Chapter 42
After a long time, Xia Dashan smiled mischievously: "Although I can't hunt it, it doesn't affect our eating."

Zhou Huiniang followed her daughter's line of sight and saw the black spot, and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Xia Huai helped her forehead helplessly: "It's a wild goose."

"Can wild geese catch pheasants?" She clearly remembered that only eagles are carnivores. Why did wild geese catch pheasants?

"I guess I'm hungry, and I want to exchange some food with us." Xia Huai turned around and said, "I'll go grab some millet for it."

Zhou Huiniang wanted to say that she didn't have much food in her family, but seeing the two or three catties of pheasants flopping on the ground, she swallowed her words again.You can't eat other people's things for nothing, right?Anyway, I earned it myself!

Xia Huai naturally knew what the geese wanted, she just pretended to grab grain, but actually grabbed a handful of millet from the space.

Walking to the edge of the cave, he waved at the black dot in the sky. That guy was very smart. Just now, Xia Dashan and his wife kept calling it, but it seemed like it couldn't understand.As a result, Xia Huai waved her hand, and it swooped down immediately.

Xia Dashan: "." This wild goose must be male!

Seeing this, Zhou Huiniang felt a little thoughtful, and looked at her daughter with a little more inquiring eyes.

Xia Huai squatted while feeding the wild geese, and at the same time tried to touch the wild goose's feathers, which were a little wet.

The torrential rain has hardly stopped in the past few days, and it will stop for about an hour every two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it will come back again in the evening.

This wild goose is quite smart, and knows to take advantage of the rain to find her to exchange things.Just, how did it find them?

She could feel someone staring at her behind her, either her mother or her father, and she wanted to keep it a secret, but there were many things that were fine if she didn't think about them or look at them carefully.But once you notice a little clue, you will leave a trace.If you want others to not know, unless you do nothing.

But it is impossible for her to watch her family suffer, especially since she clearly has the ability to make her family live well.

Let the family guess.In any case, they would not have guessed it, at most they would classify these weird things as luck, affinity and the like.

Probably because they were full, the geese were obedient this time.He squinted his eyes to let Xia Huai touch its feathers, and made a comfortable 'click' from time to time.

"Why don't you bring it in and warm it?" Zhou Huiniang couldn't help but said.

Xia Huai stretched out his hands tentatively, and the wild goose turned its round eyes as if thinking, and twisted Xia Huai's palm.

At this moment, Xue Tuan was lying beside the fire, and when he heard the movement, he moved his ears, opened his eyes lazily, glanced at the dusty wild goose, closed them again, and then opened them suddenly.

Xuetuan jumped up suddenly, gritted his teeth and made a warning 'hiss' sound towards the wild goose.

Dayan turned his head in confusion and looked at Xia Huai innocently.

"Xuetuan, sit down and let him play with you for a while."

Xuetuan cooed angrily, it didn't want to play with this dirty thing!
The wild goose who was attacked because of the color of his coat was very wronged: "Gah!" I am not dirty, I take a bath every day!
Seeing that a rabbit and a goose were about to explode, Xia Huai stood between them and forbade them from fighting.

Finally, the geese's feathers dried up, but it couldn't go away. The rain outside suddenly came, although it came earlier than usual, but everyone thought it would be the same as before, and the rain would stop for an hour every day.

Unexpectedly, this time, it went down continuously for three days and three nights without stopping for a moment!
Wang Tieniu looked at the rain outside sadly: "Outside, hey, I don't know what's going on outside."

The sigh floated farther and farther along the heavy rain.At this time, within a radius of thousands of miles, there were starvation and devastation everywhere.

Many people stopped halfway, unable to walk.Hungry, cold, tired and helpless, the road ahead is long, and the rain is still raining at a glance.

Finally, someone couldn't hold on anymore, and his body went limp and he fell into the rain, unable to get up again.After a few days, the whole person floated up bloatedly, beyond recognition, even relatives could not recognize it.

There are too many people like this, and too many people have died.People who may be walking accidentally stepped on, touched, tripped, fell into the water, and looked at the corpse in the muddy rain.

Howling, shouting, crying, beating and scolding.

It's just a helpless struggle.

"My lord, there are floating corpses outside the gates of the city. It's not good to go on like this. Should we salvage them?"

The county magistrate of Lin'an County kept frowning tightly, and waved his hands: "Whatever they do, the rain will wash them away sooner or later! Open the city gate now, don't we wait for them to rush in?"

The master couldn't help persuading: "Master, if we are infected with the plague, I'm afraid our county will be questioned by the higher authorities."

The county magistrate thumped, his heart was cold, he actually forgot about it!
"Hurry up and send someone to clean it up!" the county magistrate yelled.

It's a pity that it was still too late. The corpse was soaked for many days, and floated to the surface for a few more days.The rain has never stopped, and some viruses have long been drifting to various places through the current.

Three days later, the rain finally stopped.

"Has the rain really stopped?" Xia Dashan went outside the cave to look at the sky.

I saw that the sky was no longer covered by dark clouds, but a little blue, and if we were lucky, we might even see a rainbow.

"It's been half a month, so it's time to stop." Zhou Huiniang let out a foul breath and waved to the people in the cave: "Come out and get some air."

Liu Qingyun couldn't help being happy: "The rain stopped, can we go to Huating County?" Originally, she didn't have a cold for Huating County, and thought it was too far away.But during the days in the cave, although I was not thirsty or hungry, I couldn't get out of the cave.There is water when you leave the cave. Staying in the cave is safe, but it is also depressing, making people breathless, and can't help but feel depressed.

Wang Tieniu nodded: "I think I'm almost fine, and Shuyu is much better."

Xia Dashan naturally knew that everyone was eager to leave, but...
"We have to be prepared before we go. The accumulated water on the ground will take a few days to clear." If we don't prepare anything, if we go on the road now, we will die?

Xia Huai nodded approvingly: "Yes, we need to prepare more food. I think the weather will heat up again, let's go hunting and make some bacon and jerky."

"It will still be hot? It shouldn't be as hot as before it rained, right?" Liu Qingyun couldn't help asking.

Xia Huai was silent, she suddenly remembered the painting in the space, she felt that things were not that simple, maybe she had to find time to take a closer look at the painting.

"Xiaohuai is right, not only food needs to be prepared, but also water. If only our mule cart can come back, hey! I will make two carts these days."

Speaking of the mule cart, Xia Huai also kind of missed the mule she bought, it was young, handsome, and obedient!
Sighing, everyone returned to the cave again.

The water outside has not yet receded, and it will take two or three days to come in and out freely.

 Thank you [Tea] for voting for the monthly ticket~ It is still a day for everyone to interact with Xiaoyu and encourage Xiaoyu!
