The clouds on the gloomy sky have slowly turned black, and the whole air is filled with a depressing feeling. wWw.QuANbEn-XiAoShUo.CoM The storm is about to come, but what precedes it is the sultry, humid and almost crazy feeling of stagnation.
A vast forest blocked most of the sunlight in the sky. It was almost midnight in the afternoon, and the viscous feeling in the air was getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the boundless woods around him, the mistress frowned and said, "Master, depending on the situation, we have to sleep in the open tonight. We'll take advantage of the rain before it starts." Find a tree that can protect you from the rain."
Xiaosi was carrying his baggage and searching for a place that could provide shelter from the rain. When he heard Xiao Yueye asking questions, he smiled and said, "Yes, when my brother and I were sleeping in the open, we saw many trees struck by lightning."
According to the laws of online novels I read before, immortality is the biggest characteristic of the time-travelling clan. But after all, this is a novel. Xiao Yueye doesn't think he is an invincible Xiaoqiang, but now he has no choice but to nod.
It is said that Xiao Yueye and the others left Huiyizhou and headed south two days ago. Originally, the three of them were galloping along the official road, but later they wanted to go to some remote areas to find some herbal poisons. A lot of poison had been used on Xiao Yueye's body and there was no chance to replenish it. Who knew that the road in the mountains had so many twists and turns that the three of us got lost. In the end, we could only watch the sun go south and let the horses go because they were not suitable for hiking.
The clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower, and the wind is getting stronger. This is a sign that it will rain. The wind blows through the leaves and brings out the sound of "haloxylon ammodendron". Because there are trees blocking the wind, the wind in the forest swirls and makes the fallen leaves on the ground float for a while.
After all, the experienced mistress and mistress quickly found a place. Here is a big tree with its branches and leaves intertwined with other trees and many vines climbing on the branches. Under the big tree is a small patch of grass and a lot of thorns. But the location is really good and open.
Xiao San took out the soft sword from his waist and waved it with a few flickers of silver light, cutting off all the thorns and weeds. Xiaosi then took a step forward and used a gentle inner force to blow away all the debris, revealing a flat piece of grass.
With a tacit understanding, Xiaosan took out the oilcloth from the bag and found some branches. Xiaosi and Xiaosi skillfully set up something similar to a tent.
This tent is relatively simple. Xiaosan and Xiaosi cut four branches and inserted them into the ground to form an outline. Then they found some vines and twisted them into ropes. They tied the branches horizontally to each other to form a cube-like model. Finally, put the tarpaulin on top and find some rocks to press it down around it. A tent that can shelter from wind and rain is ready.
Xiao Yueye was surprised to see that Xiaosan and Xiaosi had completed such a tent in less than a cup of tea. He raised his lips and hugged the two of them and said, "Good guys, I never knew you two were capable of this?!"
Xiaosi smiled proudly and said, "Master, my brother and I know a lot of things!"
The mistress smiled but didn't show off like the mistress. He picked up some dry wood and rocks from the side and put them into the tent. He nodded to Xiao Yueye and said, "Master, let's go in. It will rain soon."
This tent is not big but it is more than enough to cover three people. Seeing white lights flashing on the horizon, Xiao Yueye and the others hurriedly hid in the tent.
Xiao Si picked up the stones and used his inner strength to break the large rocks into pieces and then formed a circle. The mistress broke off the dead wood and carefully put it into the circle.
"Oh, it's hard to light a fire without some flammable dry grass, brother." The little four monster said in annoyance.
Xiaosan also frowned and looked at the dry firewood and said, "Forget it, just order it like this. Xiaosi, go and lift a corner of the oilcloth and wait for the smoke to be very strong."
Xiao Yueye felt like she was doing nothing as she watched them perform every task skillfully. Seeing this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Mistress, just leave it to me to light the fire."
The younger ones were a little confused but didn't say anything. With a mysterious smile, Xiao Yueye took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and carefully sprinkled some shining silver powder on the bottom of the pile of dead firewood. Then she took out a fire stick and blew it on fire to light the dead branches at the bottom.
In the astonishment of Xiao San and Xiao Si, the dry firewood started to burn easily. "Puff", the flames stretched out their tongues and quickly devoured the dry firewood, and the fire suddenly became brighter.
Xiao Si curiously looked at the porcelain bottle in Xiao Yueye's hand and asked, "What kind of treasure is this, Master?"
Yang Yang Xiao Yueye said: "This is called red phosphorus powder. I made it by grinding dead people's bones, flint, etc. into powder."
The fourth boy shrank back, stuck out his tongue and said, "Dead people's bones are so disgusting."
Xiao San carefully added firewood to the fire and said with a smile: "Xiao Si, don't underestimate this thing. I heard Master said that red phosphorus powder is very domineering and is more powerful than explosives."
