Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 562 561. In the Rain

"It's going to rain."

On the carriage, Li Zhen looked up at the thick dark clouds, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"You said how good it would be for me to have the ability to clear the world with a wave of my hand, make the world clear, and the breeze clear."

"..."

Du Ruhui, who was chewing a few cloves, managed to swallow the clove seeds into his trachea.

Good guy.

How dare you think about it.

Manipulating the sky?

Don't you want to be blind?
Either it's a fart.

That being the case...

"Give."

Three or four cloves were taken out from the small sachet, and Du Ruhui handed it to him.

If you don't clean your mouth when you wake up in the morning, use this clove to get rid of the impurities in your mouth.

You have the time to think wildly.

Li Zhen didn't want it.

He doesn't use this because his saliva is sweet.

Whoever tastes it knows.

No one tasted it, he knew it himself.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Du Ruhui didn't care, he just looked up at the dark and sultry weather, and said:
"You go to the back and bring Xuanying over? It's raining, don't get excited, my child."

Although he was concerned, the Taoist who was a bit lazy at the moment yawned:
"You can go or not."

"...Are you his teacher or am I his teacher?"

"It's the same. Did you teach less along the way?"

Li Zhen rolled his eyes:
"Aren't you going? Then let this disciple of mine get wet in the rain. At worst, we'll catch the wind and cold. Let's go back to Yuqian to find the old grandson."

"..."

Although he knew that the Taoist was provoking him, but when he heard that it was not a human being, the upright Prison Judge still wanted to kick him down.

But I can't bear to...

My friend, spoil yourself.

Reluctantly, he threw the reins into his hands and jumped off the carriage. Du Ruhui went against the flow of the crowd and came to the end of the line step by step.

Fu County is not rich in materials.

In other words, Wu Duan'er tossed and tossed all the supplies in Hedong and almost bottomed out.

According to the past, the rain was about to start, and the team had to repair and put on straw woven coir raincoats before continuing to set off.

Otherwise, when people walk in the rain, in this objective environment where the global climate greenhouse effect is still almost non-existent, it is really easy to catch cold and cold due to alternation of cold and heat.

But there are not so many coir raincoats in Fu County.

Didn't prepare either.

The big guy just took a few fish, some forced dry food and the like, and left.

So even if they knew it was going to rain, they had no choice but to find a suitable shelter from the rain.

These people don't even have tents.

How to avoid?
Therefore, even if Du Ruhui wanted to avoid it, it was inevitable.

He could only walk to the end of the line, and under the puzzled eyes of Xuanzang and Xuanying, he said:

"It's going to rain, Xuanying, follow me into the carriage ahead."

This child is also sensible, after hearing this, he first looked at Xuanzang:

"Second division going?"

The handsome monk smiled slightly:
"As a teacher, I won't go. The rain won't catch me as a teacher."

Daotong nodded and asked again:
"Uncle Du, what should the big guy do?"

"..."

The more Du Ruhui looked at this child, the more he liked him.

This kind of heart, this childlike compassion is really a peerless treasure for adults.

but……

Du Ruhui couldn't answer his question.

After thinking about it, I can only say:

"Let's see if we can find a place to shelter from the rain later."

"This……"

Daotong seemed to be a bit impatient, but Xuanzang had already carried him down and handed it over to Du Ruhui:
"Go."

But at the moment of speaking.

The muffled thunder billowed in the sky again.

Under the rumbling sound, Du Ruhui only felt a chill on his face.

Looking up, bean-sized raindrops poured down from the sky.

It's raining.

"gone."

He didn't want his child to be exposed to the rain, so after nodding to Xuanzang, he stepped out more than ten meters away in one step.

No matter how fast people are, it is not as fast as rain.

The rain that had been suppressed for a whole morning finally found a vent at this moment. Du Ruhui stepped two or three steps away, and the raindrops had already connected into silk threads.

The rain...it's getting heavier.

How can this be good?

What if some of these refugees are weak and get caught in the rain...

He was a little anxious.

But in the next second, a ray of golden light suddenly passed by...

Or rather, wrapped in it.

"?"

Looking forward subconsciously, I saw a steady stream of golden light bursting out from the end of the line in front, like a hollow sleeve, covering the entire line on the official road.

This golden light isolated the raindrops, and countless rainwater slapped on the head of the dim but unusually stable light, echoing with the golden light, as if coming to a dreamland, with a kind of beauty that made people feel relaxed and comfortable in the bottom of their hearts.

"Is that the teacher?"

Dao Tong who was held by Du Ruhui was full of radiance in his eyes.

Du Ruhui didn't answer, but turned to look at the end.

After confirming that Xuanzang was also wrapped up, he shouted to the commotional crowd caused by this vision:

"Don't panic, this is the kindness of the Taoist priest, so that the big guys don't get caught in the rain and cold. Everyone, just leave at ease."

Hearing this, all the officials, including those on horseback, became more at ease.

It's just that the curiosity and amazement in his eyes all fell in front of him.

Du Ruhui didn't say much, and hurried to the chariot and horses with Xuanying in his arms.

