"When?" Jiang Yan, who woke up, rubbed her eyes and looked at Xiao Yaodao, who was sitting in front of her.

"Half past three in the afternoon. Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and looked at it. They are walking on a mountain road that no one knows, there is no signal in this mountain, and the biggest use of this mobile phone is to see the time.

"I've slept for so long. Jiang Yan sat up, listening to the sound of rain outside, and said to Xiao Yao, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No, I'm gone. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "It's this time, the rain hasn't stopped yet, it is estimated that we won't be able to go down the mountain today, so we have to spend the night here." Before it gets dark, I'll go out and get some more wood to come in, I'm afraid it's not enough to burn overnight. ”

Fire is very important for survival in the wilderness. In addition to heating, it is also an important means of protecting against animals. Animals are generally afraid of fire, and the cave where they are now located has traces of bird and animal activity. If the fire goes out, there's no guarantee that a wild beast won't break in.

"I'd better go!" Jiang Yan also stood up and said.

"You just woke up, and it's easy to catch a cold when you go out to blow the wind. Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "And you've been there once, and now my clothes are all dry, it's my turn this time." With that, Xiao Yao put on his jacket and hat and walked out of the cave.

After a while, Xiao Yao came in with a big hug of branches. Xiao Yao is tall and has long arms and strength, and all he is looking for are the thicker and more burn-resistant branches, and the ones he found this time are estimated to be enough to burn overnight.

Seeing Xiao Yao coming back with a bunch of thick branches, Jiang Yan hurriedly removed the dry branches that had been dried but had not yet been added to the fire next to the fire, and asked Xiao Yao to put the newly found wet branches next to the fire to dry.

After solving the fuel problem at night, the two of them had nothing to do again. Since Xiao Yao was gone, Jiang Yan pulled him to chat again. When it was time for dinner in the evening, the two had dinner again in the cave. Jiang Yan brought a meal of dry food, although she ate it at noon and slept in the afternoon, but the rest of the food for dinner was still a little less. Fortunately, Xiao Yao brought a lot of chocolate energy bars and gave some to Jiang Yan, and the dinner between the two was also smoothly resolved.

By eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the rain outside had finally stopped. But at this time, it was already dark, neither of them had prepared flashlights and other lighting tools, the illumination of mobile phones was extremely limited, and the mountain road that had just rained was very slippery, and it was very dangerous to walk at night, so the two did not take any risks and stayed in the cave for the night.

Jiang Yan, who woke up, stretched comfortably, and found that the fire in the cave was still burning, and the sky outside the cave was already bright, and then she looked at Xiao Yao next to her, looking at her with a pair of big eyes.

"You haven't slept all night? Why didn't you wake me up? Jiang Yanqi said. Seeing Xiao Yao so energetic, it doesn't look like he hasn't slept all night, but looking at his neat body, his hair is not messy, and his eyes are very clear, and it doesn't look like he just woke up.

Sleeping in a cave in the wilderness, especially when the rain outside had stopped, neither of them dared to take it lightly, and originally discussed taking turns keeping vigil and taking care of the fire. Xiao Yao said that he kept the first half of the night, let Jiang Yan sleep first, wake her up at the end of the night, and then let her change herself to watch the second half of the night, but he didn't expect Jiang Yan to wake up and open her eyes, the sky was already bright.

"I saw that you slept so soundly, so I didn't call you. Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not like I haven't slept at all, I squinted for a while." But don't worry, I'm sleeping very lightly, and I'm watching the mouth of the cave. ”

Jiang Yan looked at the ground at the entrance of the cave and found that the entrance of the cave had a threshold forty or fifty centimeters high and piled up with branches, even if the animal could climb in, it was absolutely impossible to quietly not make a little noise, no wonder Xiao Yao dared to sleep with confidence.

"The rain has stopped, and the sky is bright, so let's go down the mountain as soon as possible. Xiao Yao packed up his things, greeted Jiang Yan, and walked out of the cave. Although the mountain road is still a little muddy and slippery after the rain, it is still possible to walk now that the sky is bright and the two of them are careful.

The two walked out of the cave, and the fresh air in the mountains in the early morning made people feel refreshed, and they couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

After identifying the direction, Jiang Yan led Xiao Yao down the mountain.

Jiang Yan, a private tour guide, is indeed very familiar with this area. An hour later, the two of them were out of the mountain and on the same road that led to the town when they had come the previous day.

