Chapter 11117
Yang Ruoqing sent Da'an away and glanced at the wind and rain outside. After changing her outfit, she left a message with Blacksmith Luo and plunged into the night and wind and rain.
Out of the courtyard gate, walking on the road leading to the village, the cold wind and heavy rain hit her face, like knives hitting her, the pain was so painful that she couldn't open her eyes.
Fortunately, she was prepared and took out the goggles she prepared in advance and put them on her eyes.
Speaking of these goggles, that’s interesting.
Yang Ruoqing had wanted these goggles a long time ago, but she could never find them. Luo Fengtang brought them back from the capital this time.
According to him, Chen'er got this thing and bought it at a high price from Western merchants at sea.
I bought four, two for my two younger brothers, and two for my mother and sister.
The quality of these goggles is very good. They can not only protect your eyes in windy and rainy weather, but also allow you to see while swimming.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are still young and have not started to learn to swim yet. When they learn to swim, they will come in handy.
But Yang Ruoqing's goggles have begun to come in handy now.
Wearing goggles and a raincoat, she walked in the wind and rain.
It is impossible to hold an umbrella in this weather, as it can be overturned in an instant.
While walking past the pond, Yang Ruoqing saw that the water level in the pond under the pond had obviously risen a lot. It used to be nearly six meters away from the pond, but now it is less than three meters away.
The water level has risen a bit scary. It has been raining all day and night and is this all? If the pond is like this, what will it look like in the river at the foot of the mountain behind the village?
She couldn't think about that now. The ground was slippery. If she was distracted again and slipped into the pond, not to mention rushing to Luo Fengtang's aid, even her own life and safety would be threatened.
Finally we passed the pond safely and arrived near the old maple tree.
On this night of lightning and thunder, smart people will try to stay away from this old maple tree, because the target is too big and can easily trigger thunder.
So Yang Ruoqing tried her best to walk around and keep a certain distance from the old maple tree. Fortunately, there was no thunder and lightning this time.
However, just when she was about to walk out of here, there was a thick muffled sound like stone grinding in the night sky. It was like brewing, but it was not real thunder.
Thunder follows lightning.
"Crack!"
A lightning with green edges and red in the middle, like a huge split branch, suddenly flashed in the night sky above for three seconds.
In these three seconds, everything around me is illuminated as bright as day.
After a brief day, darkness followed, and thunder like a gong fell from the sky in the darkness.
If the lightning just now was going to split the sky into several large pieces, then the thunder really sounded like a huge ferocious beast was entrenched on Cloud City, opening its black hole-like mouth, ready to swallow everything on the ground at any time.
However, at the moment when day and night alternated, Yang Ruoqing saw something hanging upside down on one of the branches of the old maple tree not far away!
That thing was pitch black and looked like a person hanging upside down.
Yang Ruoqing was startled, and her body's instinctive reaction was to dodge back, but the muscle memory of a martial artist made her pull out the nine-bone black gold soft whip from her waist...
Again It was a bolt of lightning.
Several red fireballs rolled down the tree trunks and into the ground.
With the light of the fire, Yang Ruoqing looked at the treetops again, but found nothing!
Could it be that I was dazzled before?
The wind and rain continued to blow, Yang Ruoqing remained vigilant, grabbed the soft whip and quickly left the vicinity of the old maple tree and ran towards the back of the village. It had rained all day, and there was thunder and lightning at night. Every household in the village had already taken shelter under the covers.
In front of nature, human beings are as weak as ants, and their reverence for nature does not differentiate between species.
Especially the sound of thunder crashing overhead, making the earth tremble and the sky collapse.
There is no one in the village. Even the dogs that usually bark the most have closed their mouths, curled up in the firewood piles and corners with their tails curled up...
So big The village has lost all its popularity and vitality tonight.
Yang Ruoqing has no intention of thinking about that. The wine she cares about most now is Luo Fengtang, and her father Yang Huazhong...
She left the village. Behind the village was a large field of farmland.
You have to cross a field bank that is more than two meters wide and 100 meters long before you can walk up to the river dam...
The crops in the field, winter wheat and rapeseed, have just sprouted, and all of them are... soaked in rainwater.
This spring rain is as expensive as oil... This time it is really not as expensive as oil, but it is flooding. The winter wheat and rapeseed of the villagers this season will be ruined.
Yang Ruoqing discovered a strange phenomenon.
That is, the further you go to the river dam at the foot of the mountain, the more violent the wind and rain become, and the more intensive the thunder and lightning becomes.
Walking on the river dam, Yang Ruoqing felt inexplicably frightened when she saw the dim yellow water surging and roaring in the river bed that had almost bottomed out a few days ago.
That frightening feeling, as if someone is holding two pieces of dry ice against your ribs, and the coldness goes all the way down from your chest, making you shiver from the cold...
She didn't even dare to look further into the river. She used her goggles to identify the water below and headed towards Lijiacun.
“Tang Yazi!
"Tangyao!"
Although he knew that her voice would soon be torn and distorted in the wind and rain, and there was only a very small chance that Luo Fengtang could hear it, Yang Ruoqing still shouted.
Because she was always worried that Luo Fengtang was nearby...
She just shouted all the way to the direction of Lijia Village. She didn’t know how long she had walked when she heard a long distance behind her. There was a strange sound coming from a distance.
At first she thought it was thunder and water...
But later she felt that the sound was very strange, like the cry of a buffalo.
However, she had heard too many buffaloes, and there was no other buffalo in the village that could make such a loud noise on such a stormy night.
Besides, cows are very valuable, and people with ordinary conditions simply cannot afford to raise buffaloes.
Many times, several companies work together to raise a buffalo and serve it with delicious food and drink. After all, this is the main labor force. Who is willing to let the buffalo outside on such a bad night?
What is that?
That kind of voice had an indescribable power of intimidation, sadness, irritability, and so much rage...
This made Yang Ruoqing's steps slow down a lot, and her legs seemed to be filled with sadness. She walked slower and slower, and the wind and rain came towards her, forming a wall of wind and rain, blocking her from moving forward.
Even when passing through a slippery section, her foot slipped and she was about to fall into the river.
And the surging river water rushes from top to bottom, and there seems to be huge danger hidden in the river...
