Chapter 7: Encountering a mudslide
"I can't see it," Dazhi poked the big man with a finger and smiled sincerely, "You are still very wise at a critical time, and you can think of such an ingenious method, this time I really convince you!"
"Really," said the leopard, too, and said with a smile, "the big man is indeed very smart, and each of us thought of relying on brute force to come up, but I didn't expect that you would come up after a mouthful of mud and mush." ”
"To tell you the truth," said the photon with a smile, "I really don't believe that he has the means to climb the mountain temple first, and to my shame, he told me a ruthless truth with the facts, that is, people should not be disguised." ”
"His method is too amazing," the cold-faced scholar Antai also praised, "The rain is so heavy, it's hard for anyone to think of digging up the soil from under the mud, even if it is dug out, it will become muddy, I didn't expect him to succeed, and he also dragged us up one by one, it seems that Brother Leopard is right, you do have the ability to go to heaven and earth, admire, admire!"
Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Ah Zi had already hid behind and changed into dry clothes, and the three of them walked out with a smile, and praised the big one, the big man had already felt embarrassed, and now he was praised by the three ladies, he really couldn't stand it, he stood up with a smile, and said lightly, "I'll go to make it easier", and walked out of the crowd with his head down, his face was as red as a ripe apple.
Everyone felt funny when they saw the big man who was like a daughter and replied shyly, and laughed out loud, and the melancholy, helplessness, and even despair in the wind and rain just now disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"Let's eat something," Qiao Xiaojing said later, "Take a good rest, and recover the physical strength we have consumed in the wind and rain, anyway, the rain will not stop for a while and a half, and we can't hurry, so God will give us a holiday." ”
"Alright," said Jade, "then we'll do what God wants, and then hurry when the weather is fine, at least we won't have to bother with it like today." ”
"It's not according to God's will," Ah Zi said with a smile, "It should be said that we should do it according to the will of our team leader Qiao, as the saying goes, sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, and if the road is good, you can go fast." ”
"It's a common saying that sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter," the cold-faced scholar sneered, "but I've never heard of anything like 'you can walk fast if the road is good', may I ask Ms. Ah Zi, this sentence won't be your own saying, right?!"
"Leave it at that. Ah Zi replied coldly.
"Yes, just do as Team Leader Qiao wants. The leopard and photon sitting on the side didn't want to see Ah Zi and Antai compete any longer, and they didn't want to hurt the team's harmony because of the discord between the two, so they echoed in unison.
Everyone smiled faintly, and this matter can be regarded as turning the page......
After a little quiet, the big guys all felt the drowsiness caused by the wind and rain and the mud of the trek, some of them sat on the stone platform, some sat against the pillars, some sat back to back, of course, some people found something to cushion under them and sat against the wall, and it didn't take long for everyone's eyelids to be heavy and couldn't lift them, and some even snored.
The sky gradually darkened, everything in the mountains was gray, and the mountain temple seemed particularly sad and lonely.
The wind roared hysterically like an old cow with a knife, and the torrential rain continued to rain as if it would be punished before it had time to fall......
In the middle of the night, everyone in the temple fell asleep, and there was nothing but the snoring in the dark room. But at that moment the door of the house, which had been dilapidated by the state, suddenly opened, and at the same time there was a piercing scream, and then the door swayed incessantly and creaking under the instigation of the wind.
"Who?" Qiao Xiaojing, who was close to Cuiyu and Ah Zi, was awakened, she suddenly stood up and asked at the door, "Who is coming, report your name?"
"What's wrong?" the jade almost fell to the ground when she heard someone screaming, and she was very surprised.
"Someone is coming?" Ah Zi also woke up at this time, hurriedly stood up, leaned close to Qiao Xiaojing, and asked in a panic, "Who is standing at the door, talking!"
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Someone broke in......"
"Hurry up and ......"
There was a sudden noise in this mountain temple, and no one knew what was going on, and there was a chaotic scene.
"Speak!" Qiao Xiaojing raised her voice and shouted, "If you pretend to be a ghost again, don't blame us for being polite!"
At this time, everyone stopped breathing, but strangely no one answered, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the wind continued to pour in through the door, making the already somewhat gloomy temple even more terrifying, and the silence of this moment was enough to suffocate people.
"Dacheng," the leopard suddenly shouted, "Fire Fold, light up." ”
After a squirming sound, Dacheng brought light to everyone, he held the fire fold in one hand, and the other hand blocked the front, avoiding being blown out by the wind, and slowly came to the door, at this time everyone appeared in the temple There was no one else, but the wind blew the temple door open, it turned out to be just a false alarm, all breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in the air was finally solid again.
"What," Qiao Xiaojing stood at the door, looking out of the gray house, in fact, he couldn't see anything, and sighed worriedly, "I think the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the rain doesn't seem to be decreasing, I really don't know how long it will last!"
