Although the rain was not pouring down like a river estuary breaking an embankment like before, it was still a torrential rain, like pouring down, splashing mist on the ground, and there was also the sound of rolling thunder.

The gloomy sky, the scene of lightning and thunder made people feel like the end of the world, the sky is about to fall down!

Zhang Taiping returned home after delivering the watermelon and wax gourd, still drenched through with the double protection of umbrella and raincoat.

Cai Yazhi wiped the rainwater off his head and said, "Can't I deliver it after the rain stops? I have to deliver it now, so hurry up and change into dry clothes."

Zhang Taiping changed into dry clothes, this is the third time today, he opened his clothes and said, "The summer ones have already been smashed out of holes, and they will break if you leave them for a while. If you give them to others, they will break It’s better not to send it.”

Finally rested, the whole family sat inside the house.Cai Yazhi also brought a bowl of ginger soup to Zhang Taiping, saying that the ginger soup was actually fish soup, with shredded ginger in it and a layer of green onion sprinkled on top, the aroma was pleasant.

Zhang Taiping took a sip and let out a long sigh of relief, drinking fish soup in this weather is really a kind of enjoyment.

Mu Hongyu said: "The weather is too strange. First there was heavy rain, and then there was hail."

Fan Ming said: "There is hail, and this is the first time I have seen hail."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing to have hail at this time."

Fan Ming naturally understood what Zhang Taiping meant. The watermelon rotting all over the ground was the best proof, so he stuck out his tongue embarrassingly.

Just as he was talking, Ah Huang jumped in from the outside, his body was covered with rainwater. After entering the room, he shook his body and was immediately splashed by everyone.

Cai Yazhi took a dry cloth and wiped it on Ah Huang's body to slightly wipe off the rainwater on his body.

Fan Ming looked outside and said, "Hey? Why didn't you see Wukong?"

Cai Yazhi looked inside the room and said, "Xiaoxi is gone too."

Just as he was talking, Xiaoxi flew in, landed on the table, shook the feathers on his body, folded his wings and seemed a little shivering.

Cai Yazhi quickly wiped its body with a dry cloth, and then said: "I went to test the fire on it, and it may have caught a cold."

"Xiao Xi is back, why hasn't Wukong come back?" Fan Ming probed to look outside the door and said, but the outside was shrouded in rain and mist, so he couldn't see clearly.

Xing Rushui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wukong used to be in the mountain too, he knows how to avoid this situation better than humans."

"Come back!" "Come back!" Just as they were talking, the only parrots that were not wet stood on the edge of the door and shouted.

"Back?" Fan Ming heard the parrot's cry and immediately looked outside from the door. At this moment, Wukong, who had just been fished out of the water, jumped in from the outside. Fan Ming dodged slowly or was splashed by it. With water all over his body and face, he said angrily: "Good you monkey, I was kind enough to worry about you, but you actually splashed water all over my face."

Everyone laughed when they saw Wukong's attire. He was covered with a piece of plastic paper that he didn't know where he picked up, and a few leaves were covered with his hands on his head, but these equipment seemed to be unable to stop the rain.

Wukong threw the leaves off his head and sniffed in the room. Before he could take off the plastic paper on his body, he jumped to the side of the table and prepared to pick up Zhang Taiping's bowl to drink the fish soup inside.But Zhang Taiping took the bowl away.

"Wipe off the water on your body first, and then drink from your own bowl." Zhang Taiping said.

Hearing this, Wukong took off the plastic paper on his body, and then wiped his body with a dry cloth a few times. Regardless of whether he wiped it dry, he jumped to the side of the cabinet and took down his own bowl, asking Ye Ling to scoop up a bowl of fish soup .After taking it, he poured it down and passed the bowl over. After three bowls, he burped and stopped.

Looking outside at the purple lightning that was constantly falling from the clouds, Zhang Taiping said to Ye Ling: "Turn off all the electrical appliances in the house."

Ye Ling went to turn off the power in the house, and Fan Ming also jumped up and said, "Oh, my computer is still on." After speaking, he ran to the back.

At this time, a bright light flashed across the sky suddenly, making the originally dark sky brighten up.Before everyone could react, a thunderbolt rang above their heads.

