Chapter 5 Typhoon Night
The sea breeze outside the window was much stronger than in the middle of the night, and I felt that the whole house was shaking.
Everyone was lying on the ground listening to the wind, and their hearts were full of turmoil. No one could close their eyes and sleep peacefully.
At this moment, after leaving this small hotel and walking a few steps, we will reach Nanhai. We are already inside Tanmen Town. If [Lin Yue], as Lin Zheyu’s father said, settled here, then we will find him
Will we soon know whether [Jianguo] is my adoptive father, what Lin Feng’s graffiti means, and what Dong Xingcai encountered back then!
In the increasingly noisy sea breeze, I could vaguely hear a few rapid whistles, which seemed to be mixed with shouts and piercing electric bells. It was almost dawn. Did a new day in Tanmen Town begin now?
The rats and weirdos who went out to catch crabs didn’t know what the harvest was. A few of us couldn’t help but stood up and wanted to go out to have a look, but the young prince just opened the door and took half a step. I felt a gust of wind carrying the whole hall.
The air flowed in. At this time, the owner of the small restaurant happened to be wearing a blanket and ran in from upstairs with unkempt hair:
"Lock the doors and lock the windows! That thing is coming!"
The young prince retracted his feet, everyone was stunned for a moment, what the hell?
But the hotel owner didn't look like he was joking at all. His eyes were swollen, and he looked like he had rushed over before he even woke up. He quickly closed several windows that had not been opened before.
, and inserted the bolt, and shouted while busy:
"You out-of-towners have come at the wrong time! You haven't found a place to stay outside yet, have you? The speed of that thing has accelerated. I didn't expect it to come before dawn. Otherwise, you can pay an extra three hundred yuan."
Qian, please stay here and hide for a while?"
The situation was so inexplicable that we were all a little dumbfounded. The young prince touched his bald head and asked, "What is going on? We have only been here a few hours. Is there anything strange outside?"
The hotel owner rolled his eyes at him and replied angrily: "I really admire you. How can I sleep well with such a strong wind? A typhoon is coming!"
"My day, typhoon?!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. No wonder there was no one on the road in Tanmen Town at night. The doors of every house were closed tightly and there was no night entertainment. The sea breeze we heard just now was so noisy. I bet a typhoon was coming early tonight!
Mr. Dong rubbed his goatee, took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the boss. It looks like we have to stay here for a while longer to wait for the typhoon to leave!
The shop owner's face softened and he said: "This is Tanmen Town in late summer and early autumn. August to October is the season when typhoons are most common. You must not have known that before you came here!"
Dr. Lin, who was deaf to what was going on outside the window, was finally willing to take off his earphones and sit up to close the window for us. I turned around and glanced at the empty mat, and I was suddenly shocked: Oops, Brother Mouse and the Weird Man, they are still outside.
Not back yet!
Even though all the doors and windows in the hall were closed, I could still clearly hear the sound of the wind outside changing from "noisy" to the roar of a ghost! I have too little experience, and I have never experienced anything called "
"Typhoon", but from Mr. Dong's face, we can tell that it must be a huge catastrophe!
"You put more scraps of paper into all the door pins. The window frame is too old. I will blow it open if it sways too much. I will go find them two and come back!"
Mr. Dong said and was about to open the door and go out. The moment he pulled out the latch and opened the door, I saw that the white hair on his forehead was blown to the point of standing on end. What was the wind outside?
How big!
I also wanted to follow him to find someone, but Dr. Lin held my arm tightly to stop me from messing around. I always felt something bad in my heart. Hai Feng was so arrogant that even a fool should have noticed something abnormal, let alone a weirdo.
Have they been staying outside all this time? It stands to reason that with their cleverness, they should have noticed the omen and ran back to inform us in advance. But now it has been an hour and a half since they left the small restaurant, so they would not be in such a situation.
You may have lost your way in this small place!
The young prince was not idle. He put wide tapes on the cracked gaps of several windows one after another. When I went over to help him cut them off, I was immediately stunned by the scenery outside the window:
Whether it is the sea, the road or the sky, everything is gray.
This time should have ushered in dawn, with a slight ray of light dispersing the darkness of the night, but the dark clouds covering the sky completely covered the surface of the light source, and everything in the distance was polluted into a deep and shallow mass.
of gray.
In a slightly closer area, those orange lights were wrapped around the lampposts that seemed to be particularly fragile now. They were being tossed around by the strong wind and were about to explode unbearably;
Two or three strong men were holding up a piece of oilcloth and desperately covering a house with a broken roof. It seemed that the typhoon had begun to cause material losses to Tanmen. Those few people were swaying.
