Chapter 11: You have to go when the rain stops

Qiao Xiaojing faced the repeated apologies of the old uncle and grandson, and her heart was full of contradictions, and finally chose to stay. net

Staying, for Qiao Xiaojing, this is an embarrassing decision for her, after all, she has to face not only the kind old uncle, but also the old uncle and grandson who were once mistaken for thieves by them, no matter how skillfully they maneuver, there has been a rift in the relationship between the three, and this rift is difficult to bridge in the short term.

For the old man, Qiao Xiaojing's stay not only made him feel a little relieved, but more importantly, it made him feel better in his heart, and it also showed from another side that his grandson had not yet reached the point of being hopeless.

For the old uncle and grandson, Qiao Xiaojing and they were able to stay, which shows that everyone accepted his apology and forgave him for his mistakes, in a sense, everyone's actions gave him the confidence to be a new person.

No one thought that they had been living in this old man's house for a week.

The rain was still falling, and no one could have imagined that the rain would be so heavy, and there was still no sign of getting smaller, and it continued for so long, and there was still no tendency for the clouds to disperse and the sun returned.

"I always feel unsteady, and my heart is empty, as if something has been lost. One day, Qiao Xiaojing was sitting at the door with Cuiyu and Ah Zi, and she looked at the foggy outside the house in a daze.

"I'm also a little unsure," Cuiyu said, "In the first few days I came, I thought about the rain and the road sticky, so I just took this opportunity to make up for sleep, but I didn't expect that I was left to sleep, sleeping during the day and sleeping at night, and this sleep made people feel a little unreal." ”

"What's the solution?" Ah Zi took a deep breath and sighed, "After all, our mission has just begun, to be precise, our mission has just started and we can't move." Staying for a day or two can be considered a benefit, God thinks we are too tired, let's take a break. But it's been a long time, three days and five days, no progress at all, but you can only live like a pig, eat and sleep, wake up and eat, no one is the kind of person who has no heart and lungs, who can stand this?"

"Who says it isn't!" Qiao Xiaojing sighed for a long time, "When will this rain stop, when will we be able to come out again, the road of a thousand miles is still waiting for us, but we can only lament here, this is really maddening!"

"You say," Qiao Xiaojing paused for a moment, and then said, "Is there a better way, I mean, even if it rains, we don't wait dry all day like we are now." ”

"In this weather," Jade said, "what can we do, we can only wait, I hope this rain will stop sooner, and we can come out sooner." The only thing we can do is that we will not delay our work on the road in the future, speed up the journey, and try to get out of the distance delayed during this time. ”

"I think that's all I can do," Zi said, "and try to wait for the rain to stop before it comes out." On such a day, even if we are in a hurry, we can't go far in a day, and we will have to fall ill in the end, and at that time, we have to rush to the road, and we have to treat the disease, and someone has to take care of the sick, which is more troublesome and not cost-effective. ”

"I really can't wait," Qiao Xiaojing patted her forehead and sighed, "Let's do this, if it's still this tomorrow, let's not delay our work again, hurry!"

"Hurry?" Cuiyu was surprised, she was surprised, "If this rain has just fallen, it is still possible to hurry, at least the road is not completely wet, and you can still find where the road is, now it is good, the small ditches and ravines are all filled with rain, and the road is all paved with mud, how can you hurry? Not to mention that it is still such a day, and the rain is still so heavy." ”

"That's right!" Ah Zi was also surprised, she pointed out of the house and said, "It's raining so hard, it's hard to find the road, let's go out like this, in case we get lost, go the other way, won't it be more delayed when the time comes?

Cuiyu and Ah Zi's eyes were all on Qiao Xiaojing, looking at each other in the hope that she would be able to change her decision.

"The tarpaulin is water-separating," Qiao Xiaojing said coldly, "Find a way to find a tarpaulin and wrap the box so that the box won't get wet." ”

"Where can I find the tarpaulin?" said Jade, surprised.

"If you don't know the place well, who will look for it?" Ah Zi felt that Qiao Xiaojing was too stubborn.

"I don't know where to find the tarpaulin," Qiao Xiaojing said, "but I believe that I can find it, so you don't have to worry about this matter, I will figure out a way, and strive to get out early tomorrow morning." ”

Cuiyu and Ah Zi were very helpless, looked at each other for a moment, shook their heads slightly, and stopped talking.

Qiao Xiaojing sat for a while, then suddenly stood up, picked up a smock, and walked out of the house without saying anything.

"What is she doing here?" Cuiyu turned her head to look at the stunned Zi.

"How do I know," Ah Zi said impatiently, "If I can know Sister Xiaojing's thoughts, don't I know why I have to rain tomorrow?"

"yes," Jade said lightly, "I really don't know what she thinks, I have to brave the rain to hurry." It's easy to say that the rain is light, but with such a heavy rain, and you are walking in the mire, one foot high and one foot low, one foot deep and one foot shallow, how many steps can you take in a day?"

