stand back, let me come

Chapter 13 013: Rainy Night

It was pouring rain outside, and the sky and the earth were almost in a line, accompanied by lightning and thunder from time to time.

Not long after Qi Shan fell asleep, he was woken up by the loud knock on the door.Opened his eyes, got up, tidied up his clothes, and was about to put on his clogs to open the door, when Shen Tang opened the door ahead of him.

The person who came was wearing a hat and hat, and looked anxious—

It is the village leader of Qianjia Village.

Shen Tang turned sideways and invited people into the room.

"It's raining heavily outside, the old man came first to speak."

Muramasa waved his hand and declined: "No, no, no."

Qi Shan stepped forward and said, "Old man Guan looks anxious, but something happened?"

"Did the two gentlemen see Ayan?" It was raining outside the house, and the village's face was wet with the rain, dripping down, he couldn't care to wipe it with his hands, and his voice was a little trembling, " That child... just disappeared without seeing it!"

Shen Tang asked doubtfully, "Who is Ayan?"

"It's the child who played with Xiao Langjun before."

As soon as he said that, Shen Tang knew who it was.

It turned out to be the child who looked stupidly stupid,

His name is "Ayan".

Shen Tang glanced at the situation outside the house and shook his head: "We have been in the house and haven't seen him. When did he disappear?"

Muramasa: "Just now, at most a quarter of an hour."

Hearing this, Shen Tang's expression sank visibly.

A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes.

The rain outside the house was unstoppable even by the cloaks and hats, the wind was howling, the rain poured, and the howls of wild beasts could be vaguely heard from the mountains, which was intimidating.If a child goes missing in this kind of weather, is it not being carried away by the wolves, tigers and leopards that came into the village?

This is what Muramasa worried about the most.

He said, "It's fine if you are naughty and go out to play, but I'm afraid that I'll be carried away by the big worm going down the mountain..."

In the past few years, the harvest has been poor, the taxes are heavy, and wars have been fought everywhere. The life of the villagers is not good, and so are the wild animals in the mountains, who often go down the mountain to forage.It's okay to just take the livestock that the villagers kept in captivity, but I'm afraid that the child will be taken away.

Similar tragedies have occurred three times in the past two years.

Qi Shan took off the bamboo hat hanging on the wall and put it on his head, tied the rope, and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will help you find it, and the child will always be found. If you think about it, maybe the child was killed by Zhuangzi. I don't know if the next person will take it back..."

Muramasa sighed.

He also hoped that everything, as Qi Shan said, was just a false alarm, that the child was not missing or taken away by the worm, but was taken back, but he knew that the possibility was very slim.Ayan was not taken seriously, and the quality of life in Zhuangzi was just starvation.

Half a month ago, he stayed in the village for four or five years before being picked up—this was the result of a chance encounter with one of the old ladies in Qianjia Village and a deliberate reminder.With the weather so bad tonight, don't expect them to pick up people in the rain.

Shen Tang said, "I'll help find it too."

Qi Shan glanced at it and said, "Forget it, don't look at the weather outside? In case no one finds you and loses you."

The village is grateful for the help of Qishan, and he disapproves of Shen Tang's going out - this little Langjun is still childish, at the age of eleven or two, he is still thin, and he looks only five or six years older than Ayan.

"These worries are superfluous. How could I lose them? It's better than letting the villagers go to the dark to find someone." A knife, if you are unlucky enough to run into a big worm, you can hold on to it.

"Ayan!"

The rain made the land muddy.

Although Shen Tang has good eyesight, he still steps on puddles from time to time, and the mud splashes when he walks, making the hem of his clothes dirty.In a quarter of an hour, she searched the fields near Qianjia Village and couldn't find A Yan's shadow, and the other villagers also did not gain anything.

The more time passed, the less confident people became.

Qishan asked the village Zheng Zhuangzi where he was, and he planned to go to Zhuangzi to ask - although it was unlikely that he would be picked up, but what if?
Shen Tang took the initiative to invite Ying: "I'll go too."

