As long as you think quickly, there will always be a solution.
Considering the possibility of rain, Zhang Liu did not think he needed to fill up the small clay jar.
Being able to do this twice and with a 60% chance of not raining, it's already a blessing from God.
The speed of running was naturally faster than Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang's walking speed, so Zhang Liu quickly caught up with the two sisters who were walking and talking and laughing. Then he slowed down his pace, and the three of them returned to the bamboo house together.
Pouring water into the small clay jar, Zhang Liu was just about to make the second move when the sky began to change from faintly glowing to gradually dimming.
The overall visibility dropped to about one hundred meters.
Standing outside at this moment, Zhang Liu could no longer see the bamboo forest about two hundred meters away as he could on sunny days.
No matter how hard he tried, he could only catch a glimpse of a blurry green color.
Moreover, the wind blowing in the air also carried a special "watery smell". Based on his own experience, Zhang Liu judged that this was definitely a sign of an impending rainstorm.
He dropped the empty sheepskin bag in his hand.
It was certain that it was going to rain, so there was no time or need to worry about the water.
He, Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang began to move all the firewood piled nearby into the house.
Fortunately, the bamboo house has a lot of space.
After enough firewood to burn for three days was piled in, it only occupied the space in the front left.
After the three of them put the dried mutton and other things hanging for roasting into the bamboo house.
The wind also began to gradually grow stronger at this moment.
I felt the strong wind blowing in from the door.
Zhang Liu couldn't help but frowned.
He felt that the situation was beyond his expectations.
When building the fence outside, you should have made a door first!
When designing the bamboo house, I didn’t have enough experience.
So Zhang Liu only considered that rainwater would leak in from the roof, and then made the house open to the south.
In this way, the strong winds from the east and west will be largely eliminated by the mountains in the west and the goat bush in the east.
In his mind, there were already protruding rain-proof parts on both sides.
With the wind weakened by the bamboo forest and goat jungle, there was no reason for rain to get in.
And the situation inside the house now proves this point.
The bamboo forest on the mountain was rustling in the wind, but the main direction of the wind inside the bamboo house was the strong wind blowing in from the door.
But right now the wind blowing in from the south is really too terrifying.
The bonfire, which has now been moved inside the house, was initially burned in the stove in front of the fence.
Therefore, there is still a lot of red charcoal in the stove on the fence at the door.
Under normal circumstances, this reddish charcoal will burn out on its own after half a day and does not require any attention.
But now a strong wind suddenly blew outside.
Even though there was a clay stove in front, a few pieces of charcoal were still blown directly into the house.
And it blew right towards the three of them.
Zhang Liu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly stepped forward and used his body to block the five or six pieces of charcoal, and then brushed them off his body with his hands.
The burning sensation on his skin made him frown immediately.
But the strong wind did not stop because Zhang Liu was burned.
The charcoal that he had slapped away floated in the air and was blown onto the wall.
And with the collision, it shattered, turning into sparks that rolled all over the floor of the house.
Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang both exclaimed and began to step on the rolling red sparks.
Neither of them noticed as they were worried that sparks would ignite the firewood in the house.
As the wind outside intensified, the other charcoal in the bonfire on the fence began to tremble continuously, showing signs of being blown into the bamboo house.
Section 1#Volume 2 A stable food source is the first step to development: Chapter 252 The boy who held back (Today's monthly ticket plus the second chapter)
Zhang Liu, who was just picking up a small clay basin and dipping his hands into the water to massage the burned area, saw this scene.
With quick eyes and hands, he used the water in a small clay basin to completely extinguish the remaining charcoal in the campfire at the entrance.
A deep pit was specially dug for the stove in the house, and then the main body of the stove was built outside with mud.
And there is a wall blocking the stove.
So even if the wind outside gets stronger, the flames will float, but the firewood burning in the pit will continue to burn steadily and provide lighting.
The last spark rolling on the ground was stomped out by Qin Ruoshuang.
The situation inside the bamboo house finally calmed down a little.
At this moment, Zhang Liu was sure that he was injured.
Just now he blocked the burning charcoal that was blowing in from the front for the two girls.
The result was that the chest, arms, and palms were all burned by the hot charcoal.
Applying some cool water to it with your fingers will only have a soothing effect at best.
Faced with the two girls' questions, Zhang Liu could only endure the pain from his wounds and said that he was fine.
He knew that what he had to do now was to stabilize the mentality of the three people.
However, feeling this scene, Zhang Liu's brain was slightly numb. He had never thought that the strong wind just as an advance signal would be so terrifying before the rainstorm came.
The worst thing is that with the strong wind and darkness at present, I cannot light a fire in the big house to provide lighting.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu felt confused, but he was also thinking about what he should do next.
Behind Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan, who had experienced being attacked by hungry wolves on rainy days, was actually a little afraid of rainy days like this.
Before the accident just now, she could still use Zhang Liu's presence and the guarantee of safety as an excuse to reassure herself.
But at this moment, I could feel the strong wind blowing in from the door, which was getting stronger and stronger.
