Primitives are stunned

Chapter 35 Cold Rainy Night

After dinner, the patriarch wore a wolf fur and went to each cave to remind everyone not to go out at night, and asked each cave to arrange night watchmen.

When it rains heavily, some ferocious beasts that are forced by the heavy rain and have nowhere to hide often come into the village, so we have to guard against them.

When the patriarch came to Wang Hao's cave, Wang Hao grabbed him and asked, "Uncle, the cave won't collapse under such heavy rain."

The patriarch looked at the pillars supporting the cave, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've lived here for more than 30 years, and it has never collapsed."

Wang Hao said again: "But in the past there were only dozens of people in the village, and there were only four big holes and six small holes. Now there are more than 100 people in the village, and there are six more Guangda holes."

The patriarch was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, it's okay." He patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and walked towards the next cave.

It always gets dark earlier when it rains. Maoqiu grabbed a wooden stick and rode on the little wolf, wanting to come over and play games with Wang Hao, but Wang Hao didn’t care about it, so he took some rainwater from the outside to help Maoqiu. Ball washed his face and fell asleep.

After falling asleep, Wang Hao had a dream, dreaming that a landslide occurred in the cave, and everyone in the whole village died except him.Then, Wang Hao faced the siege of beasts overwhelming the wilderness.Those beasts fought with him for a day and night, and finally he had no strength left, and then he lay down and waited to die. Just when the beast in his dream was about to bite off his neck, he felt a pain in his foot, and then woke up up.

Opening his eyes and sitting up from the haystack, Wang Hao found that his back was wet.In such cold weather, it is impossible for him to sweat, even cold sweat, and it is impossible for water to seep into the hole, so what happened to his back.

Before finding out the reason, I saw the culprit that caused my foot pain.It was actually one of the few wolf cubs that he brought back that bit him.

Seeing that Wang Hao woke up, the little wolves quickly bit Wang Hao's animal skin clothes, and pulled it out vigorously, while the fur ball stood on the back of the wolf and said something to Wang Hao.

A bad premonition came to Wang Hao's mind. Animals have an instinct to feel natural disasters in advance. Wang Hao has heard about it for a long time. Today, the little wolf and the furballs are so abnormal. Could it be that something is about to happen.

Touching the dry grass under his body, Wang Hao found that the grass was already soaked.By the light of the fire at the entrance of the cave, Wang Hao saw that water seeped from the wall, and the whole ground was already wet.

Seeing that Wang Hao was still in a daze, several wolf cubs wailed, rushed out of the cave, and ran far away into the icy heavy rain, their urgent calls made Wang Hao panic.

Today, Wang Hao's father, Wang Da, was the watchman in his cave today. Surprised by the little wolf running past him, he saw Wang Hao sitting up, smiled and said, "Son, why are you up? If you want to pee Just pee in the husk and pour it out tomorrow morning, it’s cold outside.”

Wang Hao didn't answer, but looked at the fur ball that was pulling him outward, not knowing what to do.

While pulling Wang Hao's animal clothes, Fuqiu yelled anxiously, looking at the outside of the cave for a while, and Wang Hao for a while.

After a while, seeing that Wang Hao was still in a daze, it let out a shrill cry, then got into Wang Hao's arms, shrank its whole body into a ball, and hid in Wang Hao's arms trembling.

Wang Hao's face turned hard, he gritted his teeth and kicked Wang Hu who was sleeping next to him, who was snoring loudly, and shouted to his father: "The ancestor god told me that the cave is about to collapse, so hurry up and wake up the people of the clan to go out. Except for the animal skin , weapons, shovels and other tools, don’t bring anything, time is running out!”

Wang Da and Wang Hu who had just woken up felt their scalps go numb for a moment after hearing Wang Hao's words.The cave that has been inhabited for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years is actually told by the ancestor god that it is about to collapse. This kind of thing, no one can stand it all of a sudden.If this sentence was not said by Wang Hao, even if it was said by the patriarch, I am afraid they would scoff at it and not take it to heart.

But they also understood that this matter was no small matter, if what Wang Hao said was true, staying in the cave would be no different from waiting for death.

