The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 39 The Flood Is Coming
The downpour did not give Bao Zhifu time to transfer the people and release the flood. In the past hour, the two rivers burst their embankments, and the flood quickly covered the three states of Zhonghan Prefecture, more than ten counties, and the capital city was not spared.

Cuihua and her group carried the bath tub and coffin out of the room. There was not much time allocated. She asked for the largest double coffin for herself, one for her husband's family and one for her mother's family, and gave the rest to other families. water planks.

In the chaos, he took sister Yuan and put Xiaocao's child from Hu Sanniu's family into his own coffin.

"Father, mother, when you hear about me, let Xiaocao follow me! Third brother, your main task is to protect your parents!"

"No, you are taking two children yourself, how can I let you take Cao'er again!" Hu Sanniu was embarrassed to bother the girl any more.

"It's easier for me to bring three than you to take one. You can still take care of the children?" Cuihua stared at her brother.

She has so much space to eat and drink, and only by following her can she get the greatest protection, isn't she worried about Damei Yuan, so she simply takes it with her.

Sister Yuan and Cuihua each have one head, two dogs, and three cubs sitting obediently in the middle of the coffin. Cuihua spread a tiger skin from the Shanhuo tribe inside the coffin. .

People from the Shanhuo clan are much older, so they didn't like her stuff, and the little leather boots didn't even fall off, and they were still in the children's small back baskets.It cost so much money to buy, don't throw it away!
There was also a big load of dry food, water bags and clothes, and finally she also sat in the coffin because the water was already rising.

The people followed those who entered the coffin into the coffin, and those who entered the bathtub entered the bathtub, wrapped in oilcloth, and waited for the drift.

Ertou: "Mother, where is this flood going to take us?"

"Mother doesn't know, so it's fine where you float." "Can you float to the capital?"

"You have a pretty good idea, and I'll just float to the capital for you."

Big head: "Mom, don't be afraid, I can swim, I can save you!"

"My eldest son is so capable, mother, thank you!" Cuihua likes to give children affirmation, and feels that praise is more useful than hitting.

"Gu, I'm obedient!" "Yeah, we Xiaocao are the most considerate!"

It took only an hour from when the water entered the inn to when the water covered the roof.

The innkeeper sat in a coffin and thanked Cuihua. The guests of this inn, because of the wood craze brought by Cuihua, would all be floating in the wood.

The water flow was not in a hurry at first, but after the speed increased, Cuihua also hid in the leather, and the corners of the rabbit skin were all sewn with strips of cloth.With the hair facing down and the skin facing up, it is tied to the iron rings around the coffin. Of course, this proud work is also made by Cuihua. Its own life-saving coffin, how to perfect it.

The coffin completely wrapped in rabbit skin only needs to be shaken from time to time for the accumulated water on the skin, and there is no water seepage at all.For the rest, each family distributed a gourd scoop, so let's scoop it up by ourselves.

Under the dark leather, the dogs were very disturbed, and they were hugged by the two little masters one by one, and smoothed their fur.

After the torrential rain passed, the children and the eldest sister were all huddled and fell asleep, Cuihua gently uncovered a corner of the rabbit skin: the muddy river water was vast, except for a roof occasionally, and Some small hills, and the family members who drifted out with her also disappeared.

Looking at the clock in the space specially adjusted for the ancient times, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

Swish, everyone was awakened by the light after the rabbit skin was lifted.The little belly started to growl, and 11 shelled goose eggs were smuggled out from the burden (space).

"Wow, mother! This egg is so big!" The two heads held the egg, feeling unable to open their mouths.

"Well, this is a specialty of Zhonghan Prefecture, goose eggs!" The geese in their downstream village are rare, but this does not hinder their enthusiasm for goose eggs at all.

Xiaocao held a goose egg that was as big as half of her face, and bit the egg with one bite. "Good time! Come on quickly!"

"Eat slowly, don't choke, there is still in the aunt's bag." Both of them are seven-year-old and eight-year-old children, one child can make two eggs, Xiaocao, eldest sister and Cuihua each ate one.

Heihu and Heibao each eat two dogs. Heihu: Tell me, if you don’t believe me, I really have eaten enough for this joke.

We were full, and while there was still a little light, everyone looked at the shimmering light under the rabbit skin.This is a flood that children cannot describe in words.

They were all smeared by the floating lake, and they don't remember staying in the coffin for a few days, doing nothing but eating and drinking, being shitted by their mother (aunt).

Cuihua can only enter the space at night to solve internal emergency problems. During the day, she dare not drink more water.

Three days later, the rain had stopped, and the coffin was blocked by an island. It is estimated that it used to be a mountain, but now it is an island.

Jumped out of the coffin, dragged the coffin and the baby inside to the top of the mountain.There are no people on this mountain island, it is the size of a football field, the highest is the top.

Using a machete to chop down dozens of trees as thick as an arm, and set up a wooden shed with the eldest sister, how could she have imagined that she, Cuihua, would one day be able to survive in the wilderness with her cubs, and it took them 4 hours.

Let the eldest sister take the children to pick up dry branches nearby as firewood, and the two dogs were temporarily upgraded to become nanny and guards.

Meat dishes must be served tonight. After a quick inspection of this mountain island, there are really a lot of small prey, and a lot of them were collected by the seven tigers. Finally, they took away the two skinned rabbits and Two pheasants with their heads turned (this is a private collection when hunting in the mountains), with their internal organs removed.

Peeled rabbits, rubbed with a little fine salt, skewered on wooden sticks, and roasted on two wooden sticks with forks.

Some salt was also applied to the inside of the two chickens, and the water and the mud that came out were applied layer by layer, on the feathers of the chickens, and finally became a big ball of mud.After eating two fat rabbits, each of them ate a wild pear, and the mud chicken was buried in the fire. This is their breakfast tomorrow morning.

The simple wooden shed was covered with tiger skins and rabbit skins on the roof. It was very hot, but my aunt said that it would be cold at night when it rained, and the babies were so hot to death.

The coffin rungs were at the entrance of the shed, and the two dogs slept in it.

At midnight, after everyone was asleep, she had to hurry up in the space and prepare the food that could be taken out.

Washed a basket of fresh shepherd's purse, killed a lot of rabbits and pheasants, and fish.On this mountain, she only saw a few wild pear and persimmon trees, and these two fruits can be prepared.

I have to make some containers tomorrow, this is really the stone age, stone pots, stone slabs!
It is very useful to use a thousand catties of strength to chisel stones. No, in just one morning, a stone pot the size of a washbasin has been chiseled out, and there are still a few stone slabs. Each person has a large wooden bowl, the size of a face, and chopsticks. It's no problem.

Holding the gnawed chicken bones, they stewed a pot of wild vegetable soup in the stone pot, and each person made a wooden bowl.

Ertou: "Mother, this is the life of the Monkey King Immortal!"

"Monkeys don't eat meat!" Cuihua deliberately raised an argument.

"The Monkey King has turned into a human being, and he can eat meat every day!" The two heads expressed their dissatisfaction!

"That's right, mother, let's continue the story tonight!" "Isn't the story finished? Listen to it!" Everyone nodded like garlic.

I still want to play the rhythm of the second brush. I really can't underestimate the influence of "Journey to the West" in the hearts of young friends.

The little friends are counting the good things with their mothers (siblings) (aunts) with their fingers, and listening to the story of the Monkey King beating monsters, they feel that life is so beautiful!
