Chapter 339 Don't be afraid, I'm here
While walking, Si Chong'er moved, as if he heard the sound of rushing water in the distance. He quickened his pace while observing the surrounding situation.
Not long after, he raised his eyes and saw a yellow torrent, sweeping the broken branches and stones rushing, as if he had been smashing everything on the ground with his big hands.
Si had a bad heart and immediately changed his direction. He knew that it would be too late to go to Mount Ai at this time, and he had to hurry up and find a place with higher terrain.
Si Zhong aimed at a hill next to him, which was the place where he came here to chop firewood before. He had observed it the last time he came here. Although it was not a towering mountain, the top of the mountain was still of a certain height, and it should be able to withstand the attack. torrent.
Li Qingyan was stunned by the scene in front of her, she didn't dare to say anything, she just put her arms around Si Zhong's neck, and quietly lay on his back.
Si Zhong walked fast, running in the water, his leg was cut by a stone on the way, he just frowned, not daring to delay at all.
Just when the torrent reached the bottom of his feet, he finally went up the mountain. However, the soil of this mountain was soft, and it fell apart when it was washed by the water.
In just a few breaths, the road that Si Zhong walked just now disappeared.
When he arrived on land, Si Zhong's pace was obviously faster than before. He walked all the way to the top of the mountain, the sweat flowing from his forehead flowed down his cheeks into his chest, merged with the rain, and he was out of breath.
Arriving at a safe place, Si Zhong finally had the time to turn around and look behind him.
Looking at the past, both Si Zhong and Li Qingyan were shocked.
I saw that the original village was soaked into a "vast ocean", most of the houses only had a roof, and people could still imagine its original appearance.
Some low-lying houses, or some old houses that are not very strong, simply disappeared.
Li Qingyan felt apprehensive watching, and couldn't help whispering softly in Si Zhong's ear.
"It's scary."
Si Zhong put Li Qingyan on the flat floor, held her in his arms, and comforted her softly.
At this time, the rain was still falling, and both of them were soaked through. The first thing to do was to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Fortunately, Si Zhong understood the terrain here and knew that there was an abandoned temple on the top of the mountain. He put Li Qingyan on his back again and continued walking towards the top of the mountain.
Not long after, the two finally arrived at a place where they could shelter from the wind and rain.
The plaque at the entrance of the temple is impressively written with the words "Mountain Temple".
Weeds are overgrown at the entrance of the temple, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. If you walk in, you will find a not-so-big hall. In the hall, there are incense tables with thick dust on them. Hu, looks a little fierce.
The windows in the hall were all open, and the fallen leaves from outside floated in along the windows and fell all over the ground.
This place, it seems that no one has been here for a long time, revealing desolation everywhere.
Si Zhong let Li Qingyan sit on the futon, went to the corner to clean up a place, and spread thick leaves and hay.
Then he went to find some dry branches, took out the flint and steel he had prepared earlier and lit the fire.
After Si Zhong finished packing, he closed the doors and windows tightly, then took off his clothes, put them on the rack to bake, and then told Li Qingyan.
"Take off your wet clothes quickly."
Li Qingyan has long felt sticky and uncomfortable, but...
"Take it off, what should I wear?"
Li Qingyan lowered her head, her expression was indescribable, mainly because she felt that it was too embarrassing to stand naked in front of Si Zhong.
Si Zhong didn't care about that, he thought Li Qingyan was afraid of taking off her clothes and getting cold, so he went straight to help Li Qingyan.
"Wearing wet clothes will catch cold, I will hold you in my arms later."
