Chapter 43 Prepare for the rescue

Has the rain stopped?

In the cave, Fang Yu was refreshed.

I was trapped in the cave for more than a week due to the heavy rain.

Fang Yu has a high tolerance for dirt, but not so much for greasiness.

Excessive moisture will make people feel sticky and greasy on the surface of the skin. Plus there are fleas and other things on the body from time to time, which is really a mental torture.

Although Fang Yu is not intolerable, it will make people uncomfortable after all, so naturally it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Fang Yu got up from the plank bed. After getting up, the creaking sounds and vibrations woke up Fang Sanduo and the two of them.

After waking up, the two of them were suddenly startled by the absence of the familiar sound of rain, and then looked outside the cave.

"The rain has stopped?"

Huang Mei blurted out.

Fang Yu nodded and said to the two of them.

"It seems to have stopped. I'll go out and take a look."

With that said, Fang Yu came to the fence door and first looked outside the cave to make sure there were no poisonous snakes nesting outside the cave. Then she opened the fence door and skillfully used the two wooden sticks next to it to kill the earthworms and frogs on the ground outside.

Clamp it into a small pit in the hole and cover it with a wooden lid to prevent them from climbing out.

Then, use another wooden stick to crush other inedible bugs outside one by one and sweep them aside.

Finally walked out of the cave.

After stepping out of the cave, Fang Yu felt as if she had jumped from a box into the universe.

Without the annoying rainstorm, the viewing angle was so clear that Fang Yu could even see the reflection in the puddle in the distance.

After the "tick-tock", "crash" and "plop-plop" sounds in my ears that seemed to be dancing on my nerves, the whole world seemed to have become quiet.

The boundless blue sky gave Fang Yu the urge to shout.

But in the end I endured it.

It's better to keep a low profile now.

Fang Yu held back the roar, but Fang Yu couldn't hold back her desire to run.

In short, although Fang Yu had only been in the cave for more than a week, it felt like a month.

Human beings' concept of time sometimes also depends on space.

The smaller the space we are in, the more human beings can feel the passage of time, and every minute and second will be so obvious.

The wider the space, the easier it is for humans to lose the sense of time, such as in places like deserts.

In modern times, this symptom has a more popular name.

Claustrophobia.

That's it.

Fang Yu was like a monkey just released from Wuzhi Mountain, running wildly in the forest. Even though he almost slipped because of it, it still didn't stop him.

I ran all the way down the mountain and came to the "Yellow River".

At this time, the water level of this "Yellow River" has dropped a lot, but by comparison, the depth of this river is at least seven or eight meters deep, and the river is full of silt and undercurrents. If it sinks in, it will take a few minutes.

Float up.

Of course, the one facing down.

However, Fang Yu and others have no intention of competing with this river.

When the rain stopped, they could leave from the back mountain.

But it depends on whether to go back or forward.

It’s inevitable to continue wandering anyway~

At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly noticed that on the top of a hill opposite, there were wisps of smoke like cooking smoke floating up in the sky, and finally dissipated into the sky.

That wisp of black and gray smoke was still quite conspicuous under the clear blue sky, even at dawn.

Because there is only one flaw in the entire clear blue sky, just like a touch of red appearing in an ink painting.

babble?

Fang Yu thought of last night's mission.

Opening the mission and looking at it, and then at the wisp of green smoke, Fang Yu was 80% sure that the opposite side was his mission target.

Moreover, the time for this mission is very tight. The blue bar representing time has now been consumed a lot. Through comparison, Fang Yu found that this time is only 24 hours!

In other words, this task only exists for a maximum of 24 hours, after which it will be considered invalid or failed.

The result of failure is that either the refugees are gone or they have been rescued.

But look at this "little island" in the middle of the river.

Fang Yu estimated that the former one was more likely.

"Tsk..."

Fang Yu clicked her tongue and touched her chin with her hand.

He also didn't expect that he would discover the mission target so quickly.

In fact, now he prefers to relax outside. Now that he is doing tasks, he always feels uncomfortable as if he is called to work overtime during the holiday.

But after much deliberation, Fang Yu finally chose to complete this task.

In this world, after experiencing so many disasters, he has deep sympathy for the people of this era.

Although the person waiting for rescue across the street may not be an ordinary person.

But the person the system wants him to save shouldn't be a very vicious person, right?

Of course, if there is really a very vicious and evil person, it would be easy, just save them, complete the task, and then go back to eliminate harm for the people.

