"Mom, do you think my father will believe what my mother said?" Lele's little face was full of worry, "What if my father believes it but Khan doesn't believe it?"
The expression on Arnold's face also became a little cautious following Lele's question. The problems she knew should be unknown to anyone in this era. What's more, people in this era are usually more superstitious. If the reason is explained in this way, it will definitely
It will feel very strange, and it will arouse the curiosity of others. Why can she know things that others don't know? Is there any secret hidden in her?
Lele saw that her mother stopped talking, her expression changed, and her face became sad.
Arnold thought for a while. Since he couldn't tell the truth, let's make up a story!
At this moment, Hu Gechi came back, opened the door and entered the car. He was a little wet, and the watermarks on his clothes were clearly visible.
"What's wrong?" There was worry on his face. He looked at both mother and daughter first, and then relaxed a little. "Are you scared because of the loud thunder? If you are scared, I will stay with you.
.”
"It's raining so hard, why don't you stop and rest!" Arnold asked tentatively.
"If we continue to encounter assassins, I'm afraid there will be more troubles if we stay. So, even if the rain is heavier, we can still move forward slowly."
"Abba, if you don't stop, will you be struck by lightning?" Lele interjected, her little face full of worry.
Hu Gechi took her from Arnold's arms to his lap, "Although I have heard that thunder and lightning can knock down big trees, it probably won't hit the convoy by chance!"
"But Mom said, if you keep walking and don't find a low-lying place to stop and rest, it will really fall down!" Lele said cautiously, looking at Hu Gechi with a serious face.
Hu Gechi looked at Arnold, "Why do you say that?"
Arnold sighed, "That year when I returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, I encountered a village on fire. I asked curiously and found out that the village was hit by lightning, and the fire burned several families. Later, in the village,
An old man said that as long as it is in a flat place, the higher something is, the easier it is to be struck by lightning."
"What do you mean..." Brother Hu raised his eyebrows, and the look in his eyes turned serious.
"We are on the grassland now. The grassland is flat and there are not many trees around. If lightning strikes, it will definitely hit the soldiers holding the flags first. For the sake of safety, let's find a lower place first.
Stop and rest!" Arnold asked tentatively, waiting for Hu Gechi to answer her after considering the results.
"boom"
There was a loud noise, and Lele trembled in fright and started crying.
Arnold ignored the rainwater pouring into the car and opened the window to take a look. A big tree in the distance was struck by lightning. The fierce fire could be seen at a glance in this dim weather.
Brother Hu's face showed solemnity, and he patted his daughter's back gently, "Lele, don't be afraid, daddy will come as soon as he goes." After saying that, he handed Lele to Arnold again, turned over and got out of the car.
Perhaps it was because the lightning strike was too coincidental, or perhaps the sound attracted the attention of the convoy, and more people were a little scared.
The motorcade slowly stopped, and after a while it started to move forward again, but changed its direction and seemed to be heading somewhere.
Arnold was truly relieved when he saw this situation. He looked at the heavy rain and the thick dark clouds outside the car in silence, praying that the rain would stop soon.
