It was still early, he thought that Lu Xiaoan should still be awake, but when he went downstairs to call her, he found that she had already been waiting for him inside the house.
For some reason, the sky started to darken. Mo Shu looked at the weather and felt that something was wrong. She forgot to check the weather yesterday, but there were a lot of stars in the sky at night, so it should be sunny today.
"Anthea, did you check the weather last night?"
"I don't have any …"
Mo Shu's face darkened, if the weather suddenly changed, she would definitely not be able to travel in the wild, the car suddenly stopped by the side of the road.
"It looks like the weather is going to change. Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?" There are still a few days left, so as long as I'm in a hurry, I can finish it. "
"Mo Shu, you should drive back first. Today, no matter what, I have to go find the materials. I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's too late. "
How could Mo Shu let her go up the mountain alone? Seeing her determined to leave, he could only allow her to do as she pleased.
"What are you saying? How could I let you go alone? "Fasten your seat belt, we are going to get ready to go up the mountain." "
The mountain road was narrow, and at regular intervals, there would be a section of mountain road that was extremely rugged. On both sides of the mountain road were high mountains, and Mo Shu had always been carefully looking at these mountains, when she suddenly realised that these mountains all seemed to contain more or less shattered rocks.
Mo Shu could only use a relatively stable speed to pass through the clouds as soon as possible while ensuring her safety. After an hour of driving, the clouds started to darken and the rumbling of thunder could suddenly be heard.
This was bad, what she feared came true! Mo Shu was currently in a not very safe rocky area. He looked at the road in front of him, and saw that it looked like she could easily walk out of this area from two hundred meters away.
Lu Xiaoan was also regretting her decision. How could she let him accompany her to a dangerous place? The rain lightly fell on the windscreen, and it started to rain!
"Mo Shu, what do we do, will nothing happen to you?"
Mo Shu gave her a comforting look and tried her best to control the speed of the car to a safe distance of two hundred meters away. Taking advantage of the light rain, the car slowly drove away from the slippery rocks.
Lu Xiaoan's heart finally calmed down a little, and they walked all the way to the middle of the mountain. The rain suddenly became heavier, and when the heavy rain hit the windscreen, she was unable to see the path ahead clearly. Mo Shu looked ahead. The road was too poor, and she couldn't enter by car anymore. She could only stop the car by the side of the road.
"Mo Shu, what do we do now …"
"Great, my friend brought a raincoat. This brat is pretty useful, wait till I go back and treat him to a big meal."
Mo Shu took out a bag of raincoats and ripped it open. Lu Xiaoan was about to reach into the bag as well, but she found that she had already zipped the bag shut before him.
"An An, you can't go. "Since I can't drive through the car, I can only climb the mountain on foot. It's raining heavily outside, so just wait for me obediently."
As Mo Shu spoke, she had already put on the raincoat and was observing the outside of the window. When the rain got lighter, she would be able to go out.
Lu Xiaoan held tightly onto his hand, "No, you can't go by yourself. This is my business after all, I want to go as well, or else I won't let you take the risk."
Mo Shu turned her head, and for the first time, she did not look at her with a smile.
"Bringing you would only make my speed even slower, and that would be even more dangerous. If you want to safely go down the mountain, then wait for me obediently in the car. Don't you believe me?"
"Don't worry, you just have to wait for me obediently. From now on, you will watch the road ahead, don't go out, and don't look for me either. If I'm still not back in 5 hours, you can go down the mountain after the rain stops, understand?"
"I won't!" Lu Xiaoan wasn't willing to listen to him in the first place. "If you don't come back, then I'll stay here and wait for you. "Otherwise, I will starve to death here!"
Mo Shu really couldn't do anything to her. Seeing that the rain had lessened, he also stuffed the legs of her pants into his shoes and tied them tighter to prevent his shoes from falling off.
"Good girl, I'm going to get you some silk. Wait for me." Mo Shu tried her best to speak to her in a relaxed tone, and then without waiting for her to speak, she put on the hat on her raincoat and directly went out.
