Song of the rain in the forest

"How long will it take to get out?" Qianhu looked around and said.

Probably because of the time is too long, even the highest work in the history of human architecture can not avoid the destruction of time, the collapse of part of the upper area caused the steel frame of the structure to fall down one after another, and they were inserted straight into the ground of the next layer, or sparse or dense to form a forest of steel.

"Indeed! I've been walking around this dense jungle since I came to this place the day before yesterday. The boy pinched the bridge of his nose with some visual fatigue and said.

"What is the jungle?" Yuri asked curiously.

"Eh, I think I've seen it in a book, it looks like a forest made up of lots and lots of plants."

"Lots of plants............ There's bound to be endless food to be found there......" Yuri said, drooling.

"Well! This is not wrong, after all, thousands of years ago people were still keen to explore the jungle and hunt in the jungle. ”

"Hunting...... In order to eat? Yuri asked.

"There are some people who hunt animals for food, but I think it's more for profit. It is said that the fur, teeth, and horns of some rare animals were highly sought after by the upper class at that time! The boy said.

"Huh? Isn't it for eating? Yuri was surprised, after all, it was still difficult for her to understand this kind of killing just for money in an environment where food was becoming increasingly hard to find.

"How stupid? Money or something, obviously it doesn't mean anything after you die, does it? Just like now, the entire human society has collapsed, and even the human race is facing extinction...... Money is not even as precious to us as a mouthful of water. The boy sighed.

"Human ...... Is it going extinct? Yuri said in frustration.

"After all, we've only met Fubo and Kanazawa for so long! Maybe we won't meet any other humans on the next journey. "Because Qianhu has read a lot of books, he has actually prepared for this world in his heart, and this trip is not a final trip.

"Well! Let's not be so pessimistic, at least now there is me, Chinohe, and Yuri here, right? As long as we are traveling, we will always meet other people again. The boy reassured.

"That's right! Fubo is right! That's why we have to continue to travel, to go up to higher places, and once we get to the top, there will be something! Qianhe said with a cheer up.

"Oh! To the top! Yuri shouted with her hands in the air.

Just when the group was in high spirits, a drop of water fell from the sky on the armrest of the half-track car, making a ticking sound.

“………… Chi-chan"

"What?"

………………

"Bang la la la~~" The sudden appearance of the drifting rain made Chito understand what Yuri wanted to say.

The raindrops kept hitting the helmets of the boys and girls, making a clattering sound......

"It's rain!" Yuri raised her hands in the air and cheered.

"Is it time to make a fuss?"

"Na!" The boy took out a cloak from his backpack and draped it over Chino's body, while he opened the umbrella and pulled Yuri, who had stopped making noise, into his side to take shelter from the rain.

"Thank you!" Chiho said gratefully.

"No thanks! I covered the supplies in the car with a tarp, but because the rain was so heavy, I thought it would be better to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible! The boy said, holding an umbrella.

"Yes! Just moor to a covered place, but where can you hide from the rain? Chinohe searched carefully with wide eyes as he sped up in the rain.

"Ahh Chi-chan! Chi-chan! Look, there's shelter from the rain! ”

"Where............ Yes! Got it! Chinohe looked in the direction Yuri was pointing, and finally found a shelter with the remains of a huge abandoned building not far away.

The group picked up speed and finally entered the shelter before the rain became heavier.

"It's covered, but it's still wet in some places!" Chito shook off his coat and said.

"Oops! I found a nice stick! Chi-chan, give me the clothes and I'll hang them up for you. Yuri hung her coat on a stick and spoke to the two of them.

"Thank you! Then I'll make some hot soup to warm you up, after all, it's not good if you catch a cold! The boy handed Yuri his coat and took out the small liquefied gas canister and pot he had found in the abandoned food factory, picked up some rainwater, and burned it.

"What a help!" Chinohe thanked.

"It's okay! Rest well! ”

"It's been a long time since it's rained!" Yuri said, sitting on the abandoned pipes in the shelter.

