"We can't walk." Ji Qingbai held her back, "It's very dangerous to walk in the woods during thunderstorms."
After Luo Yan came back to her senses, she let out a breath of fear.
The thunder just now was so loud that she was almost deafened.
"But will the monster inside come out?"
"Probably not... I have never heard of any monsters in this cave, and it is even less likely that there are jackals, tigers and leopards these days, because it has served as a refuge for people before, and everyone in the town regards this cave as a sacred place."
Ji Qingbai tried his best to comfort her and not let her get scared.
Luo Yan sniffed and said, "Okay, let's wait until the rain stops before leaving."
"Are you not afraid anymore?"
"I believe you. If you say there shouldn't be, then there shouldn't be."
While waiting for the rain, a few people looked for the local cow out of boredom.
It had been raining outside for a long time, and they were a little tired from playing, so the three of them fell asleep leaning against the stone wall.
Luo Yan was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
In the hazy sight, Qi Si was wearing a black assault jacket, with cold eyebrows, and a flashlight in his knuckled hand. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes when he saw them.
He looked at the watch on his wrist, it was half past four.
These three people actually made it this far, and it turned out that the sound they just heard in the cave was not an illusion.
There was only a little bit of rain outside. The rain had stopped, but the sky was still dark. I didn't know when it would start raining again.
Luo Yan was a little confused. So this was the "monster" in the cave?
Seeing that she was stunned, Qi Si moved his thin lips and asked, "Are you still not leaving?"
"Oh," she stood up quickly and patted the two people beside her, "Qing Bailu An went home and the rain stopped."
The two of them were also a little surprised when they saw Qi Si.
"Brother Qi Si? Why are you here?"
"Practice."
"Oh, what about the rest of your class?"
"Leave through the exit."
There is an exit deep in the cave. He lost his pen and searched for it all the way back. Only then did he meet the three people sleeping at the entrance of the cave.
It was difficult to walk on the mountain road after it had rained. The ground was loose and slippery, and the bushes on the roadside were full of water. As soon as I walked through it, it splashed down, and soon I was wet all over.
"Luo Yan, the road is slippery downhill, be careful." Ji Qingbai warned.
"good."
Qi Si led the way. He had long legs and even though his steps were not fast, he could keep up with Luo Yan two steps at a time. After a while, she fell behind.
She rarely walked on mountain roads, which were even more difficult to walk when it rained. After she distanced herself from others, she was too embarrassed to ask others to wait for her, so she had to trot behind to catch up.
If you leave too hastily, tragedy will happen.
The grass after rain was very slippery. I accidentally stepped on the grass beside the road. The sole of my shoe slipped and I fell forward. Because it was downhill, I slid a long way on the ground.
Several people who heard the screams turned around and saw the person lying on the ground and the long skid marks behind her——
This fall was not a light one.
"Are you okay?" Ji Qingbai quickly helped Luo Yan up.
The clothes in front of her were already muddy, and the palms of her hands were also covered in thick mud. When she fell, her palms pressed against a sharp stone, which was very painful at the moment.
Luo Yan spoke softly, resisting the mist that was about to come out of her eyes, "It doesn't hurt."
Lu An frowned slightly, "Can I leave?"
"able."
She lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to look at the person in front of her.
Qi Si must have thought she was clumsy.
I tried to take a step, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in my knee, and I almost fell down.
Ji Qingbai stabilized the staggering person, "Did you knock your knee?"
"No..." Luo Yan rubbed his knees, "It seems that the joints are dislocated. It hurts when I move."
"ah?"
"Looks like I need to trouble you to help me down the mountain."
Qi Si stepped forward, handed the backpack to Lu An, bent over and squatted in front of her, "Come up."
The little girl was a little startled, "But I'm very dirty..."
It's all mud.
"It's going to rain again later, and we don't have time to wait for you."
She pursed her lips and lay down.
Qi Si walked very steadily. She put her arms around his shoulders, feeling nervous and a little happy. He was very tall. Luo Yan, who was being carried for the first time, found the height of the ground strange.
It turns out that his usual perspective is so wide.
He has a very good smell, a refreshing light fragrance, like soap locust and strong tea.
She had always known that he was good-looking, but he was taciturn and had a youthful coolness, which made him feel too alienated. She usually did not dare to stare at him.
Now hiding behind the man, Luo Yan looked at him quietly.
Qi Si's profile is clear, and his eyebrows, eyes, and bones are completely inherited from Aunt Lu's. He has an appearance that can make people stunning at first sight. But I don't know why Aunt Lu is so gentle, but his brows are always cold.
I wonder what his father looks like, Luo Yan thought slowly.
"Am I heavy?"
Qi Si: "Not heavy."
She is thin and small and weighs nothing at all.
five minutes later.
"Do you want to take a break?"
"Need not."
"You have come a long way, why don't you rest in front..."
"Be quiet."
She shut up and said, "Okay."
People tend to feel sleepy on rainy days, so she lay on the warm back, her eyelids gradually becoming heavy.
Qi Si heard her yawn lightly. A few minutes later, her shoulder rested on a small head, and the person on her back breathed lightly.
When Aunt Lu saw the dirty Luo Yan, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Why are you like this?"
"I fell down."
"Having Ah Si carry you back here will hurt you seriously, isn't it?"
"Aunt Lu." The little girl was sitting on the stone bench, her voice was soft and a little aggrieved, "The joint in the knee seems to be misaligned, it hurts a little."
"Ah? Let me show you."
Qi Lu rolled up her trousers and pointed to a slight dent in her knee, "It's indeed misplaced. It's all dented here. Just bear with it and I'll help you pick it back up."
Luo Yan nodded, closing her eyes tightly and not daring to look.
Qi Lu held her knee with one hand and her calf with the other. She first gently turned it twice clockwise. When Luo Yan wasn't paying attention, she held her calf with her right hand and stretched it backwards. After a slight click, the joint returned
Positioned.
Lu An and Ji Qingbai looked on with dumbfounded eyes.
In the evening, everyone had lotus root and pork ribs soup as they wished.
Lu An gnawed on the ribs in the bowl and praised repeatedly, "Aunt Lu, your cooking is so good that you can open a restaurant."
"If you like, you can always have dinner with Luo Yan. I'll cook whatever you want."
"Thank you Aunt Lu!"
There was the last piece of pork ribs left in the pot. Lu An stretched out his hand, but someone grabbed him before his chopsticks even touched the pot.
Luo Yan put the ribs into the Qi Si bowl, "You carried me so far today and I even stained your clothes. Thank you."
Qi Si looked at her overtures and did not refuse.
Qi Lu watched from the side, unable to stop smiling.
Lu An had no choice but to drink soup, "By the way, I have to herd cattle tomorrow and can't play with you anymore."
Luo Yan raised his hand: "I want to go herding cattle with you!"
"It feels very fun. I want to go. Qingbai, will you go?"
Ji Qingbai: "Okay, then you and I will accompany him to herd cattle."
