There is a reason for Shi Lei to think so. The pendant of the collarbone chain is usually a small thing, and there are no small prints on it, and it doesn't look like a couple's jewelry.

The place where Chang Jieqiu died was the place where he found the golden pendant, Shi Lei could guess it just by looking at the blood stain on the ground without asking.

But Shi Lei didn't ask Luffy, he just muttered in his heart, Luffy is his friend, how could Shi Lei question Luffy for no reason, because of this.

"Are you hungry?" Just as he was thinking, Shi Lei felt his stomach growl, the hot water he drank just now was no longer effective.

Shi Lei originally thought, go to the cave, where some women find something to eat, but as soon as he turned around, Shi Lei felt empty.

He suddenly remembered that he hadn't put on any clothes yet, and his clothes were still spread out on the floor, Shi Lei felt very regretful, if he had known that he would not be lazy just now, he would not be hungry now.

Thinking, Shi Lei bent down and picked up the clothes, hanging in the air, the clothes were still dripping with water, walked to the entrance of the cave, Shi Lei put all the clothes on his arms, and wrung them dry one by one.

"I hope that after this rain is over, the sky will clear up." Shi Lei muttered uneasy, praying in his heart, it must not rain for several days.

He looked up and glanced outside, the rain had turned into a torrential downpour, Shi Lei was standing, and the rain kept hitting his legs, not to mention the icy cold, and the cold wind blowing in.

Shi Lei shuddered, turned around and hurried to the fire, hung the clothes to dry, after finishing, Shi Lei squatted on the ground, looking out of the cave.

He couldn't sit even if he wanted to, the cave floor was icy rocks, and the wooden sticks were easy to get stuck when sitting without clothes on, even if he was squatting, Shi Lei had to clamp his legs tightly.

Shi Lei hadn't taken off the watch since he put it on last time, he stretched out his hand and glanced at it casually, only then did Shi Lei realize that it was past three o'clock, but the sky outside seemed to be the same as when it was dark at six or seven o'clock.

"Shi Lei, your clothes are dry." Just as Shi Lei was in a daze, he suddenly heard Luffy's voice, and when Shi Lei raised his head, his head was covered by the clothes falling from him.

Shi Lei almost didn't come up in one breath, he hurriedly pulled the clothes off his head, and after touching them, he realized that the originally wet clothes had become fluffy.

But when he twisted it, it was full of creases, looking dirty, seeing this, Shi Lei frowned, thinking, he must make some soap when he has time, and wash the clothes quickly after encountering the running water.

When Shi Lei was getting dressed, Tatu and Lu Fei were already dressed. After Shi Lei got dressed, the three of them walked towards the cave. When they reached the screen, Shi Lei raised his hand and knocked, cleared his throat and asked Said: "Is it convenient to go there?"

"Come in, the three of you are finally here, I was thinking of calling you." Ji Lanlan heard the voice, and rushed to greet her, while Xi Chuyu and Tian Mier moved the screen away.

Shi Lei chuckled, glanced around the fire, and saw the bamboo tube hanging from the wooden frame on the fire at a glance. Seeing this, Ji Lanlan explained with a smile: "This was made for you before, and you have never seen it." I came back, so I hung it on it to keep warm, and the temperature is just right when I eat it."

While talking, Shi Lei and the others had already walked to the fire, Ji Lanlan poured soup into the bowls of the three of them, and found a place to sit down.

The temperature was just right, it wasn't too cold, and it didn't burn your mouth when you took a big bite. Shi Lei and the three of them were hungry for a long time, they devoured the meat, and drank the broth after a while.

"Are these enough?" Just as Shi Lei put down the bowl, Ji Lanlan asked, "Do you need some more?"

Shi Lei waved his hand at Ji Lanlan, "Don't bother, you can also rest for a while, eat some more, I should hold on."

After the last one of Luffy was full, Guo Jingyi suddenly said, "How long do you think the rain will last? If it keeps on raining, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Shi Lei put away the complacency on his face, and his expression became dignified, this is a problem, what worried him most was not Shi Lei, but Taya.

Taya's face was a little pale, it could even be said to be pale, she must have thought of something, Shi Lei saw that something was wrong, thought that Taya grew up here after all, so she must know the situation better than them.

"Taya, what's the matter?" Shi Lei said softly and concerned, seeing Taya's expression getting more and more strange, Shi Lei tentatively asked: "Did you think of something?"

Taya raised her head and glanced at Shi Lei, and Shi Lei finally saw clearly, the panic and helplessness in Taya's eyes, Shi Lei felt something was wrong, so he quickly eased his tone, and said softly: "Taya, don't worry, what's the matter, You just say it, and everyone will work with you to find a solution.”

"I..." Taya opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, and after a long while, Tian Mier beside her was the first to lose her temper, "Taya, can you stop talking? If you have something to say, just say it boldly." , I'm almost dying of anxiety like you."

Taya lowered her head when she heard the words, hesitated for a moment, she nodded slightly, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Lei, Shi Lei nodded to Taya.

"At this time of year, we will have..." Taya spoke intermittently, and she could only speak out many modern words, "It rains for half a month, the reason why there are streams here is that Every year this month, the rain that falls adds to the groundwater."

In other words, they have to stay in the cave for half a month... Thinking about it, Shi Lei immediately thought of several disadvantages. If it rains every day, food will be a problem.

Before the water source, Shi Lei was worried that there was something wrong with the rainwater, so he didn't dare to collect it. Hearing what Taya said, Shi Lei immediately remembered that there was an unopened water filter in his backpack.

"Taya, does the red rain at the beginning happen every year?" Just as Shi Lei was thinking, Xi Chuyu asked curiously.

Taya shook her head without thinking, frowned and said: "Of course not, this has never happened here before, and this is the first time."

"Oh." Xi Chuyu was just curious, so she asked casually, and when she heard the answer, she stopped being entangled, changed the subject, curled her lips and muttered: "In that case, when will we reach our destination?"

C Group, it sounds like the kind of rich and powerful force, this rain is a difficulty for them who lack food and clothing, and even lack weapons and equipment, for others...

Xi Chuyu didn't say the last few sentences because she was dragged by Guo Jingyi, but everyone present knew what she meant.

Taya stared at the fire with some unhappiness, pursed her lips and said nothing, thinking a little aggrieved in her heart, is she going to stand by and watch the things guarded by the tribe be taken away by those people?
