【Chapter 113】 Heavy rain

Liu Rui, Qiu Rong, and Fu Xiaoqiang were crammed into a small tent, and it was impossible to lie down, so the three of them could only sit cross-legged in the small tent, killing time.

After eating dinner just now, there was no time to clean up, and with the rumbling thunder, the raindrops the size of beans began to drip down. The whole expedition team threw their backpacks and bags into the tent in a very embarrassed way, and then everyone got in.

The blazing bonfire was extinguished by the heavy rain in a short time, and even a little green smoke could not come out, and the pit where the fire was burning was already filled with rainwater. The inky black sky seemed to have been pierced by someone, pouring water endlessly, and suddenly the whole world became a world of raindrops.

The sound of the wind whistling outside the tent seemed to tear the air, and the raindrops in the air slammed into the tent with a rapid sound. The rain crackled down on the tent, as if it wanted to break through the entire tent. Fortunately, this boulder is not in the wind, otherwise with a few nails fixed on the ground, it is really not enough to fix the tent.

Liu Rui was a little lucky, fortunately there were still four tents left, otherwise he would be drenched by this rain, I am afraid that at least half of the members of the investigation team would have a cold and fever. After all, in the wild, heavy rain, low temperatures, hunger and other factors are very severe tests for everyone.

After a snow-white lightning click, a loud rumbling sound finally broke into Liu Rui's ears a few seconds later, and Liu Rui could even feel that the boulder under his butt seemed to be trembling. Perhaps, this lightning bolt struck the nearby mountains, which would bring Liu Rui such a shocking feeling.

In the past, listening to the thunder at home, Liu Rui always had a lively mood, but now in this stormy tent, Liu Rui is more helpless. It is only before the great power of nature that people will feel their own insignificance and have more reverence for nature.

Through the transparent window of the tent, through the faint light between the two tents, Liu Rui saw that the raindrops were like bead curtains with broken threads, falling to the ground one by one, and there was no gap in sight. In the whole heaven and earth, it seems that except for the raindrops, the rest is still raindrops.

Fortunately, the waterproof surname of the tent can be very good, even if there is already a tumultuous running water around, Liu Rui in the tent still did not find any water leaking in, which made him feel a little relieved.

The ground of this boulder was higher than the surrounding area, and the rain that flowed from the forest did not wash up the boulder, but obediently turned around the edge of the boulder, and then ran from the usual passage to the valley.

"It's so boring, or let's play cards!" Qiu Rong took out a deck of cards from his backpack and suggested.

"Three people, how do you play?" Liu Rui was a little puzzled, it was really difficult for three people to play cards.

"Let's fight the landlord, the three of us are just right!" Qiu Rong is from Chengdu, and naturally wants to carry forward the landlords who have been widely spread in Sichuan.

In the past, the three of them got together to play landlords when they were resting, but today Meng Nan's big man was assigned to another tent to live with the small Yu Shanwei, and Qiu Rong had no choice but to regard Liu Rui as a new development target.

"Fight the landlord, haven't you played, tell me about the rules?" Liu Rui was a little interested.

In the past, the main thing about playing cards on Aoyama's side was to upgrade, from one deck of cards to five or six decks of cards, and the number of people ranged from four to eight, and it was very lively. It was the first time for Liu Rui to hear about the way to play the landlord, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Seeing Liu Rui's expression, Qiu Rong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to turn on the light on the top of the tent, took out the playing cards and began to explain the rules of fighting landlords to Liu Rui. Qiu Rong is a veteran of playing cards, so he naturally knows these rules very well, and it is naturally not too difficult to explain.

Liu Rui, although it was the first time to contact the landlord, but with his little head and Qiu Rong's in-depth explanation, he quickly figured out the principle. Of course, if you want to become a master, you have to go through continuous practice to make it possible.

After chattering for a while, after Liu Rui basically understood the rules of fighting landlords, the three of them began to play.

Outside the tent was wind and rain, lightning and thunder, although the tent was small, but the warm and warm light made Liu Rui feel warm.

Perhaps, this huge contrast will make people feel the hardships and beauty of life, and know how to cherish it more.

At the beginning, Liu Rui, who was not very familiar with the rules of fighting landlords, often made mistakes and lost a lot, but as time went by, Liu Rui gradually found his senses, and he won and lost with Qiu Rong and others. Playing cards is like this, it's fun to be evenly matched, and the three of them play more and more happily, almost forgetting the passage of time.

"The battery seems to be out of power, Xiaoqiang hurriedly found one to replace it!" As it flickered, the light of the bulb gradually dimmed, and the red filament could be seen with the naked eye.

Each tent will be equipped with a small battery as a power source, usually this bulb is at most turned on when you fall asleep, where will it be like Liu Rui today, used to play cards? Fortunately, several tents were destroyed, and a few batteries were left as backups. Considering that they can go home tomorrow, Qiu Rong and the others did not think of the problem of saving electricity, and they can use it vigorously.

