After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 156 Chapter 147

Before Mei Sanniang could take a few steps, her foot slipped and her buttocks landed on the ground, causing her to scream in pain, because Mei Xue was holding Mei Sanniang, and she also fell to the ground, with a small hole in her arm, and she was bleeding continuously. Bleeding.

However, Mei Xue didn't cry, but covered her wound with her hands, because she knew that she couldn't cry now.

She cared about her mother for the first time, and also checked to see if her mother was injured. After looking around, she was relieved to find that her mother only had some torn clothes and no wounds.

He Yu and Xu Erzhu, who were walking in the front, also heard the loud noise of slipping and falling. Looking back quickly, they saw Sanniang lying on the ground, and Mei Xue got up from the ground.

"Mother, don't cry, mother, you taught me before that if you fall down, you have to get up by yourself, and you can't cry."

Mei Sanniang seemed to understand what Mei Xue said, she sobbed, and then stared at the young girl with wide eyes.

Touching the girl's cheeks with both hands, Mei Xue's uncontrollable tears flowed out.

"Mother."

Mei Xue called softly, and then He Yu ran over to check whether Mei Sanniang was injured. Fortunately, she just fell slightly and was not serious.

"Xue'er is fine, your mother was not injured, she just fell her butt slightly."

When Xu Erzhu heard that Mei Sanniang had fallen violently, his whole heart was about to lift.

Although there is an unfounded saying, the general content is to fight poison with poison, and if you fall more, the symptoms of madness before may disappear.

But this kind of miracle is rare, let alone Mei Sanniang.

So he was worried that Mei Sanniang's fall this time stimulated her brain nerves even more, causing her to become more and more insane, and even worse.

"Xiaoyu, is Sanniang alright?"

Xu Erzhu almost fell down in a hurry, but fortunately he managed to avoid scattering mushrooms all over the ground.

Xu Erzhu hurriedly checked Mei Sanniang's situation, for fear that something might go wrong.

No one would believe that Xu Erzhu didn't like Mei Sanniang. No matter how she looked at it, she liked Sanniang very much, and she thought about Sanniang's family all the time.

Xu Erzhu should have arrived at the auspicious day of marrying a daughter-in-law long ago, but, Xu Erzhu fell in love with Mei Sanniang, who had an unknown origin. Mei Sanniang brought a girl and married someone else. Passing by himself, he could only sigh slightly.

It is said that the most magnanimous person is to dedicate himself and help others. Since he can't get Mei Sanniang, he can bless her and wish her to find her right husband, full of children and grandchildren, and grow old together.

But God's will tricks people, Mei Sanniang's journey has been too bumpy.

After Xu Erzhu checked, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look at the weather and the rainstorm is coming soon! We have to find a place to hide from the rain, rushing now will only be counterproductive, I don't want Sanniang to fall again."

Xu Erzhu looked at He Yu firmly, hoping to agree with him.

In fact, Mei Xue also felt that she should find a place to hide from the rain, because she was also afraid that her mother would fall again, and what Uncle Er Zhu said was right.

"Let's find a place where we can hide from the rain. Can we go down again when the rain stops? If there is a heavy rain on the way down the mountain, mother will catch a cold! Xue'er doesn't want anything to happen to mother! Uncle Yu, is that okay? "

He Yu couldn't see the little girl pleading for mercy the most, coupled with those pitiful big eyes, it made He Yu upset and at a loss, and finally compromised.

"Okay, it's estimated that there will be heavy rain halfway down the mountain now! Find a better terrain first, and let's build a shed before the heavy rain comes, as our temporary shelter."

He Yu was the most experienced. He led Xu Erzhu and his party, preparing to go down the mountain.

"First find a place with a water source and build a shelter."

"Follow me."

Xu Erzhu didn't understand these things, and Mei Xue didn't understand even more, so he could only follow along dubiously.

The mountain here is steep. He Yu found a fallen bird's nest on the rock wall.

He picked some dry Osmanthus from the grass and put them in his pocket.

"You also collect more!" He Yu reminded.

Immediately afterwards, he asked everyone, "If you see dry tree velvet, take it with you."

Mei Xue couldn't understand Uncle Yu, so she could only follow behind him silently. She didn't understand what Uncle Yu was doing, it was going to rain soon, and he was still picking up some useless things.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, He Yu finally heard the sound of water.

It is a small stream, and the water flowing down from the mountain is exceptionally clear. After taking a big sip, there is a slight sweetness in the mouth.

