Chapter 40: The Rainstorm

Eleven o'clock in the evening.

The dark clouds seemed to be about to fall to the ground, and the air was filled with breathless dampness.

The roar of thunder rang out incessantly, the lightning dazzled, and the birds in the woods occasionally showed their heads to look at the sky, and then immediately retracted into their nests, hugging themselves and shivering.

The small village nestled in the mountains was quiet and silent, except for the sound of snoring from an unknown house indicating that there were still people living there.

The howling cold wind blew, swept up a few fallen leaves on the ground, swept over the village path, and disappeared headlong into the endless wheat field.

The green wheat seedlings were bent down by the wind, making a "bang" sound, like ocean waves.

A drop of rain fell on the roof of the off-road vehicle listening at the entrance of the village, silently shattered into several petals, and slid down the window.

A few seconds after the first drop of rain fell, just a dozen seconds later, the torrential rain poured down.

A dense curtain of rain washed over the small village, and the originally wet dirt road quickly became muddy, and then the dirt on the road quickly flowed down the rainwater into the ditch by the roadside.

Lightning continued to fall from the sky, and the lightning fell straight to the ground, merging with the water on the ground.

The ditches at the edge of the wheat fields were quickly filled with rainwater, and the rainwater that overflowed the ridges of the fields quickly flooded the not too tall seedlings.

I don't know which dog suddenly barked first, and the sound was not obvious in the rain, but it caused the dogs in the village to howl one after another.

I don't know whose child was woken up by the barking of the dog and began to cry heartbreakingly. Immediately after that, another gentle female voice came out humming a song and coaxing the child to sleep.

The child was coaxed by his mother for a while, but he still refused to stop being distressed, but cried louder and louder.

Then there was another angry scolding from a male voice.

Xu was infected by the crying, and another child who was not too big cried. The child may not be in good health and his voice is intermittent when he cries. It was as if I was out of breath.

The village, which was nestled in darkness, quickly boiled with chickens and dogs, crying and scolding.

The white lights also turned on one after another.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the heavy raindrops smashed into the soil, and every drop of rain could smash a big hole.

The rain hit the ground and splashed a white vapor, filling the village with a puff of white air, which looked almost unhuman.

Su Yang woke up in this noise.

He opened his eyes in confusion. What you see is the low ceiling overhead.

The back of his head seemed to hurt a little, and he reached out and touched it, feeling a big bag on the back of his head.

Zhan Feng was lying on his lap, there was a little red blood on his temples, and a dry stream of blood flowed down the side of his face, condensing into a dry dark stain on Su Yang's pants.

Su Yang pulled his somewhat numb leg out from under Zhanfeng's head and glanced back at the window behind him.

The howling wind and the rain kept smashing on the glass windows, making a violent crashing sound, and the smashed glass kept shaking.

Su Yang looked at the white lightning that kept flashing outside the window. I was confused for a while, and then I suddenly realized the current situation.

"Lao Liu? No......" Su Yang asked vaguely, and then shook his head vigorously, "Yue Yao?"

His eyes widened suddenly, he gasped, lowered his head and picked up the collar of Zhan Feng, who was lying on the ground, and shook it vigorously twice.

Zhan Feng hummed a few times, but he didn't mean to wake up.

Su Yang pressed the back of his head with a faint pain, and suddenly felt a burst of fire.

He let go of his hand. Let Zhanfeng's head smash on the ground with a muffled sound.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of "boom" on the mountain.

Su Yang turned his head sharply. Staring out the window at the distant mountains.

Under the constant flashing lightning, you can faintly see the large green trees on the mountain being submerged by the yellow water, rushing down the mountain ravine.

"Show your style!" Su Yang raised his leg and kicked Zhan Feng fiercely, and shouted at him loudly: "Zhan Feng, wake up quickly......****** mudslide!" ”

Zhan Feng lay on the ground and whispered a "hmm". He shook his body slightly and opened his eyes.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief and stood up against the wall.

**********************************************************

When the heavy rain fell, Xia Beifeng and Yue Yao in the cave looked up at the rock wall above.

The sparrow's reaction was more intense than Xia Beifeng's, and she gasped. took two steps back, and the whole person leaned on Xia Beifeng's body,

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not for you." Xia Beifeng touched the sparrow's hair soothingly, lowered his head and whispered to her.

Yue Yao half-leaned on the stone at the edge of the cave and smiled smugly at them.

"Ye Baiyu is interesting, he likes to raise these demons to play."