Fu Xiaoqiang, who was next to him, put down the cards in his hand, reached out and took out a battery from the backpack next to him, and replaced it very quickly, and suddenly, there was a bright spot in the tent again.

"That's it for today, I'm a little sleepy!" Fu Xiaoqiang shook his head, yawned and said.

Today, in order to take care of several elderly teachers, Fu Xiaoqiang and Meng Nan carried a lot of bags, and at the end of the day, even if he was strong and strong, he was a little tired. Fu Xiaoqiang's proposal was also approved by the other two people, and everyone began to pack up their things and prepare to rest.

"Xiao Rui, is it raining so heavily here?" Leaning over to the window and looking, the rain outside the window didn't seem to be getting smaller, Qiu Rong couldn't help asking.

Since coming to Liang Village, Qiu Rong and the others have encountered rainy weather for the first time, and they are a little curious.

"The rain in summer is basically so heavy, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are very few of them!" Liu Rui shook his head and said, "Maybe the situation in the mountains is more special, after all, I haven't stayed in the mountains either." ”

"It's good that we withdrew today, otherwise we would be in a dilemma!" Looking at the apocalyptic scene outside the tent, Fu Xiaoqiang was still a little afraid.

If it weren't for Yu Shanwei's calm decision, the expedition team might have to continue its march into the mountains, and when the time comes, the expedition team, which lacks tents, sleeping bags, and food, will be poured by the heavy rain, and I'm afraid things will be in trouble. Thinking of that kind of serious consequences, Liu Rui and the others all looked happy. Fortunately, it is now on the periphery of Xiaoqingshan, and if you work harder tomorrow, you will be able to rush back to Liang Village and end this somewhat embarrassing experience.

As for when will the expedition team enter the mountain again? That's not what Qiu Rong and the others can know, their task is only to learn, and it's not their turn to make decisions.

"I wonder how long it will rain? If it's too long, I'm afraid we're in trouble! Liu Rui suddenly remembered that the jungle knowledge that his grandfather told him was about rain.

In the mountains, once it rains, there will definitely be flash floods, which has almost become a law. The rain that had gathered from the woods had no place to hold it, so they had to rush out in the direction of the valley. Unfettered torrents are like wild horses that have escaped from the wild, shuttling back and forth in valleys, and as long as the ground is a little lower, it will become the direction in which they are heading.

In this situation, some of the mountain roads that were previously passable will be flooded by flash floods and become impassable. Moreover, the rushing torrent is mixed with broken branches, dead wood and all kinds of animal carcasses, even if you have a raft, it is unlikely that you will be able to cross the river in the raging torrent, you can only look at the water from the shore and sigh.

In addition, in the case of heavy rainfalls, the possibility of secondary disasters such as mudslides and landslides in mountainous areas increases, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of travel.

After thinking about it for a while, I thought that there was already a bad omen in my heart, and I was afraid that the team would be trapped here.

"Trouble? What trouble can there be? ”

Although Qiu Rong and Fu Xiaoqiang have conducted a lot of field investigations with Yu Shanwei and others, they have never gone deep into the tropical jungle during the rainy season in the south, so they naturally do not know the horror of flash floods in the southern mountains.

With a wry smile, Liu Rui told what he had learned, and now, what Liu Rui expects is that this rain will not fall for too long, so that there will be a chance to get out of trouble tomorrow, if it rains for a few days, the inspection team can only sit and wait for the rain to stop.

As soon as they heard Liu Rui's analysis, everyone felt that there was some truth, and suddenly their mood was much worse, so they turned off the lights and pondered in the tent. However, the young people forgot their surnames very much, and everyone soon forgot about the flood and prepared to go to bed.

Last night and during this day, the investigation team experienced the biggest crisis after entering the mountain, and everyone was a little tired, and the drowsiness quickly came up. The three of them huddled in a cramped tent, could only stretch their legs, lie on the backpack beside them, and fall asleep listening to the sound of rain in their ears.

In this way, accompanied by the roaring thunder, the sound of the rain, and the sound of the wind whistling from time to time, Liu Rui and the others fell asleep in the tent in an uncomfortable posture.

This rain fell very heavily and for a long time, and when Liu Rui felt numb in his legs in the middle of the night and wanted to get up and go out for some activities, the heavy rain was still pouring. In desperation, Liu Rui could only squat in the tent, carefully moving his hands and feet, so that the blood that was close to stagnation could flow again.

Although there is a tent to shelter from the wind and rain tonight, Liu Rui does not feel much better than last night, at most, there is no rain and dew. The small tent is like a small cage, which brings benefits to Liu Rui and them, but also restricts their movements.

This is life, there is gain and loss!
