Today happens to be the fourth day of May.
Soon, Ji Yuan felt that the light above his head had weakened, and large rain clouds had arrived.
“Rumble…”
Another burst of violent thunder sounded, and the lightning before the thunder was like a super powerful camera shutter, illuminating the earth that was already dark under the dark clouds.
Woo….Woo…
Outside in the wilderness, the rain has not yet come, the wind is blowing, and the vegetation and dust are swept away. Fortunately, the small stone wall cave where Ji Yuan is located is somewhat special. The stone walls on both sides block too much wind, and with the tilted angle of the top, there is actually a sense of clearness. The wind was blowing a few feet away, but the situation inside the grotto was relatively calm.
“It looks like it’s going to rain heavily!”
Ji Yuan smiled and reached into the baggage. The next second his smile froze.
I grabbed the bag, opened it, looked at it and rummaged through it, and finally found four more fresh dates in the corner, but nothing else.
‘I’ve actually finished eating the dates? ’
After scratching his itchy scalp, Ji Yuan really felt that he might have stayed here for too long. After all, being hungry was a real problem.
“Oh… these dates are hard to come by, and they can also fight hunger. I originally wanted to save some food, but I didn’t expect it. How long has it been…”
Just as he was lamenting, Ji Yuan suddenly moved his ears and heard a sound that was different from the sound of wind.
Ji Yuan looked to the left in the direction of the sound. He could not see clearly clearly, but he also proved that he heard correctly. Someone was indeed approaching.
‘Will someone come to a place like this? It seems to have come from the official road! ’
Not long after, the voice of the visitor was clearly audible, and a total of three people could be seen, driving a carriage and leading two horses, hurriedly towards the direction of the stone wall mound.
“The Crouching Dragon Wall is ahead, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and hide before the rain comes down!”
“Hurry up, Zhuzi and Yulian, get off the car so the car goes faster.”
……
The sound of shouts and whips came from time to time, and it sounded like they were here specifically to take shelter from the rain.
After listening to their words, Ji Yuan once again looked at the pea-shaped rock wall grotto where he was.
“Crouching Dragon Wall? Where does this look like?”
After a while, the group of people driving the carriage finally arrived at the so-called Crouching Dragon Wall.
Of course, the group of people discovered that there was a person with a bag on his head at the other end of the grotto, looking at them. An elder in the group who was probably over fifty years old slightly bowed his hand towards Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan really didn’t want to get up. , I hugged the book and bowed it in return.
The two sides did not speak. Ji Yuan watched them hurriedly drive the carriage close to the cave entrance of the rock wall. Two of the strong men immediately quickly took out a piece of wood with a sharp top from the carriage, and a With a wooden mallet, he began to drive a tethering post on one side.
After working for a while, the carriage and three horses were finally fixed to the grotto. The group also relaxed. People outside and those who got off the carriage came to sit down in the grotto.
There were seven people in total. In addition to the elder who surrendered to Chao Jiyuan, there were two young and strong men. The rest were a woman of the same age, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and two Little boys, the youngest boy is younger than Yin Qing, and the older boy is about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Ji Yuan’s eyes focused on the three horses, and then he looked at the people who had hidden inside the stone wall. He didn’t have any special interest, so he looked at the book again.
“Rumble…”
The thunder sounded again, and after about a dozen breaths, heavy rain fell on the earth. It was obviously getting noisier outside, but there was a feeling that the world suddenly became quiet.
“Oh, I almost missed it. There are no villages or shops on this road, but fortunately it’s not too far from Wolongbi!”
The elder in the team said something in a relaxed tone, and a group of seven people sat there and chatted.
“Uncle Zhong, how long will it take for this rain to stop?”
“Sudden thunderstorms like this are common at this time of year. They come and go quickly. They will stop in an hour at most.”
“Uncle, there is a person lying down over there. He can’t move and sleeps on such a dirty ground. Is he a beggar?”
A little boy pointed at Ji Yuan and said this.
“Children, don’t point fingers at others, they are just travelers taking shelter from the rain!”
The elder surnamed Zhong scolded in a slightly harsh tone.
However, the little boy’s words also caused Ji Yuan to look at his appearance. At any rate, his clothes were intact and his slovenliness was not an exaggeration compared to his previous self… right? How could he not be like a beggar?
“Hehehe…I’m being called a beggar again~!”
Ji Yuan smiled nervously, mainly because he thought of the hesitant self back then, and also thought of a scene where Xingye played Tang Bohu in his previous life. It can be said that “today’s mood is very different!”
Unfortunately, the reality was not as what the elder surnamed Zhong in the group said. The rain gradually weakened after an hour and a half. The heavy rain turned to drizzle and had a tendency to stop. Most of the people in the grotto were in a daze except for their fate. Drowsy.
