Entertaining Children

"When is it?" Jiang Yan who woke up rubbed her eyes and asked Xiao Yao who was sitting in front of her.

"Thirty past three in the afternoon." Xiao Yao took out his phone and looked at it. They took a mountain road that no one knew about. There was no signal in this mountain, and the biggest use of this phone was to check the time.

"I've been sleeping for so long." Jiang Yan sat up, listening to the pattering rain outside, she said to Xiao Yao, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No need, I'm not sleepy anymore." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, stood up and said, "It's the time now, and the rain hasn't stopped. I guess we won't be able to go down the mountain today, so we have to spend the night here. It’s not dark, I’ll go out and find some wood to bring in, I’m afraid these are not enough to burn overnight.”

To survive in the wilderness, fire is very important. In addition to heating, it is also an important means of preventing animals. Animals are generally afraid of fire, and the cave they are in now has traces of bird and animal activities. If the fire goes out, there is no guarantee that wild animals will break in.

"Let me go!" Jiang Yan also stood up and said.

"You just woke up, and it's easy to catch a cold when you go out to blow the air." Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "And you've been there once, and now my clothes are all dry, it's my turn this time." Saying, Xiao Yao put on the jacket and hat, and went out of the cave.

After a while, Xiao Yao came in with a big hug of branches. Xiao Yao is tall and has long arms and great strength. He only finds thicker branches that are more resistant to burning. The ones he found this time are probably enough to burn overnight.

Seeing Xiao Yao come back with a pile of thick branches, Jiang Yan hurriedly removed the dry branches next to the fire that had been dried but not added to the fire, and asked Xiao Yao to put the newly found wet branches on the fire. Baking beside the pile.

After solving the fuel problem at night, the two of them had nothing to do again. Now that Xiao Yao wasn't sleepy anymore, Jiang Yan dragged him to chat again. When it was time for dinner, the two ate dinner in the cave again. Jiang Yan brought dry food for one meal. Although she saved some food for lunch and took a nap in the afternoon, the food left for dinner was still a bit small. Fortunately, Xiao Yao brought a lot of chocolate energy bars, and after distributing some to Jiang Yan, the dinner of the two was settled smoothly.

At eight or nine in the evening, the rain outside finally stopped. But at this time, it was completely dark, and neither of them prepared lighting tools such as flashlights. The illumination of the mobile phone was extremely limited, and the mountain road was very slippery after it had just rained. It was also very dangerous to walk on the road at night, so the two of them He didn't take any risks either, and stayed in the cave all night.

After waking up, Jiang Yan stretched comfortably, and found that the fire in the cave was still burning, and the sky outside the cave was already bright. She looked at Xiao Yao next to her, looking at her with a pair of big eyes Woolen cloth.

"You didn't sleep all night? Why didn't you wake me up? It was agreed to take turns to watch the night.

"Jiang Yan wondered. Looking at Xiao Yao's energy, it doesn't look like he hasn't slept all night, but looking at his neat body, unruffled hair, and extremely clear eyes, he doesn't look like he just woke up.

Sleeping in a cave in the wild, especially since the rain had stopped outside, neither of them dared to take it lightly. They had originally discussed taking turns keeping watch over the fire. Xiao Yao said that he would keep watch for the first half of the night and let Jiang Yan go to bed first, then wake her up at some point and ask her to keep watch for the rest of the night. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yan woke up and opened her eyes, it was already dawn.

"I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't call you." Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not that I didn't sleep at all, I squinted for a while. But don't worry, I slept very lightly, paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the cave. "

Jiang Yan looked at the ground at the entrance of the cave, and found that there was a 40 to 50 centimeters high threshold piled up with branches. Even if animals could crawl in, it was absolutely impossible for them to crawl in quietly without making any noise. No wonder Xiao Yao dared to rest assured sleep.

"The rain has stopped and the sky is dawning. Let's go down the mountain early." Xiao Yao packed up his things, greeted Jiang Yan, and walked out of the cave. Although the mountain road after the rain was still a bit muddy and slippery, but now the sky is bright, the two of them should be more careful, and they can still walk.

When the two walked out of the cave, the fresh air in the mountains in the morning was refreshing, and they couldn't help but took a few deep breaths.

After identifying the direction, Jiang Yan led Xiao Yao down the mountain.