"Forget it," Ah Zi stood up and stretched her waist, "We can't change her mind by saying anything now, and since she has made up her mind, what other way is there?" Maybe ......"

"Maybe what?" said Jade, glancing at Zi.

"Perhaps," Ah Zi said lightly, "maybe she will understand that our advice is not to be afraid of rushing in the rain, but to make her make a more informed decision." Of course, maybe she has her own ideas, and her ideas are much better than you and mine. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ah Zi returned to the bed with a stool, and lay down in the blink of an eye.

"What is this called?" Jadeite paced around the room, sighing and pessimistic.

I don't know how long it took, Qiao Xiaojing came back wet, and the old man who entered the house with her, Cuiyu saw the old man coming, and quickly called Ah Zi, who was sulking on the bed.

"This box is not small," the old man circled around the box and sighed, "It's really hard to find such a big tarpaulin, this is the countryside, most of you grew up in the countryside, you should know the difficulties of the countrymen, there are not many people who have this thing at home, and there are even fewer people who have such a big one, the old man I have lived here for many years, and I have never seen anyone with such a big tarpaulin." ”

Qiao Xiaojing nodded, looking disappointed.

"Your business is a big deal," said the old man, "I shouldn't have asked too much, old man, but since you asked me for help, I still want to ask abruptly, why did you find an oilcloth to wrap this box?"

"Oh," Jade replied, "Well, I'm afraid that the box will be wet with rain, and the tarpaulin is not waterproof, and if you wrap the box in a tarpaulin, the rain won't soak the box." ”

"Why put the box in the rain?" the old man was puzzled.

"Because ......" Ah Zi didn't know what to say, and only stopped after saying two words.

Jade lowered her head and made no sound.

"Because we still have to walk a long way," Qiao Xiaojing explained, "it is inevitable that there will be rain and snow on the road, and the most afraid of wood is water, so I want to ......."

"Oh," interjected the old man, "I seem to understand, why do you have to put the box in the rain, since this box is so important to you, and if you are worried that it will be drenched in the rain?"

"This ......" Qiao Xiaojing was suddenly stunned by the old man's words, and didn't know how to respond.

"You can see it," Jade told the truth, "it's been raining for so long, and I don't know when it's going to stop." Now, the most important thing for us to get rid of this box is time, time is very tight, we can't afford to delay, so we decided to set off tomorrow, for fear that the box will be damaged by the rain. ”

"Leave tomorrow?" The old man's gaze wandered over Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi, and nodded and said, "So soon! The rain will stop tomorrow, but the road is very sticky, since you are short on time, let's go." ”

"What?" Ah Zi grabbed the old man's arm as if he had been electrocuted, "You, what did you just say?"

"How do you know the rain will stop tomorrow?" said Cuiyu, what Zi thought.

Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi stared at the old man with sharp eyes, and nodded vigorously, looking surprised and excited.

"What's so difficult about this?" said the old man with a smile, "People of a little age know this, sunny and rainy, joints will be felt, cloudy and rainy days are especially obvious, this time my joints and back hurt badly, especially my right leg, I always feel that there are thousands of ants drilling in the knee, when it is serious, like a needle prick, the pain is so painful that I can't sleep." ”

"But you said that this rain ......" Qiao Xiaojing glanced at Cuiyu and Ah Zi, and then turned her gaze to the old man sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Yes," the old man continued, "today my right leg, and my back, feel much more relaxed than the other day, what does this mean? This means that the sky is about to turn around, and I dare not guarantee whether the sun will come out tomorrow, but tomorrow this rain will end, and I dare to pat my chest to assure you." I've had many years of experience, and I can't be wrong. ”

"Great, great!" Cuiyu smiled and praised, "You are really an old fairy, too powerful!"

"Hehe," said the old man, "it's the first time I've heard someone praise me like this, but it's a pity I'm not." If only I were really an old immortal, at least I wouldn't have suffered so much sin and suffering......"

When the old man returned to his residence, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi came to the next room where Dazhi, Leopard and other men were, and after a brief chat, Qiao Xiaojing turned to the topic, she said: "The old man said just now that this rain will stop tomorrow at the latest, we have stayed here for too long, which has seriously affected the progress of the journey, and I have decided that we will set off tomorrow." ”

"What if the rain doesn't stop?" the leopard asked.

"There shouldn't be a case," Qiao Xiaojing said solemnly, "I mean, we can't wait any longer if the rain stops, it must come out tomorrow." Comrades-in-arms, don't forget, we have a mission on our shoulders, and if we stay like this, we will not be able to accomplish anything. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone's thoughts seemed to be trapped in a labyrinth, chaotic and confused.

"Ahem," Qiao Xiaojing said with a calm face, "This is an order! Remember, prepare early, and you will come out at dawn!"
