Qingyan followed everyone's eyes and took the opportunity to take a closer look at his feet.
She heard it just now. The other person should have jumped from the roof. The sound of landing was not loud and it felt very light. It seemed that this person did have qinggong.
Of course, Qingyan listened carefully to the sound of him coming up to the room, so she was sure that he didn't jump up directly. She suspected that he might have helped him up midway through the parkour style like in later generations.
Then this skill is considered to be remarkable, at least she wouldn't dare to jump off the roof of the Dragon King Temple.
The building of the Dragon King Temple is not like an ordinary house. It is only two or three meters high. The roof of the main hall is high, even the eaves are nearly four meters. It takes courage to jump down from it.
In fact, even if it was two or three meters high, she would not dare to jump directly.
After the man came in, he went directly to the place vacated by the villagers. At this time, the villagers had also taken out the dry firewood and hay from the corner and placed them in the middle.
The hay is actually used for people to rest on, but it may have been put there for a long time and has broken into pieces. Since we can't sit down, we might as well just use it to light the fire.
Now everyone is still standing, but there is no choice. There is water on the ground from everyone twisting their clothes. It is so wet that there is no place to sit. Even Qingyan and the others are full of people standing here.
There was a two-meter square space in the middle, and a fire was quickly lit.
Although the grass and firewood were dry, there was still smoke when the fire was lit, and many people choked and coughed.
Xue Minghua looked worriedly at a pair of children. Fortunately, they were blocked in the back. The two children were small and sat in the middle. The smoke did not come over and drifted directly out the door.
Fortunately, there was no wind after it rained outside. It would be uncomfortable if the wind blew into the house.
There were too many people and there was no room, so everyone could only take turns to go to the front to warm themselves over the fire. The people in the front would retreat to the back every ten minutes, and another group of people would come up to grill. Qingyan felt that these villagers were quite united. , at least not as top-notch or weird as what she saw on TV.
The people taking turns were all adults, and the children did not move. There were only seven children in this group, and they were placed directly in front, as were the five oldest old people among them.
When everyone rotated, they were not allowed to move. This virtue of respecting the old and loving the young was still implemented thoroughly.
The three people didn't change either. They might not be from the same village, so it's not easy to force them.
The two tall men had been standing behind the little girl disguised as a man, letting her warm herself by the fire. The little girl was quite interesting. Sometimes she was warming the front, and sometimes she turned her back and was warming the back. She never put down the baggage in her hands.
The hay was burned at the beginning, and the fire was very loud. After the hay burned away, only the firewood was left. The flames gradually became smaller, but the smoke was also much smaller.
The temperature was not much lower. Qingyan felt that this person had a higher temperature because of the heat. Coupled with the steaming heat from the fire, she was sweating a little.
The rain outside never stopped, but got heavier and heavier. She didn't want to get up and go out to take a look. She was afraid that it would be difficult to squeeze in when she came back. Moreover, everyone was wet and she was afraid of getting wet. .
After thinking about it, he asked Chou Chou to use his spiritual consciousness to look at the situation outside, mainly to see if the little donkey had been caught in the rain. If the rain got heavy, the eaves might not be able to stop it.
Chou Chou obediently looked outside with his spiritual consciousness and said to Qingyan: "It's okay, that little donkey is smarter than you think. It moved its entire body under the eaves by itself, even the hooves and legs were splashed with water. It was wet from the rain, and my head and body were dry.
There's nothing wrong inside the car. Only the cabin where you are sitting is wet. The rest of the car is dry. There's nothing you can do about it. That side is facing out and exposed to the rain. It's normal to get wet. "
Qingyan didn't care. She had thought of it before. She could just sit on the other side when the time came. The little donkey could walk on its own anyway, so she didn't have to sit outside.
If the rain lightens up and turns into a drizzle after a while, they can just get in the car and leave. They can still drive while sitting in the car, and they can just get a branch to show off.
Then she asked Chou Chou to help her look at her watch. Now that she was surrounded by people, it was difficult to take out her watch.
