Chapter 52: Storm, Lightning and Thunder



Of course, Han Cheng was not communicating with the gods, but observing the celestial phenomena.

The weather today is extremely hot and humid. Even the sun in the sky seems to have melted due to the heat. Its shadow disappears from the sky.

The whole sky seemed a little dim.

It's going to rain heavily!

"Stop, it's going to rain! Go to the river and collect the fish!"

After waiting for a while, inky clouds rose in the distant sky. Han Cheng no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order.

When everyone heard that it was going to rain, they were worried that the dried fish drying by the river would get wet, so they immediately took action and rushed into the cave quickly.

When they returned to the cave entrance, the witch hurried out of the cave, ready to inform everyone that it was about to rain.

Everyone hurriedly took the pottery basins, pots, and animal skins to wrap these things and ran towards the river.

During this process, the sky had become much darker, and inky clouds covered half of the sky.

Han Cheng called out to Shi Tou and the others who were having fun catching fish with fish cages, and asked them to quickly pull the fish cages out of the water so that they could join everyone in collecting the dried fish.

The darkening sky and the blowing wind brought a great sense of oppression to everyone.

No one spoke anymore. They all quickly picked up the dried fish on the ground and threw them into the ceramic basins, pots and other containers they had brought.

Every time one was full, a strong and fast adult male primitive man would carry it and run into the cave.

The entire riverside was shrouded in silent tension.

“Crack!”

“Boom!”

Bright lightning flashed across the sky.

A deafening, hair-raising thunder suddenly exploded, and everyone looked terrified.

Compared to people in later generations, people at this time had a deeper fear of this unrivaled divine power.

The wind became stronger. After putting the last piece of half-dried fish into the jar, Han Cheng called out to everyone, who were already frightened, and ran towards the cave, holding the bottles and jars containing fish.

At this time, the entire sky was almost dark, as if night was coming!

Only when the dazzling lightning flashes across the sky can it bring terrifying light.

“Pah pah pah…”

After the thunder and lightning had built up enough momentum, the bean-sized raindrops could not wait to fall down with the violent wind, hitting the trees, the rocks, and the land...

There was a crackling sound wherever it hit.

Everyone in the tribe stopped in the cave, panting, and looked with lingering fear at the world outside the cave, which was almost completely dark due to lightning, thunder, strong winds, and raging winds.

Many children snuggled tightly in their mothers' arms, with fear in their eyes. Some of the timid ones even started crying out of fear.

Their parents were also shocked by this unusual astronomical phenomenon and were filled with fear, but they still hugged them tightly and continued to comfort them.

Strong winds and heavy rain rushed into the cave through the entrance, as if they were going to swallow up everyone in the cave.

More children were frightened and cried loudly, and even many adults were trembling and filled with fear.

The witch stood up and shouted at the eldest brother and others to block the entrance of the cave with stones.

Thick stone slabs blocked the entrance of the cave, separating the world inside the cave from the doomsday-like world outside. The sounds of wind, rain, thunder and lightning became quieter, and everyone felt a little relieved.

Under the witch's command, more firewood was added to the fire that was almost blown out just now. The flames lit up, dispelling the darkness in the cave, and everyone felt a little more at ease.

Han Cheng was not too scared. He was a little curious why God was going crazy now. Was there another unlucky person like him who touched the mural and was about to be attacked?

If that's the case, that would be great. It would be best to get those three damn foreign friends here. Don't they like to go to uninhabited places? Then come to the primitive society and experience life for a while!

The witch put on the feather crown again, held the bone staff, sang and danced in front of the totem pole, and prayed devoutly to the gods, hoping that the gods would forgive the sins of his people and extinguish the fire of thunder.

The other people in the cave were all terrified by this terrifying celestial phenomenon. At this time, they followed the witch as if they were grabbing a life-saving straw, praying to the gods devoutly and tremblingly.

However, the god did not seem to listen to their prayers. Instead of calming down, his anger became even more violent.

“Plop! Plop!”

A dull sound was heard, and the heavy stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave was blown down by the wild wind. It rolled on the ground twice before coming to a stop, like a weightless piece of paper.

Fortunately, everyone in the tribe except Han Cheng was taken by the witch to pray to the gods, so no casualties were caused.

After the stone slabs blocking the cave were blown away, strong winds rushed into the cave like crazy, blowing out the flames, sparks flew, and the cave fell into darkness.

Thunder exploded and lightning danced wildly. Everyone in the tribe was frightened and screamed, trembling and crying. They all squeezed deeper into the tribe, trying to find some sense of security.

At this time, even the wise wizard in the tribe was completely at a loss, and he was also frightened by the wrath of the gods.

"Quiet! Everybody be quiet!"

Han Cheng shouted at the chaotic crowd, but in the chaos, no one paid attention to his words.

Until outside, there was a breathtaking flash of lightning that streaked across the sky, making Han Cheng look particularly tall.

"I swear in the name of the Son of God, this is just the gods expelling some evil spirits, they will not embarrass us!

We, the Qingque tribe, work hard, use our own hands to feed ourselves, and use our labor and wisdom to create a better life. We have never been negligent in worshipping the gods.

If the gods are going to punish even a tribe like ours, then which other tribes can survive?

stand up!

Stand up!

We have done nothing wrong, so there is no need to be nervous!

I have communicated with the gods, and they will not make things difficult for our tribe!"

Han Cheng felt that he was now a complete charlatan, even more of a charlatan than a witch.

Especially the bright and dim lightning outside the cave as background lighting makes it even more convincing.

Even the wizard who was best at learning Mandarin did not fully understand what he said, and the others only got a general idea of ​​it.

But this is not important. What is important is the Son of God's gentle tone, his calm and confident posture, and his last sentence that almost everyone can understand.

The fear of the crowd was greatly reduced, and they felt much more at ease looking at the calm and holy Son of God.

Yes, there is the Son of God in our tribe, how could the gods punish our tribe?
