Chapter 408: We Don't Have a Choice

"It's a trivial matter, but the mountain stream may still swell," his companion interrupted him in a faint tone, "It's not a big problem to build a bridge, and we can all work together." ”

There was a slight hesitation in his tone: "It's just that I'm afraid that halfway through the erection, the stream will flood the bridge again." "In that case, wouldn't we be spending our efforts in vain."

The companion's tone sounded a little more cautious.

Rushing in the mountains, the most afraid of encountering bad weather, unfortunately encountered, really have to ask for more blessings.

Not to mention being blocked on the road, it is possible for the carriage to overturn on the mountain road.

After a brief silence, the man came up with a countermeasure that sounded calmer than the one who spoke first: "At least wait until the rain stops." "What do you think about the situation on the side of the bridge before we can work together to get the road open?"

After a pause, his companion replied, "Yes, that's right. ”

"But the rain really can't stop for a while, and the mountain road is muddy."

Speaking of which, manpower seems small in front of God after all!

The answer sounded helpless: "There is no other good way, for the time being, it can only be one word - wait!" ”

Their group of people talked to each other in the front hall.

I listened very clearly, and Wu Yu, who was staying by my side, listened intently.

At the end of the conversation, there is still a key point, and there is no way to do it, that is, wait.

I quietly moved my body and took a few steps back. Looking up, Wu Yu beside me imitated the same movements as me.

"Xiaoyu, you heard what those people said. Did you hear it all? I lowered my voice and looked at Wu Yu and asked.

She nodded, glancing wistfully at the rain in the courtyard.

She turned her head to look at me and said, "Xiaolin, according to what they said, there is a problem with the bridge on the other side of the mountain road, but I don't know which side of the road is now." ”

This point was not mentioned in the conversation of the people in the front hall, but it may have been mentioned before. But at that time, our focus was still on the hot soup that was cooking!

There was no time to be distracted to listen to the movements of the front hall. "Xiaolin, which side do you guess it will be?" Wu Yu asked.

I wasn't sure where they were saying, and after a long moment of silence, I looked at Wu Yu and said, "I don't know the location." But the rain was so strong that many of them said that they couldn't solve the bridge problem, and said that they would have to wait for the rain to light up before they started. ”

"As for us, we can't leave the Mountain Temple for the time being." My gaze fell on Wu Yu's face and said. "It doesn't matter which side they say it's on."

In my opinion, it is indeed impossible to judge.

However, the result is the same, you can't get out of here in a short time!

The main reason is that the weather is not good, we don't have a choice.

Wu Yu's tone was quite worried: "But as soon as the time is delayed, I don't think the rain will stop until it gets dark." ”

Wu Yu's eyes turned to me: "Xiaolin, I have a cloth, do you think I should go out of the temple and walk a little way to the front?" ”

She said that in front of her was the road I had traveled. The road to the direction of Suzhou.

When I took a "hitchhiker" from Suzhou, I came down halfway down the road and chose a shortcut.

Took a shortcut from the path beside the river. Then, also because of the road conditions, I walked back through the forest up the hill and walked back to the avenue.

As soon as she said that, I tried to think about it.

After thinking about it, I felt that the words of those people in the front hall revealed the message between the words that were closer to the road I was going to take, that is, the section of road leading to the direction of Nanhua Town.

As for the robe, my eyes turned to the coat that Wu Yu had set aside under the corridor.

The water on it was already half-dry, but it was obviously a little hard to fight the heavy rain outside with such a rudimentary raincoat.

I think Wu Yu If she goes out in such a robe, I'm afraid that her body will get wet again in less than half an hour.

It would have been nice to have another umbrella.

I told Wu Yuyi, she shook her head and said embarrassedly: "Xiaolin, I left Nanhua Town in a hurry and forgot to bring an umbrella. “

The rain is too heavy to go out.

What's more, we will go in a different direction next.

