Chapter 26: Flash Floods
"Brother Shaolong, why don't you ask the owner of the house in front of you to see if there is a place nearby that can provide us with accommodation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xu Meng pulled Liang Shaolong's clothes, summoned his attention, and said softly to Liang Shaolong.
"Then I'll give it a try." With that, Liang Shaolong stepped forward and walked over.
"Big sister. Hello, where can you find a hotel in this place? Liang Shaolong walked up to the woman and asked in a low and respectful voice.
"You're coming in from the outside?" The woman looked up at the two girls in front of her eldest brother dressed pretexously, and a young man dressed up beautifully in men's clothes, and she couldn't tell the man or woman, and the ordinary-looking man in front of her.
"yes, we're here for something, and we're looking for a place to settle down first.
"We are very taboo for outsiders here, we don't like outsiders to live at home, and there are no hotels in our town, so let's see that you are all children, and it is not easy to come all the way, so let's show you a place if you think you can, you can go there for a few days temporarily."
"It's okay, eldest sister, we just need a place where we can shelter from the wind and cold, there are not so many requirements."
"You go up from this road to the west mountain, where there is a house, which is the yamen left over from our county seat, and has been deserted since liberation, if you don't mind, you can go there and stay for a few nights." The woman looked degraded, though. But he looked very young and beautiful, and Pear Blossom's tearful face pointed out to Liang Shaolong a place where they could temporarily lie on the couch.
"I've heard it, there's hope ahead, cheer up, let's go." Liang Shaolong walked up to Feng Xiaoyu and said.
"Then let's hurry up and try to get to the place as soon as possible." Feng Xiaoyu also agrees with Liang Shaolong's opinion, in this weird place, it's best not to wander around at will, danger is everywhere, maybe they will be tricked if they are not careful.
Regarding Feng Xiaoyu and Liang Shaolong's words, the two girls also understood people, and immediately expressed their support, without any emotions or opinions.
After walking for a while, Feng Xiaoyu found the destination of the woman before. This is a county office, very old, mostly built of wood, and when you walk here, you can smell a slight smell of mold. As you can imagine, the perennial humid and harsh climate has soaked the houses here with a musty smell, and some of the wood has been crawling with green mold balls.
The county government is not big, but it has a different flavor when you look at it from a distance, next to the county office, there is a poplar tree growing next to it. There has always been a saying among the people, that is, it is best not to plant willows or poplars at the door, because it is easy to attract ghosts, and some experienced old people in the folk are particularly taboo about these.
Although the county government has declined, it is better than all organs.
The drum of grievances sounded, and the county government hall that could be seen from the outside, as well as the plaque with these four words hanging high in the mirror and the three classes and six rooms in the inner courtyard. But after Feng Xiaoyu and her family went, they found that most of the tools of the county government had been discarded in the warehouse, and the place was transformed into a primary school, in which there were still some tables, chairs and some big-character posters, written with those typical propaganda slogans of the previous Anti-Japanese War era, and a few new youth books.
Feng Xiaoyu didn't expect that there were still those things from the Anti-Japanese War here. A few scattered old books were still commonly read by intellectuals during the Republic of China at that time.
"Although it's a bit messy here, the environment is not bad, let's clean up here and stay tonight." Feng Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding layout and felt that there was no problem, so he opened his mouth and said to Liu Siyu and the others.
In this way, the four of them were busy until noon to clean the place, and they barely regained their previous quaintness.
"I'm tired to death....... Xu Meng has no image of a beauty, and her body is directly lying on a chair to rest.
Feng Xiaoyu stood at the door of the county hall and looked at the opposite peak, in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" Liu Siyu walked in front of Feng Xueyu and looked at him and asked suspiciously.
"Look, the four boulders of the two peaks on the opposite side of the Children's Palace, you see that one looks like an elephant! And that piece, isn't it particularly like a tiger, and that piece, like an old turtle! Look at the last piece, isn't it particularly like a green cow! Feng Xueyu pointed to the opposite peak, and the four huge boulders sitting on the top of the mountain introduced Liu Siyu.
The opposite side of the county government was empty, it was facing west, and directly opposite it, there was a huge hill facing each other. In the middle of the hills and the county government is a desolate land sandwiched between some sparse groves.
"It's really like, could those stone statues be artificially carved artistic stone carvings?"
"No, because they are all naturally formed, tempered by thousands of years of wind and rain, they are all masterpieces of God." The more he talked, the more excited he became, and suddenly, he ran into the house, put on his backpack, and ran towards the huge hill opposite.
"Xiaoyu, why are you going?" Behind Feng Xueyu, there was a panicked shout of Liu Siyu and the others.
"I'm going there, I'm going to see those four beast statues." Feng Xiaoyu was like a demon at this moment, and he was unswerving about his purpose.
"Let's catch up, or they'll get lost." Liang Shaolong pulled the two girls and chased after Feng Xiaoyu, who was running quickly forward.
All the way to the west, the four of them ran towards the west, bypassing the winding ancient roads, and running towards the barren mountains and mountains on the other side of the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain, there are two huge twin peaks facing each other, and the middle gate is closed, and the middle of it is only 30 steps in between. Because of the steep geomorphological environment of the two mountain peaks, such a huge natural hazard has been formed, a deep canyon that does not know where it leads, and the white and white fog is filled.
Not only is the terrain precipitous, but the environment is also particularly harsh, due to its tropical location, the subtropical humid fantasy. Miasma breeds here, and mosquitoes, insects, rodents and ants are abundant. The night was shrouded in a white mist, and the crows were screaming, which was terrible.
At this moment, the disaster suddenly struck, and several huge rumbling sounds sounded, as if thunder and lightning were intertwined and exploded, and suddenly the mountain collapsed, and a huge turbid yellow water came out of nowhere and flapped towards the peaks on both sides of the gate. The flash flood erupted suddenly, converging into a river that surged from above the two peaks to the canyon below.
