I’ll Quit Being a God-Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Storm in Post Office

After the valley rain, the weather had become a lot warmer.

But in the heat, the rainfall gradually increases, and sometimes it will even last for more than ten days.

When the rainstorm falls, the hot earth will gradually return to the cold again.

At the edge of the desolate galloping Road, there stands a deserted post house, which seems to merge with the dark mountains and forests.

There are not just a few such post houses in the Fire Pass Country.

But this kind of area far away from the city has always been uninhabited. If someone dares to live in this lonely wilderness, in a few days, ferocious beasts will enter the house and eat people.

However, the mountains between the cities are high and the roads are far away. Those traveling merchants need to stay out of the rain and rest overnight.

So on the long road, there will be such unmanned post houses along the way.

Although it is uninhabited and not managed, the house is like an empty room for business travelers to rest.

When the business travelers check in, they will also consciously maintain the facilities of the post house and clean it before leaving, so the post house is not dirty.

By this time, it was evening.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and pale lightning flickered in the clouds.

The light among the mountains is gloomy, and it is not dark yet, but the road has become blurred and dim. The cold wind, whistling in the wilderness, was a precursor of the coming rainstorm.

But in such bad weather, two figures appear far away on the desolate road.

A little girl about ten years old, with a dark blue sword on her back, looked serious. The long silver hair fell, but there were a pair of sharp animal ears on the top of the head.

Obviously young, but the little girl has a cold and gorgeous temperament, just like the faint plum blossoms proudly blooming in the winter wind.

And next to the little girl was a huge white wolf. It appeared much bigger than the ordinary wild wolves that could be found in the mountain. Walking on the deserted road with the little girl who was carrying the sword, the white wolf carried a hint of dignity in his dark golden pupils that people did not dare to look at directly.

The appearance of one girl and one beast broke the tranquility in the wilderness.

The little girl looked at the post office that was almost integrated with the night ahead and asked, "Lord Wolf God, there is a post office in front of us. Do we want to go in and have a rest?"

The huge white wolf nodded and said, "It's going to rain. It's great to have a shelter from the rain. Let's rest here tonight."

With that, one girl and one wolf walked towards the post office.

This post house has no courtyard wall, and the house is directly built on the roadside.

After opening the closed wooden door and entering, the space in the house is huge, and the roof of the beam is extremely high. If you are not picky, it is not a problem to squeeze 40 or 50 people overnight at the same time.

Behind the house, there is a barn with a canopy to cover the rain.

When entering the main house, they saw traces of charcoal fire on the ground. It seems that there were many people who lived in this post a few days ago.

Xiao Ai found a cleaner corner and cleaned it. After cleaning it, she put two green banana leaves on the ground. She didn't want Lord Wolf God to sit directly on the dusty ground.

Then, before the rainstorm came down, she went to the roadside to cut a pine tree and drag it back. Under the eaves, the little girl waved her hands and the cold light flashed, and the tough trunk was cut into pieces by sharp and slender nails and turned into firewood.

After all this, the sharp nails growing on her slender fingers silently retracted.

Then, smoke rose in the room, and the light of the fire lit up the dark and deserted hall.

Lu Heng lay down beside the fire and closed his eyes, just like an ordinary wolf asleep.

Outside, the wind roared, the White Lightning cut through the night sky, and the terrible roar sounded from time to time.

The torrential rain has fallen on the wilderness and mountains. The cold rain constantly hit the eaves of the post house, making a crisp sound.

The little girl dismantled a hare under the eaves, peeled and skinned it, and then let the rain wash out the blood on the rabbit meat. Only then did she skewer it with a stick and bake it next to the fire pit.

Lu Heng opened his eyes and took a look. He saw the little girl baking rabbit meat and then closed his eyes again.

This rabbit was caught by Xiao Ai near the road in the morning, and the little girl carried it away for a day. Lu Heng thought that the little girl was full of childlike innocence and wanted to raise this rabbit.

After all, children have no resistance to cute animals.

But he didn't expect Xiao Ai to hold the rabbit all the way, so that she could barbecue when they settled down at night…

In the fire, the burning campfire made a crackle from time to time.