When you are alone on the road, the top priority is to ensure your health, in case you get sick, you don't even have someone around to take care of you. "Don't go, Xiaoyu, stay here in peace," I stopped her, and changed my tone, "The road they said, I think it might be the direction I'm coming from." “

I stated my guess to Wu Yu, and when she heard this, she also thought about it, and then looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, it is true that you have to pass through the stream from the mountains to the plains, it seems that what you said also makes sense." “

She had walked that part of the road, and the road conditions were clearer than mine.

No wonder the people in that village on the plains will move away, just look at the weather, and you will know that it is not yet flood season!

I nodded and said, "Then you don't have to think too much, if it gets dark and the rain hasn't stopped, let's stay in the mountain temple honestly." "Actually, even if it's me, I don't think I need to worry too much!"

Wu Yu looked at me in amazement, as if he couldn't understand what I was thinking at the moment.

I reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "The people in the front hall, if they were talking about the part of the road I was going to take, they would definitely go to build the bridge before dawn." ”

I said firmly: "Xiaoyu, you didn't listen to their tone, you are much more anxious than me." "If you're planning to rush to Nanhua Town," I paused and pursed my lips to continue, "they're pressed for time, and they can't wait. “

Wu Yu pondered for a moment, looked at me and fixed his gaze and said, "Xiaolin, it seems that what you said is right, we have to stay in the broken temple until dawn with peace of mind." "It's nice and quiet, and no one bothers us." She smiled at me, looking at me with bright eyes. "Don't say this so early, who knows if anyone will come here before dark?"

I muttered in a low voice, "There are no signs of entry to the Mountain Temple. Those who want to take shelter from the rain can come. "Xiaoyu, let's finish drinking the hot soup, hurry up and pack it up." lest they be seen later and covet the dry food you have brought. “

As a food protector, I think this is more important.

The amount of dry food on the road is limited, and Wu Yu's back is also hard, in case someone who comes with a force value much higher than ours, maybe he will use it to rob it.

That's not good!

Don't blame me for thinking too much, it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened. In the wilderness, who told you about the king's law!

When you are in trouble, you often have the upper hand with a hard fist. "Good. Listen to you, Kobayashi. “

Wu Yu's expression froze, and he immediately began to clean up the pots and stoves on the ground, and we filled our stomachs. It's time for reasoning to get to work, too.

I can help this time.

I watched as Wu Yu set the pot aside. Begin to dismantle the stove she had set up.

For a few seconds I thought about stopping her, but then I thought that the bread in my baggage would be enough for me to have another meal with her tomorrow morning.

Before dark tomorrow night, I should be able to reach Nanhua Town, and Wu Yu will be able to reach Suzhou City smoothly.

So, I thought about it, and instead of stopping her, I rushed into the rain in the same way as she had done before, and brought the bucket from the well in the backyard that she used to draw water.

The two men poured water and cleaned the pot and the bowl for drinking. He carefully cleaned up the traces left by Wu Yu's removal of the simple stove on the ground.

Except for the fragrance that temporarily diffused in the air, which could not be dispersed for a while, there was no other trace to be seen.

Even if the next group of people arrives. At most, people will think that the person who stayed before has been warmed by a fire.

With such heavy rain, it's normal to make a fire, and some people's clothes get wet and may need to be taken off to dry!

Both of us moved very fast, and we cooperated tacitly, Wu Yu looked at me in between work and asked with a smile: "Xiaolin, I can't see it!" “

I know what she means, it's a compliment to my work.

I responded to her: "It's been a long time since I came out, and I've practiced all the things that run around." ”

I smiled and said, "As long as everything is complete, I have no problem getting food." ”

"When I first started, I couldn't imagine that I could do it."

Unconsciously opened the conversation box and told Wu Yu what he thought. "I'm not the same," Wu Yu sighed, "My father went to Xilannan, and my brother Wulin took care of me at home. ”

"But he's not good at cooking," Wu Yu paused, his eyebrows crooked, "I've always been here for these things, and the things he cooks aren't very tasty." “

Wu Yu grinned. "Hey, Xiaoyu, your father is a doctor in Nanhua Town, haven't you often watched him make medicine since you were a child? Do you know how to do medicine? “

I asked casually.