Hurrying on the way, He Yu was already so thirsty, she rushed forward without saying a word, bent down to drink water.

Even though the water is clean and sweet, there are dangers in mountain streams, because where there is water, there are deadly things.

Fortunately, there is no danger near the water source where they are now.

He Yu looked around and there were several tall trees, so he said, "Let's build a shelter here! There is water here!"

Xu Erzhu nodded. He Yu had his own reasons for doing so, and Xu Erzhu felt that building a temporary shelter here was a good choice.

"Brother Er Zhu, please cut some canes!"

He Yu conjured a small knife from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Erzhu, who was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Xiao Yu, when did you bring a knife with you?"

"I'm afraid that there will be thorns under my feet after I go up the mountain, so I prepared a handful, Brother Er Zhu, and I will leave the cutting of vines to you."

"Don't worry, no problem, I'll cut it right away!"

"By the way, besides cutting some vines, remember to pick some wild banana leaves or palm leaves."

"Uncle Yu, what can Xue'er do?"

After He Yu arranged Xu Erzhu's work, Mei Xue volunteered, hoping to help everyone, but how could He Yu dare Xue Er and Mei Sanniang to run around? This mountain is no better than the village. , can still find.

Mei Sanniang lost her way in the mountains and ran around. There is only one ending, and that is a dead end.

"Xue'er, help me deliver things and take care of Mei Sanniang!"

"okay."

He Yu was afraid that Xue'er would feel guilty, so she added an extra task.

After the arrangements were made, He Yu looked around again. He had to observe the surroundings at all times, because danger was everywhere. He walked towards two natural giant trees, and it probably took several people to hug them.

He carefully observed the tree trunk, if a poisonous snake appeared, his life would be over.

Fortunately, everything was going well. He tried his best to climb up the tree trunk, found a recess and lay motionless on the tree trunk.

The location is good, the distance is good, but it's a pity that the only tools now can't make good use of these two big trees.

He Yu thought about it, and a sharp short knife appeared in his hand. He picked up the short knife and cut a few grooves on the tree. Now he is waiting for the rattan that Xu Erzhu cut.

He Yu jumped down from the tree, scraped the bark with a knife, and the bark fell to the ground, and then he began to collect dry wood.

After he finished his busy work, Xu Erzhu also dragged a lot of banana leaves and carried a large bundle of rattan on his back.

Xu Erzhu waved happily, "Xiao Yu."

Mei Xue looked up and saw that Uncle Er Zhu had returned!The little guy ran over quickly and helped to remove the vines that were pressing on Erzhu's body. At this moment, Mei Xue found that there was a scratch on Uncle Erzhu's back, and she screamed in fright.

"Uncle Yu, Uncle Erzhu is injured."

He Yu dropped the wood and ran to Xu Erzhu's side. He wanted to see Xu Erzhu's back, but he stopped him, "It's okay, it's just a small injury. It's important to build a shelter as soon as possible."

He Yu is not as strong as Xu Erzhu, every time he wants to see, Xu Erzhu blocks him.

"It's really okay, hurry up and make a shelter! It's going to rain."

He Yu was still worried, and Mei Xue beside him was also very worried about Uncle Er Zhu, "Uncle, please show Uncle Yu."

Seeing He Yu's stubbornness, Xu Erzhu had no choice but to bend over and show He Yu that the wound was caused by accidentally scratching while collecting vines.

He Yu thought that Xu Erzhu had encountered some kind of poisonous snake and was bitten, but when he saw it, it was just like what he said, it was just a skin trauma.

"Xue'er, your Uncle Erzhu is fine, it was just cut by a vine."

"I've said it all, it's okay, look, it took a lot of time, if we don't make a shelter before the rainstorm comes, we will all be drowned."

"I thought you were bitten by something. If so, you must take emergency measures and send it to the hospital."

After hearing this, Xu Erzhu laughed loudly, "I'm not that delicate, don't worry, my body is strong."

"That's good!"

He Yu took the vines and banana leaves collected by Xu Erzhu. He tied the vines around the grooves, and then weaved a hammock between the two trees. After a while, a simple hammock structure was ready. up.

For the sturdiness of the hammock, he also interspersed a lot of bark, and then laid some banana leaves, followed by the cover of the shelter. He picked up three thinner wooden strips, set up the frame, and put the rattan One by one was wrapped around it, and then a layer of leaves was laid on the rattan. In order to prevent rain leakage, He Yu also specially made a second layer of protection and strengthened the layer, and then he hung the cover on the two trees. between.