He was shouting something, and it seemed that he would be taken away by the big tarpaulin in the next second, and would be blown all the way to the South China Sea!
I was heartbroken to death. In this situation, no one would risk their lives to watch the excitement. Chao Wen knew what on earth they were doing!
"No, I think about it. It's early in the morning when the tide is high in the South China Sea. With such wind and waves, standing on the coast is going to die, but they are busy catching crabs? How is it possible!"
The young prince threw the tape to me, put on a coat and ran towards the door. He opened the door to test it, then turned around and warned me: "Don't go out. No matter how worried you are, just stay there."
, you are too thin, your whole body will be blown up to the sky!"
I could only nod my head and watch him slam the door shut, and move forward with great difficulty in the strong wind, but not far away, Mr. Dong's figure happened to come around.
They squatted half-crouched, grabbed each other's arms, touched their heads, and then headed in another direction together.
What? Master Dong hasn’t found anyone yet?
There is only such a large area here. Even if you get lost, you should be back by squinting during this turbulent hour!
The hotel owner huffed and ran downstairs to look for the wooden strips again. When he saw that Dr. Lin and I were the only two people left in the hall, he was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "You foreigners have come all the way to Tan."
He committed suicide at the door? When did this happen and he kept running out! I don’t care, anyway, I only provide you with this place to stay and don’t care about your life or death. I hope you bought insurance!"
I was so anxious that I couldn't even sit still. I could only pace back and forth while standing to increase my anxiety. Everyone had just arrived at the destination and no activities had started yet. Why did I encounter a natural disaster? I was at a loss.
?
"Maybe they went to hide in another house nearby. Stop biting your nails and relax." Dr. Lin took my hand out of his mouth and comforted me softly.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound and it was raining!
For God's sake, please stop making trouble for us, okay?
The rain became extremely impactful under the influence of the wind. I heard the sound of them hitting the glass, which was like machine gun fire. And in just five or six minutes, the rain increased in intensity and became denser.
, the ray of dawn in the distance outside the window was quickly swallowed up, and the whole world retreated back to the night of a few hours ago.
This hotel is really old. The boss was running back and forth upstairs, busy repairing the damaged roof. A few leaks of rainwater drifted down from the stairs, and soon formed a reflection on the ground.
There was a flash of light, and the door was knocked with great force. I immediately jumped up and ran to open the door, and then something like a witch knocked me aside, quickly closed the door and rushed in!
I was shocked! Dr. Lin, who came later, helped me and kicked the black witch far away. When I heard him let out a low hoarse "**", I realized that this black witch was
The witch is a rat!
He fell to the ground, turned over and looked up at us. He was covered with a canvas he got from nowhere, but he was still soaked.
I was angry and excited. After his breathing subsided for a few seconds, I quickly asked, "Where's Brother Dao? Didn't you meet Mr. Dong and Wang Doudou? Which direction did you come from?"
The mouse seemed to be choking. He scratched his throat and calmed down for a while. He turned his head and looked at the empty hall, then looked at my anxious expression, and then replied: "**, what's wrong... No one is there? Get out."
Are you looking for me?"
Hearing what he said, I immediately became anxious: "What do you mean? You haven't met our people? What about Brother Dao? You won't leave him and run away first!"
Rat had a look of astonishment on his face. Just as he opened his mouth to explain, Dr. Lin walked back to the door and said, "Here we come."
With a gust of wind that blew me to the point where I could stand unsteadily, two water ghosts came in, one behind the other! Mr. Dong’s hair was spread out, and all the hair strands were stuck tightly to his face, as if he was about to be strangled.
My own female ghost! The young prince’s bald head was shiny and shiny after being rinsed. Their clothes were completely soaked from the inside out, and even the shoe shells were leaking water!
Dr. Lin glanced outside and hung up the door bolt again.
Just two of them came back? Then there was still no trace of the weirdo!
The searching duo were very tired. Mr. Dong coughed violently, and the snot and tears mixed with the rain on his hair dripped downwards. The young prince let out a long breath and pointed at Brother Mouse next to him and cursed.
stand up:
"You know you're coming back! You went out to catch crabs during a typhoon. What an idiot! You almost killed both of us, you know? Where did you go!!!"
He glanced around the hall and his tone suddenly dropped: "Brother Dao didn't come back with him?"
Brother Mouse was a little confused by the typhoon and the scolding. He replied in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Why are you asking me about Brother Dao's whereabouts? Didn't he stay here and sleep with you?
