This heavy rain has been falling continuously for a week!

During this week, the rain has not stopped, and the intensity of the rain has not even subsided.

It seems that all the water vapor that has been in drought for nearly four months in the Fengnan area has fallen in Xiangping.

A week of continuous heavy rains, this amount of rainfall, even in modern times, is enough for the entire country to use resources to fight floods and provide disaster relief, let alone in ancient times with backward technology.

Fang Yu almost didn't need to think too much to guess that these rainy areas at this time were probably experiencing the same experience as Taguchi Village.

This sudden flash flood is destined to make some people who originally lived a stable life fall into displacement.

No one knows how many people will lose their lives in such a flash flood.

Previously, when Fang Yu was studying history, she had read that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it encountered a Little Ice Age.

During that period, the entire surface temperature fell into low temperatures. Many crops froze to death due to the cold. All the firewood in the mountains was cut down. The supply of firewood and charcoal exceeded demand. In winter, countless families who could not afford charcoal froze to death in their homes.

The subsequent decline in national power of the Ming Dynasty also had this reason.

If this is the case in the Ming Dynasty, what about the Chu Kingdom?

There was drought before, then there was locust plague, and then there was flood.

Now Fang Yu wonders if the five years in the main plot were set wrongly?

Given this calamity, if Chu can survive for another year or two, it will be considered a blessing.

However, this is not something Fang Yu can consider now. He is nothing but a caveman. Thinking about this, it is better to think about how they will plan for the future after completing the side mission.

There are only three days left before the side mission.

During this week, the cave has turned into a "holy place" for insects, and no insects will appear at the entrance of the cave all the time.

For their own safety and to prevent snakes from getting into their pants again, Fang Yu and others tidied up the cave a little.

In the middle of the cave, Fang Yu and others dug a circular trench with wood.

They introduced rainwater into this small ditch, and Fang Yu and others rested in the middle.

The ditch is not big, but it is enough to prevent those flightless insects such as caterpillars or earthworms from crawling into it.

Then, at the entrance of the cave, Fang Yu used rattan and wooden sticks to make a door.

This door is very tightly made, at least the gap is difficult for even a centipede to get through, thus preventing any more snakes from crawling into the hole.

And this fence door is built on the inside hole, and the outside passage is not blocked, so even if a snake is blocked, it may still be coiled outside.

Therefore, in the next few days, several people were very cautious when opening the door.

And sure enough, the day before yesterday, through the reserved hole as thick as a finger, Fang Yu discovered that there was a small green snake entangled outside the entrance of the cave.

This little snake is green all over and has tiny scales. It looks very beautiful.

However, the spindle-shaped snake head and the familiar appearance told Fang Yu that this was a poisonous snake.

Bamboo leaves are green.

This is the modern name for this snake.

But here, when Fang Sanduo saw it, he exclaimed "a green leaf".

This is a name for Fangjia Village.

But whether it is a green bamboo leaf or a green leaf, it shows that this is a poisonous snake!

Some people may wonder why there are so many insects and snakes appearing in the mountains and forests at this time when there is no food left.

In fact, in the biological world, insects are very resistant to hunger.

After most insects eat once, they can basically keep it for two weeks to a month without eating again.

Because their activity level is not high.

And even if there is a lack of food on the surface, it does not mean there is a lack of food underground.

Insects such as ants and beetles that live underground have a very complex diet. When necessary, they will eat each other to stay alive.

Therefore, even though the surface of the earth looks bare, a unique biological chain is still alive and well underground.

The power of living things is far greater than we imagine.

If it hadn't been for the heavy rain this time, they would still be surviving underground.

Snakes, on the other hand, are also notoriously resistant to hunger, and can maintain their functions for a long time after just one meal.

Take Bamboo Leaf Green as an example, it is one of the snakes that has the strongest hunger tolerance. After eating once, they can stay healthy without taking in food for 4 to 5 months.

Of course, there are also creatures that are intolerant of hunger, but they are basically large animals, like humans.

For humans, famine, locust plagues, and floods are very scary, but for these creatures, it is just like that, not worth mentioning.

This bamboo leaf green naturally died tragically under Fang Yu's stick.

Then, it also became part of the family's food reserve.

In the past few days, many earthworms, frogs and the like have come to the cave.

They were all hunted by Fang Yu and others and used as food.

Because insects are one of the favorite hosts of parasites, including snakes.

Therefore, Fang Yu was extremely careful when eating them. He really roasted them first and then boiled them. When cooking, he would rather cook them repeatedly until the meat was cooked to pulp, and then he dared to eat them.

Thanks to the timely "replenishment" of these creatures.

Fang Yu and the others successfully lived in the cave for a week and were still in pretty good condition.

Now, there are only three days left before the mission is completed.

Although the food is only enough for one day, if you eat reluctantly, you can still survive for three days.

And within these three days, if you make do and catch some earthworms and frogs, you can supplement one or two meals.

In this way, the past three days have basically been considered stable.

However, the current image of the three of them is very close to that of savages.

Before going up the mountain, the three of them spent some time as human beings in Taguchi Village.

As a result, not long after the good days, he was driven up the mountain by flash floods.

In just over a week, the three people who were still human were no longer human.

Rainy days are different from dry days.

In dry weather, body odor is mainly caused by body odor, but clothes, hair, etc. are considered dry and are fine.

And on this humid rainy day, not to mention the clothes, the hair alone was full of oil and water vapor, and Fang Yu and the other three were even able to catch lice in their hair!

Then there's the appearance.

This can only be said to be more decent than primitive humans.

At least I'm wearing clothes.

In this way, until Fang Yu fell asleep again at night, suddenly the system prompt sound came to his ears again.

"Boom~"

Fang Yu, who had not fallen asleep to begin with, opened her eyes like bells at the sound of the notification sound.

It was already dark at this time, and Fang Yu and the others were lying huddled on a simple bed made of wooden sticks.

These wooden sticks were all wet wood brought in before, roasted a little, and then set up with vines.

The middle is barely woven with vines.

But it was still very uncomfortable to lie down on it.

However, the three of them are all experts in the wilderness. Although they slept on comfortable and flat beds some time ago, they adapted quite quickly after returning to the mountains and forests.

Open the task panel.

The panel that only Fang Yu could see appeared in front of her eyes. Fang Yu directly ignored other related items and opened the task panel with the yellow dot flashing.

"Side Mission: [Rescue]"

"Task description: The heavy rain has stopped, the flash floods have receded, and you are in a difficult situation. Can you still lend a helping hand to those who are also suffering from the same disaster?"

"Mission goal: rescue refugees (0/3)"

"Mission reward: mask grid points +50~150, perfect elixir (C)*1~3, all rescues successful, additional opportunity (luck)*1"

uh-huh?

Rescue refugees?

Can this also be turned into a side quest?

When Fang Yu saw the target of this mission, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

You know, in Taguchi Village, there were hundreds of lives lost before, and the system didn't let him rescue them. But this time, by rescuing three people, he could complete a side mission, and the reward was even quite generous.

Moreover, after all are rescued, there is still a chance of luck!
