Chapter 268 Shelter from the rain

Three days later, Shopkeeper Zhou, Mo Donkey and others took Qin Erdan with me, and left the capital and went straight to Shaanxi! Along the way, due to the reception of each hall, it was very smooth, and it only took more than ten days for our horse team to enter the territory of Shaanxi! This time into Shaanxi, the scenery along the way can't help but change! But I saw that the road was full of loess dams, and the top of the dam was covered with criss-crossing ravines, some of which were as wide as several miles, and some were as deep as tens of meters! On the other side of these dams is the roaring and rushing water of the Yellow River! The Yellow River flows through this section of Shaanxi, washing down a large amount of sediment and silting up the river, causing the river to hang high, and the locals call this section of the river an above-ground river! Because the river was silted up, the river was diverted many times, flooding large areas of local farmland and houses!

Let's go slowly! Qin Erdan pointed ahead and said to Shopkeeper Zhou, after turning this corner, we will arrive at the ferry of the Yellow River! Mo Donkey and I quickly ran to the ferry to take a look, and couldn't help but be shocked! It turns out that although the water here is a little slow, it is still amazing, how can you cross the river from here? And we were at the ferry, and we didn't even see a boat, could it be that Qin Erdan wanted us to swim over by ourselves? We were so angry that we turned our horses' heads, whistled, and ran back again!

We told the shopkeeper Zhou that the water is turbulent, and we must not cross the river from here! Qin Erdan said that there is only such a ferry port nearby, and if you miss this village, there will be no shop! Mo Donkey said to Qin Erdan, how can we cross the river without a ferry? You can't swim through it yourself!

Qin Erdan said to us in surprise, this is impossible, when you are hungry, you will cross the river from here! The ferryboat must have rowed to the other side! Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't fight, let's go over and take a look!" ”。 With that, he urged his horse to run towards the ferry! Mo Donkey and I glanced at each other, and we had to beat the horse and follow!

A group of six of us came to the Yellow River, and I asked Qin Erdan, you said there is a boat, where is the boat? Qin Erdan smiled, pointed to the river and said, "Look carefully, what is that?" “。 I looked in the direction of his finger and realized that there was a rope across the rough river!

I couldn't help but wonder, "What is this?" ”。

Qin Erdan said triumphantly: "Do you know what this is?" ”。 Qin Erdan was smiling heavily, like an old fox who had stolen chickens, and at the same time turned his hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly at Jiang Mian: "Hey! Is there anyone on the other side of the river? ”。

The voice was loud and melodious, passing through the hazy mist on the surface of the river, and spread far and wide: "Is there anyone on the other side of the river...... Does anyone ......? ”。 As the echo lingered, another person's shout suddenly came from the other side: "Someone, ......!" ”。

I quickly turned over and dismounted, put my hands on the pergola, and took a closer look into the mist, and sure enough, I saw a man dragging a rope and coming through the clouds and mist! When the boat came near, I saw that the man on the river was not riding in a boat, but a raft of inflated skins! I've heard of this kind of sheepskin raft, but I've never seen it before!

After the sheepskin raft landed, the six of us crossed the Yellow River on the sheepskin raft, which carried us to the other side, and made two more round trips before carrying all our horses!

We then got on our horses again, and hurried to the edge of the Wei River in a short time! That night, we rested in a town by the Wei River, and early the next morning, we followed Qin Erdan to find the cave where he found the silk painting! However, when we walked near the Wei River, everyone was surprised by the sight in front of us, it turned out that the Wei River had been flooded a few days ago, and the river had already collapsed the riverbank!

Qin Erdan saw the situation, and couldn't help but cry bitterly: "It's over, it's over, how can you find it now?" ”。

Just when everyone was helpless, the sky suddenly darkened, and a large number of dark clouds poured out from the sky, and the lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and it didn't take long to envelop the entire sky! Soon after, an earth-shattering thunder rumbled over the Wei River, and both sides of the Wei River trembled! The cool breeze blowing down from the sky blew away the unbearable heat before the rain and dried the sweat beads on our bodies!

Mo Donkey shouted, his cry was covered by the rumbling thunder, and Huo Huo's lightning illuminated Mo Donkey's face! I saw his gaping mouth and the look of horror on his face! Behind him, there was a low rolling dark cloud, and under the dark cloud, the Wei River seemed to be alive, it shook its body, and set off a monstrous wave!

So we turned our horses' heads and urged them down the river bank and galloped in the direction of the town! But before we could run far, the rain fell like a torrent of rain from the sky, and in an instant it drenched us all to the heart!

