After the windy month comes the rainy month.

Since the last storm, the heavy drizzle has hardly stopped.

The breeze wrapped in water droplets blew from all directions, lowering the temperature of the island to 30°C.

Rain is not unfamiliar to most primitive people. The people in Songshan tribe even regard rain as a gift from God, because after the rainy season, they can get more resources from the mountains and forests.

Just at the beginning of the third month, when Jiang Xun went out to collect, he discovered a new green and yellow plant covered with small grains.

She couldn't confirm the species, so she brought it back to show it to other people in the tribe and the goddess.

Li Yang, who had just finished cramming a book called "Crop Encyclopedia", couldn't believe her eyes when she saw this thing.

The island is small, but it creates myths.

Two staple foods, round beans and millet, actually appeared on 150 square kilometers of land!

Could it be that Poseidon really gave her a chance to cheat?

Poseidon: [If you don’t see, hear, or ask, you won’t know. ]

Fengshen: [Xiaoli, you have to believe that the game is fair. If you gain, you must lose. If you lose, you must gain.]

Poseidon: [How did you spoil the plot? ]

Fengshen: [Is there? If you don’t see, hear or ask, you won’t know. ]

Li Yang understood after seeing the barrage: What Fengshen meant was that after the storm, the game provided some compensation to all players, but don’t be too happy, because there will be other challenges later.

She gently stroked the green spikelets, and arranged for the planting team to work overtime that day to reclaim another 200 square meters of wasteland and plant millet.

Seeing their companions working hard from dawn to dusk every day, those in charge of hunting and fishing could no longer sit still. They have been very active recently, going out every two or three days and always bringing back a lot of harvest.

Not only were there deer and pigs weighing more than two or three hundred pounds, there were also several fish that were larger than humans. So many people in the tribe could not finish eating them all.

The cook has been very busy lately, constantly smoking meat and fish.

There were also some fruits that had not been eaten before. Jiang Xun was afraid that they would go bad if he didn't eat them for a long time, so he simply made them into jam and stored them.

Li Yang was still the first one to taste it.

The taste of the jam is still okay, but a little sour, probably because there is no extra sugar added.

There are no sugar beets or sugar cane on the island, so there are no raw materials for sugar production.

But after eating too much bitter food, one can't help liking sweet things. Seeing that everyone liked it, she simply gave Jiang Xun a few more bags of white sugar and asked her to put some in the sauce later.

This kind of happy life lasted for about a week. The tribe’s warehouse was full and everyone was happy every day.

Of course, the impacts of the rainy season are not all good.

There are problems, indeed.

First of all, it is inconvenient to collect rubber, pine oil, and lacquer tree sap when it rains. After all, these things will be ruined if they are exposed to water.

In addition, there seems to be a strange "infectious disease" in the tribe recently?

Jiang Ming was the first to notice that he was not feeling well.

Because a lot of pottery was lost in the storm, the tribe has been firing pottery more frequently. But maybe it's because he uses his hands too much, he's been feeling a lot of pain in his fingers lately.

Both hands are peeling.

I just complained a few words during dinner, but I didn't expect that it resonated with everyone.

As soon as Ying Yi opened his mouth, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I haven't been feeling well lately. My throat hurts a lot, as if it was burned by fire."

"Me too, me too!"

"I thought it was because I was thirsty. I've been drinking a lot of water lately, and the more I drink, the more it hurts."

As soon as this topic came up, everyone started chatting about it.

Jiang Ming first thought it was interesting, as he was not the only one who felt bad. As he listened further, he realized something was wrong.

Ji Siyuan and Jiang Xun's smiles gradually faded.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone couldn't help but ask:

"Are we sick?"

"It's possible, because my body doesn't have this condition." Jiang Xun thought for a while and added, "And the rainy season definitely can't cause this condition."

Rain will cause the humidity in the air to increase. People living here will only feel damp. How can they feel thirsty and dry?

There must be some other reason.

The first thing everyone suspected was the food, but after several rounds of inspection, no problems were found.

After working all night, many people were tired.

Ying Yi picked up the pottery jar, took some water from it and drank it all.

"Wait!" Jiang Xun discovered something unusual.

She snatched the jar and shook the water inside: "Do you usually drink rainwater directly?"

"Yes." Ying Yi hasn't noticed anything wrong yet.

"Do you suspect there's something wrong with the rain?" Li Wangyue reacted.

Jiang Xun nodded: "The goddess said that water must be boiled before drinking. I have never drunk raw water, and I don't feel anything abnormal in my body."

"You think too much." Some people still didn't believe her and argued with her, "How can there be a problem with rainwater?"

Jiang Xun glanced at him and didn't explain much.

If you want to verify your guess, there is a more convenient way - go directly to the goddess.

Li Yang didn't expect that the new challenge would come so soon.

Based on Jiang Xun's description, she had actually believed most of it, but just in case, she still went to the mall and bought a water quality tester.

She asked her followers to collect some rainwater and then insert this thermometer-like object into the water.

Three seconds later, the acid value on the instrument soared and instantly broke through the safety line.

The conjecture is established.

It’s worthy of being a game, even when it rains it’s acid rain.

Li Yang now didn't know whether to praise the believers for their good health first, or to scold them for drinking raw water to save trouble.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and can still be saved.

She asked everyone to light a fire, boil the water, and then put the detector in. Sure enough, after a while, the value returned to near the safety line, but it still showed a slight acidity.

If this is not enough, there are other ways.

She took out a water purification tablet she had bought before and threw it in.

Although the main functions of boiling water and water purification tablets are actually to kill insects and sterilize, it is better to have them than nothing.

After double purification, the acidic substances were evaporated to some extent, barely reaching the standard for drinking.

However, if the concentration of acid rain increases again in the future, this treatment may not be effective, and we can only rely on the water cards and mineral water traded before.

Li Yang thought about it and gave the water quality tester and water purification tablets to Jiang Xun, asking her to take them back and take more water from the river and boil it for later use while the acid rain concentration was not too high.

The people are fine now, but it's a pity for the vegetables that have just been planted.

As soon as one wave subsides, another wave rises. I don’t know whether they can survive and grow up.

The believers received definite answers and left with gratitude.

How full life was a week ago, how empty it is now.

Because of the impact of acid rain, everyone's time outdoors was greatly reduced, and most of the time they stayed indoors, helping Jiang Ming to make more pottery for storing water.

The planting team no longer needs to take care of the vegetable fields every day, and they suddenly have some free time. After their grief, they decided to shift their attention and return to their old business of weaving.

Perhaps it is because it has been rather boring these days that everyone has come up with a lot of stuff.

After seeing the goddess holding an umbrella, the believers began to follow suit. A few days later, Li Yang saw them studying raincoats and umbrellas.

Those who are clumsy with their hands cannot learn such delicate work, so they just try their best to go out and cut more bamboo and then ask others for help.
