Chapter 16: The Little Brother with Backbone
Sun positioning? It seems that this time is not due west, it is the southwest or something, Ruoshui can't remember it at all.
Or do you want to be tree-ringed? She had an impression that the interval between the rings was wide and narrow, but she was completely confused about which direction the wide side was facing and where the narrow side was facing.
Now she hates herself for not learning geography well in the first place, she used to be a road idiot in modern times, and it was a big deal to go out and take a taxi, but now she is good, she knew to bring a compass and go out again.
What is even more hateful is that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the heavy rain came as soon as it was said, and the sun was still shining before, and in a blink of an eye it had begun to "crackle" and smash down the raindrops the size of beans, and the horse neighed uneasily, and it seemed that even it realized that the situation was not good.
"Big brother, come in quickly and hide from the rain~ This rain should come and go quickly, and it won't be too late for us to find our way later."
Gao Dazhuang thought about it, his vision was too big under the rain to see clearly, and if he continued like this, he would definitely get more and more chaotic, so it was better to stop~ Then he got into the carriage again.
Who knew that the rain did not "go fast" as Ruoshui said, but it fell heavier and heavier, and even the sky quickly became gloomy.
Looking at the situation, it won't thunder and lightning~ You must not stand under a tree in thunder and lightning weather, it is easy to be struck by lightning. But now this place is full of trees, and wherever you go, you are wandering under the trees, and it is very difficult not to be struck by lightning~ Bah, what kind of lightning strikes! And I didn't do anything bad! Crow's beak!
Ruoshui, who was in the fear of getting lost, had completely reconciled his mind into a mush, and he couldn't control his thoughts.
As if sensing what Ruoshui was thinking, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded, which scared Ruoshui into a spirit, and the horses pulling the cart were even more frightened and galloped.
Without the reins, the carriage had already begun to ram back and forth between the trees. The tall and strong wanted to regain control of the reins, but the thin Ruoshui was completely out of the grip of gravity, and if he hadn't grabbed it desperately, I'm afraid the person would have flown out a long time ago.
After moving forward in an unknown direction for a while, the reins could no longer withstand the frantic bumps and collisions, and were completely disconnected. The carriage bumped into the dense forest a few more times, and finally came to a crooked stop.
The tall man hurried into the rain curtain, but he couldn't even see the shadow of a horse. The rain was pouring down, and he looked forward for a distance, and found that he really couldn't find it any longer, so he had no choice but to turn back.
What to do?
The two men were helpless and looked at each other.
Now I can only wait, the sky is already dark, and the environment near me can't see clearly, and the carriage can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain, so I have to spend it here tonight.
After a toss, Ruoshui's clothes were already semi-wet, and the tall and strong were even more wet from the inside out. I didn't feel the nervousness of chasing horses and speeding cars just now, but as soon as I calmed down at this moment, I felt that the cold air seeped out of the cracks in my bones.
When I came out this time, I never thought that I would encounter so many things, if the water only packed a little dry food on the way when I went out, the burden was already in the bumps along the way and I didn't know where it was thrown off. Now the carriage was empty, and there was not even anything to cover, and the two of them were trembling, and finally waited for the rain to subside, and then hurriedly got out of the car.
I didn't feel it when I sat in the car before, but when I got out of the car, I realized that the unknown weeds all over the ground were secretly intertwined, one step at a time, two steps and a trip, the two of them were tired and hungry, but they couldn't get out of it for most of the day, and when they turned around, they could see the carriage lying alone in sight.
Suddenly, the tall man pointed to the way back with a face full of surprise and shouted.
"Look! See! Sister! Our horses are back! ”
Ruoshui hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked far away, and sure enough, he saw a horse running in this direction from a distance, but the speed was really slow, and after a while, it "kicked and tapped" to the side.
"Scared, scared me to death~"
Before the two of them could begin to cheer, a man suddenly rolled out of the horse, lying on the ground on all fours as earth-colored as the ground, and muttering incessantly.
"Who are you?"
The tall man quickly dragged Ruoshui behind him, glaring at the other party and shouting. But I soon found out that this was just a half-grown child who was not tall, looking seven or eight years old, with a childish look on his face, and he was still shivering on the ground at this time~ There was no time to greet others.
"Little brother, are you alright? Did you come to save us? ”
Ruoshui saw that the other party was just a little boy, so he walked out from behind the tall and strong, leaned down and asked politely.
"Looking at his cowardice, he can't stand up himself, how can he come to save us? I'm afraid it's a drag oil bottle~"
Tall and strong dismissive.
"Big brother, don't talk nonsense. Little brother, how can you ride our horse? How did you find it here? ”
At this point, the little boy finally eased up a little, he first raised his face and gave Gao Dazhuang a roll of his eyes, and then replied angrily.
"How do I know why I'm here! I was feeding the chickens in the yard when I heard it standing outside the yard gate, and I rode it up in a moment of curiosity, but I didn't expect it to run on its own. ”
"Ah~ I know, it turns out that you want to get rid of this horse......"
"Big brother!"
Ruoshui hurriedly intercepted the tall and strong words, although this boy is not very old, but he lives here, he must be very familiar with the terrain of this area, and it is not good to offend him rashly.
"Little brother, my eldest brother and I are lost and wandering here, can you please show us the way, we will be grateful."
Speaking of this, Ruoshui took out his purse from his bosom, took out a handful of copper coins from it, and wanted to stuff it into the boy's hand. Unexpectedly, although the child was not very old, he had a backbone, and pushed away Ruoshui's hand and slowly stood up.
"I'm not a thief, I don't steal your horses, and I don't ask for your money. Since you stupid big man is so capable, then find your own way, why do you come to beg me? ”
"You-"
The tall man was about to get angry, and if the water slapped the tall man hard, he signaled that he must not talk more.
After coaxing the big ones and coaxing the small ones, Ruoshui is so busy that he is anxious. However, her eyes lit up after only a little entanglement, and then she took out a brown paper bag from her bosom and opened it carefully, and there were several colorful rainbow dumplings lying inside.
These were originally intended to be used for promotion in Fengtong County, this rainbow dumpling is so popular in Xiangnan County, it has long made her move the idea of opening a chain store, but it is still too early to consider this in terms of funds and manpower, but it is still possible to do some early market research.
