Lanke Chess Edge

Today happens to be the fourth day of May.

Soon, Ji Yuan felt that the light above his head also weakened, and a large rain cloud had already drifted over.

"Boom..."

There was another burst of violent thunder, and before the thunder, the lightning was like a super-powerful camera shutter, illuminating the already somewhat dim earth under the dark clouds.

woo... woo...

In the wilderness outside, before the rain came, the wind came first, and the vegetation and dust swept across. Fortunately, the small cave on the stone wall where Ji Yuan was located was a bit special. The stone walls on both sides blocked a lot of wind, and with the angle of the upper side, there was a wind that was clearly a few feet away. In chaos, the grotto is relatively calm.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily!"

Ji Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand to touch the inside of the bag, and the smile froze in the next second.

I grabbed the bundle, opened it, looked and rummaged through it, and finally found four fresh dates in the corner, and everything else was gone.

'I actually finished eating the jujube? '

Scratching his itchy scalp, Ji Yuan really felt that he might have stayed here for a long time this time, after all, starvation is a real problem.

"Oh... this date is hard to come by, and it can also resist hunger. I wanted to save some food, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, how long it will be..."

Just as he was lamenting, Ji Yuan suddenly moved his ears and heard something different from the sound of the wind.

Ji Yuan followed the direction of the voice and looked to the left, but he couldn't see clearly, but he also proved that he heard correctly, someone was indeed approaching.

‘Someone will come to this kind of place? It seems to be abducted from the official road! '

Not long after, the voices of the visitors were clearly audible, and there were three people who could be seen, driving a carriage and leading two horses, hurrying towards the direction of the stone wall and mound.

"The Crouching Dragon Wall is ahead, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and hide before the rain comes down!"

"Hurry up, Zhuzi, Yulian, get out of the car so that the car can go faster."

…………

There were yelling and whipping sounds from time to time, and it sounded like they were here to hide from the rain.

Listening to what they said, Ji Yuan looked again at the pea-shaped rock wall grotto where he was.

"Crouching Dragon Wall? Where is this?"

After a while, the group of people driving the carriage finally arrived at the so-called Crouching Dragon Wall.

A group of people naturally noticed that there was a person with a pillow on the other side of the grotto looking at them, and an elder in the team who might be over fifty years old slightly bowed his hands towards Ji Yuan. Ji Yuan really didn't want to get up, so he hugged The book held back a salute.

The two sides did not speak, and Ji Yuan watched them hurriedly drive the carriage close to the hole in the rock wall, and two of the strong men quickly took a piece of wood with a pointed top and a wooden mallet from the carriage, At the beginning, a horse-hitting post was built on one side.

After working for a long time, the carriage and three horses were finally fixed to the edge of the grotto. The group of people also relaxed, and those outside and those who got off the cart all sat down in the grotto.

There were seven people in total, except for the elder who surrendered to the plan and two young men, the rest were a woman of the same age, a girl of sixteen or seventeen, and two little boys. The youngest boy was younger than Yin Qing, and the older boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Ji Yuan's eyes focused on the three horses, and then looked at the people who had already hidden in the stone wall. He had no special interest, so he looked at the book again.

"Boom..."

The thunder rang again, and after about a dozen breaths, the pouring rain fell to the ground with a "crash". It was obvious that the outside became more noisy, but there was a feeling that the world suddenly became quiet.

"Oh, I almost couldn't catch up. This road doesn't lead to the village or the back of the shop. Fortunately, it's not too far from the Crouching Dragon Wall!"

The elders in the team said something briskly, and a group of seven people sat there and chatted.

"Uncle Zhong, how long will the rain stop?"

"It seems that there are many thunderstorms that come suddenly at this time of year. They come and go quickly, and they will stop in at least an hour."

"Uncle, Uncle, there is a person lying down there, not moving, sleeping on such a dirty floor, isn't he a beggar?"

A little boy pointed at Ji Yuan and said this.

"Children's family, don't point and point at others, they are all travelers hiding from the rain!"

The elder Zhong surnamed reprimanded him in a slightly harsh tone.

However, the little boy's words also made Ji Yuan look at his appearance, at least the clothes are intact, and the sloppiness is not an exaggeration compared to his previous self... Well, why can't he look like a beggar?

"Hey hey...he was called a beggar again!"

Ji Yuan smiled nervously, mainly because he thought of his hesitant self at the beginning, and also thought of a certain scene in his previous life where Master Xing played Tang Bohu, it can be said that "today's mood is very different!"

