It was a rainy night when a typhoon came.

The raindrops crackled and beat on the roof, and the sound was so loud that Ji Yan was a little suspicious that it was rain or hail outside.

Every now and then a bright light flashed, and then a thunderclap exploded in the distance.

Ji Yan couldn't help but sigh, fortunately they didn't encounter this rain in the few days they were on their way, otherwise it would have been really hard.

It's the height of summer, and there are basically only two types of weather in the South Seas during this month.

A typhoon is coming, a typhoon is coming.

The bed was so damp that you could clearly feel that it was wet when you touched it.

There is a futon on the bed, which is very thin, and there is not much need for thick bedding here, but after covering the futon, the people inside are about the same as soaking in a bath, but the water is cold.

It's better not to have it at all.

So Ji Yan doesn't plan to build it, anyway, even during the storm, it's not very cold here, and you don't need to cover anything when you sleep.

There is no lamp oil in the house, and I don't know if it was taken away by the owner when he fled, or if someone took it away when someone came to turn it around.

So after it got completely dark, the four of them could only move in the dark.

The best thing about this kind of weather is sleeping.

After all, it's really hard to come all the way.

So as soon as it was dark, they went back to their houses, and they were to do what they had to do.

Ji Yan deliberately arranged for Mei Yuning to live in a room alone, mainly considering that she had said before that she hadn't bathed for a long time, although it was very simple here, it was still inconvenient to take a bath, but she was alone in one room, at least she could pick up some water and wipe her body, which was better than nothing.

Ji Yan and Sun Dayong made up the bed in the hall, originally this was a big bed, and theoretically it was no problem to live three people.

However, Sun Dayong declined Ji Yan's kindness, and felt that there should be someone to warn him, so he volunteered to stand guard for everyone tonight.

Ji Yan thought about it, and could only agree very embarrassedly, after all, wouldn't it be even stranger if he kept letting Sun Dayong go to bed?

It is estimated that in that case, Sun Dayong will not dare to go to bed, so there is no good way to do this.

You can't tell Sun Dayong that Mei Yuning is actually a woman, and she has no interest in men at all......

So I can only grieve this honest man.

Ji Yan lay on the wet bed, listening to the thunderstorm outside the house, thinking about some messy things in his head.

But after all, he was tired, and after not thinking about it for a while, he fell asleep groggily.

I don't know how long I slept, Ji Yan felt that his body was constantly being pushed, he sat up blankly, his sleepy eyes were sparse, his eyelids were still heavy, and it seemed that he hadn't slept for too long.

Ji Yan was confused, and saw that it was Sun Dayong who woke him up, and asked, "Old Sun, what's the matter?" ”

Sun Dayong approached the side of the bed and whispered to Ji Yan: "Someone is coming......

Ji Yan immediately sobered up after hearing this.

However, Sun Dayong was also a little panting when he spoke, and he said to Ji Yan unhurriedly: "In the next room, you didn't come to us." ”

It seems that the person who stayed overnight before has returned? I don't know if it was the pouring rain that made them come back to take shelter.

After Ji Yan listened, he got up and whispered to Sun Dayong: "Let's go, let's listen." ”

Sun Dayong nodded, but he realized that the black light in the house was blind, and he couldn't see anything, so he agreed: "Okay." ”

The two of them felt the darkness, found their big hats, put them on their heads, quietly opened the door, and entered the courtyard.

At this time, the wind and rain outside the house were not at all lighter than when Ji Yan lay down, so as soon as the two of them went out, they were drenched in cold.

As soon as Ji Yan and Sun Dayong left the house, they could hear someone's voice coming from the direction of Chen Laohan's house, the voice was not small, but it was vague, I couldn't hear it really, and I didn't know what it was saying.

The two of them could only lie on the wall, listening carefully.

One is to listen to what is being said, and the second is to listen and see if you can tell how many people there are on the other side.

Thunder and lightning and the sound of rain hula interfered, and Ji Yan listened to it for a while before he roughly determined some information.

With the light of lightning, he gestured to Sun Dayong and motioned to go back to the house to discuss.

Sun Dayong nodded, it is estimated that he is the same, and he has listened to all the information that should be heard.

Back in the back room, Mei Yuning also came out of her room and stood in the hall with an alert face.

She was already dressed at this time, and whispered to Ji Yan: "Someone is coming?" ”

Ji Yan and Sun Dayong nodded, and after entering the house, they closed the doors and windows.

The two of them picked up their hats and put them in the corner of the wall while wringing the water from their clothes.

Fortunately, it was close to the dark night when she couldn't see her fingers, otherwise Ji Yan and Sun Dayong were twisting their clothes in front of her, and Mei Yuning's eyes probably didn't know where to look.

Ji Yan spoke first: "I listened to those people talking, it seems to be a little similar to Chen Laohan, it should be from the city of Zhancheng, I estimate that there are about three or four people coming." Also, I listened to them very excited, talking a lot, and laughing very happily. ”

After speaking, Ji Yan looked in Sun Dayong's direction, although it was pitch black in that direction.

In the dark, Sun Dayong whispered: "Well, I also heard them laugh, but I can't tell what they are saying, anyway, it's not my language, I listen, they should be three people." ”

Mei Yuning said directly: "Then will we go to the door now?" Ask them if they know the whereabouts of Mr. Chen's daughter. ”

Although no one could see Sun Dayong's movements, he still shook his head and said: "This matter should not be rushed, I estimate that in this thunderstorm, they should not rush into the house in the rain, it is better to wait for tomorrow morning, we will call Chen Laohan to knock on the door together." After all, Chen Laohan is also a native of the city of Zhancheng, and they are easy to talk to each other. ”

Ji Yan also agreed that he could not come to the door rashly, although these uninvited guests were most likely to come with the purpose of digging fragrant wood, but they should not be taken lightly.

And what Sun Dayong said is also reasonable, without Chen Laohan, they would not be able to communicate with the people of Zhancheng.

Coming to the door suddenly in the middle of the night, even if you go with good intentions, it is easy to misunderstand.

Ji Yan made a decision and said: "I think tonight will be like this first, but I can only bother you to be on guard for one night, tomorrow we will call Chen Laohan and go to the door to ask together." ”

Mei Yuning thought about it, but didn't find any reason to refute it, so she didn't say anything more.

That's it, Mei Yuning continued to return to her back room, Ji Yan also continued to lie on the wet big bed in the hall, and Sun Dayong sat on the ground with his back against the door and window.

Spent the night.

It was said that it was the next morning, but it was still dark.

Compared with last night, there is only one improvement in the sight situation, that is, at least I can see the person standing in front of me clearly.

The wind and rain basically didn't get small, and everyone just relied on their feelings to think that it should be almost the next morning.

After Ji Yan got up, he saw that Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong were ready, so he went to knock on Chen Laohan's door.
