Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 79

After gnawing some dry food on the spot, we continued to walk west, looking for shelter from the rain along the way.

In the afternoon, the wind gradually tightened, the leaves rustled, and one or two drops of rain fell on me from time to time.

"Come on!"

Lao Yan and the others didn't bother to pretend, and hurriedly asked Kumbu to release the pathfinding bug, and immediately followed after the bug determined its direction.

But after a while, the bean-sized raindrops fell, even if there were trees to cover it, it still hurt people.

This is not the most worrying thing, as soon as the rain forest starts to fog up, this makes the already difficult road even more difficult.

"Be careful, don't get lost!" Lao Yan counted the number of people, and then roared, the rain smashed his voice, it sounded a little fuzzy.

The fog is getting thicker and the rain is getting heavier. Lao Yan roars from time to time to make sure that everyone is nearby, but gradually I feel his voice is getting farther and farther away.No, I felt that everyone's voices were getting farther and farther away from me, so I hurriedly shouted: "Old Yan?"

The response came, but it seemed to be in a very distant place.I hurriedly wiped my face, but I saw the fog around me, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I only saw a dark shadow in the front left.

"Kumbu?" I called out, and took two tentative steps forward.

The shadow paused, then turned around, and I stopped immediately.Although he has the same face as Kumbu, his hands don't have gloves, and his expression is not as cold as Kumbu's.

"Are you Tashi?" I asked, but the heavy rain covered my voice, and he obviously didn't hear me.

I took a few steps back slowly, but he walked towards me leisurely, as if the heavy rain hadn't affected him at all.

When I saw his appearance, I immediately pulled out a pistol from my waist: "Stop!"

He stood half a meter in front of me, with a subtle expression on his face: "You really are acting."

I thumped in my heart, it seems that what I just yelled made him suspicious.

I didn't answer the words. I said too many mistakes at this time, so I could only point the gun at him, and then slowly retreated.

"How is Kumbu with you?" Suddenly, he said something that made me feel inexplicable. It seemed that he was really worried about Kumbu.

I sneered: "Didn't you see it all?"

He made the same movement as Kumbu—raised his hand, and I immediately took two steps back, only then did I realize that he is also a master at playing Gu.

"It seems that he's doing well." Tashi nodded and put down his hands: "You don't have to be so on guard, I'm not here this time for you."

I looked at him suspiciously, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain blurred my vision, but I didn't dare to free up my hand to wipe it, for fear that it would shift the muzzle of the gun.

At the same time, I murmured in my heart: Where did Lao Yan and the others go, didn't they find that I lost it?
Tashi and I just confronted each other like this, no matter how heavy the rain seemed to affect him, he glanced at me, and then slowly said: "Tell that old smoker in your team, I'm not interested in following you , but it happens to be on the same road, so you don’t need to guard against me like a thief.”

But the more he behaved like this, the more strange I felt. After all, seeing Kumbu's appearance, he must have a bad relationship with Tashi. Now the latter's obvious good looks make me unsure.

But he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. After saying this, he turned around and left, and was submerged in the slight drizzle after a while.

Only then did I let out a sigh of relief, reached out to wipe my face, and shouted: "Old Yan, where are you all dead?"

Snapped!
As soon as I finished speaking, I was slapped on the back of the head. I was startled, and subconsciously raised my gun.

"Hey, don't shoot." The boy's voice came, and it was only then that I saw the person behind.Lao Yan and the others were staring at me all the time, and it was obviously Lao Yan who made a move on me, because his hand hadn't been put down yet, and he obviously wanted to slap me.

I was confused, so I asked if you were in front?
"We walked for a while, and turned back when we realized that you hadn't followed. We called you all the way, didn't you hear?" Lao Yan glanced at me, and I shook my head hastily.

His face changed, and he asked me what happened to me just now, so that a few people passed me by without noticing.

I hurriedly told about the encounter with Tashi, Lao Yan frowned, and turned to ask Kumbu if there is such a way in southern Xinjiang?
"Yes." Kumbu replied briefly, and then gave an unprecedented explanation: "It's raining heavily, so I ignored it."

Lao Yan waved his hand, apparently not doubting him, but just asked him if what Tashi said was reliable?Is it really possible not to guard against this time bomb?

Kunbu thought hard for a while, then nodded: "I believe it for the time being."

"Let's go first, I'm afraid the rain won't stop." Miss Qiu wiped her face, she looked a bit embarrassed under the rain, but her soaked top was full of temptation.

With the episode of Tashi, Lao Yan was more cautious and followed me firmly, and his first reaction was to protect me when there was a slight disturbance!
If I hadn't talked with Ms. Qiu, I would have thought that he was taking care of the younger generation at most, but now I understand that he is actually fulfilling his promise to Company Commander Chen, and I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional for a while.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the road behind. After traveling in the heavy rain for about half an hour, we found a cave. After Kumbu let the worms go in to find the way to make sure it was safe, we followed in in a hurry.

I slowly wrung out the water on my sleeves and cursed, "I don't know when it will rain."

"I guess there are some." Lao Yan took a look at the sky, and then told us to go to the cave to see if there was any dry firewood to burn. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large, and we are easy to catch cold if we are wrapped in wet clothes.

Fortunately, there were still some branches in the cave, so they piled them up and burned two fires, and they gathered together to bake clothes.

As night fell and the temperature dropped, we wrapped sleeping bags around our bodies and chatted around the fire.Kumbu still didn't participate, and it was already very face-saving to give a favor once in a while, and Yazai didn't know what he was thinking, but he, who was always lively, huddled there sullenly, looking like he was being bullied.

"Little boy, you won't be scared, right?" Miss Qiu was giving us the wine in the jug, letting us drink some to drive away the cold, and when she handed it to the boy, she said something teasing.

Yazai looked up at Miss Qiu, then lowered his head, his eyes were blocked by foggy sunglasses, no one knew what he was thinking.

Ms. Qiu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then she poked at Lao Yan, who shook her head and signaled us to leave it alone.

Afterwards, Yazai lay down on the side and fell asleep, but judging from his appearance, he should not have fallen asleep.I was a little worried, so I deliberately followed Lao Yan while it was convenient for him to go out, and pouted towards the cave: "What's wrong with him?"

"It was raining when he was abandoned." Lao Yan sighed, and after solving his physical problems, he and I stood at the entrance of the cave where we could avoid the rain and chatted.

I opened my mouth wide: "Isn't he an orphan?"

Lao Yan glared at me and said that people can't just jump out of the cracks in the rocks. He also has parents, but they abandoned him because they disliked him. He was only four years old at the time, but he already had memories.

"It was also a heavy rainy day. His parents rode a bicycle and left him in the suburbs. He chased him for a long time but failed to catch up with his parents. He became an orphan like this and almost starved to death. Until he met Lao Xu at the age of seven, he This is considered to have a family." Lao Yan took a puff of cigarette: "These are what Lao Xu said, but I always feel that this kid should be hiding something, I'm afraid no one will want to say it."

I just found it strange, I didn't understand why the parents would dislike the child when he was so good-looking.

Lao Yan pointed to his eyes: "Do you know why Yazai always wears sunglasses?"
