Volume 1 Spring and Autumn Chapter 40: The Source of the Plague (2)
Half an hour before nightfall, God finally stopped to catch his breath.
After the rain, the country road is very muddy and slippery, and it is not easy to hurry. But even so, two fast horses were galloping forward and backward on the country road, and the muddy water was splashed at least three feet high!
The horse in front wants to get rid of the horse behind him, and the horse behind wants to follow the horse in front of him. Such a pulling chase lasted for half an hour......
In the afterglow of the night, as the sun fell, a small ruined village appeared not far away.
The arrival of the small village also ended the chase, and Qin Yinglan found a place to tie the horse to the eaves at the entrance of the village. Di Yunfeng found a dead tree thirty zhang away from the entrance of the village to tie the horse up, and Yinglan would let Di Yunfeng keep her distance, which proved that her bottom line had not been broken.
The scale of "Hongyan Village" is not small or large, more than 30 households, the houses are all made of mud and stone and blue tile buildings, which can be used to protect against rain, and if it is used to resist strong winds, it is a little difficult.
When Di Yunfeng entered the village, night had completely fallen, and at this time, a light rain fell from the sky again, and the wind began to blow stronger and stronger. He didn't light the fire, because only by letting Qin Yinglan shine alone in the night could he see it more clearly.
Qin Yinglan held a bright stone in her hand, not afraid of wind and rain, and was as bright as a star in the night sky. I have to say that this girl is really bold, and she took advantage of the night to search and investigate from house to house.
"Boom!" There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the light rain finally turned into a torrential rain, and the wind suddenly blew, rolling up the green tiles on the house!
Qin Yinglan could only stop searching, and found a sturdy house, and after walking in, the door was closed with a "pop!" sound. This action seemed to tell Di Yunfeng, who was not far away: Don't disturb idlers!
Di Yunfeng put on his coat tightly and lowered his hat, and stood on the roof of the house where Qin Yinglan lived, letting the rain and wind blow, standing like a pine without wavering, he had suffered a lot, and even bathed in the Yellow River, so this bit of wind and rain was really nothing.
"Boom!" The thunder continued to run through the night, the lightning that swept through it was like a trace of the sky, the heavy rain poured down like a river in the sky, and the wind dragged the bricks and tiles up and fell hard!
"Huh-" The door was opened, a flash of fire came out first, and then Qin Yinglan pulled out the umbrella, she glared at Di Yunfeng, who was as straight as a pine on the roof, and shouted, "Can't you come in?"
The corners of Di Yunfeng's mouth rose slightly, Qin Yinglan can be a cold girl, but she will never be a bad girl. He shook his head and said, "I'm going to be disgusted by you when I come in, and I'm not going to come in." ”
"Then you should die!" Qin Yinglan cursed, and ran back to the house angrily, but she didn't wait for half an hour before she pushed the door and walked out again, this time her tone was a little more polite, and asked Di Yunfeng, "You really don't plan to come in?"
"If you don't recognize me as a partner, I won't come in. Di Yunfeng said.
"I can still bear you if you let you into the house, don't you? I'll see how long you can last tonight!" Qin Yinglan slammed the door and entered the house again.
Two hours later, on the second watch, the rain was roaring and the wind was screaming, during which Qin Yinglan came out a total of eight times, and the more frequent it became...... This time, she gently pushed open the door, walked out of the house with a long sigh, waved at Di Yunfeng on the roof, and compromised: "Idiot, you won, come down quickly, I recognize you as a partner." ”
Perseverance determines the direction, and patience changes the result.
The corners of Di Yunfeng's mouth curled slightly, and then he was willing to jump off the roof, walked into the house unceremoniously, and took advantage of Qin Yinglan's inattention to take out a jar of wine from the storage bag and put it on the oven to warm the wine.
Night, wind and rain, stove, shochu...... Beauty, this night is not bad.