Chou Chou: "It's half past five now."
Unexpectedly, they have been here for nearly an hour. If the rain doesn't stop, it will probably be ninety o'clock before they arrive in the capital.
Feeling the bag move, Qingyan reached into the bag and touched the little leopard comfortingly, receiving a loving kiss from the little leopard.
She pinched the little leopard's fleshy paws and rubbed them. The little ball was soft and soft. Although it was a little hot, she liked the touch of fur, so she was reluctant to take her hands out.
The little leopard thought Qingyan was playing with it, so it put its other paw into her hand and licked her with its tongue from time to time.
As the rain lasts longer and longer, the sky gradually gets brighter. In this month, it will not get completely dark until at least around 7:30. At 5:30, the sky is still very bright, and the sun is even brighter. Not down the mountain yet.
Now that the sky is getting brighter, it means that the rain should stop soon.
Sure enough, after more than twenty minutes, the sound of splashing outside gradually disappeared, leaving only the sound of water dripping from the eaves.
During this period, these villagers also chatted quietly, but they didn't talk about any big things. They were basically concerned about the health of their family members, and the dry food and grains in their bags were soaked in water. If they don't eat them quickly, , I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.
Granular grains will germinate if soaked in water, while those that have been ground into powder will spoil quickly when exposed to water.
They had brought in baskets and sacks, and put the poles and carts outside. If they were pushed in, they would not be able to fit them in the temple. Even the baskets were crowded and some even put their children in them. Sitting on it freed up some space.
Fortunately, the clothes people wear now are made of burlap, which wets quickly and dries quickly. Many people's clothes have been dried by body heat.
Now everyone is carrying the clothes they took out of their bags and baking them. A few women went outside to bring in the tubs and pots on the carts, presumably to prepare dinner.
Qingyan listened carefully and felt that the rain outside had lightened up a lot. It was probably just drizzle. She said to Xue Minghua: "Sister, the rain outside has lightened up a lot. How about we just go on the road? Otherwise it will be too late to reach the capital." ."
Xue Minghua nodded, "Okay, the rain looks like it won't stop for a while. It's better to leave as soon as the rain stops. Maybe there will be no rain if we go south."
Qingyan stood up and took out the two baskets first. The rain was indeed drizzling, but another dark cloud came from the west. It looked heavy. It was estimated that there would be another rain. It was a good time to go.
Qingyan put the big basket into the car first and touched the mattress inside. It was indeed not wet. She rolled up the quilt when she took it in.
He spread out the mattress, took out the two quilts from the basket and put them in, and tied the basket to the back of the cart again. The small basket and the basket were tied to the shaft of the cart. The gourd and bowl filled with water were inside. Drink water on the way. time is convenient.
Entering the temple again and preparing to help Xue Minghua out, she heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance. She was stunned and quickly asked Chou Chou to use her spiritual sense to see who was coming.
Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to explore the distance, and then said to Qingyan, there were about a dozen men on horses coming outside, holding a big knife in their sinister hands, and they did not look like good people.
They are coming this way, and they are moving very fast. We may not be able to escape. You'd better be ready to fight. Do you want me to go out and help you? "
Qingyan frowned. In such bad weather, could she still run into robbers?
"Isn't this the Xingtang Mansion soon? Isn't it supposed to be safer here? How could someone be so blatant?"
Chou Chou replied: "This is just an important city, not an imperial city, and it's also close to the north. It doesn't necessarily have to be managed very strictly."
When Qingyan heard what it said, she felt that this was what happened.
At this time, the two tall men opposite obviously heard the noise and ran out of the temple, followed closely by the little girl.
Qingyan raised her eyebrows when she saw her steps. She had only paid attention to the flaw in her disguise as a man before. She really didn't notice the steps and posture of this little girl. She seemed to be a practicing artist.
And his skills look pretty good, but of course he's still a little behind compared to her.
