Xu Huai tried his best to fight the enemy.
But this siege had lasted for an hour, and the heavy rain kept pouring down his body. Even though he was very powerful, he was a little exhausted.
The masked killers were already waiting for the fatal blow.
Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the end of the lightning struck the old jujube tree next to the inn.
First there was a "crackling" sound, and the tall and twisted branches of the old jujube tree made a squeaking and smoking sound in the heavy rain, and then suddenly broke.
The old twisted branch directly smashed a huge pit on the ground, and the accumulated water in the pit was directly poured onto the people on both sides.
The two teams were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The water on the ground is already half a foot deep.
In the distance, you can hear the sound of "clang clang" collision.
The leader of the masked killers took a look and immediately gestured to the people behind him.
A group of people retreated quickly.
Xu Huai was left with a slight sigh of relief.
A moment later, the innkeeper emerged from under the table with a look of embarrassment on his face. Looking at the mess on the floor, he didn't know what to say.
I saw that the half-broken door was creaking and shaking in the wind and rain, bringing in a lot of rainwater.
There are only a few usable seats and benches left.
The roof is also leaking.
A group of guests who had finally checked in before the rain started had already quietly slipped away when the fight broke out.
The boss stood in the house, feeling like crying but unable to cry.
The rain soaked his trouser legs.
He finally determined that these people in front of him were probably his only hope.
The boss kept wiping the rain off his face, mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Sir, you...you guys fought and damaged our shop..."
Xu Huai turned his head with sword in hand and looked at the person who came.
The boss was immediately frightened and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no compensation."
Xu Huai took off his purse and handed it over. "Fifty taels, is that enough?"
The boss bowed his head and said, "That's enough, thank you very much, sir."
Seeing the heavy rain pouring in, he immediately led the guards away.
An hour later.
Waves of panicked shouts spread throughout the entire Xixuan City.
"The Dragon King is angry!"
"The Dragon King is angry, the Xuan River has burst its banks, everyone, run to higher ground!"
"We haven't seen such heavy rain in a hundred years. God is killing us!"
"Ah! my home, my home!"
…
Xuan River is the mother river of Xixuan City, nurturing generations of people here.
Since it started raining yesterday, the water level of Xuan River has started to rise sharply.
The people in the city were still thanking the heavy rain for taking away the heat.
He had no idea that danger was coming.
Therefore, when we heard that there were many water leaks on the embankment this morning, the government began to evacuate the people.
The wealthy people in the city were the first to get the news and rushed to drive away and run towards the nearby mountains.
Subsequently, panic began to spread among the people.
The people who had donkeys and mule carts followed closely behind.
The people who had no livestock could only wade through the water. Xixuan City was built on a plain in the valley, surrounded by mountains.
The people had no choice but to drag their families and head towards the nearby barren mountains.
But although many people fled, they were still a minority.
Many people have lived here for generations and no matter how the clerks in the yamen try to persuade them, they will not hesitate.
Many elderly people are reluctant to move.
They didn't believe that heavy rain could really flood the city.
Until the sound of "clang clang" was heard.
Lightning directly broke a dam on the Xuan River, causing the Xuan River to burst its banks.
Afterwards, the river water, like a ferocious beast from ancient times, was no longer blocked and went straight to the pupae in the low-lying areas.
When Xixuan City was first built hundreds of years ago, most people lived along the river for the convenience of water access.
As the times changed, the number of people living along the river increased several times.
Therefore, when the flood came, the people suffered collectively.
As soon as Xu Huai and his friends left, the surging river water directly flooded the first floor of the inn.
The nearby residents who had not been washed away by the flood also climbed to the higher ground.
For a moment, the roofs of the houses around the inn were crowded with people.
There were constant wailing and crying sounds. Either the houses were destroyed, or the children or the elderly in the homes were separated by the flood.
But the heavy rain continued to fall, and crying could not change the outcome.
The women were tired of crying and had to huddle together and use oilcloth to block the rain.
This apocalyptic scene lasted for the entire morning.
By noon, the rain had subsided, but the river water had not receded.
The people recovered from their numbness.
Looking at their homes flooded by the flood, many people could not help but burst into tears.
Some men tried to test the water depth with bamboo poles and wooden sticks.
It almost went over my head.
How can this be tolerated?
"Oh my God, how am I supposed to live? I should have gone up the mountain!"
"Woo, woo, woo, what should I do?"
…
This side of the cave.
Chen Xinli and her family made hundreds of buns stuffed with eggs, mushrooms and wild vegetables.
As the heavy rain continued to wash away the dirt, countless streams were formed and flowed down the mountain.
The group also realized the difference in today's heavy rain.
Chen Xinli thought of the flood in her previous life.
I was also very worried.
But this is not the south, so why is it raining so heavily? Chen Xinli is very puzzled.
The view inside the cave is blocked and you can't see what's happening below.
But then bursts of noisy sounds rang out.
