The muffled thunder on the horizon slowly moved towards the Qinling Mountains, and when the fork-shaped lightning pierced the sky, the long-awaited heavy rain finally poured down.

The huge flash above the head will be a snow-white print on the heavens and the earth from time to time, and the thunder that seems to hit the heart of a person is even more shocking!

I don't know how long I slept, Xiao Han was startled by a thunderclap, looked at the few people who were still sleeping in the tent, yawned, put on his clothes and got up and opened the door of the tent.

The mountains outside were swarthy, like a giant beast in the wilderness. With the light of a bolt of lightning, Xiao Han saw that Ren Qing was sitting under a tree in a robe, and beside him, there were rice seeds, which were all covered with rain cloths.

Ren Qing was very vigilant, even in this weather, he still looked over when Xiao Han lifted the tent! After seeing that it was Xiao Han, his sharp eyes gradually turned to normal.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Xiao Han put on a hat, ran to Ren Qing's side barefoot in the rain, and shouted at him: "Brother Ren, the rain is terrible, you can also go in and rest!" ”

"It's okay, this little rain is nothing!" Ren Qing shook his head slowly. At the beginning, the trip to southern Xinjiang was more difficult than this, I don't know how much! After passing through that line, Ren Qing thought that there was nothing in this world that could make him fear.

The rain is very heavy, and when the thunder stops, you can hear the sound of the waves in the distance! Fortunately, the terrain where Xiao Han is located is relatively gentle, otherwise there is a danger of landslides and debris flows.

Ren Qing refused to rest, and Xiao Han couldn't sleep at this time because of the thunder. Looking at the swarthy surroundings, he simply squatted next to Ren Qing.

"What are you doing? You don't have to keep vigil, go to sleep! We're on our way tomorrow! Ren Qing glanced at Xiao Han unhappily and scolded in a low voice.

"Can't sleep...... Xiao Han yawned, but was almost poured into his mouth by the rain, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother Ren, we'll be here in a few days!" ”

"There should be six more days, but the next road will be easier, the beginning and the end of this road are difficult, and the middle is easier."

"Oh......" Xiao Han nodded, and then suddenly said to Ren Qing: "I'm sorry......"

Ren Qing glanced at Xiao Han, and said with the same expression: "What's wrong?" Why do you suddenly say such a thing? ”

Xiao Han squatted on the ground, looked at the heavy rain outside with his face up, and said in a low mood: "They told me, there are more than ten of you, and only five ...... have returned."

"For this? So you've been sullen for the past two days? Ren Qing looked at Xiao Han, and the usual frost on his face melted a little.

Xiao Han nodded silently and did not speak again.

Ren Qing took his gaze back from Xiao Han and calmly looked at the dark distance. It seemed to say to Xiao Han, and it seemed to say to himself: "We never blame you, really!" Even if the brothers didn't hold out to the last place, they still didn't complain! And, thanks to them, we brought back the rice seeds. ”

Xiao Han picked up a stone and threw it into the rain, and then didn't say until he couldn't see the stone clearly: "But, they still can't come back!" ”

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Han didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, Ren Qing suddenly stood up! He yelled at himself with angry eyes: "Their bodies can't come back!" But their souls are always with us! Xiao Hou, what you have to do now is to do everything you can to grow rice well! so that they do not lose their lives in vain, and not complain here!! ”

Xiao Han was stunned by Ren Qing's sudden hideous appearance, and it could be seen that Ren Qing was really angry! It's hard to imagine that this perennial expressionless person is so terrifying when he gets angry.

Waving his hand, Xiao Han stammered and said, "Brother Ren, don't be angry...... Don't worry, I'll do it! When the time comes, I will set up a monument in the field to engrave words, and I will never let my brothers go silent! ”

Looking at the panicked Xiao Han, Ren Qing suddenly came back to his senses and sat down weakly. I don't know if Xiao Han is wrong, I always feel that the corners of Ren Qing's eyes are a little shining.

Silence, there seems to be only the sound of wind and rain in the whole heaven and earth.

After a while, the rain seemed to subside, and the thunder and lightning seemed to change the battlefield and began to move away. Xiao Han looked at the lightning in the distance, trying to break the oppressive atmosphere around him.

"Brother Ren, you've been to Linyi, how are you going?"

"It's okay, just a little hotter." Ren Qing said in a low voice.

"Where are the people? I've heard that the fruit there is very big and plentiful! Isn't it a pleasure to live there? ”

"Happiness?" Ren Qing frowned, and then said with relief: "Maybe, if you live without heart and lungs, it is also called happiness." ”

"What's heartless?" Xiao Han asked strangely.

Ren Qing thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Hou, it's not suitable for us to live!" Wherever everything is easy, you don't have to worry about food when you are born, because food is everywhere! In my opinion, this is a blessing and a misfortune! ”

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

"They are lucky because they can get food effortlessly. And unfortunately, they all lost momentum in further! We Han people are born to fight with the sky and the earth! So when we grow up, we are all iron-clad men! And they ......"

As he spoke, Ren Qing shook his head, as if recalling the scene he saw at the beginning, and said slowly: "Xiao Hou, can you imagine that a few of us captured dozens or hundreds of people at the beginning?" Can you imagine relying on a few of us to command several villages around them? ”

"I can't imagine it." Xiao Han replied honestly, what Ren Qing said is indeed a bit fantastical. In Datang, which village in Guanzhong can you go to give an order? The whole village doesn't beat you into a dog! ”

"Therefore, the people there know that they will eat and wait for death, and they will not know how to use the treasure given by God!" Ren Qing said hatefully, and he didn't know whether he was angry at these people's incompetence, or because God was biased and gave all the good things to these wasted people.

"I don't know how blessed I am!" Xiao Han somewhat understood Ren Qing's loss, patted Ren Qing's arm and said, "Then you say, can this rice seed have the same state as it is in Linyi?" ”

"There will definitely be!"

What Ren Qing said was affirmative, but at the moment he was a little bottomless in his heart.

In Linyi, he had seen this rice grow more fiercely than weeds! From sowing to harvesting, it only takes about three months! But it is said that people leave their hometowns cheaply, and whether this grain can be the same as before when they leave their hometowns, only God knows! But he still hopes that these precious seeds exchanged for his life can exert their original effect, and only in this way can they be worthy of those brothers, and they can rest in peace under the nine springs.
