In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

The next day, the team hit the road as usual.

Because she didn't want to delay the team's walking, along the way, Jiang Mi also took advantage of the rest of the group to learn to ride a horse with her brother for a while, so by noon, she hadn't learned a quarter of an hour, and was basically in a state of being led by her brother on horseback.

After noon, the area where the team entered gradually became densely populated.

Jiang Mi lifted the carriage curtain and looked out curiously. The area in front of her was a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides, with plains and hills in between. Perhaps because of the humidity, the trees here are exceptionally green, and the women I saw along the way were also fair-skinned, and seemed to be more beautiful than women in other places.

Just as the convoy was driving for another hour, a large village appeared in front of everyone. As far as the eye can see, the village can be heard in the distance with the sounds of chickens, dogs and children.

Lord Wang commanded several knights. At that moment, the procession stopped, and the knights rode towards the village.

After a while, the knights came back, only to see one of them rushing out of the queue and saying loudly to Lord Wang: "Lord Hui, there are villages within a radius of thirty miles here, namely Huangjia Village, Gujia Village, and Qianjia Village. The only market town here is more than forty or fifty miles away. ”

The knight leader looked up at the sky where there were many dark clouds, turned to Lord Wang, and said, "My lord, I am afraid that it will rain in this situation, so it is better to stay in this village for one night." ”

Lord Wang replied, "It's okay." In a blink of an eye, he confessed again: "We have a lot of people, so we can go directly to the big families in the village to spend the night, and remember to give more money." ”

The knights hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

After a while, the knights went and returned again, and led everyone into the house of the patriarch of the Huang clan.

Because this group of people seemed to be both rich and expensive, the patriarch of the Huang clan did not dare to slack off at all, and he took the villagers to respectfully welcome everyone to move in.

The next thing, Jiang Mi didn't understand, she had been subverting on the road for a long time, she had already felt that the cracks in her bones were sour, and she didn't even eat dinner, so she went to bed after a hasty wash.

Jiang Mi woke up in a burst of thunder.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the lightning outside one after another, and the torrential rain that smashed the roof tiles made people panic even more.

Jiang Mi was awakened by the torrential rain, and there were lights and human voices in the room next to him, and after a while, Jiang Wu's worried voice came from outside the door, "Ah Mi, are you awake?"

Jiang Mi saw the lightning that pierced the sky outside, and hurriedly shouted, "Brother, go back quickly, be careful of being struck by lightning." ”

Jiang Wu said outside the door: "I don't worry about you. Mi, open the door, brother will accompany you for a while. ”

Jiang Mi was also a little scared at this time, and when she heard this, she immediately jumped off the couch, and after draping a piece of clothing, she opened the door and welcomed Jiang Wu in.

Jiang Wu's body was already wet with rain, he quickly turned around and closed the door tightly, and said, "This rain is really scary. When I came over, I vaguely heard the daughter of the patriarch of the Huang clan crying, as if it was strange that there was too much rain this year, and I was worried that there would be flash floods. ”

Jiang Mi asked, "So, it's easy to flash floods here?"

Jiang Wu nodded and said, "That's what those villagers said. "It's easy

The brother and sister didn't say a word here, and the sound of the rain outside seemed to be getting quieter a little, looking at the night sky where there was no thunder and lightning for a while, Jiang Mi listened for a while and said, "Someone is drinking outside." ”

Jiang Wu also listened.

Just as the brother and sister were listening intently, suddenly, an earthquake and a rumbling sound came from the west, and in the quiet night, the sound was so loud that it made the night quiet.

The boom boom did not stop, but grew deeper and closer. In Jiang Mi's frightened heart, suddenly, a crying, hoarse shout pierced the night sky, "Oh no! It's a mountain in the west...... Run, folks, run, the torrent is coming!"

The torrent is coming!

The man said the flash flood was coming!

In an instant, the night sky was torn, countless torches were quickly lit, and countless running, crying, and shouting fathers and mothers came one after another. The sounds were so loud and chaotic that they drowned out the sound of the rain.

Just as Jiang Mi's brothers and sisters hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out, Lord Wang and other dignitaries also ran out surrounded by knights. As soon as everyone stood still, the patriarch of the Huang clan stumbled and rushed in, shouting at them: "Ladies and gentlemen, the torrent is coming!

The patriarch of the Huang clan was still screaming here, and the door behind him was slammed open.

The patriarch of the Huang clan hurriedly turned his head and saw the young man rushing in, he shouted urgently: "Evil son, who told you to run here?

As soon as he rushed to the Huang clan patriarch, he shouted urgently: "Uncle, listen, listen!"

When the patriarch of the Huang clan stared at him in bewilderment, the young man shouted loudly: "Uncle, that voice is not right, it seems to be a little smaller, and it has not approached us here!"

The patriarch of the Huang clan froze, and in the blink of an eye, he lay on the ground and listened.

After a while, the patriarch of the Huang clan jumped up, he rushed to the young man's side, grabbed him by the collar, and ordered: "Quick, quickly take a few people to take a look." ”

"Yes!" the young man received the order, and immediately turned and rushed out.

As soon as the young man left, the patriarch of the Huang clan fell on the ground and listened. After a while, when he stood up again, he was already smiling. I saw him salute Lord Wang, and said with a smile: "Let the noble man see the joke." It's really raining too much this time, and half of the rain in previous years has been less than this year, and there have been several landslides. ”

Seeing that he was smiling again, Jiang Mi and the others knew that it seemed that the crisis of the flash flood had passed.

Since there was no longer any danger, the people who had been outside in the rain for so long went back to their rooms. When Jiang Mi changed into clean clothes and walked out, he happened to see the young man named Evil Er with five or six villagers, reporting to the patriarch of the Huang clan and Lord Wang, "Uncle, my lords, the matter of Xishan has been clarified. It turned out that the loud noises just now were indeed flash floods. But I don't know what happened, just in the direction of the torrent, a deep ravine was cracked on a mountain, and the flood water flowed into the ravine. Speaking of this, the young man said happily: "With this ravine, we don't have to be afraid of any mountain floods in the future." Uncle, is this a blessing in disguise?"

The young man's words caused the villagers to laugh. On this night, Jiang Mi slept on the collapse, and he could also hear the happy chatter and laughter of the villagers.

The next day, when Jiang Mi and the others said goodbye after breakfast, the patriarch of the Huang clan and several patriarchs and villagers who went to the scene early in the morning all described them differently. Especially the patriarch of the Huang clan, his mouth kept muttering, "What a good mountain, it's actually cracked! And I didn't see the ground moving, why did the mountain crack? Why did such a deep ditch suddenly appear?"

A few old men were also whispering there, and I don't know who saw Lord Wang and a few other powerful people at a glance, and suddenly shouted at the top of their voices: "I know why the mountain will crack and the flash flood will be diverted." That's because God knew that we had a noble person here, and he deliberately blasted the mountain peak with thunder, causing a flood!"

Not to mention, as soon as this statement came out, many villagers believed it, and in their strange eyes, the knights' backs gradually straightened and straightened, and Lord Wang and several other powerful people were also red-faced. And until the team went far away, everyone seemed to be able to feel the awe of the villagers casting on their bodies.
