Chapter 374
"Let's go back!" Doubao got out of the carriage and shouted to the coachman.
At this time, the thunder was rolling in the sky, and the lightning seemed to be about to blow the entire sky to pieces, and the raindrops the size of beans instantly smashed down on the head, and soon a layer of white smoke rose on the ground.
The carriage ran back for about a mile, and Ye Qingqing was not seen.
"Little master, you can't go any further, the river is rising."
In order to store rainwater, the people in the grange dug a ditch wide in the field, and the rainwater that drained from the mountains and forests flowed into the canal, because the amount of water suddenly increased, and there was no time to drain downstream, so the rainwater on the mountains gradually formed a torrent, and the path they came from was washed away.
"Mother?"
Chu Chu ignored Xiaohong's obstruction, got out of the carriage station and shouted in the rain, the thunder and rain covered everything in the world, and nothing could be heard except her own crying.
"Sister Chu Chu, come back quickly!" Doubao found that his decision to return was wrong, and such a blind search was likely to lead them into the abyss.
"Go back, go back first, go back and tell my dad that he will definitely come to us."
Doubao dragged Chu Chu into the carriage and told the coachman to go to Huangzhuang, but no one noticed that a black shadow slowly sneaked over from the rain.
The old horse in the car sensed that danger was approaching, and it wanted to inform the coachman, but before it could neigh, the black shadow jumped on its back and bit its neck hard, and the coachman saw this, and waved the whip in his hand in fright, trying to drive away the beast that suddenly appeared.
Seeing this, Doubao took out the dagger and went up to help.
"Little master, you don't want to die?" Xiaohong grabbed him, her face full of anxiety.
"Xiaohong, are you scared?" Doubao wiped the rain from his face and looked at her firmly.
Xiaohong was stunned, "Little master, I'm not afraid!" ”
"Well, take the dagger and kill the beast, don't be afraid, just poke it into the animal, and we will be saved."
Xiaohong looked at the livestock that was going to bite the old horse to death.
"Good!"
"Remember, don't take the dagger out of your hand, kill it and come in quickly."
Xiaohong jumped into the rainstorm, and according to Doubao's explanation, he aimed the dagger at the neck of the animal, who would have thought that the monster suddenly turned its head, opened its bloody mouth, showed its sharp fangs, and roared at Xiaohong.
"Xiaohong, don't hesitate, hurry up and kill it!" Doubao shouted.
Ignoring her fear, she closed her eyes and waved her arm in despair the moment the animal jumped up to bite her, and then she waited for a moment, not waiting for the imaginary attack.
"Xiaohong, what are you still doing stupidly? Get in the car, it's dead! ”
He's dead?
Xiaohong opened her eyes in surprise, only to see an ugly-looking monster lying on the ground, with a deep wound under its neck, blood bubbling out, and soon it was red.
Xiaohong climbed into the car in a panic, and handed the dagger to Doubao with trembling hands.
"Little master, I killed that animal just now?"
"Yes, you're great!"
Dou Bao didn't say that his obsidian dagger was too powerful, and patted the shoulder of the coachman with a dead face, "Uncle, can the horse still walk?" ”
The coachman checked it and replied, "Master, you can hold on until you go back." ”
"Let's go!"
Chu Chu was already scared stupid, she had never experienced killing, and when she saw the monster pounce on Xiaohong, the whole person was not good, her heart was in her throat, and she even forgot to breathe.
But Xiaohong killed the monster with just a wave of her arm, and when Yin Hong's blood spurted out, she was terrified.
"Mother~"
Chu Chu muttered pitifully, and when Dou Bao heard it, he crawled over and hugged her shoulder.
"Chu Chu, don't be afraid, you see that even Xiaohong can kill a livestock, and Mrs. Ye's martial arts are strong, so she is safe now, and she may be hiding in a cave to avoid the rain."
"Really?" Chu Chu asked with red eyes.
"Of course it's true, your mother is very powerful, haven't you always thought so?"
Chu Churan nodded, his mind became lively little by little, and his face was no longer so pale.
"You're right, my mother will be fine."
After the car suddenly fell silent, the children felt disengaged.
"Little master, you sit down some." Ah Yun tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked Doubao to stay away from the door, the rain wet half of the carriage, and Doubao was wet.
"Ah Yun, don't worry about me, you all have your eyes on the outside."
He didn't say in the second half of the sentence, Xie Chen wouldn't just release a monster to scare them, right?
And why hasn't Dad come yet? A quarter of an hour has passed since it rained, and it stands to reason that he should have been seen a long time ago, could it be that Zhuang Shang was also attacked?
Thinking about it like this, Doubao felt that the situation was very serious, maybe it was really possible.
He climbed up to the birdcage, "Sister Hui'er, do you think my mother's place will also be attacked by someone?"
Sister Hui seemed to be greatly injured, lying in the cage with her head tilted, and it took a long time to have a reaction.
“…… Well! ”
"What do you mean? Is there really someone going to besiege my mother?" Dou Bao's anxious voice became trembling, and he was about to cry.
“…… Doubao, be stronger, what should come will always come, and you can't hide from it. ”
Doubao rubbed his eyes and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"Doubao, I'm leaving, I'm sad that I can't go back with you to see your father."
Dou Bao was stunned, and looked blankly at Sister Hui'er who struggled to get up and sit in the cage.
"Xie Chen sent a lot of people over, and the birds in the mountains and forests just passed the news to each other, I probably heard some, someone wants to put your father to death, this time your father and your mother will suffer something."
"Sister Hui?"
"Listen to me, don't go back to Zhuangzi, I remember that there is a fork in the road nearby, you go into the city to find the shopkeeper Gao, he will help you."
Speaking of this, Sister Hui was already angry, and then she drooped her head and didn't move.
Seeing this, Ah Yun climbed to the door and returned to Doubao after explaining clearly to the coachman outside.
There were no clothes in the carriage to keep out the cold, so Ah Yun had to hug Doubao.
"Ah Yun?"
"Yes, little master!"
“…… Sister Hui, it's ......"
Ah Yun lowered her head, her eyes were red, and none of them dared to touch Sister Hui'er.
"Young master, Sister Hui is so tired, it just sleeps a lot every time."
"Really? This time, too, it fell asleep because of exhaustion, right? Doubao muttered, breaking free of Ah Yun and carefully opening the cage.
"Sister Hui?" Doubao was afraid that his wet clothes would stain his feathers, and he was afraid that he would not be light or heavy, and he would hurt it, so he could only look at it with his eyes, and Sister Hui didn't react at all.
Lao Ma insisted on walking again after reaching the city gate, and closed his eyes after completing the last mission, the coachman reluctantly held Doubao in his arms, Xiaohong carried Chu Chu on his back, Ah Yun stuffed Sister Hui'er's cage in his arms, and several people braved the heavy rain to come to Fumanlou.
Ah Lin has been apprenticed to Gao Bingyi, there are no customers in the shop in the rain, he is lying on the counter practicing calligraphy, when he hears footsteps outside.
"Brother!" Ah Yun shouted at him, "Brother, hurry up and boil water for the little master, he has a fever!" ”
