Chapter 38: Two Children
"Where are you?"
"Son, my mother can't find you, don't hide it, okay? Come out quickly!"
A naked woman, puffy and wrinkled, on all fours, ran fast by the river.
The terrible cry drowned out the whimper of the wind and the rain, and the rain passed through her body without leaving a trace on her.
In front of her, a white-haired man was struggling forward, stopping every now and then to take a look.
Seeing the figure of that person, the naked woman couldn't help but slow down.
I saw that her mouth was already grinning to the root of her ears, and she seemed to be smiling.
"Hey, hey, hey, Jinyuan, Wu'er, you must be hiding in that old man's arms!
The naked woman landed on all fours, slowly approaching the white-haired man.
......
The white-haired man was Song Shizhang, who was looking for the people in distress in the rain, and he walked forward alone at this time, and he didn't know that the head catcher had drowned. According to the information provided by the people before, six or seven rows of small cabins could indeed be seen not far in front of him.
The wooden house swayed in the wind and rain, and the impact of the water accelerated its collapse.
"It's all like this, there shouldn't be any more people, right?" Song Shizhang said secretly in his heart, but just in case, he felt that he still had to go up and take a look.
When we came to the first wooden house, the door was wide open, and the dried fish hanging on the wall of the house was still lingering in the current of the house, and there was no sign of anyone else.
So he came to the second wooden house, where most of the wooden walls had been broken down.
Song Shizhang felt that he was also a little unbearable at this time, he shouted as hard as he could, hoping that someone would hear the answer, if no one answered him, he would go back, this was already the most marginal small village in the jurisdiction, and there was no need to go upstream.
"Is there anybody? Is there anybody? I'm here to save you!"
Song Shizhang was silent for a moment, he listened attentively, hoping to hear some other sounds in the wind and rain.
"Maybe they've fled back to town, right?" Song Shizhang thought to himself, ready to turn around and leave.
However, before he could take the first step to leave, he sighed deeply, "Alas, I have completed ninety-nine steps in a hundred steps, so why bother with this last step?"
With that, Song Shizhang continued to drip and walked towards another room.
When he arrived at the front of the house, Song Shizhang found that this wooden house may be made of wood, but it is not damaged at all, and it is also closed very tightly, as if it is locked from the inside.
Bang bang bang!
Song Shizhang raised his hand and slammed the door!
"Is there anyone? It's not safe here, it's likely to be washed away by the water!" Song Shizhang shouted, and then pressed his ear to the door.
Woowoo......
Song Shizhang was startled, and the force of his ears against the door was even greater.
Woowoo......
It seems to be the cry of a child.
"How can there be a child?" Song Shizhang was shocked.
However, at this moment, a figure quickly passed behind him.
Song Shizhang saw a black shadow in the afterglow of his eyes, and turned his head sharply to look, but he didn't see half a figure.
But there was a strange laugh in his ears, "Wu'er, are you hiding in this old man's heart? That mother pulled out his heart......!
"Who?" Song Shizhang felt a stirring in his heart, looking around for a figure, but he couldn't see it.
At this time, Song Shizhang felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Song Shizhang has been taking the elixir given to him by He Xiu for a long time, not only has his physique been greatly improved, but he has also found that he can always see some things that ordinary people can't see.
Whenever that kind of thing is close to you, you will produce this inexplicable chill, a chill that goes to the bone marrow.
He guessed that those things were geists, or "ghosts"!
It's just that although the ghosts he usually encounters make him feel cold, they are not so serious.
He learned in the history of the wilderness that there are three fires on the body of a person, one on the top of the head and two on the shoulders, as long as the three fires are there, no ghost can easily get on the body.
However, there are exceptions, if you encounter a fierce ghost, I am afraid that the three fires will not be able to withstand his cold aura.
At this time, Song Shizhang felt like this, although he couldn't see the three fires on his body, his body temperature had indirectly told him that the three fires might be extinguished.
Is it really a ghost?
Song Shizhang speculated in his heart, looking around vigilantly, but trying to keep his body spinning, instead of turning his head to look.
Because turning your head may extinguish the two fires on your shoulders.
He was on guard for a long time, but he didn't wait for the ghost to appear.
"Is it a delusion?"
Song Shizhang couldn't help but wonder if he was overworked, which made his body unbearable, and his whole body was soaked in rain, so he felt cold.
At this time, the whining and crying in the house was much closer, and I think the people inside knew that someone was outside, so they approached the door.
"Is there anyone in there?" Song Shizhang decided that it didn't matter what the hell was going on first, and the most important thing was to rescue the people inside first.
"Hmm!" the voice in the room responded.
It turned out to be a child!?
Song Shizhang guessed through the other party's voice.
"Child, isn't your father and mother at home?"
"No! My dad went out in the morning, saying that he was coming back to buy some food and stuff, so that I wouldn't run around at home! Uncle outside, why hasn't my dad come back yet? Woo woo woo...... I'm so scared!" cried the child inside.
"Don't be afraid, child!" Abel asks you a question, is there any water in your house?" Song Shizhang asked.
"It's in! but not much! There are so many small fish swimming around my feet!"
Originally, Song Shizhang thought that if the house did not leak, the child might be the safest in the house.
Now it seems that sooner or later the house will be flooded, and if the child's father has not returned, I am afraid that the child will really be drowned!
"Son, can you open the door in the house?"
"Yes, but I can't! Daddy says you can't open the door to strangers!"
"......" Song Shizhang was a little happy in his heart, thinking that this matter was easy to do, but who knew that the child added such a sentence later.
"Brother, is Daddy back?"
At this time, Song Shizhang heard a girl's voice in the house again.
There are two children?
"It's not Daddy, it's an Uncle I don't know!
"Brother, did you just cry?"
"How is it possible! How can such a strong man as my brother cry?"
Song Shizhang listened to the conversation between the two, and secretly thought to himself how to let the child open the door.
However, at this time, he did not know that on the roof above him, there were four people standing.
A gentle and handsome young man, a down-and-out woman, a boatman with a pocket and a naked woman on all fours.
