After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 312 The Flood Comes

"Look at what you said!" Liu Shi held the card and shook his head, "Don't be shy."

"How do I—" Yao Shouning heard Liu's words, and was a little dissatisfied at first, and was about to refute, then out of the corner of his eyes saw Yao Wanning lowered his head and snickered, and suddenly realized what he said.

"I mean……"

She originally wanted to discuss with the prince about the 'River God'.

It has been a long time since she was hunted down by Chen Taiwei and discovered the Daqing Dragon Vein underground. The prince has never appeared. She was wondering what Lu Zhi was up to.

Obviously, she said casually before, and everyone misunderstood.

But Yao Shouning didn't explain, when he saw Su Miaozhen bowing her head, her long nose almost touched the edge of the table, those eyes turned around and stared straight at her, with a cold look in her eyes .

"—I just miss the prince."

Yao Shouning stopped the urge to explain, and repeated a sentence.

Just as Liu Shi was about to speak, Su Miaozhen, who lowered his head, shook his ears.

When Yao Shouning saw this scene, he was suspicious, and then he heard the sound of splashing water outside, as if someone was stepping on the water.

Since the rainstorm, the Yao family has rarely moved up and down, and almost stayed indoors.

At this time, when Yao Shouning heard someone coming, Yao Shouning thought about it, and felt that there was a guest coming, his eyes lit up, he held the door frame and stood up.

I saw a figure in the rain walking fast on the water, Liu Shi and others in the room also heard the sound, and they put their cards up and got up.

"It's Uncle Zheng!" Yao Shouning's eyes lit up and shouted:
"Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Shi pushed the bamboo hat that had been beaten by the rain, strode into the inner door, and stood under the eaves to hide from the rain.

He took out the bamboo hat and put it down, his body was soaked wet, and his face was blue from the cold.

Zheng Shi first greeted Yao Shouning before shouting:

"Madam, the uncle asked me to come back and let you know first. He is busy with official business today, and he may have to stay in the army and horse division. He said that the heavy rain has been incessant recently, and he is afraid that there will be a shortage of rice and grain. Let me buy some more."

Hearing this, Mrs Liu didn't hesitate, nodded in response, then turned around and instructed Mammy Cao to withdraw the money.

Mammy Cao showed hesitation and reminded in a low voice:
"Ma'am, our family has stocked up a lot of rice grains, enough for our old snacks for more than three months."

After the heavy rain last year, Mr. Liu felt that the situation was not right.

After November, it also rained for a long time in Shendu. At that time, the supply of rice and grain in the south of the Yangtze River was cut off, and there was a wave of rumors in the city, which caused the price of goods to rise for a few days.

Fortunately, the sun and rain stopped soon after, and everything gradually recovered.

But soon it rained again, and the rain continued.

Although Liu Shi said that he came from a scholarly family, he was very keen on the market. Shortly after the rain, his family members bought a lot of supplies.

So it rained heavily for half a month, but the Yao family was not in a hurry.

"Buy some more." Liu said.

"The price of rice and grain has risen a lot recently--" The family's money is running out. Most of the wealth that Liu's family saved at the beginning was spent in the process of running for Su Miaozhen's sister and brother.

Now that I have hoarded a wave of food, I have spent a lot of money. If I spend more, I will have no money to live on.

"Furthermore, although the heavy rain in winter is bizarre, it has rained before, and it stopped for at most half a month."

Granny Cao advised:

"The price of rice grain has risen several times now. If we buy it at this time, it will not be worth it at all. When the rain stops, and the price of rice grain in Jiangnan arrives, we will suffer a big loss."

"You listen to her."

Before Liu Shi could speak, Liu Bingzhou, who was sitting in the room drinking tea and reading a book, said something.

After grandfather opened his mouth, Yao Shouning had a bad premonition in his heart.

Liu Bingzhou is a person who has participated in Yingtian Bookstore, and he has already spied on the major events that will happen in the next few decades from the bookstore.

Now Mammy Cao said that the rice grains at home are enough for the whole family to eat for two or three months, but Liu Bingzhou meant that he would stock up on rice grains. Does that mean that the rainstorm will not subside in a short time?
Yao Shouning's heart sank, and he glanced at his grandfather.

He seemed to sense Yao Shouning's gaze and raised his head.

Today's Liu Bingzhou has his head full of silver threads tied into a bun, fixed with a wooden hairpin, and his long beard hangs down his chest, making him look like a fairy.