"If you come, you will be safe. Cuiyu comforted, "It's useless to think more, it's still what I said during the day, we can't take care of God's affairs, since we have been forced here, let's rest here, and when the sky turns clear and the road is smooth, we will go out again, as long as we are compact and smooth on the road, and speed up the pace, we should not be able to delay the right thing." ”
"Yes," said the leopard, standing on the other side of the door, "no one wants to encounter such weather, but there is no way, we have encountered such weather." Even if we brave the wind and rain to hurry, just like during the day, I don't think we can go far, we won't last long, we will all have to lie down tired, and there will be non-combat attrition. ”
"I don't know any of this," Qiao Xiaojing sighed, "I'm just worried that we are trapped in this halfway up the mountain, the conditions are too difficult, and if this weather lasts for too long, food and drinking will become a problem, and the morale of my teammates will be greatly affected." ”
"How is it possible?" said the leopard, "the five of you are all experienced in battles, you should have encountered all kinds of situations, naturally accustomed to this kind of environment, our eight brothers are not a problem, they have been with me for many years, worse than this condition is not unencountered, have survived again and again, rest assured, we will be fine." ”
"yes," Qiao Xiaojing said, "we'll be fine." It's all my fault, as a commander, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you should face them positively, instead of being as negative as me, it is likely that in the face of difficulties, everyone will be more united and high-spirited, but my emotions will affect the morale of the team, compared to your optimism and open-mindedness, I feel extremely ashamed!"
"You are too yourself," said the leopard, "and you are much more tired than we are, and it is normal for you to stop once in a while and take a long breath or two. After all, no one is a machine, and there will always be times when you are tired. ”
"yes," Jade said, "don't think about it, let's sleep!"
Qiao Xiaojing closed the door of the house herself, and returned to Ah Zi with the light of the fire fold and Cuiyu, and the three of them leaned close together, listening to the intermittent snoring of the big one, and slowly closed their eyes.
When Qiao Xiaojing and the others woke up again, it was already daylight, but it was still raining like a curtain.
"I used to want to rest," said the big man, who was moving his muscles in the house, and said with a smile, "I always wanted to be able to sleep well, but now I have this opportunity, but I can't sleep, what do you think is going on?"
"If you want me to say," said Rifle, with a smile, "you are the life of your work, and you can't be idle." ”
"It's too high-sounding," the cold-faced scholar Antai said lightly, "Do you want to show your merit in disguise, tell us that you are the kind of person who is serious, cares about everything, and loves to work hard?"
"Isn't it like that?" asked the big man.
"Like?" The cold-faced scholar Antai still had a cold expression, and said lightly, "I'll tell you why that's happening, listen, you're a cheap --- want to sleep, if you have time, then you sleep, you can't sleep but still want to sleep, that's lazy!"
Except for Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu, Leopard and Photon, who were standing at the door to discuss things, the rest of the people were amused by Antai and the big man, and some even leaned back and laughed, looking at everyone's expressions, there was no disappointment, frustration and helplessness in the predicament.
"Is it windy?" Qiao Xiaojing and the leopard talked happily, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Really!" said Jade, Leopard, and Photon in unison.
"So, the rain should be about to stop. Qiao Xiaojing spoke, walked out of the temple gate, and stood in the rain and looked around.
Everyone's eyes were on the outside of the house, and the big man, Antai and Dacheng came to the door one after another, and everyone's faces showed a faint look of surprise.
"Not good!" Qiao Xiaojing outside the house suddenly shouted, "I have to get out of here quickly, hurry up and pack my things......"
Suddenly, everyone was stunned, no one knew what Qiao Xiaojing meant by this, they looked at each other for a while, and then turned their eyes to Qiao Xiaojing who rushed into the door.
"Hurry up and pack your things," Qiao Xiaojing shouted anxiously, "There are stones flowing down the mountain, and the mudslide is coming." ”
In an instant, the house was in chaos again.
"Antai is responsible for tying up the box," Qiao Xiaojing shouted, "Drag the box with a rope and slide it down slowly, Dazhi, big man, you go down and catch the box, and the others will stop grinding and hurry up and go downhill." ”
After a while, Qiao Xiaojing and the others had already reached the bottom of the slope and once again got into the torrential rain.
"Hurry," Qiao Xiaojing was still shouting, "Pick up the box and go forward, don't pause, hurry up, hurry up...... Since there is a mountain temple here, there should be a home not far from here. ”
Fortunately, after a night's rest, everyone is still full of physical strength, and the action is much faster than yesterday.
When Qiao Xiaojing and the others just walked on the wasteland, there was a "rumbling" sound behind them, the sound was dull and powerful, the ground shook the mountains, everyone looked back, only to see the mudslide on the opposite mountain rolling down, like a few pythons with big mouths open. The mountain temple that was sheltering them from the wind and rain just now was swallowed up by the mudslide in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was speechless, and they all took a deep breath.
