Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11117

Yang Ruoqing sent Da'an away, took a look at the wind and rain outside, changed her clothes, left a message to Luo the blacksmith, and plunged into the night and wind and rain.

After leaving the yard and walking on the road leading to the village, the cold wind and heavy rain hit her face, like a knife cutting her, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't even open her eyes.

Fortunately, she was prepared and took out the goggles she had prepared in advance and put them on her eyes.

Speaking of these goggles, that's quite interesting.

Yang Ruoqing had wanted this pair of goggles for a long time, but she had never been able to find it. This time, Luo Fengtang brought it back from the capital.

According to him, this thing was obtained by Chen'er, who bought it at a high price from a Western merchant on the sea.

I bought four, two for my two younger brothers, and two for my mother and sister.

The quality of this pair of goggles is very good. It not only protects your eyes in windy and rainy weather, but also allows you to see while swimming.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are still young and have not started learning to swim yet. When they learn to swim, this knowledge will come in handy.

But Yang Ruoqing's goggles have already come in handy.

She wore goggles and a straw raincoat and walked in the wind and rain.

It's impossible to hold an umbrella in this weather. It will be blown over in an instant.

When walking past the pond dam, Yang Ruoqing saw that the water level of the pond under the dam had risen significantly. It used to be nearly six meters away from the dam, but now, it was less than three meters.

  The water level is rising a bit scary. It has only been raining for a day and a night and it is like this? If the pond is like this, what will happen to the big river at the foot of the mountain behind the village?

She couldn't think about those things now. The ground was slippery. If she got distracted again, she would slip into the pond. Not to mention helping Luo Fengtang, even her own safety would be threatened.

We finally passed the pond safely and arrived near the old maple tree.

On this night of lightning and thunder, smart people would try to stay away from this old maple tree, because it is too large and can easily attract lightning.

So Yang Ruoqing tried her best to walk around and keep a certain distance from the old maple tree. Fortunately, there was no thunder and lightning during this period.

However, just as she was about to walk out of this side, there were bursts of heavy muffled sounds like the grinding of a stone mill in the night sky. It was brewing, but it was not real thunder.

Thunder follows lightning.

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning with green edges and red in the middle, like a huge split branch, suddenly flashed in the night sky above for three seconds.

These three seconds illuminate everything around as bright as day.

After a short day, darkness followed, and in the darkness, thunder like a breaking gong fell from the sky.

If the lightning just now was going to split the sky into several pieces, then the thunder was really like a huge ferocious beast lurking above Yuncheng, with its mouth as big as a black hole, ready to devour everything on the ground at any time.

  However, at the moment when day and night alternated, Yang Ruoqing saw something hanging upside down on one of the branches of the old maple tree not far away!

The thing was pitch black and looked like a person hanging upside down.

Yang Ruoqing was startled, and her body's instinctive reaction was to dodge backwards, but the muscle memory of a martial artist made her pull out the Nine-Bone Black Gold Whip from her waist...

Another bolt of lightning struck.

Several red fireballs rolled down the tree trunk and rushed into the ground.

With the help of the firelight, Yang Ruoqing looked at the treetops again, but found nothing!

  Was it my eyes that were dazzled before?

The wind and rain continued to rage, and Yang Ruoqing remained alert, pulling the whip and quickly leaving the old maple tree, running towards the back of the village. It had been raining all day, and there were thunder and lightning at night. Every household in the village had already hidden in their beds.

In front of nature, human beings are as weak as ants. Our respect for nature applies to all species.

Especially the thunder that struck overhead, causing the earth to tremble and the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.

There was no one in the village. Even the dogs, which usually loved to bark, shut their mouths, tucked their tails and hid in the haystacks and corners, curling up into a ball...

Such a big village has no vitality or life tonight.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want to think about that. What she cared about most now was Luo Fengtang and her father Yang Huazhong...

She left the village and behind it were large tracts of farmland.

You have to cross a ridge that is more than two meters wide and a hundred meters long before you can reach the river dam...

The crops in the fields, including winter wheat and rapeseed, had just emerged when they were all soaked in rain.

This spring rain that is as precious as oil... now it is really not as precious as oil, it is a disaster. The villagers’ winter wheat and rapeseed this season are going to be ruined.

Yang Ruoqing discovered a strange phenomenon.

The closer you get to the river dam at the foot of the mountain, the more violent the wind and rain become, and the more frequent the thunder and lightning become.

Walking on the river dam, Yang Ruoqing felt inexplicably frightened when she saw the dim river water surging and roaring in the riverbed which had almost dried up a few days ago.

That frightening feeling is like someone holding two pieces of dry ice against your ribs, the chill running down from your chest, making you shiver...

She didn't even dare to look into the river any further. After using her goggles to identify the direction, she headed towards Lijia Village.

"Tang boy!

"Tang Yazi!"

Even though she knew that her voice would soon be torn and distorted in the wind and rain, and that there was only a very small chance that Luo Fengtang would hear it, Yang Ruoqing still shouted.

Because she was always worried that Luo Fengtang was nearby...

She kept shouting all the way towards Lijia Village. She didn't know how long she had walked before she heard a very strange sound coming from a long distance behind her.

At first she thought it was thunder, the sound of water...

But later she felt that the sound was very strange, like the cry of a buffalo.

However, she had heard the roar of buffaloes many times, but no buffalo in the village could roar so loudly on such a stormy night.

Besides, cows are precious things, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to raise buffaloes.

Often, several families jointly raise one buffalo and provide it with good food and drink. After all, it is the main labor force. Who would be willing to leave the buffalo outside on such a bad night?

  What exactly is that?

That kind of voice has an indescribable deterrent power, sad, irritable, and full of hostility...

This made Yang Ruoqing's steps slow down a lot. It was as if lead was poured between her legs. She walked slower and slower. The wind and rain came towards her, forming a wall of wind and rain that blocked her from moving forward.

Even when passing a slippery area, her foot slipped and she was about to fall into the river.

The surging river water rushed down from above, and it seemed as if there was a huge danger lurking in the river...