"Hmm............ It's so loud............" Chido said in unison as he looked at the book.

"It's so idle............"

Maybe it was a little too long to sit, Yuri stood up and picked up a stick and tapped it randomly on the walls, pipes, and the like.

"Kangkangkang~~"

"Oh~ The sound is good!"

"Kangkangkang~~"

"It's really loud~~ Why?" Yuri said as she knocked more cheerfully.

"Kang Kangkang's quarrel is dead! ……………… Well, it's probably because it's a hollow structure, and if it's empty in the middle, it will be loud to knock on! ”

"I see!"

"Knock knock............" The iron rod struck on Chino's helmet......

"Oh! This tone is also good, isn't it hollow in the middle? Yuri mischievous.

"It hurts!" Chiho snatched the stick with his backhand and knocked Yuri to the ground.

"Goo-woo-woo............"

"I'm at least better than you! Since you're so idle, collect water for me! ”

"Goo...... Be! Pick it up right now. Yuri placed the bucket at the leak with a lot of water.

"Goo Dong Goo Dong ~~" The clear rain continued to pour in, making a pleasant sound.

"I guess it's okay to put it here!" Yuri muttered to herself.

"Oh~Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~" The rain dripped on the ventilation pipe next to it and made a rhythmic sound.

"............" Yuri observed for a moment, taking off her helmet and placing it at the raindrop, her voice becoming more cheerful and pleasant.

"It should be better............"

The blonde girl said as she came to Chino, who was reading a book.

"Lend me a helmet!"

"There is no problem though......" Chido opened the clasp on his chin.

"But what are you going to do with it?"

"............" Yuri didn't answer, and went straight to her helmet and put Chino's helmet on the side.

"Ahh The sound is pretty good! Chiho closed his eyes and listened carefully to the beautiful rhythm of the raindrops hitting the two helmets.

"Right!"

"How about a few more? Anyway, there are a lot of leaks! "Qianhu suggested.

"Good!" Yuri agreed.

As she spoke, the two girls immediately got up.........

"This ...... There is also this ............ "Senhe placed lanterns and empty cans at different rain leaks.

"Look! There are so many empty jars! Yuri gathered a bunch of empty jars, presumably left behind by humans who had rested here before, and said happily to Chino.

As almost all the leaks were filled, a symphony of raindrops began to sound throughout the shelter..................

"It's like drowning in a flood of sound. Could it be ...... Is this what music is called? ”

"Music?" Yuri asked.

"Well...... It seems to be something that connects different sounds in a certain rhythm! ”

"I see!"

"But we've probably gone a little too far."

"Is there too much to put on it?"

"Oh~ That's a good rhythm!" The boy said with a steaming pot in his hand.

"Fubo-chan, you're here!"

"Want to help?"

"It's okay!" The boy put the stew in his hand and took three cups from the car.

"Yuri! It's yours, be careful of scalding! The boy handed a full cup of stew to Yuri, who was already standing and waiting.

"Thank you!" Yuri took it carefully.

"Chino, this is yours."

"Thank you, Fubo."

"Nothing!" The boy poured himself a cup of stew again, sat down next to Yuri and drank it!

"Ah~~ delicious!"

"I feel like my whole body is hot!"

"It's nice to listen to music and drink hot soup at the same time!" The boy also took a sip and said.

"Yes! It's really comfortable............" Chido let out a long sigh, closing his eyes as if he had been melted by this cup of hot soup and began to enjoy it.

"I always feel like I'm alive!" Yuri was already slumped in the ventilation duct, holding her cup in her hands and muttering.

The three of them felt the joy of being alive for a long time surrounded by music, and it also relieved the pressure accumulated from running around for a long time............

Gradually, the rain stopped, and so did the music around me......

"Na! Sen-chan, floating wave sauce...... It turns out that the world we usually live in ............"

“…… It's so quiet! Chiho continued.

The rain stopped completely, and the whole world fell silent again..................
