Although this rain was not like the previous one, it poured down like a river mouth bursting its banks, but it was still a heavy rain. It poured down like a pouring water, splashing mist on the ground, and was mixed with rolling thunder.

The gray sky and the scene of lightning and thunder made people feel like it was the end of the world and the sky was about to fall!

Zhang Taiping returned home after delivering watermelons and winter melons. Even with the double protection of his umbrella and raincoat, he was still soaked in the rain.

Cai Yazhi wiped the rain off his head and said, "Can't we go and deliver him after the rain stops? We have to go and deliver him now, so hurry up and change into dry clothes."

Zhang Taiping changed into dry clothes. This was already the third time today. He opened his clothes and said, "It has been smashed out in the big summer. It will break if you leave it for a while. If you give it to someone else, it will break."

It’s better not to give it away.”

We finally rested, and the whole family was sitting in the house. Cai Yazhi also brought a bowl of ginger soup to Zhang Taiping. It was said to be ginger soup, but it was actually fish soup. There was shredded ginger in it, and a sprinkle of ginger on top.

Layer with chopped green onions and a pleasant aroma.

Zhang Taiping took a sip and let out a long sigh of relief. It was really a pleasure to drink fish soup in this weather.

Muhongyu said: "The weather is too strange. First it rained heavily, and then there was hail."

Fan Ming said: "It actually hailed. This is the first time I have seen hail."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Hail is not a good thing at this time."

Fan Ming naturally understood what Zhang Taiping meant. The rotten watermelon on the ground was the best proof, and he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

While they were talking, Ah Huang jumped in from outside, his body covered with rainwater. After entering the house, he shook his body and was immediately splashed by everyone.

Cai Yazhi took a dry cloth and wiped it on Ah Huang's body to wipe away the rainwater.

Fan Ming looked outside and said, "Hey? Why can't we see Wukong?"

Cai Yazhi looked inside the room and said, "Xiao Xi is gone too."

Just as he was talking, he saw Xiao Xi flying in, landing on the table, fluffing his feathers, folding his wings and looking a little shivering.

Cai Yazhi quickly wiped its body with a dry cloth, and then said: "I went over to give it a fire test. It looks like it may have a cold."

"Xiao Xi is back, why hasn't Wukong come back yet?" Fan Ming looked out the door and said, but the outside was covered with rain and fog, and it was so white that she couldn't see clearly.

Xing Rushui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Wukong used to live in the mountains. He knows how to avoid situations like this better than humans."

"Back!" "Back!" Just as he was saying this, the only parrots that were not wet stood on the edge of the door and shouted.

"Come back?" Fan Ming heard the parrot's cry and immediately looked outside from the door. At this moment, Wukong, who had just been fished out of the water, jumped in from the outside. Fan Ming hid quickly but was still splashed by it.

With water all over his body, he said angrily: "You monkey, I was so worried about you, but you actually splashed water all over my face."

Everyone laughed when they saw Wukong's costume. He was covered with a piece of plastic paper picked up from somewhere, and his head was covered with a few leaves with his hands. However, these equipment seemed unable to block the rain.

Wukong threw away the leaves on his head and sniffed around the room. He didn't have time to take off the plastic paper on his body and jumped to the table to pick up Zhang Taiping's bowl to drink the fish soup. However, Zhang Taiping took the bowl away.

"First wipe off the water on your body, and then drink from your own bowl." Zhang Taiping said.

After hearing this, Wukong took off the plastic paper on his body, and then wiped it with a dry cloth hastily a few times. Regardless of whether it was wiped or not, he jumped to the cabinet cover and took down his own bowl, and asked Ye Ling to help him scoop out a bowl of fish soup.

. After taking it, he drank it directly and passed the bowl over. After three bowls, he burped and stopped.

Looking at the purple lightning that continued to strike from the clouds outside, Zhang Taiping said to Ye Ling: "Turn off all the electrical appliances in the house."

Ye Ling went to turn off the power in the room, and Fan Ming also jumped up and said: "Oh, my computer is still on." After saying that, he ran towards the back.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in the sky, making the originally dark sky suddenly brighten up. Before anyone could react, a thunderbolt sounded above their heads.

