Chapter 31: Saving Lives

Wang Lang: The terrain where they are located is a little higher than the surrounding area. Rainwater flowed down the slopes, and after a day of rain, the lowlands were almost completely flooded, and the whole forest seemed to stand in a huge river.

At night, the rain is still dripping, making a crackling sound on the leaves of the tents, and the people in each tent hug each other to resist the cold temperatures of the night.

Wang Lang set up a separate shelter from the rain for himself and Fanxing, and sat in the tent, Fanxing looked at the dark night outside in a daze.

"What do you think?" Wang Lang asked.

"I thought, if we hadn't left, we would have been able to catch a lot of fish, and we could have a fire in the cave and eat salted food, and we'd all be happy!" After the stars finished speaking, they sighed softly.

Wang Lang gently hugged Fanxing and let her lean on his shoulder, not responding to Fanxing's words, just quietly looking at the night outside.

"Lang, can we really find the place you said safely?"

"Well, we will definitely find it, when our next generation is born, they will not move everywhere again, our tribe will be stronger, no one will be able to hurt us, no one will force us to leave our homeland, we will weave beautiful cloth, let our children wear beautiful clothes, and burn fine pottery, as long as we can persevere, these will not be dreams." Wang Lang said lightly.

Fanxing leaned on Wang Lang's shoulder, closed his eyes and listened to Wang Lang's words quietly, fantasizing about those pictures in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

There was a dead silence in the forest, no animal sounds could be heard, only the dripping rain, the stars fell asleep in a beautiful fantasy, Wang Lang gently put her on the ground, looking at the sleeping stars, Wang Lang sighed lightly, he knew that the words of comfort and reflection were not for himself.

This heavy rain is just the beginning, according to Wang Lang's previous experience, the rainy season lasts for two months, almost every few days there will be a rain, sometimes a rain will last for a week or so, the already difficult road, now coupled with such bad weather, Wang Lang does not know if he can get out of this forest alive.

Two days later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, and people came out of their tents to enjoy the first rays of sunshine after the rain.

The forest is well drained, so that most of the rainwater is collected into the river, leaving only a few shallow puddles in the forest, and the air is filled with the smell of humidity after the water vapor evaporates from the sun's rays.

The warm sunlight brought the forest to life, and the sound of insects and frogs resounded through the forest.

Tired of eating cured meat, children look for edible insects near the tent, and when they find them, they throw them directly into their mouths and enjoy the delicious taste that nature has to offer.

Taking advantage of the good weather, people trimmed for a while, and were hurried by this bamboo basket, and the next rain may come soon.

Wang Lang led the tribe to the lower river, after the heavy rainfall in the past few days, the river water has swelled, the width of the whole river has been several times larger than before, the previous dry riverbed is gone, the turbid and turbulent river water is surging into the distance, and occasionally you can see the corpses of trees and some animals floating on the water.

For the sake of the safety of the tribe, Wang Lang forbade people to drink the water from this river during this time, and they could only drink boiled dew and rainwater on weekdays.

After the raging floods, the vegetation on both sides of the river bank is in shambles, the roads are muddy, and people struggle to navigate through the forest.

In the next few days, good fortune seemed to take care of Wang Lang's tribe, although there was some rain, but it was drizzle, and it did not affect people's movements, and these rains also allowed them to collect some rain.

Just as people were hurrying, there was a sudden roar of a tiger in front of them, and it sounded as if they were fighting something.

Just in case, Wang Lang asked Huo and Jianya to go ahead to investigate the situation.

It wasn't long before the two of them returned.

"Lang, there are a few people in front of you who have been targeted by a tiger and are confronting each other, as if a few have died." Jianya said.

Wang Lang touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Leave two people here, and the other warriors will follow me to have a look." ”

Under the leadership of Jianya, soon after Wang Lang saw three people, two men and one woman, holding spears at the huge tiger, the tiger's two curved fangs, Wang Lang recognized at a glance that this was the saber-toothed tiger that had been extinct in his world for a long time.

Behind the three men lay on the ground two people with blurred flesh and blood, and the three men did not want their fallen companions to be eaten, so they confronted the saber-toothed tiger with rudimentary weapons.

The saber-toothed tiger saw that the two-legged monkeys in front of him were hindering his prey, and although these creatures were basically useless in his eyes, the wooden sticks in their hands still caused it some trouble, and roared angrily at the three of them.

The crowd hid in the books on the sidelines, watching the confrontation between man and beast.

Huo looked at Wang Lang, meaning to ask Wang Lang what to do.

The protection of their companions by these people in front of them is obviously not the kind of tribe that has no humanity, and the number of these people is very small, so it is also a good choice to save them and let them join their own tribe.

Wang Lang didn't hesitate for long, nodded and said, "Save them!" ”

After a few people walked out of the bushes, the two sides who were facing each other spotted the uninvited guests who had broken in.

The three of them looked at these strangers and were a little panicked, holding spears to the saber-toothed tiger and Wang Lang and them.

The saber-toothed tiger let out a menacing roar at Wang Lang and the others, and the newcomers made it feel a hint of threat.

Wang Lang and the others ignored the three people who were in a panic, took off the bow and arrow on their backs, and pulled them into a full moon shape and aimed them at the saber-toothed tiger.

When the saber-toothed tiger saw that these people did not leave, but made a provocative move, he immediately became furious, leaning over his forelimbs and constantly letting out a low roar, he was ready to attack.

Wang Lang didn't give it a chance to pounce, and after a "release the arrow", the five arrows went straight to the saber-toothed tiger.

A few arrows instantly pierced the flesh of the saber-toothed tiger, making it let out a painful roar, this sudden pain made it realize that these creatures in front of it were not easy prey, but existential beings that could kill themselves, the majesty in their eyes no longer existed, revealing timidity, roaring at Wang Lang and them, and a few jumps fled into the dense forest.