Jiang Yan, the private tour guide, is indeed very familiar with this area. An hour later, the two were out of the mountain and took the road that led to the town when they came yesterday.

The restaurant where Xiao Yao parked and the relative's house where Jiang Yan stayed were located in two different directions at the entrance of the town. After entering the town, it was time for the two to break up.

Before parting, Xiao Yao took out his wallet, took out 200 yuan and handed it to Jiang Yan, "Please, this is your tour guide fee."

"But you didn't go to Huanglonggou yet." Jiang Yan said while looking at Xiao Yao, refusing to accept Xiao Yao's money.

"I'm going back, and I'll come back next time I have a chance." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Although I didn't go to Chenghuanglonggou this time, it was because of the weather, not you. You are a very competent tour guide, come again next time , I still asked you to take me to evade the fare. But if you don’t want it, I’ll be embarrassed to ask you again next time I come.”

"Okay then." Jiang Yan thought for a while, took the banknote handed over by Xiao Yao, then reached out and took out the change from her pocket, seemingly looking for change.

"You don't need to look for it anymore." Xiao Yao said, "You not only stayed with me for a day, but also stayed with me for a night in the mountains. If you spend a lot of time, I will give you a night's sleep in the cave as compensation."

"You also said that it was because of the weather, not you." Jiang Yan said, "Yesterday you also went out to pick up wood, and I wore your clothes and ate your food, how can I make you compensate? ?”

"That's a tip, a reward for you!" Xiao Yao laughed.

Jiang Yan wanted to say something more, but the phones on both of them rang at the same time.

"That's it, goodbye!" Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone with one hand, and waved goodbye to Jiang Yan with the other.

Xiao Yao heard that the ringtone of the mobile phone was a reminder of an incoming message, not a phone call, so he was not in a hurry, so he looked for the parking place and looked down at the information on the mobile phone.

"Damn it!" After reading the first text message, Xiao Yao frowned, and quickly called Ye Jiaying.

The phone got through as soon as it rang, and it seemed that the other side seemed to be standing by the phone all the time.

"Mom!" Xiao Yao just called out, and cheers came from the phone.

"Bayi! Thank God!" Ye Jiaying yelled on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Yao heard Ye Jiaying's voice calling Xiao Siqi: "Siqi, Bayi is calling! It's Bayi's own voice!" Then Xiao Yao listened There were some noises over there, obviously Ye Jiaying switched the phone to hands-free mode.

"I just said, that boy Bayi is so shrewd, he will definitely be fine!" Then, Xiao Siqi's seemingly calm but excited voice came out.

"Go, you are so relieved, you won't be able to sleep all night?" Ye Jiaying said something to Xiao Siqi, and finally said to Xiao Yao, "Bayi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Xiao Yao said, "What's the matter? Are you asking me to call you back?"

"What's the matter? There was an earthquake in Wuyou County, Sichuan Province yesterday! The situation seems to be serious!" Xiao Siqi said, "You told Yiran that you went to play in Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province. Jiuzhaigou is only tens of kilometers away from Nawuyou County. Influence, we are afraid that you will go to Wuyou County to play, and we are worried that something will happen to you."

"Yesterday, someone posted on Weibo that there was an earthquake in Wuyou County. After seeing that Wuyou County is only a few tens of kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou, they immediately called you, but your phone was still unavailable, so they called us again and told us about you. About going to Jiuzhaigou, I asked if you have contacted us." Ye Jiaying continued, "We heard that you were going to Jiuzhaigou, and we were very worried. We called you all day yesterday, but we couldn't get through. I was so worried that I didn't sleep all night. Now I have already booked a flight ticket to Sichuan Province today, and I am going to come to Sichuan Province to find you!"

"Fuck! There was an earthquake!" Shocked, Xiao Yao hurriedly said to the phone, "I'm fine, don't come, just refund your ticket, I'll go back right away. I won't go back to Shencheng, I'll just go home. "

"Okay, okay, we won't go, we'll wait for you at home." Ye Jiaying said.

"What happened yesterday? Where did you go? Why can't you get through the phone?" Xiao Siqi recalled his worries last night, and asked Xiao Yao again, "Although the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has been affected, the communication has not been interrupted, only Wuyou County The nearby communication is cut off, so we are so worried, afraid that you will go to Wuyou County."

