"What time is it?" Waking up, Jiang Yan rubbed her eyes and looked at the Xiao Yao road sitting in front of her.
"Three thirty in the afternoon." Xiao Yao takes out his cell phone and looks at it. They take the mountain road that no one knows. There is no signal in the mountain. The biggest use of the mobile phone is to watch the time.
"I''ve been sleeping so long." Jiang Yan sat up and listened to the sound of rain outside. She said to Xiao Yao, "do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No, I''m not sleepy anymore." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "now it''s time. The rain hasn''t stopped. It''s estimated that we can''t go down the mountain today. We have to spend the night here. While it''s still dark, I''ll go out and find some more wood to come in. I''m afraid these are not enough to burn all night. "
Fire is very important for survival in the wild. In addition to heating, it is also an important means to prevent animals. Animals are generally afraid of fire, and there are traces of bird and animal activities in the cave where they are now. If the fire goes out, there''s no guarantee that wild animals will break in.
"I''ll go." Jiang Yan also stood up and said.
"You just wake up, go out to blow, easy to catch a cold." Xiao Yao waved his hand with a smile and said, "and you''ve been there once. Now all my clothes are dry. It''s my turn this time." With that, Xiao Yao put on his uniform and hat and went out of the cave.
After a while, Xiao Yao came in with a big bundle of branches. Xiao Yao is tall, arms long, and strong. He is looking for thick and durable branches. This time, he will find enough to burn all night.
Seeing that Xiao Yao came back with a pile of thick branches in his arms, Jiang Yan quickly removed the dry branches that had been dried but had not been added to the fire, and asked Xiao Yao to put the newly found wet branches next to the fire to dry.
After solving the problem of fuel at night, they had nothing to do. Since Xiao Yao is not sleepy, Jiang Yan takes him to chat again. At dinner time in the evening, they had dinner in the cave. Jiang Yan brought a meal of dry food. Although she saved food at noon and slept in the afternoon, she still had less food left for dinner. Fortunately, after Xiao Yao brought a lot of chocolate bars and gave some to Jiang Yan, their dinner was also settled smoothly.
At eight or nine o''clock in the evening, the rain outside finally stopped. But by this time, it was already dark, and neither of them had any lighting tools such as flashlight. The illumination of mobile phones was extremely limited. The mountain road was very slippery after the rain. It was also very dangerous to walk on this night, so they didn''t take any risks and stayed in the cave all night.
When Jiang Yan wakes up, she stretches comfortably and finds that the fire in the cave is still burning. It''s already dawn outside the cave. Looking at Xiao Yao next to her, she is looking at her with a pair of big eyes.
"You didn''t sleep all night? Why didn''t you wake me up? We agreed to take turns to watch the night. " Jiang Yanqi said. Looking at Xiao Yao''s spirit, it''s not like he didn''t sleep all night, but his body is neat, his hair is not messy, his eyes are clear, and he doesn''t seem to wake up.
Sleeping in the cave in the wild, especially when the rain has stopped outside, they dare not take it lightly. Originally, they discussed taking turns to watch the fire. Xiao Yao said that he stayed up in the middle of the night, let Jiang Yan sleep first, wake her up at the time, and then let her stay in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yan wakes up, it''s already dawn.
"I didn''t call you because you slept so well." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I didn''t sleep at all. I squinted for a while. But don''t worry, I sleep very shallow and pay attention to the movement of the cave
Jiang Yan looked at the floor of the cave entrance and found that there was a 40-50 cm high threshold piled up with branches. Even if the animals could climb in, it was absolutely impossible for them not to make a sound. No wonder Xiao Yao dared to sleep at ease.
"The rain has stopped and it''s dawn. We''d better go back down the mountain early." Xiao Yao collects his things, greets Jiang Yan and walks out of the cave. Although the mountain road is still muddy and slippery after the rain, it''s bright now, so they can walk carefully.
When they walked out of the cave, the fresh air in the mountain in the early morning made people feel refreshed, and they could not help taking a few deep breaths.
After distinguishing the direction, Jiang Yan leads Xiao Yao down the mountain.
Jiang Yan, a private tour guide, is really familiar with this area. An hour later, they got out of the mountain and walked on the road leading to the town when they came yesterday.
