Chapter 69 The Season of Fire

Chu Ruoyun had imagined many times how hot it would be after the season of flames came, and when he really realized it, he was almost irritable and wanted to hit someone.

On the day when the season of flames began, the temperature suddenly rose, and he was woken up by the heat before dawn.

He was sweating a lot all over his body. He touched the sweat on his body, got off the stone bed and prepared to wash with the well water he put before going to bed to reduce the body heat. Unexpectedly, his hands were heated just as soon as they entered the water. Withdrew his hand.

He didn't expect that the well water, which usually seeps cold on weekdays, would become so scalding overnight in the tub.

He was a little helpless, so he had to wipe off the sweat on his body with the animal skin, but he just wiped off the sweat on his body, and within a few minutes, his whole body was covered with sweat again.

He didn't feel sleepy after waking up due to the hot weather.

Soo wakes up after he wakes up.

Soo, like him, was covered in sweat.

Seeing him constantly wiping the sweat off his body with the animal skin, Zhu asked, "Can't Yun sleep?"

After he went to Soo and sat down, he replied with some irritability: "It's too hot, I didn't expect the first day of the season of fire to be so hot."

Soo touched the sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect the weather to be so hot, so he comforted him and said, "In a few days, when the cave becomes dry, it will be much better if we go to live in the cave than now."

He felt the same, but the feeling of being so unbearably hot now made him a little at a loss. He took Soo's hand and said, "Let's go get some well water to cleanse and cool down before going to sleep. The water we got last night has become very cold." It's hot and there's no way to clean it."

After hearing this, Soo nodded in agreement with him.

The two got off the stone bed and began to walk outside the stone house.

As soon as they came out of the stone house, a gust of hot air rushed towards his face. Because of the hot air, he felt that he couldn't breathe. He took a long breath and took a while to adapt to the temperature outside the stone house.

The outside of the stone house is more stuffy than the inside, and the air is also steamed with mist, making everything around it look a bit hazy.

Sweat ran down his forehead and cheeks, and his entire body was soaked in sweat.

Because his body was constantly sweating, his mouth and tongue became parched.

He and Soo's pace was not slow, and it didn't take long for them to come to the nearest well.

Before they got close to the well, they heard other people shouting for heat.

When they saw other people in the tribe gathered around the well and kept washing their bodies with water, they knew that everyone, like them, couldn't bear the hot weather and wanted to wash with well water to cool down the temperature.

The others saw them coming, and after saying hello, they hurriedly beckoned them to clean up.

Soo used a wooden barrel tied with a rope to fetch a bucket of water in the well. Chu Ruoyun stuffed his hot hands into the barrel almost the moment Soo brought up the water, and the cold feeling of the well water hit him instantly. , He exclaimed, then held Soo's hands and stuffed them into the barrel, "Soo, this is very comfortable."

Soo also didn't refuse to smile and let him hold his hand and stuff it into the water, the cool feeling and the feeling of holding Soo's hand made him very comfortable.

He sighed, and when the hot hands became no longer hot, Soo took them away from him, scooped up some water and sprinkled it on his sweaty back.

He felt a coolness on his back, seeing Soo making such playful movements, he also became interested, and poured some water on Soo.

Soo was instantly amused by the action of him pouring water.

Now that water is very precious, they didn't dare to waste it, so they each poured some water on each other's backs, and then began to wash their bodies seriously.

The sweat on their bodies was washed by the cold well water, and they became more comfortable, but the stuffy air did not make the cool body comfortable for long, so they just stayed here like everyone else, constantly washing their bodies with cold well water.

They stayed by the well for a while, and other people who were awakened by the heat woke up one after another.

Some people from the non and non-tribes also came to the well.

When they saw other people washing their bodies with well water, they couldn't help sighing.

Fei also walked to Soo and talked about the things they were so hot last year, "It's like this every year in the season of fire, and it's hard to bear on the first night of the season of fire. After that, we will become more and more accustomed to the temperature increase. Last year at this time, we even ventured to the river to wash to cool off."

Before, Chu Ruoyun couldn't get in the way no matter how he described the season of flames. Now that he has just entered the season of flames, he can feel the feeling of being too hot. He asked aloud: "It's so hot tonight. , will it continue to be hot? How can we bear it if it goes on like this?"