It's a pity that the facts are not as the elder Zhong in the group said. The rain did not gradually weaken until an hour and a half later. sleep.

"Oh, someone came here in the rain!"

At the end of the grotto that had been quiet for a while, the little boy's voice started to shout again.

"Oh, you're still walking so slowly, it's all wet!"

Someone chimed in.

Ji Yuan frowned, temporarily put down the book and looked up into the rain, there was an elderly man wearing a round neck gown and a double-breasted smock slowly approaching this stone wall.

This person Ji Yuan can not only see clearly, but also Ji Yuan can't hear the sound of rainwater falling on him, but as the other party gets closer and closer, it is obvious that his clothes are already wet.

Ji Yuan subconsciously looked at the seven people on the opposite corner of the grotto, hoping it wasn't a bad situation.

The visitor seemed to be in a good mood. He walked to the edge of the grotto in the rain, and suddenly froze for a moment. He fixed his eyes on Ji Yuan, and seemed to realize that he was there, while Ji Yuan had already sat up with his book.

The eyes of the two sides met, and after two breaths, the person who came in the rain smiled, and just stood in the rain and cupped his hands at Ji Yuan, and the slightly relaxed Ji Yuan also smiled back.

The man in the rain came strolling, walked into the range of the stone wall to shelter from the rain, and then walked to the front of the grotto. The seven people who looked curiously at one side just nodded and smiled, and then walked directly to Ji Yuan's side.

People arrive before their voices arrive.

"Sir, you are very elegant!"

His eyes have already carefully observed Ji Yuan's whole body, the dust on his clothes, and his slightly sloppy hair, all of which indicate that Ji Yuan has been lying here for a long time.

Ji Yuan also observed the person carefully. He was neither tall nor short, and his figure was straight. His beard and eyebrows were long under the square crown on his head. His eyes were clear and full. He didn't look like he was seventy or eighty, but his face seemed to be over sixty. He didn't know whether it was a compliment or a joke. , Ji Yuan responded with a smile.

"Hehe...it's just a short rest here. When it comes to Yaxing, it can't compare to your leisurely walk in the rain."

While Ji Yuan was speaking, he was still paying attention to the water dripping from the other party's clothes from the corner of his eye. He could hear the sound of footsteps and falling to the ground. The water on the clothes did not seem to be fake.

The visitor was absolutely extraordinary, but he couldn't figure out whether it was a god, a demon or a fairy. Ji Yuan's heart was not as carefree as it appeared on the surface.

The leisurely look of the visitor was not a faux pas, he walked slowly to Ji Yuan and glanced at the book in his hand, his eyes seemed to widen a little.

"Heritages? Miscellaneous books from how many years ago! Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

"Please do yourself a favor, sir."

I just mind, this occasion is not suitable to say it.

The old man just sat a foot away from Ji Yuan, the rain on his body flowed from the ground where he was sitting, and also flowed to Ji Yuan, but Ji Yuan really didn't care about it, seeing that he didn't speak for the time being Meaning, naturally, he would not take the initiative to start a conversation, picked up the book and pretended to continue reading, and most of his mind was paying attention to others.

One of the two was reading a book absent-mindedly, and the other was looking at the rain outside the grotto, and they were silent for a while.

"Uncle, what are they doing?"

"Shh...don't talk nonsense! Everyone pack up, we'll leave when the rain stops..."

The elder surnamed Zhong kept his voice low, as if he had already sensed something was wrong, he had already winked as he spoke, and asked two strong young men to go to pull the horse posts.

People of the older generation often say that evil winds and rain easily collide with mandrills. In this wilderness, the one who came here does not seem to be a normal person, and now it seems that the one who was there is not normal.

Yes, in this case, except for the curiosity raised by the youngest child, the fastest and strongest feeling in the others is actually a sense of fear. The simple wisdom of the folks cannot be said to be all right, but it has indeed avoided a lot of fear. Disaster evil, this kind of reaction at that time, it may be difficult for many people who have not experienced it, but in the past life of Ji Yuan, many people must have scolded him for being stupid.

The inside of the grotto became very quiet, only the sound of the rain that was gradually thinning outside could be heard. After about a quarter of an hour passed, the rain gradually stopped, and the seven people at the other end of the grotto hurried away with their elders leading their horses and carts.

At this moment, Ji Yuan naturally hoped that the seven people would leave quickly, but seeing them go so resolutely, Ji Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional in his heart.

The word "fate" is really wonderful. Some people spend their whole life and never meet the mysterious mystery they are looking for until they die.