The wind blew louder and louder, and the whistling sound echoed in the forest. The fierce wind blew on the oilcloth, bringing with it the sound of hunting. The thunder outside also rang, and the whole world became dark. There was no light in the forest. Fortunately, there was a fire. Occasionally, you will see white light shining as if it is about to split the sky.
The raindrops fell more and more quickly, hitting the oilcloth. Under such a warm and stormy situation outside, Xiao Yueye and the others took out some dry food and dried meat from the package and ate happily. From time to time, they took a sip of "Ji Kang Fuqin", which was really satisfying.
After a while, gasping sounds were heard from outside, followed by a man's rich voice: "My friends inside, can you lend me a seat so that we brothers can avoid the rain?"
There was enough space inside the tent for Xiao Yueye to shout: "Come in quickly."
The two men lifted up the rain cloth and walked in. They stamped their feet and hurriedly thanked Xiao Yueye.
Xiao Yueye and the others moved their seats to make room for these two people. Looking at their clothes and the bows and arrows they carry, they should be hunters in the mountains. One of them was a little older, had a long beard, high cheekbones and a fierce air. The other one seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Yueye, but he was shy and a very strong young man.
Pointing at Xiao Yueye, she said loudly: "Two friends, please come closer and warm yourself by the fire. Their clothes are wet. The mistress will give them a pot of wine to go away the cold."
The older man thanked him gratefully and said, "Thank you, little brother. My name is Dahu, and this is my younger brother, Ergouzi."
Big tiger? Ergouzi? This name is really strange. However, Xiao Yueye also knows that many rural families are superstitious about giving their children nicknames because they are afraid that they will not be able to raise their children well.
Dahu has the rough air of a typical northern man. His voice is loud and muffled. Without being polite, he took the wine bag thrown by the mistress, took a few sips boldly, and handed it to his younger brother.
"Good wine, really **** good wine. I have never drunk such good wine in my life!" Dahu roared with laughter and wiped his mouth casually.
Er Gouzi didn't say anything, but it was obvious from his gleaming eyes as he grabbed the wine bag and drank fiercely that he also liked the wine very much.
Dahu licked his lips when he saw him like this, but he took the wine bag from Er Gouzi's hand and wiped it with his sleeve, then sealed it and handed it to the mistress.
"Sorry, my brother drank too much. Such good wine is not something we mountain people can afford."
The mistress didn't take it but glanced at Xiao Yueye and said with a smile: "Brother Dahu, our young master invited you to drink this wine. What do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
Dahu hurriedly rubbed his hands and said with some stuttering: "I didn't mean that, I'm sorry."
Seeing that the mistress insisted that he was indeed commemorating the mellow aroma of the wine, Dahu smiled honestly and reached out to take it.
Xiao Yueye couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the people in the mountains are so simple. He said: "Brother Dahu, my name is Xiao Yueye and this is Xiaosanxiaosi. If you don't mind, just call me Xiaoye."
"Xiaoye hehe, you rich people even have nice names." Dahu scratched his head and moved closer to the fire.
Xiao Yueye threw her dry food and dried meat to Dahu and Ergouzi and asked casually: "Brother Dahu, do you live near here?"
Dahu has not eaten anything except breakfast today. He took it and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and said vaguely: "My village is still far away from here. I came back late today because I went to my uncle's house over the mountain to discuss marriage. "
Xiao Yueye took a look at Ergouzi who was blushing and munching steamed buns with some interest, and said, "Are you talking about marriage? Ergouzi?"
Dahu finished the meal in three gulps, five divided by two, and burped comfortably and said, "Hey, hey, yes, Xiaoye, you guessed right. Ergouzi will be fifteen during the Chinese New Year. A cousin of my uncle's family happens to be about the same age as Ergouzi." I’ll take him over to have a look. If this is the case, I’ll get rid of Ergouzi.”
Looking at Er Gouzi's size, Xiao Yueye couldn't believe that he was only fourteen. I am already relatively muscular among my peers, and this Ergouzi is similar to myself. If I were sixteen years old, my waistline would be three times thicker. But Xiao Yueye felt relieved when she saw Dahu's lumpy appearance.
Dahu patted Er Gouzi on the head and joked: "This little brat can't speak on weekdays, and he couldn't say anything when he saw the cousin. Fortunately, the other party is also willing to agree to marry her. By the way, Xiaoye, how can you do this? Here? "
Xiao Yueye touched her nose and said sheepishly: "We wanted to go to the south but got lost."
Dahu patted his chest and said boldly: "The relationship will be better. You can go to my house after the rain stops. It is difficult for outsiders to go out on my mountain road."
After Er Gouzi finished eating the food, he heard what Dahu said and said in a low voice: "Brother Earnxiao, please go and stay at my house. You are good people and my parents will definitely be very happy."
