Chapter 68: The Tempest

It would have been fine if it had rained lightly at night, but if it had been a storm, they probably wouldn't have been able to sleep all night.

Ye Jinyan glanced at the shed in the yard and decided to move the sleeping place to the shed. But the shed only had a roof, and there was nothing to protect it from the wind and rain.

Ye Jinyu said anxiously: "Sister, it is estimated that there will be heavy rain tonight." ”

"Then let's sleep outside tonight." The roof of the shed outside will not be leaky all the time like the old house.

Ye Jinyan walked around in front of the shed, but decided to take some straw to cushion, it is estimated that the rain will be particularly heavy this time, and she is worried that she will catch a cold.

Ye Jinyan took advantage of the fact that it was not raining yet, ran into the inner room and hugged a pile of straw out. Seeing this, Ye Jinyu also went into the room and hugged a stack of quilts.

The wind blew, and the old house was crumbling, and the creaking sound could be faintly heard.

Several parts of the house are badly infested by termites and will collapse sooner or later.

Ye Jinyan turned his head and saw the wooden planks piled up at the door, and pulled the planks to the side of the shed with a hook of the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, the bamboo in the shed is thick enough to support the heavy planks.

This shed was originally ventilated, but because it was covered by Ye Jinyan, it became a sealed space. However, there were still small gaps between the planks, and if it really rained heavily, she wasn't sure if she could handle it.

Ye Jinyu helped move several wooden planks, and his strength was much greater than before the training, even if the wood was heavy, he could move it.

Ye Jinyan piled the straw in the shed and held a bench to block the wooden plank.

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go in." ”

She pulled the plank apart, and only when Ye Jinyu walked in did she close the plank again.

Sure enough, Ye Jinyan was right, and not long after they entered the shed, an extremely bright light flashed outside.

Lightning and thunder followed, followed by heavy rain.

"Boom! Whoa, whoa, whoa! "The sound of rain and thunder was terrifying.

Fortunately, Ye Jinyan has long been accustomed to this kind of weather, no matter how loud the momentum is, she is not afraid, she is more worried about Ye Jinyu.

But when she turned her head, she saw a pair of dark eyes in the darkness looking at her quietly, without a trace of panic in her eyes, and she was unexpectedly calm and composed.

Ye Jinyu stretched out her hand, hugged Ye Jinyan's waist, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Ye Jinyu comforted Ye Jinyan while burying her head low.

Ye Jinyan smiled tactfully, hugged him, patted him on the back, and said, "This rain is really terrible. ”

When she said this, Ye Jinyan didn't see the slightest panic in her eyes, she knew that Ye Jinyu was only an eight-year-old child, no matter how calm she was, she would still be afraid. In so many days with Ye Jinyu, Ye Jinyan has long been familiar with some of his micro-expressions, knowing when he will be afraid and when he will be really calm.

Despite the stormy night, the small four-plank shed was very warm.

When I woke up in the morning, it was already dawn, the storm had stopped, and a few small birds stood on the branches and chirped and quarreled.

Ye Jinyan pushed aside a board and walked out, and was greeted by some knocked out tiles and rotten wood.

A ray of sunlight poured down from the roof, making the house even more dilapidated.

Ye Jinyan estimated the silver in his hand and decided to go to the village today to ask someone to repair the roof.

She knocked on the wooden board and shouted to Ye Jinyu: "Get up, go to the private school early today." ”

Ye Jinyu got out of the quilt, scratched her messy hair, and said sleepily, "Oh." ”

He stood up and patted his crumpled clothes and walked into the room, wanting to change his clothes, only to find that the room was full of water, and even the wooden wardrobe had been damaged.

Ye Jinyu turned her head sharply and shouted outside the room: "Sister, our house is leaking, and the ground is full of water. ”

Ye Jinyan walked in from the outside when he heard the sound, and sure enough, everywhere he saw was dirty water that could drown his feet.

"See if there's anything going on with your bookcase." She hurriedly reminded.

"That's right! My bookcase! Ye Jinyu suddenly ran to check the bookbox and found that the bookbox was really soaked.

Looking at those soaked books, Ye Jinyan comforted: "It's okay to dry them all in the sun." ”

Ye Jinyu turned her head and said calmly: "It's okay, I have written down all the contents of this book, and I don't usually read it." ”

Ye Jinyan nodded and said, "Since there was no exam yesterday, then play well today." ”

Ye Jinyu answered, turned her head to look at the bookcase, and went out empty-handed.

When he opened the door of the private school, he found that there was no one inside, and it was very quiet.

Aren't classes going to class today? Ye Jinyu was confused, and sat in her position for a long time before deciding to go home.

He's been waiting here for so long, and if he waits any longer, he probably won't come, so let's go back and ask the other villagers what's going on.

Ye Jinyu walked on the gravel road, raised her eyebrows, and saw Qibao running over in a hurry.

He looked at Qibao's sweaty appearance and asked, "Are you in class today?" ”

Qibao was out of breath and couldn't speak, he slowed down for a while, his head was covered with sweat.

"No...... I'm not in class, I'm here to tell you about it. Shippo let out a sigh.

"Why?" Ye Jinyu asked in surprise.

Qibao wiped his sweat and said nervously: "Our Mr. Yuan has been arrested!" ”

Ye Jinyu's eyes shrank suddenly.

"What? Mr. Yuan was arrested? ”

Isn't Mr. Yuan a teacher, how could he break the law?

"That's right, I heard I was caught in town." Shippo slowly straightened up.

"So you don't have to go to class anymore?" Ye Jinyu frowned, although he didn't like Mr. Yuan's teaching style, but Mr. Yuan's sudden arrest still made him not react.

"Who will attend classes after Mr. Yuan's absence? In these ten miles and eight villages, Mr. Yuan is a teacher. ”

Qibao shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, I listened to my parents, but it feels quite comfortable not to have to go to class, hehe." ”

He laughed happily, skillfully put his hand on Ye Jinyu's shoulder, and walked forward with his neck around him. But Ye Jinyu moved slowly and step by step, which made Qibao very uncomfortable.

"Ouch, don't think about classes anymore, since Mr. has been arrested, then let's have a good time, just take the holiday early, maybe he will be back in two days." Shippo grinned and comforted.

Ye Jinyu nodded, the facts are here, even if he doesn't accept it, there is no way, if it really doesn't work, he will go to the town to borrow more books and learn by himself.

"By the way, I fed the black chicken millet, and it ate happily, you are right, it is indeed a chicken."

When Qibao talked about the black chicken, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and even the embarrassed appearance of the wind and dust running away disappeared.

"There are a lot of people who come to my house to see the black chicken, they want to buy it, but I just don't sell it, it will be my pet in the future, go, I'll take you to see it."

Ye Jinyu didn't respond to him, but sighed, and before leaving, he turned around and glanced at the private school behind him.

The dilapidated log cabin, which stood silently in the woods, the sun shining on the leaves and on the roofs, where the sound of reading was often heard, was now eerily quiet.
