My Supernatural Life of Leisure
Chapter 2436: Quiet and Noise (two chapters in one)
The wind howled, the rain poured down, and the sky and the earth were covered by a hazy rain curtain.
The residents hiding at home, listening to the sounds caused by the terrible weather outside, became very nervous.
Especially for residents living in low-lying areas, the scene of the flood that occurred not long ago is still vivid in their minds.
Now the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is about to exceed the previous heavy rain. Everyone is in a very heavy mood, and some of the more fragile people can't help crying.
The sound of wind and rain interweaves and floats in the air, and other sounds suddenly sound in the rain curtain.
"Everyone hold on."
"We must not let the flood happen here this time."
"Otherwise, we will be blamed by the higher-ups and we will be in trouble."
In the storm, many figures are busy.
These people are soldiers using drainage trucks. When the rain starts to fall, they start to operate the drainage trucks.
The rainwater in the low-lying areas is drained by the drainage trucks to the distant river, and then flows out of the city.
If the drainage trucks are not operated from the beginning, some places in the low-lying areas have serious water accumulation, and then it will become a flood.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. The rain curtain blocked his vision, but he was at a high place and could still see many busy figures in the rain curtain.
The drainage truck was running fast, and the rainwater was discharged into the river. Under the watchful eyes of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the rainwater accumulated in the low-lying areas could not cause floods for the time being.
"These people are hard-working enough."
"The officials in charge of this matter have not slacked off, otherwise the residents living in the low-lying areas would have suffered tonight."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at what was happening in the distance and muttered to himself. As time passed, the same thing happened in various places in the city.
Thunder and lightning exploded.
Silver-white lightning flashed, instantly illuminating the dark night sky.
Because the frequency of thunder and lightning was too high, the sky was like daylight for a while.
"Don't hit the buildings with these thunders!"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the thunder and lightning falling from the sky and felt a little worried.
Fortunately, more than an hour has passed, and no lightning has struck the building.
However, the soldiers who used the drainage truck in the rain were not in good condition. They ran the drainage truck with all their strength to drain the accumulated water into the river.
The clothes on their bodies were soaked by the rain. It was okay to stay in the rain for a short time. After a long time, the body heat was taken away by the rain and it was easy to get seriously ill.
"Why didn't you arrange for people to rotate?"
"These people have been so busy. Even if their bodies are made of iron, they can't stand it."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead frowned. In fact, others have considered his concerns, but now in order to capture the rebels, manpower is needed in various places in the city.
In the case of insufficient manpower, the manpower required for the operation of the drainage truck seems to be a little insufficient.
Fortunately, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the city lord's mansion has also thought of this.
So the matter of capturing the rebels will be put aside for a while, and now all efforts are made to mobilize manpower to ensure that there will be no floods in the city.
Many soldiers appeared on the road, and teams of soldiers rushed to the place where the drainage truck was in operation.
Under the watchful eyes of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the soldiers who were already exhausted were replaced by the newly arrived soldiers.
Many people listened to the noise outside, lying on the bed, feeling uneasy and unable to fall asleep for a long time.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The noise outside the window continued for a long time without stopping, until the rain began to subside at dawn, and the noise outside was reduced.
…………
The next morning.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was sleeping soundly on the bed. He was not unable to fall asleep because of the noise outside last night.
There was nothing to say about the others being affected.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had been in worse places, so he would not be unable to fall asleep because of some noisy noises.
Now it was dawn.
The light squeezed into the room through the gap in the window.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead opened his eyes, yawned, got up from the bed, came to the table, picked up the kettle and drank water.
It was very quiet outside this morning, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of last night.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drank the water to quench his thirst, and immediately came to the window, opened the window and looked out.
It had been raining all night, and it had stopped at this time.
The sky outside the window was clear, without a single dark cloud.
It rained so hard last night, and the sky was gloomy, as if it was right in front of us.
I didn't expect the weather to change so much after dawn, which was quite surprising.
The street was very quiet at this moment, probably because it was still early at this time.
A sound suddenly sounded not far away.
Someone opened the door of a shop on the roadside, and the waiter walked out of the shop. Seeing that there was no water on the street, he showed a happy smile on his face.
It rained so hard yesterday, and he was very worried that the rain would flood the shop.
If the shop was damaged, he would lose his job, and his family needed the salary from his job, so the tension can be imagined.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the waiter opening the shop and moved the sandbags at the door away.
Not long after, many shops on this street opened their doors and began to move the sandbags blocking the door to other places.
…………
After breakfast, I came out of the inn.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood on the street, looking at the lively street scene that had returned, and couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was about to get on the carriage, many soldiers appeared in the distance.
The passers-by who saw this scene were very curious and set their sights on the soldiers.
After a busy night yesterday, there was no serious flood in the city.
Now it's dawn, the rain has stopped, and the arrest of rebels is about to begin again.
Teams of soldiers began to search to find out the rebels who had caused trouble before.
The merchants who opened their doors to do business showed a distressed expression on their faces, but the situation was stronger than people, and they could only cooperate with the soldiers who came to search.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked for a few minutes, shook his head, then got on the carriage and asked the driver to take him to the city gate.