At a glance, he saw the Taoist, whose whole body was shining with golden light, holding the rein.

"How long can it last?"

After putting the little apprentice into the carriage, he asked.

Li Zhen spread five fingers.

Just when Du Ruhui thought it was five hours and found it unbelievable.

But the Taoist's middle finger suddenly bent down.

"...? Four hours?"

Li Zhen shook his head:
"Maintenance without a middle finger."

"No middle finger...what is it?"

"..."

The cold joke that was so easy to think of was ruthlessly trampled on. The Taoist rolled his eyes and shook his head:

"This golden light is nothing, it's just to keep out the rain anyway."

"It's… okay."

Lao Du didn't say much, he just explained:
"If you can't hold on, then close it in advance. I don't know what's going on along the way. You have to save some strength."

"Ah."

"Besides...the rain is so heavy, it shouldn't last long..."

"..."

Li Zhen didn't say a word, and hurried on his way while using the full version of "Wu Zhen Pian" to boost his spiritual thoughts and make up for consumption.

He also felt that Lao Du was right.

The rain is so heavy, it shouldn't last long.

It is estimated that the sky will clear up in a while.

But actually...

Du Ruhui's grandson is so poisonous.

The heavy rain didn't last long.

It's less than a cup of tea.

But it didn't stop, but turned into light rain.

It is the kind of light rain that is obviously not big, but it is sparse and never stops.

One click, two hours.

Moreover, there is no sign of dark clouds fading in the sky.

God knows how long the rain will last.

And because the sky was dim, according to later generations, it was only around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already looking dark.

You know, this is summer.

And the team will definitely not be able to light a fire for dinner tonight.

Everything outside is damp, not to mention that it is difficult to raise the fire, and the most important thing is that the speed of the team is not fast.

The official roads in the Sui Dynasty were also dirt roads, but they were made flat with stones during repairs in successive dynasties, and the soil surface was hard.

But the rain this afternoon has also softened.

Li Zhen could protect against the rain above his head, but not the mud under his feet.

Everyone walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and even the carts and horses carrying grain got stuck on the side of the road once and were pushed out by everyone.

The speed of travel is less than half of normal.

Li Zhen was fine, maintaining the golden light while cultivating, which was considered a balance of payments.

But everyone's physical strength is exhausted very quickly.

Seeing that the people in the team were exhausted, Du Ruhui looked around... and found a place where birds don't shit and chickens don't lay eggs.

My heart said I couldn't be like this anymore.

Otherwise, when it gets dark, you may not even find a place to camp.

So, he turned his head and called out to the two closest officials, and when they rode over, he ordered:

"You two, hurry up and look ahead to see if there is any place to camp, go back quickly!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhen also interjected:
"It doesn't matter if it's muddy or not, as long as the ground is flat."

The road that everyone is walking now is like a hilly slope, some low-lying, and the terrain is very low.

Water began to accumulate on both sides of the official road.

Certainly not camping.

The two officials rode away on horseback.

I thought I'd be back soon,

But when the team finally walked up the slope at a certain angle and started to go up, suddenly, Li Zhen and Du Ruhui heard a rapid sound of spoons at the same time.

and a scream:
"what!!!"

"!"

"stop!"

Instinctively, Du Ruhui issued an order to stop the march, and Li Zhen had already stopped at the front of the carriages and horses.

The team stopped advancing, and the golden light gradually gathered.

The cold raindrops fell on everyone's faces again.

We don't know why.

Subconsciously look forward.

Everything seems to work? ... Until, on the slope ahead, four shadows riding on horses appeared.

Under the dark sky, ordinary people can't see their faces clearly.

But Li Zhen and Du Ruhui could see clearly.

These four people were wearing coir raincoats and hats on their heads. Under the hats, their faces were covered by black scarves.

The only exposed pair of eyes is full of ice-cold calm.

Just looking down at the team like this.

"Old Du..."

Looking at these four people who obviously harbored malicious intentions, Li Zhen's tone was a bit cold:

"You are a little incompetent as the head of Hedong."

In Du Ruhui's silence, the Taoist said.

"Even the horse thieves are out."

"..."

Du Ruhui was speechless.

And those four people seemed to be certain of something, one of them suddenly raised his hand and waved.

Following his movements, many masked men on horses appeared around the four riders.

Each of them wears a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat with a knife hanging from his waist.

Silent, silent, but the cold killing intent has already begun to boil.

These refugees also noticed something was wrong at this time.

But it's not that panicked.

After all, no matter how these people exaggerate their innocence, they are all soldiers who have gone to battle.

just suffering from...

Master Du didn't allow them to carry weapons, they didn't have anyone in their hands.

One by one put on a look of alert.

Everything happened in silence, and after the crowded masked men had almost taken advantage of the vantage point near the official road above, one of the four leading riders drew out the knife from his waist.

"Zheng" sound.

Sen Han's sword intent merged into the world.

There is no communication.

There was no capitulation.

Nothing at all.

As he swung his saber, about [-] or [-] masked men drew out their long sabers at the same time, rode their horses, and headed towards the people on the downhill...

Kill it!
