The thunder in the sky continued and became louder and louder, and it felt like it was thundering overhead.

The eldest brother was shivering there, not knowing whether he was cold or scared.

"Second brother, you said we won't die here today, right?"

The thunder was getting louder. The second brother didn't hear what the eldest brother said, he just saw his mouth moving.

"Brother, what did you say?"

The eldest brother had no choice but to whisper in his second brother's ear and say it again.

"How could that be? Stop imagining it."

The second oldest brother practically shouted at the oldest brother, otherwise he wouldn't have heard it.

If I had always made fun of him and was afraid of death, thinking about all these nonsense, it might be possible in the current situation. If I confess here, even if I become a wandering ghost, I will not let my mother go.

The two people huddled together. The thunder became more terrifying. The lightning was as bright as daylight, like a sharp blade falling from the sky to split the earth. The rumbling sound was like the earth roaring because of the crack.

The boss felt his neck getting tighter and tighter and he could hardly breathe, so he quickly pulled the hand off his neck.

"Don't get so close to me, or we'll both be struck at once."

The second brother didn't expect that he would climb onto the eldest brother, so he quickly moved to the side.

Nier looked at the increasing number of lightning nearby. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid, but she thought that she should be safe because of the lightning rod.

It's fine as long as Daddy doesn't come looking for me, otherwise he will be in more danger than me.

Seeing it was raining so heavily outside, Yan Zi was very worried about the safety of Ni'er and Lao San. One was in the field and the other was on the mountain. She hoped that nothing would happen to them.

Suddenly there was a loud thunder, which almost blew up the whole village.

Sure enough, the lightning rod was useful. It struck right there. Nier hugged her shoulders and buried her head in them. She raised her hands and covered her ears, comforting herself, "It's okay, it's okay, it will be over soon."

The eldest and the second oldest were so frightened by the thunder that they couldn't recover for a long time. They had heard about lightning-struck wood before and wanted to get two pieces to exchange for some money, but now they had no idea of ​​doing so at all. They just wanted the rain to stop quickly, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

Nier thought that she should not go to the mountain recently as it rains too frequently and she couldn't risk her life just for some wild vegetables.

The eldest and the second oldest had the same idea and didn't want to encounter the same thing again. Let's just talk about mother's broken chair. If she wants to commit suicide, let her do it. She has bad legs and feet, so she can't cause any trouble.

Whoever wants to come to the mountain can come, but I won’t serve them.

Nier took a while to calm down and slowly raised her head. The thunder gradually became smaller and not as scary as before. She didn't know what happened to her uncle and second uncle. Although she hated them very much, she didn't want to kill them with thunder.

The rain gradually stopped and the dark clouds dispersed. The sky was now dotted with stars and the moon was emitting a soft light, as if reminding us that it was time to go home.

The eldest and the second oldest didn't know if it was because they were scared or squatting, but their legs went weak and they just wanted to go back quickly.

Normally, walking down the mountain is easy, just like taking a walk, but today it felt so difficult.

The ground was covered in mud and water, and there were trees all around blocking the view. Although the sky was clear and the moon was out, it was still difficult to see the road clearly.

The two of them pulled each other and staggered down the mountain.

The third child was walking up the mountain holding a torch. I wonder if Ni'er would be scared being alone in such an environment? Although she is quite brave, she is just a little girl after all.

Nier thought that she had to put away the lightning rod quickly. If someone saw it, she would not be able to explain it. She also had to go back quickly. Her father and mother must be anxious, and she didn't want to make them worry.

Nier found the lightning rod based on her memory, put it away, and took off her raincoat.

These two things were things that no one in my family had ever seen before, and I went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, so I couldn't explain why these two things appeared. I decided to find a safe place to put them.

I'll find a suitable opportunity next time to wear my raincoat.

The eldest and the second son saw a little fire in the distance on their way down the mountain and were very happy.

"Hey, second brother, do you think someone will come to pick us up?"

The second son thought about it and realized that his eldest sister-in-law and his wife still had to take care of the children and cook, especially his eldest sister-in-law who had to take care of his mother who was lying on the kang and unable to move.

The remaining four children would not come looking for anyone with torches, as there was no such thing at home.

A torch is very expensive, consumes a lot of oil, and is wrapped with cloth strips, so it is simply unaffordable, which means it is basically impossible for someone from your family to come and find you.

But there was no one else on the mountain, and when it started raining I shouted a few times, but no one paid any attention to me.

If the village head went up the mountain to look for someone, there would definitely not be just one torch.

Thinking of this, the hairs on my body stood up.

His voice was a little cold, and he said faintly: "Brother, we don't have torches at home."

The eldest brother thinks that it doesn’t matter if it’s not his own home, it can be someone else’s, it’s fine, it’s nice to go down the mountain together as a companion.

The second brother turned his head and glanced at the eldest brother. He couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel that he was very happy. He knew what he was thinking very well. He just wanted to use the torch from someone else's house.

Pour a layer of cold water on him at the right time, "Brother, do you remember that we shouted for a long time but no one responded?"

"Remember. I'm not very old and my memory is very good."

The eldest brother felt that his second brother's words were unpleasant to hear and asked such a nonsensical question.

The second brother felt that his eldest brother did not understand what he meant.

"Then tell me, there is no one on this mountain, where did the torches from the bottom of the mountain come from?"

I reacted instantly and my body tensed up. Yes, this is on a mountain. If we go further in, there are many people buried there. Could the torch be...

His palms were sweaty and he rubbed them on his clothes and swallowed nervously.

"Second... Second brother... Yeah, let's go back quickly."

His voice began to tremble, and his body temperature was even lower than when it rained heavily just now. He felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

The second child cried out "Ouch!" and accidentally sprained his ankle. He squatted down, covered his ankle and rubbed it. It was no big deal and the sprain was not serious, so he could continue walking.

The eldest brother didn't see clearly, his eyes blurred, he heard a shout, and the second brother disappeared.

What happened, what happened.

How could the living person in front of me be gone?

The eldest brother cried a little, stretched out his hands forward, trying to feel the familiar warmth, but there was nothing, "Second... Second brother~"

"Where are you? Don't scare me~"

Seeing that the eldest brother was so timid, the second brother didn't want to scare him, so he stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Ah~"

The boss's shrill scream scared the birds in the distance away.

The second brother was startled by the eldest brother's shout and also let out an "ah"~

Ni'er thought the voices belonged to her uncle and second uncle, and she didn't know what had happened to them.
