Chapter 332: Rain in the Mountains
"Ahh Jiang Yan was also surprised, "You are standing on the dirt ground, how can you feel that your feet are shaking?"
The word "Wenchuan" suddenly flashed in Xiao Yao's mind, and he shouted nervously: "It can't be an earthquake, right?"
In the previous life, the Wenchuan earthquake in 08 made Xiao Yao very impressed, although there was no Wenchuan earthquake in this life, but the place where he is now is also in Sichuan Province, and it seems that it is not too far from Wenchuan County.
"How is that possible?" Jiang Yan raised her eyes and looked at the calm surroundings, and said a little nervously, "Do you think this looks like an earthquake? Don't deliberately scare me!"
"yes, maybe it's something else, or maybe we're both hallucinating. Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Yan's nervous appearance, and didn't mention those two words to continue to stimulate her, looked up and said, "Where did we fall?
"It's okay, this area is not big, you can walk out. Jiang Yan said confidently, "Where do you want to go now?" Continue to Huanglonggou or go back to town?"
"Let's go back. Xiao Yao said, "Although we didn't suffer any injuries, but after this kind of accident, I don't have the interest to continue playing." Although he didn't mention it in his mouth, the shadow of the word "earthquake" had already left in Xiao Yao's heart, and he was ready to return to the town and set off directly back to Shencheng, Jiuzhaigou didn't want to go.
"Okay, then you come with me. Jiang Yan nodded, looked up at the surrounding environment, discerned the direction, and walked towards the northwest with Xiao Yao.
After walking for about an hour, the two of them had already come out of the dense forest where they had fallen. Although they were still in the mountains, their sights were much wider, and the environment was not much different from when they first came.
"I'm already familiar with this place, and I guess after walking for more than an hour, we can go out of the mountain and back to the town. Walking to a higher ground, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to Xiao Yao and smiled.
"That's good!" Xiao Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. I have more confidence in Jiang Yan, the private tour guide.
But sometimes God just doesn't fulfill people's wishes. As soon as Xiao Yao's words fell, a gust of wind blew, followed by a burst of thunder. The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw that a large dark cloud in the southeast had been blackened and pressed towards them.
"Damn, it's going to rain again, it's still sunny in the morning!" Xiao Yao shouted helplessly.
"No way, the weather in the mountains will change when you say it!" Jiang Yan also felt helpless, and turned her head to Xiao Yao and said, "This rain will definitely not be small, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first." The road is slippery when it rains, and it's too dangerous to walk on the mountain road!"
Although Xiao Yao wanted to fly back immediately at the moment, he also knew how dangerous it was to walk on the mountain road when it rained heavily, and the surroundings were calm, and he didn't feel the shaking of the ground under his feet for more than an hour, Xiao Yao's suspicion of the earthquake was much weaker, so he could only nod helplessly and agree, and followed Jiang Yan to find a place to hide from the rain.
The two of them walked about four or five hundred meters away, and the raindrops the size of beans fell.
Xiao Yao stopped Jiang Yan, took off the jacket on his body, handed it over and said, "Your clothes are not good, put this on, waterproof." ”
"What about you?" Jiang Yan covered her head with her palms on her head, didn't pick up Xiao Yao's clothes, and looked at him.
"My backpack is waterproof. Xiao Yao changed the backpack he took off to his chest and carried it on his back.
"What can a backpack cover? At most, your head and back are not covered. Jiang Yan said, "I don't want it, you better wear it yourself!"
"I'm in good health, it's okay to be drenched for a while!" Xiao Yao said, "I still expect you to lead the way and take me out, if you get gonorrhea, how can I go back?"
"That's it," Xiao Yao saw that Jiang Yan still didn't take the clothes, reached out and took off the hat on the jacket, put it on his head and said, "You wear my clothes big, pull them up to cover your head, I wear a hat and a backpack on my chest, so it doesn't matter if my back gets wet." ”
"Hurry up, otherwise the two of them will become soup chickens, and no one will have to wear them!" Xiao Yao roared again. Jiang Yancai reached out and took Xiao Yao's jacket with a grateful face, put it directly on the outside of his coat, and as Xiao Yao said, pulled up the wide clothes and covered his head.
