The sky was dark and cloudy, making it hard to breathe.
A rush to harvest happened in the Qingque tribe with this kind of weather.
The harvesters stopped what they were doing, picked up the harvested crops on the ground, and joined the loading procession to load the crops onto the trucks.
After seeing that there were enough people beside each truck pulling crops, and there was no need for such a large number of people, the rest of the people started to use ropes very consciously, or they pulled up weeds casually and quickly twisted them into grass.
Rope to tie up the grain.
Some people are good at binding, whether it is people or grains.
In a short time, it can be tied up, which is not only fast, but also neat, beautiful and strong.
They were responsible for binding, and those who were not good at binding would pick up one bundle, or two bundles on a load, and trot toward the threshing floor.
Of course, this is a place close to the threshing floor. In the fields far away from the threshing floor, the people in the tribe directly tie the millet into bundles and stand them upright in the field with the roots facing down and the ears facing up.
high place.
Get together.
Some people ran all the way to the tribe quickly, picked up the grass fence that had been carried to the edge of the threshing floor, and rushed towards the fields where they were harvesting.
After people hurriedly gathered the millet together, they quickly spread out the thick grass fence and covered it with the millet that was too late to be transported to the threshing floor to protect it from wind and rain.
After everyone had prepared the millet in the area where they and others were, they trotted towards the nearest field that had not yet been cleared away without stopping to help.
The threshing floor is more lively than the fields.
This is not only because the crops in the nearby fields are being transported here at this time, but also a more important reason is that the stacks of millet here need to be covered quickly.
Moreover, in the threshing floor, the millet that has just been threshed and the straw has just been picked up, but has not had time to be cleaned, also needs to be gathered quickly.
In the process of gathering, there were many people, who were weaving thin bamboo strips on the outside and using double-layer mat baskets woven with wide bamboo strips on the inside to put the millet in, and then quickly walked towards the empty baskets in the tribe.
Go to the warehouse.
This kind of mat basket is very strong and extremely fine.
It fits perfectly, not to mention it is used to hold millet, even if it is used to hold ground noodles, no noodles will fall out from the gaps.
There is no doubt that such things are made by people in the tribe based on the needs of the tribe after a long period of exploration.
Of course, in this process, Han Cheng, the Son of God from later generations, once played some guiding role.
In the midst of this intense busyness, a chilly evil wind arose and grew rapidly.
Coupled with the gloomy weather, people felt a great sense of urgency.
Not long after the evil wind started, huge raindrops fell down.
A shower is coming soon.
Everyone's hearts were as anxious as if they were on fire!
The raindrops falling at a very fast speed and hitting the body with extreme pain not only failed to extinguish the fire in people's hearts, but actually made the fire in their hearts become more raging.
It was as if what was falling was not rain at all, but oil!
In an instant, the heavy rain soaked the people who were just busy.
At this time, there are still some things that have not been covered.
Everyone was busy in the rain.
Then, under the greetings of Han Cheng and others, they quickly ran towards the tribe.
Everyone, all wet, stood at the gate, at the door of the house, and under the shed, watching the rain with joy, sadness, and some excitement.
After a while, there were people wearing bamboo hats and raincoats heading outside.
Got into the vast curtain of rain.
Of course, there were also some eye-catching people wearing raincoats among the crowd.
These people got into the rain and came all the way to the threshing floor, and some people went into the fields.
This is because there is still a lot of wind blowing at this time, and I am worried that the grass thatch covering things will be blown away by the wind, and the rain will wet the covering millet below, causing damage.
"Why doesn't this rain stop? Still raining?"
Wu stood in the middle of the threshing floor, reaching out to help press the grass and thatch, while looking up and looking around, looking worried and saying in the vast rain curtain.
He stretched out his hand to remove the grass thatch in some places, looked down and found that water had begun to seep in some places, and Wu became even more worried.
What should we do?
The rain was so heavy that it was impossible to move the threshed millet inside the house.
But if it is covered here like this, the waterproof effect of grass thatch is not very good, and a lot of millet will be soaked by rain in time.
When Wu was filled with melancholy and couldn't find a solution, a man wearing a dark gray poncho came next to him.
This person is none other than Han Cheng.
"Hurry up and get those raincloths from the tribe! Use the raincloths to cover these grains!"
Han Cheng also discovered this serious problem.
He turned towards the people beside him and shouted loudly.
After receiving his order, several people immediately rushed towards the tribe in the rain.
After a while, they came running back again.
He held a folded raincloth in his arms.
Han Cheng and the others quickly took the raincloth, opened it quickly, and then quickly covered the pile of millet with their hands and feet.
The grass thatch that had previously covered the millet pile was not removed, but was directly covered on top.
In order to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, everyone found stones and pressed down the sides and top of the raincloth.
After Han Cheng and others completed these things quickly, a lot of water had already collected on the raincloth.
The water collected together flows towards the surroundings, and it is basically certain that the rainwater will not collect towards the millet piles below.
Seeing such a scene, Wu, who was worried about it, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
He lowered his head and looked at the raincloths carefully for a while, then whispered to himself: "These things have some uses, and not all of them are wasteful."
Han Cheng stood far away from Wu, and with the sound of wind and rain at this time, he couldn't hear what Wu said.
However, from the witch's expression, we can see some clues and understand some of the witch's mood at this time.
He couldn't help but smile and said nothing more.
This time, the rain fell very hard and came very fast. This kind of thing made the people in the Qingque tribe very worried.