"It will continue to be hot." Fei gave an affirmative answer, "The heat is just beginning now. In the future, we will be in a state of hunger and thirst at any time, and we will not be able to eat or sleep well. Some plants in the forest It will gradually wither. On the contrary, some plants that are well adapted to the hot weather will grow wildly. Such plants are only a small part. The animals in the forest will become irritable. They frantically look for water sources and attack from time to time. When the time comes, Going to the forest will become very dangerous. At that time, we generally seldom go out, as long as we have enough water to maintain our bodies, there is nothing to do after we gradually adapt to the weather of the fire season.”

It wasn't easy to say it, but Chu Ruoyun's expression was a little bad after hearing it.

Tonight has been so unbearable, if it is still the same tomorrow, how can I bear it?

The important thing is that he can't sleep tonight, and I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep even tomorrow.

As a human, with such a strong self-control ability, there will be very violent impulses, not to mention animals.

Under such a harsh natural environment, he didn't have much better way, he could only think about waiting for the cave dwelling to dry completely before going down to live.

All of them stayed around the well for almost a night. When they got hot, they washed their bodies with well water to cool off. The continuous sweltering heat made it impossible for them to go back to sleep. They listened to a lot of people from non and non-tribes. About the season of fire.

The more they listened, the more they felt that it was not as easy as they imagined to survive the season of fire.

As soon as the sky was bright, the sun hung high in the sky early.

With the sun's rays, the temperature in the air is higher.

No matter how hot the weather is, they still have to do what they have to do.

They have to deal with some finishing work in the cave dwelling, and they are also moving some things in order to live in the cave dwelling as soon as possible.

Chu Ruoyun and Ting have to cook for everyone.

In such heat, cooking is the most unbearable thing among other jobs.

The heat of the air and the temperature of the flames were almost explosive, and Ting couldn't stand it.

The two of them could only take turns cooking, and they would go to the well to wash when it was hot, and they would not cook more complicated meals at this time, but try to cook meals that were not close to the flame, such as cooking meat and vegetable soup, cooking meat, etc. And so on, as for food like barbecue, they can't even think about it.

After one day passed, Chu Ruoyun felt that his whole body had been sublimated.

The feeling of unbearable thirst made him drink water from time to time, and the sweat came out too much, so he could only keep wiping.

Under the long-term irritability, he has been able to learn to suppress some emotions.

Because in such a state for a long time, and unable to fall asleep, the body looks very tired.

Seeing him like this, Soo also wanted him to rest more, but he lay down and closed his eyes, no matter how tired his body was, he couldn't fall asleep, and would wake up in a short while.

For this reason, in order to be able to sleep for a while, he filled the wooden bucket he usually takes a bath with well water, completely submerged his whole body in the water and tried to sleep before he could fall asleep.

In this way, he can only sleep for a short while, and he will wake up when the water is hot.

But even so, he felt happy to be able to sleep for a while.

After he told other people in the tribe about this method, others also tried to sleep with his method, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

Had they heard Chu Ruoyun's method, their jaws would have dropped in shock. Sure enough, only tribes like them with well water would choose to sleep in water. In previous years, it was difficult for them to store water. How could they sleep in water? conditions of.

After entering the season of fire, Mo became irritable like them, and would let out unbearable roars from time to time.

In order to cool down the ink, Chu Ruoyun specially dug a pool for the ink, and filled it with water to cool down the ink.

The jet-black coat on Mo's body fell off a lot after being submerged in water.

When he first saw Mo's hair loss, he was quite frightened, and he was relieved only after Su said that it was a normal hair loss phenomenon of Mo orangutans.

They also change the water for the ink from time to time, so the water consumption is particularly large.

After a day passed, Chu Ruoyun suddenly felt a little crisis.

With the coming of the fire season, many rivers will dry up, which means that the water level will drop. They use so much water that he is a little worried that within a short period of time, the four wells they dug water from will run out of water.

Therefore, he must come up with a countermeasure considering this possibility.

He had to consider that in addition to digging wells, he would dig some pools or rivers that could produce water, and bring the rivers into the vicinity of the tribe, so that they would be prepared even if the weather was hot.

They can then choose to use the well water for food and other water for cleaning.

It's just that it's not easy to find such a river or pool.

He had to carefully identify the water sources that Soo had explored before before he could draw a conclusion.

If such a water source can really be found, it would be a great thing for them now.
