Huge waves in the East China Sea.

At the first line of the sea and sky, a large group of dark clouds suddenly tumbled and rolled, covering the sky and the sun in a blink of an eye.

"Click......" A palpitating serpentine lightning streaked across the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened, and the sudden alternation of day and night was only a moment's effort.

The city of Haizhou fell into darkness, and the pedestrians on the streets were running in a chaotic manner, or busily running to their homes, or busy looking for a place to escape the impending storm, like a bird eager to return to the forest when it was dark.

In the shops along the street, the proprietors and shopkeepers of each family were shouting at their men to close the windows and door panels, and some of them were anxious to roll up their sleeves and run around busily, shouting incessantly that this window should be strengthened and that door should be covered from the inside with a table.

"Click, click...... Rumble...... Rumbling...... "A bolt of lightning pierced the black sky like a swimming dragon, and the thunder rumbled so loudly that the ground seemed to tremble.

"Whoa...... "The rain poured down, and in an instant, lightning and thunder roared, the wind blew violently, and the earth rose with smoke and dust.......

In the back garden of the Zhizhou Mansion, the raging wind and the heavy rain "crackled" and knocked down countless flowers that bloomed in season, countless leaves and petals of various colors were also blown and flew everywhere, many of which had been knocked down by the raindrops of beans and attached to the ground, but they couldn't move, and gradually fell into the rapidly softening soil. The trees were trembling and swaying, their leaves scattered, and they were ravaged wantonly in the wind and rain, without the slightest power to resist; The little tree was blown up and fell to the ground, as if another gust of wind would be uprooted at any moment.

In a Buddhist hall in the garden, the doors and windows are closed. More than a dozen gold-based candlesticks gradually lit up, and white candles were lit one by one, and a dim light was swaying each other.

"Du Juan, is the young master back?" A lady in her forties, kneeling at the offering table, opened her closed eyes, and the rosary in her hand stopped turning.

"Back to Mrs., the young master has not seen him back since he went out yesterday." A maid-like girl who was lighting the candles on the candlesticks in the temple one by one turned and replied.

"It's really not like that, I know how to wander around in Haizhou City all day long."

"I heard, I heard that the young master chased the second lady of the Liu family out of the city yesterday, and he should have gone to the Huaguo Mountain, and today is not the third day of March." The maid cuckoo stood silently behind her wife, bowed her head slightly, bit her lip lightly, and said.

"Oh? The young lady of the Liu family? The Liu family is also one of the few wealthy families in this Haicheng, although I eat fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, and the door does not go out of the door, but I have also heard of it. It is said that the young lady of the Liu family is quite dignified and beautiful, and she is worthy of our family Weicheng, but this background is a little inappropriate. If it was born in an official family, it would be good if it was a scholarly family. This merchant is from a background, and he can only make a side room for our family Weicheng in the future. Mrs. He knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha shrine, slowly straightened up, and gently placed the rosary in her hand on the offering table. Seeing this, the maid cuckoo behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Mrs. He stood up, then folded her hands and bowed three times to the golden statue of the Buddha in front of her, before turning around with the support of the cuckoo.

"Cuckoo, do you know who went out with the young master?" Mrs. He slowly took steps and moved her legs, which were a little sore, although she was only wearing a plain dress, she could still see a bit of grace and luxury.

"Yes and ...... It was my father's carriage. ”

"Oh? Is it with Ngawang? Then I'm relieved. Cuckoo, it's raining heavily outside, if you want to come to this rain, it will come and go quickly, as soon as the rain stops, it is estimated that Weicheng will come back. You go and tell the kitchen, cook more Dongpo meat tonight, Wei Cheng likes to eat it the most. ”

"Yes, ma'am, Cuckoo will arrange it." The cuckoo let go of his hands holding Mrs. He, blessed Mrs. He's side, and walked out of the Buddha hall very happily. It seems to have forgotten that there is a thunderstorm outside, and although there are corridors and pavilions connecting all parts of the house, the location of the kitchen is not connected.

"This little girl doesn't know how to hold an umbrella." Mrs. Ho shook her head, turned around, and faced the Buddha statue again, and just stood there motionless.

"Boom ......" was another explosion of thunder, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.

"Lord Ho, Lord Ho. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, so let's let the soldiers find some shelter from the rain first. ”

"Then, let's ask Master Li to give an order." He Zhizhou himself has already been drenched into a soup chicken, although the forests on this Huaguo Mountain are lush and green, but the rain is too big.

"Soldiers, hurry up and find a place to hide from the rain. When the rain stops, gather here again and continue to save people. Hurry up and shelter from the rain. Just leave the tool where it is, don't take it. Lord Li, the general of the East China Sea, shouted to the sergeants who were participating in the rescue excavation in the rain.

"Lu Zhutou, let's take our people down too." He Zhizhou wiped the rain from his face and said loudly.

"Yes, sir." The man who was commanding the dozen or so servants brought by Lord Na He and trying to pry a big stone replied, and then shouted to his companions: "Okay, okay, all stop, slow down, be careful with your feet, the crowbar and rope are put down in place, find a place to shelter from the rain first, remember not to run far."

"Click......" A flash of lightning and rolling thunder rumbled.

"Everyone, pay attention, try to find some pavilions or caves on this mountain to shelter from the rain, try to stay away from the big trees, and do not take shelter from the rain under the trees. As for the pavilion not far above the water curtain cave, don't go there, that place is reserved for Lord Zhizhou and Lord General, do you know? In the rumbling of thunder, a voice came from the mountain road above, it turned out that Li Yunsheng came down from somewhere above and came down to the rescue scene.

"Got it." The crowd that was quickly dispersed replied in unison.

"Lord Zhizhou, Lord General, the pavilion above has just been lowered and already gone to investigate. The man who had been traveling in the mountains must have left long ago, and some of the cold tea and pastries and the cups and plates were still forgotten on the stone table in the pavilion, and there was also a pot of untouched wine left there. Now please ask the two adults to move, go to the pavilion for a short rest, eat some dry food in the army first, and have arranged for someone to find a place to hide from the rain, find some dry firewood, bury the pot and boil water. Li Yunsheng saluted the two adults with his fists and said respectfully.

"Okay, Yun Shengna, lead the way. The rain couldn't have come at a better time. Lord Li waved his hand at Li Yunsheng, turned sideways again, made an invitation with his left hand diagonally upward, and said to He Zhizhou, who was standing lonely on his right side, staring intently at the empty pile of rocks, not knowing what he was thinking: "Lord He, please."

"Huh? Good. Lee-sama, please. He Zhizhou came back to his senses when he heard the voice, followed behind Li Yunsheng, who was walking in front, and walked up the steps along the mountain road.

Looking at the back of Li Yunsheng, who was walking in front, He Zhizhou said to General Li, who was one or two steps behind him, "I think this Yunsheng is Lord Li's nephew, what a shrewd and capable young man, a good young man, young and good."

"Yes, yes, Lord He, this is my unfortunate nephew, and now I am a lieutenant under my command."

"Master Li is too modest, I think Ling's nephew has a bright future."

"Don't praise him too much, he'll his tail, haha... Master He doesn't have to worry about it, He Gongzi is auspicious, and he will definitely be fine. ”

"Inherit Lord Li's auspicious words, Weicheng is my only son, old man, I ......" He Zhizhou said and said, a little choked, tears came down silently, raised his hand slightly, and gently brushed it without leaving a trace, as if wiping the rain on his face.

"Click......" Another lightning bolt crossed, and the thunder rumbled, resounding throughout Huaguo Mountain.