The restaurant where Xiao Yao parked and the relative's house where Jiang Yan was staying were located in two different directions at the entrance of the town. After entering the town, it was time for the two to break up.

Before parting, Xiao Yao took out his wallet, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Jiang Yan and said, "I'm sorry for you, this is your tour guide fee." ”

"But you didn't even go to Huanglonggou. Jiang Yan didn't accept Xiao Yao's money, looked at him and said.

"I'm going back and coming back next time I get the chance. Xiao Yao smiled, "Although I didn't go to Chenghuanglonggou this time, it was because of the weather, not you." Your tour guide is very competent, next time I come, I will ask you to take me to evade the ticket and take the path. But if you don't, I'll be embarrassed to look for you next time. ”

"Oh well. Jiang Yan thought for a while, took the banknote handed by Xiao Yao, and stretched out the change from his pocket, as if he was looking for money.

"No need to look for it. Xiao Yao said, "You not only accompanied me for a day, but also stayed with me in the mountains for a night, and the more should be compensated for sleeping in the cave for one night." ”

"You also said that it was the weather, not you. Jiang Yan said, "You also went out to pick up wood yesterday, I also wore your clothes and ate your things, how can I make you compensate?"

"That's a tip, a reward for you!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Jiang Yan wanted to say something more, but the mobile phones on the two of them rang at the same time.

"That's it, goodbye!" Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone in one hand and raised Jiang Yan with the other, waving goodbye.

Xiao Yao heard that the ringtones of his mobile phone were all prompts for messages, not phone calls, so he was not in a hurry, so he went to the parking place to find it, and looked down at the information on his mobile phone.

"Damn!" After reading the first text message, Xiao Yao's brows furrowed, and he quickly dialed Ye Jiaying with a phone call.

As soon as the phone rang, it went through, and it seemed that the other side seemed to be guarding the phone all the time.

"Mom!" Xiao Yao just shouted, and there was a cheer on the other side of the phone.

"Bayi! Thank God!" Ye Jiaying shouted on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Yao heard Ye Jiaying's voice calling Xiao Siqi: "Siqi, Bayi is calling! It's Bayi's own voice!" Then Xiao Yao heard some noise over there, obviously Ye Jiaying switched the phone to hands-free mode.

"I just said, that kid from Bayi is so shrewd, he will definitely be fine!" Then, Xiao Siqi's seemingly calm but excited voice also came out.

"Go, are you so relieved that you won't be able to sleep all night?" Ye Jiaying said Xiao Siqi, and finally said to Xiao Yao again, "Bayi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Xiao Yao said, "What's the matter? 100,000 anxious to let me call you back?"

"What's the matter? Yesterday there was an earthquake in Wuyou County, Sichuan Province! The situation seems to be very serious!" Xiao Siqi said, "You told you that you still said that you went to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province to play, Jiuzhaigou is only a few dozen kilometers away from that Wuyou County, and it has also been affected by some influences, we are afraid that you will go to Wuyou County to play, and we are worried that something will happen to you." ”

"Yesterday, someone posted on Weibo that Wuyou County was earthquake, and I still saw that Wuyou County was only a few dozen kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, and I would call you immediately, but your phone has not been able to get through, so I called us again and said that you went to Jiuzhaigou to play, and asked if you had contacted us. Ye Jiaying continued, "We heard that you went to Jiuzhaigou, and we were also worried about death. Yesterday we talked to you on the phone for a day, but we couldn't get through, and we were so worried that we didn't sleep all night. Now I have booked a ticket to Sichuan Province today, and I am ready to come to Sichuan Province to find you!"

"Damn, there's really an earthquake!" Xiao Yao was shocked, and hurriedly said to the other side of the phone, "I'm fine, don't come, return the ticket, I'll go back immediately." I won't go back to Shencheng anymore, just go home. ”

"Okay, okay, we're not going, we're waiting for you to come back at home. Ye Jiaying said.