“Oops, someone came here in the rain!”
At the end of the grotto that had been quiet for a while, the little boy’s voice started shouting again.
“Ouch, you’re still walking so slowly, you must have gotten wet!”
Someone echoed.
Ji Yuan frowned, temporarily put down the book and looked up into the rain. In the hazy moment, an elderly man wearing a round-neck gown and a straight blouse was slowly approaching the stone wall.
Not only could Ji Yuan see this person clearly, but Ji Yuan could not hear the sound of rain falling on him, but as the other person got closer and closer, it was obvious that his clothes were already wet.
Ji Yuan subconsciously looked at the seven people in the opposite corner of the grotto, hoping that it was not a bad situation.
The visitor seemed to be in a good mood. He walked to the edge of the grotto in the rain and was suddenly stunned for a moment. He looked at Ji Yuan intently and seemed to realize that he was there. Ji Yuan had already sat up with a book in hand.
The eyes of the two parties met, and after taking two breaths, the man in the rain smiled, and just stood in the rain and cupped his hands towards Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan, who was feeling a little relieved, returned the favor with a smile.
The man in the rain strolled over, walked into the shelter of the stone wall, and walked to the front of the grotto. He just nodded and smiled at the seven people who were looking at him curiously, and then walked directly to Ji Yuan.
He arrived before anyone arrived.
“Sir, you are so elegant!”
The person’s eyes had already carefully observed Ji Yuan’s whole body. The dust on his clothes and his slightly sloppy hair all showed that Ji Yuan had been lying here for a long time.
Ji Yuan also observed the person coming carefully. He was neither tall nor short, and his posture was upright. His eyebrows were long under the square crown on his head. His eyes were clear but quite full. He did not look like a seventy-year-old or eighty-year-old, but his face seemed to be over sixty. He heard that the other person did not know who he was. Whether it was a compliment or a joke, Ji Yuan responded with a smile.
“Haha… I’m just taking a short break here. Speaking of elegance, it can’t be compared to the freedom of walking in the rain in the pavilion.”
As Ji Yuan spoke, he was still paying attention to the water droplets dripping on the other party’s clothes. He could hear the footsteps and the sound of falling to the ground. The water on the clothes did not seem to be fake.
The person who came was definitely extraordinary, but he couldn’t tell whether he was a god, a demon or an immortal. Ji Yuan was not as relaxed and content as he seemed on the surface.
The leisurely attitude of the visitor was not an act. He walked slowly to Ji Yuan and glanced at the book in his hand, his eyes seemed to widen a little.
“Heretics? It was a miscellaneous book from many years ago! Do you mind if I sit next to you?”
“Sir, please help yourself.”
Even if I mind, this is not the right time to say it.
The old man just sat a foot away from Ji Yuan, looking for books. www.zhaoshuyuan.comｍThe rainwater on his body flowed from the ground where he sat, and also flowed to Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan was It really didn’t matter. Seeing that he had no intention of talking for the moment, he naturally didn’t take the initiative to start a conversation. He picked up the book and pretended to continue reading, while mostly paying attention to others.
One of them was absentmindedly reading a book, the other was looking at the rain outside the grotto, and they were silent for a while.
“Uncle, what are they doing?”
“Shh… don’t talk nonsense! Everyone tidy up, we will leave when the rain stops…”
The elder surnamed Zhong lowered his voice, as if he had noticed something was wrong. As he spoke, he winked and asked the two strong young men to go and pull out the horse stakes.
The older generation often said that evil winds and evil rains can easily hit mandrills and demons. In this wilderness, the one who came does not look like a normal person, and now it seems that the one who was originally there is not normal either.
Yes, in this case, except for the youngest child who became curious, the fastest and strongest feeling among others was actually a sense of fear. The simple wisdom of the country people cannot be said to be completely correct, but it can indeed be avoided. Many people who have never experienced many disasters and evil spirits may find it difficult to imagine this kind of reaction at that time. In Ji Yuan’s previous life, many people would have scolded him for being stupid.
The inside of the grotto became very quiet, and you could only hear the increasingly sparse sound of rain outside. After about a quarter of an hour passed, the rain gradually stopped, and the seven people at the other end of the grotto hurriedly led their horses and carts under the leadership of their elders. left.
Ji Yuan naturally hopes that the seven people will leave quickly at this moment, but seeing them leaving so decisively, Ji Yuan can’t help but sigh in his heart:
The word “fate” is really wonderful. Some people spend their whole lives and never encounter the mystery they are pursuing until their death. Some people bump into it out of nowhere, but are frightened. Maybe the regret will come later. Let it ferment.
