The two returned to the crowd. Everyone was still sleeping. Xi Jin looked at the sky and said, "You go to sleep for a while. I won't leave this time."
Xi Jin knew that Xie Luo had just been worried that he had not slept well, so he sat down with peace of mind and said, "I'll accompany you. You should get some sleep before dawn, otherwise you won't have the energy to walk on the mountain road tomorrow."
"Okay." Xie Luo listened to Xi Jin's gentle words and felt so soft. It would be great if she could stay with him for the rest of his life.
Xi Jin sat aside, took the baggage he carried with him, and counted the items inside.
Except for some medicines and clothes that were brought out at the beginning, the rest of the things were supplied at the inn under Xie Luo's name.
But along the way, it was almost exhausted.
Fortunately, I can survive for a while thanks to the food sent by Mr. Liu.
This nameless mountain doesn't look high, but in fact it's so winding and winding inside that I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for three or four days.
She and Xie Luo were in good health and might be able to hold on for a while, but there were many young and old in this group. They had already walked hundreds of miles and were already unable to hold on. They were afraid that there would be casualties next.
Although Xi Jin is not a kind-hearted person, as a doctor, when faced with such a situation, she still thinks of the advice her grandfather gave her when she was young.
It is the belief engraved in the hearts of every Wei family member to help the world with medicine.
I don't know how long I sat there, but Xi Jin looked at the time through the gaps in the dense leaves of the tall trees in the forest.
It was already the end of the hour, and there should have been light in the sky, but it was still pitch black.
After a while, it started to rain, and everyone who was sleeping was woken up: "It's raining!"
"What can we do?" The people who hurried into the mountain didn't even have anything to cover them, let alone rain gear.
I'm afraid I'll get sick if I get caught in the rain.
Xie Luo took a coat and put it on Xi Jin's head, his handsome face full of worry.
Jin'er is a woman after all, so she can't let the rain damage her body.
At this time, Lin Churou walked out from the depths of the forest, with a ruddy face and messy clothes.
She saw Xie Luo in the crowd at a glance. There were so many dignitaries in the past standing there, but he was the only one who was tall and tall, and his appearance was different from the others at first glance.
But he held up his shirt to cover the woman in front of him, with a caring expression on his face.
Lin Churou snorted coldly, feeling a little more resentful.
After a while, Huang Yong slowly walked out of the forest with a satisfied look on his face.
Mr. Liu looked at the two people and immediately understood what they had done. He said angrily: "Where did you go? It's raining today. What do you think we should do?"
"What should I do? How do I know what to do." Huang Yong spread his hands with an indifferent expression, and he was not the one caught in the rain.
"If this group of people does not recover from typhoid fever, how can we explain to Yazhou?" Master Liu gritted his teeth.
I originally wanted to make some extra money during this escort trip, but if I really lost a lot of people, I'm afraid I would end up in Yazhou too.
Xi Jin saw that Xie Luo had been covering herself up, but half of her clothes were soaked, so she quickly got closer to him and let him block the rain together.
"Jin'er, have you been into the mountains before? Have you ever encountered such a situation?" Xie Luo asked.
"Yes, when I was young, I often followed my grandfather into the mountains to collect herbs." Xi Jin's eyes lit up, "What do you mean..."
"Then do you think it's possible for us to find a cave to take shelter from the rain?"
Xie Luo has never been into the mountains and is not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, but judging from the miscellaneous notes, there are usually some caves in the deep mountains.
"It's not impossible, it's just that you have to be familiar with the terrain to find it. Even if you find it, there may be beasts or something inside."
"Instead of sitting around and waiting for death, it's better to look for it."
Xie Luo watched the rain getting heavier and heavier. If it continues like this, his clothes will be soaked?
He walked to Master Liu and expressed his thoughts.
Master Liu listened, patted Xie Luo's shoulder, and said loudly: "What Xie Luo said is not unreasonable. The spring rain is lingering. I don't know how long this rain will last. We'd better get on the road as soon as possible. Everyone, look at these carefully. Take a look. Is there a cave on this mountain road that can provide shelter from the rain? If anyone finds the cave, I will reward him with a bag of food."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited. Everyone had not eaten for a long time, and some were even so hungry that they picked some weeds to eat. It would be great if they could find a cave to shelter from the rain and get food.
The rain has been falling, everyone has been soaked in the rain, and the mountain road has become increasingly muddy and difficult to walk.
In this way, everyone was soaking in the rain while looking for a cave to take shelter from the rain.
Seeing that he was already half wet, Xi Jin no longer let Xie Luo cover him: "I know some herbs. I will point them out to you later. If you see them, you can also pick them. Maybe you can use them along the way." Put it to some use."
"Okay." Xie Luo couldn't help but sigh at Xi Jin's delicate thoughts and thoroughness in dealing with things.
Everyone drove the muddy mountain road step by step for most of the day, until late in the evening. Just when everyone could no longer hold on, Xi Jin saw what seemed to be a cave behind a big tree and surrounded by weeds.
"Xie Luo, look there." Xi Jin pointed to the place he found. He took a few steps closer to become more certain that it was a cave.
Everyone heard the sound and looked over. Mr. Liu immediately sent an officer to take a look. The officer quickly came back and reported: "Sir, it is indeed a cave, but..."
"Just what?"
"The cave doesn't look big. It shouldn't be able to accommodate so many of us." The guard looked at everyone's eagerness to try and said with some embarrassment.
"Of course, let us go in first to take shelter from the rain." Master Huang asked a few of his cronies to pull out the weeds at the entrance of the cave.
He had had enough of the rain. Although he had rain gear to protect him, the muddy mountain road made his shoes soaked. There was no place to take shelter from the rain.
After his cronies removed the weeds at the entrance of the cave, Mr. Huang walked in with a swagger.
But soon, everyone heard a shrill cry coming from the cave.
"Pig... wild boar, there is a wild boar in the cave!" Mr. Huang yelled and ran out in a pee.
It was just a pig. Just when everyone wanted to laugh at Master Huang for being as timid as a mouse, the wild boar that Master Huang mentioned appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Everyone was so shocked that they forgot to move. Unlike the pig they imagined, this wild boar weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Its two fangs glowed horribly in the morning light, and its bloody mouth was so big that it seemed like it could Devour a person in one bite.
The wild boar was afraid that he had never seen so many people before, and he suddenly became excited. Seeing Master Huang barking, he rushed over.
When Mr. Huang saw it, he ran away, but how could a two-legged man outrun a four-legged beast? He was quickly caught up.
The wild boar didn't intend to eat Mr. Huang in one bite. Instead, it pushed him against the tree trunk.
Master Liu looked at all this and was so frightened that he sweated. He could only order a few officers to take out their bows and arrows and shoot at the wild boar.
But despite the fact that these officers usually only have five or six men, they act recklessly and are extremely powerful when they swing their whips, but now when they were asked to pick up bows and arrows, none of them were accurate.
Finally, an arrow got close to the wild boar, but it made the wild boar even more excited and immediately rushed towards the crowd...
