In one day, black clouds enveloped the entire Wuning County. To be precise, the entire Jiangnan is under dark clouds.
It started to rain after nightfall.
The tail of lightning burns black clouds, and the feet of rain fly into silver threads.
The howling wind blew away thatched roofs, and the rain became more and more intense, like overturning the river and sea.
After a few days of work, the Huziyuan has been roughly completed. The whole building is made of wood and stone frame, which can withstand wind and rain.
A group of fox prisoners huddled in a room, looking through the window at the black clouds rolling in the sky, lightning and thunder.
As soon as the lightning flashed, they were so frightened that they crowded together, covered their ears, and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
The power of heaven and earth is beyond what these little foxes can resist.
In addition, their practice has gone astray, their auras are mixed, their spirits are unstable, and they are extremely susceptible to the effects of thunder.
In such weather, not to mention them, even Gong Mengbi would not dare to escape from the Spirit God easily, as he would be easily struck by lightning.
It rained heavily all night, and the river swelled overnight.
After dawn, the rain calmed down slightly, but showed no sign of stopping.
You must know that long before this, Jiangnan had been raining intermittently for nearly a month.
Coupled with the heavy downpour overnight, countless fertile fields were submerged in the water.
Farmers stood on the roadside one after another, and they could no longer see where the fields were and where the roads were.
It's over.
The rain is still falling, and all low-lying areas have been flooded. Dongyang County's developed water system now revealed its extremely ruthless side.
The river rose and broke its banks.
Countless roofs were blown down by strong winds overnight, and countless families were left without a place to stay.
Food and belongings were all soaked in water, up to their ankles and thighs.
The flood is coming.
Everyone is running away, to higher ground, to the county seat, to any place where they can survive.
It's not just people on the run.
Previously, when Gong Mengbi sent the fox prisoner down the mountain to release the news, most of the fox demons were warned and the warning was spread.
But there are also a small number of people who refuse to believe in evil.
The fox in Ma Shenpo's house in Xixia Township is one of them.
It's not that she doesn't believe it at all, it's more that she thinks she can control everything, and she hates Fox Slope.
She didn't go when Gong Mengbi Hupo summoned the foxes. She was unwilling to bow to others.
But one night of wind and rain, Xixiaxiang was completely submerged in water because it was located in a low-lying area.
In the middle of the night, some people beat gongs and drums to escape to higher ground.
The old fox was one step ahead and woke up Ma Shenpo and her two sons. He hurriedly packed up his belongings and carried the old mother and Fox Fairy on his back to the higher place.
Thunder and lightning roared at night, and the fox fairy hid in the basket on his back and shivered.
These two good sons couldn't move fast at all, carrying two burdens and a lot of wealth. The old mother, Ma Shenpo, was shocked by the thunder and lost consciousness. She was also caught in the rain and had a high fever at that time.
Between escaping for their lives, their belongings, and their old mother who didn't know if she could survive this ordeal, these two good sons chose to run away with their belongings on their backs.
He abandoned his old mother in the mountains, and because he was afraid of the fox fairy's revenge, he strangled the old fox to death and threw them together in the mountains.
It's not that I don't want a fox fairy, it's just that I don't have the talent.
Although Ma Shenpo is old, she has the talent to communicate with the gods, but her tall and tall son is not completely incapable of this ability.
Ma Shenpo and Lao Hu have been together for a lifetime, and they are called gods and believers. In fact, they are almost like mother and daughter.
Just to take care of the Horse Goddess, the old fox never left. Even though the Horse Goddess was old and faint, he never left her.
If Gong Mengbi hadn't intervened, Kang Yunu and Zhao Yuniang would probably develop like this in the future.
The old fox can leave long ago.
After Ma Shenpo gave birth to a child, she no longer had much inspiration. When two pampered sons grew up, the old fox knew that these two were not good friends.
If she leaves, the useless Ma Shenpo will definitely not be able to enjoy her old age.
So she has been staying in the Ma family to bless the Ma family with wealth, and also hopes that the old woman can enjoy her old age and die in suffering.
Knowing the friendship between the fox fairy and the old mother, and fearing the old fox's revenge, these two vicious evildoers took advantage of the thunder to strangle the old fox to death, threw them on the old mother who was suffering from high fever, divided their belongings and fled.
After all, the old fox has magic power in his body and has been worshiped by incense for many years. Now his physical body has been strangled to death, leaving only the spiritual spirit wrapped in incense, which has to be attached to the horse goddess.
Ma Shenpo had been burned to the point of unconsciousness.
The old fox controlled her body and hid under the leeward stone cave, barely surviving the night.
After dawn, he completely mastered this old body. Ma Shenpo didn't survive, so she left first at night.
Looking around blankly, the old fox cried out in pain.
Affected by thunder and lightning, countless fox holes were flooded, and the foxes were drowned in them.
After dawn, the fox spirits who were lucky enough to survive were rushing to Fox Slope for help, including Ma Shenpo.
Compared to village communities, county towns are much better.
During the construction, open ditches and culverts were built taking into account the flooding factor.
It rained heavily overnight, so the county magistrate rushed to recruit people to dredge ditches and plug the gaps. They worked all night. Although they were flooded, when the rain dropped in the morning, the water began to recede.
The county magistrate summoned various county officials to discuss how to deal with it, and Liu Sheng was naturally among them.
The magistrate asked immediately: "How can we settle this matter?"
Liu Sheng said: "Your Excellency should immediately send people to check the disaster situation in various villages, communes and townships, organize emergency repairs of rivers, report the disaster situation, and prepare for disaster relief."
"No!" the county magistrate shouted quickly, "Mr. Liu, you have been neglecting county affairs for a long time. I'm afraid you don't know the specific situation, so don't add confusion with your words."
Liu Sheng frowned. He stopped drinking for a few days, practiced martial arts again, and sharpened his spirit. At this time, he looked very different from before.
Although his face was covered with bruises, there was a sharpness in his eyes when he stared.
The county magistrate was startled: "What are you going to do! Lord magistrate, look at him!"
The county magistrate was sweating on his forehead and said: "Liu Sheng, the heavy rain has not stopped. Please take people to inspect the ditches and river embankments to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."
Liu Sheng took a deep look at the county officials present, tightened his grip on his saber, and left the county office without saying a word.
When he walked out of the door, there were sounds of relief coming from behind him.
Liu Sheng paused for a moment and heard someone say: "This stubborn donkey looks scary to death."
"Just drive him out. Let's think about how to calm this matter down."
Liu Sheng looked gloomy, his eyelids drooped, and he pulled a group of county officials to inspect the ditch.
Although he was decadent and uninterested in official duties, he was not a fool. How could he not see the dirty things going on in the yamen.
It was nothing more than dereliction of duty, failure to report water conditions, failure to dredge rivers, and therefore did not dare to report the matter.
No... maybe the dredging account was already mentioned in the official document, but he did not do anything and made a fortune.
Liu Sheng stepped into the water with an umbrella, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the depression in his heart almost came out.
