Chapter 163 Dragon Absorbs Water

The reason why Xu Cuiyun hates Wang Tangchang so much is that apart from hating Wang Tangchang for repeatedly reporting Lin Zhongting to the higher authorities, there was also a fierce conflict between her and Wang Tangchang just yesterday evening.

This time, Xu Cuiyun's eldest son, Lin Youde, did not come to sell kiln goods.

Lin Youde went to Wu Shugui's house as an apprentice, and after only three months of study, he abducted Wu Xiulan, Wu Shugui's daughter.

Male college students should marry, female college students should get married, and when they reach a certain age, their parents will not object when they talk about marriage.

The key point is that Wu Xiulan, who was kidnapped by Lin Youde, is someone else's fiancée. Yesterday, Wu Shugui and Fan Tong came to her door, which made Lin Zhongting unable to look up in the village.

But Xu Cuiyun's point of view is different. She met Wu Xiulan, and she didn't blame the eldest son at all. She also said that the eldest son was promising, very competitive, and able to pursue such a good-looking and capable girl.

Just yesterday evening, Wang Tangchang went around the village saying that Lin Youde was not a human being and had kidnapped other people's daughter-in-law. Xu Cuiyun heard these words.

Xu Cuiyun is a woman with a fierce personality, she immediately chased and beat Wang Tangchang with a shoulder pole.

Wang Tangchang was afraid of Lin Zhongting and didn't dare to fight against Xu Cuiyun, so he had to run away.

As he ran, he scolded Xu Cuiyun's mother for being inhumane, one abducted another's wife, and the other was protecting her son, chasing and beating anyone who spoke justice.

The anger in my heart hadn't dissipated yesterday, so Xu Cuiyun said that he would rather give food to dogs than Wang Tangchang.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Wang Tangchang gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Cuiyun's family of three. He was thinking, if there is a way to make Xu Cuiyun's family of three drown in the mirror lake, that would be great!

Just as Wang Tangchang was thinking wildly, the sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds covered the sun, and the lake began to blow wind.

Lin Zhongting's family had finished their lunch, and Xu Cuiyun was busy cleaning up the dishes.

Lin Zhongting and his youngest son stowed the anchor together, ready to continue sailing eastward.

This is the widest part of the entire Mirror Lake, and the distance between the two banks is about six kilometers.

The characteristic of Jinghu Lake is that it is narrow and long, and there are not many places like this wide. Jinghu Lake is one of the lakes in this area. The names of the lakes in each area are different, and they are basically named after the local place names.

The lakes, each with a different name, are connected, though some are very narrow.

If the area of ​​the lakes in this large area is added together, the total area of ​​the water area is estimated to rank first among freshwater lakes in the country.

At this time, Lin Zhongting's boat was in the middle of the lake, and he always stayed in the middle of the lake when sailing, and turned to the shore after arriving at the destination.

The depth of the lake is different, and the boat is full of kiln goods, and the draft is very deep. If it is used in an unfamiliar shallow water area, it is easy to run aground.

The dark clouds in the sky swelled rapidly, completely covering all the sunlight, and there was darkness between the sky and the earth, and the day was almost turning into night.

The wind was getting stronger and the waves were splashing on the deck.

"No, the rainstorm is coming!" Lin Zhongting hurriedly started the boat, changed its course, and sailed towards the north bank of Jinghu Lake, where the buyer of kiln goods was on the north bank.

The weather was originally fine, but a storm is coming suddenly. The faster the change, the greater the contrast, indicating that the storm will be more severe.

At this time, all three members of Lin Zhongting's family entered the cabin, and only Wang Tangchang was on the deck.

Suddenly a flash of lightning illuminated the dark lake extremely brightly. After a thunderstorm, heavy rain poured down, and the strong wind caused the hull to shake very violently.

Will the ship sink today?Such thoughts popped up in Wang Tangchang's mind involuntarily.

Suddenly, there was an unusual strange noise in front. Wang Tangchang looked in the direction of the noise, and saw a column of water reaching the sky on the left side of the ship's forward direction. Inhale to the sky.

Dragon sucks water!
Dragon sucking water is waterspout, also known as dragon hanging water. Waterspout is a kind of tornado that rarely appears above the water.

The air-column-shaped waterspout filled with water vapor and rapidly rotating rotates while moving, which is very dangerous and extremely destructive.

The wind speed inside the waterspout can exceed hundreds of kilometers per hour. Once the ship is sucked in, the ship can be swept into the sky, which will inevitably lead to the destruction of the ship and the death of people.

Wang Tangchang grew up in Jinghu Lake since he was a child. He has never seen a dragon sucking water, but he heard from the old people that there was a dragon sucking water in Jinghu more than ten years ago.

The old people said that it was because of the lack of water in the sky, so the dragon came to the ground to absorb water and transport it to the sky.

The old people also said that the dragon will suck everything it sees on the water into its stomach.

According to what the old people said, then today the boat will be sucked into the dragon's belly.

Wang Tangchang couldn't help being very frightened, he thought about what to do.

There are four life buoys hanging on both sides of the ship, front and rear respectively.

Wang Tangchang ran to the place where the life buoy was hung, untied the life buoy, put it on his body, and prepared to abandon the boat and escape.

At this time, the thought of wishing that all three members of Lin Zhongting's family would drown entered Wang Tangchang's mind again. Not full.

He also remembered yesterday evening when Xu Cuiyun chased and beat him with a pole, during which time Xu Cuiyun chopped off his calf with the pole.

He also remembered that he hadn't eaten the delicious chili fried fish and the attractive chili scrambled eggs just now.

Anger starts from the heart, and evil grows from the gut.

Wang Tangchang pulled out a dagger hidden in his waist...

Every time he supervised the boat, he would bring a dagger to prevent being bullied by Lin Zhongting's father and son.

He ran to other places where life buoys were hung, and stabbed the fully inflated life buoy several times with his dagger.

"puff--"

"laugh--"

The fully inflated life buoy suddenly deflated.

When Wang Tangchang finished the third life buoy, he found that the ship was changing course.

At this time, Xu Cuiyun and Lin Youdao rushed onto the deck, and they desperately threw the kiln goods on the boat into the lake.

It turned out that Lin Zhongting in the cabin also found the dragon sucking water, so he quickly changed his course and drove away from the waterspout.

He also arranged for his wife and youngest son to rush to throw the kiln goods into the water to reduce the weight of the boat and increase the speed of the boat.

Lin Zhongting is more experienced in dealing with dragons sucking water. He has encountered them once in the Yangtze River and once in the Mirror Lake, and he has successfully avoided the waterspout.

After hesitating for a while, Wang Tangchang jumped into the lake and swam desperately to the south bank.

He looked back while swimming, and he found that the waterspout seemed to have eyes and was approaching the boat at a very fast speed.

However, the big ship full of kiln goods moved very slowly.

After a while, he saw Lin Zhongting also rushing onto the deck, and the three of them went to get life buoys.

Then he heard the wailing of Lin Zhongting, Lin Youdao and his son.

He never dared to look back and swam to the south bank with all his might.

The last thing he heard was Xu Cuiyun's desperate curse: "Wang Tangchang, your whole family will die!"
