Chapter 418 The rain is so strong
The trap was dug to catch large wild animals. It was large and deep. Ye Xiaoman raised her hand and stood on tiptoe, but she could not touch Zhu Chuideng's outstretched hand.
Zhu Chuideng said, "I'll pull my aunt up."
The Taotie beast may turn back, the situation is critical and no time is lost.
Zhu Chuideng immediately went to the nearby area to find some spring root vines. The old branches of this vine are very tough and difficult to cut with a knife. Farmers usually use them as ropes.
His left arm was injured and he could only rely on his right arm.
First, tie the other end of the vine to the nearest big tree and throw the other end into the pit.
He held the vine rope with one hand and instructed Ye Xiaoman to hold the rope with both hands like rock climbing and step on the hole on the wall of the pit with both feet. He wrapped the vine rope around his wrist in circles and used brute force to pull Ye Xiaoman out of the pit.
During the whole process, Ye Xiaoman only needs to put in a little effort and keep her body still. The main person who contributed the effort is Zhu Chuideng.
He had to overcome gravity and bear Ye Xiaoman's weight with one arm.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie. Leave it to me." He comforted her from above.
Whether it's his sense of responsibility to take care of others even when in danger, or his ability to quickly calm down after encountering a monster, he has an aura that's convincing and makes people do what he says.
In short, it refers to the power of a mature and steady brother.
Ye Xiaoman was concerned about delaying Zhu Chuideng and creating a good space for Jing Zhui to move, so she procrastinated and delayed time.
Sometimes her limbs were not coordinated and she slid down as soon as her shoes touched the wall of the pit; sometimes she went on strike because the rope was too rough on her hands; sometimes she said that the semi-suspended posture made her tired and she wanted to rest for a while before climbing again.
Zhu Chuideng was very patient, and kept trying to explain her frail body to her, and even found some grass leaves as soft as silk for her to cushion her hands.
Ye Xiaoman tried for a long time but she had no tricks left. Seeing that it was getting dark and she had to stay overnight on the mountain, she obediently grabbed the rope and let Zhu Chuideng pull her out of the pit.
Her feet lifted off the ground inch by inch, and Zhuchuideng shortened the rope above them.
As he exerted force, the already obvious blue veins on the back of his hands became more prominent, his muscles became tense, and sweat flowed from his neck into his chest, the lines of which were clearly visible.
Ye Xiaoman secretly admired Zhu Chuideng's natural strength. The young man had strong arms. If he could have left the mountain village back then, he might have become a powerful general.
He finally brought Ye Xiaoman close to him, his eyes filled with joy, "Auntie, hold me."
He suddenly pulled the rope upwards, and Ye Xiaoman did as he said, following the upward force and hugged his neck.
My heart hit my chest.
Zhu Chuideng felt as if a soft cotton ball suddenly flew into his arms.
No, not cotton. Cotton does not have a light, slightly sweet aroma, nor does cotton feel warm to the touch.
Cotton would not cause his mind to flutter suddenly.
According to the original plan, Zhu Chuideng should have quickly and nimbly hugged Ye Xiaoman's waist and brought her to the ground, but in the moment when his pupils dilated and he was distracted, his aunt seemed shy and let go of her hand.
He didn't have time to catch her, and the vines on his wrists scattered. With a scream, his aunt fell down.
He was dragged down by her downward force and almost fell with her. Fortunately, the rope around his waist held him. He suddenly came to his senses and grabbed the vine rope again. His aunt was swinging in the pit holding the rope, and she jumped back to the bottom of the pit.
All efforts failed at the last moment.
Zhu Chuideng made sure that Ye Xiaoman was not injured, and fell back to the ground exhausted. His chest was breathing unevenly. He raised his hand to look at his palm, and then inexplicably touched the neck that Ye Xiaoman had just hugged.
The face feels hot.
I felt ashamed of my reaction.
Even though his aunt is pretty, kind, gentle and considerate, and of similar age to him, making her the type that is easy to like, and he happens to be at the age when mistakes are most likely to happen, he shouldn't be distracted even for a second.
Zhu Chuideng's face felt cold.
A drop of rain fell on his face.
It's going to rain.
Blow out the lamp and return to the spirit,
He then crouched over the edge of the pit and looked at Ye Xiaoman below. She stood alone in the pit, like a trapped fairy, looking helpless. She looked at him and said, "It's dark now. It's not safe to walk at night. Let's spend the night here."
Zhu Chuideng was exhausted after all the trouble and temporarily lost the strength to pull Ye Xiaoman up, so he agreed.
The raindrops fell on her face, looking like tears.
The raindrops are getting heavier.
Zhu Chuideng grabbed the hem of his coat and put it over her head to shield her from the rain. He dispelled the uneasiness and said, "It's my fault that I have caused trouble for my aunt."
Ye Xiaoman tried hard to keep her eyes straight. Zhu Chuideng stretched open his clothes. From her angle, standing below and looking up, she could just see his abdominal muscles.
His abdominal muscles are large and powerful, with deep lines. Every line contains a sense of power. At first glance, he has endless energy. Any rich lady who knows the value of things will praise him as a potential stock of perpetual motion machine.
Dark-skinned sports student.
Wild version.
Three generations of our family have been using it, and everyone who has used it praises it.
Ye Xiaoman babbled incoherently, "This rain is so strong. We're all family, so let's not talk about getting involved or not."
Just based on your abdominal muscles, Sister Man will forgive you a thousand times.
Zhu Chuideng nodded, then he put down his clothes.
Ye Xiaoman: “?”
Please tell me which sentence she said was wrong.
She can change, brother.
Zhu Chuideng took off the straw hat from behind his neck, and in a moment, the straw hat fell on her head.
Zhu Chuideng walked away.
Based on his experience, he judged that the rain would not be too heavy to leave water at the bottom of the pit, so he quickly went to find some broad leaves that could block the rain and covered the pit mouth to keep out the rain.
Then, he pulled the vine rope and jumped into the pit to accompany Ye Xiaoman.
The rain pattered against the roof.
It was completely dark.
It is chilly in spring and the temperature on the top of the mountain is even lower.
Zhu Chuideng took out the flint he carried with him, and after some attempts, he finally lit a small fire.
He was in a low mood. There were monsters lurking outside, and he didn't know whether the scattered villagers were dead or alive. He didn't know whether he could escape and return to the village alive tomorrow. He spoke much less.
Ye Xiaoman warmed her hands over the fire: "We are warming ourselves by the fire at the bottom of the cave. Will the smoke cause poisoning?"
"No." Zhu Chuideng pointed to the gap he had left above. After clever design, he dug a hole where the rainwater would fall, and raised the ground where they would live.
Ye Xiaoman: "Will the accumulated water flood up?"
"No," Zhu Chuideng said firmly, "The soil here is different from other places. The accumulated water will be diverted to the bottom."
Ye Xiaoman immediately followed up with a smile, "That's amazing! You know so much."
Zhu Chuideng was looked at by Ye Xiaoman with sparkling eyes. It was just some common sense of survival in the wild, which was understood by the country people. She praised him sincerely, as if it was a great thing. He was a little proud, but also a little shy.
