"Here we are...... He's coming......"

"Who? Who's coming?"

Tick...... Tick......

The cold feeling slowly spread from his face to his neck, and Ling Jiang opened his eyes from his deep sleep.

Ignoring the slight pain in his drowsy head, he subconsciously wiped the water stains on his face with his hands.

Tick...... Tick......

There was a steady stream of water dripping, and the sound of whirring wind and majestic rain echoed in my ears.

Ling Jiang sat up from the bed suddenly, as if he realized something, and said in surprise: "Water leaking?"

He was about to roll over and get out of bed to light the lamp, but he stepped onto the slippery floor. Gradually getting used to the sight of the night, Ling Jiang realized that there were many leaks in this grass hut, and if it continued for another hour, the grass hut would have to be waterlogged.

Ling Jiang lit the oil lamp, and Ya'er, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, also woke up, and asked sleepily, "What's wrong, Son?"

"It's leaking!" Ling Jiang said hurriedly.

"What?" Ya'er heard and instantly came to her senses. Their thatched hut can't withstand the wind and rain, and water leakage is a common thing all year round, so every time the wind and rain come, the two of them will use the prepared straw mats to reinforce the roof in advance. But today Ling Jiang was drunk, and Ya'er didn't dare to climb on the roof alone.

When she got up, Ling Jiang had already put on a robe and was about to go out with a lantern.

"Childe, the straw mat and ladder are at the back of the house. Ya'er reminded.

Ling Jiang nodded: "I know." ”

The lanterns were easily extinguished by the rain, so Ling Jiang had to walk along the eaves. When I came to the back of the hut, I found a place to set up a lantern, and then climbed up the wooden ladder on a straw mat.

Covering the hole with a straw mat, Ling Jiang climbed down again, took a straw mat and a stone on it, and filled the remaining holes again.

The rain was very heavy, even if he was wearing a coat and a hat, Ling Jiang's face and hair were still wet, and the clothes inside were also wet and cold. The rain hit his body like beans falling, and he felt a slight pain.

The ladder had been washed bright by the rain, and when Ling Jiang came down, he accidentally stepped into the air, and his whole face fell on the ladder with a snap.

"Childe......" Ya'er's voice suddenly came into Ling Jiang's ears.

He looked sideways and saw Ya'er holding an oil umbrella, and the strong wind couldn't stop blowing her long hair and dress.

Ling Jiang propped himself up from the ladder, bowed his head and said, "Ya'er, what are you doing here, go back to the house quickly." ”

The rain was so heavy that he was really afraid that Ya'er would catch the wind cold.

Ya'er said with a worried look: "Ya'er is worried about you......"

"Well, it's okay, you can go back quickly. Ling Jiang smiled at Ya'er.

At this moment, I saw Ya'er open her mouth and shout with a panicked face: "Childe, be careful above!"

When Ling Jiang heard this, he immediately looked up. At some point, a black figure climbed up the roof, this figure was not large, but he was holding something high in his hand, and he wanted to fall down the ladder.

Ling Jiang frowned, his feet stared at the ladder and fell into the mud, and a stone also fell down the ladder after him.

Ling Jiang looked at it, wasn't this the stone he had just lifted?

Ling Jiang couldn't help but be afraid, how could this stone weigh nearly a catty, if he was smashed on the head, even if he didn't die, he would have to pass out.

As soon as he got up from the ground, he heard Ya'er exclaim, "He's coming down!"

I saw that the black shadow actually climbed down the ladder, but the movement was very twisted, as if it was the first time to climb the ladder.

Ling Jiang walked quickly to Ya'er's side, lifted the lantern and pulled Ya'er to turn around and leave.

They returned to the front door, but were stopped by a dark shadow. This black shadow was about the same length as the one just now, about half a man tall, slightly fat, with short limbs but very powerful.

Ling Jiang raised the lantern and took a closer look, it was actually a monkey!

Dressed in black scales, his face was very weird, but Ling Jiang couldn't even think that this was a monkey, he hadn't seen a monkey with a fish mouth yet!

Ling Jiang subconsciously looked back, and the monkey that climbed down from the roof also followed, and he didn't forget to lift the stone in his hand.

Ling Jiang clenched his fists, if it was just a monkey, he was not very worried, how could he say that he had also practiced walking piles for a month, but these two monkeys were together, how could he know how strong their hands were?

