Chapter 5 My life is suspended
People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds.
On this day, the sun set on the mountain, and the red glow had just faded, and the sunset was just showing its head, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.
It's just as ordinary as everyday, and it's a gentle autumn rain.
Seeing this, Chuan Yun hurriedly picked up a few wide leaves nearby, climbed the dead wood with great difficulty, and put them on the crevices to prevent the rain from invading the tree holes.
She looked worriedly at the top of her head when the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a gust of wind whistled and swept away the leaves in an instant, leaving only a few crevices alone.
Chuanyun ......
The dead wood lost its shield, and the rainwater seeped into the cracks and flowed down in streams, forming small water curtains, and the tree holes became completely "water curtain holes".
Chuan Yun couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"The high wind roared in August and autumn, rolling up the triple thatch on my roof."
Du Fu's desolate state of mind at that time was completely empathetic to her, and if she did reading comprehension at this moment, she would definitely get a full score.
Alas......
Life is not easy, the turtle sighed.
Most of the nest was already wet, and Chuan Yun silently moved to one of the few dry places inside.
Let's make the storm more violent!
It's rotten!
She hasn't encountered many good things since she came into this world.
As soon as the shell was broken, he almost died in the mouth of the snake, and finally escaped death to avoid the white-shouldered eagle and survived, and found that he was on the stall of a group of people who "don't care about the birth and don't wait to see the children".
When you are born, you have to run for your own rations, and you have to be constantly guarding against becoming the food of other animals.
After finding a "nest" to settle down temporarily, it took less than a day before a storm broke out and swept away her "hairy" roof.
She's too unlucky.
The only thing that is gratifying now is the speed at which her "hands" have recovered, and it has only been an afternoon to heal.
That's the speed.
Outrageous!
But she was satisfied.
Chuan Yun was very sure that she was shaving some ordinary Houttuynia cordata, which had a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
Maybe......
It is really possible that she is not just an ordinary turtle, maybe she is the descendant of some divine beast boss left in this world, a divine beast baby with the blood of ancient divine beasts.
Yes, it must be.
Chuan Yun closed his eyes, learned from the fantasy novels he had read before, and slowly breathed in his breath, and began to meditate very reverently, thinking that some ancient inheritance might pop up in his mind later.
A minute passes......
The wind whistled through his head, and there was nothing in his mind.
There is no hurry, it may be that there is not enough time.
She retracted her head into her shell.
Ten minutes passed......
Or nothing.
Don't worry, it must be that she is not sincere enough.
She stuck her head out again.
An hour passed......
The dead wood floated, and she followed it and swayed on the water.
Go to its ancient heritage~
Looking at the rain that had already covered his limbs and had been poured into his shell, Chuan Yun felt that he was more reliable.
She climbed to the mouth of the tree hole and found that the small puddles around her had been connected into a small lake, and many small milk turtles of the same age as her were swimming leisurely in it.
The water level in the river has risen and has become turbid and turbulent from its original crystal clear.
The banks of the river were full of turtles crawling ashore at some point. At a glance, the big, the small, the old, and the young all shrank into their shells to avoid danger.
These are her current "people".
Most of them waited patiently by the riverbank, did not go far, and shrank in their shells and did not move. Some don't even bother to stretch their heads, just wait for the rain to stop and the water level to go down, and then re-"divide" the field.
An autumn rain and a cold, the weather is cold, indicating that a cold winter is coming.
The limited resources for survival in this area and the lack of "division" into territories means that you will not be able to fill your stomach before the onset of winter, and there is a high chance that you may starve to death during hibernation and not wake up after the beginning of spring.
Kawayun still retains the consciousness of being a human being, and is really unable to feed on mollusks such as snails, earthworms, and slugs like other baby turtles.
She tried it when she first woke up, but she really couldn't get past that level in her heart.
She is human and has her own pride, and even if she is a turtle now, it can't erase the fact that she was once a human.
But if it goes on like this, it's not easy to live.
Thundered~
Thunder rang out in the low sky.
It was pouring rain, and the water level in the river was rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, and many adult turtles on the riverbank were swept away before they could react, leaving only a field of mud and sand.
The surrounding trees rustled, and the low mountain chirp was accompanied by the sound of thunder.
This is......
A precursor to a flash flood!
The alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Chuan Yun turned around and subconsciously wanted to push the remaining duck egg and run away.
It's a great way to replenish energy, and it's the most precious food in the harsh climate.
Just the moment his hand touched the smooth and delicate eggshell of the duck egg, Chuan Yun abandoned this idea, and instead used the "top egg teeth" on the tip of his nose to break the eggshell, put his whole head in it and drank it quickly.
Running for your life with a duck egg is obviously a burden, and it's a pity to lose it.
Let's have a full meal first!
In less than a minute, she drank a full nine minutes, and then conveniently jumped out of the tree hole, fell into the water, and paddled the water out of the turbid "small lake" with her limbs, and used all her strength to climb to the high ground.
Soon, she struggled to climb into the bushes under a large tree on higher ground, and when she turned around, she saw that her "nest" had been swept away by a flash flood.
Most of the adult turtles on the river bank have disappeared, and most of the ones who are climbing to the higher ground are small milk turtles and old turtles, and the adult turtles are only a few.
The river widened, and the uprooted trees began to drift down, and I saw the little squirrels above rushing to and fro on the branches like ants on a hot pot.
She even saw several wild boars struggling and roaring in the floodwaters, but they were soon overwhelmed by the muddy floodwaters and completely silent.
In the riverbed, there was a sound different from that of locomotives, thunder, and explosions, as if the sky was falling apart.
For a moment, there was the roar and roar of animals everywhere.
Thankfully, she left before the flash floods.
Otherwise, it can only be one of those souls who died tragically.
Chuanyun deeply felt the powerlessness in the face of major natural disasters and the fragility of life.
Before she had time to sigh and feel sad, she only heard a "boom" behind her, and it was thunder that struck a nearby cliff.
Then there was a loud sound that shook the heavens, and the earth shook the mountains.
"Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Whoa......
She watched with her own eyes as the mountain behind her was kneaded like a cardboard box, collapsing, collapsing; Trees fell and fell like small sticks, and broke and broken.
It's a mudslide.
MD, there's no end to it.
Looking at the mudslide that was rushing towards him at great speed, Chuan Yun knew that it was impossible for him to dodge at all, so he could only shrink himself into the turtle shell as much as possible, and at the moment when he was swept up in the mudslide, his whole head was only filled with four big words:
My life is at rest!
