Chapter 25: heavy rain Before Shanzi could stand up, the bean heavy rain had fallen, causing pain on the human body. The river was like water in a pot, roaring and splashing. Xu Xing'er jumped up, and there was no time to speak. It was also a lightning that cut through the cloud, and the deafening thunder was closely followed, with a huge echo, which almost made people's ears tingle. She could not hear her voice at all. Shanzi decisively dropped the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, grabbed Xu Xing'er, and whether she could hear it or not, shouted: "don't open your mouth, quickly follow me, you have to find a place to shelter from the rain, it's too dangerous." after that, she ran along the river to the East. Xu Xing'er can only vaguely see Shanzi's mouth opening and closing, but can't hear a word. But at the moment, the rain is too heavy, and the rain is pouring in. It makes people speechless. She consciously closed her mouth, one hand was held by Shanzi, and the other hand was constantly erasing the water on her face. In fact, it was just useless. It rained too hard and too fast. It was like someone was carrying water, and a basin was pouring water on her face, and she couldn't open her eyes, let alone see the road. She was completely following Shanzi by instinct, and she was struggling. I don't know how long I ran, and I can't tell the direction completely in the heavy rain. Xu Xing'er just feels that it seems that she's uphill at her feet and it's hard to climb up, but she still grinds to keep up with Shanzi's rhythm. She knows that Shanzi often runs on the mountain and is very familiar with these situations, and should be able to find a shelter from the rain. After all, it's too dangerous to stay in the forest in such a thunderstorm field. It's not sure which tree will lead the thunder. The two ran for a while again. Shanzi pinched Xu Xing'er's hand and turned to shout: "it's here!" Before Xu Xing'er could speak, she was dragged into an unknown place by Shanzi. The pressure on her whole body was suddenly relieved. She wiped her face again and looked closely. At this time, she was already in the cave. The cave is very fresh and clean, and there are some hay in the corner. There are traces of fire near the entrance of the cave, and there are some dry firewood beside. Some powder was sprinkled on the ground around the entrance of the cave. It is estimated that it was only a few days ago. Although it was mixed with the soil on the ground, some traces can be seen. "Shanzi Ge, you are so cunning. Although Xu Xing'er was wet, he didn't feel depressed at all. Instead, he looked at the cave and smiled back to Shanzi. "The climate in the mountain is changing greatly, and the rainstorm is coming. It must have some precautions." Shanzi said that he went to the dry grass side of the cave corner, crouched down and groped for a moment, took out a dry suit, turned to Xu Xing'er and said, "you are weak, please change your wet clothes first, or you will easily get sick." He didn't wait for Xu Xing'er's reaction after saying that, so he ran back to the rain like he was avoiding suspicion, shouting, "you change your clothes first." Xu Xing'er opened his mouth. He wanted to say why you went out and drenched yourself, but when he saw that someone had gone out, he was also embarrassed, so he didn't make a sound. He quickly took off his wet clothes, screwed on his inner clothes, wiped the water on his body, and then put on Shanzi's clothes. Her head is much smaller than Shanzi. She put on his clothes, trousers and sleeves, which are a large length. She could not even pull them up and shout: "Shanzi Ge, you come in quickly, I've changed them." Shanzi came in from the rain curtain outside, and saw her little person, wearing her own clothes, just like a child who steals adult clothes. She couldn't help laughing: "usually it doesn't seem that many people are small. Now it's a comparison. My clothes are on you, just like a costume, and can swing up the sleeves." Xu Xing'er didn't rush to pull up his sleeves when he heard the speech. He lifted his hands slightly and turned outwards, threw out a sleeve flower, and then bowed down and said, "this lady, I'm very polite!" Shanzi chuckles and reaches for a flick on her forehead, "you're the little girl." then she turns around and puts some dry wood on the shelf, takes out the fire fold wrapped in an oilcloth from her arms, and lights a fire to bake her clothes. Xu Xing'er handed him a set of middle garments and trousers and said: "I only wear outerwear and trousers. You can put this on. It's so wet now that it's hard to feel." Shanzi didn't refuse either, smiled at Xu Xing'er, took over the clothes and said: "don't go out to get wet, I'm not afraid you'll see." "Bah!" Xu Xing'er spat at him, but he didn't turn around. He took off his clothes and showed his strong, wheat colored upper body. Shanzi is just a teenager now. He doesn't have any obvious muscles, but he works hard all the year round. Although he looks a little thin, he can see the smooth and beautiful lines of muscles, the wheat colored abdomen, and several flat abdominal muscles fluctuate slightly with his breath Xu Xing'er looks fair and aboveboard. He doesn't feel conscious about watching others change clothes any more. He also sounds like "Tut, it's good." Shanzi was meant to tease Xu Xing'er. Who would have thought that, instead of seeing Xu Xing'er shy, she was flirted