Chapter 35 Chapter 35 What should I do without him...
"Village Chief, it looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon. The village is at the foot of the mountain. Is that really okay? There's no protective netting around the mountain. We need to discuss the subsequent development projects in detail."
Lu Huainan followed the village chief and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The water on the road had obviously increased a lot, and the dirt road had turned into a muddy road. The woods that had looked lush and lush during the day now looked like the claws of the devil, casting their shadows.
The village chief muttered, "Don't worry. It's rainy this year, but it also rained a few months ago, and nothing has happened to the village. Besides, the village is blessed by God, so how could anything go wrong? After all, I've lived here for most of my life, so don't worry."
Superstition, this is pure superstition. Lu Huainan thought of the elder he met in the afternoon. The people in this village are more or less a little bit weird. If this is the case, the tourism development may go wrong.
The village chief's home is at the foot of the mountain. He could clearly see that the stream water nearby had become turbid, a sign of a mudslide. Something was wrong. This kind of weather was definitely not right.
"Please come in, Mr. Lu."
Lu Huainan looked at the stream beside him, stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled, "Here it comes."
He sat on the sofa, looking at the rain outside the window, which seemed to be heavier than before.
The village chief walked over with a teacup in hand. "Mr. Lu, I've reviewed this cooperation project. As you know, our village has always worshipped the water god, as evidenced by the village well. Therefore, the layout over there cannot be changed."
Lu Huainan took the teacup, twisted it in a circle with his fingertips, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Village Chief, I think I still need to remind you that there's something wrong with this rain. I just saw the stream water become turbid, so shouldn't I notify the villagers..."
The village chief's eyes were obviously strange. He took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Mr. Lu, don't worry. This is the land protected by the water god. No water-related accidents will happen here."
Seeing that the village chief was almost stubborn, Lu Huainan shook his head helplessly. He couldn't just ignore it.
"Village chief, you should inform the villagers. Hundreds of lives are at stake."
Seeing Lu Huainan's stubbornness, the village chief picked up the phone on the table, swiped it a few times casually, and waved it at him. "The notice has arrived. Whether they evacuate or not is not my business."
Lu Huainan felt a bad feeling in his heart. He had heard that the village chief of Baitou Village was a good village chief who served the people. Why was he like this now? Could it be that the power of God was really more important? He pursed his lips. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky and reflected into the house. The shadows of the two people were revealed hideously on the wall. Lu Huainan's heart was beating fast.
"Village Chief, I brought the contract."
Lu Huainan placed the contract he had prepared long ago on the coffee table in front of him. He felt inexplicably uneasy and wanted to leave this place quickly, but when he thought of Shen Muyun, he gave up the idea.
The village chief looked at the contract on the table and smiled at him. "Well, I've read the electronic version of the contract. There are a few details that need further discussion. But as for the dividend distribution, we're going for a 40:60 split. After all, this is where we were born and raised."
Lu Huainan took out a pen and added the village chief's request directly to the blank page of the contract. "Village chief, I have to say that I am a businessman, and businessmen have their own principles. I don't think we can come up with anything about making concessions in a short time, so let's put this proposal on hold for now."
The village chief nodded. "We can put this on hold, but the road behind the village should probably be repaired. Mr. Lu, the Lu Group must have plans for this as well. After all, there's only one road leading into the village, and if the passenger flow is high, then..."
"Village Chief, your suggestion is included in the contract. The Lu Group and the municipal government have reached a consensus that the road must be properly repaired. The dirt road here will also be renovated. Rather than calling it a Lu Group development, it's more of a mutually beneficial project."
The village chief seemed very satisfied with Lu Huainan's words, and a smile appeared on his tense face. However, the sound of rain outside was getting louder and louder, and from time to time it seemed that there was light from a flashlight shining in.
Lu Huainan saw a dark shadow outside the window. Perhaps because of the news just now, some villagers with a strong sense of vigilance had already begun to evacuate. He touched his chest with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked at the watch on my wrist and saw that it was eleven o'clock. The wind outside was getting stronger, making the window frame make some noises.
"Village Chief, if there's nothing else, then I'll go back. The representative of the Shen family has a fever now, and I have to go back to take care of him."
The village chief looked at Lu Huainan meaningfully and stood up to see him off.
As soon as they opened the door, a strong wind blew and made them a little unsteady. Jiangcheng is a coastal city, and this level of wind is even comparable to that before a typhoon. Thinking about what Shen Muyun said, maybe it was really telling them that it was not safe here.
