Chapter 738 You said you’ve only seen such heavy rain twice?

When they first arrived in Nanyun, it was mostly sunny. The occasional rain would pass in a moment and the sky would clear up soon.

But recently, the sunny days have become less frequent.

The dark clouds above are so thick that they seem to be pressing down on people’s heads, and even if you look up, you can’t see a ray of sunlight.

All I could hear day and night, whether I was awake or asleep, was the sound of the rain. The ground seemed to never dry up, with water accumulating day and night.

When going out today, Sang Zhixia heard Xu Mingyang muttering that it was rare not to rain, but it had only been a short time and it started raining again?

Diancui took out a pair of replacement shoes and socks, signaling Sang Zhixia to change quickly. She whispered, "It's been five days, and it's getting bigger every day."

"When we came here just now, the deep depressions on the ground were all overflowing with water. I heard that the river in the city has risen a lot."

The painted fan gently wiped the ends of Sang Zhixia's dripping hair and sighed, "It's not just the city moat that's flooded."

"I heard from the locals yesterday that the canal outside has been flooded these days. Now the smaller boats that can't withstand the waves have been tied to the shore with iron chains, but even so, when the night rain stirs up a strong wind and waves, they still can't withstand it."

A complex trace of reluctance crossed Huashan's face as she spoke, and she smiled wryly, "I heard that a few days ago, someone was trying to pull their own boat back home, but was swept away by the waves and disappeared. I wonder if they can be found."

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. This has never been an empty talk for thousands of years.

Anyone who survives on the water, regardless of gender, age or status, can be said to be an excellent swimmer.

When the wind is calm, you can see children of all ages playing in the water, and some people are holding the edge of the boat to repair the wooden boat.

No one could have imagined that the wind and waves would be so powerful that even several adult men could be swept away in an instant.

In this situation, even if the person who was swept away was found by chance, he or she would not be alive.

Sang Zhixia's brows knitted together slightly. "Any news from Lin Yun and Xue Liu?"

She has been busy tidying up the shops in Nanyun City these days and has not been able to take care of it for a while.

I suddenly remembered it and realized that something was wrong.

If they were not really tied up, it would be impossible for these two people to have no news for several days.

A trace of confusion flashed across Huashan's face. "The rain is getting heavier. Boss, why don't you take a car back first? I..."

"Don't go back yet."

Sang Zhixia waved her hand to interrupt Hua Shan and said directly, "Go find Lin Yun."

"Now."

When Sangzhixia arrived, Lin Yun happened to be away.

The manager of the business saw Sang Zhixia coming over in a hurry, but he was dripping with soup and looked quite disheveled.

"Boss, why are you here in such heavy rain?"

"It's very damp here. Please go upstairs first. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some ginger soup to dispel the cold."

The steward was about to leave in a hurry, but Sang Zhixia quickly said, "Don't."

"I'm not here to drink ginger soup, so don't bother."

Sang Zhixia frowned and looked at the steward, saying solemnly, "What's wrong with you? Where are the others?"

“This… Ugh!”

The steward sighed heavily and urged Sang Zhixia to hurry upstairs. When Sang Zhixia sat down, he panted and said, "Boss, I'm afraid the situation this year is not going to be good!"

Sang Zhixia's heart skipped a beat.

The steward wiped the sweat and rain from his face, which had mixed into a streak running down his face, and said worriedly, "Boss, you've never been to the south before, so I'm afraid you've never seen the horror of a flood."

"I've lived in Jiangnan for half my life, and I've only seen rain this heavy and non-stop twice in my life."

The steward's face flashed with obvious fear, and he said bitterly: "The last time was when I was still a child. I was only eight years old that year."

"At the beginning, the rain kept coming, the river swelled, and soon after, the dams burst, flooding everywhere."

"That year... after that year, my mother and I were the only ones left in my family. The rest of the family either drowned in the flood or starved to death in the aftermath..."

The steward wiped his eyes in frustration, lowered his head and apologized softly, "I'm old and it's a bit awkward to talk about the past. I hope the boss won't blame me. I..."

"You said you'd only seen rain this heavy twice."

Sang Zhixia didn't bother to notice the obvious disappointment on the steward's face. She spoke slowly, "What about the second time?"

"The second time... the second time is now."

Sang Zhixia's heart, which had been hanging in the air, hit her throat and she was speechless for a moment.

The steward seemed to be afraid that Sang Zhixia would think he was meddling in something unlucky, so he quickly explained, "Boss, I'm really not exaggerating."

"Ever since it started raining like this, I've visited a few people who survived the disaster, and they all feel like there's something wrong with the rain this year. There's something strange about it."

"If you don't believe me, how about I go get someone and ask him in person?"

Sang Zhixia exhaled slowly and said to the astonished Song Liu and Ling Chu without thinking, "Each of you drive a car and go find the person as Manager Chen said."

"Remember, we're asking people to come in to ask about something, so we shouldn't be rude to them."

Manager Chen hadn't expected Sang Zhixia to make such a decisive decision. He was stunned for a moment and said helplessly, "Then, Boss, I'll lead the way?"

"Go ahead."

"Please prepare more rain gear."

Sang Zhixia reminded him worriedly, "This is a special period. Take good care of yourselves. Don't catch a cold or take medicine at this critical moment."

The person who was given the order left in a hurry.

Sang Zhixia looked at the candles burning on the table in broad daylight, and turned her gaze to the sealed window.

This is a restaurant by the river. On weekdays, the best seats are those by the window, where you can enjoy your meal and the view at the same time.

But now all the windows are sealed tightly with several layers of oil paper and cowhide, and an extra circle of wooden frames are reinforced inside.

But even so, you can clearly hear the whistling of the wind outside the window while sitting in the house.

The strong wind picked up bean-sized raindrops and slammed them madly into everything they could reach, without stopping.

Sang Zhixia was lost in thought for a moment before she said, "Is this house still a little further from the river?"

"yes."

Lin Yun rushed over after hearing the news. When he heard Sang Zhixia ask this, he immediately said, "From here, we have to cross a covered bridge. After crossing the bridge and the ferry, we will reach the water's edge."

The sound of wind and rain was so startling from such a distance, how about right next to the water...

Sang Zhixia didn't have time to think deeply. She looked at Lin Yun, who had just walked into the house and had a puddle of water at his feet. Her eyebrows twitched, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"Are they all like monkeys in water, jumping into the water to catch fish when the waves are high?"
