There was a commotion on the threshing floor, the cries of children, the chatter of adults, the laughter of girls and boys, and Susie could hear what several people around her were saying, and there was a buzz all around.

After waiting for a long time, the white curtain finally appeared in color, the movie began, the sound sounded, and the hum on the threshing floor finally became a little quieter.

Susie craned her neck to look ahead, but the seat was so far back that she couldn't see the bottom half of the screen.

Tian Xiaohui next to her was even more miserable, she was short, worse than Susie's vision.

Tian Xiaohui's neck stretched out, and it went to the left and the right for a while.

Even so, Tian Xiaohui was very devoted, and when she saw that the fish caught by Xiao Haixia in the movie was snatched away by the bully, she was very angry, "Damn the bully!" ”

Susie was very amused when she looked at this innocent child from the side.

I don't know when, someone in front of me started to stand up, Tian Xiaohui shouted: "Hey, can the person in front sit down?" What do you think about this? ”

No one paid any attention to her at all.

Soon, more and more people were standing in front of them watching, almost blocking the screen completely.

Tian Xiaohui had no choice but to stand up, even if she stood up, she still couldn't see it, she gritted her teeth and stood on the chair, and she was finally able to see half of the screen.

Susie was also blocked from seeing, so she had to follow and stand on top of her chair.

Qiao Mu was originally sitting, and when he saw Susie standing on the chair, he also stood up, putting his hands on the back of the chair.

Unconsciously, "Haixia" gradually came to an end, and at this moment, the sound of "popping and popping" suddenly sounded.

A large drop of rain fell on the tip of Susie's nose.

Before Susie could react, she looked up at the sky, and the sound of popping soon became denser and denser, like fried beans.

Then someone shouted, "It's raining, it's raining heavily, everyone run." ”

Susie was still in the chair, and just about to get down, the people in front of her squeezed, and Susie involuntarily fell backwards.

In her panic, Susie felt herself fall into an embrace.

Qiao Mu didn't have the slightest interest in the movie, and stood up to protect Susie, she fell back, and he just opened his arms and hugged her steadily.

The rain came so quickly and so hard that there was chaos on the threshing floor, and people shouted and ran home with their chairs.

The projectionist was hurriedly turning off the machine, for fear that the expensive projector would be damaged by the rain.

Susie also quickly stood firm, she was about to leave with a chair, but she didn't know which direction to go for a while.

There are no houses around the threshing floor on the seventh row side, which is different from the one in Giethoorn.

At that moment, the projector stopped, the light and shadow on the screen disappeared, and the entire threshing floor went dark.

Susie couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Susie's arm tightly, and Susie was just about to break free, when she heard Qiao Mu's voice, "Follow me, there's a school over there, let's go there to shelter from the rain first." ”

Susie was a little relieved when she heard Qiao Mu's voice, and she didn't move anymore, letting him grab her hand.

She knew that in this dark and chaotic environment, if she was hypocritical, she didn't know what was going to happen.

Susie was pulled by the arbor and pushed by the crowd for a while, and the bean-sized raindrops hit her face, and she couldn't even open her eyes.

She suddenly remembered Tian Xiaohui and shouted anxiously: "Xiaohui, where are you, Xiaohui?" ”

There is only the crackling sound of raindrops falling in my ears, and the various voices of aunts and aunts calling for their children.

Qiao Mu said loudly: "Don't worry, go to shelter from the rain first, she is such a big person, and Yuan Gang will definitely take care of her." ”

Susie couldn't help it, in this chaotic and dark environment, she couldn't find Tian Xiaohui.

She couldn't make out the direction, and followed the arbor in a daze.

The hands held by the two were also wet from the rain, slippery and almost impossible to grasp, and whenever Susie felt that her hand was about to slip out of the palm of Qiao Mu's hand, Qiao Mu would hold her tightly again.

I don't know how long I walked, it seemed that the time was very short and long, and Susie could vaguely see the dark outline of the house in front of her in the night rain.

The two of them easily walked to the house, and Qiao Muyi stretched out his hand to push the door open, "Go into the house." ”

Before Susie went to look for Ruan Zhonghua, Qiao Mu was depressed and found that there was a school not far from the threshing floor.

There are only two classrooms in the school, and the doors of the classrooms are not locked.

As soon as Susie entered the house, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

She was now soaking wet and feeling like she was showing signs of hypothermia.

Qiao Mu soon noticed that Susie was trembling, he got used to the darkness for a while, and after his eyes could barely see something, he quickly pulled Susie and pressed her to a chair and sat down, "You sit, I'll go get some firewood." ”

He was just about to leave, Susie's teeth trembled, and she reached out to hold him, "Don't go, it's raining so hard, you can't use firewood if you find it." ”

With such heavy rain and dark weather, she couldn't let Qiao Mu run around outside.

This is also the truth, Qiao Mu didn't dare to leave Susie, seeing that she was still shaking, he couldn't do it in a hurry, "Then you quickly take off your clothes outside, and I'll wring it out for you." ”

The soaked clothes did not have the slightest effect on the body, Susie saw that it was very dark around, and basically couldn't see anything clearly, so she gritted her teeth and took off her windbreaker, and Qiao Mu quickly wrung it out.

Susie then took off her sweater and wrung out the close-fitting autumn coat herself.

Just then, she heard the sound of rain outside, mixed with the sound of footsteps.

Susie was startled, and quickly grabbed the sweater handed over by Qiao Mu and put it on her body.

Although it was dark in this room, after getting used to it for a while, I could still see the general outline.

She was now in a dark room with a young man in disheveled clothes, and if she bumped into someone, the ghost knew what would come out.

But the more anxious she became, the more ghostly she became, and Susie couldn't find the neckline of her sweater for a while, but the footsteps sounded closer and closer.

Qiao Mu also thought of this problem, he quickly picked up Susie's windbreaker, then pulled Susie up, and walked to the corner of the classroom.

As soon as the two of them reached the corner, the classroom door was pushed open.

Susie hurriedly squatted on the ground, and Qiao Mu also squatted down.

Then I heard someone speak, "Touch the ghost, it suddenly rained so hard, Lao Tzu was drenched." ”

This is spoken in the local dialect, and it seems to be from several nearby villages.

Then someone answered, "Damn, I've run so far, I haven't finished watching the movie, I'm just afraid I'll catch a cold tomorrow." ”

Then there were many people talking, and Susie fumbled in the dark to find the neckline of her sweater, which she put on with a shudder.

Fortunately, the people were talking, and no one noticed the small movement in the corner.