"Village chief, you should also prepare for evacuation. This is at the foot of the mountain and it's not safe."
The village chief disagreed. He had lived in the village for so many years and had never seen the village flooded by rain.
He nodded, turned around and closed the door.
Lu Huainan rushed into the night with an umbrella. The rain was too heavy and the umbrella could not withstand it at all, and was torn into two pieces.
Lu Huainan threw the umbrella directly onto the pile of earth beside him and looked at his clothes, which looked like they had been soaked in water.
To get from the village chief's house to the B&B, one has to cross a river. The bridge above was shaky and the river water was surging. Lu Huainan hurriedly took two steps and fortunately, he managed to cross the bridge.
Walking further, there is the well. It didn’t look right during the day, and now it seems even more strange. "Boom!" Another thunder.
Lu Huainan thought he had to go back quickly. He remembered that there was a small path here. If he went down like this, the whole village would be in danger. The village chief notified the villagers, but Shen Muyun was sleeping. Maybe no one had notified him. Thinking of this, Lu Huainan's pace quickened, but he didn't notice that the stone on the side had begun to loosen, and even some broken stones fell down.
Shen Muyun was awakened by the thunder. He reached out and touched the bed, then looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. It shouldn't be the case that he hadn't come back at this time.
He drowsily took the cup from the bedside table, but it was out of water.
I looked at my phone again and found that it had been turned off without me noticing.
He immediately looked for a charging cable, and the moment he turned on his phone, messages from Lu Huainan came pouring in one after another.
"Brother Yun, are you awake? I'm at the village chief's house. The situation here doesn't seem good. I'll be back soon."
"Brother Yun, I'm already out. Don't worry, I'll be there in about ten minutes."
Shen Muyun was suddenly shocked. The time of the message was half past eleven, and it was already twelve o'clock, ten minutes later, so why hadn't he come back yet?
The sound of rain outside was mixed with the sound of electricity.
"Dear villagers, evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!"
Shen Muyun heard the sound of electric current outside clearly. It was not an electric current, but the village broadcast. So, Lu Huainan had told the village chief, but where were the others?
Shen Muyun was becoming more and more anxious, and with the headache, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"System, come out!"
The system shook and appeared in front of Shen Muyun. "Heh... It's so late, host, what's the matter?"
"You still have the mind to sleep? Is something going to happen to this village? And what about Lu Huainan? Can you find out where Lu Huainan went?"
The system looked out the window and immediately woke up. "Master Host, run! Something's wrong! The rain is too heavy!"
"System, tell me where Lu Huainan is."
The system was stunned. "Host, according to the main plot of the time and space management, he should be with you now. How could it be..."
The system immediately checked the progress of the script. Something was wrong. This was a process with two male protagonists, and one of them couldn't go wrong.
"Ahhhhh... Host, host, Lu Huainan, he's on the bridge over there..."
Shen Muyun listened to the anxious voice of the system, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. No, Lu Huainan couldn't be in trouble. He had saved him so many times. No, he must save Lu Huainan this time.
Shen Muyun picked up the clothes beside him and opened the door directly, only to find that the water under his feet was almost up to his knees. How could it suddenly rain heavily? Could there be something wrong with this book?
The system flickered its wings and immediately caught up with Shen Muyun, "Master Host, don't worry, Lu Huainan is the male lead, how could anything happen to him? Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."
"System, will this world collapse?"
The system hovered in the air. "Hmm? Host, it doesn't look like that at the moment, because your target trajectory has not deviated from the main mission. Don't worry, and Lu Huainan will definitely be fine."
Chen Muyun waded through the water. He was not feeling well to begin with. His head was dizzy, his body temperature seemed a little high, and his body was cold.
Walking on the road, you can see villagers rushing around from time to time, holding something in their hands.
Did they all flee after receiving the notice? This scene really looks like a doomsday game.
Shen Muyun stepped into a mud pit and stumbled, "hiss..."
He pulled his foot out of the mud pit with great effort. As soon as he took a step, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist bone. What was going on? How could he sprain his ankle at such a critical moment?
"Master Host, please slow down. You can't go any further. Warning, there's a landslide ahead."
"Just shut up, Huainan is still on the road ahead. If you have nothing else to do, just disappear."
Shen Muyun walked forward, his body tilted in pain, holding on to a tree beside him, looking at the dark road in front of him, "Lu Huainan, wait for me, I'll be there soon, nothing will happen to you, no..."
