Volume 2, Chapter 33: Up the Mountain Again

There were a group of children sitting in the host's couch, huddled inside under two quilts.

Wulang sat inside and shouted to the outside of the car: "Father, mother, sister, you come up and sit down, I'll go down and walk."

Qian said sourly: "Little one, my words are getting smoother and smoother. I'm just thinking about your family! They are young and strong, why should they get in the car!"

Wulang heard this, was silent for a moment, and then shouted: "Master, grandma, come up!"

Mr. Qian snorted coldly and ignored him.

Ling Yue chuckled, tightened her grip on Qian's arm, and breathed into her bitter bark-like hands.

Dong Youtian and Dong Youliang, who were pulling the cart, also laughed.

Sun, who was helping push the cart from behind, said with a pout, "This kid doesn't follow anyone, he's really good at flattering us. We pull the cart and push the cart, but he takes all the good guys for granted."

Everyone around me showed kind smiles. After this difficult journey of life and death, everyone's mentality became peaceful. Unknowingly, everyone felt more confident and at peace.

Everyone had put on all the clothes they could wear, but they were all soaked. Their feet were numb from the cold, soaked and swollen, and their hands were too cold to use.

Mr. Dong was carrying a basket, a bamboo hat and a raincoat on his back. He said to Dongming Ziyu who was helping him walk: "We can't go on like this. We all have to get cold and sick, and we have to find a place to take shelter from the rain."

Dongming Ziyu was helping Dong Youyin pull the trolley, frowning and looking around, thinking of ways.

I have passed through many villages in the past few days, and people who use money to stay overnight are not allowed to enter the village. There are too many of them, and there are so many strong laborers in a population of more than 200. People are afraid that their village will be robbed.

The rain wasn't heavy, just pattering, a little heavier than drizzle. It was the kind of hazy rain in the south of the Yangtze River that is suitable for reciting poems and poems, but at this time everyone found it annoying and boring.

Shangguan Ruoli wore a straw hat and coir raincoat, carrying a basket behind his back, his arms slumped with baggage, his hands inserted into the sleeves of his clothes, he sniffed, moved his stiff legs and heavy feet, and looked blankly into the distance.

She had already taken out some inconspicuous clothes from the space and put them on Ling Yue and Wu Lang. She also put on cotton-padded jackets on them outside, but they could not withstand the cold, clammy and freezing bones.

The cold wind filled with raindrops poured in through the gaps in the raincoat, and the cotton-padded clothes were also wet. The pants were even more soaked, cold and heavy. The shoes were filled with cold water, and the outside was covered with mud, and the big female toes were exposed.

Every time I walk, muddy water sprays out.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said loudly: "Look, is there a mountain ahead?"

Dongming Ziyu looked around after hearing this, and sure enough, he could vaguely see a rolling mountain in the misty rain curtain.

If there are mountains, there are caves. If there are no caves, there are also protruding boulders under which you can shelter from wind and rain.

Many people also saw it and said happily: "It's really a mountain!"

Dongming Ziyu gave an order, "Work harder and go up the mountain to find shelter from the rain."

As soon as everyone heard that there was a place to take shelter from the rain, their already exhausted bodies unleashed their potential again, and their speed suddenly picked up.

Looking up the mountain was like a horse, and the road was muddy and difficult to navigate. It took us a whole day and a night to reach the foot of the mountain.

The rain has become lighter, but the dark clouds in the sky are very thick, and it seems that a heavier rain is brewing.

Seeing a strange-looking house at the foot of the mountain, everyone's tired faces showed happy smiles.

"That should be a temple!"

"Mountain temple, land temple, etc."

"It looks pretty good! It's made of bricks and tiles!"

"Quickly, go inside to take shelter from the rain and drink some hot water!"

Everyone rushed over with hope, but when they got closer, they were stunned and sat slumped on the ground. Some women cried in despair.

Because there were many victims inside, even under the eaves, huddled there to take shelter from the rain. When they saw them coming, they all took up arms on guard.

Everything comes first, and although they are frustrated and frustrated, they have no intention of competing with them for territory.

Dongming Ziyu looked at the winding and narrow mountain road. It should be an official road, where carriages and carts can be used, and said: "Let's go up the mountain."

The mountain road is a stone road, but at least there is not that much mud. Although it is uphill, it saves a lot of effort.

Under the big trees next to the official road, under the protruding stones, and in small stone caves, the victims huddled to take shelter from the rain.

Dongming Ziyu said: "It seems that we have to search deep in the mountains."

Mr. Dong's legs have recovered from synovitis. He is limping on a cane, hunched over his waist, and panting heavily: "The rain has become lighter. Find a place to rest for a while. You are going to die."

!”

In fact, I was already giving up. I just gritted my teeth and held on. As soon as Mr. Dong spoke, they all said that they couldn't do it anymore and couldn't hold on any longer.

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Find a wider place."

Now the mountain road is too narrow to accommodate so many people to rest. We found a relatively gentle hillside and stopped the team to let everyone rest.

Everyone collapsed on the slippery grass, gasping for air and opening their mouths to catch the falling raindrops.

Unable to make a fire, Dongming Ziyu gnawed on raw sweet potatoes and said, "You guys have a rest, I'll go into the mountain to find a cave."

Shuan Zhu on the side said: "Fourth brother, I will go with you."

He was carrying his mother on his back all the way. When he got here, he didn't rest. Instead, he moved a few big rocks, covered them with raincoats and sheets, and built a small nest for his mother to sit in and take shelter from the rain.

In the past, he was very lazy and followed a few gangsters in the village to steal chickens and dogs. Everyone was very disgusted and even disgusted. After this escape, they found that he was very filial and loyal.

Filial piety comes first among all good deeds. People think that a very filial person is not bad at heart, and their views on him have changed.

Shuanzhu Niang waved her hand, "Go, go, be safe. Don't worry about me, I'm with everyone, it's okay."

Several men also volunteered to explore the road with Dongming Ziyu. They were Dalang and Erlang, and the two and a half young men recovered quickly.

Qian took out a piece of dry food from the cloth bag in his arms and secretly stuffed it into Dongming Ziyu, "Eat on the way, be careful, don't get hurt!"

Dongming Ziyu took the dry food and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother."

He led a group of people off the official road and entered the mountain. They spread out within sight of each other and looked for caves.

The people on the hillside regained their breath, saw the method of bolting the pillars, and began to imitate it to build a shelter for their own parents and children.

Dong You Tian, ​​Dong You Grain, and Dong You Yin also used carts, small trees, and cloth to surround two tents, one for a man and one for a woman. Fortunately, the cloths they picked up at the cloth shop before escaping came in handy.

.

Shangguan Ruoli took out the dry clothes from the basket on his back and asked Ling Yue and Wu Lang to put them on. The two little ones were so cold that their faces were blue and blue, and they were extremely pitiful.

Wulang was stripped naked, and he covered his little sparrow in embarrassment, "Mother, mother, put some clothes on me quickly!"

Sister-in-law Li, who was changing Sanya's clothes, smiled and said, "We Wulang know we are shy."

Daya was changing clothes, and Erya was laughing and teasing him, "Shy, shy, shy!"

For a moment the tent was filled with the sound of laughter.

Everyone changed into dry clothes, untied their hair, dried it, ate something, and waited for the cave seekers to come back.

However, at noon, Dongming Ziyu and the others had not returned yet, so everyone became a little bit impatient and looked worriedly at the direction they were going up the mountain.
