Chapter 39 Beaver City 4
"Is the wind blowing?"
The noise on the road caused many citizens to stop and the surrounding residents opened their windows and looked out.
Dark clouds quickly gathered from the clear sky, and the sky became dark as if it were night.
The raindrops hit the pedestrians' foreheads hard, and everyone looked up at the sky at the same time. The rain turned from one or two drops into a downpour in an instant.
“It’s raining!”
The pedestrians who had stopped to walk started running, looking for a place to shelter from the rain.
There were only two or three hundred meters left to the rental house. Fu Anan was too lazy to take an umbrella, so she ran back to the rental house in one breath to collect the clothes that were drying outside.
It finally rained after three months.
Fu Anan heard the excited cheers outside, and the summer breeze blew into the house with some raindrops, as if a cold beauty was gently brushing against her body, carrying the smell of leaves and soil. This feeling could not be brought by an electric fan.
Even Fu Anan closed his eyes and blew in front of the window for a while - so comfortable!
But Fu Anan quickly closed the window because the rain was too heavy.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, making the old windows rattle. Leaves and garbage were flying outside the windows in the rain. The heavy rain at night was like the sky's release of the heat that had been suppressed for three months.
Especially when heavy rain hits the iron sheet, the sound is greatly amplified.
Beaver City Day 4, 6 AM
The heavy rain finally subsided and stopped around eight o'clock.
The strong wind and heavy rain last night left the streets in a mess, with broken branches and leaves, toppled street lamps and billboards, and even broken glass on the ground.
The road was jammed with vehicles, and sanitation workers and bulldozers were busy clearing a path for traffic to pass.
The sky seemed to be pressed down very low, appearing dark yellow, giving people a feeling of depression and dullness.
The small TV on the supermarket wall was playing the morning news. [After three consecutive months of drought, Beaver City finally welcomed heavy rain. According to experts, there will be another wave of heavy rain in the near future. Citizens working outside and tourists visiting please pay attention to the weather conditions.
Regarding yesterday's heavy rainfall, many roads in our city were blocked. We are now connecting with reporters on the scene to see how things are being handled...]
Many customers coming into the supermarket were discussing the heavy rain last night.
"It either didn't rain or it came down so hard that my car was damaged by the falling branches."
"Isn't this good? Just a few days ago, air conditioners were not only expensive but also unavailable. Who can stand this kind of weather for a few more days?"
"This kind of heavy rain is unbearable." The woman shook her head, disagreeing with the old lady next to her. "Is it good enough that there are traffic jams everywhere now? I'm afraid there will be severe droughts in the past few months and heavy rains in the next few months.
Everything goes to extremes and then reverses."
"What's the harm if it rains? It also saves money on air conditioning," the old lady said firmly. "Electricity is free."
The woman stood aside, not knowing what to say.
Fu Anan watched from the sidelines and felt that what the woman said made a lot of sense. After three months of drought, shouldn't a torrential downpour have come by now?
Suddenly, there was a flash of light outside, thunder sounded overhead, and heavy rain began to fall outside again.
The strong wind and heavy rain gathered into streams and quickly flowed into the sewer. Passersby outside hurried to the surrounding shops to take shelter from the rain. For a while, the small supermarket was crowded.
Fu Anan looked at the heavy rain outside and touched his chin, seeming to be thinking about something.
