Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Wen Ju was a little reluctant, and asked his father as he walked, "Daddy, can't we live at Uncle's house?"

"Silly boy, Uncle Li's family is going to live too. If you give us the food, they will be hungry." Seeing Wen Ju's half-understanding look, his father sighed, buried his head and continued on his way.

Chen Wendong shook his head, the Li family and his son were willing to take them in for a night, and they gave them these things back before leaving, which is considered as the most benevolent.In this year, I don't know what will happen in the future.

As Chen Wendong walked, he caught frogs and grasshoppers, and occasionally snakes. If there were too many, he would tie them into strings with long grass.When the father saw the snake, he immediately avoided it, but the two little guys were not timid at all. When Chen Wendong was inconvenient, they would help to take it.

At noon, the father and son only ate some dried sweet potatoes and drank some water, and then continued on their way.From time to time on the road, I would meet disaster victims from other places. They hurried and arrived in front of Chen's father and son in a short while.

Father Chen looked a little anxious, but Chen Wendong didn't take it seriously, "There are so many victims along the way, and I don't think it's a good thing to rush to one place. With so many people together, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a plague. It's good for us to stay behind .”

In the evening, the Chen family found a cave and settled down.This is already the boundary of Yunmen County, but to reach the next village, they have to go through a large wilderness.According to their current pace, Chen Wendong probably wouldn't be able to get out if they walked for another day.

Chen Wendong looked at this wilderness and felt puzzled. There were rocks and undulating terrain here, which was very different from the previous landform, which made people feel very abrupt. It was hard for him to imagine how this landform was formed.

His father was always worried, and Chen Wendong knew what he was worried about, but it seemed that his father's worries were unnecessary.So what if you can't catch up with the people in front, it's just a matter of one day sooner or later.Rather than being exhausted on the road, it is better to have a good rest, pay attention to hygiene, and prevent illness from coming.You know, the health of your family is the most important thing.

The so-called catastrophe must be followed by a catastrophe. According to Chen Wendong's observation, the victims they encountered in the past two days all looked tired. Even drinking muddy water from puddles on the side of the road, so it's no wonder that I don't get sick.

The father and son cleaned the cave inside and out, and then went outside to deal with the 'prey'.Speaking of this cave, Chen Wendong discovered it by accident when he was catching snakes.The cave was facing away from the road, and the entrance of the cave was still covered with weeds. If it weren't for Chen Wendong's sharp eyes, it would be impossible to find it.What's even more peculiar is that the hole looks small, but the inside is very spacious and well ventilated. It is simply a natural treasure for sleeping in the wild.

Chen Wendong took two followers, found a relatively clean pond, cleaned up the frogs and snakes, and then filled a crock of water before returning to the cave.

When I went back, my father had gathered some firewood.Several people lit a fire, boiled a jar of boiling water, roasted some frogs, and finally roasted the grasshoppers with the embers of the fire, and ate them separately.

After eating, Chen Wendong looked at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and couldn't help frowning, "Father, let's gather more firewood and come back quickly, and catch more frogs. I think it will probably rain tonight."

Father also saw the dark clouds in the sky, and nodded in agreement with Chen Wendong's suggestion.A family of four split up, two of them collected firewood, and two of them caught frogs, which was quite effective.

Before dark, Chen Wendong returned to the cave, and after a while, Father Chen would also come.The recovered firewood piled up half the cave, which was probably enough for two days. Chen Wendong also caught dozens of frogs and six or seven snakes, plus what was left before, it should be enough to eat.

Before it was dark, Chen Wendong lit a fire in the cave to drive away the mosquitoes, and then returned with some thick branches.After the fire was extinguished, the family of four returned to the cave. Chen Wendong and his father sealed the entrance of the cave with branches and stones, and piled some firewood at the entrance to prevent wolves from invading.

With the remaining warmth from the fire, the family cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Chen Wendong was woken up by the sound of the rain. Hearing the heavy rain, he hurried to the entrance of the cave to check. Seeing that there was no water in the cave, he lay down and fell asleep again.

Woke up the next day and the rain was still falling and showing no sign of getting any less.Chen Wendong frowned secretly, it is not a good thing that it is raining so much at this time!

Father Chen removed the stones and branches from the entrance of the cave, and the cave became much brighter immediately.Chen Wendong and the two little guys washed their faces in the rain, brought back a crock of rainwater, and started cooking.

Father sighed for a long time, smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we won't be able to leave today."

Chen Wendong nodded, "Fortunately, we found such a cave. If we live outside, and it rains for another day, even the best body will collapse. So, Dad, don't hurry. Let me tell you , since God has left us, we can stay in the cave with peace of mind, and when the rain stops, it’s never too late to leave, it’s better than being drenched outside.”

For breakfast, frogs and snakes were boiled. Although they were only boiled for a while, they all ate deliciously, and there was not even soup left.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, my father sighed a series of times, "Hey... If this continues, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

Chen Wendong thought to himself, even if the rain stops now, it is already too late, the disaster has already been done.After the Yun River diverted, if the upstream villages were like this, the downstream villages could be imagined.The escaped victims flocked to several counties and counties. A large number of victims gathered without epidemic prevention measures. Coupled with the heavy rain overnight, the plague may have spread.

Since he had nothing to do, Chen Wendong simply observed the cave. After a closer look, he really saw the problem.The entrance of this cave is small, the inside is large, the inside of the cave is flat and dry, the walls of the cave are hard and the surface is uneven, there is no natural erosion at all, but it looks like it was dug by hand.In the end, Chen Wendong also found stone carvings in the cave. The carving patterns were only the size of copper basins, and they looked very much like ancient Taotie.

"Father, do you know this pattern?" Chen Wendong pointed out the stone carving to his father, but Father Chen looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know why.Chen Wendong was a little disappointed, and secretly remembered the pattern, thinking that he might know what it was in the future.

A few years later, Chen Wendong came back here again, and finally revealed the true face of Shi Wendiao, which in turn changed his life direction.

In the evening, the rain finally stopped.But it was getting late, and it was not suitable for them to travel any longer, so they could only stay one more night.

When the rain cleared up, the family of four started running around for rations again.After working hard for more than an hour, they caught a total of sixty or seventy frogs, three snakes, and a few bunches of grasshoppers. It can be said that the results were remarkable.

It rained sporadically that night. Fortunately, the next day finally cleared up. The family packed up their things and started the journey of fleeing famine again.