It’s just multiple processes, so don’t panic.

Now that she had decided to complete the task, Fang Yu stopped procrastinating and returned the same way, all the way back to the cave.

In the cave, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei were waiting obediently for Fang Yu to come back.

They are not the people in those bloody TV dramas. The protagonist sneaks out after being told not to go out, and then encounters an accident, putting the protagonist in danger or something bad happens.

After vaguely regarding Fang Yu as their backbone, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei have always been obedient to Fang Yu's decisions.

For them, they don't have to help, but they must not cause trouble to Fang Yu!

Therefore, after Fang Yu went out, the two of them did not leave the cave without authorization.

Instead, he consciously received a jar of water, Huangmei boiled the water, and Fang Sanduo dealt with the earthworms and frogs.

This is their "breakfast"

After eating "game" for a week in a row, Fang Yu and the others have gradually become accustomed to it.

I have to say that once you let go of a certain bottom line in your heart, these foods can actually bring people happiness.

The old practice is to bake first and then boil.

When Fang Yu came back, breakfast happened to be ready.

After the two of them saw Fang Yu, they finally couldn't help but asked.

"Goudan... the rain has really stopped? Can we walk outside now?"

Fang Yu nodded.

After the rain stopped, the stream in the back mountain that was originally caused by the heavy rain was no longer so fast.

Without the interference of heavy rain, the safety of crossing the river is much higher.

During previous heavy rains, rolling rocks or dead trees would be washed down from time to time in the stream, which was extremely dangerous.

The joy on the faces of Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei instantly burst out uncontrollably.

"Great...great!!! Finally alive again..."

Every disaster is no less than a test of life and death for the three of them. Now that they are reborn again, the two of them are naturally overjoyed.

"Come on, Goudan, aunt has cooked the broth. Let's drink the soup first. After finishing the soup, you and Third Brother will discuss what to do next!"

Huang Mei took out the earthen pot that had been placed in the water channel to cool down. At this time, the broth was just a little hot but not too hot.

Fang Yu didn't refuse and took the soup first, then took a few sips of the soup. After drinking almost a third of it, she handed it to Huang Mei.

Huang Mei also drank the soup first, drank almost a third of it, and finally handed it to Fang Sanduo.

Fang Sanduo took it and drank the broth in one gulp, leaving some frog meat and earthworm skins inside. He picked some with a wooden stick and stuffed it into his mouth. Regardless of whether there were bones or not, he crunched them all and then swallowed them.

Then he handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu did the same. He took a small portion and handed it to Huang Mei. After Huang Mei finished the rest, the meal ended.

This is the eating pattern of several people these days.

Since there is only one earthen pot, we can only take turns in this way.

After Huang Mei took the earthen jar, she went outside to collect another jar of rainwater.

Outside this cave, there happens to be a pit on the stone wall.

This pit has become a natural reservoir, where several people usually collect water.

While there was still some light from the fire, Huang Mei continued to boil water.

As long as the fire is burning, they will not let it burn in vain.

Usually, they burn firewood while eating, and then boil a jar of water. This jar of water is used to simply wipe down the body.

Although they were trapped in the cave and could not wash their hair, the three of them still did simple skin cleaning diligently under Fang Yu's request.

Originally, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei did not have this habit.

But Fang Yu knows very well that in a claustrophobic situation, keeping the body tidy can actually have a great relaxing effect on the spirit. This is the experience gained in the first world.

At that time, he didn't understand and had no conditions, but he had a deep understanding of the double mental torture.

The result also proved that Fang Yu's approach was correct.

If possible, keeping the body and mind clean will indeed make people more humane.

The earthen pot is not big, so it doesn't take long to boil the water.

After the water boiled and the water temperature dropped, several people took a few sips and then each took out a small piece of cotton cloth.

These were torn from the corners of their clothes.

Use this piece of cotton cloth, pour the water from the earthen pot onto the cotton cloth, then wash the cotton cloth first, and then simply wipe your face and body.

In fact, in this state, it doesn’t take much thinking to know that the cleaning effect will not be very good.

It's good to just wash your face at most.

It's purely symbolic and has more meaning.

But it has to be said that when the warm water is stained with cotton cloth and then placed on the skin and wiped carefully, there will be a pleasant feeling of all the skin pores being opened and breathing freely.

This feeling is very relaxing.

Presumably, after returning to normal life, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei will not be able to borrow this habit.