"What happened yesterday? Where did you go? Why can't you get through the phone all the time?" Xiao Siqi remembered his worries last night, and asked Xiao Yao again, "Although the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has been affected, the communication has not been interrupted, only the communication near Wuyou County is broken, so we will be so worried, afraid that you will run to Wuyou County." ”

"I didn't go to Jiuzhaigou, I came to Huanglonggou first, near the Huanglong Scenic Area. Xiao Yao recalled the map he had seen before, "Huanglong is farther away from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou from Wuyou County, more than 100 kilometers." I went to the mountains of Huanglonggou yesterday, I took a path where no one walked, there was no signal in the mountains, and it rained, so I couldn't get out of the mountains, so I stayed in the mountains all night, and only this morning did I go out of the mountains and return to a nearby town. ”

Xiao Siqi and his wife both knew that Xiao Yao had followed Chen Xuan to many places since he was a child, and the experience of spending the night in the mountains was not once or twice, and he had the experience and ability in this area. Just talking about spending the night in the mountains, they didn't worry too much, but the matter of falling off the cliff was too thrilling, so Xiao Yao didn't say anything.

"Okay, then you come back quickly and go home. Ye Jiaying said. Hearing that the place where Xiao Yao was staying was farther away from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou from Wuyou County, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were both relieved.

"Okay, I'll leave for the airport right now. Xiao Yao agreed and hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao was on the phone while walking, and after the call, Xiao Yao almost walked to his car. took out the car keys and pressed the car door, Xiao Yao threw his backpack into the trunk of the car, and sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Before he could start, Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure waving his hand and running over.

"Jiang Yan?" Xiao Yao didn't turn off the engine, but just pressed the window next to the driver's seat and stuck his head out.

"Mr. Xiao, Brother Xiao, please drive me to Wuyou County!" Jiang Yan rushed to Xiao Yao's car, held the door on the side of Xiao Yao's driver's seat with both hands, and gasped.

"What?Wuyou County?" Xiao Yao was startled, "Do you know that there was an earthquake in Wuyou County yesterday?"

"I know, I just found out after I went back!" Jiang Yan said anxiously, "It's because of the earthquake in Wuyou County that I'm going." My home is in Wuyou County, my parents and younger brother are at home, I can't contact them now, I'm worried, I'm going to go back to them!"

"Since yesterday, there is no shuttle bus to Wuyou County in the town, all the buses are evacuating people in the direction of Jiuhuang Airport and Chengdu, many tourists have to return after hearing the news, and those private cars that run transportation are not going to Wuyou County, I can't find a car to Wuyou County at all. The only person I know who has a car is you, can you please send me there?" Jiang Yan took out all the banknotes on her body with red eyes, "I'll give you the car money, and I'll give you all the money on my body as car money!"

"It's not about the money, you know I'm not short of money. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "You said it, now the people on Huanglong's side are afraid of being affected by the aftershocks, and they are retreating, and you have to run to the epicenter of Wuyou County, which is very dangerous!"

Xiao Yao comforted her and said: "The government department will definitely organize people to do the earthquake relief, so it's better for you to stay in a safe place and wait for the news." If you have any relatives or friends who live far away from Wuyou County, I can drop you off, but if you go to Wuyou County, I think it's better for you not to disturb the rescue team of people. ”

"There is a danger of aftershocks, but the government has sent people there to help, which means that the worst is past the worst of the time. Jiang Yanyu said with a crying voice, "Wuyou County is so big, there are so many people, where can the people sent by the government to rescue take care of it for a while, and they still have to ask the locals for help? I am a local, my family is there, I want to go there to find them, and I will also go there to help save the people in the county." ”

"I know that those who come to travel are afraid of danger and want to evacuate and go home," Jiang Yan continued to cry, "I don't want you to help me save people, as long as you send me to Wuyou County, you can drive back." I really couldn't find a car to go there, so I really couldn't help it. I also know that it is safer to stay outside, but if Brother Xiao and your family are in Wuyou County, can you stay outside in a safe place and wait for news obediently?"

After listening to Jiang Yan's last words, Xiao Yao remembered Ye Jiaying's words on the phone just now that they had booked a plane ticket to come to Sichuan Province to find him. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying must also know the truth they know, but they still booked a ticket without hesitation, if they were to change places and change themselves, I'm afraid they would make the same choice, right?

"Alas~" Looking at Jiang Yan who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, thinking about the friendship of getting along in the past two days and one night, Xiao Yao couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only sigh, shook his head and said, "Get in the car, I'll send you to Wuyou County!"

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Xiao!" Jiang Yan bowed to Xiao Yao several times in a row, and then ran to the co-pilot's side and pulled the car door and sat in.
