Chapter 278: Another Heavy Rain

After sitting by the river with Xu Shu for a while, I began to feel sleepy, holding my head little by little, but fortunately I didn't feel cold with a blanket wrapped around my body.

After dark, Sun Simiao came over and brought a ball of dry firewood to light a fire on the bank of the river.

I was a little worried about whether the fire would attract the walking corpses, Sun Simiao said that it didn't matter, the bells in front of their doors were very wide, as long as there were things installed, they could be found in time, and there would not be too many walking corpses in this kind of mountain nest at all.

After the fire rose, it was really much warmer, Sun Simiao sat with us by the fire for a while, and after asking some questions about the shelter, he sat aside and didn't squeak, I thought for a while and asked him, "Aren't you not too interested in living in the shelter?" ”

Glancing at me, Sun Simiao replied, "Just asking." ”

Nodding, I wrapped the blanket tightly and pursed my lips, I was not in the mood to eat in the afternoon, my chest would be pressed against my back, and I would like to pull it out and nibble on it when I smell the smell of burnt firewood.

Sun Simiao didn't know if he noticed, got up and returned to the yard, not long ago put out a small bamboo basket from the inside, put it next to the fire, then walked to the side of the book and broke two thin branches down, opened the bamboo basket and saw that there were two clean fish inside, two very large, and a few sweet potatoes, and threw the sweet potatoes into the fire, Sun Simiao skillfully roasted two fish for us, Xu Shu should also be hungry, did not refuse, and ate with me without any taste.

At the time of the main department, the fish and sweet potatoes were not new, and almost all of them were delivered regularly, but none of them seemed to be particularly delicious tonight.

The moon is not bright, but at least it can sprinkle a faint light, after eating and drinking, Xu Shu and I are satisfied with the body, full, the mood is relaxed, looking at the wide river deep soothing, only feel very comfortable.

The night was not so good after all, and in the second half of the night, I really couldn't hold on, so I fell asleep leaning on Xu Shu's body, although I was still angry with her in my heart, but now in the situation, the two of us are dependent on each other in some sense, compared to continuing to be angry with her, I would rather choose to rely on her temporarily.

Xu Shu used to know how to take care of people, but now she probably owes me a debt in her heart, I leaned on her in the middle of the night, and she was so stiff and didn't move.

Not long after Sun Simiao accompanied us, he had already gone back to the house to sleep.

I woke up and slept like this, and finally stayed up until dawn the next day.

Cheng Yang got up very early, about five or six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just white, she came out of the house and asked us to go back to rest quickly, and she helped watch during the day.

I confirmed with her several times, and when I saw the boat, I must come in and call the two of us as soon as possible, until Cheng Yang nodded helplessly, and then we turned around and went back to rest.

I slept very unsteadily at night, Xu Shu didn't sleep all night, and now she was very tired, after going back, my aunt brought us two gruel, and after drinking, the two of them fell into bed and fell asleep in the dark.

When I woke up again, the sun outside had begun to gradually tilt to the west, and after two seconds of staring, I got up from the bed and rushed out of the room to confirm that the sun had moved west, and after a while I asked Wong Tai Sin in the courtyard, "What time is it now?" Wong Tai Sin, who was playing with the two children, glanced at me and replied, "It's about two o'clock, your food is in the pot, it should be still hot, go eat it."

I probably woke up Xu Shu when I got up, and she also came out just when she heard Wong Tai Sin's words, she was stunned for a moment and turned around and ran towards the outside of the house, I also hurriedly followed, Cheng Yang was bending over and fiddling with the bell on the ground, and turned around after hearing the voice of me and Xu Shu.

Before we could ask her, she was the first to reply, "There are no boats passing by, so there must be something seriously wrong with the boat you're on." ”

"Are you sure you didn't go through? Could it be that you missed the toilet or something? Xu Shu asked.

Hearing this, Cheng Yang glanced at Xu Shu and replied: "This waterway is so straight, there are boats several kilometers before and after, unless your boat can be added to a hundred yards like a car on the water, otherwise it is unlikely to be missed." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu didn't answer again, but just frowned and looked at me, her eyes full of uneasiness and apprehension.

On the one hand, she has to worry about the safety of Uncle Gazi's group of people, after all, the whole ship is now a wolf's den, and there are people with evil intentions lurking everywhere, and on the other hand, she still has to worry about her younger brother.