Lu Xiaoan watched as he walked further and further away, three hundred meters in front of the turning point, Mo Shu suddenly turned her body and made an 'ok' sign. Although Lu Xiaoan couldn't see it clearly, she knew that he must be smiling warmly at him.
Lu Xiaoan had never felt that it was possible for time to pass by so slowly before. Occasionally, there would be rocks that would fall off from the side of the carriage. Lu Xiaoan suddenly felt that the small space in the carriage made him feel uneasy.
The rain seemed to have grown heavier, hitting the glass and Lu Xiaoan's heart. She was worried that no one would come around the corner in five hours.
The road could still be seen on the ground, but now, all that could be seen was the rocks on the road. Little puddles were gradually formed on the road surface, and after a while, the puddles became larger and connected, and gradually the ground could no longer be seen.
Lu Xiaoan kept staring at the turning point, her heart also sinking a little, she really did not dare to think too much. Lu Xiaoan only felt that the longer it went on, the more she wanted to cry. She panicked more and more when she saw the turn, and finally, she buried her head between her legs.
After an unknown amount of time, the rain outside seemed to have stopped. Lu Xiaoan mustered her courage and looked in front of him, but there was nothing there …
Five hours! The sky had gradually turned green, and a rainbow hung in the sky. It was still drizzling outside, and it hadn't rained much for a while. The soil was dry, and the water seeped in quickly.
If I don't come back in five hours, you can go down by yourself after the rain stops... Lu Xiaoan thought of his words and slowly opened her clenched fist. The ache in her eyes reminded her that she had already gripped it for a few hours.
Lu Xiaoan took out another raincoat from her backpack and got off the car, but she did not go down the mountain. Instead, she chose the direction in which he left in.
Lu Xiaoan walked up the mountain step by step, the rain was too heavy, and had already washed away Mo Shu's footprints. Lu Xiaoan could only walk on her own. She observed the mountain road. Aside from the small roads, there were stones on both sides of the road. The trees were a little higher up, so when it rained, there was no place to grab her.
It was only a light drizzle right now, so it was very difficult for Lu Xiaoan to climb the mountain. She really didn't dare think about how Mo Shu climbed up the mountain step by step.
Since there was no more thunder, he should be able to make a phone call. Lu Xiaoan took out her cellphone from her pants pocket and dialed his number. The number was dialed, but no one answered. Lu Xiaoan continued to make calls as she walked up the stairs.
Lu Xiaoan seemed to have faintly heard the sound of someone coming from a location not too far away. She immediately slowed down her footsteps, looked around to find the source of the sound, and finally found Mo Shu's phone 50 metres away! There was also a piece of soil with scratches on it. Maybe Mo Shu fell down, the phone dropping from her body. However, because of the stone partition, the phone did not enter the water.
Lu Xiaoan suddenly felt very sad, and very helpless. If something really happened to Mo Shu to work, she would be miserable for the rest of her life.
Lu Xiaoan sat on a rock and rested for a while, suppressing her emotions. She decided to continue heading up the mountain, no matter what, she had to find Mo Shu.
The sky was getting darker, and the distance between them was getting shorter and shorter. Lu Xiaoan could only speed up her pace and head up the mountain.
Lu Xiaoan bravely walked forward as she silently encouraged herself in her heart. She was only a child's mother, and she needed a strong heart. In the future, she would have even more responsibilities to face.
After dusk, her sense of direction had become less sensitive. Lu Xiaoan continued to walk forward, never stopping. She simply did not know how long she had walked for.
"Woof, woof …" Woof woof …
Was it a dog barking? After continuously walking on the mountain road for a few hours, Lu Xiaoan could no longer feel the aching pain in her thighs.
"Woof, woof …" "Woof …"
That's not right! She wasn't hallucinating! It's true! Since there was the sound of a dog barking, it meant that there was someone here! Lu Xiaoan quickly used the flashlight on her phone to look for the right direction. She was not heading towards the mountain road anymore, but towards the forest on the mountain side.
