Chapter 319: An Accident Happens, a Thrilling Escape
In the summer of the twenty-second year of Yongshou, Dawei experienced unprecedented heat, and the heat that lasted for two weeks almost cracked the ground. Mei Yanshan was very irritable in the house, secretly got rid of the maidservant, and ran alone to the small lonely mountain outside the city to play. Unexpectedly, Feng Qishi also followed her to Xiaogu Mountain with her back and forth, and when Mei Qishan was pulling a bird's nest on a plane tree, Feng Qishi poked his head out under the tree and waved and smiled at her.
As soon as Mei Yanshan saw him, she was annoyed, snorted, slipped down the tree, turned around and went down the mountain.
Feng Qishi also hurriedly followed.
"Don't follow me!" Mei Yanshan couldn't shake him off, and turned her back with an annoyed glare.
Feng Qishi smiled stupidly as he was: "Sister, hug!"
He stretched out his hand and wanted to carry Mei Yanshan up the tree as before, just now he saw Mei Yanshan playing in the tree!
Mei Yanshan slapped him away, with a look of disgust: "Whoever wants you to hug, I will leave myself." โ
She has practiced light exercises this year, and she can already climb the tree very easily, and she no longer needs to rely on his help, let alone use him as a human staircase.
Feng Qishi was rejected, and his slightly dull face showed a trace of loss and sadness, but he still quickly followed Mei Yanshan away. If Mei Yanshan stops, he will stop, and when Mei Yanshan leaves, he will go!
Mei Yanshan walked faster and faster, and in the end, he had to run to barely keep up with Mei Yanshan.
Soon, the two came down from the small lonely mountain.
There is a river under Xiaogu Mountain, called Jilan River, the river water is divided into two streams through Xiaogu Mountain, one flows to the mirror lake in the capital, and the other flows to the west, and flows into the Litao River. The river, the main source of irrigation in the suburbs of Beijing, has always been well protected, and many dikes have been built around the river to allow the river to collect.
The two of them came down from the small lonely mountain, and to go to the city, they had to pass through the Jilan River, which was upstream, and the river was very shallow, and only a simple small wooden bridge was built, which was less than a zhang above the water.
When she was about to reach the bridge, Mei Yanshan didn't pay attention, and stepped on the cow dung on the side of the road, and when she arrived at the bridge, she was not happy to smell the stench on her feet, so she immediately took off her shoes and sat on the bridge to wash her shoes. The sun is so big on my head, and the river under my feet is smaller than before because of the drought, but the water temperature is icy and cold, and it is very comfortable to rush on my feet. Mei Yanshan washed her shoes, and was greedy for a while, so she simply soaked on the bridge for a while.
Feng Qishi saw her stop to wash her feet, and sat down beside her, taking off his shoes to soak his feet.
Mei Yanshan mentioned that she had been walking for so long, and she was also tired, and she was too lazy to take care of him, so Feng Qishi sat down beside her smoothly. He reached out to shake Mei Yanshan's hand as before, Mei Yanshan shook him off, put his hand on his knee, he flattened his mouth, and then followed her example and put his hand on his knee, looking at the valley exit in front of him in a daze like her.
This appearance is really quiet and well-behaved, and Mei Yanshan didn't blame him for anything.
She thought about what happened in Biling Academy before, and thought that if it weren't for him, she would have been studying hard in the academy at this time, instead of being like now, she could only invite her husband to come to her home to teach.
Mei Yanshan remembered Mei Xiangrong's deeply furrowed brows and sighed.
Dad didn't like her very much, but since she got into so much trouble, he didn't have a good face for her anymore.
She held her chin and couldn't help but say to herself: "I don't want to be like this, I also want to be obedient, study hard, and be a productive person like a big brother." But I don't want to be trapped in the mansion all day long, like those boring ladies in Beijing, rotten in my own home when I am not married, and rotten in my husband's house when I am married, how boring!"
She sighed: "If only I were a man, I would be like my eldest brother, wandering around the ends of the earth, going wherever I want, how good!"
Thinking about this possibility, her mind began to fantasize uncontrollably.
The two sat on the bridge for nearly an hour, Mei Yanshan was thinking about her own thoughts, Feng Qishi was dumbfounded, neither of them noticed that the sky above them had changed unconsciously.
I don't know when, the heat was covered by dark clouds, and a wind with the cold of the mountains blew towards them, and Mei Yanshan shivered.
Several peasants passed by the two of them, saw them soaking their feet in the river, and kindly persuaded: "Little master, little girl, the sky is going to change, go home quickly, so as not to worry the adults." โ
"Changing the sky?" said Mei Yanshan, repeating neerly.
A few people nodded: "Yes, it's going to rain." โ
"After so many days of drought, it's finally going to rain. I hope it's bigger, so that the crops in the field can live!"
One of them sighed, and several of them left quickly together, leaving Mei Yanshan and Feng Qishi staring at each other in place.
"It's raining, go home!" Feng Qishi looked at Mei Yanshan nervously: "Get wet, you'll get sick!"
Mei Yanshan hummed, reluctantly soaked her feet in the river, and slowly got up to put on her shoes. As soon as I put on a shoe, the raindrops the size of beans have already fallen on my head and face.
