the next morning.
when I woke up.
The sky was gloomy and the storm still didn't stop.
Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the coffin shop, you can see that the world is still hazy and rainy outside.
Raindrops as big as soybeans hit the window glass, making a crackling sound.
Yuan Fei's voice came from behind me.
"Sigh, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome now. Last night, the python monster turned into a dragon. At most, it destroyed some vegetable fields and orchards around Longduo Mountain. The damage is still within control."
"But such a heavy rain has been falling all day and there is no sign of stopping... The various losses caused by this natural disaster and the displacement of ordinary people are the most troublesome things for the court, right?"
I sighed softly.
"Uncle Yuan Fei is right... I don't know how much farmland this heavy rain will wash away and how many people's homes will be destroyed. I'm a little worried about our village. But now that the rain is so heavy, all long-distance buses and buses must have stopped. There’s no way to go back.”
Now the whole town is trying to think of ways to save themselves.
I saw that the bakery across the street was flooded with water.
The shop owner, Uncle Zhang, along with his wife and son, were using a large plastic basin to scoop water from the house to the street outside. How can you still think about making meat buns?
For today’s breakfast, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Wang Hu to continue making noodles…
In those days, not to mention mobile phones, landlines were not yet 100% popular - at least they were not installed in Lao Cao's coffin shop.
I guess you think it’s useless, right?
So I didn't receive calls one by one from my head teacher to tell me that I would not go to school today.
When I walked through the pouring rain and waded through the knee-deep water on the street to the Two Rivers Bridge.
Look ahead.
Only then did I discover that the path connecting the town to Lianghe District Middle School had actually been submerged by the surging floods!
What you see before your eyes is a vast ocean.
The town and the school, bounded by the Two Rivers Bridge, were separated by floods - or to be precise, the Two Rivers District Middle School became an "isolated island" independent of the town!
I said to myself with a helpless smile.
"It's definitely impossible to go to school and we have to take a vacation. I just don't know if the boarding students who live in the school dormitories can still go to class?"
The students admitted to Lianghe District High School come from a radius of dozens of kilometers, and most of them are boarding students - that is, they live in the student dormitories from Monday to Friday.
The only "day students" who go home every day are people from Lianghe Town or people like me who stay at the houses of relatives and friends in town...
However, there is no need to worry at all in school.
Because the terrain in Lianghe District is the highest in Lianghe Town, standing in the corridor of the teaching building can almost overlook the entire Lianghe Town.
It's just because after leaving the school gate, the path leading to the Two Rivers Bridge in the town is very low. So when the river floods, this road is submerged.
"Okay, since you can't go to school, just stay in the coffin shop. I just don't know how Yao Nan, Wang Dachun, and Zeng Jin are doing?"
I muttered in my heart and turned around to walk back. ,
…
This heavy rainstorm lasted for three days and three nights before it finally stopped.
During this period, it was said that the water in the Sichuan River outside the northern suburbs of the town was terrifying!
Standing on a higher mountaintop and looking out, it looks like a vast ocean.
They all flooded to the road crossing in the north of the town!
Fortunately, the flood eventually stopped there.
Otherwise, as soon as the floodwaters cross the road crossing, they will immediately pour down from high places. Follow the highway and you will rush directly into Lianghe Town...
Turn the entire town into a vast ocean!
By then, I don’t know how many ordinary people will die.
It seems like luck, but I know that this may be some kind of providence!
Because for the past year and a half, I have carefully studied the Feng Shui pattern in and around Two Rivers Town. I was surprised to find that it was so good. A little too good...
A small town actually has the Feng Shui conditions to build a big city!
Of course, having a Feng Shui pattern is one thing, but whether it can eventually develop into a big city is another. This is not to say that it is 100% absolute, it is just a large probability bias.
However, because of this excellent Feng Shui, Lianghe Town, just a small town, has produced many big figures and big families that are famous throughout Sichuan, Chongqing and even the Southwest!
And I also discovered that although Lianghe Town is close to Chuanjiang, a turbulent and rich river, There are even two tributaries that meander directly around the town from south to north.
But Lianghe Town actually showed no signs of excessive "Yinshui Miasma"!