The rain came so quickly and heavily that it didn't take long for the ordinary back to get soaked. Jiang Yan couldn't help but trot up in the rain with Xiao Yao. The two ran for nearly ten minutes before finally finding a cave where they could stay on a steep mountain wall.
The two ran into the cave, looked around, and found that the place was not bad. The cave is more than a dozen square meters in size, and it is relatively dry. The terrain is higher and higher as you go inward, so you don't have to worry about rain flowing in.
"This place is good, you take a rest, I'll build a fire, let's be warm. "Although it is summer now, the temperature in Aba Prefecture is not high, and the mountains are still cooler than outside, coupled with this rain, even Jiang Yan, who is not wet, feels a little cold, and is more worried about Xiao Yao, whose back is wet.
There are some traces of bird and beast activity in the cave, and there are also a lot of dry dead leaves and branches, which can be used to make fires. Jiang Yan ran to collect the dead leaves and pile them into a small pile, set up some dead branches on top of it, and then patted her head and said, "Oh no, I didn't bring a lighter." ”
"It's okay, I have!" Xiao Yao rummaged through his backpack, took out a lighter and said, "I'll come!"
Xiao Yao took out a pack of facial tissues from his pants pocket, took out one and lit it with a lighter, and then carefully put it into the pile of dead leaves. The dead leaves were ignited by paper towels, and after they were completely burned, the flames jumped up, and the dead branches on them were also ignited, and a small fire was blazing.
"yes!" Xiao Yao cheered, sat down against the fire, and rushed to Jiang Yan, who turned his head to collect dead branches in the inner part of the cave, "You also come over to warm up, Chai He won't run away with long legs, let's pick it up later!"
Jiang Yan walked over with a small handful of dead branches, put the dead branches in her hand next to the fire and said, "There are not many dry branches in the cave, and there are definitely not enough for us to burn." The branches outside are all wet now, so they have to be picked up and roasted aside, and then burned when they are dry. Otherwise, even if the wet branches can burn, the smoke will be too choking!"
"It's raining heavily outside, and the mountain road is dangerous, so I'd better go. Xiao Yao said, "You give me the jacket." ”
"Your clothes are all wet now, how can you wear them? Wet clothes are more likely to get sick when you cover them inside, so you better dry your clothes first. Jiang Yan said, "I've been playing on the mountain since I was a child, just looking for some branches nearby, and it's not going up and down the mountain, it's okay!"
"Wait!" Xiao Yao took off the jacket and hat on his head and said, "Put the hat on, you have to hold the branches, and you don't have the hands to pull the clothes on your head anymore." ”
"Okay!" Jiang Yan thought about it and nodded.
Jiang Yan reached out to pick up the hat in Xiao Yao's hand, but Xiao Yao stood up and shook her shoulder, making her turn away from her, and put the hat on the back collar of her clothes.
"The hat and the clothes were supposed to be together, and if you wear it like that, the rain will flow in the back collar. Xiao Yao said as he pretended.
After putting on his hat and telling him to pay attention to safety, Xiao Yao let Jiang Yan out of the cave.
Jiang Yan came out of the cave, and Xiao Yao sat back next to the fire.
Xiao Yao felt uncomfortable wearing wet clothes, and he was the only one in the cave now, so he simply took off his shirt and raised it to the fire to roast. As soon as his clothes were taken off, Xiao Yao, who was sitting by the fire, quickly warmed up, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.
About ten minutes later, just when Xiao Yao began to be a little worried, Jiang Yan came back with a handful of ** thick branches. Seeing Jiang Yan coming in, Xiao Yao quickly put on the clothes that were not completely dry.
"It's okay," Jiang Yan, who saw Xiao Yao's movements, put a pile of wet branches next to the fire and smiled, "The clothes are not dry, it is very uncomfortable to wear on the body, if you are embarrassed, I will sit with my back to you, and I will not look at you." As she spoke, she really sat with her back to Xiao Yao.
