Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

In an emergency, the division of labor is rapid, leaving no time to think about other things.

Lou Xiao took Li Huaiqing's arm and walked onto the deck. She didn't care what he thought or whether he agreed or not. She put her arm around his waist and jumped.

Li Huaiqing's whole body was stiff, and he reflexively put his arm around her shoulders. Before he could react, she had already taken him away from the boat.

As light as a swallow, he leaped to the shore effortlessly.

As soon as they landed, Lou Xiao let go. She didn't even look at him, but waited anxiously for Er Liu to grab the boatman and Ai Ying to grab his driver.

They all came ashore with their luggage.

Only Mo Jingchun was left.

Li Huaiqing opened the oil-paper umbrella to block the raindrops for her. Only then did Lou Xiao react and turn to look at him.

The sound of rain crackling against the umbrella, the muddy river water carrying dead branches and the rickety boat flowing into the distance,

This was not a good moment, but there was temporary peace under the umbrella. The two people looked at each other at a very close distance, and there was an inexplicable ambiguity.

Li Huaiqing's mind was moved.

Her extremely bare face was wet by the rain, and her hair stuck to her rosy cheeks and plump lips.

The two of them were so close that he could count her curled eyelashes and see the reflection in her eyes - that was him.

However, this layer of ambiguity was only fleeting, and Lou Xiao quickly turned to look at the third person who had squeezed in, Mo Jingchun.

He didn't know when he got ashore. He had no belongings and naturally had no umbrella to shelter from the rain. He clung to Lou Xiao, pretending not to see Li Huaiqing's suddenly cold face.

He laughed wildly and said to Lou Xiao in a very familiar manner, "I'm right, right?"

Now, they had to go ashore.

The boatman was in tears as he looked at the abandoned boat in the heavy rain. Li Huaiqing, the richest man in the group, came to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I will pay you the price."

Lou Xiao felt uncomfortable because of the squeezing, and she felt something strange when she looked at Li Huaiqing just now. Seeing Er Liu holding an umbrella alone, she immediately moved over.

Only Li Huaiqing and Mo Jingchun were left looking at each other in dismay.

The sudden encounter made people feel a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, everyone is not someone who has never experienced anything.

After a moment of confusion, he chose a direction and walked forward in the rain.

The most urgent thing is to find a house to take shelter from the rain.

No one knew how long the rain would last, and everyone looked a little embarrassed. It was not wise to travel in the rain, so it would be best to wait until the rain stopped and the sky cleared before making a decision.

However, their luck was not very good. As a result of their temporary landing, they walked a very long way without seeing any inhabited villages.

Lou Xiao and the others were fine, but Li Huaiqing felt uncomfortable. He had never walked in the rain for so long.

My shoes were covered in mud, and my rain-soaked clothes stuck to my skin, making it extremely uncomfortable. The elegance of listening to the spring thunder and rain hitting the banana leaves was completely gone.

Li Huaiqing just wanted to change his clothes and take a shower, and stay away from this strange man beside him.

Mo Jingchun suddenly pointed at a candlelight in a house not far away and said, "Look! There is a house over there."

The candlelight was so weak in the rain that it was about to go out at any moment. It was amazing that he recognized it with his sharp eyes.

The group headed for the dilapidated wooden house hidden in the forest. Lou Xiao knocked on the door first. After a while, a hesitant voice asked from inside the door,

"Who is it?"

"We are passers-by who have lost our way in the heavy rain. We would like to take shelter from the rain for a while. Could you please help us?" Lou Xiao asked softly.

"I'll leave as soon as the rain stops. I won't cause you any trouble."

There was no movement in the house for a long time, as if the sound just now was just their illusion.

Lou Xiao knocked on the door again, and the voice asked again at the door, "How did the passerby come to our place? You are lying to me."

This place is extremely remote, and it is impossible for a group of people to come here.

"Our boat broke down." Lou Xiao had to tell the truth. "It was raining heavily and the river was flowing fast. Our boat had an accident and we had no choice but to come ashore."

That's possible.

The tightly closed wooden door was opened a crack, and half of a small head poked out from the crack. A pair of eyes moved around, observing Lou Xiao and the others, and finally fell on Lou Xiao.

Only because she is a woman, she seems more credible.

Lou Xiao took out the candied pine nut candy she bought for entertainment and handed it to the person in the room. The person's eyes lit up and he quickly took a bite.

As if satisfied, he opened the door, revealed his entire body, and said, "Then come in. We'll leave when the rain stops."

Only then did they realize that the person who opened the door was a child who was less than ten years old. She was wearing a loose, ill-fitting, patched robe and was very thin and small.

He didn't even have a pair of shoes on.

As soon as you enter the house, you will be struck by its dilapidated appearance. From the outside, the wooden house is about to collapse and is in a state of repair.

The house smelled of old rotten wood, and occasionally there were tangled spider webs.

It was raining heavily outside and the rain was leaking inside the house. The rain was collected in a wooden bucket and the sound of dripping could be heard.

The little kid sat on a wooden stool and put his head into the bag of snacks.

The group put away their umbrellas and prepared to rest. Lou Xiao squatted in front of the child and asked her, "Are you the only one at home? Where are your family members?"

The child seemed to like her very much. He bit the candied fruit and said, "My sister is out working. She will be back later."

That means there are no parents.

The two sisters depended on each other in the mountains. At night, when they were alone at home, the child would light a candle and wait for her sister to come home.

But how could she work at this time? Lou Xiao had some doubts in her mind, so she didn't continue.

He only borrowed her family's boiler to boil water, and Lou Xiao gave her some silver as a reward.

Seeing the silver, the little girl became even more excited.

He diligently took the initiative to light a fire, and soon the leaking house was filled with warmth.

There were no extra beds for the guests in the shabby house, so Ai Ying found some hay in the woodshed and lay down on it.

Li Huaiqing covered himself with wet clothes, changed into dry clothes and sat by the fire to warm himself.

Lou Xiao was not sleepy and was talking to the child who was also very energetic.

"Why aren't you asleep so late? Are you waiting for your sister to come back?"

"Hmm!" The little girl looked at the candied fruit in her hand and reluctantly gave her some.

He wrapped up the rest and held them in his arms, as if he was going to keep them.

"What's your name?" Lou Xiao stuffed the candied fruit back into her mouth. "You can't open the door so easily in the future, okay?"

The confused little girl nodded, "I know! My sister told me! ... My name is A Mao, what's yours, sister?"

Lou Xiao whispered in the flickering light of the fire, "My name is Xiao."

"Ah Xiao." Mo Jingchun sat down beside her without her noticing, and continued with a smile, "Where do you want to sleep? It's cold, I'll stay with you."

Li Huaiqing was warming himself by the fire while listening to Lou Xiao's words. Hearing what she said, "Everyone has washed up. It's your turn."

His words showed that he was disgusted with being dirty.

Mo Jingchun looked down at the mud on his body, raised his eyebrows and went to the shabby house to change clothes.

Li Huaiqing casually asked the little girl about the topic just now, "Amao, does your sister often come home so late?"