Outside, there were howling storms, lightning and thunder, giving people the illusion that the roof of the post house was about to be lifted by the wind.

The little girl carefully roasted the rabbit in her hand and prepared dinner for Lord Wolf God.

She doesn't need to eat every day, and neither does Lord Wolf God. However, during the trip, Xiao Ai found that Lord Wolf God was very interested in food.

So every time after dark, when camping, the little girl will prepare some food for Lu Heng. Just because of the restrictions, it's basically just some barbecue.

The little girl regretted that she hadn't known that Lord Wolf God liked to eat, she should have brought a small pot when she went out. In this way, you can change the taste for Lord Wolf God from time to time.

With this in mind, she decided that if she passed the city next, she would buy a pot in the city and carry it with her.

Lu Heng, beside the fire, still closed his eyes and knew nothing about the little girl's thoughts.

The quiet bonfire has been burning for a long time, and the rabbit meat in Xiao Ai's hand has been roasted to be shiny and fragrant.

But at this time, in the rainstorm outside the house, suddenly there was a dull sound of footsteps.

Dong Dong——

The dull footsteps seemed to be the heavy beasts walking in the rain. Although covered by the rain and far away, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai heard it.

The little girl looked in the direction of the road and frowned slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a group of businessmen appeared before her.

The number of people is not small. A group of about 20 businessmen drove five huge beasts out of the rain.

The beasts have fat bodies, short limbs, rough skins, and sharp horns above their thick nostrils, which look a little ferocious.

Xiao Ai has seen this kind of beast, named rhinoceros, with a large and heavy body and a gentle personality. Even if they encounter lions and tigers in the wilderness, the rhinoceros will not be as scared as ordinary pack horses, so many traders will raise it as a pack animal.

Now the one who drives five rhinoceros here is an ordinary commercial team.

They were all dressed in coir raincoats and rushed in the rainstorm. But the wind and rain were violent, and even wearing coir raincoats, they were still drenched with rain. When they saw the light of the fire in the post in front of them, no one was surprised.

After all, it's normal for them to meet travelers at the roadside post office.

The merchants drove five rhinoceros to the gate of the post office. They were preparing to disassemble the goods on the rhino's back, but they saw a girl and a wolf in the house.

The huge white wolf lay by the fire, his eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be asleep. But that huge body size made people dare not ignore him.

On the side of the White Wolf, the young girl was carrying a dark blue ancient sword, quietly turning over and roasting the barbecue on the fire. When the people stood outside the door, she just glanced coldly and looked away, as if she was not interested in the people.

But the girl's indifferent gaze made everyone take a sharp breath and feel great pressure.

In such a wild rainstorm, there is such a strange person and a wolf…

The businessmen looked at each other with some uneasiness in their eyes.

The leader hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, he walked into the door and arched his hand, "We are passing merchants, and we are going to Baishi city. But there is a rainstorm today, and it is difficult to travel in the wilderness, I wonder if you can make it convenient for us to take shelter from the rain?"

The leader of the caravan lowered his posture for fear of offending the little girl in front of him.

In such a wilderness, when you meet such a strange person and wolf, any normal people would know that they must be extraordinary.

Without this violent storm, they didn't dare to ask, but directly drove the pack animals away.

The code of businessmen has always been to prefer camping than to annoy people of unknown origin.

But now the rainstorm is pouring, and this post house is the only place nearby that can take shelter from the rain. The leader of the caravan had to ask nervously.

After hearing his request, the little girl beside the fire just glanced coldly and said, "This post is built here to facilitate merchants. Uncles, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

With that, the little girl ignored them and continued to look after her barbecue.

The leader of the caravan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked, and then asked everyone to quickly unload the beast on its back and move it into the house, and then drove the beast to the rear corral to shelter from the rain.

After all this, the merchants returned to the main house and carefully lit the firewood.

The whole process was cautious, and the businessmen tried to keep their footsteps and conversations low, for fear of disturbing the girl and the wolf nearby.