"I didn't go to Jiuzhaigou. I came to Huanglonggou first, which is near Huanglong Scenic Area." Xiao Yao recalled the map he had seen before and said, "Huanglong is farther from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou is from Wuyou County, more than 100 kilometers away. .I went to the mountains of Huanglonggou yesterday. I took a small road without people. There was no signal in the mountains, and it was raining. I couldn’t go out of the mountains. I stayed in the mountains all night. "

Both Xiao Siqi and his wife knew that Xiao Yao had traveled to many places with Chen Xuan since he was a child. He had spent the night in the mountains not once or twice, but he possessed the experience and ability in this area. They didn't worry too much about spending the night in the mountains, but the incident of falling off the cliff was too dangerous, so Xiao Yao kept it a secret.

"Okay, then hurry up and talk about it when you get home." Ye Jiaying said. Hearing that Xiao Yao's place is farther from Wuyou County than Jiuzhaigou is from Wuyou County, both Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying heaved a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'm leaving for the airport now." Xiao Yao agreed and hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao made the phone call while walking, and after the phone call, Xiao Yao almost walked to his car. Taking out the car keys and pressing the door, Xiao Yao threw his backpack into the trunk of the car, sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Before starting, Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure running towards him waving his hands.

"Jiang Yan?" Xiao Yao didn't turn off the engine, but just pressed the window next to the driver's seat and stuck his head out.

"Mr. Xiao, Big Brother Xiao, please drive me to Wuyou County!" Jiang Yan rushed to Xiao Yao's car, held the door of Xiao Yao's driver's side with both hands, and panted.

"What? Wuyou County?" Xiao Yao was startled, "Do you know that there was an earthquake in Wuyou County yesterday?"

"I know! I just found out after I went back!" Jiang Yan said anxiously, "I'm going because of the earthquake in Wuyou County. My family is in Wuyou County. My parents and younger brother are at home. I'm now I can’t get in touch with them, and I’m worried, I’m going back to find them!”

"Since yesterday, there has been no bus to Wuyou County in the town. All the buses are evacuating people to Jiuhuang Airport and Chengdu. Many tourists have to return after hearing the news. I don’t even go to Wuyou County, I can’t find a car to Wuyou County at all. The only person I know who has a car is you, please take me there, please?” Jiang Yan took out all the banknotes on her body with red eyes Come out, "I'll give you the fare, I'll give you all the money on my body as fare!"

"It's not about money, you know I'm not short of money." Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "You've said it all, now people on Huanglong's side are afraid of being affected by aftershocks, and they are retreating, and you still have to go to Wuyou County. Running in the epicenter is very dangerous!"

Xiao Yao comforted her and said: "The government department 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 take you there along the way, but to Wuyou County? I think it’s better for you not to disturb the rescue team.”

"There is a danger of aftershocks there, but the government has sent people to rescue there, which means that the most dangerous time has passed." Jiang Yanyu said in a teary voice, "Wuyou County is as big as it is, with so many people, the government sent people to rescue it. How can people come over in a short time, and don’t they have to ask the locals for help? I am a local, and my family members are all there, so I will go there to find them, and I will also go there to help save people in the county.”

"I know that those who come to travel will retreat out of fear of danger and go home," Jiang Yan continued crying, "I don't want you to help me save people, as long as you send me to Wuyou County, you can drive Go back. I really can’t find a car to go there. I really have no choice but to beg you. I also know that it’s safer to stay outside, but if it’s Brother Xiao and your family is in Wuyou County, you can stay at ease Wait for news in a safe place outside?"

After hearing Jiang Yan's last words, Xiao Yao remembered what Ye Jiaying said on the phone just now that they had already booked a plane ticket and wanted to come to Sichuan Province to find him. What I know, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying must also know, but they still booked the plane ticket without hesitation. If they were in a different place and changed themselves, they would probably make the same choice, right?

"Alas~" Looking at Jiang Yan, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and thinking about the friendship he had spent together these two days and one night, Xiao Yao couldn't say no, so he could only sigh, shook his head and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to Wuyou County!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Jiang Yan bowed several times to Xiao Yao, and then ran to the co-pilot and opened the car door and sat in.