This is not because she is narcissistic. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. Even if she is no better than her two brothers and parents, she has practiced martial arts every day for ten years and has become extremely powerful after drinking the spiritual spring water. He is considered to be at the level of a martial arts master.
Therefore, there is definitely no comparison between the other party and myself. Of course, in this ancient time, he should be considered to be quite skilled.
There is no way to take Xue Minghua and the others away now. People in the temple have already heard the sound of horse hooves. They are probably not far away and it is too late to leave.
He turned to Xue Minghua and said, "Sister, please keep the two children from coming out. I'll go out and take a look outside."
Xue Minghua grabbed her hand and said, "I don't know if the person coming is an enemy or a friend. If he is a vicious and vicious person, just leave and leave us alone."
Obviously she could see the solemn look on Qingyan's face. The person outside was probably not a good person. Now that the sound of horse hooves was very close, she was afraid that no one could avoid it.
They met by chance, and Qingyan was kind enough to save their mother and son. She was already very grateful. She couldn't let others risk her life. She should have no problem escaping by herself.
Qingyan patted her hand and reassured her, "It's okay. He's not necessarily a bad person. Even I will be fine. Just stay inside and don't let the child go out."
After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd.
When they got outside, they saw three people standing under the eaves outside the door, not far away.
Those who came on horseback were very close, and they could already see the number of people clearly.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and a dozen or so people were all wet. They must have been galloping in the rain and did not stop to avoid the rain.
Qingyan looked at the ten tall horses subconsciously, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.
These horses were no less sleek and smooth than those ridden by Vice General Wang and his companions. They did not have the fatigue of traveling on those horses, and they were also fatter and stronger. After all, war horses had to be trained regularly, and they would not have so much fat on them if they worked harder.
This horse looks like it has been well taken care of. It is probably not used much and only ridden at critical moments.
From this distance, you can already see the faces of those people. As Chou Chou said, they all look fierce.
The three people in front heard the noise coming from behind and turned their heads to take a look.
Seeing that it was her, the two men quickly turned around, and the little girl disguised as a man said to her: "These people come with bad intentions and are really capable of killing people. We can resist them for a while. You can leave quickly." "
Qingyan raised her eyebrows. It seemed that they were really chasing after them. There were two possibilities for this woman disguising herself as a man. One was traveling in the world, and the other was hiding from her enemies. With this, they were obviously the latter.
However, even if they were implicated by the other party, if the other party could let them go first and they resisted instead of running away by themselves, they probably weren't bad people, so she didn't mind helping.
After all, Xue Qingyan is not only a powerful person, but also a person with cheats.
Ask her what her plug-in is? Of course it’s Chou Chou!
Not only is Chou Chou's force value, but also its space. If it really doesn't work, it can directly take people into the space, which is a death. As long as it moves fast enough, it takes it in and releases it immediately. Others may not know this. How people die.
This operation had to be done while the chaos was happening, one by one, and others would most likely not notice, so she was actually somewhat confident.
Just when I thought of this, I saw the two guards in front of me pulled out two soft swords from their waists!
Qingyan's eyes suddenly widened, thinking, this is awesome! He didn't cut himself, and the belt was still in good condition. I don't know if it was because the dagger was too blunt, or if the cloth wrapping the dagger's belt was special.
Those people were about to arrive, and she had no time to study their belts. Even the short girl pulled out a soft sword from her waist.
Qingyan looked at her empty hands, which seemed a little inappropriate. However, there were only daggers and some car repair tools in the Chou Chou space, and there were no other weapons.
You can't fight with a dagger against someone with a machete. Besides, she only learned boxing and she can't do well with daggers.
After thinking about it, I might as well go up with my bare hands. As the saying goes, you can knock someone to death with just one fist. If that doesn't work, you can just crush your hands to them. Your arms will be smashed and they won't be able to lift them. The same goes for weapons.
Those people had already arrived, and the three of them stepped forward, one by one, blocking the three knights at the front, and jumped up to force them off their horses!
Qingyan's eyes widened in envy. This was really Qinggong. She jumped so high all of a sudden!
