Nian Mu put the hiking pole aside and saw that Mu Shaoling's hair was dripping. He opened his backpack and wanted to take out a tissue to wipe it, but because the backpack was not waterproof, the tissue inside had already soaked into paper.
She glanced at it and reluctantly put it back.
It was surprising that no matter how neat and tidy Mu Shaoling was, he became miserable after being exposed to the rain, and so was Nian Mu.
"Mr. Mu, what should we do now?" She asked the man for his opinion.
Mu Shaoling took out his mobile phone. His clothes were soaked, and his mobile phone was also damaged. He frowned, and the mobile phone could not be turned on. "Can your mobile phone still work?"
Nian Mu took out his mobile phone from his backpack. The people on Terror Island had improved the mobile phone so that it could release water.
But after being soaked in the rain for so long, her phone also shut down automatically. She looked helplessly at Mu Shaoling and said, "The phone needs to be dry before it can be turned on."
Neither of their mobile phones worked, so they couldn't notify Dong Zijun, and there was no way to contact the staff at the villa.
"Let's wait and listen to the rain." Mu Shaoling decided that this was all they could do now.
Nian Mu nodded, that was all she could do. Her waist was still aching, and it was too dangerous to go down the mountain in the heavy rain.
The other side.
Dong Zijun and Tina happened to arrive at the top of the mountain just before it started to rain. Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, Dong Zijun looked in another direction, waiting for his boss and Nian Mu to come up.
"Boss, why haven't they come up yet?" Tina was confused. She had studied the map and found that the distance between the two sides was almost the same, and both of them were in good physical condition. How could they be so slow? Could it be that something happened midway and delayed it?
Dong Zijun glanced at the sky and had no time to appreciate the scenery. After a while, it started to rain.
The staff on the side saw that they had no intention of going down the mountain, and stepped forward to remind them: "How long are you going to stay here? It's going to rain, and it won't stop raining for a while. Why don't you take the cable car down the mountain first?"
?”
"But we still have friends behind us, so we want to wait first." Tina said, glancing at the sky. The dark clouds looked very thick, and there might really be a thunderstorm.
As expected, the weather forecast cannot be trusted. She thought that the weather today was not bad, so she asked Nian Mu to climb the mountain.
But now, it's going to rain.
Tina felt very depressed. You must know that thunderstorms in the mountains are different from thunderstorms on the ground. They are very dangerous...
"Assistant Dong, why don't you give the boss a call?" She was a little afraid to play because she proposed the competition herself.
If Mu Shaoling really blamed herself, she didn't want to take advantage of her anger and send her to the top.
Dong Zijun nodded, and as soon as he took out his mobile phone, it started to rain, and a bolt of lightning split from the sky.
"Too bad, the boss and Professor Nian haven't come up yet." Tina became anxious at this time. Watching Dong Zijun call Mu Shaoling, she kept comforting herself. Maybe the boss and Professor Nian Mu were already sheltering from the rain in a pavilion.
.
"The boss didn't answer the phone." Dong Zijun kept calling. When the call was automatically cut off, Mu Shaoling still didn't answer the phone.
"I'll try calling Nian Jiao." Tina took out her mobile phone and dialed Nian Mu's number. It rang for ten times, but no one answered.
"Didn't you answer?" Dong Zijun looked at her with an increasingly serious expression.
Tina listened to the busy signal and shook her head.
The staff at the top of the mountain came over and asked: "Have your friends come up yet? The rain is getting heavier and heavier. If you don't go down the mountain now, it will be difficult to do so later."
"Then what should we do..." Tina ran out of ideas and looked at another passage. She asked: "Our friends took that passage, but neither of them answered the phone now. Can you go and look for it?"
The staff looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces: "Ma'am, it's raining so hard now, it's hard for us to go down and look for someone."
"Yeah, don't worry too much. It probably started raining halfway through the walk. We are taking shelter from the rain now. We have people on duty here 24 hours a day. You go down first. When they come up, we will come back.
Send them down depending on the situation." Another staff member advised.
Dong Zijun was silent for a while and decided: "Let's not go down now. If the rain eases, we can go down this road to try our luck."
When the staff heard this, they thought it was not feasible. Once it starts raining in this kind of weather, they don't know when it will stop.
Moreover, the weather on the mountain is unpredictable. He said: "Maybe your friends have gone down the mountain when they see the weather is not right. How about this? I will leave you a phone number and you go down the mountain first. If you can't see your friends at the bottom of the mountain,
Contact us again and then go look for us when the rain subsides, okay?"
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Dong Zijun thought that Mu Shaoling might have gone down the mountain. Seeing that Tina's hair was messed up by the wind, he agreed to the staff's suggestion and took the cable car down the mountain with Tina.
…
The other side.
Nianmu sat there, feeling a dull pain in his lumbar spine.
She pursed her lips and sat there holding her chin for a while, lying half on her stomach for a while, just trying to find a comfortable sitting position to make her waist more comfortable.
Mu Shaoling noticed her little movements and asked, "Your waist still hurts?"
"A bit..." Nianmu knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he didn't hide it either.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Mu Shaoling glanced at the long stone bench in the pavilion. It was already soaked by the rain. It would definitely be impossible for Nianmu to sit on it. He said, "Lie down."
Nian Mu heard the words and lay down, but the pain in his waist did not relieve because of this, but instead worsened.
She frowned, looking miserable.
Mu Shaoling looked at the big stone round table. Now he didn't care whether it was quality or not. Nian Mu felt uncomfortable. The most important thing was to make her feel better.
"You lie down on the stone table." He said.
Nian Mu raised his head in astonishment and glanced at the huge stone table, which is usually a resting place for tourists. The stone table is used to place objects...
"You will feel more comfortable if you lie down on it." Mu Shaoling knew what she was thinking.
Nian Mu knew that in this situation, whether he was standing or sitting, he would feel uncomfortable, and it would only feel better when he was lying down.
She accepted Mu Shaoling's suggestion, stood up, sat on the stone table, and then slowly lay down.
The stone table was not too small. She lay down and curled up slightly, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Mu Shaoling turned away and stopped looking at her.
Nian Mu felt that it was a bit awkward for the two of them to stand like this. She also looked at the other side. The heavy rain showed no intention of stopping. The rain kept pouring in from outside. She was secretly thankful that the pavilion was big enough.
"Mr. Mu, when do you think it will rain?" She unconsciously asked what was on her mind.
Mu Shaoling looked outside and replied, "Maybe, we'll have to do it next night."
