With the afterglow of the setting sun still lingering, several people looked in the direction pointed by Fan Long.
I saw a dilapidated ancient temple looming in the mountains and forests that were rolling like ocean waves in the strong wind.
The ancient temple is not far away from a few people, at least it is much closer than the village where you can only watch the mountain and run to death.
Boom!
Thunder exploded, and the dazzling electric snake flashed away in the dark clouds.
The sky seemed to become darker after the thunder, and the air became colder at this moment.
The mountain forest, which had fallen into darkness, began to sob in the strong wind, as if someone was crying and laughing miserably in this deep mountain forest.
"Yes, that's right over there!"
"The rain is coming so fast, it will probably get dark early."
"When it rains in the mountains, the road will definitely be slippery. If you fall down accidentally, you'll be dead."
"Look at the weather, it will take a while for the rain to come down. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain first, and then go into the village tomorrow to ask about the situation."
Against the strong wind, he almost shouted to everyone as if he was afraid that no one would be able to hear his voice.
Hearing this, Zhang Tong nodded secretly.
Under normal circumstances, it is very dangerous to be in the mountains on a rainy day, not only because of slippery roads, but also because of disease, loss of visibility and heat, all of which are sufficient threats to humans.
It is undoubtedly a very lucky thing to be able to find a shelter and wait for the rain to clear before continuing on the road.
But Zhang Tong did not forget his purpose of coming with them to this deep mountain and old forest.
A fellow traveler slept rough in a mountain temple and never came back!
From the top of the mountain here, you can vaguely see the village surrounded by mountains. With your buttocks, you can tell that the ancient temple is most likely the mountain temple.
But there was no way, Zhang Tong had no choice at this moment.
"The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building..."
After muttering, Zhang Tong echoed loudly: "Brother Long is right. Although it is summer now, it will be really dangerous if we don't find a shelter from the rain as soon as possible."
"Then go quickly, don't waste time."
"It doesn't look far, everyone, please be safe!"
The sudden change in the weather and the reminders from Zhang Tong and Fan Long made the college students in the ivory tower realize the seriousness of the matter, and braved the cold wind and walked towards the mountain temple.
…
Wow!
Heavy rain was pouring down, and Zhang Tong and others were not very lucky. When they were about to approach the mountain temple, the heavy rain came just as it was expected.
Several people were all soaked in the rain, but fortunately when the raindrops poured down, the mountain temple was already close at hand.
"Take care of the girls, the mountain temple will be here soon. Watch your step, don't slip!"
During the heavy rain, Fan Long shouted in a rough voice to remind several people.
"Hurry into the temple, it's too cold in this mountain rain!"
Following Fan Long, several people walked around several big trees in the heavy rain and finally rushed into the mountain temple.
A group of people quickened their pace as they spoke, rushing back and forth into the mountain temple.
"hiss!"
"The rain was so crazy that it almost drenched me to death!"
Feng Yu, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, hugged his shoulders and shivered uncontrollably, looking at Zhang Tong who was fully armed with some envy.
Feeling Feng Yu's gaze, Zhang Tong shook his body, just like twisting clothes, and dripping water kept splashing out.
He smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me with that look. My whole body is wet. Can you believe that my clothes weigh ten pounds now?"
On the other hand, Fan Long, as soon as he entered the mountain temple, turned to Zhuang Jia without any concern and said: "Xiao Zhuang, are your clothes soaked through? Are you cold?"
Zhuang Jia's lips turned a little purple. He nodded when he heard this: "It's cold, especially when your hair is full of water. It's so uncomfortable."
"You wait here for a while, I'll go out and see if I can find some dry firewood, and let's warm ourselves up by the fire."
Fan Long looked at Zhuang Jia's trembling appearance, gritted his teeth, and was about to go out in the rain.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tong quickly stopped Fan Long who was in a hurry and advised him: "Don't go out. It's summer now. I guess the lighter you picked up won't be able to light the firewood."
Hearing this, Fan Long paused and looked at Zhang Tong with a frown: "What should we do? We can't freeze all night, right? It's okay for men, but women can't bear it at all."
Zhang Tong smiled and pointed to the center of the mountain temple.
Boom!
At this moment, thunder pierced the sky again.
Against the background of the thunder, everything in the mountain temple is clearly visible.
The mountain temple is not big, probably only about 40 square meters.
The stone wall is quite stable, although it is a bit shabby, but it can at least protect it from wind and rain.
However, the door at the door has long since disappeared, allowing the cold wind from the mountain to flow in from time to time.
Inside the mountain temple, it is not as dirty as expected. It seems that someone has already tidied up the place.
At the end of the line of sight, there is a statue of a mountain god whose paint has peeled off, with a green face and fangs, which looks eerie and terrifying.
In front of the statue, there is an incense table that looks old at first glance. It is covered with dust. It is not known how long it has been abandoned.
"you mean?"
Fan Long looked at the direction pointed by Zhang Tong, his eyes lit up at first, and then his expression became a little hesitant.
The sacred mountains and old forests, the violent storms, and the disrespect of gods in the mountain temples make people feel a little panicked no matter how they think about it.
Zhang Tong, on the other hand, shrugged, came to the mountain god statue, bowed casually twice, and smiled at the crowd:
"The mountain god is here to protect a living being in the deep mountains. He certainly can't bear to have the rest of us freeze here all night."
"It's okay to leave this incense table. It's better to burn it."
"With this thing igniting a fire, if you go outside to find firewood, you can keep the fire going, right?"
Looking at Zhang Tong's indifferent expression, Fan Long thought about it, and there seemed to be some truth to it.
In addition, the whole body was hit by the mountain rain at this moment, and it was really cold. Fan Long rubbed his big hands and bowed to the mountain god statue:
"Master Mountain God, that's offending. I'm really too cold."
As he said that, he took a few steps forward, lifted the incense case, and threw it to the ground with all his strength. The incense case immediately fell into pieces.
However, the incense table is an incense table after all. Given its size, such a large piece of wood cannot be used as firewood.
Fan Long scratched his head, seeming to be thinking about what to do with the board.
At this moment, Zhang Tong touched his lower back and took out a camping hatchet.
"Damn it, Dahai, why do you bring such a thing?"
Seeing the small ax in Zhang Tong's hand, Feng Yu, who was shivering with cold, couldn't help but exclaimed, causing everyone to look at Zhang Tong subconsciously.
Zhang Tong spread his hands and said helplessly: "I was deceived by the man who claimed to be at the top of the food chain."