Zhang Taiping only felt a groan in his head, and a wave of nausea in his heart.Looking at the other people, they are all covering their heads and showing pain.At the same time, Fan Ming, who just ran into his room, let out a scream.

Zhang Taiping was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the back, Xing Rushui also ignored the dizziness in his head and followed Zhang Taiping to the back.

Fan Ming's room was a little dark because all the power was turned off. She was squatting on the edge of the kang, holding her head and moaning in pain.

Zhang Taiping went to help her up and asked: "What's wrong?"

Fan Ming rubbed his forehead and said with steam in his eyes: "Just now when I was about to go out, there was a thunder, and I was dizzy in my head and hit the door."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui heaved a long sigh of relief.The thunder just now sounded like it was exploding in his ears, which meant that the lightning was generated near the top of his head. In addition, she just turned off the power when she came in. He was really afraid of getting an electric shock. It would be a disaster if I got an electric shock right now.

"Ah, it hurts so much!" Fan Ming said, covering his forehead with his hand.

Zhang Taiping said: "Take your hands away, I'll see what's going on."

Fan Ming took his hand away, Zhang Taiping looked at it and couldn't help laughing, he saw a blue bump on its smooth forehead, one on the left and one on the right, which happened to be symmetrical.The one on the left is bright in green, obviously it has just been touched, and the one on the right was hit by a hailstorm earlier.

"Brother, what's the matter? Is it broken?" Seeing that Zhang Taiping didn't speak, Fan Ming asked worriedly. If there was a scar on his forehead, it would be very ugly.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's not broken, there is one on the left and right sides, it looks better, just like the little dragon girl." There are two short dragon horns growing on the forehead.

"It hurts like hell, brother, you're still joking." Fan Ming ignored Zhang Taiping, and said to Xing Rushui, "Aunt Xingbi, let's see how I'm doing here?" She moved her forehead towards Xing Rushui.

Looking at her, Xing Rushui felt both distressed and funny, but he held back his laughter and said, "It's nothing serious, just apply some medicine later and it will be fine in a few days."

"Will it leave a scar?" Fan Ming was still worried, because the forehead was too conspicuous, and a small scar would be obvious.

"No!" Xing Rushui gave her an affirmative answer.

"Then give me some medicine."

Zhang Taiping said: "Go to the front first, there is medicine in front."

When we got to the front, the other people were still inside and hadn't reacted to the thunder just now.

Cai Yazhi said, "What happened just now?"

Zhang Taiping said: "Maybe there was a thunder above the head, how do you feel?"

"Just now Zhou Ren felt dizzy and nauseous, and he couldn't react for a while." Mu Hongyu said.

Zhang Taiping said: "It's just that I felt the same feeling just now, let alone you." Then he said to Cai Yazhi, "Take out the swelling medicine, Fan Ming just touched it again."

Cai Yazhi took out the medicine and looked at Fan Ming and said, "How do you apply the medicine while covering it?"

After Fan Ming came out, she kept covering her forehead with her hands to avoid letting others see the pimples on her forehead.

It rained for a long time, and it stopped in the afternoon.

Lunch was only eaten at this moment. During the meal, Zhang Taiping said: "If there is no hail, this heavy rain will still be a good rain. It's a pity."

Cai Yazhi also sighed: "That's right, if it wasn't for the hail, this year's Baogu would have a good harvest after the rain, but with this hail, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping said, "I'm going out for a walk." Then he put on a dress and walked towards the village, and the ghost face followed.

The layer of hailstones on the ground has long since melted or been washed away by the rain. Now there is no shadow, but the dissipated hailstones have absorbed the heat of the survey, causing the temperature to drop for a short time. The summer is like autumn.

The rain was falling fast, the mountains and trees were black and clean, and the air was filled with the smell of soil, green grass and trees, which made people feel comfortable in the heart.

The villagers also came out of the house one after another. They met the old village head on the road and hurriedly walked into the ground, even Zhang Taiping didn't notice when he came up to him.

Zhang Taiping asked: "What is the old man in such a hurry to do?"

"Oh? Commander." The old village chief stopped and said, "It's not all caused by the hail that suddenly fell. I'll go inside to see what kind of damage there is. Sigh!" tone.

