Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 69 The Flood Will Retreat (2)
There are monsters in the water!

This was the first thought that flashed into Rudama's mind, and then he felt that he had watched too many science fiction films, which was too unreliable.

snake?Python?

No, if it is a snake, the way they eat will swallow the food directly into the stomach without biting.

So, could it be an oil turtle?
This is very possible.

If so, does it mean that she and Ye have something to eat again?

Although the food was greasy and unpalatable, it was better to have something than to be hungry.

However, what tool to use to catch is a problem.

She has a net, but what about the bait?What is bait?
For carnivores, the best bait is gore.

But where does the blood come from?Rudama didn't want to "mutilate himself", let alone "mutilate" Ye.

Eh... She suddenly remembered that she hadn't thrown away the animal skin apron that was splashed with blood when she was cleaning up the wild boar that fell from the sky a few nights ago, so she wondered if it would be useful.

Rudama lowered the curtain and ran back to the cave to find Ye's animal skin apron and fishing net.

Standing by the side at night, he was in a daze.

Rudama tied the bloody apron firmly with a thick and long animal skin rope, so that when it was thrown into the water, it could be held and prevented from being washed away by the flood.Then, he stuffed the fishing net into Ye's hand and told him that if he saw splashes in the water later, he would cast the net.

Ye Mu nodded in a daze, and followed her out.

The two stood on the platform against the heavy rain, and Rudama grabbed a tree trunk growing sloping from the cliff to stabilize himself.She was still a little worried, if it was a monster or something, she would drag herself into the water to eat.

Tell the night "Get ready!"

Then, she threw in the blood-stained animal skin apron.

As expected by Rudama, water splashed around the animal skin apron.

Ye Fei quickly threw the fishing net down.

After pulling up the net, Rudama could see clearly that there were more than a dozen half-foot-long fish in the net.They are struggling in the fishing net, opening and closing their mouths, revealing sharp teeth. The scales on their bodies are small and dense, their belly is red, and their back is green.

This was clearly the appearance of a red-bellied piranha she had seen before.Where do they come from?Rudama was extremely sure that there were no such fish in the creek in the canyon, otherwise he and Ye would have been bitten to death by them countless times.Then, it is very likely that they came from other rivers with the flood...

Rudama, who asked and answered by himself, was stuffed back into the cave by Ye Ye.And he stood on the platform, took out the fish in the net one by one and smashed them to death, and then cleaned the scales and internal organs of the fish.

Rudama, who regained his composure, began to boil water. It is said that the meat of the piranha is very delicious.

Not long after, Ye brought in the packed piranhas.

Soon, the two of them had a delicious meal.

Rudama once again affirmed that it is a very happy thing to be able to have enough food!

In the following days, she and Ye lived a life of having fish to eat.

Rudama discovered that these piranha-like fish are very vicious, as long as something falls into the flood, they will quickly swim up from the bottom of the water and take a few bites.In this way, she doesn't need to worry about the bait any more, but her fishing net is often bitten by their sharp teeth, and she has to mend the fishing net every two days.

On this day, Rudama sat by the brazier and mended the fishnet by the light. Ye came over, took the fishnet aside, and handed him the freshly grilled fish.

"Dama, good!"

Rudama looked up at him, took the grilled fish without hesitation, and began to chew.

Complacent: good!Of course I'm fine, without me, you would still be sleeping in the cave hungry.

"Ye, have you ever seen such a fish before?"

Ye listened and shook his head.

never seen it?
Rudama frowned, she was always curious where these vicious little guys came from.Was it there before, or did it just pop up this year?If they appear every year during heavy rains, they will also return to their original habitat after the flood water recedes.But if they appear suddenly this year, will they settle down in the creek after the flood recedes?In that case, her and Ye's life would be troubled.

However, Rudama found that asking about Ye was also asking for nothing.

One is, before meeting her, Ye had never eaten fish at all, so he didn't care if he thought about it.

Besides, there was no place to hunt for food after the flood rose, and according to the habit of this fellow, he must sleep in the hole with the cat to get through this nasty rainy season.

Rudama stopped thinking about the question without getting an answer.

As the days passed, the rain became smaller and smaller. When Rudama's Wilderness Chronicle reached 230 seven days in summer, the protracted heavy rain finally stopped.

When the clouds cleared and the first rays of sunlight appeared among the treetops, Rudama thought she saw an angel smiling.

It will take some time until the flood recedes.Rudama and Ye can only cat in the cave.

And these days, the piranhas that she and Ye depended on for survival disappeared inexplicably.

where it goes?

Another string of question marks appeared in Rudama's curious baby's head.

With the piranhas gone, Rudama and Ye began to face the problem of hunger again.

Fortunately, after experiencing food shortages twice, Rudama kept a cautious eye. Every time she caught more fish, she kept them in large wooden barrels.There are a lot of them, excluding the amount consumed by killing each other when they are hungry, they should be able to carry them for five or six days. At that time, even if the flood has not receded completely, they should be able to go out.

When the sky stopped raining, Rudama found that their problem came again.

If there is no food, the bark can be eaten, but what if there is no water?
When it rains, they can drink rainwater. The air in this world is clean, and the rainwater is also clear and pollution-free. It can be drunk by boiling it.

But now, the rain is gone, and there is only a dirty flood with floating corpses in front of us.Without a microscope, Rudama can imagine with his toes that there must be many larvae and schistosomes carrying pathogens in the water at this time...

Just thinking about it gave Rudama goosebumps.If you drink these things into your stomach...

Uh……

Rudama wanted to die already.

Find a way.

Rudama sat by the brazier, leaning on his chin, with a sad expression on his face.

At this time, Yezheng was flooding in from outside, ready to heat up and drink.

Looking at Ye's natural movements, he thought, he used to drink this kind of water at this time.He has also lived in good health for these years, so can he drink it too?