The farmer was right, it was raining, or it was a heavy rain as he had hoped. But in the blink of an eye, the entire Xiaogu Mountain was shrouded in a rain curtain, and the blazing ground was hit by raindrops, and immediately rose up misty water vapor, and the road from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain was faintly invisible, and all the scenery was buried in the mist. The rain was so heavy that I couldn't open my eyes, and there was a strange color in the silence around me.
Mei Yanshan is young and a girl, she was stunned for a moment, and then panicked, and subconsciously grabbed Feng Qishi's hand tightly.
Feng Qishi was shocked by thunder and was also afraid, but he didn't let go of Mei Yanshan, but instead pulled him to the bridge: "Heavy rain, hide!"
Mei Yanshan was reminded by him, nodded again and again, and the two hurriedly put on their shoes and rushed to the bridge hand in hand.
On the other side of the bridge there is a small piece of farmland, and near the woods, there is a small canopy built by a farmer for the night to rest.
The two ran into the canopy and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the two of them were drenched, their hair sticking to their faces, and they looked particularly embarrassed. Dodging the raindrops, his spirit immediately relaxed, pointing at the other party's ugly appearance and giggling.
As soon as she raised her hand, Mei Yanshan found that she was still holding Feng Qishi tightly, only to remember that she was still angry, and she hated this person very much, so she snorted with a cold face and shook Feng Qishi's hand away.
Feng Qishi's face showed grievance, but he still stretched out his hand to pull him: "Sister, I'm afraid!"
"You're going to be crowned, I'm still afraid of a little rain, is there any future!"
"Sister, I'm afraid!" Feng Qishi insisted on looking at her and said.
Mei Yanshan snorted again, and was about to open her mouth to mock, when she suddenly reacted to what he meant, he was not afraid of rain, it turned out that what he meant by that sentence was that Mei Yanshan was afraid of rain!
Her heart softened, and she didn't break free from Feng Qishi.
The two of them quietly sheltered from the rain in the small canopy, but the rain showed no signs of stopping, but the clouds above them became thicker and thicker, and the sky darkened.
The two hid for more than an hour, and they couldn't even see the road not far away, and they didn't know when they would hide before they could go home, so they were anxious. Especially Mei Yanshan, today she ran out to play and only told the housekeeper Mei Kaiyuan, and she didn't even say Mei Ruanyi. She thought that she would be able to go back before dark, and before Mei Xiangrong went home, she didn't know it, but at the moment, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to go to Mei Xiangrong to return to Mei's house for dinner, and when the time came, her father found that she was gone, and she had to be beaten with a board.
Mei Yanshan touched her buttocks, the injuries in the past were faintly painful, and she was very anxious: "Anyway, it's all wet, or let's go back in the rain, right?"
"Uh-huh. Feng Qishi didn't understand anything, so naturally he wouldn't object.
The two of them came out of the small canopy hand in hand and walked on the ridge, which was very slippery after being wet by the rain, and walked very slowly.
Feng Qishi was afraid that Mei Yanshan would fall, so he naturally walked behind Mei Yanshan to protect her, and the two figures looked small in the wind and rain.
Just as the two of them were cautiously crossing the field, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind them. Mei Yanshan raised her head and asked Feng Qishi behind her blankly: "What sound?"
Feng Qishi shook his head, and Mei Qishan didn't expect him to turn back. The sound came from the valley behind her, and she naturally looked back at the valley. In the mist, I could only vaguely see a yellow line moving rapidly to this side, and where the earthy yellow line crossed, the trees trembled violently, and some small trees were directly pushed down, and this is how the terrible rumbling sound came out.
Mei Yanshan stared, suddenly understood what it was, grabbed Feng Qishi's hand and ran: "Run, climb, torrent!"
Feng Qishi didn't understand what a flash flood was, but when he saw Mei Yanshan's face turned white, he pulled himself and ran, he was nervous about Mei Yanshan, and naturally he ran fast.
At the moment, she couldn't care about anything, Mei Yanshan ran wildly with the hem of her clothes, the mud on the field was a little soft, she stumbled when she ran, and almost fell into the field several times.
Feng Qishi unexpectedly ran very steadily, reaching out to help her from time to time, and when the earthy yellow line advanced towards the two, the two finally reached the end of the rice field.
Mei Yanshan picked up the high and low and rushed over, shouting Feng Qishi as she ran: "Feng Qishi, run, run quickly!"
Obviously it is only a short distance, it doesn't rain on weekdays, Mei Yanshan can run in a few breaths, but today I feel that this road is very far, finally, when the huge water flow hits this rice field, Mei Yanshan and Feng Qishi rushed up the hillside of the field, just stood firm by the stone on the draped field, the huge water has been swept over the canopy where the two of them had just sheltered from the rain, overflowed the field, and swept everything to the valley mouth!
Mei Yanshan looked at the rushing flood with a pale face, and patted her chest in a thrilling way, fortunately, she was afraid of her father and made up her mind to go home in the rain, if she was still in that canopy, where would she still be alive at this moment?
Feng Qishi also followed her example, and patted his chest in fright.
But the moment he raised his hand, an accident happened!