"Uncle Yu, can this support us?" Mei Xue pointed to the hammock and questioned.

In the past, when Xu Erzhu encountered heavy rain, he always found a rock and hid under the crevice of the rock, but there are too many people here, and it is not realistic to go under the crevice of the rock, so he is very optimistic about the hammock made by He Yu.

"Xue'er, don't worry, the hammock made by Uncle Yu is very strong, I'll try it for you."

Xu Erzhu was the heaviest person here. When he lifted his buttocks and sat up, the hammock shook and shook without any sign of breaking.

Xu Erzhu sat on it and said triumphantly, "Look, it's quite strong."

Mei Xue saw that it looked really strong, and she climbed up. The rickety hammock made Mei Xue a little scared, but after getting used to it, she suddenly felt that the hammock was really comfortable to sleep on, softer than the wooden boards at home.

After doing all of this, He Yu also wanted to make a hammock, because this hammock couldn't bear the weight of two big men and a woman, and He Yu was afraid that it would collapse halfway through sleeping, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Just as He Yu got up to pick up the sticks, a thunderclap crossed the sky, and the three of them were all in a daze. Mei Sanniang was trembling with fear because of the thunder, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth.

"Mother, don't be afraid." Mei Xue covered her mother's ears, hoping that the thunder would be quieter so that she would not be frightened.

"Little bunny, open the door..."

Mei Xue sang nursery rhymes softly on the hammock. After Mei Sanniang heard it, her mood eased a lot, she was no longer afraid, and just looked at Mei Xue.

Seeing that Mei Sanniang was fine, He Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Lightning slid across the sky, He Yu looked outside and said, "It's going to rain."

The sound of thunder resounded through the sky, and in the next second, it rained heavily with flashes of light. He Yu hurriedly moved the dry firewood on the ground to the shelter.

"Looking at it like this, it probably won't be long." He Yu couldn't help sighing.

But there was only a hammock in front of them, He Yu glanced at the people in the shelter, there was no way, there was only one bed, and it couldn't bear the strength of everyone.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the rainwater will flow down the rocks on the mountain. Because of the terrain, if He Yu doesn't get on the hammock, the rainwater will soak through his shoes.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making He Yudi tremble.

Ahhh—

At the same time, Mei Xue also let out a sneeze, shrugged her shoulders, and hugged herself with her arms, hoping that the temperature loss from her body would be less.

Not only Mei Xue was like this, but Mei Sanniang also had a strong reaction. Because of the poverty of her family, Mei Sanniang wore the same clothes every day, and sometimes Mei Xue would change clothes for her mother herself. Struggling to stop, Mei Xue could only ask other aunts to help.

Mei Sanniang was so dirty that many villagers were unwilling to approach her, which made it difficult for Mei Sanniang to change her clothes. Well, if there are too many times, no one wants to go.

The man wanted to help, how could Mei Xue be willing, she could only refuse, back and forth, she had to change her mother's clothes by herself, although it was a bit troublesome and time-consuming.

The clothes on Mei Sanniang's body were so thin that they were drenched in the rain, so she kept trembling.

Mei Xue gently hugged her mother, covered her big hand with her own little hand, and even gave her some blows, hoping that her mother would be warm and feel better.

There is no way to go on like this, and we have to wait for a few hours to wait for the rain.

Because the rainstorm came so suddenly, He Yu didn't have time to make a windscreen. Seeing Mei Sanniang's cold appearance, he thought about it and decided to make a windscreen right away.

He picked up leaves and vines that were not yet wet, and made a simple coir raincoat for himself.

In the rain, he put the leaves on the windward side of the shelter, which will help reduce the wind and keep the shelter warm.

"Is it better?"

Mei Xue gave a hesitant "hmm".

Xu Erzhu felt pretty good, sitting on the hammock was pretty good.

In this way, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain did not stop. At this time, He Yu found that the tree trunk he was lying on was only a little wet, that is to say, the dense leaves blocked a large part of the rain.

"Brother Er Zhu, I'm going to sleep on it!" He Yu pointed to the tree.

"Ah? Xiaoyu, won't you come in?"

"No, I'll go outside to watch the wind."

He Yu climbed onto the tree pole alone, stepped on the groove and curled up among the leaves, and put the extra banana leaves on his body.

Although it was a bit cold, it was still manageable.

He Yu looked at the shelter she had built, although it was a bit crude, it was passable, and she could see it.
