Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 45: Take shelter from rain

Views:

Some things are well planned, but when they are executed, they start to run away like wild horses and gradually start to escape control.

No, no, no, this matter has never been under control from the beginning!

From the very beginning until now, Ruan Qing has not even seen the shadow of a cave.

It was not smooth from the first time I entered the mountain. It was obvious that she and Dashan were somewhat at odds with each other.

Ruan Qing hugged Erqi's neck tightly and buried her face.

Even so, the cold rain still splashes on his face. The hands and calves were exposed outside the raincoat, and they looked even colder.

In midsummer, I felt the coldness of winter.

Although he was held by the princess, the timing was wrong and he could not experience the beauty at all.

Although his eyes were closed, Ruan Qing could sense that Twenty-Seven was almost always moving at high speed in a "flying" manner. When it didn't rain before, he carried her on his back in the mountains, and he mainly stayed close to the ground and scurried. So we can know that "flying" should be very taxing on the body.

At this time, Twenty-Seven was at full strength, anxiously trying to find a place for Ruan Qing to take shelter from the rain.

She hugged her shoulders and shook her teeth and said, "What kind of place is this? Does it look like a haunted house?"

"Secretary, what should we do?" Everyone was worried.

Too bad, the center of the rain cloud's coverage area is in the direction of Ruan Qing.

Mountains and plains are completely different.

But they were luckier than Ruan Qing. They were on the edge of the rain cloud coverage area and the rain was light. But when Ruan Xiangyun saw this situation, he knew that he could not go deeper. It was too dangerous in the heavy rainy mountains. Nothing can happen to Ruan Qing, but nothing can happen to the villagers either.

It started raining suddenly and they got wet too.

Twenty-seven said: "I don't know. I saw there seemed to be eaves here just now from a high place, so I came here. Sure enough, there is a house."

And because it was exposed outside the raincoat, my calves were soaked. My hands are also cold.

"It's so lucky that there is a house here." Twenty-seven put her down.

I have seen reports before that a mountain marathon encountered extreme weather, which resulted in tragedy. The mountains are much more dangerous than the cities. If the villagers are in any danger because of her drama, the debt will be repaid in a lifetime.

After crossing the mountain, there was not a drop of rain on the other side of the mountain, it was completely dry.

The villagers walked very fast and climbed two mountains in more than an hour.

Not to mention the cold and uncomfortable feeling when you step on the ground.

It is unimaginable for city dwellers to encounter such extreme mountain weather in the middle of summer. Ruan Qing stood on the ground and took off his hat. His bangs were dripping with water, and his shoulders and fingertips were shaking from the cold.

Ruan Qing suddenly felt his body shake. Twenty-seven seemed to have changed direction

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of rain suddenly became quieter and far away from my ears. Twenty-seven also stopped.

Ruan Qing's shoes were soaked. Her shoes are super breathable sneakers, so water gets in quickly. Although it is leaking out now, the socks are already soaked.

Ruan Qing raised his head and saw that the dark house was actually a house.

A large area of the plains has essentially uniform weather. It's different in the mountains. It's common for the weather to be different on the sunny side and the weather on the shady side.

Ruan Xiangyun immediately asked everyone to move back.

A group of people stood on the top of the mountain, took off their raincoats, shook the water, and looked up.

This is not important. Ruan Qing quickly took out his mobile phone: "I quickly tell Uncle Xiangyun and the others not to come to me. Don't put yourself in danger again!"

Without saying a word, Ruan Xiangyun took out his cell phone and called Ruan Qing.

There is a signal on his side, but there is no signal on Ruan Qing's side and it is not in the service area.

Ruan Xiangyun was so anxious.

Ruan Qing is a city girl. Does she know how to avoid the rain in the mountains

I was so anxious for a while.

Fortunately, after a while, I suddenly received a message from Ruan Qing: [Uncle Xiangyun, the signal is not good, I hope the text message can be sent. It rained heavily suddenly. Although I brought a raincoat, I was still almost in danger. Fortunately, I met a man in the mountains and he took me to a house to take shelter from the rain. I'm safe now, where are you? Don't come to me yet, it's too dangerous! Be sure to be careful and safe! I'll send you a new location, and we'll figure it out when the rain stops. This person I met is quite nice. I also told him that you are looking for me, so don’t worry. Please ensure that I am safe, and please do not be in danger because of me.]

After that, a new positioning was sent, which was quite different from the previous positioning.

Although Ruan Xiangyun wondered how Ruan Qing could move such a long distance in the heavy rain with his sprained foot, he was greatly relieved that Ruan Qing was fine.

I called Ruan Qing immediately, but couldn't get through again. The signal in the mountains is really bad.

He had no choice but to reply to Ruan Qing: [We are all fine and safe. Who did you meet? Ask him to identify himself, and it's best to take a photo of him. Let him know that we know him.]

This is to prevent Ruan Qing from meeting bad people, and to make bad people afraid of committing crimes easily.

As long as the message from his side can be sent out, I don't know how long it will take for Ruan Qing to receive it.