Xiao Yao''s restaurant and Jiang Yan''s relatives are located in two different directions at the entrance of the town. When they get into town, it''s time for them to break up.
Before parting, Xiao Yao took out his wallet, took out 200 yuan and handed it to Jiang Yan, saying, "please, this is your tour guide fee."
"But you didn''t go to huanglonggou." Jiang Yan doesn''t take Xiao Yao''s money and looks at him.
"I''m going back. I''ll come back next time." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "although I didn''t go to chenghuanglonggou this time, it''s the weather, not you. Your tour guide is very competent. Next time I come back, I''ll ask you to take me to the path. But if you don''t want it, I''ll be sorry to come to you next time. "
"All right." Jiang Yan thought about it, took the note from Xiao Yao, and took out the change from her pocket. It seemed that she wanted to change."Keep the change." Xiao Yao said, "you not only accompany me for a day, but also accompany me to stay in the mountains for a night. If you have more than one night''s sleep in the cave, you can make up for it."
"You said it was the weather, not you." Jiang Yan said, "yesterday you also went out to pick up wood, I also put on your clothes, ate your things, how can you make up for it?"
"That''s a tip, a reward for you!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Jiang Yan wants to say something more, and their mobile phones ring at the same time.
"That''s it. Goodbye!" Xiao Yao takes out his mobile phone in one hand and waves goodbye to Jiang Yan in the other.
Xiao Yao hears that the ring of his mobile phone is a message, not a phone, so he is not in a hurry, so he goes to the parking place and looks down at the information on his mobile phone.
"Damn it After reading the first text message, Xiao Yao frowned and quickly called Ye Jiaying.
As soon as the phone rang, it got through. It seems that it has been standing by the phone.
"Ma!" Xiao Yaogang called, and there was a cheer from the phone.
"August 1st! Thank goodness Ye Jiaying yells at the other end of the phone, and Xiao Yao hears Ye Jiaying calling Xiao Siqi: "Siqi, you''re on the phone now! It''s Bayi''s own voice Then Xiao Yao heard some noise over there. It was obviously Ye Jiaying who switched the phone to hands-free mode.
"I said that Bayi boy is so smart, he will be OK!" Then, Xiao Siqi''s seemingly calm but excited voice came out.
"Go, you can''t rest assured that you won''t be able to sleep all night?" Ye Jiaying said Xiao Siqi, and finally said to Xiao Yao, "Bayi, are you ok?"
"I''m fine!" Xiao Yao said, "what''s the matter? You want me to call you back in a hurry? "
"What''s the matter? There was an earthquake in Wuyou County of Sichuan Province yesterday! The situation seems very serious! " Xiao Siqi said, "you tell me that you are still going to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province. Jiuzhaigou is only tens of kilometers away from Wuyou County, which has also been affected. We are afraid that you will go to Wuyou county to play and that you will have an accident."
"Yesterday, someone on the Internet tweeted that Wuyou county was hit by the earthquake, but as soon as he saw that Wuyou county was only tens of kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, he called you immediately, but your phone couldn''t get through all the time, so he called us again about your visit to Jiuzhaigou and asked if you had contacted us." Ye Jiaying continued, "when we heard that you were going to Jiuzhaigou, we were worried to death. We called you all day yesterday, but we couldn''t get through all the time. We were worried that we didn''t sleep all night. Now we have already made a reservation for today''s flight to Sichuan Province. We are ready to come to Sichuan Province to find you! "
"The trough! What an earthquake Shocked, Xiao Yao quickly said to the phone, "I''m ok. Don''t come. Return the ticket. I''ll go back immediately. I won''t go back to Shencheng. I''ll go straight home. "
"Well, well, we won''t go. We''ll wait for you at home." Ye Jiaying said.
"What happened yesterday? Where have you been? Why can''t I get through all the time? " Xiao Siqi thought of his worry last night, and asked Xiao Yao, "although Jiuzhaigou scenic area has been affected, the communication is not broken. Only the communication near Wuyou county is broken, so we are so worried that you may go to Wuyou county."
