I passed the earth dam before, and the hydrological observation station is below.
Along the river valley, the path finally extended from the woods to the open area. Old Man Park pointed to a row of flood control embankments slightly higher than the ground in the distance.
Xiaoyan and Nam Sung-jae were also wet. Xiaoyan's face became a little pale. She held her shoulders with her hands and kept fighting. Although Nam Sung-jae was very strong, she was not relaxed when she looked at her expression.
The donkey seemed to care about the wet and cold weather at all, and his feet were steady. He carried me all the way up the embankment. The group followed him up and went up to the top of the dam. Only then did they see that there was an extremely open riverbed here. There was a hump-like high ground in the middle of the riverbed. There was a small house with regular civil structure on it. The house was very small, about a few meters wide and less than ten meters long. There should be only two rooms at most, a herringbone roof and a rectangular earth stove chimney on it. The whole house was carefully painted with white walls and red roofs, surrounding the small house, and there was a small courtyard of about one hundred square meters. There were various instruments and equipment in the yard.
Although her face turned blue and her body was trembling, Xiaoyan still smiled and said: I often see small houses like this by the river or on the island. It turns out that they are hydrological observation stations.
The rain made the already muddy ground even more slippery, and it became dark. The terrain of the courtyard was very high. It took some trouble to climb from under the riverbed to the courtyard. The donkey slipped and almost fell down when it was uphill. Fortunately, Old Man Park and Nam Sung-jae worked together to hold the donkey. Several people rolled and crawled on the ground and finally climbed onto the hump-shaped highland where the courtyard was located.
There is no one in the winter, and now there is no electricity. I will go and see the generator. Who of you two can make a fire? Hurry up and light the earthen kang to see how you all freeze.
Old man Park started to arrange the arrangements after entering the yard.
Xiaoyan looked at Nam Sung-jae and whispered: I don’t know. I have been going to school outside when I was a child, and I have never slept in such a kang.
Nam Sung-jae smiled and said: Don't worry, I will.
Put me off the rack that the donkey was pulling, and Nam Chengzai pulled me into the house with my arm. The room was pitch black, but the faint light outside could vaguely show that the house was separated from the middle into three parts: two rooms on the left and right and one corridor in the middle.
The front door is a straight corridor, more than one meter wide, with white paint on the walls and the floor is paved with imitation marble-style ceramic tiles. The inside is a very common earth stove in the northern countryside, with a stove made of cast iron on it, which can boil water and cook. After passing the stove, the inside is a wooden bowl rack against the back window, with some pots and pans neatly placed on it, and some daily necessities are all available. This corridor is actually equivalent to an open kitchen.
My whole body was trembling like a sieve and I couldn't stand it at all. Nam Sung-jae dragged me into the corridor and put me on the ground. I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes in a dizzy state.
He turned around and said to Xiaoyan: I'll go and see if there is any firewood. You should be optimistic about him and don't let him cause trouble. If he is not honest, you can use this to hit him!
As he said that, he grabbed a steel stove hook to poke the fire next to the earthen stove and handed it to Xiaoyan.
Xiaoyan actually took it, held it in her hand and weighed it, gestured in front of me and said: Be honest, otherwise you will be polite to you!
Her tone was not fierce at all, and she could not intimidate anyone at all.
While Nam Sung-jae went out to find something to make a fire, Xiaoyan squatted in front of me and asked me: Your name is Yang Daqing?
I was too lazy to open my eyes, and nodded in a silence.
I seem to have heard of this name.
Xiaoyan tilted her head and looked at me carefully on my face, but her eyes were still as if she was looking at a stranger, which made me feel that kind of familiarity.
Can you tell me why you were killing?Xiaoyan's clear eyes could see a flash of light even in the faint light.
She immediately sighed again and shook her head and said: Alas, you are like this, how could you say it?Okay, please walk around obediently. After a while, Brother Chengzai will be ready and the fire will be warm. It’s really cold to death when the rain falls.
My hands were handcuffed behind my back. Now it has been a while since the medicine that Nam Sung-jae put on me. Although it has not yet been painful yet, I can feel that the scalp on my face and scalp is already swollen like a blown balloon, and it feels like it is about to burst.
I tried to clear my throat and found that there was a slight breath in my mouth. If my chest exerted force, I could make a series of uh...uh sounds.
But without tongue and chin support, the sound I made could only hum like a pig's cry.
Sorry, if you correct it, there will be scale changes in pig cries, but mine doesn't.
I feel like it’s a miracle that I can stay awake all the time.