Xu Shu and I fell out because of Chen Pu's matter, this is what Taozi heard and saw with her own eyes, and it is also the news that Song Meijing's group wants Suotian to know, so once Suotian knows about this matter and sees that Chen Pu is fine, then the probability of Chen Pu getting into trouble is almost 100%.

After all, it is a blood relative, no matter how excessive the other party has done, how he has hurt himself, and deceived himself, it is impossible to give up the family affection connected by flesh and blood.

The two of us were definitely not in the mood to rest for the rest of the day, so we sat down on the bank of the river early, always thinking that we would have more hope to see it with our own eyes.

It's absolutely impossible to say that I'm not worried now, I can only keep comforting myself in my heart, the crew will definitely not be Song Meijing and their people, the people in black also have diarrhea, they are definitely not pretending, Suotian must be waiting for them to get better before leaving.

But after thinking about it, he and Xu Shu have been in the water for almost a day and a night, and the probability of not coming to find it is very low according to the nature of the lock, but the situation in front of us is indeed not seeing him, and our position is roughly judged to be about 20 to 30 kilometers away from the boat, and such a close distance to the lock sky has not appeared... Could it be that he is really in danger? The warehouse is full of enemies in the mask of hypocrisy, and it only takes one carelessness to put him in a very dangerous situation.

The sky gradually darkened again, just like yesterday, Sun Simiao came to make a fire for us again, and then brought fish and sweet potatoes, without the nature of yesterday's inner anticipation, Xu Shu's mood and I were a little low, he probably saw it, and didn't talk much, after packing up his things, he stood by the river and watched for a while, and suddenly turned back and asked, "Do you want to go out with me tomorrow?" ”

Xu Shu and I looked up at him at the same time: "Where to go out?" ”

"Further upstream than I met you, there are two fishing ponds." After saying that, he glanced at me: "Is there another person there, would you like to meet them?" ”

Hearing this, I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but I was grabbed by Xu Shu, and my face was slightly lost just now, which was a little excited, and asked Sun Simiao: "In that case, can you use that boat to take us upstream to find our people?" ”

Hearing this, my eyes also lit up, and I immediately looked at Sun Simiao: "Is it okay?" ”

Sun Simiao shook his head almost without thinking about it: "The current is too big, a few kilometers is already very difficult, and you don't know the location of your ship, so it's even more difficult to walk without a specific distance." ”

"About thirty kilometers or so." I gave my estimated distance.

"I can't go."

After Sun Simiao finished speaking, Xu Shu and I glanced at each other, and both of them were full of disappointment.

The taste of such people is really not pleasant, looking from a distance, expecting to see the familiar hull in the next second, but no, the water has always been empty.

Sun Simiao is still after we finished eating, with the bamboo basket and went back, Xu Shu and I are still sitting on the bank of the river, the two avoid the previous contradictions, chatting about other things, in fact, she is quite good at chatting, knowing that at this time not to mention those worrying things, turned to talk to me about the child, touched the stomach I just named the child with her, and took it for several hours.

While talking and laughing, my head suddenly cooled, and I didn't wait to wipe it with my hands, and another drop of raindrop fell on my face, and then I didn't wait for Xu Shu and I to react, and the crackling sound began to come from the river in front of us, and then the fire in front of us began to be smashed by raindrops, and the rain came suddenly, just a matter of a few seconds, the raindrops of beans fell densely, Xu Shu pulled me up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the house.

I yelled at her, "What if they pass by?" ”

Xu Shu kept pulling me to the bottom of the eaves before she spoke: "Then you can't do it there in the rain, if you are sick now, then the situation of the two of us will be worse, and... Now I already feel very sorry for you, if the child has any more problems, I..."

Before she finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was opened, and Cheng Yang stood inside to beckon the two of us to enter, and then rushed into the rain with Sun Simiao, who had caught up behind.

There was a sound of bells jingling all around, and Meimei ran out of the house and looked out: "Hey, this bell can't do anything when it rains." ”

The two of them were busy in the rain for a while, and the sound of the bells outside finally stopped.

When they returned to the house, the aunt and uncle hurriedly handed over clean towels and ran into the kitchen to boil some hot water.

Xu Shu and I stood aside, and found that Sun Simiao and Cheng Yang's faces were not very good-looking, and when they came back, it seemed that they were obviously in a hurry than usual when they closed the door.

After sitting in place for a while, Sun Simiao got up and walked to the cabinet in the room and took out a big bag, put it on the ground, and said to us with a serious expression: "We are in trouble tonight." ”