Ruan Xiangyun looked up at the black clouds in the distance, feeling sad.

Ruan Qing was worried because there was no signal on the phone.

Twenty-seven said: "You send a message and write it down. I will take your mobile phone and go out to find a signal."

Ruan Qing bit his lip. To be honest, the hardest part today is twenty-seven. It was really unbearable for him to go out in the rain in this extreme weather.

But Ruan Qing was really afraid that Ruan Xiangyun would be eager to find her in danger.

"Then... thank you for your hard work." She could only say.

Running in the rain, the hood of the raincoat couldn't be worn, especially since he was still holding Ruan Qing. Twenty-seven's hat had already fallen down, and Ruan Qing only got his bangs wet. Most of his head was wet, and his collar was also wet.

Not to mention that the rainwater poured into his sleeves because he was holding Ruan Qing.

But Twenty-Seven didn't care. He said, "Don't worry, it's nothing to me. We were traveling out in the wind and rain, and there were tigers, wolves and insects. It was much more difficult than this."

He shook off his raincoat and said, "Don't talk about anything else. Do you know how heavy an oil-paper umbrella is? How can it be so light?"

Ruan Qing really feels that Twenty-Seven is a man with a particularly high emotional intelligence.

The problems he occasionally encounters are due to the generation gap, not to himself.

He knows how to take care of other people's emotions.

When it comes to being emotionally stable and being able to take care of others, Ruan Qing feels that Twenty-Seven is not inferior to the second generation she almost married.

She gave him her cell phone and told him, "Be careful. Just send it if you can. You don't have to wait for a reply. Go and get back as soon as possible."

Twenty-seven responded, took her mobile phone and put it into his waist, put on the hood of his raincoat, turned around, and disappeared from the door in a whoosh.

Ruan Qing was so frightened that she trembled again and again.

It was already cold, and there were dark clouds rolling in outside, and the wind was blowing wildly.

This dilapidated house was dark, as if it was dark, which was inherently scary. The ghostly figure of Twenty-Seven adds a bit of a haunted atmosphere.

Can Ruan Qing stop shaking

Her hands and feet were cold, very cold. Looking left and right, the dark house was covered with bricks. It's a rectangular brick. You can't tell whether it's a stone brick or a blue brick. It's not a red brick anyway.

It feels very old and has been deserted for a long time. There are several clumps of weeds growing in the cracks between the bricks, which are as high as half the height of someone's waist.

There are four square tables and many benches in the room.

The wooden door of the house was broken and the door panel fell to the ground. Animals may have come in, and several benches were lying on the ground. There are also some cabinets, some of which have fallen to the ground, and some of which have their doors open. You can see some porcelain such as dishes. There were also some broken pieces scattered among the weeds on the floor.

Apparently after everyone left, the animals came in and destroyed things in the house.

Ruan Qing stamped his feet and looked at the bench, which was covered with thick dust. But she was wearing a raincoat, so she wasn't afraid. She walked over and wanted to sit down.

Little did she know that the stool was broken a long time ago, and it collapsed as soon as she sat on it, causing her to sit on a big butt.

Ruan Qing was so angry that she got up and patted her butt. Looking around, she felt more and more eerie and scary in the room.

She was a little afraid to stay.

Although there were dark clouds rolling in outside, it was still brighter than inside the house, which was really too dark. Ruan Qing limped to the door and looked out.

When she came in just now, she was lying in Nianqi's arms and didn't see anything. Now when she looked outside, she realized that it was not a single house, but a long and flat yard.

There is a porch outside the house, but it is very dilapidated, with several pieces collapsed.

It has a very traditional courtyard structure, with a corner door leading to the verandah. Obviously, this is not the only way to enter the courtyard, and this should be the last of several.

Based on Ruan Qing's many years of experience in reading ancient Chinese and his understanding of traditional architecture, do you think this should be a back room

Almost the same.

But now, it is extremely desolate, some windows are broken and have fallen to the ground, and the window holes are dark.

Like a haunted house.

The verandah on one side is still intact. Ruan Qing limped along the verandah and passed through the corner door. Sure enough, there was a larger courtyard in front, very spacious, and the open space in the middle was almost a small square.

It doesn't feel like an ordinary residence.

In ordinary residential buildings, the main room and wing rooms are staggered at different heights and can be distinguished very clearly.

The houses in this courtyard are neatly arranged in one row, one row on the left and one on the right, all at the same height. I guess every room inside should be similar.

It feels like a dormitory.

Some doors and windows were also broken, and several collapsed. The originally open yard was also overgrown with weeds, so high that it almost blocked the view.

But that's not even the front yard. There are more ahead.

Moreover, the building in front looks taller than ordinary residential buildings, and the shape of the eaves is not typical of ordinary residential buildings.

Dark clouds, turbulent winds, icy rain, weedy yards, tall old houses.

It feels a bit like Lanruo Temple.

Scary!

How could there be such a place in the deep mountains and old forests? What on earth is this place

Just when he thought of this question, a bolt of lightning lit up the world and Ruan Qing's heart!

Here, could it be!
