When they rushed to the tent, Lao Hei wanted to stop them, but when he saw the large group of spiders behind them, he hesitated for a moment and finally stepped aside to let the two strange women who had appeared on the mountain enter the tent.
"Quick, stop looking and get inside! Zip up the tent, this tent should keep the spiders away."
After Yue Jiu Nian and his companion went into the tent, Lao Wu quickly instructed his other companions, who were also stunned by the sight of the spiders, "Hurry up! If you don't go in now, the spiders will eat you all!"
After saying this, Old Wu immediately turned around and zipped up the tent, then used his body to block the tent's exit, preparing to fend off the swarm of spiders.
Sure enough, a second later, the spider 'army' marched over the tent with a 'swish swish swish' sound.
Because there were so many spiders, and their route remained unchanged—they just kept going in a straight line without turning or stopping—they quickly collapsed the tent. Fortunately, Lao Hei and Lao Wu had already blocked the tent's exit, so as long as the zipper wasn't open, even if the tent collapsed, no spiders would crawl in.
Of course, the spiders were like they were fleeing for their lives or making a large-scale relocation. No spider stopped moving forward or stopped to attack the tents. So the people inside the tents just lay on the ground, guarding the exit, and were trampled on by a swarm of spiders as they 'passed by'.
A few minutes later, the spiders had almost all left. Yue Jiu Nian could no longer feel any spiders passing by her, so she secretly squeezed Yue Jiu Zai's hand.
When Yue Jiuzhai was pinched like that by Yue Jiunian, he instantly understood her meaning. So he forced out a few tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go, let's go?"
Yue Jiu Nian instantly joined in the act, slowly changing from lying on the ground to sitting on it, with a look of relief, her eyes red, and said, "There's no sound anymore, they must be gone, right?"
As she said this, she turned to look at Lao Hei, because it was Lao Hei who had let them into the tent, so she gave Lao Hei a look that was both frightened and grateful.
At this point, the sounds of spiders had indeed ceased, leaving only the sound of heavy rain. Old Wu pressed his ear against the tent and listened for a moment, concluding that there was no danger outside. He then unzipped the tent and opened the exit. Sure enough, there was nothing outside except for a mess of wet trees and firewood scattered on the ground.
The firewood they used to cook their meals had long been washed away by the rain, and then they encountered a swarm of spiders, so now the firewood was all in a mess.
"Alright, everyone come out now, everything's fine."
After checking the surroundings and finding no danger, Lao Wu called out to the other tents that had also collapsed. Everyone inside the tents came out and discussed what had just happened.
"Oh dear, that was terrifying! Luckily we hid quickly, or those spiders would have eaten us."
"Yeah, but those spiders were terrifying! How could there be so many? And they were so huge! It was absolutely frightening!"
Everyone dodged in time, so no one was hurt. They were all discussing the spider, but some were questioning the stranger who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey you two women, what's going on? Did you attract those spiders?"
"Yeah, Blackie, what's wrong with those two women...?"
After hearing his companions' words, Lao Hei looked at Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai with a serious expression and said, "Who are you people? Why are you here? What's going on with those spiders?"
Old Wu was also very wary of the two strangers who had suddenly appeared. He pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Yue Jiu Nian and the other person, saying, "Who are you people, showing up here so late at night?!"
Yue Jiu felt a little wronged after overhearing their discussion. They suspected that she had deliberately brought the spiders there, but she really hadn't done anything like that. They were clearly victims too!
Yue Jiu's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She said in a pitiful voice, "I...we're not bad people. Those spiders had nothing to do with us. We just got lost on the mountain and couldn't get down, so we were stuck there until it started raining, and that's when we encountered those spiders..."
Old Wu didn't seem to trust them much. He was holding up a dagger, about to say something, but Old Hei stopped him. He pulled Old Wu aside and whispered a few words to him. Then the two reached an agreement and came back.
Old Hei looked at Yue Jiu Nian and said, "In that case, you should stay with us for now. It's not safe for girls to be on the mountain at night. I trust you."
