Chapter 13 013: Rainy Night


    It was raining heavily outside, and the world was almost connected, with lightning and thunder accompaniment from time to time.


    Qi Shan was awakened by the noise knocking on the door shortly after sleeping. He opened his eyes and got up, tidying up his clothes, and was about to put on wooden clogs and go to open the door, Chen Tang opened the door first.


    The visitor was wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, looking anxious—


    It is the village official of Qianjia Village.


    Chen Tang turned sideways and invited someone into the house.


    "It rained heavily outside the house, so my father-in-law came in to speak first."


    Mu Zheng waved his hand and declined: "No, no."


    Qi Shan stepped forward: "I looked anxious, but something happened?"


    "Did you see A Yan?" The house was full of wind and rain, and Muramasa''s face was wet with rain, and it was ticking down. He didn''t bother to wipe it with his hands, and his voice was trembling a little, "That child... just didn''t watch it, and he disappeared!"


    Chen Tang said in confusion: "Who is Ayan?"


    "It''s the child who had **** with the little husband before."


    He said this and knew who Chen Tang was.


    It turned out to be the child who looked dumb and stupid.


    His name is "Ayan".


    Chen Tang looked at the situation outside the house and shook his head: "We have been in the house and haven''t seen him. When did he disappear?"


    Muramasa: "Just just now, at most a quarter of an hour."


    Chen Tang''s expression was so sank that his naked eyes could be seen.


    One quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes.


    The rain outside the house could not stop the Dalian straw raincoat and hat. The wind was howling and the heavy rain poured in. You could vaguely hear the howling of wild beasts from the mountains, which was so cunning. A child disappeared in such weather. I am afraid that he was taken away by the jackals and tigers and leopards who were touched into the village?


    This is also what Muramasa is most worried about.


    He said, "It would be fine if he ran out to play, but he was afraid that he would be taken away by the big insects who went down the mountain..."


    In recent years, there have been little drought and heavy taxes, and wars are still everywhere. The villagers have not lived well, and the wild beasts in the mountains have not lived well, so they often go down the mountain to find food. It’s okay to just take away the livestock raised by the villagers, because I’m afraid I’ll take away the children.


    Similar tragedies have occurred three times in the past two years.


    Qi Shan took the hat hanging on the wall and put it on his head, tied the rope, and said, "Don''t worry, my father-in-law, I will help you find it, you will always find the child. If you think about it, maybe it is unknown if the child was taken back by the servants of Zhuangzi..."


    Murama sighed.


    He also hoped that everything would be just a false alarm, as Qi Shan said, the child was not missing or taken away by a big insect, but was taken back, but he knew that the possibility was slim. Ayan was not valued, and her quality of life in Zhuangzi was just not starving to death.


    Half a month ago, I stayed in the village for four or five days before I was taken back - this was the result of a deliberately reminder from a villager in Qianjia Village who met one of the old women. The weather is so bad tonight, let alone expect them to pick people up in the rain.


    Chen Tang said, "I will help you find it too."


    Qi Shan glanced at him and said, "Even if you don''t want to see what weather is outside? Avoid not finding you and you will be lost."


    Meng Zheng was grateful to Qishan for helping him and did not agree with Chen Tang going out. This young man was still childish and was still thin at the age of 11 or 2, and looked only five or six years older than Ayan.


    "These worries are unnecessary, how could I lose them? No matter how bad it is, it is better than letting the villagers go to find someone in the dark." Chen Tang and the village borrowed a straw raincoat and hat. The village was worried and handed her a hatchet to chop wood. If they were unlucky, they could hold on.


    “A Yan!”


    The heavy rain made the land muddy.


    Although Chen Tang has good eyesight, he will step on puddles from time to time, and the mud and water splash when walking, making the hem of his clothes dirty. In a quarter of an hour, she searched the fields near Qianjia Village but couldn''t find A Yan''s shadow, and the other villagers also had no gains.


    The longer the time, the less confident everyone is.