Zhang Taiping only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and felt a wave of nausea in his heart. Looking at the other people, they were all covering their heads in pain. At the same time, Fan Ming, who had just ran into his room, let out a scream.

.

Zhang Taiping was shocked and hurriedly ran back. Xing Rushui followed Zhang Taiping regardless of the dizziness in his head.

Fan Ming's room was a little dark because all the power was turned off. She was squatting on the edge of the kang, holding her head and moaning in pain.

Zhang Taiping went over to help her up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fan Ming rubbed his forehead and his eyes were full of moisture and said: "Just now when I was about to go out, there was a thunder, my head was dizzy for a moment, and I hit the door."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Taiping and Xing Rushui behind him breathed a long sigh of relief. The sound of thunder just now was like exploding in the ears, indicating that the lightning was generated near the top of the head.

In addition, she had just turned off the power when she came in, and he was really afraid of getting an electric shock. It would be terrible if he got an electric shock now.

"Oh, it hurts so much!" Fan Ming said, covering her forehead with her hands.

Zhang Taiping said: "Take your hands away and let me see what's going on."

Fan Ming took his hand away, and Zhang Taiping couldn't help laughing after looking at it. He saw a cyan bump on the left and right of its smooth forehead, which was exactly symmetrical. The one on the left was green and shiny.

Apparently it was just touched, as the one on the right was hit by hail earlier.

"Brother, how's it going? Is it broken?" Fan Ming asked a little worried when Zhang Taiping didn't speak. It would be very ugly if there was a scar on his forehead.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's not broken, there is one on each side, it looks better, just like the little dragon girl." The little dragon girl he mentioned is the little dragon girl in "Spring and Pig", which children like to watch.

There are two short dragon horns on his forehead.

"It hurts so much. Brother, you are still joking." Fan Ming ignored Zhang Taiping and said to Xing Rushui, "Auntie Xing, see how I am doing here?" She put her forehead to her.

Xing Rushui looked at her with a look that was both distressed and funny, but he held back his laughter and said, "It's nothing serious. I'll apply some medicine later and it'll be fine in a few days."

"Will there be scars?" Fan Ming was still worried. The forehead was too conspicuous, and a small scar would be very obvious.

"No!" Xing Rushui gave her a definite answer.

"Then give me some medicine quickly."

Zhang Taiping said: "Go to the front first, there is medicine in front."

When we got to the front, other people were still there and had not reacted to the thunder just now.

Cai Yazhi said: "What happened just now?"

Zhang Taiping said: "Maybe there was a thunder above our heads. How do you feel?"

"It's just that Zhou Ren felt dizzy and nauseous just now, and couldn't react for a while," Mu Hongyu said.

Zhang Taiping said: "I had the same feeling just now, let alone you." Then he said to Cai Yazhi, "Take out the anti-swelling medicine, Fan Ming just touched it again."

Cai Yazhi took out the medicine and looked at Fan Ming and said, "How are you going to apply the medicine while holding it?"

After Fan Ming came out, she kept covering her forehead with her hands to avoid letting others see the pimple on her forehead.

It rained for a long time and stopped in the afternoon.

We had lunch just now. While eating, Zhang Taiping said: "If there was no hail, this heavy rain would still be a good rain. It's a pity."

Cai Yazhi also sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for the hail, this year's corn harvest would have been good after the rain, but with this hail, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After dinner, Zhang Taiping said, "I'm going for a walk." Then he put on some clothes and walked toward the village, with Ghostface following him.

The layer of hail on the ground had long since melted or been washed away by the rain. There was no trace of it now. It was just that the dissipated hail absorbed the heat and caused the temperature to drop briefly. It was like autumn in the middle of summer.

It rained heavily, cleaning the mountains and trees, and the air was filled with the smell of earth, grass and trees, giving people a feeling of comfort.

The villagers also came out of their houses one after another. They met the old village chief on the road and hurriedly walked into the fields without even noticing Zhang Taiping approaching.

Zhang Taiping asked: "What are you doing, uncle, in such a hurry?"

"Oh? Marshal." The old village chief stopped and said, "It's not all caused by the hail that suddenly fell. Let's go and see what kind of damage there is in my field. Alas!" He let out a long sigh.

tone.

