The fat man became interested and pestered Zhang Zhu to sing a few more times, "It sounds really good to me. Muyu, please continue singing. Fatty also wants to learn a few lines."
Just as he was talking, several muffled thunders suddenly sounded above his head. When he looked up, he saw black clouds above the tree crowns, lightning flashing, and rain stars floating in the air.
"A-Ning" sighed, "It was raining continuously during the journey. It seems that the Queen Mother of the West does not welcome us. We will suffer a lot tonight."
The fat man said with an indifferent expression: "Let's go, let's go. It's better if it rains. It'll be cool when it rains. If you're so bored, my head will be cooked by your fat man."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was very happy.
Pan Zi laughed and scolded: "Then you have to watch your head carefully, don't wait until it is scorched by thunder."
As soon as the words fell, the rain really started to fall. Thunderbolts struck on the leaves, and the formation suddenly rose. Along with the thunder, the rain passed through the tree crowns and poured water on everyone's heads. It hit the body like a whip, and the bleached rain curtain made people blurry. I can't even open my eyes.
"What the fuck!" The fat man cursed while running with his head in his hands, "This bitch just says whatever she wants and doesn't say hello at all."
"Aning" pointed forward and shouted, "The vines between the two trees over there are more densely entangled. Let's go over there and take shelter."
After hearing this, everyone ran to the tree one after another, and then climbed up the tree one after another, finally able to take a breath.
As soon as the fat man sat down, he immediately bounced up with an "ouch", covering his thigh and yelled: "What is that thing crawling in the fat man's trouser legs? Come on, come on, come on, Muyu, help me take a look."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhuoxun immediately came over and said, "Don't move around. Roll up your trouser legs and let me take a look."
As soon as the fat man let go, he screamed and twisted again, "Oh no, let go and run up."
He was twisting and turning, but Zhang Zhuxun couldn't do anything, so he had to suggest: "Pick up your pants and shake them to see if they can come off."
The fat man swished at the hair, as if something was scurrying around and slapping and beating. It took a long time to stop, and then hesitantly said: "It seems to be gone."
"Eh? Wait a minute, there's something behind your pants." Wu Xiaoxie suddenly saw something. He reached out to the seam of his pants and plucked it. He looked under the miner's lamp and saw a grass-brown flower insect the size of a fingernail between his fingers. Flapping his claws, "What is this? A bug?"
Zhang Zhuoxun swatted the bugs off his hand and shouted, "Grass ticks! Damn, move quickly, there are grass ticks here."
Everyone was shocked, and when they moved their feet, they realized that this place was clearly a nest of grass ticks!
The leaves and trunks under me were all densely packed with flower insects. They were attracted by the fresh blood, but they were too afraid to crawl directly onto people.
"There is no branch on the tree over there, go over there quickly." Zhang Zhuoxun pointed to the tree on the other side and shouted.
Everyone hurriedly slipped down the tree and climbed to another tree.
"Look at the fat man's pants, is there any more?" The fat man shouted anxiously, raised his waist and pushed into Wu Xiaoxie's face, making Wu Xiaoxie cursed in anger.
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and patted him, "When did your pants get torn? I guess you accidentally rubbed a grass tick in when you were sitting just now. The quality of the products I produce is absolutely guaranteed. I didn't see any mosquitoes along the way." They all go around us."
"That's true." The fat man scratched his head and twisted his body to feel it. There seemed to be no strange feeling in his body.
To be on the safe side, except for Zhang Zhuxun and the younger brother, Fatty Wu Xiaoxie and the others lifted up their trousers and clothes to check each other, and then they were relieved after confirming that there were no grass ticks on their bodies.
The fat man complained: "These pants are too small. When I was moving rocks in the Devil's City, my crotch broke accidentally. At that time, I was thinking about turning on the clothes to cool down when the weather was so hot, but I forgot about it when I entered the forest. Thanks to the anti-insect weapon you gave me Muyu, otherwise Fatty would have been bitten by a grass tick this time."
Wu Xiaoxie laughed at him and said, "If you don't lose weight, you will suffer a lot this time."
The fat man ignored his taunts, moved closer to Zhang Shuxun, and asked in a low voice, "Muyu, do you have any needlework or anything in your treasure box? I'll find a place to sew the pants on. If you don't close the door, if you get in, you won't be able to do anything." That would kill me."
"Wait." Zhang Zhuoxun put down his backpack, emptied out half of the contents, found a pair of camouflage overalls, pulled them open, shook them out, and handed them to him, "Here, thanks to the foresight I had, I got one for each of us. Jacket, put it on quickly."
The fat man laughed and ran to the side to put on new ones. He didn't throw away the pants that were torn in the crotch. He folded them into a square shape for Zhang Zhuxun to sit on.
"A Ning" looked at her and rolled her eyes, "It's not like you're in confinement, so you're so squeamish."
Zhang Shuxun was about to refuse, but after hearing this, he immediately stood up and smiled at "A Ning", "I want you to take care of it."
The fat man didn't tolerate her, so he replied: "Fat man, this is called brothers and sisters. Muyu is the youngest among us. What's wrong with me taking care of her? You, an outsider, are more lenient."
"A Ning" was so angry that he clenched his fists and then unclenched them, snorted coldly, walked to the side and turned his back and ignored him.
Pan Zi tied the tarpaulin with ropes between the branches of the trees and built a temporary shelter for everyone to protect them from the rain.
Everyone simply ate something to replenish their energy. The gas lamp that was turned on had already dried the clothes halfway. Several people leaned against each other in pairs, chatting and became a little drowsy.
Pan Zi said: "I will be on guard. You all should have a good rest."
The little brother had no intention of sleeping. He just held the knife and leaned against the tree trunk. He stared blankly at the bottom of the tree, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Zhuoxun closed his eyes and squinted for a while, when he suddenly felt a black shadow flashing past his eyes. He was startled and stood up. Wu Xiaoxie who was leaning on him suddenly lost support. He tilted his body and met the person next to him. The fat man's heads were knocked together and he said "ouch" in pain.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Thinking they were in danger, several people stood up and looked around cautiously with the guns beside them.
Zhang Zhuoxun waved his hand and said comfortingly: "It's okay. The little brother suddenly disappeared from my eyes just now and is now under the tree."
Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his head and asked doubtfully: "What is he going to do now?"
"I don't know." Pan Zi held the miner's lamp and shone it under the tree. The little brother could no longer see the shadow, so he said helplessly, "I was sitting fine, but he stood up without saying a word and got off the tree. I didn't even have time. ask."
Zhang Zhuoxun put the knife on his back, grabbed the tree and slid down, "I'll go take a look, you guys stay up there for now."
I went down to the bottom of the tree and looked left and right. Everywhere was empty, not even a ghost.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, it's strange, where are the people? He won't run away again, he shouldn't, it's not time yet.
Just as he was thinking about it, the branches diagonally above his head suddenly trembled. Then, half of the brother's body emerged from the shadow of the plant. After seeing Zhang Zhuxun, he waved for him to come up.