    Qishan asked where the village was, and he planned to go to the village to ask. Although it is unlikely that it will be picked up, what if?


    Chen Tang volunteered: "I''ll go too."


    The villagers of Qianjia Village searched near the deep mountains, and the same was true for the children who were taken away by the big insects. After searching for a night, they couldn''t find the intestines, minced meat and bones that were dragged outside at the foot of the mountain and in the grass.


    "Yan Ling is so magical, why doesn''t it have the function of sheltering from the rain?"


    Although she was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, Chen Tang was still soaked in a drool. The feeling of the cold clothes sticking to her skin made her extremely uncomfortable. If the night wind blows into the gap in the straw raincoat, it will also cause goosebumps.


    Qishan said, "Maybe there is."


    Who made Yan Ling so much?


    Let’s talk about it—


    "Even if there is, no word spirit can be learned. It would be better to wear more rain gear if you want such a word spirit in the world."


    Chen Tang trotted and followed his footsteps, regardless of the heavy pace, sewage would splash. Anyway, it was already dirty, so no matter how much he paid attention to it, it would be the same: "Are there any lighting objects that are not wet by rain? It is convenient to march on heavy rain and walk at night..."


    Qi Shan: “…”


    Zhuangzi is not very far from Qianjia Village.


    The two of them walked along the muddy path, one foot deep and the other shallow, and walked for two quarters of an hour before they found it. It was a courtyard surrounded by low walls, and you could vaguely see the black tiles and white walls. The courtyard was pitch black and there was no light. From a distance, it looked like a curled-up black shadow of a wild beast.


    Chen Tang stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.


    Dongdongdongdong—


    At this time, a lightning thunder jumped in the clouds, illuminating half of the sky, and the deafening thunder followed.


    She was worried that she would not hear it inside, so she changed from knocking on the door with her fingers to knocking on the door with a fist, and gradually increased her strength - Bangbangbang!


    Just when she thought there was no one in the house, she vaguely heard a man answering impatiently: "Who are you knocking on the door?"


    After a while, the door opened.


    The middle-aged man who opened the door was wearing a short brown robe and a scarf on his head. He seemed very dissatisfied with someone disturbing his dream in the middle of the night, and his face was unkind and swept over Chen Tang and Qi Shan. Seeing that the two of them were tall and short, they were not old, and their expressions seemed to be slightly relaxed, and they were a little more kind.


    “Who are the two?”


    Chen Tang replied: "We are travelers staying in Qianjia Village. I heard that the child named Ayan was from your village. He didn''t go back to play in the village during the day and disappeared not long ago. The village was worried that it was taken away by a big insect and was searching everywhere."


    The middle-aged man''s expression relaxed a lot after hearing Chen Tang''s words: "Oh, A Yan has been taken back, so please both of you worry."


    Retrieve it? ? ?


    Chen Tang frowned slightly.


    Using the hat to cover it, it will return to its normal color.


    At this time, Qi Shan crossed his hands and bowed to the man, and said with a gentle expression: "The little man in the mansion is fine, so I feel relieved. But it''s dark now and the road is narrow and the wind and rain are heavy. Can you borrow your mansion for the time being and allow my brothers to take shelter from the rain here?"


    When the middle-aged man heard this, he hesitated for a moment.


    But he turned sideways and let Chen Tang and the others come in, saying, "You two are also running around in the rain for the child to take shelter from the rain, so of course you can do it. But it''s too late now, and everyone in the house has already fallen asleep and cannot entertain you. I hope you can forgive me."


    Qishan: "This is natural, you can just take shelter from the rain with one roof."


    The two followed the middle-aged man into the courtyard.


    There were several trees planted in the yard, and there were hemp ropes for clothes hanging between the trunks, and clothes were hung on them - there were seven or eight adults, and there was also a piece of shampooed and patched children''s clothes.


    Chen Tang glanced at him and withdrew his gaze without a trace.


    Wow, I recommended it on the flash screen today, and my collection has increased a little.


    ??I don’t know if there are any new readers at this time, hehe (#^.^#)
