Chapter 36: Heavy rain hits? Longshan Village is in danger!
Xiaobai sat cross-legged in the void, admiring the dream of the universe with great interest, but suddenly felt a surge of energy flowing into his body -
Just like rusty gears being injected with lubricant, every joint hums with pleasure.
When the energy reached its peak, she couldn't help but roar to the sky, and the sound waves shattered three asteroids around her!
“Ouch!!”
Xiaobai jumped up from the bushes with a somersault, and the wolf king was so scared that his hair stood on end. His sharp claws popped out with a "swish", shining coldly in the moonlight.
"It's over, it's over..." She looked up at the moon that had already climbed to the top of the mountain. She seemed to see Lin Guohua's frowning brows. "It's so late again, big brother will definitely stew me!"
“Swoosh—”
She pointed her toes and shot out like an arrow.
The mountain wind whistled in her ears, and the shadows of the trees on both sides formed a blurred black ribbon. The moment her toes lightly touched the branches, she suddenly realized that this speed, this jumping power, was clearly...
"Half of the superpowers have been restored?" Xiaobai somersaulted in the air, and the black vines moved as he wished, hitting the old pine tree on the side of the road with a "bang".
The tree trunk that four people hugged suddenly broke, and strange blue light flashed at the broken end.
The vine wrapped around her wrist like a proud puppy and rubbed it in a flattering manner.
Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and looked at the faintly visible "S01" mark on his palm - it seemed that the strange dream was an unexpected surprise.
......
The Lin family courtyard was quiet. Xiaobai tiptoed to open the door and just breathed a sigh of relief -
"Is Xiaobai back?" Lin Guohua's voice suddenly came from the kitchen, startling her so much that she almost bumped into the door frame. "There's chicken soup warming up on the stove. Do you want to..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" She jumped down from the second floor, her eyes shining like a little mouse that had stolen oil.
"Brother, look!" She pointed at the pile of game in the yard, "We caught a silly roe deer today, and its fur is still intact!"
Lin Guohua stood at the kitchen door wearing an old cotton-padded jacket, the smile in his eyes warmer than the fire in the stove: "Our Xiaobai never misses a move."
He reached out and brushed away the pine needles from his sister's hair. "It's just that you need to change your cat-like temper. In such a cold weather..."
"How could she be cold?" Lin Xiaoan rubbed his eyes and came out from the inner room. "She is steaming even with only a single layer of clothes on. She is like a small stove."
Seeing the piles of prey in the yard, he was excited, "Great, my Xiaobai! I'm going to the black market tomorrow, what do you want this time?"
"Cotton!" Lin Shuhua's voice floated down from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of "thump thump thump" coming down the stairs, "New cotton is needed. I want to quilt a coat for my little sister..."
Under the warm light, four heads gathered around the stove to grab some chicken noodle soup.
Lin Guohua scooped soup, Xiao An stole meat, and Shuhua was busy piling eggs into the small white bowl.
The moonlight filtered through the window lattice and shattered into tiny dots in the steam rising from the chicken soup.
Have a good night.
“Boom!”
A flash of lightning split the sky, and the dazzling white light shone through the window paper, waking Xiaobai from his sleep.
She sat up suddenly, and in her ears she heard the dense explosion of rain hitting tiles, as if millions of beans were pouring down.
Outside the window came the noisy discussions of the villagers:
"This rain is weird! I have never seen such heavy rain in my sixty years of life!"
"My vegetable garden is flooded..."
Xiaobai opened the window and cold rain blew in his face.
Unlike the corrosive rainstorms at the end of the world, this rain carries the scent of earth.
I heard the villagers talking about it.
"Today's rainstorm came a little strangely."
"That's right. My grandfather said that Longshan Village has never had such heavy rain."
"It's good to have rain. It moistens the soil and will bring a better harvest next year."
At first, people welcomed the rainstorm with joy, but as the rainstorm lasted longer and longer, everyone began to worry.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a rapid knock on the door.
The village party secretary Lin Shan stood at the door, soaking wet. The water on his raincoat formed a stream and flowed onto the ground. "Xiaobai, my father asked me to ask - is there any trouble at Longshen Mountain?!"
He gasped, raindrops dripping down his chin, "He said... this rain is wrong..."
Xiaobai's pupils shrank. The old village chief's warning reminded her of that strange dream - the call to "return" in the sea of stars...
She squinted her eyes and looked towards Longtou Cliff - the outline of the mountain was blurred in the rainstorm, but it was faintly glowing with an ominous blue light.
"Brother!" She turned and rushed into the inner room, "I'm going to Longtou Cliff to take a look! You guys stay home and don't go out!"
Lin Guohua grabbed her, his rough hands trembling slightly: "Take your raincoat..." In the end, he just stuffed a bag of pancakes into her arms, "Be careful."
In the rainstorm, Xiaobai's figure almost became a shadow.
The closer you get to Longtou Cliff, the clearer the roar coming from underground becomes - it's not thunder, but the muffled sound of some huge body of water surging!
"Bang!"
She knelt on one knee, her palm touching the wet soil. The vines madly penetrated the roots of the plants, transmitting the images from underground back to her mind.
A huge underground lake was boiling! The tumbling water was constantly impacting the rock formations, and the glowing runes on the rock walls were surprisingly the same as the "S01" mark on her palm!
"Oh no..." Xiaobai's face turned pale. If this amount of water gushed out, it would be enough to submerge the entire Longshan Village!
She rushed back to the village like lightning and directly knocked open the door of the old village chief's house: "Our river is connected to the water vein under Longshen Mountain! Now the water vein is about to burst!"
The old village chief's pipe fell to the ground with a "clack". He stared at Xiao Bai with his cloudy eyes: "Are you sure?"
"The rock formation can only hold out for half a day!" Xiaobai pointed out the window, "Look at the water level in the river!"
The originally docile river has turned into a roaring angry dragon, and the turbid river water is overflowing the embankment at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The old village chief slammed the table and said, "Shanzi! Strike the gong! Organize the whole village to evacuate to the county town! Now! Immediately!"
Lin Shan hesitated for a moment. After all, the amount of water in the river in the village has always been ordinary. Even if the heavy rain has caused the water level to rise sharply, it is a bit unbelievable to say that it can flood the village.
He wanted to say something else, but the old village chief swung his cane and hit him: "It will be too late to run when you see the water! Have you forgotten what you do for a living? The lives of all the villagers are in your hands!"
With the crisp sound of the crutch falling to the ground, Xiaobai rushed into the rain and ran back home to inform his eldest brother and the others to evacuate.
She ran and shouted:
"The flood is coming, everyone, pack up and evacuate to the county town. Don't bring too much stuff, saving your life is the most important thing!"
The voice infused with supernatural powers was particularly clear in the heavy rain.
The villagers who were watching from home were stunned at first, then shook their heads, and laughed and cursed.
"Xiaobai, you must have been confused after sleeping. Where did the flood in Longshan Village come from?"
"The small river in our village can at most flood my rice fields."
"It's okay, Xiaobai, don't worry. We have Longshen Mountain to block it, so no matter how big the flood outside is, it can't get in!"
......
Xiaobai looked back at Longtou Cliff. The blue light became brighter, as if mocking the insignificance and stupidity of human beings.
"No matter what you are planning..." She wiped the rain off her face, and the vines gathered into sharp blades in her palms, "I will accompany you to the end!"
