People are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is unpredictable.
That day the sun set over the mountain, the red clouds had just faded away, and the sunset had barely peeked out, when a light rain began to fall from the sky.
A continuous autumn rain, just like every other day.
Upon seeing this, Chuanyun quickly grabbed a few broad leaves nearby, climbed up the dead wood with difficulty, and put them in the gap to prevent rainwater from intruding into the tree hole.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. She looked at the top of her head worriedly. At this moment, a strong wind roared past and swept away the leaves in an instant, leaving only a few gaps.
Chuanyun...
The dead trees lost their cover, and rainwater seeped in along the gaps and flowed down in streams, forming small water curtains, and the tree holes completely became "water curtain holes."
Chuan Yun felt dumbfounded for a moment.
"The high autumn wind roars in August and rolls up the triple thatch on my house."
Now she could completely relate to Du Fu's desolate state of mind. If she were to do reading comprehension at this moment, she would definitely get full marks.
well……
Life is not easy, Turtle sighed.
Most of the nest was already wet, so Chuanyun silently moved to the few dry places inside.
Let the storm come more violently!
It’s ruined!
She has encountered few good things since she came into this world.
He almost died in Shekou as soon as he broke out of his shell, but he managed to escape death and avoid the white-shouldered eagle. Then he found himself in a group of people who "don't care about raising children, but don't want to see young children".
As soon as it is born, it has to run for its own food, and it must always be on guard against becoming the food of other animals.
She found a "nest" and thought of settling down temporarily, but less than a day later a storm came and blew away her "hair-straw" roof.
She is too unlucky.
The only thing that is gratifying now is the speed of recovery of her "hands", which healed in just one afternoon.
That's the speed.
Outrageous!
But she was satisfied.
Chuanyun was pretty sure that what she was digging was just ordinary Houttuynia cordata, which had a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
maybe……
It is really possible that she is not an ordinary turtle, but maybe a descendant of some mythical beast boss left in this world, a baby mythical beast with the bloodline of ancient mythical beasts.
Yes, that must be the case.
Chuan Yun closed his eyes, imitating the protagonists in the fantasy novels he had read before and slowly exhaled, and began to meditate very religiously, thinking that some ancient inheritance might pop up in his mind later.
One minute passed...
The strong wind roared past my head, but there was nothing in my mind.
There is no rush, maybe there is not enough time.
She retracted her head into her shell.
Ten minutes passed...
Still nothing.
Don't worry, she must be not sincere enough.
She stuck her head out again.
An hour passed...
The dead wood floated, and she swayed on the water.
To hell with its ancient heritage~
Looking at the rain that had covered his limbs and poured into his shell, Chuanyun felt that he was more reliable.
She climbed to the entrance of the tree hole and found that the small puddles around her had been connected and turned into a small lake. Many baby turtles of the same age as her were swimming around leisurely in it, which was very pleasant.
The water level in the river has risen, from being crystal clear to becoming turbid and rapid.
The river bank was already full of turtles climbing up the bank. At a glance, big ones, small ones, old ones, and young ones were all huddled in their shells to avoid danger.
These are her current "people".
Most of them waited patiently by the river bank. They didn't go far and huddled in their shells motionless. Some didn't even bother to stretch their heads. They just waited for the rain to stop and the water level to go down, and then "divide" the territory again.
.
An autumn rain and a cold weather indicate that the cold winter is coming.
The survival resources in this area are limited and are not "divided" into territories, which means that they cannot fill their stomachs before winter comes, and there is a high chance that they will starve to death during hibernation and never wake up again after spring.
Kawaun still retains the consciousness of being a human being, so he is really unable to feed on molluscs such as snails, earthworms and slugs like other hatchlings.
She tried it right after she woke up, but she really couldn't pass the test in her heart.
She is a human being and has her own pride. Even if she becomes a turtle now, it cannot erase the fact that she was once a human being.
But if this continues, living will not be easy.
Rumble~
Muffled thunder sounded in the low sky.
It was raining heavily, and the water level in the river was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many adult turtles on the river bank were swept away before they could react, leaving only a patch of sand.
The surrounding trees were rustling, and the low mountain roar was accompanied by the roaring thunder.
This is……
A precursor to a flash flood!
With alarm bells ringing in his heart, Chuan Yun turned around and subconsciously wanted to push the remaining duck egg away.
This is a good thing to replenish energy. In this wild climate, it is the most precious food.
The moment his hand touched the smooth and delicate eggshell of the duck egg, Chuanyun gave up this idea and instead used the "top egg teeth" on the tip of his nose to crack the eggshell, put his whole head in and drank quickly.
stand up.
It is obviously a burden to run away with a duck egg, and it would be a pity to lose it.
Let’s have a full meal first!
In less than a minute, she drank until she was nine-tenths full. Then she jumped out of the tree hole and fell into the water. She paddled with her limbs unskilledly and swam out of the turbid "small lake", using all her strength to reach the higher ground.
Climbing everywhere.
Soon, she struggled to climb into the bushes under a tall tree on a slightly higher ground. When she looked back, she happened to see her "nest" being swept away by a flash flood.
Most of the adult turtles on the river bank have disappeared. Most of the ones climbing to higher ground are baby turtles and old turtles, and there are only a few adult turtles.
The river widened, and large trees with uprooted trees began to drift down. The little squirrels above were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, scurrying back and forth on the branches.
She even saw several wild boars struggling and roaring in the flood, but they were soon submerged by the turbid flood and completely silenced.
From the riverbed came sounds different from those of a locomotive, thunder, and explosions, as if the sky was shattering.
In an instant, the roars and roars of animals were everywhere.
Fortunately, she left before the flash flood.
Otherwise, it can only be one of those souls who died tragically.
Chuanyun deeply felt the powerlessness in the face of natural disasters and the fragility of life.
Before she could express her sadness, she heard a "boom" behind her, as lightning struck the nearby cliff.
What followed was a loud sound that shook the sky and the earth shook.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Hua Hua Hua..."
She saw with her own eyes that the mountain behind her was being kneaded like a cardboard box, collapsing and collapsing; every tree fell down like a small stick and broke.
It's a mudslide.
md , is it over or not?
Looking at the mudslide coming towards him at a very fast speed, Chuanyun knew that it was impossible for him to escape, so he could only shrink himself into the turtle shell as much as possible. At the moment when he was caught in the mudslide, his whole head was filled with only four thoughts.
