"It has been raining for almost five days and has not stopped, and the intensity of the rain is not letting up. The river is a day's journey from us. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that in less than a day, our place will... Being washed over by the river, the most important thing for everyone now is to quickly pack up useful things and go to higher and flatter places."

After hearing what Chu Cheng said, everyone looked at each other.

Some are hesitant and some are afraid.

"Probably not. The chief also said just now that the river will not rush towards us."

"Yes! The distance is quite far."

"If we were to leave now, we would have to pack our things. It would be too troublesome."

"But I think what Chu Cheng said makes sense."

Everyone was talking about it and couldn't make up their minds.

"Chu Cheng! What are you talking about! How can you say such things to scare everyone?!"

The chief was already dissatisfied with Chu Cheng, and now he was even more angry when he saw him refute his actions.

"We have lived in the tribe for so many years. When have we ever seen such weather? It has not rained for three or four months, and now it rains for five or six days in a row, and it rains heavily. Not only that, but even everyone Many houses have collapsed due to the bad weather, and some low-lying areas have even been flooded. I would like to ask everyone, has this happened before?"

Chu Cheng was not in a hurry, waiting for these people to answer.

"No, at my age, I have never seen such weather."

"Me too. Usually when it rains heavily, the house may leak a little, but it's never been like this."

"That's right, my house is flooded!"

"Everyone, be quiet! What's the noise about?"

The chief showed a dissatisfied look, "Chu Cheng is making alarmist remarks! Aren't you tired of moving things? It's raining now. Isn't it hard to take the whole family out to find a place to settle down? What if the river doesn't flow to us? What if the river doesn't flow to us? Isn’t this all your hard work in vain?”

After hearing this, everyone felt that what the chief said seemed to make sense.

"Then what should we do?"

"I think Chu Cheng is right."

"But what the chief said is right!"

"Okay, okay! It's nothing serious. The rain will stop in a few days. Now that everyone has time to talk here, why not go back quickly? What should I do if I get sick from the rain?!"

The chief glanced at Chu Cheng and asked everyone to leave quickly.

"Wait!"

Chu Cheng's voice sounded, and everyone stopped talking and looked at him intently.

"I know some people don't believe it. They think that the river is far away from us and will not rush to us. I am making a fuss out of a molehill now, but everyone must be prepared for danger in times of peace and not wait until danger arrives to remedy this matter. When the time comes, you can’t fix it even if you want to.”

"Since I don't have the same opinion as the chief, that's fine. If you agree with what the chief said, you all can stay. If you think I'm right, you should go back and pack your things immediately. I will take you to a safe place to hide. , we will meet in front of the tribe in half an hour. If it takes more than half an hour, then I think you won’t come and won’t wait any longer.”

After saying that, Chu Cheng took Qin Yao back to the wooden house regardless of everyone's choice.

Chu Cheng packed up all the things he should bring, and buried those that he couldn't take away in the cave.

In the past, he was afraid that someone would come when he was not in the cave, so Chu Cheng dug a hole underground, which was just right for storing things.

"Do you want to see if there's anything else you want to get?"

Time was too tight and they couldn't take everything.

Qin Yao shook her head, and Chu Cheng brought everything he could bring.

Although he is a bit rough at ordinary times, he is very careful when it comes to big things. He can think of everything Qin Yao can't think of.

"Pheasant! There are pheasants!" "There's no way to take this thing away."

Qin Yao also knew that, but this pheasant cub was born with great difficulty and had just grown hair. Could it be that he was going to die here?
"You put on the animal skin first and wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Chu Cheng ran out quickly.

Qin Yao didn't know where he was going. While wearing animal skin clothes, she was thinking about the pheasants.

Only when Chu Cheng came back did he tell her that he had settled all the pheasants.

"Where did you put them?"

"Don't we have a cage? I caught all the pheasants in the cage. Then I found a taller and thicker tree and put the cage up. There was a slot outside the cage. I put some food for them. As for Water...they don’t need water even if it rains so heavily.”

Chu Cheng originally wanted to put them in the cave, but he was afraid that the river would rush into the cave, so he didn't put them in.

"I also opened a small door for them. If the rain doesn't stop, the river keeps flooding, and the food in the trough runs out, they can still rely on their own instincts to find food."

Whether we can see them again is another matter.

Qin Yao also knew that this was the best way at the moment. Without any further delay, the two of them arrived at the tribe's gate with their things.

There are already several families waiting here.

Chu Cheng nodded at them. Half an hour hadn't come yet, so they would wait a little longer.

Not long after, Fu Hai and others also arrived, followed by Qi Yi Qitian's family, and some of Chu Cheng's brothers.

Qin Yao counted and found that there were about twenty households.

There were Qi Ying and her husband's family inside, and even Xi He came with them.

Seeing that the time was coming, Chu Cheng decided not to wait. If they waited any longer, they would waste a lot of time.

"Okay, let's get ready to go!"

Everyone didn't know where Chu Cheng was going to take them, but the people who came out believed in him very much.

The rain was so heavy that he could hardly see the road. Chu Cheng was afraid that Qin Yao would fall, so he carefully supported her along the way.

"Wait...sister...sister, wait for me..."

Qin Yao vaguely heard someone calling "sister", but when she wanted to listen carefully, she was drowned out by the loud sound of rain.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just seemed to hear someone calling me."

Qin Yao thought she heard it wrong, but after walking a few steps, she heard such a sound again, and she immediately looked back.

They saw a small figure running towards them in the heavy rain as dense as a bead curtain.

His small steps were not fast enough, and he fell to the ground after running two steps.

He wanted to cry, but didn't. He got up again and continued running.

Qin Yao's eyes turned red when she looked at that small figure.

"Dongdong! Slow down! We are waiting for you!"

The road under his feet was indeed difficult to walk on. When Qi Tian saw Dongdong coming, he was a little surprised. Seeing that he fell after taking a few steps, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran over, picked him up and walked back.

When she got closer, Qin Yao could see Dongdong's expression clearly. Her nose felt sore and she wanted to cry. (End of chapter)
