Chapter 94: Storm Blocks the Road
I knew my cousin was probably tired, after all, this ritual had consumed most of his energy.
I didn't bother him and just fiddled with my resurrection bead for a long time.
This soul-restoring bead is really beautiful. When you hold it in your hand, it is completely black.
When you shine a light on it, it turns dark green.
The market outside was still going on, and the shouts of the stall owners could be faintly heard coming from the market.
But it was almost time to disperse now, and many luxury cars had been driven back from the gas stations by Xiaosha fans.
Just as the owners of those luxury cars were about to leave, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
As soon as the weather changes, the first spring rain in the city is about to arrive. The first spring rain is usually a downpour. If you go down the mountain now, you will definitely be unable to move.
The abbot asked everyone to stay in the temple for one more day, and he also asked the young monks who cooked in the kitchen to prepare more vegetarian dishes.
I waited until it was time for dinner in the afternoon, but my cousin didn't wake up.
"Let's go to the dining hall to eat first, and then we can bring him some food later. I don't think he will wake up for a while."
Dong Jing and I walked out of the room together, and we walked towards the dining hall.
I met Mingyan on the road, and his foot looked much better.
"How did it get better so quickly?" I was a little confused.
He greeted us and walked towards us: "I don't know what medicine the monk used, but now I can walk, just slower."
He scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I really troubled you the day before yesterday. If it weren't for you, I would have died on the road."
I smiled and waved my hands: "That's fine. If it were me sitting on the ground and you were driving, you would be the same. Let's go, I'll accompany you to the dining hall."
We talked a lot on the way.
He was a little annoyed. If his foot hadn't been injured, he would have probably been able to attract a lot of business at today's matchmaking conference.
After all, some stall owners really have no way to sell the treasures they have, so they can only rely on external forces, such as his intermediary company.
"There is always more business to do, and your health is more important." Dong Jing comforted.
Soon we arrived at the dining hall. Dong Jing was responsible for helping Mingyan find a place to sit down, while I went to get the food.
After eating and drinking, we sat in the cafeteria and chatted for a while.
After all, my cousin hadn't woken up yet, there was no sign of rain for the time being, and Mingyan had difficulty walking, so they sat in the cafeteria and chatted.
"There is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with ..."
Mingyan hesitated and looked particularly embarrassed.
"Just tell me what's on your mind. We're all men, so what's there to be embarrassed about?" I looked at his embarrassed face and found it a little funny.
"My car was towed away when I came here. Now I can't walk back down the mountain. After all, my leg injury hasn't healed yet. Can you take me with you when you go down the mountain?"
What Mingyan said made sense. Since we brought him up the mountain, he wouldn't have a car to take when he goes down.
But I know that my cousin is still very wary of him, so I have to ask my cousin about this first.
Dong Jing listened and said faster than me: "The car is not ours either. Maybe we should ask our uncle first."
"That's right, that's right. I didn't have the time to apologize to your uncle that day. I'll go back with you and tell him about this matter and discuss it with him." Ming Yan said.
"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, so just forget it. He just fell asleep and he may not wake up yet." I waved my hand.
In fact, if there is anything, I can go back to the dormitory to discuss it with my cousin first, and then call him to inform him. There is no need for him to follow us back and forth.
But Mingyan insisted on going back with us, and he had to thank his cousin in person.
We couldn't persuade him, so we could only slowly take him to our dormitory.
His bedroom was on the east side, close to the dining hall.
Our dormitory is on the west side, closer to the gate.
It was hard for him to walk all the way.
We were halfway through the journey when the weather changed.
Compared to the dark clouds before, it is now even worse.
After a while, hail started to fall.
I have never heard of hail in spring, so we had no choice but to take a shortcut back to the dormitory.
When I arrived at the dormitory, my cousin was already awake.
While he was eating the vegetarian dishes I brought back, he was chatting with Mingyan.
I don’t know if it’s because the Soul-Restoring Pearl has been found, but my cousin is in a very good mood and he no longer has the same wariness towards Mingyan as before.
"That's fine. We should leave tomorrow when the rain stops. A little monk just came over and told me that our car has returned from the gas station and the tank is full." My cousin touched his nose and said with a smile.
After hearing what he said, Mingyan thanked him repeatedly.
Mingyan sat in our room until eight or nine o'clock. The rain continued to get heavier, so he had no choice but to lie down in our room.
"I'm so sorry to bother you." Mingyan has always been very polite to us.
This kind of politeness always makes me feel a little strange. After all, men in the north are carefree and don't pay attention to details. But I don't know why he is always so polite.
I frowned slightly, and he noticed my displeasure and asked me what happened.
I casually said there were mosquitoes in the room.
There were indeed mosquitoes in the room, and it was raining in the spring, which is the easiest time for mosquitoes to breed.
My blood is special. In addition to being able to exorcise demons, if it is eaten by ordinary mosquitoes, it is very likely to be a health-care service for them.
"I have an incense burner here. It can repel mosquitoes when you light it." Ming Yan said as he took out something like a small candle from his pocket.
I was a little surprised. Why would a man have something like this on his body?
He added : "There are a lot of mosquitoes on this high mountain. Did you not collect any information when you came here?"
I was stunned for a moment, it turned out that I was ignorant.
After lighting the aromatherapy, I really felt that all the mosquitoes in the room disappeared.
I am really tired today. I feel drowsy when I smell the scent of lavender.
Strangely enough, I slept until dawn.
I stretched and sat up, and Mingyan was no longer beside me.
My cousin was still sleeping in the bed next to me. Seeing his sleeping posture, I was a little curious.
He looked like he was fast asleep, but he had already slept for the entire afternoon yesterday. How could he sleep so well?
I pushed him and he slowly woke up.
"Hmm? My head hurts..."
Seeing his dazed expression after waking up, I laughed and joked, "Old people are not suitable for sleeping too much."
