"Click......"

A bright bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, the rain poured down like a Milky Way, and the wind carried the rain unscrupulously in the dark world.

Looking at the land that seemed to be all ravaged by the torrential rain, Yang Feng, who was instantly drenched all over his body, couldn't help but scold, "Damn, there is still this kind of heavy rain this season, what the hell." ”

Looking at the Thousand Households of Jiangdong Gate, which was still almost two miles away from him, and the land that had become pitch black, Yang Feng sighed helplessly. Originally, this was designated as a crossing point because of the remoteness of the distance, which is not easy to be discovered, but now it seems that it is not very good to be too remote.

And I forgot to take a flashlight when I came.,But like this kind of weather, even if there is a flashlight, it's not easy to use.,And the road from here to the thousand households is not very easy to walk.,If you really want to run over, you may have to fall how much.,It's troublesome to fall into the ditch.。

"Looks like we're going to have to find a place to take shelter from the rain for a while."

Yang Feng remembered that there should be a farm nearby, he wiped the rain from his face, looked around, and finally found that there seemed to be a few faint fires in the southeast, which should be the location of the farm.

After determining the direction, Yang Feng walked in the direction of the farm......

Ma Laohan inserted the latch into the slot against the strong wind, listened to the strong wind outside and crackle the window, and sighed with joy and worry. It stands to reason that this heavy rain is indeed a timely rain for Jinling, which has been dry for several months, but the scale is a bit large, and it would not be good if it was compiled from drought to waterlogging.

"Squeak!"

The door of the house inside was pushed open, and a young girl came over with an oil lamp, and the originally dark room immediately became a lot brighter...... Why aren't you sleeping? Didn't you forget that you still have to work tomorrow? ”

Ma Laohan glanced at the girl angrily: "Dad is not old and confused, of course he knows that he has to work, but he is a little worried about this rain, if this rain lasts too long and the crops outside are flooded." ”

The girl showed a helpless smile: "Dad, this is something that the field manager should worry about, why are you an ordinary Zhuang Ding doing this leisure?" ”

"What do you know?" Ma Laohan snorted lightly: "If there is no harvest on the farm, what will we eat and drink?" Or would you rather dig wild vegetables and nibble on the bark of trees again? ”

The girl said indignantly: "What are you afraid of, that's what you should consider." If there is really no food to eat, let's go and make trouble, if we can alarm the old man Hou Ye and his old man, then it would be good! ”

It's okay if the girl doesn't say it, but after saying it, Ma Laohan sighed helplessly: "Alas...... Hou Ye...... I haven't been back for two years, and the last time I heard someone say that he was probably going to stay in Fujian and never come back. ”

"No, how could Master Hou not come back? This is where his old man made his fortune! The girl was taken aback at first, then became excited, and said loudly: "Dad, don't listen to other people's rumors, Hou Ye just went to Fujian to fight Haikou, how can he not come back, this is his home!" ”

Looking at his excited daughter, Ma Laohan smiled bitterly, what kind of character is Hou Ye, how can he be in the little Jiang Ningwei for the rest of his life.

"Okay, girl, don't think about it, let's go back and rest, this rain doesn't seem to stop for a while, if it's tomorrow ......"

"Wait......" The girl suddenly interrupted her father's words, "Daddy...... Listen, there's a knock on the door outside. ”

"Hmmm......"

Ma Laohan listened carefully, in addition to the knock on the door, it seemed that someone was shouting outside.

The two of them listened for a while, their faces changed slightly, and the girl was a little puzzled: "Dad...... Who the hell is it so late? ”

"Just open the door and see, there must be something urgent when you come to knock on the door so late." Ma Laohan waved his hand and motioned for the girl to open the door.

The girl pouted, took a pair of oil coats and hats from the wall, and went out.

As for whether it would be a gangster outside, they didn't think about it at all, you must know that this is Jiang Ningwei's farm, there are hundreds of people in Qingzhuang alone, not to mention that these days when they are preparing to go on an expedition, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed nearby, so it has to be a brainless gangster to come here to do bad things.

Soon, the girl who went out to open the door led a person to push the door open and walked in.

"Daddy...... It was the big brother knocking on the door just now. ”

"Girl, shut them up."

When the girl closed the door, the father and daughter saw the face of the person who came.

It was a tall young man, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, his clothes had already been wet from the rain, and his face was covered in rain.

After the young man came in, he smiled and arched his hand at the old man Ma and said: "The old man is really sorry, the late life came to disturb you in the middle of the night is really a last resort, originally the late life wanted to go to the thousand households, but I didn't expect to encounter this heavy rain, I had to come and take shelter, you old man, please rest assured, I will wait until the rain stops and I will leave, I will not disturb you for too long." ”

Hearing the young man's words being clear and polite, Ma Laohan's originally scrutinizing gaze eased a lot, and he bowed his head and said: "Housheng is polite, who hasn't encountered some difficulties when going out, everyone should help each other." I just don't know why you're still hanging out so late? It must be known that during this time, Jiang Ningwei has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and if the army encounters it, it will be troublesome to arrest you as a spy. ”

The young man laughed, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "Don't worry, the old man, although he is not talented in his later life, he is by no means a spy, but he has something to go to the Thousand Households, so he has to rush at night, this old man can rest assured." ”

"Hmm!"

Ma Laohan replied noncommittally, turned his head and shouted to the girl who was standing behind him and looked at the young man in a daze: "Girl, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go to boil some hot water for the guests, let the guests wash up." ”

"Ah...... Oh...... Oh......"

was drunk like this by her own father, and the girl who was originally a little distracted came to her senses, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly twisted her sturdy waist and ran towards the room on the side.

Seeing his daughter enter the room, Ma Laohan picked up the dry tobacco from the table, and took out a small handful of tobacco from the cigarette pouch hanging on his waist and put it into the dry tobacco mouth, ready to light it on the oil lamp on the table.

When the young man saw it, he said, "Old man, don't worry, there are also cigarettes here in the late life, you try to smoke this." ”

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized cardboard box wrapped in a transparent package from his pocket, opened it, took out a long strip of something and handed it over.

Ma Laohan smiled when he saw it: "Oh, it turned out to be a cigarette, this thing is good, it is indeed easier to smoke than the old man." ”