Wu Yu thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Xiaolin, I know a little bit about fur, but my brother knows more than me, and he follows his father to the clinic a lot, and he will see the general illness after a long time." "My brother also has an advantage," Wu Yu said in a praising tone, "He has a very good memory, so my father is very willing to teach him." "Does your brother look like you?" I heard you say you're twins! "No, my brother's appearance is most similar to the way I dressed up right now, but his skin is not so dark and yellow, and I deliberately applied it like this." "I know." I replied briefly.

Wu Yu wiped the delicate little pot clean and put it into her own baggage, looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, do you want me to give you some of the medicinal juice on your face?" "No, I made it myself, thank you." I looked at Wu Yu with gratitude.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the backyard fell silent again, and only the sound of wind and rain could be heard.

Although the two of them can still be companions in the mountain temple when it rains heavily tonight, at most they will go their separate ways until tomorrow morning.

However, the depression was quickly relieved, and the moment I looked up, I took a deep breath because she and I were both optimistic people.

Walking on the road, facing the fleeting melancholy of the separation that would soon arrive, fortunately, she and I immediately regained our composure, and the tone of the conversation was a little more cordial than before. "It's a fate to meet thousands of miles away, maybe it's not necessarily where we'll meet every once in a while."

Wu Yu looked at me for a few seconds and muttered in a low voice, as if to comfort me and herself. "That's right, I've been meeting all kinds of people on the road since I came out."

I raised my hand and tapped the pillar in front of me with my knuckles, "Some people will miss when they leave, and I think they are friends to make friends. "It's just that I went to a different place and took a different path," my gaze fell on the distant sky, "and it was inevitable to regret it." "By the way, Xiaoyu, you made the cotton robe on your body?"

I withdrew my gaze and stayed on her, the cotton robe that was similar to mine was startled when I first met!

Now that I think about it, I just asked.

At this age, most girls in ancient times were good at female popularity.

In fact, it is not a big problem to make a robe when you have enough time.

I still remember when I was in Qibei, the beautiful clothes that Cui'er helped me make were much more exquisite than those sold in ready-to-wear shops on the street! "No, I bought it at the ready-to-wear store on Nanhua Town Street," Wu Yu probably thought of the scene when he came in, and a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

She winked at me and explained, "I'm in a hurry, and I don't have time to make clothes." “

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowed down her tone and said, "Xiaolin, when my brother went south to find my father, he took all his own clothes with him. ”

"I looked carefully for my brother's clothes at home before I went out," she paused, and then continued, "and the rest of the house is old." ”

"I tried to put it on, and it doesn't fit well on my body," Wu Yu's lips unconsciously smiled, "In that case, it's better to just buy it directly." "It's really a coincidence," I tugged at the corners of my mouth and said in a calm tone, "I also bought it at a ready-to-wear store on Suzhou Street." "I'm thinking about this coincidence, maybe it's the same kind of fabric that happens to be in the ready-to-wear stores on both sides, and this is the most likely."

I frowned and thought for a moment before answering. "But what's the matter with the baggage you're carrying?"

I asked again, looking at the large bag, which looked similar to the bag I was carrying. "It's the same, it's all from the ready-to-wear store," Wu Yu couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, she looked at me with a smile and said, "When I bought clothes, I brought a bag by the way." ”

I'm too lazy to sigh about the word "qiao" anymore, because I don't need it, the facts are obvious!

"When I got home, I saw that the material was sturdy and dirt-resistant," she recalled, "and I thought it was pretty good." ”

"When I was about to take something with me, I looked left and right, and I thought that the coarse fabric given by the store was the most suitable, so I used it directly."

I looked at Wu Yu dumbfounded.

I thought that at about the same time, in different places, two girls of the same age approached the ready-to-wear store and bought almost the same thing.

It's a wonderful thing to say. (To be continued.) )
