Chapter 470 Accidental Discovery
Found something?
The man's voice was obviously filled with uncontrollable excitement and surprise. What they discovered must be something rare and interesting in the city!
Li Yue patted my arm and asked me with interest, "Someone found something over there. What do you think it could be?"
I'm actually not very interested in this matter, but since Li Yue asked me about it, I couldn't deal with her. I could only say, "I guess it's some game like pheasant or hare!"
This is a mountain village, and these game meats can be said to be the local specialties here.
I have a cousin who lives in the countryside. The last time my family and I went to his house, I was very happy when he brought out a plate of stewed pheasant and braised hare to entertain us.
"Let's go over there and take a look!" Li Yue took my hand and started to go to the place with the most people there.
I broke free from Li Yue's hand and said, "Go and see for yourself. I prefer to be alone."
But Li Yue refused to let me go and insisted on holding my hand. "Oh, what's the fun in being alone? You are already depressed, and this will only make you more unhappy. Let's go, follow me."
I'll go over and take a look."
There was no other way. Li Yue insisted on asking me to go over and have a look. I had no choice but to go with her.
In a small forest in front of the village, almost all the students who came here to play gathered there. They were gathered together, and some of them were holding strange-looking things in their hands.
"What did you find?" After walking into the woods, Li Yue took the initiative to ask a boy.
That boy is the monitor of our class named Wang Tianyi, and he is a top student.
However, although he is a top student, he is quite good to others. If someone asks him for advice or something, Wang Tianyi can patiently explain to them. In the process, he will never show any impatience.
Wang Tianyi held something like a mask in his hand.
"It's this thing..." Wang Tian shook the mask in his hand. "Someone was playing in the woods just now, and he happened to see a mask emerging from the soil underground. Out of curiosity, he picked up the mask. Soon
He discovered another thing, that is, there was not just one mask buried in the ground, but many other masks. You see, everyone is holding them."
An Keke and I looked to the side, and sure enough, many people were holding the same masks as Wang Tianyi's.
This kind of mask is made of metal and looks quite strange, but why are they buried underground.
People around looked at the masks in their hands curiously. Some people even wiped them clean and put them on their faces, and took out their mobile phones to take selfies.
"Here you go." Li Yue rushed into the crowd, took back two masks, and handed one to me.
"Do you think it looks good?" Li Yue was crazy alone. She also put the mask on her face and asked me excitedly.
"It looks good." I said with a smile.
When I held this mask in my hand, the metal mask felt cool to the touch.
"Put it on and take a look, and I'll take some photos for you." Li Yue urged me.
Holding the metal mask, I wanted to put it on my face, but after I picked it up, there seemed to be a mysterious force blocking me from putting the mask on my face.
Looking at Li Yue's expectant eyes, I firmed up and shook my head, "No, I think this mask doesn't look good and doesn't suit my face shape. Just wear it and I won't join in the fun."
Li Yue curled her lips and said, "It's not good at all."
Regarding Li Yue's complaints, I could only smile awkwardly.
There are some things that I really don't know how to tell you.
Many people joined in the mask digging operation, and soon a large number of masks were dug out, with almost everyone holding a mask in their hand.
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of discovering the mask, the sky unexpectedly thundered.
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
Huge thunder resounded in the sky, startling many people.
It looks like it's going to rain soon.
I frowned. It takes a long way from here to Lushan Village at the foot of the mountain. If it rains now, how will we go down the mountain?
I was not willing to stay in this mountain village anymore, but thinking about this possibility made me even more worried.
As the saying goes, the world is like this. Whatever you worry about will happen. Just when we were talking about the weather in the mountains, a heavy rain came as expected.
Drops of rain fell like broken pearls.
Everyone became panicked.
Li Jie called everyone together at this time and said loudly, "Don't panic, everyone. It's raining heavily now. We definitely can't go down the mountain at this time. Let's go to the houses in this mountain village to take shelter until the rain stops."
Let’s go back down the mountain.”
Although it is very rude to enter other people's houses without their permission, it is treated as a special event.
The heavy rain has already started, and no one wants to continue to be soaked outside. As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, everyone immediately dispersed and hid in the house.
The weather in the mountains is really strange. When I heard the weather forecast yesterday, it was clearly stated that there would be no rain, so no one brought any rain gear. We did not expect that the weather was not kind and it started to rain heavily just after we arrived here.
Li Yue and I were naturally hiding in a room. Looking at the smoke-like heavy rain floating outside, I felt a little worried. Looking at it now, the heavy rain would not stop for a while.
.
Another thing that surprised me was the people in this mountain village?
When we arrived here at first, we didn’t see anyone. It would be fair to say that all the people in the village had gone out to do farm work.
But now the heavy rain has started, and those working in the fields are not fools. They will definitely put away their things at this time, but it has been raining for a while, but so far, I still have no one.
See, where have those people gone?
I told Li Yue what I was thinking, and Li Yue frowned, "Maybe they have already started to come back, but they are still on the way."
What Li Yue said can make sense, but I still feel that things are not that simple.
The villagers did not come back, maybe not because they were on the road, but because they could not come back, or even they did not exist at all!
Because it started to rain, the sky became dark.
Thinking of this possibility, I felt a chill in my body and shook my head violently, not daring to think about it any more.
Maybe things are not so bad after all!
I thought that the rain would slowly stop after a while, but to everyone's surprise, the sudden heavy rain continued for a long time, and it did not stop for five or six hours.
It will get dark soon, and it is raining heavily. It seems that we may not be able to go down the mountain today and will have to stay here for one night.
Sure enough, Li Jie came over and told everyone about the incident.
Everyone's reaction was quite mild, and they didn't complain too much. They just felt it was a pity and a little depressed.
I originally came here to relax and play, but after all the hard work, it started to rain before I even had a good time on the mountain!
Staying in the house, everyone gathered together in twos and threes and chatted all over the place. Everyone had a lot of snacks in their backpacks.
It was quite pleasant to eat while watching the rain outside.
The rain didn't stop until the evening, so we had no choice but to stay here for the night.
There are still many houses in the mountain village. After deciding to stay overnight, Li Jie divided the fifty-five people into different houses according to gender and the size of the house.
However, it has been raining for such a long time, and the original villagers in the mountain village still haven't appeared, and my worry has deepened.
When I went to bed at night, because I had the habit of recognizing my bed and I was always thinking about the village, I didn't fall asleep until very late.
"Wow..."
I don't know how long I slept during the night, but I woke up.
Chapter completed!
