Chapter 45: Heavy Rain

Just when I was thinking nonsense, I had already led Xiao Hei to the door of the village, and went all the way down the path, directly to the gate of the village, and there was a plaque of some age hanging on the gate, which wrote a few traditional Chinese characters, which means Jiaolong Village, which looks quite magnificent, although there is a gate, but there is no real door, just a passage, and we walked directly into it.

The village looks a lot simpler, most of them are stilted wooden houses, from time to time there are a few thatched mud houses, there are a few lights in it, when you look at it from the mountainside, you will feel that the village is a little brightly lit, but as soon as you walk into the village, there is no visual impact of overlooking, you feel that the village is very gloomy and desolate, just like an old man in his twilight years, giving people the feeling that they will be more or less uncomfortable, to put it bluntly, this village lacks vitality and vitality.

Li Xiang knew the village chief here, and took us directly to the village chief's house, which is also a wooden house on stilts, and there is a small open space in front of the door, on which is a light bulb with a high wattage, which can illuminate the whole open space.

The village chief was an old man who looked a few years older than Ge Lao, his body was a little thin, he had a cane in his right hand and a hookah in his left hand.

Li Xiang walked over and said hello to the old village chief, and the two of them whispered, the only place in this village where we can stay is the village chief's house, the village chief has a son in the family, who works outside all the year round, leaving a daughter-in-law with a ten-year-old girl, and there are several rooms in the house, which can let us settle down temporarily.

The fat man means to drill directly into the civil official tomb, and he doesn't need to enter this village at all, I firmly oppose it, you really can't take it in the tomb on a full moon night, God knows what will happen inside, Ge Lao and Huo Nan mean the same, the fat man belongs to the kind of day that is all year round, and he won't take care of these at all, but he wants to go overnight, and no one is on his side, so he can only honestly come to the village chief's house with us.

The fat man complained about our all the way, Huo Nan said coldly, you have the ability to go down by yourself, if I didn't pull it desperately, this thing would really go by itself, this kind of thing The fat man doesn't seem to do less, if I go to the grave alone, I won't do it as much as I want, I don't want to do anything about it, I think about that kind of scene, my scalp is numb.

As the old saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and if there is something in this society that money can't do, it proves that money is still not enough.

Although the village chief has a cold temperament, his daughter-in-law is very enthusiastic, and after I stuffed 500 yuan, I took my little daughter Zhang Luo and slaughtered two chickens for us to stew for supper.

Early the next morning, after bidding farewell to the village chief, we went straight into the woods, and walked all the way along a path between the trees, where the trees were tall and lush, a bit of a primeval jungle, and from time to time there were some small beasts running away when they saw us.

The sky was gray, it looked like it was going to rain, in order to hurry, Li Xiang, who led the way in front, was very fast, and after walking for about a while, the road under his feet began to gradually go down, and the front was like a valley, a bit of a terrible thing is that the sky began to tick with raindrops.

The thunder is loud and the rain is small, talking about the kind of rain that can't fall, and I have a very bad premonition for such a big raindrop.

Sure enough, the climate in the mountains is too weird, and in less than two minutes, the heavy rain has begun to pour, and the raindrops hit the face like being stabbed by a knife, cold and painful, and now the trouble is big, and the road ahead is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the potholes on the muddy ground will waste a lot of physical strength.

Li Xiang, who was walking in the front, was like a demon, just walking forward, without saying a word, such a heavy rain, the people behind us could only follow him, such a heavy rain, the visibility was very low, less than a few dozen meters away, it was difficult to identify the direction, Huo Nan walked beside me and kept holding the compass plate, and the expression on his face was very serious.

The road under our feet has become a small ditch, I looked back at Ge Lao, I was most worried about him, I was also startled when I looked back, Ge Lao's face was pale, although we were wearing waterproof jackets this time, but the coat was directly washed by the rain, and the temperature of the human body could be pumped away by the clothes.

"Fatty! Go to the front to stop Li Xiang, don't let him go, let's find a high place and set up the tent, Ge Lao's body can't bear it, such a heavy rain, if there is a flash flood later, it will be more troublesome, hide first! I shouted at the fat man with all my strength, and after the rain hit the trees and the ground, the rain broke out so loudly that it was too loud to hear what was being said.

I said to the fat man, and at the same time I gestured to Liang Zi not far behind, and then patted Xiao Hei's head, signaling it to stop, Xiao Hei is really human, such a heavy rain, it doesn't call, I patted its head, and it stopped immediately.

Looking around, there is a valley below, there are two peaks on the left and right, such a terrain walks in the valley, once there is a flash flood, there is nowhere to run, there is a small high slope not far from the right, there is a big tree growing on it, I waved at the big guy and said loudly: "Go there!" ”

When I came to the big tree, I found that the tree was so thick, and the three old men held hands to barely keep it, and when they came to the bottom of the tree, the rain was a little lighter, and the leaves of this tree were very large, which could block part of the rain.

I tied Xiao Hei directly to a vine hanging down next to me, and then called Liang Zi and the fat man to come over and lift the tent off Xiao Hei's back.

This kind of tent is semi-automatic, and it is easy to open on weekdays, but the rainwater on it is so collected by the branches and leaves of the big trees that the water that flows down is like the water coming down from the eaves, and it is difficult to break through the tent.

I exerted my strength to feed, only barely stretched out a part, Liang Zi saw this and asked me to stand aside, and then waved and pulled with his big hand, and slammed the secret button on the top of the tent popped out, and the rest of this thing was easy to do, a group of people and a corner, and soon set up such a tent.

Thankfully, there was no wind in the heavy rain, and if it blew again, it would be even more troublesome, and by the time the tent was fully set up, I was tired enough to sit inside.

The fat man and Liang Zi looked like they were fine, took out the towel and began to wipe the water on their bodies, took out the solid alcohol from the backpack with the trigger, then pulled open the tent and looked left and right outside, and ran out directly.

After about five minutes, the trigger ran back with a bundle of gray firewood, although it was already wet with rain, but as long as the rain outside was dry, I never doubted the ability of their special forces to survive in the wild, so I watched the trigger skillfully shake the firewood one by one, first spread a layer on the ground, and then threw two pieces of solid alcohol on it and lit it, and then stacked the firewood sticks on it.

Now the temperature is about ten degrees, there is a sigh between breaths, people shiver in the cold, after seeing that trace of fire, from the heart began to warm up, water is the source of life, and fire is the source of civilization, that trace of fire gradually rises, soon, the whole fire began to burn, the temperature in the tent also rose all at once.
