Chapter 228: The Umbrella
Standing at the head of the bridge, Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, and at some point, the oil-paper umbrella that was blown into the distance by the wind and rain flew in the air and fell into his hands.
Looking at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, Liu Xiu shook his head lightly and smiled, without his care, the relatively fragile oil-paper umbrella obviously couldn't withstand such wind and rain, and now it is seriously damaged.
He had no intention of discarding it, and he closed it and held it in his hand.
"Actually, that's not bad," he whispered, and walked away.
Soaking wet, the rain was running down his cheeks and hair, he didn't care, let the wind and rain blow, as if this would make his mood more peaceful, and one step had disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.
Because he was not in a hurry, Liu Xiu walked relatively fast, walked forward in the wind and rain, and unconsciously came to the outside of Linbian Village.
The sky has completely darkened, the wind and rain are mixed and you can't see your fingers, occasionally lightning pierces the sky, reflecting the sky and the earth in a brilliant white, and the outline of Linbian Village flickered in Liu Xiu's sight.
The village was built on higher ground, and the surging river outside the village rushed by, and Liu Xiu estimated that the river would not be able to threaten the village if it soared tenfold.
"Unfortunately, I don't know how much the fields along the coast will be washed away after this rainstorm, but fortunately, the grain has been harvested, and the river embankment that the villagers have worked hard to strengthen will probably have to be repaired after the heavy rain......
His mind flickered, seeing that there was no big problem here, Liu Xiu silently observed, and his figure flashed into the sky, heading towards the depths of the mountain.
The area covered by this rainstorm was too large for Liu Xiu to estimate, and the depths of the mountains, which are nearly 2,000 miles away from Qingliu Town, were not spared.
The rain gathered into a rushing torrent and went out of the mountain, and even the water level of the lake where Mo Ling lived did not rise much, and the rainstorm had little impact on the place.
Hanging the broken oil-paper umbrella on the eaves of the bamboo building and dripping water, Liu Xiu took a set of dry clothes to the hot springs on the snowy mountain and took a good soak before returning to the bamboo building refreshed.
He hadn't eaten for most of the day, he was a little hungry, I don't know if it was affected by the wind and rain outside, he wasn't in the mood to make too many tricks, so he just cooked a bowl of noodles.
After eating tastelessly, he came to the second floor to make a cup of tea after washing the dishes and chopsticks, and slowly read a yellowed book on a slightly flickering oil lamp.
Liu Xiu had already finished reading the books on martial arts that Xia Haitang sent him, and understood them to become his accumulation of resources in martial arts.
Once Liu Xiu was just practicing nameless body cultivation skills, his physique was growing terroristly from the inside out, almost limitless, but now with these basic knowledge of martial arts, coupled with his terrifying ability to understand and analyze and even innovate, he seems to have no change on the outside, but in fact, there is jaw-dropping progress every day.
How much progress has been made now, I'm afraid only Liu Xiu himself knows.
To be honest, Xia Haitang's own cultivation may be terrible in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, it is like that in front of some people, the books on martial arts she sent are already precious secrets in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Liu Xiu, it is only the basics.
However, what Liu Xiu himself lacked was these basic knowledge, and when he used these basic knowledge, Liu Xiu himself was extremely surprised by the combat power that his incomparably terrifying physical fitness could show.
In fact, Liu Xiu himself doesn't care much about these things in terms of force growth, if he can, he prefers to live a heartless life every day.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to specialize in boring fights and kills, and make two delicious side dishes and take a sip of wine?
Late at night, Liu Xiu put down the book and pushed open the window to look in the direction of the lake, the wind mixed with a little rain poured into the room, and the lights would be extinguished at any time when they swayed in the wind.
Occasionally, under the light of lightning, torrential rain pours on the surface of the lake, and the once dreamlike night scene is temporarily lost.
"Habit is really a very tangled problem, there is no familiar picture, no familiar breath, no familiar eyes...... originally a little annoying, but now it is a little uncomfortable, tsk......"
Shaking his head, Liu Xiu closed the window and went to bed.
I don't know how long I slept, Liu Xiu, who was sleeping in a daze, subconsciously felt a little cool, and he subconsciously pulled the quilt over himself before waking up.
But after a while, the chill became heavier, and then he woke up, and the storm outside the house still did not stop at all.
"It's only the season of early autumn, even the stormy night won't wake me up, and with my physique, it's already cold and hot......"
Sitting on the bed and muttering to himself, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately got out of bed and went to the window, pushed open the window and looked in the direction of the lake.
The lake at night was no different from before he went to sleep, but looking at Liu Xiu's face over there, a smile subconsciously appeared.
Because he obviously felt that the source of the coolness in the mountains came from there.
In this way, the season that should not have been cold made him feel cold, and it could only be the movement of the sleeping Mo Ling in the lake.
Before the smile appeared on his face, Liu Xiu frowned slightly.
Is such a change a good thing or a bad thing for Mo Ling?
Liu Xiu didn't know, he couldn't find out, and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to help.
Not long after staying by the window, Liu Xiu closed the window and continued to sleep, he knew that he couldn't help, and it was just asking for trouble to think about these problems, so he had to silently hope that Mo Ling's situation would develop in a good direction.
I don't know how Mo Ling is doing, and how long will he sleep......
Early the next morning, Liu Xiu finished his usual things, silently observed the lake for a while, got up and went to the town outside the mountain.
Compared to last night, the chill from the lake is heavier.
The wind and rain are still the same, and there is no intention of stopping.
On this day, Liu Xiu's hospital still did not have doctors and patients to come to the door, on this day, the stone bridge outside Qingliu Town that did not know how many years had existed was flooded and even destroyed......