Bang!

At this time, the monkey at the front door was suddenly slapped to the ground with a stick.

"Ling Jiang, hurry!" followed by Rhubarb's voice.

Ling Jiang took Ya'er's hand and took the opportunity to rush out, and the heavy rain quickly extinguished the lantern in his hand, but fortunately, the oil lamp in the house could barely illuminate the surroundings.

Rhubarb was also dressed in a lily coat and carried a hoe in his hand.

Seeing Rhubarb come to help, Ling Jiang was somewhat relieved, and he hurriedly asked, "Rhubarb, what are these things?"

"Sea monkeys. "They usually live in the sea, how can they run to the shore?"

Ling Jiang was surprised: "There are actually sea monkeys?"

Now is not the time to speak, Rhubarb clenched his hoe and looked intently at the two sea monkeys in front of him, they stood in the rain and howled, very scary.

"Childe, there are over there!" Ya'er pulled the corner of Ling Jiang and pointed in the direction of the well.

Ling Jiang sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly looked around.

There are only sea monkeys surrounding them from all directions, and this posture makes me feel panicked when I think about it.

"There are too many sea monkeys, let's escape. Rhubarb took a step back and whispered.

Ling Jiang asked, "Where to escape?"

"Back mountain!" Rhubarb said involuntarily, and ran towards the hill behind the thatched hut.

He raised his hoe aloft and slammed away the sea monkey that was blocking the way in front of him, and rushed out. Ling Jiang didn't dare to hesitate, pulling Ya'er to follow Rhubarb's pace and bypass the sea monkey.

As Ya'er passed by the sea monkey, he happened to be quickly pulled by his heel, and he couldn't help but scream in fright.

Ling Jiang turned around and rushed forward, and simply kicked the sea monkey's head neatly, causing him to scream in pain.

"You can do it, Ling Jiang. "Rhubarb didn't expect that a showman could have such skills.

Ling Jiang smiled and gestured, without explanation, the three of them almost rushed to the back mountain as fast as they could.

"It's broken!" shouted Rhubarb as he ran, "I didn't bring flint, how will we light a fire when we go up the mountain." ”

Ling Jiang replied: "I have a fire fold here, and it should still be usable." ”

Rhubarb also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's okay, I remember that there is a hole in the mountain, let's go there to take shelter from the rain, the sea monkeys are the most afraid of heights, and they will definitely not dare to go up." ”

Now Ling Jiang finally understood why the sea monkey on the roof walked so awkwardly when he got down the ladder.

"But Childe, this mountain behind you is a grave mountain......" Ya'er held an umbrella, her tone full of fear.

"The grave mountain is the grave mountain, and it is not in the way. Rhubarb smiled, "Ling Jiang and I used to dig graves when we were young, aren't we still alive and well?"

When Ling Jiang heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and thought to himself, "Is there such a thing?"

In the end, when I was a child, I was not afraid of heaven and earth, and when I grew up, I was afraid of that, not to mention letting him dig the grave, even if he went to the grave mountain alone in broad daylight, he probably had to break out in a cold sweat.

It was dark on the mountain, and Ling Jiang had lost the lantern that was not lit early.

The torrential rain was slippery, and the mountain road became extremely difficult to walk, but fortunately, with rhubarb in front of the road, it became much easier for everyone to go up the mountain. But even so, Ya'er walked in front of Ling Jiang, and the soles of her feet slipped from time to time.

Before she was halfway up the mountain, Ya'er's white dress was already stained with a lot of mud.

Ling Jiang looked back, and there was indeed not a single sea monkey found on the curved and steep mountain road, and he felt quite grateful to Rhubarb in his heart.

Ya'er asked as she walked, "Brother Rhubarb, how did you know that we were entangled by sea monkeys?"

When Rhubarb heard this, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "I got up to pee, and saw that there was a light in your house, and there were still figures walking around outside the house, and I thought it was a leak in the house and wanted to go out to help, who wanted to go out to see, it was actually a sea monkey." You don't know, it really scared me out at the time, so I picked up the guy and rushed up and smacked the sea monkey on the head. ”

Rhubarb was talking as he walked, and in the blink of an eye, several low graves were revealed. This is the first time that Ling Jiang has gone to the tomb mountain for half a mile, and he always feels empty in his heart, so uncomfortable.
