Chapter 29 Heavy rain

After leaving Zhuti Mountain, Zhang Rui did not go to Zhuti County, but took his family south.

But the two girls felt sad and sad.

I originally agreed to take them home to meet their relatives, but he did not feel sad after he came like this?

In short, they haven't said a word to Zhang Rui for a day.

...

In the afternoon, the sky was covered with clouds and raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.

After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, the ground became muddy, and the carriage was even more stuck in the mud and unable to move.

Speaking of this carriage, it was stolen by Zhang Rui from Sheng Hong, and it has been kept in Xiaozhai Village.

When he arrived at Xiaozhai Village, Zhang Rui asked someone to put two horses in the car and let two girls sit in the car and rush on the road.

It’s great to have this carriage, otherwise it would be like this heavy rain, two girls would definitely get seriously ill if they get wet.

There is a problem now, that is, the right wheel of the carriage is stuck in a mud pit and can't be pushed out.

"Push hard, push hard!" Zhang Rui put his hands on the right wheel covered in mud, trying to push the carriage up from the mud pit.

Zhang Zhong and Wang You were behind the car, lowering their heads and pushing them up hard.

As for Zhang Ji, he held a horse rope in his left and right hands, comforting the two anxious horses.

In the carriage, Rulan reached out to lift the curtains, and the rain hit her little head.

"Ru girl, put down the curtain quickly."

When Zhang Rui saw this girl, he lifted the curtain and was afraid that she would be wet by the rain, so he quickly said.

Rulan looked at Zhang Rui who was wet by the rain and felt very distressed, so she stretched out her hand and wiped the rainwater from his forehead.

Seeing this girl, she was not only disobedient, but also braved the heavy rain and reached out to wipe the rain on his forehead.

Zhang Rui was anxious, afraid that she would get infected with the cold, and said, "Girl Ming, pull your sister into the carriage, hurry up."

Minglan also knew that it was not the time to cause trouble for him, so she reached out to pull Rulan back.

At the same time, Zhang Rui spoke loudly to Zhang Zhong and said, "Second, let's push the car out of the mud pit together."

"I understand, dad!" Zhang Zhong stretched out his right hand, wiped off the rain from his face, and replied loudly.

"Okay, use force..."

After Zhang Rui finished speaking, the three of them gritted their teeth and prepared to push the car out in one go.

As time passed, the blue veins on the foreheads of the three of them swelled up, and the carriage was always spinning.

Just when Zhang Rui and the others were about to persevere, they pulled the carriage forward with force. After a while, the right wheel finally walked out of the damn mud pit.

Seeing that the carriage finally came out of the mud pit, Zhang Rui was relieved.

Suddenly he thought of the force just now, so he came to the front of the carriage and investigated it.

It turned out that Zhang Ji saw that Zhang Rui and the others were about to hold on, so he drove the two horses forward and tried hard.

When Zhang Zhong saw the carriage pushing out of the mud pit, he stepped forward and said, "Dad, it rains so heavily, get in the car!"

"Husband, come up quickly." Minglan lifted up the door curtain and looked at Zhang Rui.

"Girl Ming, I'm too wet, I still can't get up." Zhang Rui looked at her and replied.

Seeing that Zhang Rui couldn't come up, Minglan stretched out her hand and wanted to pull him up.

"Why are you disobedient? Just take your hand back and catch a cold, what should you do?"

Zhang Rui quickly put Minglan's little hand into the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, he said, "Girls, cover the bedding and we're leaving."

After saying that, Zhang Rui put the curtains on his face and shouted to Zhang Ji: "Third brother, I'm leaving."

In the carriage, Minglan and Rulan were covered with bedding, and their eyes were full of worries about Zhang Rui.

...

It was two o'clock in the morning and it was still raining, but the rain was very small.

"Dad, it seems there is a village ahead?" Zhang Zhong pointed to the rows of houses in front and said, enduring the chill.

Zhang Rui rubbed his hands and came to Zhang Zhong. Sure enough, there was a village in front of him.

Finally, I found someone to live, otherwise how could they hold on this night?

"Let's go, let's go to that village and find a place to live." Zhang Rui looked at the village in front of him, full of expectations.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Rui and his party headed to the village in front of him.

After a while, Zhang Rui and his group came to a family.

"Wang You, go and knock on the door."

Zhang Rui shouted to Wang You, who was trembling with coldness beside him.

Wang You came to the door tremblingly and reached out to knock on the wooden door in front of him.

After a few knocks, no one responded.

Wang You turned around and took a look. Seeing that Zhang Rui had no expression on his face, he could only continue to knock on his face patiently.

Perhaps hard work pays off, and the owner in the room has movement.

After a while, the wooden door opened, and it was a hunchbacked man in his sixties wearing patched clothes and holding an oil lamp.

"Old man, it rains heavily at night. Can you stay here for a night?" Wang You said respectfully with a smile.

The hunchbacked old man raised the oil lamp in his hand, took a closer look, and saw that he had a kind face, he agreed and said, "Come in!"

Then he said to his wife in the house: "Old woman, when the customer is here, clean up the house and make some food."

"Old man, please trouble you." Wang You thanked him, then came to Zhang Rui and said respectfully: "Master, okay."

"Yeah, I understand." Zhang Rui said lightly.

Zhang Rui came to the carriage, lifted up the curtain, and the two girls squeezed together and wrapped them tightly in the quilt to sleep soundly.

Looking at their appearance, Zhang Rui felt very distressed.

Fortunately, I found a family that can avoid the cold and eat some hot food.

"Girls, wake up, wake up!" I felt a little reluctant, but I still woke them up.

Rulan woke up first. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Where is this?"

"In the same village." Zhang Rui replied.

"Oh!" Rulan patted Minglan: "Xiao Liu, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly."

"Oh, it's still early? I'll sleep for a while." Minglan wrapped her quilt tightly and said half-awakened.

Seeing that she was not awake, Rulan took the bedding away from her body.

Minglan couldn't sleep even with the biting chill. She opened her eyes and said angrily: "Sister, why did you take the bedding from me?"

"Who told you to sleep in?" Rulan said with confidence.

"You..." Minglan had nothing to say.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Zhang Rui was afraid that they would fight, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Ru girl, I will get out of the car with you in my arms!"

After saying that, Zhang Rui wrapped Rulan in bedding and carried her out of the carriage.

Then he hugged her and entered the hunchbacked old man's room.

Then go out and repeat the process just now.

After finishing his work, Zhang Rui had time to observe the old man's room. It was simply described as a bare-small wall.

There is no way, the old man is too poor.

At this time, the old man walked in from outside with a pottery jar, followed by the old lady, holding two bowls in his hand.

The old man put the clay pot in front of Zhang Rui, embarrassed: "There are only a few things at home, so don't be surprised by the guests."

Zhang Rui took a look at the things in the clay pot. They were basically soup and water, with a few pieces of fish floating on it.

I think it is the only meat food in the old man.