This feeling is not only scrubbing the body, but also a feeling of cleansing the heart.

After several people finished their daily routine, Fang Yu finally adjusted her mentality completely.

I will start working overtime next... ahem... I have completed the task.

"What? Refugees?"

After hearing Fang Yu's description that there seemed to be people surviving on the opposite hilltop, Fang Sanduo's first thought was of the people from Taguchi Village.

Regarding the day when the three of them ran away early, although he knew that it was indeed too late, there was still a hurdle in their hearts.

The hurdle is not big, but you can feel it.

Therefore, when they learned that there were refugees on the hilltop opposite, they both felt happy.

Some people survive!

This made the inexplicable guilt in the two people's hearts dissipate a lot.

But the two of them were a little unsure about whether to save him or not.

In essence, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei are both very simple people.

In this era, helping each other is the belief of the people at the lowest level.

After all, when everyone adds fuel to the fire, it is extremely difficult for the people at the bottom to live alone in this era.

So the two of them naturally wanted to save him.

But they also considered that they didn't seem to have much ability. If they wanted to cross the river to rescue the refugees, there was nothing Fang Sanduo could do anyway.

There are no boats here, even a raft needs an axe. How can they have an ax now...

"Goudan, we all listen to you"

In the end, the two of them left the decision to Fang Yu.

After all, among the three of them, Fang Yu is the most powerful one now. If he wants to be saved, Fang Yu must be willing to do so.

Fang Yu would naturally choose to save him, after all, this was also his mission.

Huang Mei and Huang Mei naturally had no objections to Fang Yu's decision.

Fang Yu was not surprised either.

In the eyes of Huang Mei and others, Goudan is a very capable person, and his decision is the direction of this family.

It is not impossible to complete the task just by relying on Fang Yu, but it will definitely not be enough in time.

Therefore, working together is the most efficient.

Under Fang Yu's arrangement, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei went to the mountain forest to collect some vines and other things.

These vines that have been exposed to the rain are still not rotten. They are extremely tough vines. After being soaked in water, they become softer and easier to bind.

Under Fang Yu's instructions, the two of them said they would be careful about dangers such as poisonous snakes and swamps, and after memorizing the procedures for handling dangers, they left the cave and walked in one direction.

Fortunately, locusts don't eat tree vines very much, so they are still found on the mountains.

Fang Yu had picked up a lot of rotten tree vines before, and after taking them back and drying them, they were still very easy to burn as firewood.

Fang Yu was not too worried about the two leaving.

They are not three-year-olds, so overprotection is not a problem.

Besides, both of them are Fang Yu's elders.

Although the two of them usually listen to Fang Yu's words, Fang Yu has always regarded them as very reliable elders.

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei took the stone pieces to cut down the vines.

Fang Yu first found a suitable wooden stick outside.

I found another stone that was round at one end and flat at the other.

This stone is ordinary granite, very hard in texture.

Then he found a similar stone and used it as a chisel to carve out an edge on the stone he planned to use as an ax blade.

After having the edge, polish the stone on the rock wall for a while.

Fang Yu, who can exert Ming Jin's peak strength, has unique conditions for this kind of strength.

Therefore, he quickly took out an ax blade.

Although it is not beautiful, it is absolutely durable.

Next, it’s time to make the ax handle.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, the ax handle must first be scraped with a small blade to make a hole, and then charcoal is used to burn a hole large enough for the ax blade to be inserted.

If it were before, Fang Yu would definitely do this.

But now, with the invisible aura, Fang Yu doesn't have to work so hard.

Directly use that small stone strip to attach the invisible energy to it to form an air blade.

Then I started to borrow stone strips and started to "dig" a groove.

Although this will take some physical effort, it can save at least half an hour.

Now that he has accepted this task, Fang Yu will naturally go all out.

He didn't want to see three corpses or something when he went there.

If you can do it sooner, do it sooner. In this way, you will have more time to solve the next problems after coming into contact with the refugees.

Not to mention anything else, the food alone was enough for him to prepare.

For six people, the food needs alone have doubled.

Therefore, at this time, Fang Yu also had an idea in his mind.

That is, after completing the task, prepare some things for the refugees, and then everyone goes their separate ways.

In this case, he doesn't have to bear too much.

After all, what piqued his interest this time was the mission reward itself. Otherwise, even if Fang Yu sympathized with the refugees, without this reward, he would not have much motivation to rescue them.

Refugees are indeed pitiful.

But here... who isn't?