While Yue Yao said this, he supported the rock behind him with his hand, slowly stood up, and asked the sparrow who was shrinking in Xia Beifeng's arms, "I said, little girl, do you know how the last little girl who came here with Ye Baiyu was?" ”

The sparrow lowered his head without saying a word, staring at a shiny button on Xia Beifeng's backpack.

"What little girl?" Xia Beifeng asked Yue Yao curiously, "Are there any other little girls besides sparrows around my master?" ”

"Of course...... That little girl is so much better looking than she is! Yue Yao raised his head and gestured to the sparrow shrinking in Xia Beifeng's arms, "You are sensible and obedient, you are probably dead now, it's a pity." ”

And what's going on?

Xia Beifeng looked down at the sparrow in surprise.

Sparrow pressed his face to his clothes and said in a muffled voice, "She is probably talking about Ah Yu's ......"

"She's probably your sister-in-law." Ye Baiyu's voice came from behind Xia Beifeng.

Yue Yao narrowed his eyes and looked behind him over Xia Beifeng's shoulder.

Xia Beifeng turned his head and glanced at the rock crevice behind him.

Ye Baiyu exposed half of his body and was trying to climb to the ground.

"I really didn't expect you to come out alive, I thought you had been gnawed and there were no bones left."

"Whereever, it's my pleasure to disappoint you." Ye Bai Yu jumped out of the gap as he spoke. He straightened up and patted the dust on his clothes.

His bare calves were barely visible of his skin, and his body was covered with all kinds of dust and water, and there were large scratches of blood on his face, which looked miserable.

He tried his best to straighten his back, and slowly paced to Xia Beifeng's side. looked at Yue Yao with a smile.

"I heard that you gambled with our Xiaobei on my life or death, and now it seems that you lost the bet."

"I didn't promise her." Xia Beifeng tilted his head to look at Ye Baiyu and reminded him in a low voice.

"Why don't you bet, the bet is that whoever loses will die, how good." Ye Baiyu hated iron and looked at Xia Beifeng, "In this way, how many things I have to save now!" ”

But once I lose the bet, isn't it dead?

I'll agree to this kind of bet, do you think I'm stupid?

Xia Beifeng looked at Ye Baiyu in surprise.

Ye Baiyu didn't have time to pay attention to Xia Beifeng's protesting eyes at all, but gently reached out and touched the sparrow's head.

The sparrow timidly showed half of its eyes and tilted its head to look at Ye Baiyu.

There was a red mark around her eyes, and there was a little water on her long eyelashes. It seems that I have been crying for a while.

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Baiyu chuckled and asked the sparrow, "Are you afraid that I will die, or are you afraid that you will die yourself?"

The sparrow sniffed and shook his head vigorously.

"Ah Yu......" The sparrow shouted in a hoarse voice, then blinked his eyes and said nothing.

"It's okay." Ye Baiyu stretched out a hand to her, bent down slightly and looked at her, "Am I not here, don't cry...... Speaking of which, aren't you happy that you've been with Xiaobei all the time? ”

The sparrow reached out and wiped the corner of his eye and slapped Ye Baiyu's hand away. Smiled at him.

"Master." Xia Beifeng nodded at Ye Baiyu, his eyes staring at his trouser leg that reached his knees. Seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "What's next?" ”

"It's not good, it's just a bunch of shit." Ye Baiyu said and jumped twice on the spot to show that there was no problem with his legs, "It's just that there was a small problem before, and it took a little longer to solve it, but it's not too troublesome...... You're not worried, are you? ”

Xia Beifeng shook his head quickly, turned his head and didn't look at Ye Baiyu anymore.

Just in the middle of the three of them chatting. Yue Yao, who was standing on the side, suddenly fell to the ground without warning.

Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand to catch Yue Yao.

"Fainted." He looked at Yue Yao who was pillowed on his arm and said calmly.

"Normal." Ye Baiyu said and turned his head and looked at the figure standing behind him.

The brocade-clothed woman stood up at some point, tilted her head to look at Yue Yao, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"You're done." Xia Beifeng said leisurely to the brocade-clothed woman: "Now be honest, we can't do anything about you." Or do you really want to wait for this drought to be born before you are happy, don't forget that you will be the first to invite disaster at that time. ”

The brocade-clothed woman didn't speak, she waved her sleeves and smiled at Ye Baiyu.

The expression was different from the facial paralysis she had always had, but it was full of charming, and even the action of returning her hand made people feel a burst of heart.

However, the reality was not so rosy, and after she waved her sleeve, the ground shook again.

"Jump!" Ye Baiyu turned around and shouted at Xia Beifeng.

