At this time, Wei Mian and the two little paper figures also moved all the flowers that could be moved into the house. As for the grape vines in the backyard, she didn't have anything big enough to cover them, so they could only fend for themselves.
Niu Jingyi found the car cover for the chopped pepper fish head, covered it with a quilt, and then put on the car cover again.
After everything was done here, raindrops as big as copper coins began to fall, hitting the glass and making crackling sounds.
Wei Mian stood by the window and watched for a while. In just a minute or two, the falling raindrops became more and more dense, and soon gathered into lines. A layer of water accumulated on the ground in the courtyard almost instantly.
With the faint light, you can clearly see that because the raindrops are falling too densely, a cloud of white smoke is rising from the ground.
Those who had arrived home early were thankful when they saw the heavy rain outside, and were glad that they had returned home early, otherwise they would have been caught outside in the heavy rain.
Those who were still on the road were cursing the weather while driving carefully, fearing that accidents would occur due to the heavy rain. They would then have to go out in the rain to deal with the situation, and even with an umbrella they would still get soaked.
At this time, the videos released by a short video account called "Qingping Express" were gradually seen by more and more people.
This is an inconspicuous account that usually posts some real-time news, but most of them are forwarded and there is no exclusive news.
But now they actually saw on the video account that there was a red hail warning?
Citizens are also advised to pay attention to the protection of vehicle and door and window glass to avoid direct economic losses or casualties.
Those who saw the message were all startled. At this time, they did not think about whether the orange warning was issued by the weather station, but wanted to quickly rescue the vehicles parked outside.
Of course, there are also some people who are not so trusting and will post real-time screenshots of weather software.
[Can you please stop spreading rumors? Momo Weather didn't even say there was hail, how can you be more arrogant than that? It's just a rainstorm, and you're making it sound like it could cut through knives.]
I used the weather app on my phone, and there was no hail warning, so I'm checking now. You're spreading rumors! The general public shouldn't believe or spread rumors!
[I didn't get any hints either, are you deliberately trying to create hype?]
…
There are many similar comments, but many people are still willing to believe them.
Some people also cursed in the comment section, with harsh words, even going so far as to curse the person who issued this warning to have a son without an anus.
Jiang Yao was not angry even though she was scolded, because she knew that hail would definitely fall today, and these people would be slapped in the face.
And what does it matter if people curse more? The more people curse, the more popular this video will be.
The more people see it, the greater the impact.
When she refreshed the video half an hour later, the number of views had reached 800,000, the number of likes had reached 320,000, the number of comments had reached over 6,000, and there were over 100,000 reposts!
This was the best result Jiang Yao had ever achieved since she created the account. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
At this time, she was shining a flashlight towards the parking space downstairs and could see that more than one car was covered with a blanket. There were even people heading towards the parking space, and they were still covering their car roofs with blankets even though they were soaked by the heavy rain.
Wang Huan is one of these people.
She had just seen the short video while eating. Thinking it was better to believe it than not, she threw down her chopsticks and came out with a quilt.
Wang Huan’s car is not a very good one, but it is the most valuable thing she has. She rents the house, but she bought the car herself.
If the car was really damaged by hail, repairing it would probably cost a lot of money. The money she had now was barely enough to live until the end of the month, let alone repair the car.
So she would rather get wet in the heavy rain than take any risk and cover the car with a blanket.
Just as the quilt was thrown onto the roof of the car, Wang Huan suddenly felt like being hit on the forehead by something.
It wasn't painful, but it was nothing like the feeling of rain hitting your face.
She squinted her eyes and saw white balls jumping in the heavy rain. Wang Huan immediately exclaimed "Oh shit!"
It really hailed!!
But she didn't have time to be surprised at the moment, and hurriedly quickened her pace to flatten the corners of the quilt. She originally planned to tie it up with a rope, but the quilt was wet by the rain and was completely stuck to the car, so there was no need for any other measures.
Wang Huan worked quickly, and in just a few minutes he had covered all the key areas. By this time, the size of the hail had grown from the size of a fingernail to the size of a quail egg.
She covered her head and ran quickly to the eaves at the entrance of the corridor.
With the shelter of the eaves, Wang Huan, who had just been hit by hail and rain and couldn't open her eyes, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at the hailstones getting bigger and bigger and couldn't help but feel relieved. She was relieved that she believed the content of the video, relieved that her car would not be smashed, and she would not have to lose money!
The hailstones hit the glass with a crackling sound, which startled the dozing supermarket owner. He stuck his head out and looked, and his sleepiness was immediately scared away.
At this time, the falling hailstones had reached the size of ping-pong balls. When he thought of his beloved car that he had only driven for a year, he felt his heart bleed.
He hurriedly grabbed a blanket from the lounge and rushed into the rain. His car was parked less than fifty meters outside his supermarket.
But just after he rushed out a few steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he was hit by a huge object, and his vision went black.
The supermarket owner blinked hard and saw clearly that he was hit by a hailstone as big as an egg.
He stood there for a while, watching his beloved car being destroyed in the hail and rain not far away, and decided to hold on a little longer, since he had already come so far.
Before he could take a step, he felt another sharp pain at the back of his head. Knowing that he was hit by hail again, he subconsciously used his arms to block his head, but he didn't expect to feel a sharp pain in his arms immediately afterwards.
"ah--"
This time, the supermarket owner couldn't help but cry out in pain. He felt like his arm was broken.
He no longer had the heart to build the car. He had been hit three times on the way there. He would have to build the car again and walk back after finishing it. Wouldn't he be hit to death?
For the sake of his own life, the supermarket owner chose to return the same way he came. Only then did he remember to hold the quilt above his head, and he finally returned safely.
But this time he really lost both the wife and the army. He failed to cover the car, the car was smashed, his head was bleeding, and even his arm was hurt. He grimaced in pain whenever he moved it. He guessed that it was probably a broken bone.
Looking at the man with two big bumps on his head in the mirror, the supermarket owner suddenly remembered what the aunt from Northeast China upstairs said.
It made him want to slap himself twice.
People advised you to find something to cover your car, but you refused and waited until it started hail before you remembered to cover it. As a result, the car was not covered and you got two big bumps on your head. He really doesn't know what to say about himself except that he deserved it!
