salt by salt

The lunch is all distributed by the program group, and I don't mind having an extra portion.

Because I'm new here and I'm completely unfamiliar with other people, Dong Xiaoqian specially took it back to eat.In addition, she also spent money to make the grandmother of this family stew pork ribs for Song Cheng to heal his injuries.

She has a carefree appearance, although she can't take care of everything, but I still think it's very rare to have such care at this age.

Song Cheng had only had soup in the morning, and the host's family ate early, so we were the only two sitting opposite each other to eat.The climate in summer is changeable, the weather is sunny when it comes, but it becomes gloomy and hot after one o'clock, and the old electric fan in the main room brings a little bit of coolness that is better than nothing.

I got up too early today, and I was overwhelmed by heavy tiredness after sloppy eating.

Dong Xiaoqian saw that I was tired and advised me to take a nap.I didn't intend to refuse, and lay down on the bed in the room after a simple wash, and couldn't help but think about what Song Cheng said, and fell asleep without much tossing and turning.

A loud thunder woke me up from my dream.

I sat up and found that the room was dark, with the sound of rain outside the window, and the air was full of moisture.

Turning on the phone, it was past four in the afternoon. I forgot to charge it before going to bed, and only [-]% of the battery was left.

Originally, I used two with me, but before I left, in order to facilitate Andre’s contact and cooperation, I left the one that handles company affairs with him.I got up to charge my phone and put it on the bed, when I heard someone talking outside.

Pushing open the door, a man in a plastic raincoat handed a bulging plastic bag to Dong Xiaoqian, with an umbrella in the other hand, dripping water.

The slightly sunken place in the yard was already full of stagnant water, which was washed by violent raindrops into a turbid stream of water, which flowed straight down the slope.I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy, I stood there in a daze for a while, and she patted me on the shoulder: "Brother Jun Yan."

"Ok?"

"Brother Zhang asked someone to bring us an umbrella and a raincoat." Dong Xiaoqian raised the bag in her hand, "But we don't need to go out. Tonight I'll make fried eggs and noodles for you. You're tired of the set meal."

I nodded, she looked up at the dark and heavy clouds, and complained softly: "The weather forecast is really unreliable, it clearly said there was no rain yesterday."

I checked it before going to bed, so I remember it clearly.But looking at her unhappy face, she still smiled and said in relief: "The weather forecast says that there will be no rain in the county town. It is several hours' drive from here to there, so of course it is different."

"We can play cards at night." Dong Xiaoqian was cheerful after all, and quickly became interested, "I'll ask Grandma where the cards are."

After dinner, she really got two decks of cards, so I moved the table to Song Cheng's room to play.

Song Cheng's character is humble in front of outsiders. I think it's just that the game doesn't have to be serious, and I deliberately let Dong Xiaoqian win.I didn't expect her poker skills to be really bad, and her luck was even worse, and Song Cheng and I teamed up to play water and she didn't win a round.

She loses every time, so she is responsible for shuffling and dealing the cards.After playing a few times, I decided to take turns, and I took over the job resignedly.

Inadvertently raised my head and looked at Song Cheng, the rain outside was noisy, looking into his smiling eyes, my originally chaotic mood calmed down.

"Let me hand it out." He took the shuffled cards from my hand, and wiped the back of my hand with callused fingertips, leaving a tingling sensation, "Xiaoqian, don't bully Junyan."

She didn't notice the subtle difference in the name, so she pouted and said, "Brother Song, you are biased, why didn't you help when Brother Junyan asked me to deal the cards?"

"It's an opportunity for you to practice your skills." Song Cheng was more proficient than me and Dong Xiaoqian, but he said with a gentle face, "We'll talk about it when you win against him."

After playing too many games, I get bored, and it's almost nine o'clock in the evening. I don't want to affect Song Cheng's rest, so I suggest stopping here.

Dong Xiaoqian packed up her things and went out, I sent the table back to the main room and put back the things that were originally placed on it.She sat beside her and flipped through her phone, and suddenly said ah.

"how?"

"They said that Ye Jiajie was stuck on the road!" She was full of surprise, and showed me the news interface, "The teaser was originally scheduled to be filmed on Saturday, but it seemed that it came earlier because of a conflict with her schedule that day... but I ran into someone on the way. It was raining heavily, the car broke down on the road, and everyone in our team was asked to help."

"now go?"

I looked outside, and after so long, the rain still showed no sign of decreasing.As time passed, the already gloomy sky became pitch black.

"Yes, we are going to gather at the village head." She said with a bitter face, "How could this happen!"

I frowned and said, "You're not a member of the team, let alone a girl who can help, it's useless to go. It's still raining heavily outside, it's too dangerous, don't go."

"No, they have already taken care of us a lot after Brother Song was injured, and I'm not a big shot, so if I don't go, I will offend people." Although she was full of reluctance, she was already putting on a raincoat, "Besides, I shouldn't be allowed to go Push the cart, just go for a ride."