Generally speaking, towns close to large rivers will bring a lot of popularity, business agglomeration, and economic prosperity, although the Feng Shui energy flows smoothly.
But precisely because it is too close to the water, it is easy for the "yin water dampness" to accumulate. It is easy to cause various floods, or the climate is too humid and cold, making people living there prone to rheumatic diseases.
There is none in Lianghe Town!
I still haven't understood why?
What kind of feng shui pattern was formed nearby that offset some of the bad factors in Lianghe Town?
It is precisely because of this that I feel that even if Lianghe Town suffers an extremely serious flood disaster, it will not be completely destroyed by flooding!
Why?
Because according to the art of Feng Shui, a place without "dampness" is unlikely to be destroyed by floods - although it cannot be said to be 100% absolute, there is at least a 99% chance that it will not...
So when I heard that the water level of the Chuanjiang River surged to the level of the road crossing in the north of the town and then stopped, I thought that maybe the Feng Shui in Lianghe Town was indeed very good!
The heavy rain stopped and the flood gradually receded...
But some troublesome things also followed.
On the second night after the heavy rain stopped.
I returned to the coffin shop after studying at night and saw Daniel and Ergou. I was chatting with Lao Cao about something.
"Brother Danniu, are you here? Is there another family that needs to carry a coffin tonight? Let's go!"
I put my school bag into a coffin next to me and greeted them with a smile.
Daniel looked at me with a wry smile.
"Brother Wu, this time I am not going to carry a coffin for someone's funeral. I am going to carry a coffin that may be very dangerous! The owner asked me to take a look, and I already felt a little weak in my legs and feet. So I came to see Cao Coffin. The craftsman will discuss whether it can be lifted?"
What? !
I was slightly startled and felt a little incredible.
Daniu is a very famous coffin bearer in Lianghe Town and several nearby towns - not only is he very strong, but he also has a very strong horoscope and a very strong yang fire.
Many times, if the victim is relatively poor, he cannot afford the price or wants a simple solution. Just ask the four of them to take action, and you don't even need a "coffin bearer" like Lao Cao to get it done!
Coffin bearers and coffin bearers are still different...
The former is more powerful and focuses more on "strength" and "carrying the coffin" itself.
The latter knows more and more comprehensively, and pays more attention to "rules" and "taboos" and so on.
Although Da Niu and the others are certainly far less powerful than Lao Cao, they can't say that their legs and feet were so frightened that they were so scared when they saw a coffin that they weren't even sure whether they could lift it, right?
What kind of ominous coffin must it be!
I was also very curious and asked puzzledly.
"Brother Daniu, is there a zombie in that coffin?"
When they heard the word "zombie", the four people including Daniel, Ergou, and Flathead all changed their expressions. There was a look of fear in his eyes.
Lao Cao looked at me with a wry smile.
"Xiao Wu, you are a crow! I haven't determined what is in the coffin yet. Don't talk nonsense here. If you are right, it will be too troublesome to deal with. Do it. If not, you’ll have to risk your life to get in.”
Seeing how serious he looked, my mood became a little more solemn and I stopped joking.
Instead, ask Dalong and the others seriously, what is the specific situation?
Daniel replied.
"Brother Wu, we all know that you are a genius among practitioners. In the past year and a half, your progress has been incredible. From the beginning of ignorance, you have now far surpassed those of us."
"So just now I came to talk to Cao Coffin Master about this matter. He said that we should go to the scene to see the actual situation. But we have to wait until you come back from school, and we can go there and have a look together."
That's right!
Lao Cao echoed from the side.
"After all, this coffin has a strange origin. I'm worried that I might miss something by myself. It will be safer if you have Xiao Wu beside me to help."
I see……
"I understand. Then let's go to the victim's house now to see the situation on the ground? How about we talk while walking?"
I am very curious in my heart, what kind of coffin is it that can make the four of them, Da Niu, frightened, and even Lao Cao looks solemn as if he is facing a powerful enemy!
"Okay, little brother Wu, let's go there together."
So, Daniel and the four of them took me and Lao Cao out of the coffin shop and walked towards the northwest of Lianghe Town.
Along the way, Daniel also recounted the whole incident to me while he was on the road...