After experiencing the charcoal fire attack farce, Qin Ruoyan's body was already shaking slightly.
She was really scared of what else she would encounter in this storm.
"Sister?" Qin Ruoshuang felt that her sister was in a bad mood.
She quickly held the other person's palm and tried to help him sit down.
Feeling the coolness coming from her palms, Qin Ruoshuang asked worriedly, "Why are your hands so cold?"
"I'm more afraid of this situation." Qin Ruoyan took a breath, then forced a smile to her sister and said, "It's okay, it will be fine when the rain stops."
Winds are formed when warm and cold currents meet.
When the wind blows, it is a process in which warm currents and cold currents are fully compatible.
Raindrops are formed in this process.
When the wind is not strong enough to carry the raindrops, the raindrops muffle the sound of the wind and then the rain falls.
Ignoring the conversation between the two sisters in the bamboo house, Zhang Liu was silently recalling the contents of the geography class in his mind. With the help of this method, his anxious mood gradually calmed down.
At present, the sound of the wind is still in a "whistling and sharp" state, so it will take some time before it rains.
It is useless to have a confused mind and a messy heart. You have to use all the resources around you to find ways to solve the problem.
Taking another deep breath, Zhang Liu restored himself to a state where he could remain calm in the face of danger.
He first hugged Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang, whose bodies were trembling slightly, and whispered, "It's okay. We are hiding in the house now. There is still fire, and the rain can't get in."
Zhang Liu's action also helped Qin Ruoyan, who was afraid of the sudden change in climate, to calm down a little.
"Zhang Liu..." Qin Ruoyan hugged the man in front of her with her backhand, her voice already filled with tears: "I'm so scared... There won't be wolves..."
"It's okay. Don't be afraid of wolves. I will protect you."
"Sister, we have fire now, the wolves won't dare to come in!"
Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoshuang tried to comfort her.
This time Qin Ruoshuang did not compete with her sister for Zhang Liu's hug.
Instead, she slightly broke free from the other person's arms and hugged her sister.
Qin Ruoshuang tried to transfer the heat from her body into this somewhat cold body in this way.
At the same time, it seemed that God was taking pity on Zhang Liu and the other people in distress.
Although the strong wind was terrible, it seemed to blow away the crowded clouds in the sky, so that the whole sky changed from the previous pitch black scene to a slightly bright light again.
Looking from the door, visibility has obviously improved a lot.
Light can bring people a sense of peace.
And the wind gradually died down.
As the light inside the house changed and the wind pressure outside decreased, the mood of the three people all improved.
"It will probably take a long time before it rains." Feeling Qin Ruoyan's breathing gradually calm down, Zhang Liu said softly: "There are two things you need to do now."
"What's the matter?" Qin Ruoyan's voice was still filled with tears, with her head tucked into Zhang Liu's arms.
The changes in the situation outside were very similar to the feeling she had when she was attacked by a hungry wolf and had to face it alone.
So now Qin Ruoyan just wants to hide in Zhang Liu's arms.
"First, Ruoyan, move all the firewood to the front of the bonfire, pile the big ones in the front, put the medium ones in the middle, and stick the small ones in the ground to form a small windbreak. This way, if the wind blows again, even if we burn a big pile, sparks won't fly around."
"Ruoshuang, you are responsible for helping, and then make lunch. I'm going to go outside to fix the door."
After briefly explaining the arrangements, he broke away from Qin Ruoyan's embrace.
Turning around, he completely pulled up the curtain cloth that was lying on the bed, then bent down to pick up the machete on the ground. Zhang Liu turned his head to look at Qin Ruoyan, who was standing there with an aggrieved expression on her face.
Feeling that the other party was a little frustrated, he also showed a very serious expression and said: "Ruoyan, I believe you can do it. When encountering difficulties, what we should do is to break through ourselves, instead of retreating in fear!"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the man in front of me, listening to the exciting words he said.
Qin Ruoyan, who had just felt a little aggrieved that the other party did not continue to persuade her, suddenly felt a strong courage in her heart.
She began to work on the woodpile.
Next to Qin Ruoyan was Qin Ruoshuang who was helping her.
The pile of firewood was quickly moved, although Zhang Liu was talking about branches.
But the thinnest of these branches is only one and a half fingers thick.
So it is quite simple to insert it all into the soil.
Soon, a windbreak wall made of half a meter long branches stood in front of the stove.
At the moment, only a gentle breeze was blowing into the bamboo house.
So the two sisters made the fire bigger. With lighting, everything became much easier.
Qin Ruoyan sat on the ground and looked at it with relief. She needed to adjust her mental state.
Qin Ruoshuang poured all the water in the bottle into a small clay basin, and then placed the basin over the fire.
She was going to boil some water first. Although the three of them had been busy for a long time, they hadn't had any water for the entire morning.
At the same time, Xiang Wanying and six others who had set out on the journey in the morning had already arrived at the Green Pool Shelter.
Several people had also experienced the strong wind just now, and they were still a little scared at this moment.
There are currently two choices before them.
Should I continue on my way to the bamboo house, or stay here to avoid the rain?
