Chapter 70: Sheltering from the Rain
It was this glance that allowed Ah Yu to see what the two of them had subconsciously ignored in the past.
The place they had taken to hide from the rain was on the steep slope, because the trees on the back of the steep slope did not have many leaves, so they did not look that way, but now that they had gone farther, and when they looked back, they saw that the back of the steep slope was three or five steps forward, and the mountain wall was sunken inside, which was a good place to hide from the rain.
Ah Yu told Xie Huai'an about his new discovery: "You see that the mountain wall there is sunken inside, let's go over and see if we can take shelter from the rain there!" ”
Far away, I could only see that the depression of the mountain wall looked like a place to hide from the rain, but I didn't know if the actual size could fit the two of them.
Whether you can or not, you can only know if you have seen it with your own eyes.
Even in the worst-case scenario, it's just a wasted trip.
Xie Huai'an couldn't help frowning, he hadn't forgotten the insects that were overwhelming under the roots of the trees just now, the place pointed out by Ah Yu was only three or five steps away from the steep slope he had passed before, who knew if there were insects in that place!
However, he looked at Ah Yu's excited appearance, but he still didn't say anything to refuse.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they really needed a place to hide from it.
The depression is at the back of the steep slope, and you can walk three or five steps from the bottom of the slope to the place. Maybe it's because of the height of the steep slope, or because the trees on the slope are easier to attract insects, but in short, the place they found this time is not only free of insects, but also quite suitable for sheltering from the rain.
The mountain wall was full of moss, but there was a strange smell of cordyceps repellent growing on the ground, Xie Huai'an broke off a branch from a nearby tree, and knocked it around between the mountain walls to make sure that there were no small animals with particularly strong camouflage ability inside, and then took Ah Yu in to hide from the rain.
Idle time always passes slowly.
Unwilling to face the mountain wall, his eyes were covered with verdant and blackened moss, so he turned outside, looked at the mountains and forests under the rain curtain, and suddenly sighed: "Finally, before the rain rained, we found a place to shelter from the rain, so our luck today is not bad!" ”
The wind is starting to blow.
The dark clouds on the horizon began to converge in the wind.
Xie Huai'an was also looking at the woods outside, a little worried that they would run too far away, not only would they not find their way back, but they would also be difficult to be found.
When he heard Ah Yu's words, he laughed inexplicably, and the little worry in his heart disappeared again.
"yes, we've had some good luck this time!"
Just when Xie Huai'an was about to say something, a white light suddenly flashed in the air in the distance, and the next moment the thunder rumbled, and with the thunder came the little girl who suddenly shrank into his arms.
The little girl's eyes were closed, and her lips were so white from the bite that he could even feel her trembling.
Xie Huai'an was stunned for a moment, almost didn't know where he was, he quickly came back to his senses, carefully recalled what had just happened, and when he looked at Ah Yu in his arms, there was a little more pity in his eyes.
Is it because it's thundering outside?
The little girl's family is really very timid.
He gently patted the back of the little girl in his arms, comforting her like a conscientious brother: "It's just thunder, Ah Yu is not afraid of ......."
But before his words fell, the thunder outside rang out again, which frightened the little girl in his arms so much that she couldn't listen to what he said.
To be honest, Xie Huai'an felt that Ah Yu was strong enough.
After all, even if she was scared, she just hid in his arms and shivered, and she didn't lose her sanity and yell, which was already very good.
Xie Huai'an couldn't think of any other comforting words, and after careful consideration, he reached out and covered Ah Yan's ears.
She was so afraid of thunder, so as long as she covered her ears and couldn't hear the sound outside, she shouldn't be so scared!
Not to mention whether this method was effective, Xie Huai'an suddenly heard a sound of talking from outside the passage, and the source of the sound seemed to be on the steep slope.
"I said to let you go faster, go faster, but you didn't listen, it's good, and I was stopped halfway by the rain...... What the hell, there are so many bugs here! ”
The man who spoke sounded very uncomfortable, and his tone was full of disgust.
The other person's voice was also very unpleasant, and he replied angrily: "It's raining so hard, it's good to have a place to hide from the rain, just a few bed bugs." Stomping to death is not the end of the matter. ”
The thunder in the distance had not stopped, and the little girl in Xie Huai'an's arms was still pale with her eyes closed, and she didn't even know that two unidentified people were coming up the steep slope.
He put down the hand that was helping to cover the little girl's ears, covered her mouth instead, and whispered in the little girl's ear: "Don't make a sound, there are two people suddenly on the steep slope." ”
Ah Yu was startled by Xie Huai'an's movements, and before she could scream, she heard his words, and the original exclamation was suppressed in her throat.
She was still afraid of the thunder outside, but at this moment she forced herself to calm down and listened to the sound on the steep slope with Xie Huai'an.
Listening to the conversation, it should be a pair of brothers on the steep slope, because the surname is unknown, here only Ah Da and Ah Er are used as names.
As an elder brother, Ah Da should be very authoritative in front of his younger brother, so Ah Er will complain to him about anything.
The two who eavesdropped thought they would say something short about their parents, but after they really heard it, they realized that it was not the case at all.
"My brothers never dreamed that one day they would count the gold until they were soft, but it's a pity that although we dug up the gold ourselves, we had to hand it all over in the end. I knew that it would be like this, it was better to be like the third brother and them, and all the money robbed by the water bandits was my own! ”
Ah Er's voice is ugly, but the regret in it is still very clear.
The other Ah Da listened to his complaints, but instead of hating the enemy with him, he became angry.
"You regret it now, if it weren't for your boy's seasickness, you refused to follow the third child and them, and you had to take me along, wouldn't we stay in this broken mountain for half a year!"
He paused for a while, and then began to scold and scold: "How many times have I told you to be cautious, but you just don't listen, the robbery you robbed on the official road a few days ago has been reported in the palace, and the master has made a lot of fire after he knows about it, if you are so worried about the silver, I think it is better to send you to the third child, and save you from always causing trouble here!" ”
Ah Er listened to his words, and naturally asked for forgiveness again and again.
"The third brother has now rowed to Lishui, they all use small leaf boats, Lishui is very urgent, if I go to the third brother, I'm afraid that I have fallen into Lishui before I get on the boat, big brother, you can do well, let's let the little brother go!"