"Then let's go take a look together." Zhang Taiping said.

As they walked into the field, the old village chief asked: "When it rained just now, I saw you carrying watermelons to give to people. How was the damage in the field?"

Zhang Taiping shrugged and said: "There are basically no good melons in the watermelon field."

"The loss is not small. If yours is like this, Wang Laoqiang's must be like this too. Alas!"

Zhang Taiping said: "The watermelons are almost off the shelves now. There are not many melons on the vines, so we haven't lost much."

"That's good."

When the two of them arrived at Wang Laoqiang's farm first, the couple were eating watermelons that had been smashed to the point of being inedible. There were already a lot of them piled up on the edge of the farm, which looked a little distressing.

The old village chief sighed and said, "What a pity, what a pity."

"Who says it isn't?" Wang Laoqiang came over and handed out a cigarette to each of them and said, "Fortunately, this hail fell when Xigua was playing. If it had been more than twenty days earlier, it would really have been terrible.

Live. Now these can only be taken back to feed the pigs."

After watching Wang Laoqiang for a while, the two walked towards Wang Shunyou's field. Wang Shunyou and his wife were wearing high rubber boots and walking back and forth in the field to check the condition of the tomato seedlings."

"How is it?" the old village chief asked Wang Shunyou after he came over.

Wang Shunyou came out and wanted to get a cigarette, but his hands were covered with mud, so he smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Taiping said: "You've just finished smoking, so don't take out the cigarette. First, tell me how the situation is in the fields?"

Wang Shunyou said happily: "Fortunately, the hailstorm didn't last long, so not many seedlings were damaged. I'm replanting them right now."

The old village chief also breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's good." Wang Laoqiang and Wang Shunyou can be said to be role models in the village, and now there are dozens of pairs of eyes looking at them. If they are ruined by a hailstorm,

That would not only destroy the crops of the two families, but also destroy the courage and confidence of the entire village to develop.

The old village chief obviously felt much more relaxed when he walked from the fields to the village.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Is the old man worried that this will dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers?"

"Yes, it's hard for the villagers to become motivated. It would be bad if they shrink back because of this incident."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Actually, this old man doesn't have to worry at all. We have already had the success of Song Lan's family and Han Miaomiao's family before, plus the benefits that can be seen in the store now, everyone is working hard to develop upwards."

It’s already inevitable.”

When the two returned to the village, they saw a group of people gathered together, with thick smoke coming out of the middle.

"What happened?" the old village chief went over and asked.

The people in front turned around and saw the village chief and Zhang Taiping. They got out of the way and said, "It's really weird. On a rainy day, this dead tree actually started to smoke."

"Is there such a thing?" The old village chief was also surprised.

Zhang Taiping is tall enough to see clearly what's going on inside without squeezing in. This big tree has been in the village for some years, but it died early for unknown reasons, but it doesn't hinder anything here.

So no one cut it down. At this moment, it was pitch black, as if it had just been roasted by fire, and thick smoke was rising from the hollows in the tree.

The old village chief asked: "When did this happen?"

Someone replied: "I don't know, it was fine before it rained, but it caught on fire after it rained. What a weird thing!"

"It's raining but it's on fire?" The old village chief was puzzled.

"Yes! That's it."

Hearing what they said, Zhang Taiping suddenly had some ideas in his heart. He walked around the tree and touched it with his hands. Finally, he was sure and said to the people around him: "If I'm not mistaken,

It means it was struck by lightning."

After hearing this, the people around made a noise and felt incredible.

"Struck by lightning?" the old village chief said thoughtfully, "Commander, tell me what you think."

Zhang Taiping pressed his hands to calm down the surrounding villagers and continued: "Do you still remember that during the rain, there was a muffled thunder that seemed to explode in your ears?"

"Remember, remember, that moment almost scared me to death. I was dizzy for a while," one person said.

Zhang Taiping said: "That thunder struck the village, and it should have been draped on this big tree. You must know that the heat from the thunder and lightning in the sky can melt even steel, let alone a tree.

, can set the tree on fire in an instant, and it won’t work even if you go down.”

"Fortunately, it hit this tree. It would have been very serious if it hit someone's house." Someone sighed with lingering fear. Others around him agreed.