Yesterday, because of the rebels, the gate of the city was strictly controlled, and only people outside the city were allowed to enter the city, and people inside the city were not allowed to leave the city.
Now a day has passed, and the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead believes that the residents in the city should be able to leave the city today based on experience.
A moment later.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the city.
When the carriage stopped, the captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead got off the car and looked at the city gate in the distance.
As he thought, it was much more convenient to enter and exit the city gate today than yesterday.
Although there were many people queuing at the gate of the city, and the speed of leaving the city was not fast, it was better to leave the city now than not being able to leave.
The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead paid the carriage fee and walked quickly to the team in front.
He lined up at the end of the team, moving a distance from time to time.
Time passed, and after about an hour, the sun rose higher and higher in the sky, and the sunlight falling on his body became a little hot.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead passed through the city gate and came out of the city.
It rained very heavily yesterday, and some places outside the city were flooded.
For example, a forest not far away was flooded by rain because of the rain, and the ground turned into a muddy swamp.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead hurried to his destination. He avoided the muddy places and spent more time than usual to walk more than ten kilometers away.
Standing on the high slope and looking into the distance, he found that the next road was more difficult to walk.
Because of the heavy rain, there were more swamps, and it was impossible to reach the destination in less time than usual.
"Alas..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sighed a few times, and then continued to walk forward. He had already walked a long distance, and it was not good to return because the road was too difficult to walk.
It was quiet around.
Occasionally, the wind blew, blowing the flowers, plants and trees, making a rustling sound.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that the road was very quiet today. The last few times he came out of the city, even when it was quiet, there were always some birds singing.
I walked such a long way today, but I didn't see a single bird, let alone birds singing.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked around vigilantly, and at the same time, he used his mental perception to explore.
There was no psychic fluctuation in the surrounding area, and it was almost impossible for strange beasts to exist.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead avoided the muddy swamp and suddenly found a place with many footprints.
He came to the front of these footprints and observed carefully, and found that the depth of these footprints was deeper than the footprints of ordinary people.
After a little thought, he made some judgments in his mind.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead speculated that the footprints were made by soldiers in armor.
When he was queuing to leave the city at the gate before, he heard the soldiers guarding the gate say that the people sent out of the city yesterday did not return to the city.
The footprints extended forward, and I wonder what the current situation of the soldiers sent outside the city is.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead still had a mission to complete, so he naturally couldn't waste time tracking down.
He stood up and continued to go to the place where he was doing the mission.
There was a flat grassland more than ten kilometers away from the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
There were many fully armed soldiers lying on this grassland. Each soldier was pale, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation or life breath on his body.
These soldiers were all dead, killed by the rebels.
Yesterday, we received an order saying that there was a rebel hideout outside the city, so the city mobilized soldiers to encircle and suppress it.
After arriving at the place, the rebels were found by these soldiers, and a war was about to break out.
Unexpectedly, there were powerful masters among the rebels, and these soldiers were directly killed, and none of them escaped.
A figure suddenly appeared on a big rock. This person had previously used supernatural powers to become invisible and squatted in this place for a long time.
"Strange."
"It's been a long time since we killed these soldiers. Didn't the officials in Zecheng notice anything was wrong?"
This man is a rebel, with a burly figure and a strong spiritual energy fluctuation.
He stayed here to see if there were any reinforcements, but after waiting for a long time, no soldier came to this place.
The rebel was very confused. He had no time to stay here. He jumped off the stone and turned away.
A few hours later.
The ground became dry under the sunlight.
A team of cavalry appeared in the distance. These cavalry were the personal guards of the city lord's mansion. Each of them had strong strength.
They ran all the way to the place where the battle broke out.
Seeing the dead and wounded soldiers, the faces of these cavalry were very ugly.
…………
The sun was setting.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was a little tired after a busy day. He returned the same way after completing the task.
Along the way, he encountered several strange beasts.
When he went out in the morning, he did not encounter any strange beasts. It should be because of the heavy rain that many strange beasts hid.
When the rain stopped and the ground became dry, the hiding strange beasts began to wander out again.
This makes it easy to encounter strange beasts in the afternoon. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead encountered three attacks from strange beasts today in order to complete the task.
There were several times when the strange beasts saw him, but did not attack, but followed him from a distance.
After a long journey, he finally saw Zecheng.
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head and looked back.
He found that there were many vehicles in the distance, and there were soldiers guarding around.
"Are they transporting supplies?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw these vehicles and naturally thought that they were transporting important supplies, because there were so many soldiers guarding. If it was not important supplies, it would be a waste of manpower.
As the distance between the two sides approached, the soldiers saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead staring at the convoy, and immediately became serious and alert.
"Cough."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead coughed awkwardly, did not continue to stare at this special convoy, and then walked towards Zecheng in the distance first.
When he entered the city, the caravan he had met not long ago also entered the city.
Someone in the city met them, and more soldiers protected the caravan.
The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead became more curious when he saw this scene, but if he wanted to know the details, he had to ask the government officials to know.
"I've been a little curious recently."
"This is not a good thing."
"I have to be more careful in the future."
The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the caravan that was protected by many soldiers and left, talking to himself, and then he took a carriage back to the inn.