I wiped the rain from my face and shouted to the shopkeeper Zhou: "Shopkeeper, we have to find a place to hide from the rain!" ”。

Shopkeeper Zhou sneezed a few times and said, "In this wilderness, how can there be a place to hide from the rain?" ”。

Mo Donkey suddenly pointed to the side of the road and said, "Look, there seems to be a family behind the hillside!" ”。

Shopkeeper Zhou shook his horse's head and said, "Quick, let's hurry up and have a look!" ”。

The crowd galloped wildly, and when they came to look, they saw a lantern and a wine banner hanging outside the house! Mo Donkey couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Brothers, it seems that our luck hasn't come to an end yet!" Let's go in and hide from the rain! ”。

I was also very happy, and I thought about going in and drinking a few bowls of old wine to warm up and drive away the cold! But there was an ominous premonition in my heart, what was wrong, even I couldn't tell! I secretly glanced at Shopkeeper Zhou and found that his face was sinking like water, looking at the house in front of him gloomily!

All of a sudden, no one made a sound, and all around was the rustle of the rain and the clatter of horses on the ground! After a long time, Mo Donkey shrugged his body and jumped off his horse, and he walked to the door of the tavern, tapped the door vigorously, and shouted, "Is there anyone in the shop?" ”。

After a long time, he heard someone in the shop ask, "Who?" ”。

Mo Donkey shouted, "Open the door, we're here to drink!" ”。

The man in the shop said impatiently, "We won't do business today, you can come back another day!" ”。

Mo Donkey said angrily: "If you say you don't do it, you won't do it?" Hurry up and open the door, annoyed Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu lit your bird shop with a fire! ”。

The store immediately fell silent, and I don't know if I was scared or what's wrong! After a long while, we heard someone in the store shouting in panic: "Wait a minute, we'll open the door!" ”。

Mo Donkey didn't relent: "What are you waiting for?" Don't you know it's raining outside? If you don't open the door again, you will break in! ”。 With that, he kicked the door of the store a few times! The wooden door was kicked by him, and he was about to be kicked apart!

At this moment, the wooden door "creaked" and was pushed open from the inside! A young man with a pale face said to Mo Donkey with a flickering eye: "Guest officer, we won't do business today, you better leave quickly!" ”。

Mo Donkey was furious, grabbed the collar of the young man's clothes, and slipped him out of the store, shouting, "Since you are no longer trading, what kind of shop are you still opening?" Call your boss out of here, or I'll break your kid's head! ”。

The little guy's face became even paler, he spread his ears, and was dragged hard by Mo Donkey, and just about to have a seizure, he heard someone behind him shout: "The guy doesn't understand the rules, and I hope that all the guest officials Haihan will be one!" ”。

Mo Donkey let go of the little guy and looked inside the door, only to see a handsome young man in his twenties, looking at him with a smile! Mo Donkey was first watered by the rain, and then met such an eyeless young man, how dim his heart was! At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rolled his eyes strangely: "What are you laughing at?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will demolish your black shop now? ”。 After that, he tore off the soft whip from his waist, waved it in the air, shook a whip flower with a bowl mouth, and with a "snap", he knocked down the wine banner hanging on the lintel!

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly shouted to Mo Donkey: "Mo Donkey, Hugh is rude!" ”。

Mo Donkey put away the whip and said, "Shopkeeper, they ......!" ”。 Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, I've seen it!" ”。 Shopkeeper Zhou did not dismount, he rode on his horse and hugged his fist at the young man and said, "Friend! You're the owner of this shop, right? ”。

The young man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Old man, you guessed right, I am the proprietor of this shop!" ”。

Shopkeeper Zhou laughed and said, "What's the boss's surname?" ”。

The young man's eyes rolled and said, "Don't be surnamed Jia!" ”。

Shopkeeper Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Boss Jia, the old man has a reluctant request, I wonder if Boss Jia can agree?" ”。

The young man said, "But it doesn't hurt to say! ”。

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "We encountered heavy rain and wanted to enter your store for a while, I don't know if Boss Jia is welcome?" ”。

The young man looked up to the sky and smiled, stroked his palms and said, "Old man, what are you talking about?" The ancients said that there were friends from afar, and they were very happy! Although I am not a sage, but I admire the sage, since you are sheltering from the rain, why don't you come in quickly? ”。 Let's open the store and wait for everyone to enter the store!

Mo Donkey pursed his lips, spat a mouthful, and said, "Isn't this the end sooner?" ”。 Everyone jumped off their horses, tied their horses under the eaves, and then walked into the shop drenched!

After everyone entered the store, they wrung the wet clothes on their bodies and shouted and screamed, asking for wine and meat! Seeing this, Boss Jia made a gesture and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, the meal will be ready in a while!" ”。

Mo Donkey sat on a stool, sniffed while buckling his feet, and said, "I said Boss Jia, your meal is not ready, and the wine should always be ready-made, right?" Tell the guys to get all the wine for us, and we're all waiting for some wine to warm up! ”。
