For fear of causing panic, Ling Jiheng did not tell anyone about Chi Xingyue's speculation.
He whispered a few words of comfort, and took the opportunity to send a signal to Ling Yi and the others before continuing to push the cart.
Because the son is more capable than his father, the responsibility of pulling the cart fell on Ling Weicheng.
Men in their thirties or nearly forty are in their prime, but unfortunately they have been living a life of luxury for many years and have few muscles on their bodies.
He was out of breath after just a short while.
Shu Muyun and Chi Xingyue helped on both sides of the cart. Even the little Shu Rui sat on the cart and didn't dare to cause trouble for the adults.
Time passed little by little, and suddenly a strong wind blew.
The thick layer of wood ash on the ground was blown up by the strong wind, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
He rested for two minutes, covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth, and then got back on the road.
It was really hard to walk, neither going up nor down. Lying on the mountainside, I always felt that one foot was light and the other was heavy.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the arc was so close to the top of the mountain that it seemed that it could strike one's head.
It was as if a switch was turned on. After a loud bang, dense lumps of ice fell from the sky.
The small ones are the size of soybeans, and the large ones are as big as eggs.
"Oh my god, what kind of weather is this? It's killing me!"
Many people screamed and tried to hide, but there was no way to hide. There was not even a normal tree around.
Crackling, clanging, clanging...
The pebble-sized hailstones hit him, and it hurt so much that Chi Xingyue wanted to take out her umbrella to hide.
It was impossible to move forward. Many people had big bumps on their foreheads, and Gao Hongbin even had his skin broken.
He thought he could avoid it by tearing off a piece of oil paper, but he found that the hail had directly penetrated the oil paper.
The sharp edge cut his forehead and blood spurted out.
Chi Xingyue hurriedly stuffed Shu Rui under the car and hid himself inside.
Unfortunately, she was too big to fit in. She could only stuff her head under the cart, leaving her back and buttocks outside.
Although there are certain risks in doing so, she can't think of a better way.
Ling Jiheng hurriedly asked the Ling family to do as he was told. If they couldn't cover themselves, they should squat down with their hands on their heads to protect themselves to the greatest extent possible.
The exiled prisoners had shelter, but Gao Hongbin and the others didn't.
I wanted to requisition a few carts to cover the area, but I was afraid that it would be too drastic and cause resistance from the crowd.
After thinking about it, he raised his foot and kicked the burnt tree trunk. After two kicks, he actually kicked it down.
He quickly asked someone to do it, and then put the tree trunk on the box.
Although the process was a bit difficult, at least there was a place for my brain to rest.
It's my back that's been hit so hard.
Chi Xingyue's consciousness sank into space to calculate the duration of the hailstorm.
Seeing this, Ling Jiheng pushed the person under the cart and put out his hands to protect the place where he couldn't squeeze in.
In short, the little fairy didn't suffer any harm.
"Heng'er, are you protecting me too tightly?" Ling Weicheng tried to find a way to be happy, feeling a little jealous.
Ling Jiheng said, "You can do the same!"
Shu Muyun rolled his eyes at him, and he thought to himself, what a heartless boy, he really forgot his mother now that he got a wife.
Ling Jiheng pursed his lips and took out a bag of raisins from his arms: "Mom, try it!"
Shu Muyun immediately smiled and felt that her son was better and more reliable than her husband.
He opened the oil paper package, ate one himself and fed one to Shu Rui. He glanced at Chi Xingyue and saw that she was in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Mom, don't worry about Xingyue, just eat by yourself!"
Shu Muyun nodded and started a new round of distribution.
Ling Weicheng waited for a long time but was not fed. He was stunned for a moment: "Wife?"
Shu Muyun then reluctantly gave the other person a deflated one and reminded him, "Eat sparingly!"
But the second master, who was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, was very happy.
The atmosphere in the second branch of the Ling family was harmonious, but the other families were almost quarreling.
Either this person's butt is wide, or that person's head is big.
There are also those who dislike women for taking space with them.
In short, it was very exciting, but no one gave in.
***
Ling Yi and his companions, who were far away from here, immediately took action after seeing their master's signal.
The master said it was dangerous, but what kind of danger was that? Was it them, the master, or the mountain?
In order to find out what was going on, several people desperately rode their horses to drive the carriage. When they were about to catch up with Ling Jiheng, the sky and the earth changed color and the horses neighed.
Fortunately, there is a roof that can temporarily block the hail.
But there was something as big as an egg inside, and it soon broke the hollow wooden window.
There was a banging sound above their heads, as if knocking on their hearts.
Only then did they understand what danger their master meant.
But there is no place to hide in the wilderness, so we can only leave it to fate.
***
Normally, hailstorms would pass in three to five minutes, but the fire in this area lasted for a quarter of an hour.
Chi Xingyue felt Ling Jiheng's care, and it would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
I pulled his hand over and found it was red and swollen, with tiny scars on it.
My eyes are a little red, my heart is a little bitter, and my back hurts a little.
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and pinched her skinny face, then said with a smile, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."
After saying that, he placed his hands on her back, covering her spine perfectly.
Chi Xingyue held his other hand and couldn't say anything.
Gradually, the egg-sized hailstones disappeared, leaving only some fingernail-sized ones falling down in bits and pieces.
Although these hailstones hurt when they hit the body, they did not cause any injuries. Some people were particularly curious and stuck their heads out to check the situation.
The dark mountain suddenly turned white, and the ground was covered with crystal clear ice lumps.
The thickness was one foot deep, and it rolled down the hillside like a river.
If they hadn't chosen a good location, they would have been swept away by the huge torrent and thrown off the cliff.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was glad that Ling Jiheng had shown them a clear way out, so that they were not completely wiped out.
Another ten minutes passed and the hail completely stopped, but the rain was getting heavier.
The group of people came out from under the car in fear, and were shocked by the sudden drop in temperature.
Chi Xingyue rubbed his hands, feeling that the temperature was only around 10 degrees Celsius. He had no idea how the temperature had dropped so suddenly from over 40 degrees Celsius.
One of them couldn't help but sneeze loudly, and the others also started to have runny noses.
Ling Jiheng touched the wet clothes on his body and felt that even if he took them off and gave them to the little fairy, they would not be able to keep her warm.
He sighed and looked around, feeling lucky that this was a raised area. The rain and hail subconsciously retreated to both sides.
Gao Hongbin was also shocked by the scene before him. In all his life, he had never seen such heavy rain and hail.
I never thought that it would turn into winter in the middle of summer. If I had known earlier, I should have brought some thick clothes or a quilt.
