Chapter 169 The Ditch Under the Torrential Rain
A light drizzle began to fall.
Li Meng felt somewhat uneasy.
Rain during a wedding is probably not a good omen.
Lu Qingqing replied, "A poor wind brings a rich rain; rainwater is wealth, a good omen."
Li Meng stopped overthinking.
Sister-in-law Linghua joked, "Why don't you just go there tonight and have the wedding ceremony tomorrow? You've already signed the marriage certificate anyway."
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Li Meng blushed.
Tian Qiao'er found it fascinating.
Li Meng had been married once before, but when she lowered her head, she looked just like a young girl.
Why are you still so shy!
She also said, "What's the big deal? You're a proper married couple, nobody can say anything about it. I'm sure you won't sleep well here tonight."
Even during thunderstorms, it's still most comforting to lie in a man's arms.
“Yes, I usually find my husband utterly repulsive, but I have to rely on him when it thunders,” Sister-in-law Linghua chimed in.
Then she blinked and said, "But Xiao Zhang is still... tall and strong, he probably can't resist hugging someone. By the way, Qingqing, is Xiao Zhang cured yet? Is it okay for him to sleep with women?"
“Xiao Zhang? What’s wrong with him? He’s fine.” Lu Qingqing said.
I had originally planned to give Li Meng more injections to make her feel bad, but I haven't gone these past few days, and the injection marks on my body must have healed by now.
With those muscles, how could he not be good?
“I told you it would be no problem. Look at that physique, he could do it three times a night without any problem.”
Tian Qiao'er clicked her tongue: "I estimate more than that. Don't forget, alcohol can enhance the mood, and this is his first time getting married."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
She truly witnessed the power of married women. Were the ancients reserved?
Behind closed doors, he's incredibly fierce!
Li Meng asked nervously, "Three times what? Drinking to liven things up means you have to hit someone?"
"??????"
After a moment of stunned silence, Linghua's sister-in-law and Tian Qiao'er burst into laughter together.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Zhang doesn't hit people! How could he possibly hit people? He's always glued to you!"
The two of them quickly figured it out.
Liang Youtian wasn't good before; he probably couldn't even last one time, let alone three or four!
"Xiao Meng, you can rest assured now that you've married Xiao Zhang! It's fortunate that no one knows he has a wealthy family background and that he's brothers with the county magistrate's son all these years, otherwise he would have been snatched away long ago."
Many families in the village are filled with regret!
Linghua and Tian Qiao'er exchanged a few more words before she left.
Li Meng held onto Lu Qingqing, preventing her from leaving.
"Qingqing, what did they mean by what they were saying just now? What does 'three times in one night' mean?"
Lu Qingqing: "..."
No, ask her?
Officially, isn't she still an unmarried young woman?
Did you do this on purpose?!
"Three times, the first time it's raw, the second time it's cooked, the third and fourth times it's flesh to flesh, the fifth and sixth times it's rolled into a ball, the seventh and eighth times it's a baby inside."
Seeing Li Meng's blank expression, Lu Qingqing was also puzzled.
"It's just about having sex. Maybe three times! Maybe four or five times. Anyway, if you're willing, then go ahead. If you're not, then kick me out."
"How can there be a second time? Wasn't it... over already?"
Li Meng looked completely innocent and utterly bewildered.
Lu Qingqing is really...
What's going on? She's unmarried and she's trying to educate a married man about some kind of thing.
Well, what can I do? She's a doctor.
Little did anyone know that when Lu Qingqing broke down the details and explained them to Li Meng, she discovered a huge secret!
I knew Liang Youtian was useless, but I didn't know he was this useless!
The little kid is deficient in nutrients, a complete novice!
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Then I have to tell you properly, you might feel pain, so tell Xiao Zhang in advance and ask him to be gentle..."
...
Next door, in Xiao Zhang's home.
Li Laogua, along with his third and fourth brothers, the village head, Liu Erzhu, and others, discussed the next day's schedule with Xiao Zhang, arranging for the aunt to cook and a host of other tasks.
It was quite late by the time we finished discussing it.
The rain never stopped; in fact, it seemed to be getting heavier.
Under the eaves, a tall, elegant man gazed up at the night sky shrouded in dark clouds, as still as a sculpture.
"Brother!" Xiao Zhang ran over, worriedly asking, "Won't this rain keep going tomorrow? Isn't that bad luck?"
"What's so unlucky about it? Some people get married under the bright sunshine, and they still end up arguing. Marrying someone you love is a great blessing. What does it have to do with the weather?"
The voice was gentle yet firm, and it could be clearly heard even amidst the sound of raindrops.
Xiao Zhang grinned.
"Brother is right."
Li Laogua and the others all nodded in agreement.
The magistrate's son has a very pleasant way of speaking.
Another day of envying Xiao Zhang.
In the middle of the night, Xu Rui slept on his private kang (heated brick bed).
Xiao Zhang is the same.
He talked excitedly for a long time before finally falling asleep.
The pattering rain is a soothing melody, but Xu Rui just couldn't fall asleep.
He sat up abruptly when a thunderclap exploded overhead.
Xiao Zhang simply did a somersault and jumped up.
"I heard a tiger roar! Where? Where?"
"It's not a tiger's roar, it's thunder."
Is it thundering?
It seems so.
"Why is the rain getting heavier? Won't the crops be flooded again?"
Xu Rui had already put on his coat in the dark.
"Brother Lin, I can't officiate your wedding tomorrow. I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave immediately."
I wish you a happy marriage and a long and loving life together.
"Brother, it's raining outside!"
"It's alright."
Xu Rui had already gone out, and Xiao Zhang quickly followed, "Brother, where are you going? I'll go with you and help you catch the train."
"No, you stay home and have a proper wedding tomorrow. I'll come back and ask you for the wedding feast later."
Xu Rui led out the horse from under the shed, without harnessing it to a carriage, and went straight out the door, mounted the horse, and rode away in the heavy rain.
Xiao Zhang was so anxious he was jumping up and down, wondering what could possibly require him to brave the heavy rain.
It's so dark and the road is so slippery, be careful not to fall.
Ptooey!
Of course it won't fall!
After leaving the village, Xu Rui headed directly towards the irrigation canal.
Perhaps it was a lingering trauma from the past, but he always felt uneasy.
It was a rainy night like that, and the water channel, which everyone thought was indestructible, suddenly overflowed.
The scene of collapsed buildings and corpses strewn everywhere is still vivid in my mind.
This must never be allowed to happen again!
Although he was wearing a raincoat, his head, face, and clothes were still soaked by the wind and rain as he sped along.
Finally, I saw the Cuilan River under the rain curtain.
A canal stretching for over ten kilometers, irrigating and sustaining thousands of hectares of crops.
At this moment, it's like a beast that has been lying dormant for a long time, beginning to stretch its limbs restlessly.
The rain became heavier and more torrential.
The sky looked like an overturned basin.
A rough bolt of lightning cleaved the sky, illuminating the dam.
Xu Rui dismounted and ran over.
Use your hand as a ruler, your foot as a stepping stone, and measure in your heart.
No, no!
The dam shifted three inches due to water pressure, which inevitably means... there must be a breach somewhere!
We must find a way to stop the onslaught immediately; otherwise, if the entire Ming'an County is overrun, it will be in grave danger!
His fears have come true!
