Chapter 6 The Storm(1/2)

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a loud banging on the door.

"Are you okay?"

The sound of the wind carried a man's cry, and the light of a flashlight flickered outside the window.

Tao Nanfeng opened the door, and the strong wind blew heavy rain in his face. Lightning struck down, and it was as bright as day in an instant.

Under the bamboo hat is a chiseled face with anxious eyes and broad shoulders. The clothes are soaked and cling to the body, dripping wetly.

It's to the north.

Xiang Bei changed his usual silence, held a flashlight in one hand, quickly took a look at the situation in the room, and said loudly: "The wind is too strong, this room can't withstand it. Hurry up and pack your important items and retreat to the venue!"

After that, he went to the other two rooms and banged on the door loudly.

The sound of wind, rain, knocking on the door, shouting...

The various sounds gathered together made Tao Nanfeng's heart shrink and an ominous premonition arose.

The dream scene came to mind again. Tao Nanfeng became nervous, took out his raincoat and rain boots from his luggage and put them on, while the other three girls hurriedly packed their things.

Xiao Aiyun was reluctant to part with this and that. Ye Qin insisted on carrying her precious pillow to the field department, which made Li Huilan stomp her feet in anxiety.

"Where can I move with so many things? Leave quickly, otherwise the house will collapse and you will lose your life!"

Tao Nanfeng thought for a while, pulled a piece of plastic sheet from the corner and spread it on the bed. He packed all the quilts and pillows for the four people tightly, wrapped them in sheets, and rolled them into a giant package.

Li Huilan exclaimed: "Tao Nanfeng, what are you doing? How can you carry so many things on your back? Just bring the important things and leave us alone."

Ye Qin also tried his best to stop him: "Tao Nanfeng, please leave me alone. I don't want the pillow. Just take your own things."

Tao Nanfeng shook his head, carried the large parcel behind his back with one hand, picked up his dark red rattan box with the other hand, and walked out first.

There were strong winds and heavy rain.

A month has passed, and the tooth marks on the back of the hand have long since dissipated, but the hot power is still flowing throughout the body.

Tao Nanfeng felt that she was full of energy. The bedroll half a person's height was carried lightly on her body, and no matter how strong the wind or rain was, it had no effect on her.

The only unpleasant thing comes from the feet. The mud is slippery, and every time you step on it, there will be a pit, and the mud will stick to the soles of your feet, making them slippery.

Seeing that Tao Nanfeng had gone out first, Xiao Aiyun quickly put on her raincoat and rushed out.

"Tao——" She opened her mouth, and the wind blew in with raindrops. It was cold and fishy, ​​and she almost vomited due to choking.

Xiao Aiyun spat out a few spits, rushed to Tao Nanfeng, and shouted loudly: "Let's go together!"

Tao Nanfeng heard this, nodded, and the two of them walked forward together.

More and more people gathered together and headed north with flashlights to illuminate the back. The dirt road was muddy and it was pouring rain overhead, but people were united and encouraged each other, walking forward with one foot in the mud and one foot in the water.

Finally arriving at the field office, this group of people crowded into the corridor on the first floor and made a lot of noise. Soon, the employees living in the dormitory on the second floor opened the door in dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing? If you don't hide in the house when it rains, what are you doing here?"

Xiang Bei wiped the rain off his face, stood in the middle of the floor, raised his flashlight and shined it.

The speaker quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes: "What the hell! Who is messing with me?"

Xiang Bei saw the person coming clearly and said loudly: "Huang Xingwu, open the office door."

Qiao Yadong added at the side: "Chief Huang, the wind and rain outside are so strong that the thatched houses in the educated youth point can't bear it at all. Let us rest here for a night first."

Huang Xingwu yawned and muttered: "Why can't you handle it? If it leaks, just use a basin to catch it. Let's wait until the rain stops tomorrow before repairing it."

Xiang Bei sprayed angry flames from his eyes, took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to the second floor, grabbed Zhou Xingwu's neck, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a sound from between his teeth.

"What a good thing your infrastructure department has done! If someone loses his life, let me see how you can compensate for it! There are twenty educated youths here, all of them are top students from big cities. If there is one missing, I can't afford to pay for your skin!"

Huang Xingwu was startled by his tone, and his eyes wandered: "No, it won't be? Although the wind and rain will be strong tonight, it will not blow down the house."

Xiang Bei raised his hand and shined the flashlight on his face. The yellow light reflected on his face, and Huang Xingwu's triangular eyes looked sinister.

"Educated Youth Point No. 6 is facing the wind, do you know?"

As the head of the infrastructure section, Huang Xingwu knew the quality of thatched houses best. He felt a little panicked and glanced at the closed door in the corridor: "But...but the key to the office is with Director Luo, and he can't wake up even if he falls asleep.

"

Xiang Bei released the hand holding his neck and raised his chin. Huang Xingwu awkwardly moved his shoulders and neck, walked to the door of 210, and knocked lightly a few times.

He strode northward and slammed the door: "In case of emergency, open the door!"