On rainy days at this time, women and children in the tribe are relatively free.
The men in the tribe still can't relax.
Because there are crops in the fields, they are worried that the rain will flood the crops, so they need to carry tools such as copper shovels to patrol the tribal crop fields.
Dig out the areas where water accumulates and let the water flow out.
Wu was also not idle, he was also patrolling outside.
It's just that the place he visited was the tribe's threshing floor.
He was worried that the wind would blow away things like grass thatch, which would cause losses to the tribe's millet.
Although many people in the tribe have been trying to persuade him and have made it clear to him, saying just don't worry, as long as they are here, the wind will never blow away things like grass thatch.
But Wu was still worried and insisted on going out in the rain to inspect these things.
It's just that besides him, there are other people doing this, so when he wanders around here, he really encounters something, and before it's his turn to take action, someone has already solved it.
After this for a while, Wu's eyes began to fall more and more on the raincloths in the center of the threshing floor.
When rain falls on the raincloth, the water quickly flows away without penetrating underneath.
It's not like grass thatch. It rains lightly and for a short time and it's okay. But if it rains for a long time and it rains hard, the rain starts to seep down and make the things below wet.
Wu couldn't help but came to the center of the threshing floor again, and came to the edge of the raincloths. After getting the water on a small area of the raincloth to the ground, he carefully opened the raincloth, and then removed the other raincloth.
Wiping clean hands on the clothes inside the coir raincoat, he reached out to the millet covered under the raincloth.
It feels really not wet when I hold it in hand.
Such a result made Wu couldn't help but look at the rain cloth again.
It seems that there is also a raincoat made of the same material in his room.
This was given to him by the Son of God a few days ago.
After I got it, I kept it there without wearing it.
This kind of material looks very strange. With such a thin layer, the waterproof effect is so good. Do you want to try it on yourself?
See what the effect is?
Wu squatted here, looking at the rain cloth in front of him, thinking this in his heart.
I definitely have not forgotten the vows I made before, I just simply think that this raincloth is very magical, and I want to feel what it feels like to wear clothes made of such raincloth.
With this thought in his mind, Wu became at ease and took it for granted.
I just wanted to try it, not really want to wear it. This was not at all contrary to my previous thoughts.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, and the truth was indeed such a truth.
Immediately, he took his hand out from under the raincloth and covered the raincloth again, pressing the edges with stones to prevent the raincloth from being lifted by the strong wind.
Then he stood up and headed towards the tribe.
The people on the threshing floor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the wizard had finally returned.
This is not because the presence of witches will make them feel pressured and uncomfortable.
It was because they were worried that with such heavy rain and wind, the witch would get sick if he stayed here for a long time.
After all, witches are older and different from ordinary people.
Dou hats and raincoats can indeed protect you from rain, but this kind of rain protection has certain limitations, and it does not really guarantee that your body will not get wet.
Over time, the body will become damp, and even the clothes on the body will become wet and stick to the body.
Very uncomfortable.
Over time, the witch's body may become unable to bear it.
Wu returned to the room, and with Yuan's help, took off his bamboo hat and coir raincoat and hung them on the wall.
A large amount of rainwater dripped down the bamboo hat and raincoat, and soon left a patch of water on the ground, making it wet.
The bamboo hats and raincoats were already heavy due to the materials they were made of. Now they were soaked by the rain and became even heavier.
After taking it off his body, Wu suddenly felt a lot lighter.
The whole person felt lighter.
Wu stretched out his wet hands and stroked his half-bald head from front to back a few times, and then began to rummage around the room looking for it.
"What are you looking for?"
Standing on the edge, Yuan, with a big belly, asked out loud.
"Looking for a raincoat."
Although he really didn't want to tell anyone about this matter, Yuan asked about it at this time. After Wu hesitated for a while, he still told the truth.
"I remember putting it here, but why can't I find it?"
After finishing speaking, Wu hurriedly opened his mouth and said doubtfully.
It's like trying to use such language to divert or cover up something.
Yuan couldn't help but be stunned and didn't react for a while.
"Why are you looking for it? Didn't you say you don't want to wear a raincoat?"
Yuan asked, and walked to the corner of the room, opened the lid of a wooden box that was propped up, groped inside for a while, and took out something.
It’s really a neatly folded raincoat.
Wu's complexion was a little dark, but because of the dark sky, it was not very obvious.
"I don't want to wear it, I just want to try it now."
Wu said this as calmly as possible.
While saying this, he reached out and took the raincoat from Yuan's hand.
After stretching it out, I put it on my body.
After putting on the raincoat, Wu's eyes were filled with gray and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Yuan looked at Wu who was wearing his raincoat inside out, with his whole face covered by the hood of the raincoat, with the seeds on the back of his head exposed, and couldn't help but laugh.
She stretched out her hand to help Wu straighten his raincoat, exposing Wu's face.
Wu felt that the poncho on his body was almost weightless compared to the bamboo hat and raincoat. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This kind of raincloth was a bit sinful, but it was quite light to wear.
"I'll go out and try it out to see if this thing is rainproof or not."
Wu put on his raincoat and felt the house for a while, thought about it, and said to Yuan.
Then, without waiting for Yuan Yuan to react, he walked straight outside the house.
Got into the vast curtain of rain.
After a while, it disappeared before your eyes.
Yuan stood here waiting for a long time, but did not see Wu come back, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
