Chapter 30: The Rainy Season Arrives

The night was uneventful, and the tribe did seem to have given up on their pursuit, and the early morning sun made people open their hazy eyes, eat food, and people continued to move towards the unknown.

After a long day of trekking, Wang Lang didn't know how far he had walked, surrounded by a piece of green, no different from other places, living in the jungle for a long time, and Wang Lang couldn't be interested in these primeval forests that amazed modern people.

I don't know how many hunters lurked in the low bushes around them, staring at this group of strange creatures walking upright.

People don't walk fast because of the supplies they carry, stopping every few hours to rest.

Jianya took a sip of water, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked, "Lang, where are we going to move, are we going to go on like this?"

"We have to find a suitable place for us to settle, the jungle is too dangerous, we can always get out of this jungle by walking along the river." Wang Lang said.

Jianya scratched his head, he didn't think there was any danger in the jungle, his ancestors had lived like this for generations, so he asked suspiciously: "Isn't it also possible to build walls in the jungle, as long as we make the walls stronger, nothing should hurt us." ”

The importance of agriculture is beyond their comprehension, and the abundance of species in this rainforest makes it impossible for them to develop animal husbandry and planting, although they have evolved similar to modern humans, but their level of civilization is pitiful, Wang Lang can't help but sigh that it is indeed the harsh environment that can stimulate human creativity.

"I want to give my people a better life, you look at these plants around you, why do you think they are growing." Wang Lang pointed around and asked a question that seemed silly to them.

"Plants are plants, what does it have to do with us how they grow?" Someone asked.

Wang Lang pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "Of course it has a relationship, and our future lives will depend on this." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what medicine Wang Lang bought in his bones.

"Lang, don't lose everyone's appetite, tell us quickly." Fanxing asked with some curiosity.

Wang Lang picked up a handful of weeds from the ground, pointed to the seeds on them and said: "Look at these grass seeds, they will fall off by themselves when they are mature, and after being watered by rain, these grass seeds will break through the soil in a short time, and a wild grass can grow dozens of new weeds, if we find a plant that can be eaten, we can use this way, collect seeds by ourselves and bury them in the soil, we can receive countless food, the terrain of the jungle is not suitable for such a thing." ”

After Wang Lang finished speaking, people looked at the plants growing around them, these things that were useless before them, after Wang Lang said this, they realized that there was such a truth in it, but they had not been exposed to this aspect of things before, and they were still a little worried.

"Lang, is this really okay?" Fire asked.

Wang Lang said confidently: "Of course no problem, just like the rhizome of the kind of plant we ate before, as long as we cut it into small pieces and bury it in the soil, of course, this is just this kind of plant, there are many edible plants in this world, as long as we pay attention to observation, we can always find the right one, imagine that if we go out of the jungle and find a flat place, where we plant a lot of edible plants, build houses, and raise a large number of animals, we don't have to risk hunting, sunrise and sunset." Wouldn't you like to live like this for our descendants? ”

Wang Lang's depiction is extremely attractive, people fantasize about what kind of life it should be, endless food and safe shelter, and some people seem to imagine something interesting, and they can't help laughing.

"Chief, can we really find a place like this?" A little boy asked timidly.

Wang Lang touched his head and smiled: "Yes, there will definitely not be jungles in this world, as long as we walk along the river, we will always find it, the road may be very dangerous and very hard, are you afraid?" ”

The little boy puffed up his chest, clenched his little fist and thumped it vigorously, and said proudly: "I am a warrior of the tribe, I am not afraid"

The others couldn't help but laugh as they watched the little boy try to pose as an adult.

Wang Lang rubbed his head with a smile and said, "Okay! Since you are a warrior, then you have to look like a warrior, and you can't talk about it, as a warrior, you have to take care of your mother, and you can't cause trouble for the adults. Remember? ”

The little boy nodded earnestly.

With a beautiful pie painted by Wang Lang for everyone, people couldn't wait to get out of this jungle immediately, and after recovering their strength, people carried supplies with high morale and continued to move forward.

But this jungle is so vast that there is hardly any difference in the whole forest except for some differences in the plants, and the high morale of the people is soon replaced by exhaustion, and there used to be talk and laughter along the way, but now no one speaks, but only rushes away.

Five days later, the sky was dark and oppressive, and the roaring thunder startled countless birds in the forest, and lightning seemed to split the sky one after another.

People knew that the rainy season was coming, and it was impossible to continue the journey due to such bad weather, and for fear of the river swelling and flooding, people had to stay away from the river and choose a higher place to take shelter.

Since there was no shelter from the rain nearby, Wang Lang had to have people cut down some branches, set up a few simple triangular tents, covered several layers with leaves similar to plantain plants, and dug a shallow drainage ditch near the tent.

The thunder in the sky continued, and it didn't take long for the rain to fall to the earth, even if the forest trees were tall and leafy, they couldn't stop such a heavy rainfall, and the forest was the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves for a while, and the water curtain between heaven and earth made the world look white.

There was rain everywhere, and people couldn't find anything to start a fire in such weather, and in the small space of the tent, several people huddled together and laboriously chewed on the cured raw meat, hoping that the rain would soon abate.

God didn't seem to pay attention to their thoughts, and the torrential rain showed no signs of abating from early morning until late afternoon, and although the rain had weakened, the sky was still cloudy, and it was not known when the rain would stop.
