Chapter 44: A Sudden Flood
A few people finished the meal with laughter and laughter, only to feel that under the reward of this salted meat rice, most of the fatigue of the whole day was gone.
Luo Qinghe estimated that it was almost time, so he took out the watermelon he bought on the side of the road during the day. Holding this watermelon again. Go to the spring below. After bathing with water, they cut into pieces on the rocks and gave them to everyone. Relieve the heat.
After a few months of rushing around, if it were an ordinary person, I would have been afraid that I would have sores on my face and yellow muscles, but the three members of the Fang family still had ruddy complexions, and there were no symptoms of malnutrition, although Fang Shaoze didn't quite understand the doorway, but he also knew in his heart that it was all the credit of Luo Qinghe's careful care.
However, Fang Shaoze has always loved to be clean, but he sweated when he climbed the mountain during the day, and the dust was even mixed with sweat and turned into mud and stuck to his neck. At this moment, he was full of food and drink, but Fang Shaoze couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't care whether the stream was clean or not, and hurriedly went down and took a bath.
Fang Shaoze, who had finally washed away the dust, regained his old spirits, and saw that Luo Qinghe and Granny Wen were tired, so he took the initiative to say: "I will be guarding outside with Granny Mo for a while, you and Granny Wen will rest in the carriage!" ”
This mountain is not better than the outside, although it is summer, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the dew is heavy at night. And Fang Shaoze thought that there was a difference between men and women, so he gave the carriage to the two women very gentlemanly, and took the initiative to ask for a vigil with Langmo.
But Granny Wen was reluctant to say: "I can't help it, young master!" How can you do it if you don't sleep all night, in this way, when Luo Qinghe and I stay for the rest of the time, you and Lang Mo will keep it! ”
Fang Shaoze still wanted to carry forward the style and give the carriage to the two women, but Granny Wen didn't give him a chance at all, and dragged her young master back to the carriage after the quilt was laid.
Seeing that he couldn't resist her, Fang Shaoze could only give up and go to sleep with Lang Mo first, probably because he was too tired, Fang Shaoze's head fell asleep as soon as he got on the pillow.
Granny Wen listened to the slow breathing in the car, and said with a smile: "I'm tired like this, why do you have to let the carriage out!" Qinghe, you're tired for a day, sit down and rest for a while! I'll see if there's any firewood to pick up! ”
Luo Qinghe knew in his heart that Granny Wen was letting her rest at the moment, because she wanted to thank herself for giving the carriage to Fang Shaoze, but whoever saw Fang Shaoze's tired appearance couldn't bear to let him keep vigil!
Although Fang Shaoze in the carriage fell asleep quickly, he was still worried about the woman outside the carriage, so he couldn't sleep for long before he hurriedly woke up Langmo and replaced Luo Qinghe and Granny Wen.
But I never expected that just after the hour, there were suddenly a few thunders in the mountain, and the downpour poured down in an instant. Luo Qinghe and Granny Wen in the carriage were also awakened, and hurriedly called Fang Shaoze and Lane Mo in to hide from the rain.
In this extreme environment, several people no longer cared about the difference between men and women, and sat in the carriage until dawn.
But the rain stopped on the second day, and Fang Shaoze looked out of the carriage, but he was startled: he saw that the overnight place he chose yesterday had already been completely submerged by the flood, and even several boulders that had been washed down by the water were stuck in the middle, but the grassland they were staying in was intact.
Granny Wen and Rongmo, who also saw this scene behind, also exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Luo Qinghe in surprise.
But Luo Qinghe is very calm, this is just the basic quality of modern explorers, and she also learned it when she watched TV. But the most important thing at the moment is not surprise, but that this road ahead has been blocked by floods, how can they get out?!
In this deserted mountain, there is a flood in front of you, if you rush back, you are afraid that the back will be a mess, for a while, Fang Shaoze and his party were stunned in place and didn't know what to do.
"No, this time is already urgent, although there is a glimmer of possibility to go back and explore the way, we can't afford to block it at all!" Luo Qinghe gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Fang Shaoze, didn't we bring a compass, let's just rely on it to go around the road!" ”
Fang Shaoze thought about it, and then said in a heart: "Let's go!" If the flood floods again, I'm afraid this place will not be safe anymore! ”
But to put it simply, after the flood, the road in this mountain has become more and more complicated, if you venture forward, I am afraid that the lives of all four people in the group will be in danger.
After some discussion, it was finally decided to let Fang Shaoze ride the dust shadow to lead the way. But the terrain is already complicated, the water has not reached the knees, Yinjun is already struggling to pull the car, looking at the predicament in front of her, Granny Wen gritted her teeth and said: "I still have to catch the car to get ink, and my old woman can't ride a horse, only you can walk with the young master right now...... Although it is a little difficult for you, but today's matter, I swear with my net worth that if I say that I will defeat your name, I will definitely not die well! ”
Seeing Granny Wen swearing so seriously, Luo Qinghe was a little moved, in fact, she didn't care too much about the difference between men and women, and she also knew in her heart that it was indeed too hard for Yinjun to pull the three people by herself, so she nodded happily and agreed.
But Fang Shaoze was still a person of this era, and when he knew that he wanted to ride with Luo Qinghe, he was a little embarrassed, and apologized to Luo Qinghe again and again.
But Luo Qinghe didn't care, he turned over and got on the horse with a big grin, and after hugging Fang Shaoze's waist and sitting firmly, he let him go.
Looking at the hand that was suddenly wrapped around his waist, Fang Shaozeteng blushed, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't talk nonsense, patted the dust shadow and went forward.