"I didn''t go to Jiuzhaigou. I came to Huanglong Valley first, near Huanglong scenic spot." Xiao Yao recalled the map he had seen before and said, "Huanglong is more far away from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou is from Wuyou county. It''s more than 100 kilometers. I went to the mountain of huanglonggou yesterday. I walked along a deserted path. There was no signal in the mountain. When it rained, I couldn''t get out of the mountain. I stayed in the mountain all night. This morning, I got out of the mountain and returned to the nearby town. "
Xiao Siqi and his wife all know that Xiao Yao has followed Chen Xuan to many places since he was a child. The experience of staying overnight in the mountains is not once or twice. They have the experience and ability in this field. They didn''t worry much about staying overnight in the mountains, but it was too dangerous for Xiao Yao to tell.
"Well, come back and go home." Ye Jiaying said. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were relieved to hear that Xiao Yao was far away from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou.
"OK, I''ll leave for the airport now." Xiao Yao promised and hung up the phone.
Xiao Yao made a phone call while walking. After the call, Xiao Yao almost went to his car. Taking out the key to open the door, Xiao Yao throws his backpack into the back compartment of the car, gets into the driver''s seat and starts the car.
Before he started, Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure waving his hand and running over.
"Jiang Yan?" Xiao Yao didn''t turn off the engine. He just pressed the window beside the driver''s seat and put his head out.
"Mr. Xiao, brother Xiao, please drive me to Wuyou County!" Jiang Yan rushed to Xiao Yao''s car and held the door of Xiao Yao''s driver''s seat with both hands, panting.
"What? Wuyou county Xiao Yao was startled, "do you know that there was an earthquake in Wuyou County yesterday?"
"I know! I didn''t know until I got back! " Jiang Yan said anxiously, "it''s because of the earthquake in Wuyou county that I want to go. My family is in Wuyou county. My parents and brother are at home. I can''t get in touch with them now. I''m worried that I''ll go back to them! ""Since yesterday, there has been no bus to Wuyou County in the town. All the buses are going to Jiuhuang airport and Chengdu. Many tourists have to return after hearing the news, and those private cars are not going to Wuyou county. I can''t find a bus to Wuyou county at all. You are the only person I know who has a car. Would you please take me there? " Jiang Yanhong took out all the money on her body with her eyes red. "I''ll give you the car money. I''ll give you all the money on my body as the car money!"
"It''s not about money. You know I''m not short of money." Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile, "you have said that now people in Huanglong are afraid of being affected by aftershocks. They are retreating. You have to run to the epicenter of Wuyou county. It''s very dangerous!"
Xiao Yao comforted her: "the government departments will definitely organize people to do the earthquake relief work. It''s better for you to stay in a safe place and wait for the news. If you have any relatives and friends who live far away from Wuyou County, I can drop you by, but go to Wuyou county? I think it''s better for you not to disturb the rescue team. "
"There is a danger of aftershocks, but the government has sent people there to rescue, which means that the most dangerous time has passed." Jiang Yanyu said with a cry, "Wuyou county is so big and there are so many people. The people sent by the government to the rescue can''t take care of it for a while. Don''t they have to ask the local people for help? I''m a local. My family are all there. I''m going there to find them and help save the people in the county. "
"I know that those who come to travel are afraid of danger and have to go out and go home," Jiang Yan continued crying. "I don''t want you to help me save people. As long as you take me to Wuyou County, you can drive back. I really can''t find the car to go there. I can''t help it. I just come to you. I also know that it''s safer to stay outside, but if it''s brother Xiao, your family is in Wuyou County, can you stay safe outside and wait for news? "
After listening to Jiang Yan''s last words, Xiao Yao remembers that Ye Jiaying said on the phone just now that they had already made a reservation to come to Sichuan Province to find him. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying certainly know what they know, but they still reserve the air ticket without hesitation. If they change their location, they will make the same choice, right?
"Alas ~" looking at Jiang Yan crying with tears and thinking about the friendship of these two days and one night, Xiao Yao could not say no, but sighed and waved his head and said, "get on the bus, I''ll take you to Wuyou County!"
"Thank you! Thank you, brother Xiao! " Jiang Yan bowed several times to Xiao Yao, then ran to the co pilot''s side, opened the door and sat in.