For Wang Hao's words, Wang Hu absolutely believed, even if Wang Hao told him that two suns would appear tomorrow morning, he would still believe it.

Lifting the iron sword, Wang Hu put on a piece of animal skin and rushed outside. Wang Hao was walking to the left, so he was going to inform the people on the right.

As soon as he rushed out, Wang Hu ran back again, grabbed his pottery bowl on the bedside, and rushed into the heavy rain again.

Every time he went to a cave, Wang Hu would pass on Wang Hao's words to the tribe, and finally told the tribe that this was the instruction of the ancestor god.

The clansmen basically believed in the instructions of the ancestor gods unconditionally.Especially the patriarch, after hearing Wang Hu's words, he immediately jumped up, woke up all the clansmen in his cave, then put a piece of animal skin on each of their heads, and drove them out of the cave.

The current weather is the time when the temperature difference between cold and warm is the largest.During the day, when the sun is at its peak, those who are hot during work want to go down to the river to take a bath.And at night, if it is not wrapped in animal skins, it will be too cold to sleep.

And now, it is the time when the temperature is the lowest in the day, not to mention, it is still raining outside, and the temperature is even colder.Shocked by the icy rain, several clansmen shivered and wanted to retreat to the warm cave, but were beaten back by the clan leader with the scabbard of the Xuanyuan Sword.

People in the wilderness, if they want children, usually do so when it is about to snow.In that case, in the coming year, the child will be born when the weather is neither hot nor cold and food is more abundant.This is also a helpless choice that was forced to make under the pressure of a difficult environment.

It was about to be the lukewarm time of the year, and among the newly joined tribes in Shicun and Wangcun, those pregnant women were about to give birth.

No matter how strong a woman is, she is very fragile when she is about to give birth.A little typhoid fever may kill both mother and child.

In the pitch-black rain, it was really impossible to see. Even if the two people were standing directly opposite, they couldn't see who the other was at all.

Under the command of the patriarch, the clansmen leaned on each other and moved towards the entrance of the village by virtue of the sound connection. More than 20 pregnant women were protected in the center, followed by children and women.

Every pregnant woman is tightly wrapped with a piece of animal skin, and on top of their heads, there is another piece of animal skin supported by men to block it.Even so, each of them was still shivering from the cold.

In the darkness, people fell to the ground from time to time due to slippery feet, but no one complained of pain. They all got up quickly by themselves, and then closely followed the people in front of them.

When they arrived at the open space in the middle of the village, several men spread the hay that Wang Hao ordered to bring on the ground, but the hay had been drenched by the heavy rain just now.

Relying on the shouts, the pregnant women were surrounded from the crowd to the haystack, and all the animal skins were covered on their soaked bodies. The rest of the clansmen leaned close to them, sitting on the cold muddy ground. On the ground, I used the remaining warmth of my body to bring them a little bit of warmth.

Every clansman shivered in the icy rain.Wang Hao was also trembling, and the five little wolves found Wang Hao accurately by smelling the scent, and they were held in his arms by Wang Hao, using his body to protect them from the wind and rain.

Wang Hao's eyes were fixed on the cave in the distance, looking at the fires that were still burning, that was the only place he could see.

His mood is now complicated.He hoped that there would be a landslide on the back mountain, but he was also afraid of a landslide.

If there hadn't been a landslide in the place where they lived, then his reputation would have plummeted, and the people's trust in him would have dropped to the lowest level.No matter what he does in the future, the clansmen will question him, even if he is convinced of the right thing.

However, once landslides or mudslides really happen, the cured meat stored in the cave, the salt that was finally extracted from dozens of pots, and the hard work of the people during this period of time will definitely be destroyed. The clansmen will also lose their homes.Everything has to be started from scratch.No, everything will be more difficult than starting from scratch.

Except for the cries of a few children, no one wanted to talk, and a deep sorrow was brewing around the clansmen.

I don't know who took the lead, the clansmen sang the song of the wind.The desolate and simple singing gathered the sorrows of the tribesmen, and the momentum even suppressed the thunder in the sky.
