Chapter 15: Knocking on the Door

"It's a landslide! The water is rising! ”

The sound seemed to be getting closer.

After a while, a gray figure appeared in the rain, it was an old man in a robe.

"Brother!" The girl called out to the teenager, "Did Mom say that you would go home today?" ”

Jiang's mother has been at the boss's side for several days, and she really can't rest assured that she can't leave home, so she called yesterday and said that she had prepared a raincoat and wanted to go home today.

The young man's heart tightened, and he ran to the door in the rain, holding on to the door frame, and shouted at the people outside: "Uncle! Where is the landslide! ”

The rickety figure stopped, with a thick local accent: "The dead baby is slipping over there!" He looked closely. Jiang family boy, what about your family? ”

The boy replied, "My mother is in town!" ”

The old man said: "Then tell the girl not to go to the ditch, all the places near the river are full of water!" It's not going to work! ”

"But Mom is already on her way!" The girl's voice came from behind her.

The boy turned his head, and the girl didn't know when she had arrived next to him.

The young man lifted the corner of his clothes and shrouded the girl's head under his clothes, and shouted at the old man: "Uncle, can you tell me where the road is broken and I can go and see?" ”

The old man hesitated, he was telling the others not to take that road, and he was also calling for some of the spare strong laborers to watch the situation and make some moves, but he was still not very worried about the young man going to be a half-old boy.

The young man said, "Tell me, Abel, I promise not to cause trouble." The boy looked down at his sister, "I'll just go and make sure my mother didn't take that way." ”

The old man still told him, after all, it is better to know where it is than for a child to run away without knowing the height of the sky.

The boy took the girl back to the house, squatted down, and held the girl's face: "I'll go out to see what's going on, and you'll wait at home for me to know?" ”

The girl tugged at the boy's cuffs: "I'm going too!" ”

"Where are you going?" The young man's subordinates exerted force, and the girl's face was squeezed and her mouth pouted, "You are not as high as a puddle on the side of the road, and I can't even see you when you fall." ”

The girl struggled under the boy's hand, and grabbed his hand that was ravaging her face: "I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!" ”

The boy couldn't let go of her beak, let go of her, and turned around the room to find a raincoat: "Don't even think about it." ”

The girl circled around him like a little tail, and the boy took a slightly larger raincoat and put it on his body, which was an off-white raincoat, and the originally smooth and transparent fabric had many scratches on it.

The boy picked up the red plastic rope wrapped around the cabinet, straightened it, and hastily rolled it into a roll.

Pushing open the door, the smell of the wind and the dirt filled his arms, the young man's breath stagnated, and thunder exploded in the sky.

The boy turned to the girl and shouted, "Do you know how to stay at home?" I'll be back soon. The boy thought for a moment and added, "Come back before eating, if you're hungry, there's biscuits in the cupboard." ”

"Boom!"

A meandering electric light crawled across the sky, and the sky that had been as cloudy as night was bright.

The girl shuddered, cried out with a 'wow', and called out to her brother incoherently.

The girl was dragging the cuffs into the corners of the raincoat, and the already scarred raincoat was even worse.

The young man sighed, but he still couldn't make up his mind to pull out his clothes and leave her, and squatted in front of her again to coax her: "Doesn't Yaoyao want to learn martial arts?" You watch the martial artists on TV have to overcome difficulties and cultivate their state of mind, is it okay for Yaoyao to face thunder at home? ”

The girl cried and nodded, and the suppressed crying turned into a choked sob.

The boy had no choice but to take a look, and it would only take an hour to go back and forth at his speed, even if it rained, it would only take two hours, and it was not that he would not come back.

The girl finally wiped away her tears and let go of the poor raincoat.

The boy turned and plunged into the rain, and soon only a gray figure remained in the heavy sky.

The girl stepped on the threshold with the doorframe, stood on tiptoe, and could see the tip of the boy's gray hat.

The inky woods in the distance writhed wildly and strangely like monsters that were chosen to devour people under the fierce wind. The bright patch of the ground, under the thunderous light, saw the white, writhing, and sinuous bodies of many earthworm bubbles.

The huge raindrops were connected, and the water flowed down the eaves, like a curtain of water, blurring the figure of the young man.

Under the water curtain, the girl tried to stand on tiptoe and look, but her vision was still blurred, just like the day her father left home.

"Yaoyao~"

Under the loud white noise, even the drum-like sound of grandpa in the past seemed faint and faint.

"Yaoyao is here to bake the fire!" Grandpa's voice was hazy, coming from afar, like an ordinary winter day.

Grandpa suffered a lot in his early years in order to support his family, and when he was old, when it rained, his knees hurt like a wind blowing through the canyon.

"Whew~" A gust of wind blew, and countless raindrops rushed over, mixed with the fishy smell of rain, and the girl had to hold her breath under the fierce attack of the wind.

Before going out, my mother told my brother and sister to take care of my grandfather, and it was not easy for my grandfather to act on a rainy day.

"Alas!" The girl pressed the door and ran down the eaves to the back room.

The sky flashed for a moment, and then a "boom" explosion drowned out the girl's voice.

Ran to the back room, there was a bonfire in the house, and the small window on the side of the house was open, and the wind was pouring in.

The girl closed the door, and there was a tooth-sore sound from the old metal room.

The old man sat on a chair beside him, with a small blanket on his lap to block the wind.

The wood in the fire crackled. The old man picked up the tongs and fiddled with them, and the wood on the fire gurgled and rolled down, bringing up a string of sparks, and the flames flew upward.

The tongs were in the old man's hand, making a clear sound on the ground. The wind blowing the door was blowing flames, the old man leaned back, and the bamboo chair 'creaked': "Yaoyao, take two sweet potatoes, put them on the fire, and grandpa will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat." ”

The girl picked among the sweet potato piles in the corner of the house, carried four of them into the fire, and sat down on the small bench.

The old man sighed, and hurriedly picked up the tongs and pulled out the sweet potatoes from the fire, piled them on the ashes next to them, and buried them.

The child could not sit still, and the girl was never allowed to play with fire at home, and the girl only listened to her grandfather's chatter to bury herself in the warm ashes by the fire, so that the sweet potato would not burn: but the heart flew out of the window.

The girl didn't respond, and the old man lowered his head and sighed, stopping chattering.

A sweet potato gurgled and rolled at the girl's feet.

"Yaoyao, the sweet potatoes are ripe, eat them quickly." Grandpa knocked on the ground with tongs, pulled out the sweet potato in the ashes, pinched one, and handed it to the girl while blowing.

The girl shook her head and replied obediently: "Grandpa eats, Yaoyao waits for her brother and mother to come back and eat together." ”

The rain outside the window was not light.

'Boom'

The sky was like a mad beast, and the lightning was dense into a net, and the little face of the girl who shone was pale.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a knock on the door in the distance.

Come back, come back! I was too busy some time ago, but it should be a little better after that, thank you very much for your support
