Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 68 The Flood Will Retreat (1)
All of a sudden, Rudama thought of the dark river. It seemed that her original guess was correct. This dark river must lead to somewhere else.If the canyon is a reservoir, then the mouth of the dark river is a drainage hole.This dark river cleverly connects this place with another place, so that the water level here is kept at a certain height.

Rudama was a little curious, how did Ye find such a geomantic treasure?

If Rudama found out, Ye really didn't bother to look for it. It was just luck that she came here by accident and settled down here. I don't know how she would feel.

Although Rudama and Ye tried to save as much as possible, the food was gone after ten days.What's next?Hibernate like a bear?This is impossible. Ye may be born and bred here to adapt to such a weather environment, but he himself cannot.Think of a way, there must be some way to find food, she doesn't believe it, a big living person can be suffocated to death by urine.

Rudama turned his head to look at Ye. At this moment, he turned into a big cat, half lying on the animal skin cushion and taking a nap.Rudama tiptoedly lifted the animal skin curtain, trying to get out of the cave.

Back then, the Red Army survived the [-]-mile Long March by eating tree bark, chewing grass roots, and boiling leather belts. Why couldn’t I follow suit?What is delicious and unpalatable is secondary, and the key is to survive.

However, before she raised her leg and stepped out of the hole, Ye Dao grabbed the animal skin robe and dragged her back.

"night?"

Isn't this guy asleep?Why do you still keep one eye on yourself?

Ye turned into a human form, frowned and said, "Don't go out!"

"I didn't want to go out, I just looked outside." By the way, see if those vines, bark and so on can be eaten.Of course, she kept the latter sentence in her heart and didn't say it.She was afraid that as soon as she said it, Ye would immediately jump into the flood to find food for herself.

Ye lay back on the mat with her arms around her.

"Sleep! Not hungry!"

Rudama looked at Ye with some admiration. A guy like him who eats a lot can actually endure hunger and fall asleep. It should be the result of long-term exercise.Come to think of it, before he met himself, he didn’t know how to use fire at night, and he was even afraid of fire, and he didn’t know how to store food. He couldn’t catch food in days like winter when there was heavy snow and floods like now It's all spent like this.Therefore, before the bad weather comes, he will work hard to eat and store up fat to help himself through this difficult time.

But she can't do it herself, she is the kind of person who is super afraid of being hungry.It turned out that my roommate lost weight, only ate two apples a day, and went to bed when she couldn’t bear the hunger, saying that she didn’t know she was hungry when she fell asleep. Rudama would always look up at her with admiring eyes.Because she is the kind of person who wakes up hungry when she falls asleep, and can only fall asleep again when she is full.It is a fantasy for her to fall asleep and not be hungry.

Feeling that the night lying beside her made her breathing longer, Rudama gently took the thick arm around her waist, got up, and continued her unfulfilled plan.

The animal skin curtain at the entrance of the cave was lifted, and before Rudama probed, a black shadow descended from the sky. With a "bang", it slammed heavily on the platform outside the cave.

Rudama was taken aback. If he had stretched his head earlier, he would have died.After concentrating, I saw clearly that the black thing was the corpse of a wild boar.It was washed down by the flood from the top of the cliff.Although it's hard to see in the rain, its fur doesn't seem to have any signs of decay.

Just when Rudama was hesitating whether to drag this guy back to the cave, Ye didn't know when, standing behind her, startled her.Presumably, with his sensitive hearing, he must have heard the sound of the wild boar carcass falling.

"night?"

Rudama was not sure whether to bring this wild boar in, she was afraid that this guy would be infected with the disease if he died for a long time.However, if this guy died just now, if he didn't get in, wouldn't it be a waste of the food delivered to him.

Ye didn't say anything, he pulled Rudama into the hole, and he got out.

Rudama stood on the platform at night, looked at the wild boar over and over against the pouring rain, and then began the skillful skinning work.

Rudama hurried back to the cave to boil hot water.One is to prepare to come in next night to wipe the body, and the other is to boil the wild boar in salt water for preservation.

Ye is very picky about meat, and Rudama is very relieved about this. If the wild boar's body had been dead for too long, Ye would definitely throw it into the flood without saying a word, even if he was hungry.

Not long after, Ye came in, drenched all over, carrying the packed wild pork.

Rudama had already mixed warm water and asked him to scrub, while he added a few tablespoons of salt to the boiling hot water, and then put the wild boar in it to cook.

This pig is very big, and Rudama divides it into several pots to cook all the pork. She adds a lot of salt, one is for preservation, and the other is that if it is salty, it will eat less and drink more water .In this way, you can drink a lot of water without eating a few pieces of meat.It's a pity that there is no oil, otherwise the meat would be more filling if fried in oil.

Looking at the salted pork, Rudama made a plan. If she and Ye Xing save it, they can eat it for four or five days.

In this way, after being out of food for two days, Rudama and Ye were lucky enough to eat meat again.

With food, Ye started to "hunger strike" again, but was successfully "suppressed" by Rudama's tearful offensive.

After six days, they had no food left.

Rudama lifted the animal skin curtain again. This was the seventh time she looked out today, but nothing fell out.Rudama felt a little dazed.

Ever since a wild boar rushed down from the top of the cliff last time, Rudama realized that he was a bit like that fool who "waited for the rabbit".Every day I look forward to something edible that will come down from the top.

The rain was a bit light, but Rudama couldn't be happy. This didn't solve their food shortage problem.There were many floating corpses floating on the water, all of which were animals drowned by the flood caused by the rainstorm.

Rudama found something very strange. Although these corpses had been soaked in water for several days, they were not so rotten to the bone. At most, their stomachs were bloated and their bodies were swollen.Is there any mystery about this flood?It will never be worse than the acid rain in my original world!

She lifted the curtain and poked her head, trying to figure out why.

"Dharma? Dharma?"

Seeing her frowning at night, she stood at the entrance of the cave for a long time, trying to pull her in.

"Night! Look, what is that?"

Rudama clasped Ye Shen's big palm with his backhand and asked him to look into the flood not far away.

The corpse of a staghorn sheep floated up and down in the flood, as if being pulled by something, then suddenly sank into the water, and when it floated up again after a few breaths, half of the carcass, which was originally considered complete, had turned into white bones.