by her eyes. He couldn't bear to block his upper body with clothes, and said with a burning cheek: "Xing'er, would you turn around first?" Xu Xing'er deliberately slowed down, looked around him, raised his lips and asked: "you don't say you're not afraid to watch, why don't you continue to take off?" Shanzi said, "grandma, I'm wrong. Let me go of this one." Xu Xing'er was meant to tease him. Of course, he didn't really want to see his plan to change clothes. He raised his eyebrows and showed him a winning smile and turned around in cooperation. Shanzi was afraid that she would turn around again, put on her clothes first, and then quickly change her trousers. She was almost tripped on the ground by her trouser legs. It was not easy to tie the trouser belt before she said: "OK, come back, I'll bake clothes." When Xu Xing'er turned around, he saw Shanzi squatting by the fire with his clothes on. He didn't know whether his face was shy or red. He couldn't help but pucker his lips, but he didn't open his mouth to tease him again. The two men stood by the fire to avoid the rain, and their clothes were almost dry. The rain outside didn't diminish at all. The rain in their ears was all loud, and the clouds were thick outside. They couldn't see the sky at all, and they didn't know what time it was. Xu Xing'er sat on the hay shop, fiddling with a piece of hay in his hand, watching Shanzi staring at the fire without saying a word, and he couldn't help but say, "Shanzi Ge, you talk to me, it's so boring." "Say what?" Shanzi asked her. Xu Xing'er chuckled and thought, "just say what happened to you in the mountains before!" "You didn't ask me last time, what animals are there in the mountains? I said there were blind bears." Shanzi tilted his head and thought about it. "Have you ever met a blind bear?" Xu Xing'er immediately got nervous, sat up straight and stared at Shanzi. Shanzi first noddhis head, then shaking his head, and then shaking his head, and continued: "it's not really a encounter, in fact, it's not a encounter, in the autumn of the previous autumn I went up the mountain and met several acoacoacotree in the autumn of the previous autumn last year, I came up the mountain in the previous autumn, and I met several acoacoacotree trees. Although it's not delicious, and generally there is no one in the family as long as there is grain at home, but it's able to feed pigs. I ran for half a day that day and had no harvest, and I was too lazy to run again, I collected a lot of acoacoaco, the back basket is filled with a lot of left, there is still a lot of left left in the back basket, I packed a large bag with clothes and I used a big bag to carry it, it's all only a small, spread some leaves, pile the rest of the acorns in, and cover them with leaves. I plan to take them again the second day." "And then?" Xu Xing'er listens. She has also picked up acorns before. As Shanzi said, pigs like to eat that, and will also bite their shells. Every autumn, many pig households let their children go up the mountain to pick up acorns, and the ones they picked up will be put in their own yard to dry. She has always been a competitive character. Other people's families are all brothers and sisters who go up the mountain. She is the only one who refuses to accept defeat. She goes early and returns late every time. She would like to have more hands than others. I remember that autumn, the more acorns in her courtyard, the more they covered the ground. She walked in and out with her head high and felt like a princess on a red carpet. Shanzi mentions the acorn to remind Xu Xing'er of his childhood life, and he can't help but feel a bit sad and urge him to talk quickly. "Later on the second day, I ran back to get the acorn, and found that the trunk did not know what had caught several impressions, the pit was also torn open, and the ground was full of broken acorn shells." now speaking of this matter, Shanzi seems to have some lingering fear, and raised his hand to draw: "such a large claw Zi Yin, there are still footprints on the ground, which scared me a lot at that time, and turned around to run back, for fear that the blind bear was still nearby, and later I would never dare to go to the forest there..." The two people here had a good chat, but they didn't know that Xu Xing'er's family was in a hurry. Ye Shi didn't worry about Xu Xing'er going up the mountain at first. After all, the children in the village are all growing up on the mountain, but they can't help but worry about the thunder and the heavy rain. I thought that the thunderstorm in summer would pass in a moment, but I didn't expect that it would never stop. Her heart was pulled up, looking anxiously at the sky outside, and she said to Xu Laosan, "what time is it? It's still such a heavy rain. Is Xing'er still on the mountain? Can you get lost? Is there any danger? " Xu Laosan was also worried, but looking at Ye Shi's red eyes, he didn't dare to stimulate her any more. He could only say calmly: "Shanzi is a stable kid, and he is familiar with the situation in the mountain. They must have found a place to hide from the rain for a long time. Don't worry about it. Look, it scares Ta'er." Ye Shi turned around and patted Ta'er, but he didn't feel relieved. He listened to the rain outside all the time, and turned to watch the door from time to time, hoping that Xu Xing'er would come in from the door next moment, laughing and talking to himself