You want to talk?Xiaoyan noticed my change, looked at me and asked, and came to me again, as if she wanted to hear some information from the humming sounds made between my throat.
He Yat!Stay away from him!
The shout scared me, and Xiaoyan shrank her neck, and saw Nam Sung-jae strode into the room with a bundle of wooden snatches, grabbing Xiaoyan's arm with one hand and pulling her up.
Don’t believe him. Everything he says is about running away. You are a kind girl. You must remember what I said. No matter what he expresses to you, he is lying to you!
Nam Sung-jae was telling lies with sternness.
How could he lie to me like this?Xiaoyeon blinked her big eyes and asked Nam Sung-jae strangely.
Nam Sung-jae's eyebrows moved, and glanced at me and said: It's temporary that he can't speak, but he may use all methods to express it to you, because he knows that he can only deceive you, so he will do everything he can. You must be vigilant!
Xiaoyeon wanted to say something, Nam Sung-jae waved her hand and said: I'll make a fire immediately, hurry up and take off the wet clothes on your body. It's too cold and you'll get sick.
Xiaoyan obediently quickly took off her coat, which was covered with the white turtleneck sweater, holding her shoulders and stomping her feet quickly on the ground like dancing.
Nam Chengzai quickly squatted to the earthen stove, stuffed the moisture-carved wooden sausages into the stove pit, found a box of matches beside the stove, and found another piece of pine Akiko, lit Akiko, and carefully stuffed them into the gap of the wooden sausage.
Akiko pine wood is very flammable and will burn for a long time. Although the wood sausage is a little wet on rainy days, after a while, the firewood still began to vent with a crackling sound.
Wow!Why is it so choking!Xiaoyan kept watching Nam Sung-jae make a fire with curiosity, and immediately protested when she was choked by black smoke.
No, it should be the chimney sealed... Nam Chengzai was looking for something up and down around the corridor, but the light was very dark. He searched for a long time before he found a thin iron piece inserted into the wall near the roof above the earth stove. He quickly pulled out the iron piece. As expected, the earth stove below slowly disappeared from black smoke, and the wooden slabs gradually burned. Nam Chengzai found a few more coal cakes pressed on the burning firewood, and the coal cakes slowly began to burn.
ah!How did you know there is such a mechanism?Xiaoyan asked curiously.
Nam Sung-jae became proud and said in a show-off manner: I mean, what is this...
As the flames in the stove gradually rose, the heat slowly spread.
Old Man Park has been there for a long time, and there is no electricity in the house. However, the orange-red fire is shining and pounding in front of us, and the warm heat is gradually emitting, causing white water vapor to begin to steam from the three of our wet clothes.
It's so warm... Can you boil some hot water to drink?Xiaoyan asked.
Nam Sung-jae was about to get up when the lights in the room finally lit up. Although it was just a darkened low-degree incandescent lamp, the dim light still illuminated our crowded corridor.
There was a black kettle on the sill near the back window, and Nam Seung-jae walked back into the rain with the kettle.
Hey... the clothes on you are mine, you should take them off quickly, and the fire will be warm, and it will not be so uncomfortable.
Xiaoyan seems to be not as afraid of me in the valley now, and now she can care about me very peacefully.
I couldn't move, but I noticed that some of the wooden slabs were wrapped with some thin wire on them.
According to Xiaoyan’s misunderstanding of me now, she will definitely not help me as a murderer, and I have to solve my own problems.
Those thin wires should help me, but how can I get them?
I'll help you take off your coat, but don't move around, okay?Xiaoyan asked me with her lips pursed.
I nodded quickly.
She couldn't take off my coat when I leaned against the wall. When she came to pull my coat, she took advantage of her pulling my stall and poured her upper body forward and threw herself on the pile of firewood beside the stove.
You guy... Xiaoyan pulled me up with some resentment. I had already grabbed a wooden scepter wrapped in iron wire with my mouth, and shook my head and threw the wood to the wall on my side.
I sat up again and moved my body hard towards the firewood. As if I was adjusting my fire position, I fell sideways on the ground in front of the stove, blocking the wooden sauce with my body.
Along the river valley, the path finally extended from the woods to the open area. Old Man Park pointed to a row of flood control embankments slightly higher than the ground in the distance.
Xiaoyan and Nam Sung-jae were also wet. Xiaoyan's face became a little pale. She held her shoulders with her hands and kept fighting. Although Nam Sung-jae was very strong, she was not relaxed when she looked at her expression.
