Chapter 25: Common Sense of Thunder and Lightning

The rain was falling, and the piglets in the pigsty were hiding in the small shed to cover the rain next to their mothers, Jun Qianqian was holding a bunch of hemp in her hand, and combing it with the comb that Luo Ze gave her.

She wanted to comb the fibers of the hemp more so that she could spin the thread.

"It's time to eat."

Luo Ze found Jun Qianqian, who was sitting at the mouth of the cave watching the rain, he brought dinner wrapped in leaves, although there was no fresh fish to eat today, but the dried fish was grilled fragrant and crispy, and the lynx was also smeared with salt and made into barbecue.

Jun Qianqian also got a chicken leg.

"Do you want me to eat this?"

As we all know, chickens only have two legs, and Jun Qianqian thinks that at her age, she has long been treated as chicken legs at the dinner table.

When I was a child, when I spent the New Year with my grandparents, the chicken legs would appear in my bowl every time.

I miss it when I think about it.

"You don't really like to eat bobcat meat."

When the lynx was slaughtered, Jun Qianqian was almost rushed by the sour and sour taste.

It makes sense that the ancestors have domesticated chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and pigs for thousands of years, and the taste of other beasts is indeed indescribable.

"Am I a picky eater......

Jun Qianqian was embarrassed to pick up the chicken legs, and the women in the tribe were getting better and better at roasting.

"The patriarch told me to give the pheasants to the children."

As a great hero, there is nothing wrong with adding chicken legs to dinner, and Luo Ze doesn't think Jun Qianqian is a picky eater at all.

Everyone knows what the taste of lynx meat is, but it's good to eat it, and they won't be picky about the taste.

If you want to say that it is delicious, it must be the wild boar in the pigsty outside that tastes the best.

"yes, I'm still a kid......"

Jun Qianqian thought it was funny, today's heavy rain was accompanied by bursts of thunder, Luo Ze and her sat side by side watching the sky, and every time a lightning bolt crossed the sky, she would immediately cover her ears.

Listen to the thunder in the cave and the sound is super loud!

The echo scares people to death!

"Can you predict thunder?"

Luo Ze noticed that every time Jun Qianqian covered her ears, there would be a huge thunder immediately.

"Yes, if you see lightning, you're about to hear thunder."

Jun Qianqian finished speaking as a matter of course, and then remembered that the conclusion that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound was only reached in modern times.

“……”

Luo Ze's eyes were immediately full of admiration when he looked at Jun Qianqian.

In this era, people still know too little about nature, how spring, summer, autumn and winter change, how lightning and thunder occur, these are not clear, and they are full of reverence and fear for the unknown.

"Thunder and lightning can kill people, and it can also bring wildfires."

Luo Ze has always thought that thunderstorms are a very terrible thing, but Jun Qianqian can predict thunder......

Isn't she really a fairy who dwells above the clouds?

"That's true, so don't stand under a tree when it's thundering or raining!"

Jun Qianqian took the opportunity to carry out popular science literacy activities.

"Can't stand under a tree? Why? ”

Luo Ze looked at Jun Qianqian eagerly with the look of a good student.

"Because lightning will slash at the highest thing nearby, the tree must be taller than a person, if you lie down in an open place, you must not hide from the rain under the tree, in fact, lightning and thunder are the same thing, two different clouds collide in the sky and produce lightning, and when you see the light, you will hear thunder."

Jun Qianqian pointed to a lightning bolt that suddenly appeared in the sky to show Luo Ze, and sure enough, a few seconds later, the thunder came.

"It's best to hide from the rain in a cave, but it's also best not to lean against a wall, don't stand on the top of a mountain when it's thundering, and don't run fast when you see lightning."

Jun Qianqian thinks that she can't explain such a thing as voltage for Luo Ze, and the people here don't have a concept of electricity, but as long as you pay attention to what she said, it can greatly reduce the possibility of lightning damage.

"I remember."

Luo Ze nodded vigorously in particular earnestness.

"In the summer, there are often thundershowers when it gets hot, but don't worry too much!"

Jun Qianqian waved her hand in front of Luo Ze's face, she didn't know that the people in the tribe were very afraid of thunderstorms, and the few people who had just run out to clean the hemp in the rain were almost no different from the heroes who charged in their eyes.

Because of ignorance, there is fear.

"Can I tell my people about this?"

Luo Ze looked at Jun Qianqian and asked softly.

"Of course."

In Jun Qianqian's opinion, these are common knowledge that children know, and she has not yet realized how many people have been required to exchange their lives for the discovery of these common sense.

After listening to Luo Ze's relay about thunder and lightning, the clansmen looked at Jun Qianqian's figure and became more and more respectful, and in a short period of time, her status in the Purple Flower Tribe became transcendent.

"That kid is the messenger who came down from the sky to save the Purple Flower Tribe."

The patriarch muttered.

“……”

However, the "messenger of the sky" was still sitting at the door at this time, and the two big ones were in a mess in their hands.

"Spinning is a technical job......

The thundershower didn't last long, and after the clouds cleared, the sky could still see the last rays of blue-purple sunset.

As the summer days grew, nets made of hemp soon replaced baskets woven with vines, and even when the water level rose by the river, the nets that could be pulled by eight people could catch a full load of fresh fish.

The Purple Flower Tribe prepared for a few more days to go to the market, and the trap by the lake was temporarily unusable due to the accumulation of water in the heavy rain, and Luo Ze took the young man to dig a few new ones in the forest.

Jun Qianqian suggested digging a trap on the periphery of the tribe, which could be used as a defense while hunting, and considering the future expansion of the tribe, this circle of traps was dug a little further away from the center of the tribe.

Tomorrow, the team carrying the hemp rope to change the salt will set off, and this time Daze will not go together again, and the leader of the team will be replaced by Luo Ze.

"I would have liked to ...... with you"

Jun Qianqian knew that she should go to the market with everyone, and she needed to know about the prices in this world, but she was very resistant to this trip.

"I know, it's good for you to stay in the tribe."

Luo Ze touched the top of Jun Qianqian's head, and he understood that for her, the bazaar was not a place to have good memories.

“……”

Objectively speaking, Jun Qianqian did not suffer too much after crossing into this world, and although she became a trophy, the caretakers of the River Valley tribe did not deliberately treat her harshly.

It's just that those who can only wait anxiously under the scorching sun are carved under her skin as if they have become wounds, and she feels uncomfortable at the mention of the market.

I'm afraid it won't leave a psychological shadow......

Jun Qianqian patted her little heart.

"I just need a little bit of time......"

She'll definitely go to the next fair! True warriors dare to face any shadow!

"Qianqian, it doesn't matter if you never want to go, don't force yourself."

Luo Ze looked at the girl who was so tense that he was trembling a little, and hugged her in his arms in distress.

It was this embrace that saved her from despair.
