"Hey, Mom, I'm at the intersection. I'll be home soon."
Jiang Che got out of the van with his schoolbag on his back, and did not forget to call home.
"Okay, be careful on the road. The meal is ready and I'll be waiting for you."
"Got it, Mom. I'm hanging up now."
Jiang Che hung up the phone, looked at the bumpy country road, and sighed.
This is where he was born and raised, the beautiful Huaxi Village, a small village under Yongning City.
Surrounded by three lush mountains, it forms a natural barrier, making Huaxi Village in the valley a paradise.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot stop young people from yearning for the outside world, especially in recent years, when a large number of young and strong laborers have gone to work in the city, leaving only some lonely elderly people and left-behind children in the village.
Walking on the slippery and muddy dirt road, it's no wonder that the driver refused to give him a ride. Some of the potholes were as deep as his knees, and he would probably scratch his gas tank after one trip.
The sun was scorching, making his scalp numb as if he was in a sauna. Jiang Che had no choice but to take off his schoolbag and put it on his head to block the sun. There was no one on the dirt road, only the chirping of birds and insects. Anyone who was timid would be scared to death.
Before they had walked far, there was a sudden rumbling sound of thunder from the horizon, followed by rolling black clouds like a tidal wave.
Jiang Che was stunned as he stared at the dark clouds. He finally made it home, and was there really such a grand welcome ceremony?!
Thick black clouds quickly covered Jiang Che's head, giving the impression that a dark cloud was pressing down on a city, ready to destroy it. A torrential rainstorm was inevitable!
Without thinking too much, Jiang Che ran towards home.
Before he ran far, a dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, scaring Jiang Che so much that he quickly squatted down and covered his ears. This was definitely a deafening thunderclap.
"Boom, crack..."
A thunderclap roared, resounding through the heavens and earth. The air was shaking, and Jiang Che had a slight tinnitus. Fortunately, he reacted in time.
This is the power of heaven and earth! So terrifying!
Thunder is the prelude to heavy rain, and sure enough, heavy rain followed.
At this moment, the sky seemed to be leaking, and heavy rain was pouring down. Jiang Che couldn't even see the road ahead.
The raindrops as big as peanuts hit his body and it hurt. It was such a heavy rain that he hadn't seen in more than ten years. He quickly protected his schoolbag under his body because it contained his treasure.
We quickly groped our way towards home. We couldn't stay in the mountains for long in such heavy rain. Not only would we be struck by lightning, but if a flash flood occurred, we would be dead.
Another strong light flashed, and a lightning bolt like a giant dragon struck the hilltop on the left, sparks flying everywhere, and then another one struck the same place.
Jiang Che was so shocked that he forgot to run. What a natural wonder! It was a pity that his phone wasn't waterproof, otherwise if he had filmed it and posted it on a short video, it would have definitely gone viral.
"Could it be that a fellow Taoist is undergoing a tribulation? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!"
Under Jiang Che's gaze, at least twenty lightning bolts struck the hilltop before the rain stopped. The rain did not get lighter but heavier. Soon the water on the road reached above Jiang Che's calves.
This was a very bad phenomenon. Suddenly, Jiang Che seemed to hear some sound. He hurriedly looked to the left and saw that the mountain that had been struck by lightning had collapsed completely.
Huge rocks, broken wood, mud and water rolled down, rushing towards Jiang Che like a landslide. Jiang Che was so scared that his soul flew away, and he could neither advance nor retreat.
Unable to sit there and wait for death, Jiang Che began to wade forward, because there was a cliff to the right of where Jiang Che was standing. If he was washed down, he would be buried alive or smashed to pieces.
While he was dodging, a branch tripped Jiang Che. Before he could get up, a big rock rolled down and hit him on the head, knocking Jiang Che unconscious.
A large amount of stones and broken wood kept coming up and buried Jiang Che. The big rocks rolled down and hit Jiang Che's waist. The unconscious Jiang Che spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sharp edge of the stone scraped Jiang Che all over his body, and blood flowed all over the ground.
At this moment, a green bead was embedded in a stone under Jiang Che. The blood stained the bead and was immediately absorbed.
After absorbing all the blood, the emerald green bead emitted a faint green light, and the light flashed into Jiang Che's body.
Then a miraculous thing happened. The bleeding in Jiang Che's area gradually stopped and healed, and his breathing became much steadier. His life was saved.
At the moment when Jiang Che got into trouble, Jiang's mother, who was heating food in the kitchen, felt her heart suddenly tighten, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"What's wrong, mother?"
When Jiang's father heard the sound, he rushed in and saw Jiang's mother, who was in a state of disarray.
Mother Jiang was shaking with nervousness, looking at the heavy rain outside with a look of horror.
"Dad, why hasn't Che'er come back yet? My heart is pounding. Did something happen on the way?"
"You crow's mouth, can't you hope for something better? The rain is a little lighter now. I'll go find Lao Er and bring some people up the mountain to look for it."
"Wait, I'm going too."
But Jiang Ma couldn't wait even a minute, and a half-grown yellow dog lying in the shack followed her.
"Yunhai Yunhai!" Jiang Yunshan ran into the yard and shouted.
Jiang Yunhai ran out immediately: "What's wrong, brother and sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yunshan frowned and said, "Jiang Che is back, but just happened to run into a torrential rainstorm that rarely happens in decades. He hasn't come back yet. Come with me to look for him."
Jiang Yunhai was shocked when he heard this.
"Ah, there's something else? Let's go find it quickly. This can't wait."