"Where did you get the wine?" Qin Yinglan sat down along the oven, Di Yunfeng's perseverance seemed to have deeply impressed her, and her tone of voice was much gentler.
Di Yunfeng said casually: "Fang Cai's feet were numb, and when he went out to move, he saw it and brought it back." ”
Qin Yinglan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "I thought you had nails on your feet." ”
The wine is warm, fragrant, and fills the room. Qin Yinglan quickly took down the wine jar from Di Yunfeng, she was about to hold the jar to drink, but Di Yunfeng snatched the wine jar away, shook her head and said, "You can't drink this thing." ”
"Why?" Qin Yinglan frowned slightly.
"This wine is strong. Di Yunfeng took a sip and said, "Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and at least one of them can't drink." ”
"Where is the temperature of the wine? Qin Yinglan snatched the wine jar again, swallowed a few big mouthfuls in one fell swoop, but her face did not change and her heart did not beat like this, and she was a good drinker at a glance!"What a wonderful wine, Di Shaoxia, where are you from?" she returned the wine jar and was not greedy for a cup.
"It seems that everyone will ask me where I am when they drink wine," Di Yunfeng took a sip of warm wine, and then said indifferently: "The prodigal son of the end of the world, the four seas are home." ”
"Then you always have a place of birth, don't you?" asked Qin Yinglan.
Di Yunfeng smiled proudly and said: "Born in the red dust, I am the son of heaven. ”
"Cut, I thought you were a steady person, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous. ”
"You have known me for less than half a day, how do you know who I am?"
"I guess. ”
"Guessing is the stupidest idea in the world, especially your guess that has only been with me for less than half a day, is groundless and meaningless. ”
Qin Yinglan sighed lightly: "The other three didn't choose you, I thought you were the worst, but I didn't expect you to be a person with great wisdom." ”
Di Yunfeng waved his hand and said, "People with great wisdom will not work for others. ”
"Oh, you're not here to work for Yangmen, what is your purpose?" Qin Yinglan looked at Di Yunfeng slyly.
What a smart woman!
Di Yunfeng's gaze was temporarily avoided, and he moved aside with the wine jar, this woman seemed to see through his thoughts, this is not good news.
Qin Yinglan laughed and said, "Haha, it's really an interesting person." Let's not joke with you, let's discuss the next plan, and don't forget that we're already in danger. ”
Di Yunfeng said: "I'm just an auxiliary person, the decision-making power is yours, everything is up to you." ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you my opinion," Qin Yinglan paused before speaking: "There are three villages in the south, Hongyan Village where we are located, Baishi Village further up, and finally Nanyang Village, of which Nanyang Village is the largest, at least two hundred households, and Baishi Village is the smallest, with more than a dozen small households, so our main experience is still in Nanyang Village." As for saving people, it is really a slim thing, and we have only found almost all the people in Hongyan Village, but they are all empty, and there is not even a trace of death. ”
Di Yunfeng pursed his lips and analyzed on his own: "As far as I know, if a person dies in the coastal area for no reason, he is not allowed to stay at home, and he must place an ancestral hall to invite a monk to surpass the Dharma, so——"
"Monk, transcendence?" Qin Yinglan looked at Di Yunfeng in confusion.
Di Yunfeng raised his eyebrows, only to remember that this was a foreign country, and it seemed that he had never seen a monk with a shaved head on the Emperor Zhenwu. He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Well, a friend of mine told me that his family lives by the sea...... But none of this is important, we can go to the ancestral hall in the village tomorrow to have a look. ”
Qin Yinglan leaned closer to Di Yunfeng's face and said suspiciously: "How could Di Shaoxia, such a calm person, be so anxious and flustered by an inexplicable question?
"If Qin Nuxia has to ask, I think I'd better go outside and get drenched in the rain......" Di Yunfeng wanted to get up, Qin Yinglan shouted to him with a "poof" smile: "Di Shaoxia is really a lovely person - okay, tomorrow will depend on you."
