The orange-red bonfire reflected on the rock wall of the cave, dispelling the coldness in the cave and bringing a touch of warmth to everyone.
At the same time, Xu Hua, Bai Shangye and others took out the supplies they brought from outside and prepared to make a hot dinner.
Because they knew that Song Tiantian and the others were caught off guard and tied to the bottom of the cliff by these golden monkeys, Xu Hua and the others brought a lot of edible supplies when they went down the cliff, for fear that they would not be able to return immediately after coming down.
With the supplies brought by Xu Hua and others, Song Tiantian and the others will not starve for the time being.
But if the rain in Monkey Valley continues to fall, they will have to find a way to get some supplies back from outside.
Thinking of this, Xu Hua couldn't help but look in the direction of the cliff.
On the cliff, Lu Chuanbei and others talked to Song Tiantian and others on the phone. After confirming their current safety, they returned from the top and prepared to stay in the cabin for a few days.
But even so, Lu Chuanbei still couldn't let go of his worries.
Especially when he saw through the live broadcast that the cave where Song Tiantian and the others were staying was in danger of being flooded, Lu Chuanbei was like an ant on hot pan, and he never stopped from beginning to end.
Finally, it was only after Lu Yang received the news from Xu Hua and asked him to pack up some supplies in the cabin and prepare to put them down the cliff when the weather improved a little that Lu Chuanbei's attention was slightly diverted.
Then, the supplies in the cabin were looted, including rice, millet, red beans and other grains in the rice bucket, as well as noodles, vermicelli, and other long-lasting foods. Even the sausages and bacon on the roof and the dry goods in the cupboard were taken out.
Not only Lu Chuanbei, Fang Xiuzhu was also busy.
He took out the mushrooms that he and Tiantian had picked some time ago, the unfamiliar herbs in the bamboo basket, the steel basin and stainless steel dishes in the cupboard, and even the soft and thick quilts on the kang.
Lu Yang looked at Fang Xiuzhu, who had found several rolls of plastic wrap from somewhere and was about to wrap the quilt, and couldn't help but clear his throat.
Then I went forward to help him press the quilt, preparing to press it tighter so that there wouldn't be enough plastic wrap later...
While Lu Chuanbei and others were busy packing supplies and warm quilts, Song Tiantian and others had already drunk biscuit porridge made from compressed biscuits.
Although these compressed biscuits are not big, once they are boiled in water and swell up, they can make up a big bowl.
Song Tiantian held the lid of a military lunch box, carefully drank the hot porridge inside, and then took a bite of the braised meat that Xu Ye had heated up.
There were also noodles cooked with freeze-dried vegetables on the fire. Although the taste was not as good as those cooked with fresh ingredients, it was still very nice to have a bite of noodles cooked with vegetables at this time.
After eating, Xu Hua and his men cleaned up a dry place in the cave, set up their tent in the cave, and let Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan go in and have a good sleep in their sleeping bags.
After settling the two little guys, Xu Hua asked people to take turns resting and keeping watch in the cave.
The fire in the cave gradually dimmed because there were not enough dead branches, and only a faint glow remained that kept flickering.
Xu Hua, the first one to keep watch, couldn't help but look outside the cave when he saw the situation of the fire.
Outside the cave, the heavy rain seemed to have no end and was still falling. The cold wind was blowing through the entire Monkey Valley and heading into the cave, causing the monkeys that were climbing in the cave to rest to shrink back.
Some of them even hid in the rock cave at the top of the cave. For a moment, without anyone noticing, the number of monkeys in the entire cave suddenly decreased a lot.
However, at this moment Xu Hua was still looking outside and did not notice that the monkeys had disappeared from the cave.
After making sure that the rain outside would not stop for a while, Xu Ye stood up and went to the woods in the rain to pick up some branches that were broken by the wind.
Although the burning wet branches would produce smoke, it was still much better than the chill brought by the extinguished fire.
After making sure the fire in the fire was not extinguished, Xu Hua took off his slightly wet coat and hung it over the fire to dry. But just when Xu Hua felt like he could spend the night in peace, the sound of wind and rain outside gradually intensified.
The canal they had originally dug was filled with mud and water under the impact of the rain, and began to flow towards the cave.
Xu Hua had just switched shifts with Lou Yiqiang. Not long after he fell asleep in his still warm sleeping bag, he heard a commotion outside.
