Chapter 34: A Rainy Night
Although people have no idea what is going on, so many animals are running for their lives in such a frenzy, and everyone knows that there is only one way to stay here.
People's physical strength is far less than these animals, plus carrying supplies, the speed is not fast, it didn't take long to be left far behind by the animals, but Wang Lang did not dare to stop at all, some children were suddenly tripped by the protruding roots, scared wow wow crying, the adults did not go to comfort the child, saw a child fall, and dragged the child to run forward.
The sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the jungle, which was basically windless on weekdays, suddenly blew a strong wind, and for a while the wind howled, and the branches of the trees were constantly waved by the wind, and from time to time they hit the people's bodies and suddenly felt hot and painful.
In the strong wind, people ran for an unknown amount of time, until their legs were like lead and they could no longer move their steps, and then they had to stop.
Wang Lang put his hands on his knees, panting heavily, and after his breathing was stable, Wang Lang looked around at the surrounding environment, which was a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the strong wind was blocked by the mountains, and it weakened a lot here.
When Wang Lang saw a big cave halfway up a hill, his eyes suddenly showed surprise,
Looking at the thickening clouds, Wang Lang didn't dare to continue to delay here, urging people to move towards the cave.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and the cave doesn't seem very far, but Wang Lang and the others climbed for a long time to get there.
This is a large cave, and there is a large amount of rubble scattered on the slope of the mountain, and Wang Lan estimates that this cave should have been formed by a landslide.
Hiding here is dangerous, but it's also better than being outside and facing the impending downpour.
Looking inside from the outside, he saw that the cave was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly, just in case, Wang Lang found a stone and tried hard to throw it inside.
"When, when"
The stone smashed against the rock wall and remembered a string of echoes.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound coming from inside, Wang Lang was relieved, it seemed that this cave was not occupied by other animals.
While there was still some light, Wang Lan led the people to find some dead grass and branches near the cave.
After the fire was lit, the people walked into the cave with torches.
The inside of the cave is very dry, and this environment is very comfortable for everyone, and people who are tired from the day can finally rest for a while.
Since he might have to stay here for a while, Wang Lang led people to collect a large amount of dead grass and branches in case of emergency.
After this period of consumption, there are not many supplies brought, Wang Lang checked it, and roughly estimated that these things can make people last for about ten more days, and before these foods are consumed, Wang Lang must think about the future food of the tribe.
Fearing that the cave would collapse, Wang Lang did not let people go too deep into the cave, and people gathered around the fire, quietly eating the food that had been distributed, and the long running almost exhausted people's physical strength.
The young children were even more tired and almost out of strength, although they were very hungry, but they didn't have any appetite, they just lay on the ground in pain and hummed, looking at these children who were about to faint, Wang Lang was also at a loss, so he could only wait for the rain to take some rain to cook broth for them to drink.
Late at night, with a thunderclap that seemed to burst the eardrums, the rain poured down like sea water, such a heavy rain, Wang Lang had never seen such a big rain, Wang Lang even wondered if he was hallucinating.
The rain fell on the ground and made a rumbling sound, so much rain, Wang Lang was a little worried about whether it would cause the mountain to collapse, but now it is impossible for people to leave here, and to go out in such bad weather is simply to think that his life is long, Wang Lang, who originally did not believe in God, now the only thing he can do is to pray to the Buddhas and gods in the sky.
In such a terrible weather, although people are tired, the huge thunder that rises and falls one after another stimulates their nerves all the time. Make it impossible for people to sleep peacefully.
Wang Lang looked at the children who fell asleep due to excessive exhaustion, walked over and touched their foreheads, fortunately none of them had a fever, their mothers stayed aside, and saw their children snorting in pain, these mothers didn't know what to do, so they had to look at Wang Lang with pleading eyes.
"You don't have to worry, they're just too tired, I'll get them something to eat in a while, and they'll be fine soon." Wang Lang comforted.
Several women were very convinced of Wang Lang, and when they saw him say that their children would get better, their hearts that had been holding on gradually relaxed.
After appeasing the mothers of these children, Wang Lang took the clay pot to the entrance of the cave, and the pouring rain filled the clay pot in ten seconds, and the strong impact of the rain almost broke the clay pot.
Wang Lang was once again shocked by this unprecedented rainstorm, and finally understood why the animals fled for their lives to evacuate the low-lying area.
It is said that many animals are naturally alert to some natural disasters, and many animals will be evacuated in advance when disasters occur, and with such a large-scale animal migration, Wang Lang can't imagine what kind of disaster this crazy rain will bring to this jungle.
The children's painful moans interrupted Wang Lang's thoughts, poured some water into the bowl, and then sprinkled some salt into it, Wang Lang knew that after the intense physical exertion, it was necessary to replenish the salt in time.
After letting people drink the salt water, Wang Lang took out a piece of air-dried meat from the back basket containing the food, put it in a clay pot and boiled it until soft, Wang Lang took it out, cut it into small pieces with a stone knife, and threw it into the clay pot to boil.
The smell of meat wafted, people sniffed with their noses, and swallowed saliva unconsciously, although they were greedy, they all knew that this was prepared by Wang Lang for those children.
After the boiled broth had cooled, Wang Lang took some out of a bowl and came to the children.
After Wang Lang woke up a child, he helped him up and leaned on his shoulder, and fed the child the broth in the bowl in small sips.
Looking at Wang Lang's careful behavior of taking care of the children, the three new members of Blackstone had a feeling in their hearts that they couldn't speak, and if their language was rich enough, they would know that this feeling was called moving.
Other people are very proud to have a patriarch like Wang Lang, these have no contribution to the tribe at all, and can even be said to be a burdensome child, Wang Lang will not abandon or give up, people can't help but think that if one day he has an accident, Wang Lang will definitely not give up on his own.
Wang Lang didn't know that his unintentional actions had made people have so many ideas, and after several children drank the broth, he looked up and saw that people were looking at him with complicated eyes.