There was no movement at all in the house.

I tried shooting again, but there was no response.

Huang Xingwu smiled softly: "I told you, Director Luo..."

Xiang Bei didn't hesitate for a moment and walked away.

Seeing him leave, Huang Xingwu breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand, pretending to be concerned: "Captain Xiang, why don't we let them sit on the stairs for a night first."

Xiang Bei didn't reply and went straight downstairs.

The educated youths all gathered around. The one wearing a raincoat had half of his trousers wet, and the one holding an umbrella had long since lost track of where his umbrella had flown, and his whole body was drenched.

Everyone was wet and cold, and when the cold wind blew, goosebumps appeared all over the body, and it was so cold.

As soon as he saw Xiang Bei coming down, Qiao Yadong asked anxiously: "How's it going? Is there a room where we can stay for a while? We all need to change into clean clothes, otherwise we may get sick if the cold air enters our bodies."

Xiang Bei looked calmly and nodded.

The most difficult time was when Xiang Bei stood up and led everyone to escape from that thatched house that was swaying in the wind and rain. Now this group of educated youths are very convinced by Xiang Bei, and when they see him nodding, they feel at ease.

Walk north to an office, take a look at the lock on the door, take out a folding saber from your waist, and press it against the lock with a little force.

Click!

The lock is removed.

Kick open the door to the north.

This series of actions shocked everyone.

Picking the lock to break into the house? This...

Before everyone could react, Xiang Bei pried open the two offices again: "You guys put the tables together and make do with it for the night. We'll talk about it when it gets bright tomorrow."

The educated youths collectively responded, dragged their things into the house, and began to clear the table.

Huang Xingwu followed down, but seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly stopped him: "Are you going to rebel? How dare you pick the lock!"

A few grumpy educated youths threw their luggage on the ground and started shouting loudly.

"What is rebellion? Are the thatched houses built by your infrastructure department for people to live in? Even the roof is gone when it rains!"

"If Captain Xiang hadn't brought us out, I don't know what would have happened."

"That's right! Our quilts and luggage are still soaking in the rain in the house, and now we don't even have a place to stay. Is this how the farm treats the educated youth who go to the countryside?"

"We have already expressed our opinions, but you didn't listen at all!"

Wei Min, who was moving things, picked up the nylon bag in his hand, raised his hand and deliberately shook it, sweeping it across Zhou Wu's waist.

Huang Xingwu was short in stature and was hit by the bag. He stumbled and almost fell down. He yelled: "Which bastard dares to hit me!"

Xiangbei picked up the collar of Huang Xingwu's neck and dragged it in front of him, saying in a cold voice: "I picked the lock, how about it?"

Xiang Bei's eyes were electric, and his words were full of provocation. Huang Xingwu, who felt guilty, shrank his neck and forced a smile: "Xiang... Captain Xiang, why are you angry?"

After finally breaking free from Xiangbei, Huang Xingwu glanced at the glaring educated youth, then went upstairs to his room angrily, without interfering with everyone's actions.

Tao Nanfeng walked into an office.

Bang! When the light cord was pulled, the incandescent light bulb in the office lit up.

This is a slightly messy office, but the brick walls are thick, the glass windows are closed, and the blue-grey cement floor is hard and dry. It is a hundred times stronger than thatched houses in educated youth spots.

There was no time to sigh, so the four girls worked together to make one big bed out of eight desks. Tao Nanfeng unwrapped the plastic sheet, shook off the rainwater, and rolled up the quilt.

Tao Nanfeng's beige plaid quilt cover, Xiao Aiyun's water-red pillow cover, Ye Qin's buckwheat pillow, Li Huilan's green silk quilt...

Seeing the familiar bedding, there was a burst of cheers in the room.

Ye Qin picked up his dry pillow and beamed with joy: "Tao Nanfeng, you are really my reborn parent. This pillow is my favorite!"

"Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't get the quilt and pillow wet." Li Huilan interrupted her, complaining on her lips, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Xiao Aiyun took out a handkerchief and wiped the rain off her face, and rolled her eyes at Ye Qin angrily: "You are so uneducated, you can't even say a word of thanks. What do you mean by being a reborn parent? Tsk!"

Ye Qin returned Xiao Aiyun's eyes and said to Tao Nanfeng with a smile: "I really want to thank you. From now on, I will give you delicious food first, and I will take you with me if I have fun."

Xiao Aiyun and Li Huilan said in unison: "Yes! We will do the same in the future."

This night was extremely thrilling, and the image of Tao Nan helping everyone carry the bed rolls with the strength of the wind was deeply engraved in the girl's mind——

She is so strong! She has such a kind heart!

Gratitude, admiration, love, closeness... all kinds of emotions were intertwined. Everyone hugged Tao Nanfeng and praised loudly: "Tao Nanfeng, you are awesome!"

Tao Nanfeng was choked and his face was slightly red: "No, it's nothing." After his mother's death, no one had ever praised him so hard.
To be continued...
