At night, the rain is getting heavier.

Seeing that the sky seemed to be leaking, Su Rou kept falling down and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, it seems that we can't enter the mountain tomorrow?"

Zhao Xu said: "Let's see if the rain can stop tomorrow!"

After dinner, Zhao Xu and Su Rou chatted with the woman for a while.

Only then did I realize that the woman was called "Zhou Mei!"

Zhao Xu and Su Rou called the woman "Aunt Mei".

Zhou Mei said that her husband went out to work three years ago and only went home once a year. Both of his parents-in-law died, and only she and the children depended on each other.

However, the people in the entire village are not much better than her.

Every household is a young and old, orphan and widowed mother.

In the village, there are few outsiders coming except for the "scientific expedition team".

When talking about the "scientific expedition team", Zhao Xu was very interested and asked Zhou Mei: "Aunt Mei, what project will the scientific expedition team take to inspect?"

"Ape Man!"

Zhou Mei explained: "There is a professor who discovered the ape man more than two million years ago here. So, the scientific expedition team always comes to them."

Su Ru said: "I remember Li Bai wrote a poem that he once wrote. The white emperor's colorful clouds in the morning, and Jiangling was back in a day. The sound of apes on both sides could not stop crying, and the light boats had already passed thousands of mountains. It is possible that there were really apes here."

Zhou Mei sighed: "I don't know if there are any apes or men, but there must be savages."

"Savage?"

Zhao Xu and Su Rou were shocked.

Zhou Mei said "Yeah!", nodded, and said, "I once went to Dawu Mountain with the villagers to collect herbs. The savages suddenly rushed out and dragged some villagers away. When they found out, there were only bones left and they might have been eaten alive."

"Isn't it Shennong's wild man stand, are there savages there?"

"There are also here!" Zhou Mei said.

Zhao Xu frowned and asked Zhou Mei: "Aunt Mei, when did this happen?"

"Three years ago! We went to Dawu Mountain to collect herbs and could make a living. But later, savages appeared here, and the villagers did not dare to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Some young people went out to work. Alas! This kind of life is actually like a widow, and it feels really bad."

Zhao Xu and Su Rou both sympathize with Zhou Mei, but everyone's lives are different from each other. They cannot help change.

After chatting, Zhao Xu and Su Rou returned to their house early.

The house is not big, and in this pit, there can only be three people sleeping together.

What made Zhao Xu feel extremely depressed was that Zhou Mei only brought one quilt for the two of them.

Su Rou complained to Zhao Xu: "I asked you to explain to Aunt Mei, you just don't listen. Now, we'll just have a quilt. How can we sleep?"

"You cover the quilt and I cover the clothes!"

"What can I do? What if you get infected with wind and cold?"

Zhao Xu smiled and explained to Su Rou: "I am a martial arts practitioner. It is common for me to sleep in the open and sleep in the wind and eat, so why not so pretentious!"

"But I'm so embarrassed!"

"Oh! Officer Su, when did you become such a mother-in-law when did you do things?"

"Okay! Then I'm not polite. But, I'm going to change my clothes, you turn around first." Su Rou said.

Zhao Xu said "Yes!" and came to the door, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and squatted there smoking.

After Su Rou changed her clothes, she said to Zhao Xu: "I've changed it, you can turn around!"

"I'll finish smoking later."

After taking a few more sips, Zhao Xu bounced his fingers and flew the cigarette butt into the yard.

After returning, I saw that Su Rou had already gotten into the bed.

After Zhao Xu took off his coat, he also got on the kang and lay on the kang with his clothes.

For a moment, the room suddenly became quiet. Only the two of them could breathe each other.

"you!......"

"you!......"

Zhao Xu and Su Rou said the word "you!" at the same time.

"You talk first!" Su Rou said to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and said to Su Ju: "Official Su, do you remember what she said to us when we went to see the witch?"

"Remember! She said that our trip to Dawu Mountain will last forever!"

"Are you afraid?" Zhao Xu asked.

Su Rou replied: "With you here, what are you afraid of! Nine-death lives mean that there is still survival. It's not about going without birth!"

"You are quite optimistic! By the way, the witch also said that we can't leave tomorrow. In addition, it was not only the two of us who came here, but also said that one of them was not human."

"Yes!" Su Rou said: "Although the rain was not particularly heavy, it never stopped. Maybe we really can't leave tomorrow. Who would be the ones traveling with us besides the two of us?"

Zhao Xu said: "It may be someone from that scientific expedition team."

"How many of them are there?" Su Rou asked.

Zhao Xu replied: "There are nine!"

Su Rou thought for a while and said, "If we can't leave tomorrow, at worst, we can get up early on the third day. If we don't believe it, we can still walk with them."

"Well! That's all."

Zhao Xu turned around and looked at Su Rou and said, "What puzzles me is that the witch said that one of the people we travel with was not a human, and I don't know what it means?"

"Is it a ghost?" When Su Rou finished saying this, another thunder erupted in the air.

Su Rou was so scared that she shrank into the quilt, then poked her head out again, and said to Zhao Xu: "It's big night, so don't talk about this topic."

"Officer Su, aren't you usually brave? Why are you so timid all of a sudden?"

"He's a girl too!"

Su Rou smiled and looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "If your wife knew that we were living on the same kang, you might not be able to wash it even if you jumped into the Yellow River."

"The Qing is the Qing! Qingqing will understand and understand me."

"What? Do you doubt that I am not charming enough?"

Zhao Xu hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that! I mean, I'm not that kind of person."

"It seems like I am such a person! If it weren't for your help from me repeatedly, I wouldn't have suffered this crime and entered the mountain with you. After you go back, think about how to compensate me!"

The two of them chatted together, and as they were chatting, Su Rou was so sleepy that she was just chatting to bed.

Zhao Xu fell asleep quickly too!

But in my sleep, I still remain highly vigilant.

This place is not like a hotel, but to a strange place.

Especially the "witch" saying "nine deaths" made Zhao Xu feel scared. He didn't know the future, and there was any unknown danger waiting for them.

The next day, it was still raining outside.

When Zhao Xu looked at the weather, he saw that the sky was gray and it didn't look like it was sunny. It seemed that he really had to continue living here today.
