Before, there was Da Wa, and he had thought of many things about the Xia family in advance.
In fact, the eldest child is the kind of person who is bold and careful. Xia Manni didn't lie down because she knew that the children were not ordinary.
But Wu Dayong is indeed a very impatient person.
Rather than being impatient, it would be better to say that he is a person who looks ahead and is good at planning.
This is indeed very consistent with Da Wa.
"Mom, you can't think like that. If there's drought, there's flood."
"Yes, Madam Xia, it's ok for you to just joke around normally, but you should be more considerate at times like this."
Erwa nodded: "Dawa and Uncle Dayong are right."
Sanwa and Sinier also agreed very much.
Xia Manni: Okay...
So, under the leadership of Wu Dayong and Dawa, the six people in the cave began to go out early and return late.
Sometimes you would encounter people fleeing famine going up the mountain.
Xia Manni was experienced, so she went up and asked where to find water.
Some would tell her enthusiastically, while others would ignore her. In short, no one felt that they were people with a place to stay.
Wu Dayong took them to chop wood and clean up the animals in the traps, and this time they actually caught a fawn.
Big Brother took them to pick various wild fruits and vegetables.
It is now the end of September, which is autumn.
The wild fruits and vegetables that had dried up due to the drought miraculously emerged this time.
In just a few days, many of them have already borne fruit.
The weather is also getting cooler.
In the morning and evening, there will be dew when walking in the mountains.
Just for bamboo shoots, Da Wa led them to cut several baskets.
Xia Manni thought about stopping them. Although she knew the weather was a little unusual, she felt like Da Wa and Wu Dayong were competing.
The second and third children would sometimes follow Wu Dayong, and sometimes follow the eldest child.
Only Si Ni'er was looking for herbs.
I also found a lot of mushrooms.
Xia Manni was also ignited by these people, and she started to make bacon and smoked meat.
Collect all the things in the cave, dry them if you can, and cut them if you can.
Late one night, Xia Manni got up and went back to the cave.
There was a muffled thunder outside.
The thunder became so loud in the cave that everyone woke up.
Xia Manni comforted Sanwa and Sinier, but not long after, it started raining outside.
The rain is not heavy, but why does the sound of the rain seem a little strange?
“Knock, knock, knock…”
It seemed like something was knocking on the cave, and the thing fell on the ground outside with a thud.
Wu Dayong hurried out to check, and at this time the cave was already lit with oil lamps and torches.
When Wu Dayong came back, he had a translucent snowball the size of an egg in his hand.
Big Baby: “What is this?”
Wu Dayong: "Hail."
Hail is caused by large temperature differences.
Perhaps the high temperature here had accumulated too much before, and the sudden drop in temperature caused hail.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Wu Dayong, Xia Manni and Dawa, each carrying a basin, began to clean up the things outside that had not been put away in time.
Fortunately, Xia Manni has the habit of putting away the things that are hung outside every day.
Gradually, the thudding sounds outside disappeared, and behind them was a continuous drizzle.
What Xia Manni was thinking about was whether there would be water accumulation here.
"Don't worry, the terrain here is higher than the rocks outside. I'll move some rocks to use as a door at daybreak."
The people in the cave at the back couldn't fall asleep, so Da Wa asked everyone to sit together and said they wanted to have a meeting.
"You know how to hold a meeting at such a young age?"
Wu Dayong smiled and said that he had been getting along with the children of the Xia family these days and found that they knew quite a lot.
Especially the eldest son, he knows as much as he does.
Erwa: "When we were in Shizai Village, Mom asked us to attend a meeting one day each."
Erwa has been very attentive to Wu Dayong recently because he wants to take Wu Dayong as his teacher.
But Wu Dayong neither agreed nor refused, and kept saying that he would wait until the second child grew up.
So whenever Erwa found an opportunity, he would show off in front of Wu Dayong.
Da Wa is different. He always feels that Uncle Dayong might have a crush on Xia Manni.
He has read a lot of books and is the eldest in the family. Although he is not clear about the relationships between some adults, it is normal for others to like him since his mother is so good.
But he didn't want his mother to stay here.
So among the children, Da Wa is the least positive in his attitude towards Wu Dayong.
As for Wu Dayong, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he is always closest to Da Wa.
Xia Manni lit some broken firewood and put it in the firewood basin to keep everyone warm.
The temperature in the mountains is already low, let alone when it rains.
Xia Manni didn't speak much in this meeting, while Wu Dayong and the children expressed their opinions.
After listening to this, Xia Manni understood that they had to be prepared for the rain to last for a long time.
At present, they have enough firewood and food, but not enough clothes, after all, they used to wear short-sleeved shirts.
Also, there is no door in the cave, so even if you put stones in it, it cannot be sealed too tightly.
Xia Manni: "As for the clothes, I have some clothes and fabrics I got from the village. Si Ni'er and I will make some alterations for you. As for the door, I bought some oilcloth..."
Wu Dayong: "This is good. The oilcloth can be used as a door curtain."
In the end, they unanimously agreed, but they didn't know how long the rain would last. If they didn't leave the cave, the food they had saved would only last until the New Year.
Wouldn’t it be sunny by then?
Everyone had this doubt, even those who were hiding from the rain at the foot of the mountain.
No one, including the princes fighting in the south, took the rain seriously.
Because the rain is not really heavy.
It wasn't until the continuous drizzle lasted for half a month that people finally started to think about what to do if it continued to rain.
Wu Dayong: "Did someone leak this information?"
Xia Manni couldn't help but think of the situation when she prayed for rain in Shizai Village, and wondered how those villagers were doing.
At this time, Shizai Village had been destroyed by war, and those who did not escape the famine and stayed in the village died in the fighting between several armies.
Those who fled famine were also taking shelter from the rain in the mountains near Xia Manni.
Even Liu Miaoyan, who was far away in Jin'an, kept sighing, wondering why the rain didn't stop.
I couldn't help but worry about the wood that I couldn't find, and Xia Manni who I hadn't seen for several months.
At this time, Xia Manni was following Wu Dayong to clean up the cave. The cave was made of stone and would not leak.
This is a good thing.
But the cave is indeed cool.
Make a door for the cave, cover the cave with a 'carpet', and sort the food into categories.
As for water, it rains every day, who would worry about having no water to drink?
Thinking back to the drought six months ago, it feels like a dream.
Just when people were accepting the light rain as if it were a drought, the rain suddenly stopped.
Wu Dayong took the children out for some fresh air. Everyone was feeling a little gloomy, wishing they could just stay outside.
Unexpectedly, the day was sunny for only half a day and it started to rain again.
But this time the rain is no worse than before.