"Then go and have a look together." Zhang Taiping said.

When walking into the ground, the old village head asked: "When it rained just now, I saw you carrying watermelons to give to others. How about the damage in the ground?"

Zhang Taiping shrugged and said, "Basically, there are no good melons left in the watermelon fields."

"The loss is not small. If yours is like this, Wang Laoqiang's must be like this too, alas!"

Zhang Taiping said: "The watermelons are about to be taken off the shelves at the moment, there are not many melons on the vines, and there is not much loss."

"That's fine."

When the two first arrived at Wang Laoqiang's field, the couple were buying watermelons that had been smashed to the point of being inedible, and there was already a large pile of them on the edge of the field, which made people feel distressed.

The old village chief sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity."

"Who said it wasn't?" Wang Laoqiang came over and gave each of them a cigarette and said, "Fortunately, the hailstone fell when the watermelon was playing fast. If it was more than 20 days earlier, it would really kill people." It’s gone. Now these can only be taken back to feed the pigs.”

After looking at Wang Laoqiang for a while, the two walked towards Wang Shunyou's field again.Wang Shunyou and his wife were walking back and forth in the field in high rubber boots to check the condition of the tomato seedlings. "

"How is it?" The old village chief asked Wang Shunyou after he came over.

Wang Shunyou came out from the inside to get cigarettes, but his hands were covered with mud, and he smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Taiping said: "You have just smoked, so don't take the cigarettes, first tell me how the situation in the field is?"

Wang Shunyou said fortunately: "Fortunately, the hailstorm didn't last long, and there weren't many damaged seedlings. I'm replanting them right now."

The old village head also let out a long sigh of relief and said, "That's good." Wang Laoqiang and Wang Shunyou can be said to be models in the village, and now there are dozens of pairs of eyes watching them. If a hailstorm destroys them, That would not only destroy the crops of the two families, but also destroy the courage and confidence of the entire village to forge ahead.

When going from the field to the village, the old village head was obviously much more relaxed.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Is the old man worried that this will dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers?"

"Yes, the villagers have finally become motivated. It would be bad if they backed down because of this matter."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Actually, this old man doesn't need to worry too much. With the success of Song Lan's family and Han Miaomiao's family before, coupled with the benefits that can be seen in the store now, everyone has spent all their efforts to develop upwards. It's already inevitable."

When the two returned to the village, they saw a group of people surrounded by thick smoke.

"What happened?" the old village head asked.

The people in front turned around and saw that it was the village head and Zhang Taiping, and they stepped aside and said, "It's really strange. It's raining heavily, and this dead tree is actually smoking."

"There is such a thing?" The old village head was also surprised.

Zhang Taiping was tall enough to see clearly what was going on inside without squeezing in.This big tree has been in the village for some years, but it has died for unknown reasons, but it doesn't hinder anything here, so no one cut it down.It was pitch black above, as if it had just been roasted by a fire, and thick smoke was coming out of the hollows in the trees.

The old village chief asked, "When did this happen?"

Someone replied: "I don't know. It was fine before it rained, but it caught fire after it rained. It's really strange!"

"It's raining, but it caught fire?" The old village chief was very puzzled.

"Right, that is it."

Hearing what they said, Zhang Taiping suddenly had some ideas in his heart, turned around the tree, touched it with his hands, and finally confirmed it, and said to the people around him: "If I read correctly If so, it was struck by lightning.”

The people around heard it and made a noise, and they all felt incredible.

"Been struck by lightning?" The old village chief said thoughtfully, "Marshal, tell me your opinion."

Zhang Taiping pressed his hand to quiet the surrounding villagers and continued: "Do you still remember that during the rain, there was a muffled thunder that seemed to explode in your ears?"

"Remember, remember, that blow almost scared me to death, I was dizzy for a while." One person said.

Zhang Taiping said: "That thunderbolt struck the village, and it should have draped over this big tree. You must know that the heat from the lightning strike from the sky can melt even steel, let alone a tree." , can set the tree on fire in an instant, and it won’t work if you go down.”

"Fortunately, it fell on this tree. It would be a disaster if it fell on someone's house." Someone sighed with lingering fear.The people next to him responded one after another.