It turned out that when Lou Yiqiang saw water flowing into the cave again, he immediately took out the engineer shovel next to his backpack and started digging at the cave entrance.
But at this moment, the rain had already made the mud on the ground soft, and it fell apart as soon as it was dug. The rain was still falling, filling up the ditch that had just been dug, and continued to flow into the cave.
After a while, even the fire that Xu Hua had just reignited was mostly extinguished by the water flowing in from outside, leaving only a few scattered flames that were still barely maintaining a faint flame.
Upon seeing this, Lou Yiqiang felt something was wrong: "Oh no, I'm afraid the water can't be stopped!"
"What's going on?" Hearing the noise, Xu Hua hurriedly got out of the sleeping bag he had just laid down and looked outside the tent.
Lou Yiqiang looked at him hurriedly: "Captain Xu, the ditch we dug at the beginning was washed away by the rain, and the water is still flowing into the cave. I'm afraid this place will be flooded soon."
Hearing the sound, Bai Shangye and several other team members hurriedly put on their clothes and came out of the tent.
Bai Shangye quickly controlled the drone and inspected the outside.
Under the ultra-clear camera of the drone, the situation in Monkey Valley was clearly visible, and from the information transmitted back, not only did the heavy rain outside show no signs of stopping, but even the hot spring pool not far from the cave was overflowing due to the rain.
Because of this, the rainwater mixed with the hot spring water quickly flowed down towards the low-lying cave.
After a while, the fire, which was originally only left with a trace of flame, was completely extinguished by the rain.
Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan also woke up in a daze amid the hurried footsteps and discussions of everyone.
Before they were fully awake, Xu Hua hurriedly opened the tent, asked Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan to put on their clothes, then quickly carried them out and placed them on the stone bed in the cave before the water flooded into the tent.
On the stone bed, in addition to the injured golden monkey, there were several other golden monkeys squatting beside the injured golden monkey, using the thick hair on their backs to block the strong wind outside and bring a little warmth to the golden monkey in the middle.
After Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan were picked up, these golden monkeys did not reject them at all. They even moved their bodies to block most of the strong wind blowing towards Song Tiantian and the others.
However, this action also made Song Tiantian suddenly sober up a lot.
Song Tiantian hurriedly looked into the cave, and then she gasped in shock at the current situation.
Xu Hua and others were seen carrying searchlights, using the stone pots that Song Tiantian and others had prepared to scoop out the ankle-filled sewage from the cave.
But their speed was far slower than the speed at which the water in the cave filled up. Soon the dirty water had spread from their ankles to their calves.
The audience who clicked in after hearing the reminder that the live broadcast had started saw the cave full of sewage, which was illuminated by the searchlight and reflected waves of light.
[Hiss... What's going on... How did the water in the cave suddenly fill up so quickly? ]
[Oh no! The cave Tiantian and the others are in is flooded! Brother Xu, please hurry up and take Tiantian and the others away.]
[Leave? Where can we go in this situation? It's raining so hard outside the cave, and the wind is blowing so hard. Even if we leave, there's nowhere to stay!]
"So what should we do? We can't just wait for the water to overflow and flood the cave, right?"
"No, no, don't you see there are so many golden monkeys here? If they knew there was danger, how could they stay so calm and hide in the cave?"
[Yes, yes, yes, there must be something else in this cave... No, there seem to be fewer golden monkeys in the cave, and the white-haired golden monkey and many of the little monkeys are not in the cave anymore!]
"No way? Could it be that they sensed danger and really ran away?"
"That's impossible! Aren't Brother Xu and the others in the cave? How could they not see so many monkeys running out?"
"So what's going on now? Clearly, half of the golden snub-nosed monkeys in the cave have disappeared. If not, they've run away."
If that were the case, why did the golden monkeys on the stone bed remain in the cave and not run away?
"What else could it be? It must be because of that injured monkey that they're staying here!"
[Stop talking about the monkeys! Let's get out of the cave first! Otherwise, the water will flood over and we won't be able to run away in time!]
Just when the audience was worried about the safety of Song Tiantian and others, the system in Song Tiantian's mind, which had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: Tiantian, pay attention to the stone bed.
This voice shocked the little girl, who had never encountered such a situation before and was a little nervous. Her originally panicked expression immediately calmed down.
The little fellow hurriedly followed the system's instructions and looked towards the stone bed...