"It's okay, it's almost done. Xiao Yao smiled. Although the clothes were still a little damp, they were already much drier than when they first entered the cave, and Xiao Yao didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Jiang Yan didn't insist, turned around, took off the jacket on her body, shook the water droplets on it, and then handed it to Xiao Yao and said, "Thank you! This dress is really good, it's like a raincoat, it's not wet at all, and it's more breathable than a raincoat." ”
"The money is also very good!" As a result, Xiao Yao, who was in the jacket, smiled in his heart, but did not say it directly.
It was windy and rainy outside, and the two had nothing to do, so Jiang Yan sat by the fire and chatted with Xiao Yao.
"You should be from a big city, right?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "What's wrong?"
"But I feel like you're familiar with the mountains. Jiang Yan said, "I'm not saying that you are very familiar with this place, but you walk on the mountain road as if you are walking on flat ground, except for stopping to take pictures, when you walk, you don't slow down my speed at all, and the fire is also good, and when you encounter today's situation, the average city person has long panicked, but I think you seem to be more stable than me." ”
"I've been to a lot of places!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I've climbed the mountain many times, and I once spent the night in the mountain." This is not the first time that this kind of sudden rain has fallen in the mountains. ”
In terms of photography, Xiao Yao's earliest published works were in geographical photography magazines, but he made his debut as a geographical photographer. When he was wandering around with Chen Xuan, Xiao Yao not only learned photography skills, but also learned a lot of wilderness survival skills. I've been to the desert, and this kind of mountain is naturally no problem.
"Oh, where have you been?" Jiang Yan said with great interest.
"Deserts, grasslands, mountains, seashores, all kinds of places, both at home and abroad. Xiao Yao smiled.
"Have you ever been to a foreign country?" Jiang Yan said with wide eyes, "Then tell me what a foreign country is like, and what the desert and the sea are like? I have grown so big that I have never even been out of Aba Prefecture! We have grasslands, forests, and colorful ponds in Aba Prefecture, but there is no desert and sea." ”
"You should have a TV at home, haven't you seen it on TV?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"You're so boring!" Jiang Yan said dissatisfiedly, "I'm usually very busy with studying, and I go to help my parents work when I have free time, so I don't have much time to watch TV." ”
"No wonder you don't know me!" Xiao Yao said in his heart.
"Okay, what do you want to hear, I'll tell you!" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Just pick up the one you think is the most interesting. Jiang Yan bent her legs and rested her chin on her knees, as if she was listening to a story.
Xiao Yao picked up some interesting things that he experienced when he was learning photography and wandering around with Chen Xuan and told her, but he just concealed his age at that time.
The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, it was noon, and the two began to feel hungry. The rain outside did not abate, and the two still couldn't go out. Fortunately, they were going to go out all day, so they brought food and water in their backpacks, and Xiao Yao brought a lot of chocolate energy bars and other foods, so there was no problem even if they ate two meals. Xiao Yao's backpack is waterproof, Jiang Yan's backpack is covered by Xiao Yao's jacket, and the food itself is also packaged in plastic bags, all of which are still very well preserved.
Since they had something to eat and drink, the two of them opened their backpacks and took out food and water and began to eat lunch.
After falling off a cliff, trekking on mountain roads, and getting drenched in the rain, not many people can still hold on. As soon as lunch passed, my stomach was full, and the excitement almost passed. At this time, the cave was warm, and with the hypnotic sound of rain outside the cave, a wave of tiredness swept over the two of them. Xiao Yao was a little better, and Jiang Yan yawned directly.
"Look at it like this, this rain can't stop for a while, or you can sleep for a while, I'll call you when the rain stops!" Xiao Yao said to Jiang Yan, who yawned and began to rub his eyes.
"Well, we'll take turns. Jiang Yan nodded and said, "I'll sleep for a while, and I'll get up for you later." With that, Jiang Yan lay down on her side against the fire, used her backpack as a pillow, and closed her eyes.
