Chapter 1232: Picking up stones after the rain
Rain began to fall from the sky.
They wanted to run back to the tribe now, but it was too late.
There is a grassland around me, and the only place to take shelter from the rain is under the trees.
But on the grassland, with lightning and thunder, hiding under the trees, isn't it looking for death?
"Find an open place, preferably a pit or something, and put up a rain shelter." Lin Ran said to the others.
It is very difficult to take shelter from the rain on the grassland.
It has started to rain now, and riding wildly will make you an easy target for lightning.
At this time, there are no caves nearby, so they can only find some low-lying places, preferably pits, and pull up a simple rainproof tarpaulin to give them a place to hide.
Others immediately set out to search.
Take a look at the horses in the distance. They seem to be calm and lower their heads.
The beasts on the grassland rely on their own bodies to withstand the heavy rain. Human beings are not as strong as them.
Finally, Wang Jinpeng and the others discovered several raised stones.
They moved slowly over there.
Finally, despite the strong wind, the tarp was pulled up.
Only then did I understand why Lin Ran was looking for a pit. If it were on flat ground, it would be like flying a kite.
Close to the ground, the effect of wind is not so obvious.
They hid underneath and let the heavy rain beat on the tarpaulin.
There was lightning and thunder outside, and they could only lean on the rocks.
From time to time, some rainwater will seep in, and we have to get them out.
"I didn't expect it to be so thrilling." Manya actually laughed.
Adventure is all she's ever been after.
Others were complaining. The weather was fine just now, but why did it suddenly rain heavily?
Could it be that there really is something evil under the lake?
"Jin Peng, you dived so deep just now, what did you see down there?"
Now there is nothing to do while taking shelter from the rain.
Lao Hei took the initiative to initiate the topic.
In fact, Wang Jinpeng, like him, could not see anything at first.
After all, at this depth, and with the refraction of the water, there is no light underneath.
You can't see the reflection of light, and naturally you can't see the scenery below.
However, for some reason, just when he was about to drown, he actually saw clearly what was underneath.
"There is a tower-like building, no, rather than a building, it is more like a mountain."
Wang Jinpeng's Chinese proficiency is not very good, and he can only describe it to this extent.
Is there a mountain below?
Lin Ran felt a little surprised, but he felt that he seemed to have found a clue.
After the heavy rain ended, they went back to the lake to have a look.
The storm on the grassland comes and goes quickly.
In just over ten minutes, the rain gradually became lighter.
Now it's time to leave the shelter and go directly to the lake.
The idea of others is to return to the village quickly while the rain is light.
If there is another storm, their bodies will not be able to bear it.
Lin Ran insisted on going back to the lake to take a look.
Because they had just experienced a storm, the horses were reluctant to go near the lake. This seemed to be an animal instinct.
Lin Ran could only move to the other side of the lake, squat down, and check the growth status of the vegetation on the ground.
If it is empty below, the vegetation on the ground will be sparse, otherwise it will be more dense.
Whether there are tombs under the surface can be judged by the growth status of the vegetation above.
But it's only suitable for professional tomb robbers. Under normal circumstances, you won't see any difference.
Lin Ran couldn't actually tell, but he could judge based on the touch of his hands.
Hong Wu secretly rejoiced on the sidelines. Fortunately, he was not good at water.
Otherwise, I might be the one who goes down.
Even if he had keen observation skills, it would be impossible for him to see the bottom in the dark lake.
That is no longer a question of good eyesight, but almost fantasy.
Therefore, Lao Hei did not make things difficult for him.
They stood beside Lin Ran, wondering what he was thinking?
Maybe he was thinking now, but Lin Ran didn't speak.
Others also followed the principle of trusting him and did not interrupt his thinking.
On the contrary, Manya said casually and directly: "Let's go back while the rain is light now."
But at this moment, an unexpected figure appeared in her sight.
"Maniya, why are you here?" The man was also very surprised when he saw the group of people.
At this moment, he was wearing a raincoat, pulling a carriage behind him, and was fully armed. He was obviously well prepared.
It is Mr. Dolau, the craftsman of the tribe.
He was still hesitating whether to approach the crowd.
Lin Ran looked up at him. The moment the two looked at each other, he recognized Duolao.
"Mr. Dolo."
They came to the lake and stood there, but Duolao stared at the wet soil on the lake.
"Are you looking for something?"
Duolao didn't seem to want to answer. After all, Lin Ran and the others were outsiders.
It was Manya who said, "Mr. Duolao, would you like us to help you find it together?"
"No need." Duolao looked very alert, "I think you should go back to the village quickly. It will rain heavily again soon."
"You should go back with us!" Manya said.
In fact, she didn't need to say anything, everyone else's eyes were all focused on Duolao.
Why did he come?
Manya grew up watching Duolao. She originally wanted to be her son's wife, but she didn't expect this to happen.
He felt sorry and shook his head.
Although he was not familiar with the other people, they also helped his son pray.
He told them that he was here to look for materials.
"Every time after a heavy rain, you can pick up some special materials by the lake." Duolao was rummaging on the ground with a stick.
Sure enough, he found a stone.
He picked it up with a smile and showed it to everyone.
This stone looks like just an ordinary mountain rock.
However, Lin Ran and A Ming discovered something different.
This is a lake. Are there any mountains around it? Where do the rocks come from?
Wang Jinpeng, who dived into the water, suddenly remembered the mountain he saw before he fell into coma.
"Could this be a stone that fell from the mountain?"
Because of the buoyancy of the water, it was pushed to the shore.
"Exactly, brothers from afar, I hope you will keep my secret." Duolao smiled and reminded them to keep quiet.
"Are you just looking for this kind of stone?" Lin Ran asked. He probably knew Duo Lao's purpose.
Duolao nodded, and a group of them began to sweep around the lake.
Eventually more than 20 such stones were found.
The wind started to blow again on the grassland, and Duolao said, "You guys can go back with my car."
"Where are the horses?"
Manya whistled and the horse started running freely.
"They know where home is." Manya smiled.
Sitting in the carriage, the sound of rain sounded again outside.
But this time the wind was not strong and I felt very at ease sitting inside.
As for what the stone Duolao was holding was, Lin Ran already had the answer in his mind, but he didn't say it in person.
Whether you tell them or not depends on your own thoughts.