Muramasa sighed, "Then I will trouble the two of you for a trip."

The villagers of Qianjia Village searched in the direction close to the deep mountain. The same was true for the child who had been carried away by the worm. They searched all night and couldn't find it. Finally, they found the intestines, minced meat and bones dragged out at the foot of the mountain and in the grass.

"Yanling is so amazing, why doesn't it have a rain shelter function?"

Even though she was wearing a mink clothes and hats, Shen Tang was still soaked in soup, and the touch of the cold clothes sticking to her skin made her extremely uncomfortable.If the night wind blows into the gap of the hood, it will also cause goosebumps.

Qi Shan said: "Maybe there is."

Who made Yan Ling so much?
Moreover--

"Even if there is, it is not possible to learn all words. If there is such a word in the world, it is better to wear more rain gear."

Shen Tang trotted to keep up with his footsteps, and no matter how heavy his steps would splash sewage, it was already dirty, no matter how he paid attention: "Are there any lighting objects that won't get wet by the rain? Marching in heavy rain, walking Night road, it's also convenient..."

Praying: "..."

Zhuangzi is not far from Qianjia Village.

The two walked down the muddy path, one foot deep and one shallow, until they found it after walking for a quarter of an hour.It was a courtyard surrounded by a low wall, and you could vaguely see the white walls of Daiwa.The courtyard was pitch-dark, with no light. From a distance, it looked like a black shadow of a curled up beast.

Shen Tang stepped forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong-

At this time, a thunder and lightning jumped in the clouds, illuminating half of the sky, followed by a deafening thunder.

She was worried that she wouldn't be able to hear inside, so she changed from knocking with her fingers to knocking on the door with an empty fist, and gradually increased her strength - Bang Bang Bang!

Just when she thought there was no one in the house, she vaguely heard a man answer impatiently: "Who, knocking on the door?"

After a while, the door opened.

The middle-aged man who opened the door was wearing a short brown robe with a scarf tied on his head. He seemed very dissatisfied with someone disturbing his sleep in the middle of the night, and swept over Shen Tang and Qi Shan with an unpleasant expression.Seeing that one of them is tall and the other is short, they are not very old, and their expressions seem to be slightly relaxed, and they are a little more kind.

"Who are you two?"

Shen Tang replied: "We are travelers staying in Qianjia Village. I heard from the villager that the child named Ayan was from your village. He played in the village during the day and didn't go back. He disappeared not long ago. Take it away, looking everywhere."

The middle-aged man listened to Shen Tang's words, and his expression softened a lot: "Oh, A Yan has been brought back, please worry about the two of you."

got it back? ? ?

Shen Tang frowned slightly.

Covered by a hat, the color returned to normal.

At this time, Qi Shan crossed his hands at the man and said with a gentle expression: "The man is fine, so I can rest assured. It's just that it's dark and the road is narrow and the wind and rain are heavy. Can I borrow your house for a while? , allow the two of my brothers to take shelter from the rain here?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment when he heard this.

But he still turned sideways to let Shen Tang and the two come in, and said, "The two of you are also running around in the rain for the sake of the child, just sheltering from the rain, of course. It's just too late now, everyone in the house has already slept, and you can't entertain the two of you. Please forgive me."

Pray for Shan: "It's nature, it's enough to have an eaves to shelter from the rain."

The two followed the middle-aged man into the small courtyard.

There are several trees planted in the courtyard, and hemp ropes for drying clothes are tied between the trunks. Clothes are hung on the hemp ropes - there are seven or eight adults' clothes, and there is also a starched and patched children's clothes.

Shen Tang glanced out of the corner of the eye, and withdrew his gaze without a trace.

　Wow, it was recommended on the splash screen today, and the collection has grown a bit.

　　I don't know if there are any new readers at the moment, hee hee (#^.^#)