A flash of lightning struck, and the sky and the earth turned pale for an instant. The village was backed by the mountain, and the tree branches swaying in the strong wind looked very terrifying.

A look of fear inevitably appeared on Dong Xiaoqian's face, and she forced a smile and said, "Brother Jun Yan, go to bed early, if Brother Song asks, just say I'm asleep."

"you come back!"

I snatched the umbrella from her hand, reached out for another raincoat and put it on, and said without refusal: "I'll go there for you, just say you're uncomfortable. Anyway, I'm a stranger, and they can't ask me to do anything. Or I am a man, how can I let you, a little girl, go out at this time?"

"Brother Junyan..."

She hesitated to let go, and I took out the flashlight and held it in my hand: "That's it, you tell me the way."

"There is only one main road, go along it, it's the one with a very bright light at the door." Dong Xiaoqian bit her lips tightly, "How about I come with you..."

"It's raining so hard, you'll catch a cold easily if you get wet. I can't stay here for a few days, if you fall ill, who will take care of Song Cheng." I said helplessly, stroking her hair, "It's okay, I'll go quickly reply ASAP."

I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy.

It is easy to be a hero, but it is not so easy to walk against the wind on the muddy village road.

The umbrella is useless in this wind, so I simply put it away and move forward bravely.The flashlight is bright enough, but it can only illuminate the rain curtain a few meters ahead in the dark night.Fortunately, there is no fork in the road, so you don't have to worry about finding directions.

His skin was icy cold from the rain, and his hair and clothes were all soaked. You don't need to think about how embarrassing this look is.

When I finally arrived at the gathering place Dong Xiaoqian mentioned, my hand holding the flashlight was trembling, so I rushed under the eaves to wipe off the water all over my face.I put my glasses in my pocket a long time ago, and they will only block my vision in this weather.

Fewer people came than I expected, and none of the young people I met today showed up.A few villagers were sitting in the house smoking, and Brother Zhang angrily scolded a boy who seemed to be an assistant:

"...Don't come?! Can't make a phone call? You take a few people to their house to call for someone! Everyone is afraid of trouble, what kind of big thing did they do?! Damn, all the hard work is done by the logistics!"

The other party murmured, "It's raining too much, and some people have poor signal, so they can't get through even if they call."

After he said this, I suddenly remembered——Oh, I didn’t bring out my mobile phone, and it was still charging by the bedside!

He made a phone call in front of everyone, perhaps because he saw that the signal was really bad, Brother Zhang's anger subsided a little: "Forget it, it's important to save people first. The elder brother in the village will lead the way, and you guys will go with me. The woman stays here and will inform the others later."

He turned his head to see me, and said in a daze, "Hey, aren't you Xiao Song's friend?"

"It's me." The wet clothes felt uncomfortable on my body, so I smiled, "Xiaoqian is not feeling well, I'll help her."

"Oh, you are very enthusiastic. Xiao Song lives far away from here, and it is not easy to come here." His tone improved a lot, and after thinking about it, he said, "I shouldn't bother you, but there are not enough people now, you see ..."

There was no room for discussion in his tone, and I sighed in my heart: "I'm with you."

"Oh, Xiao Song is a nice person, and his friends are really loyal." He patted me on the shoulder, turned his head and said angrily, "Hurry up, and you will be responsible if you procrastinate any problems!"

It was raining heavily, a few elder brothers from the village led the way, Brother Yang walked in front, and I and a few others set foot on the mountain road out of the village.

When this road came in, I passed by in a car, and I only felt that it was a bit bumpy and difficult to walk. I didn't expect it to be so strenuous to walk.Only the part of the village that enters the village is paved with cement, and the rest is the original dirt road. After the rain, it is muddy and slippery, and there are many hidden pits. No wonder Ye Jiajie's car got stuck halfway.

"Brother Zhang is also making a big fuss." The young man who walked with me at the end of the line whispered, "There is everything in the nanny's car, and the conditions are so good. Don't just spend a night in the rain, you can stay for a few days. Just to please She has to call us out to suffer at night."

In fact, he didn't need to lower his voice at all, because the rain was too loud.I got closer to hear the general idea. I thought it was true, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's for safety reasons. It's still very scary to be trapped on the mountain road at night."

"I'll forget about it, this job." He said, "Brother, you are the unlucky one who was called here for no reason."

I persuaded: "Forget it, I'm here to help after all. Think about the good, what if you fell in love with a big star at first sight?"

"Hey, I'm afraid they won't even get off the bus."

Another muffled thunder came from the sky, the wind seemed to be getting stronger, and the rain hit his face with a dull pain.The light of a few flashlights can only illuminate a few steps ahead, and can't even penetrate the shallowest night.

I lowered my head and tightened my raincoat, and quickened my pace.