He was wearing a cyan shirt, and there was compassion in his eyes. The moment his eyes met Yao Shouning, Yao Shouning heard the roar of the wind in his ears.

With the rumbling sound of 'bang rumbling', she thought it was thunder at first, and then a large gust of water rushed to her face.

In the darkness, she saw the endless river in front of her eyes, and the big waves swept in, forming a huge impact, hitting the river bank.

On the embankment, there is a high observation deck.

It is said that the pavilion was built when Taizu made his capital here, in order to convey information to the people in the palace and the capital.

The stage is not very spacious, there is only a short room with a bronze bell hanging outside.

The lights were lit in the room, and through the reflections of the doors and windows, you could see two soldiers on duty sitting inside.

It's cold and windy tonight, and it's raining heavily. It's really a chore to be here at night.

A stove was lit in the house, and drinks were hot on the stove. The two sat facing the stove, cursing and drinking while drinking.

The river water was surging outside the house, and the sound of the huge waves hitting the riverbank was suppressed by the sound of the rainstorm. The wind blew the copper bell placed on the observation platform, which had a thick layer of scale. It was reminding the two people in the room.

"The damn weather!"

One person in the room was disturbed by the noise, and he put the jug in his hand on the stove, and got up with his trouser belt:
"I'll go and see if I can find a way to tie the clock so that it doesn't swing around, otherwise I won't be able to rest tonight."

Another laughed and waved:

"Go! Go!"

The man was half drunk and half awake, got up and walked to the door.

The door was fastened, and he pulled it twice, but the door did not move.

The soldier on duty at night was a little surprised, and couldn't help but frowned and shouted:
"Huh? What's going on?"

The door bolt seemed to be firmly glued to the door panel, no matter how hard he tried, it would not help.

Seeing this, another companion staggered over and said with a smile:

"Did you drink too much alcohol and feel weak in your hands?"

At the same time as he spoke, his hand came to grasp the bolt.

Strange to say, the door still couldn't be opened, and the two of them looked at each other in surprise.

The two pushed together, the door panel pressed against the door latch, and the two bodies collided with the door, making a 'bang bang' sound.

It turned out that there seemed to be a force of gravity outside the house pushing the door, the door was squeezed inward, and it was firmly glued to the door.

The two people on duty at night figured this out, so they used their bodies to press the door panel hard, and then pulled the door bolt open—

'boom! '

The moment the door latch was pulled open, a gust of wind rushed in, knocking the two door panels open.

The two people standing behind the door were beaten by the force and fell to the ground one after another.

The gust of wind mixed with rain poured into the house, dousing the burning stove in the house.

'Hoo—————'

The wind roared outside, and the waves roared.

I saw that the river water that should have been blocked by the river bank outside the city of God actually rose higher and higher at this time, as if it was about to break through the river bank.

Several rows of huge waves came in waves, and they jumped up several feet high, rushed towards the observation deck, and rushed to the ground. The waves hit the bell and made a crisp sound.

"what!"

The two fell into a daze, and when they got up, they saw this terrifying scene, and their faces turned pale with fright.

The gate was blown with a 'bang bang' sound, and the entire observation deck was shattered by the waves.

In the darkness, the big bell was shaken by the huge waves, making a dull sound of 'clang-clang-clang--'.

If it is normal, the night is quiet, and the sound of the bell would have been enough to wake up the entire city of the gods and make people feel defensive.

But recently, the rain is too heavy, and the 'crashing' keeps ringing, which covers up the sound of the bell, making it impossible to transmit the sound of the bell.

In an instant, both of them were drenched in water.

'Squeak, squeak'.

The entire observatory was shaken by the huge waves. This 700-year-old building that has experienced wind and rain seems to be about to collapse under the impact of the waves.

'Boom-long! '

A large row of huge waves rushed up and hit the copper bell fiercely. The body of the bell swung and made another shocking sound: "铛——"

The sound spread, followed by the sound of the tower shaking vigorously.

"Yes, it was the flood—"

The two soldiers who had been drunk before suddenly sobered up and shouted:
"There's going to be an accident! The river is about to burst its banks!"

"Quick, inform the city quickly." Someone shouted, and ran towards the bronze bell with difficulty against the wind and rain.

The other person also wanted to keep up, but at this time the wave slipped from the gaps in the four sides of the platform, and another larger wave was brewing to rush to the top of the tower.

The house was crumbling, and in the storm, the roof seemed to be blown off.

The man's face changed greatly, and then he murmured:
"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't want to die—"

As soon as the voice fell, he rolled and ran to the stairs.