Xia Beifeng wittily jumped to the side long before he could speak, leaning against the rock wall, trying to maintain the balance of his body.

Ye Baiyu gestured a middle finger at him, ran two steps, jumped forward, and jumped to Xia Beifeng's side.

The ground shook violently for a while, kicking up a large cloud of dust that blocked the view of the two men.

When the dust cleared, there was once again a great chasm in front of them.

The woman in brocade stood on the other side, looking at them from a distance, her face full of smugness.

Yue Yao lay softly in Xia Beifeng's arms, motionless.

"You don't think you're going to get a chance to run back if you dig a hole." Ye Baiyu asked the brocade-clothed woman suspiciously, "And this pit is not dug casually!" ”

The brocade-clothed woman raised an eyebrow and flicked her fingers.

Ye Baiyu tilted his head and dodged something flying in the air.

A few pieces of rubble fell to the ground on the rock wall behind him. There was also a slanted white mark on the stone.

Ye Baiyu glanced back at the falling gravel behind him, raised his hand and touched his neck.

Xia Beifeng casually threw Yue Yao aside, silently raised the bow in his hand, aimed it at her stomach, and pulled the bowstring.

The woman subconsciously took a step back, and then realized that her body was no longer the fragile human body it had been. immediately straightened his chest and looked at Xia Beifeng without fear.

Xia Beifeng left the bowstring with an arrow and flew towards the woman.

Without Ye Baiyu's spell bonus, that arrow didn't burn in the air. It's just that it's bright red, and the arrow has a little bit of a pattern. The shape doesn't look like an ordinary arrowhead for a folding bow, but rather looks like an antique.

The woman was shot in the knee by an arrow, and immediately knelt on the ground, looking at the bow in Xia Beifeng's hand in shock, her eyes full of incredulity.

Ye Baiyu leaned on the stone wall behind him. Seeing this scene, he smiled lightly, raised his hand and whistled.

The sparrow quickly rushed to Ye Baiyu's side and looked up at him.

Ye Baiyu bit his fingertips, made a few strokes in the void, and looked down at the sparrow.

The sparrow glanced at Xia Beifeng aggrievedly, and stretched out his hand towards Ye Baiyu.

Ye Baiyu took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve, then tilted his head to look at the brocade-clothed woman standing on the opposite bank, and smiled.

The sparrow began to whisper something. A pair of eyes stared at the white paper in his hand, and his expression looked very serious.

Xia Beifeng turned his back to the sparrows. I could only vaguely hear what she was saying. For some reason, he vaguely felt that something in the air that he couldn't see was gathering around the sparrow's petite body.

The white paper in Ye Baiyu's hand was gradually stained with a layer of white frost, and as the sparrow whispered, a dense handwriting gradually appeared on the white paper.

The sparrow lowered his head, muttered for a while, and then simply squatted down, covering his face with his hands. Continue to use her lips silently.

There are more and more things gathered around the sparrow, and although I can't see what it is, I can feel the air around the sparrow becoming more and more solemn.

It even gives people the illusion of being breathless.

Xia Beifeng glanced back at the two of them curiously.

"Xiaobei is not allowed to look!" The sparrow covered his face and shouted loudly, and there was even a little crying in his voice.

Xia Beifeng shrugged his shoulders and obediently turned his face to the side. Begin to study the patterns on the rock wall.

The brocade-clothed woman remained on her knees, and her body began to tremble as the sparrow spoke faster and faster.

It was as if something heavy was pressing on her back.

The small characters on the paper in Ye Baiyu's hand gathered more and more, and there was a posture that they wanted to cover the entire paper.

Black marks also appeared on the sparrow's face little by little, and the arms covering his face were already covered with dense black small characters.

It wasn't until the sparrow's lips stopped moving that Ye Baiyu shook the white paper in his hand and smiled at the sparrow: "It's okay." ”

The sparrow put down the hand covering his face and stood up slowly.

Her face and exposed arms were covered with small words similar to those on the white paper, and her skin became whiter and fairer.

The handwriting is crooked like many earthworms, it doesn't look like Chinese characters, it doesn't look like other languages, and it is even a little different from the oracle bone inscription, and I don't know what it means.

The sparrow stood there and glanced at Xia Beifeng and smiled softly.

Then as soon as the leg weakened, he fell backwards.

Xia Beifeng focused on studying the lines on the stone, but always paid attention to the situation behind him, and when he found her falling, he immediately turned around and wanted to reach out to catch her.

But when he turned around, he only saw a blank piece of paper slowly falling in front of his eyes.

As for the sparrow that was supposed to be standing behind him, there was no shadow.