I walked for a while with the compass, and there were several times on the way that I couldn't see my feet clearly, and the dust shadow almost fell, but in the end, it was the sweat and blood BMW, and no matter how difficult the situation was, the two of them continued to hurry unscathed.
But as he walked, Luo Qinghe suddenly saw a very familiar wood, and immediately gasped and said, "That's not right!" We've just walked through this place! ”
After listening to Luo Qinghe's words, Fang Shaoze also looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, he saw this familiar scene: "It's broken, the compass is out of order!" ”
Fang Shaoze said and threw the compass in the pocket on the back of the dust shadow, and sighed: "There's no way, let's go according to experience!" ”
But this time, I was dizzy and walked into the dark. This road is stumbling during the day, and when it gets dark, it is even more dangerous, and it is difficult to move an inch!
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the river, Dust Shadow accidentally stepped into the mud, and suddenly fell into the fast-flowing river.
This sudden change really startled Dustshadow, but after all, it was a good horse, and Dustshadow choked on two mouthfuls of water and hurriedly kicked his hooves to scrape the water.
At this time, Granny Wen's exclamation came from behind: "Young Master! Miss Luo! Miss Luo has fallen! ”
What the?! Fang Shaoze, who had just recovered his breath, heard the exclamation behind him, and turned around, but he didn't see the person who should have hugged him.
"Qinghe! Qinghe?! ”
Fang Caichen fell into the river, and Luo Qinghe, who was sitting behind Fang Shaoze, suddenly felt that his hand was loosened, and he fell into the rapids as soon as it was dark in front of him, and the cold and biting water instantly submerged her.
After struggling a few times in a panic, Luo Qinghe's somewhat confused mind suddenly remembered: This master and himself don't know water!
Thinking of this, Luo Qinghe panicked instantly, and wanted to struggle to call for help, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, the cold water choked in.
Oh my God! I've only been here for a few months, and I'm going to die before I can enjoy my happiness! Luo Qinghe was very desperate in his heart.
This is, Fang Shaoze, who found out that Luo Qinghe was missing, was already red-eyed, and shouted in panic: "Qinghe! Luo Qinghe! Where are you! ”
Fang Shaoze was barely looking for Luo Qinghe's figure in the night, but suddenly saw a small piece of golden light flashing in the rapids in front of him.
Dust Shadow reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Fang Shaoze's order, he swam straight away, biting the belt behind Luo Qinghe's back and lifting her out of the water.
Luo Qinghe, who had been coughing desperately for a long time, suddenly found that he could gasp, so he shook his hair and wondered, why does my stomach hurt so much?
Luo Qinghe was puzzled and touched behind him, but this was Fang Shaoze and hurriedly shouted: "No!" The Dust Shadow is biting at your belt, it's already a bit laborious, don't startle it, it's not good to throw you off again! ”
When Luo Qinghe heard this, she hurriedly retracted her hand, and honestly let the dust shadow hold her, and tried her best to raise her head to keep her nose away from the water.
Seeing that Luo Qinghe was awake, Fang Shaoze breathed a sigh of relief and looked behind him. But when I turned around like this, I saw that I didn't know where I was washed to, and I couldn't see Granny Wen and Lang Mo at all.
There was no way to turn back left and right, Fang Shaoze could only rush back and shout with all his strength: "We can't turn back!" Take care of yourselves, go to Guangling County and wait for us! ”
After saying this, Fang Shaoze, who was originally a little desperate, heard the hoarse response from a distance, and then he was relieved.
The water in the river was very turbulent, Fang Shaoze was helpless, he could only let the water flow float all the way forward with the dust shadow, I don't know how long it took, the dust shadow's hooves just felt the land and hurriedly struggled to the shore.
When he reached the shore, Dust Shadow finally exhausted his strength and fell to his knees as soon as his legs went limp.
Fang Shaoze got off the horse with a shiver, and hurriedly picked up Luo Qinghe, who was pale: "Are you okay?" ”
Luo Qinghe nodded reluctantly. But there was nothing on her body that didn't hurt, and there was even blood in many places on her legs and back, but it was covered by the night.
"Find a place to warm up." Luo Qinghe said with difficulty.
It was very cold in the mountains at night, and the two of them were soaked and exhausted, and if they couldn't make a fire to keep warm, they were afraid that they would freeze.
Fang Shaoze didn't say much when he heard it, and forced himself to find firewood and put it in a pile, but after the rainstorm, the wood was a little damp, Fang Shaoze said worriedly: "I really can't find dry wood, and I don't know if these can work..."
Luo Qinghe didn't have the strength to explain at all, so he shuddered and took out the fire fold, and raised the fire in three or two clicks.
"How did you do that?!" Fang Shaoze thought that he would struggle for a long time, but he didn't expect Luo Qinghe to do it so quickly.
"Next time... Explain again..."Luo Qinghe shook his head and used his last strength to lean on the stone and fell asleep.
Seeing her state, Fang Shaoze didn't ask any more, just looked at the warm yellow flames tremblingly, and wanted to take off his clothes and dry them.
While it was roasting, Fang Shaoze suddenly saw the dust shadow on the side suddenly stand up, and slowly walked to Luo Qinghe's side and lay down.
When the dust shadow came, Fang Shaoze found that the cold wind that was originally blowing the two of them suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: This horse is really very spiritual, and he actually knows that he is lying on the tuyere to block the cold wind for them!
finally waited for the robe to dry, but Fang Shaoze did not put it on his body, but moved to Luo Qinghe, who was also soaking wet, with difficulty, and covered her.