Seeing this, the person walking towards the bronze bell was taken aback for a moment, and then cursed loudly.

There was a hint of hesitation on his face, and then he saw the big waves rushing up from the river, and behind him was the endless city of the gods.

Thousands of people lived there, and his home and family were among the rows of houses, ignorant of the impending danger.

"Dog thing—" The man gritted his teeth, stomped his feet hard, suppressed his inner fear, and scolded:
"When you drink, you say that your brothers are the most important, but at this time, you are the fastest runner."

As he cursed, he rushed towards the bronze bell, grabbed the hanging wooden post, and was almost lifted up by the strong wind, and then he shot down the bronze body with people and wood.

'clang! ! ! '

This bell, which was struck by the power of the supreme perseverance, was particularly clear, and it was transmitted to the entire city of God in the middle of the night.

Many people who fell asleep with worry due to the heavy rain were awakened from their slumbers and heard the bell toll in the middle of the night.

But no one knew that the body of the man who hit the final blow with all his strength had not yet landed, and the next moment a huge wave rolled up and wrapped him together with the bronze bell.

The water waves carried the power of Wan Jun, destroying the entire crumbling tower.

The house collapsed, and the man who struck the bell, along with the tower, was swallowed by the water.

The dilapidated river embankment was no longer able to stop the natural disaster and was finally broken.

The ruthless torrent overwhelmed the courage of this ordinary person before he died, like a mad beast, rushing into the capital city of God!

……

Yao Shouning was frightened and woke up from the illusion.

She was drenched in cold sweat, and the grandfather in front of her had a look of compassion and love in her eyes, as if 'borrowing' her eyes to see the upcoming scene clearly.

"Grandfather—"

She shouted, and Liu Bingzhou sighed:

"The Daqing Dynasty suffered such a catastrophe, but the people suffered."

"I'm going to find the prince!"

At this moment, the first figure that came to Yao Shouning's mind was Lu Zhi.

"Bullshit!"

Liu Shi was still comforting Cao Mama and asked her to take out the money to buy rice grain. Before she turned her head, she heard her daughter say she was going out.

She was in a hurry, and immediately waved to Mammy Cao, then turned around and said:

"You are not allowed to go out."

The heavy rain kept falling, making the city of Shendu unstable.

Originally suffered a disaster a few years ago, there were many refugees in the city. After the recent heavy rain, the price of rice and grain has skyrocketed. Many poor people lack food and drink. It is winter, and many people freeze to death and starve to death.

When Yao Hui came back the night before, he said that the imperial court wanted to send out spies again, in order to force people to bury the corpses, so as not to cause a plague.

As a result, the city of Shendu has begun to be in chaos.

The Wucheng Soldiers and Horse Divisions were understaffed, and most people did not dare to go out.

All matters such as shopping at home were handed over to Zheng Shi, and Liu Shi was glad that the little daughter had been well-behaved recently, and had been staying at home quietly, but she said she was going out at this time.

"No, it's too messy outside, what kind of prince are you looking for!"

She raised her voice, afraid that her daughter would mess up, so she rushed to hold her hand.

"mother--"

Yao Shouning thought of the scene he saw in the illusion, and called Liu Shi anxiously:
"I have to find the prince..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Su Miaozhen beside her.

The cousin has raised her head, her eyes are scrutinized and suspicious, and the corners of her mouth are slightly cracked, revealing snow-white teeth.

Yao Shouning was also a little scared when she saw her fierce face. She was a descendant of the Defenji family, but she had not yet received a complete inheritance.

The fox demon possessed by Su Miaozhen is probably waiting to catch her for a long time. If the clue is revealed now, it will be dangerous in the future.

But Yao Shouning thought of the river bank that burst its embankment in the dark night. If no one was notified, the river flooded in the middle of the night, and countless people in Shendu City would die.

Those are real people!
"Mother, I'm going to find the prince."

This time she repeated this sentence again, and she seemed extraordinarily firm.

At this moment, Zheng Shi, who was standing under the eaves at the entrance of the courtyard, seemed to remember something, and said quickly:
"By the way, Mrs. Wen, when I came back, I passed by Wen's house and happened to meet Mrs. Wen and her party. They said they had something to do and wanted to visit you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance - a group of people were treading water.

"Mrs. Wen is coming?"

What is she doing at this time?
Since Yao Shouning's birthday last time, she ignored the friendship between the two families and asked Yao Ruoyun to speak for her. Liu's heart was stunned for several days. Although the two families were still married, they were no longer close.