The rain rained for three days, and on the third day, it weakened a little, but it still didn't stop completely.
Half of Aoyagi Town was damaged in three days of torrential rain, thousands of houses were destroyed by floods, affecting tens of thousands of people, and the whole town was shrouded in a gloomy cloud.
It was a rainstorm that had not been seen in nearly a thousand years, the old men of the town said.
Standing on a high ground and looking at it, the land is full of turbid rivers, and it seems that the whole world has become a country.
In the face of such a disaster, the strength of the individual is too pale, although the big families in the town try their best to organize people to help the residents, and even Linjiang City has sent people, but in the face of natural disasters, there is still nothing to be done.
This rainstorm seems to be God's anger punishing the world......
Regarding this disaster, although Liu Xiu sighed in his heart, he was helpless, what could he do? He could do nothing but revive the lucky ones who happened to be drowned.
Liu Xiu is more concerned about the changes in the mountains.
In the past few days, the mountains have become colder and colder, so cold that he almost can't sleep at night, obviously it is the early autumn season, he exhaled in the bamboo building in the mountains and formed a white mist, and his physique does not know how many times more than ordinary people, his skin has goosebumps, like ordinary people in cold storage.
On the fifth day of the rainstorm, when the wind stopped and the rain fell, Liu Xiu, standing on the bamboo tower, found that the vast lake over there actually began to freeze!
No, it shouldn't have started to freeze, it should have been frozen a long time ago, but the ice started from the depths of the lake at the beginning and he didn't notice it, and it didn't spread to the surface of the water until today.
"It seems that this lake has the potential to be frozen, and the phenomenon of freezing has a tendency to spread to the surrounding areas......" Looking at the lake that had been frozen for most of it, Liu Xiu muttered tangledly.
It's okay if it's just an ordinary winter, but this time the icing problem is definitely caused by Mo Ling, and the chill in the air not only acts on the surface of the body, but also penetrates into the soul, making Liu Xiu feel a huge sense of crisis in his heart, if he continues to stay here, he will die!
What happened to Mo Ling? Why is this happening?
Liu Xiu didn't know about this.
After persisting for another day, Liu Xiu couldn't help it, and he decided to leave here temporarily.
But where can you go if you leave here? The town of Aoyagi is now full of grief and fear, and there will be no business in the hospital, and he will not be able to help with the reconstruction work after the wind and rain have stopped......
Looking at the lake that had been completely frozen, Liu Xiu thought for a while and muttered: "It's better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, although autumn is the season when everything is withering, but the scenery of the autumn mountains and red leaves is also quite interesting, and after the rainstorm is a catastrophe, although my ability is limited, but I can't say that I can help many people along the way."
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu, who couldn't stay in the mountains at all, immediately took action.
When I first traveled, I found out the back basket and filled it with some bottles and cans, which were all kinds of potions and pills that I used to prepare when I was bored, maybe I could use them on the road, and then I brought two books to pass the time in my spare time, and then I brought two sets of clothes to work.
After thinking about it, Liu Xiu still brought the erhu with him, and it was not bad to come to relieve boredom when no one was around.
When he was done, he closed the door of the bamboo building, looked in the direction of the lake, and called for a wooden board to write a sentence.
"If you go out on a long trip, the return date is uncertain, if you wake up early, don't worry"
Hang the wooden plank on the door, and Liu Xiu is ready to go.
However, at this time, the oil-paper umbrella that Liu Xiu had hung on the eaves for a few days and had almost forgotten flew to him, which was not Liu Xiu's own doing.
Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, the oil-paper umbrella floated in front of Liu Xiu, the damaged oil-paper flew up and turned into fragments and landed, and then under Liu Xiu's gaze, the umbrella bone began to freeze with a click, and the thin ice quickly replaced the umbrella oilpaper, a faint blue light flashed, and the fan formed by the ice cube was no different from the ordinary white oil-paper in Liu Xiu's eyes.
Then, the umbrella closed and floated quietly in front of Liu Xiu.
Witnessing this miraculous situation, Liu Xiu did not panic, and after a little hesitation, he took this special umbrella in his hand, and there was no cold feeling when he caressed the umbrella, as if it was an ordinary oil-paper umbrella.
Hanging the umbrella on the edge of the back basket, Liu Xiu waved at the frozen lake and said, "Thank you for your umbrella, I'll come back when I go out for a walk, let's go."
As he spoke, Liu Xiu stood up and flew towards the distant mountain.
The moment Liu Xiu left, he obviously felt that he could no longer feel the slightest breath of Mo Ling, and it seemed that she had completely fallen into a deep sleep until that moment, and she had actually been secretly paying attention to Liu Xiu before.
Are you worried that the people from the Temple of Haven will come to me for trouble?
Liu Xiu, who left, said secretly in his heart, and his mood was a little complicated.
He understood what Mo Ling meant.
You're going to go far away, and I can't accompany you, but I hope that umbrella can provide you with a little shelter......
Maybe I'll be able to leave her for the time being so that I can devote myself to recovering from her injuries, right?
When Liu Xiu left, the chill of the frozen lake exploded more than ten times at once, but even if it did, the frozen range was limited to the lake.
With the lake as the center, the icy aura spreads for thousands of meters, and the occasional bird passes by in the sky, which instantly turns into ice sculptures and falls into pieces.
It's like a forbidden area for life!
Liu Xiu left the deep mountains, came to the town medical center, hung the phrase 'going out for a long trip and returning uncertainly' on the gate, and then began his second real journey to this world......
