The next day was early again for Zhang Taiping, and he felt a dullness in the air, which made people feel hot even in the early morning.

This kind of heat is different from the dry and scorching heat that the sun shines on the body, but the sultry heat rising from the bottom of his heart. The air is also depressing in waves. He can't help but feel happy. It has been dry and hot these days, and now it suddenly turns to sultry heat.

It means that the weather is about to change. And this sweltering heat is a sign of an imminent heavy rain.

He walked into the village, and many early risers felt the change in the air.

The old village chief was also looking at the sky at the door, but at this moment the sky was still blue without a cloud, not even a breath of wind.

Zhang Taiping asked: "Why did uncle get up so early?"

The old village chief fanned himself with the fan and said: "It's too hot today. I woke up from the heat in the middle of the night. Now that people are old, unlike you young people, once you wake up, you don't want to fall back asleep. You sit outside."

Most of the night."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "The muggy weather is a good thing, it means it's going to rain."

"This was true before, but now I'm not sure." The old village chief said, "It hasn't rained in the past few months. You can see not even a single cloud in the sky."

"Who can predict the weather in summer? Heavy rains will come at any time." Zhang Taiping said, "I'd better use the loudspeaker to tell everyone to take precautions. Once there is a heavy rain, it will not cause any damage."

The old village chief thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right." He turned around and entered the house.

After a while, the loudspeaker sounded throughout the village: "The weather has suddenly become sultry and there is a possibility of heavy rain." The old village chief himself was not sure whether it would rain, so he didn't say it too harshly and used the word "maybe".

"Just in case, everyone should pack the things that need to be packed, otherwise it will be bad if it rains heavily and causes unnecessary losses."

When they heard that it was going to rain, everyone, whether they were sleeping or working, rushed out of the house and looked up at the sky. The sun was already so strong in the early morning that those who were shining could not open their eyes and covered them with their hands.

On the forehead, but where is there a cloud in the sky?

So everyone was a little confused about the old village chief's announcement just now, but soon the first cloud appeared in the sky.

Now everyone was no longer confused, and there was a surge of ecstasy in their hearts. Now people believed the old village chief's words. Some people hurried to collect clothes or things hanging outside.

Someone shouted: "Look, there's a cloud coming! It's really going to rain!"

"Yes, it's going to rain!" People's excited voices echoed in unison.

Soon one cloud turned into two. After a few minutes, half of the sky was covered by dark clouds, and strong winds immediately began to rise. It was in line with the saying: A storm is coming and the wind is filling the building!

The dark clouds were running very fast, and a few minutes passed. Now there was no trace of light in the sky, and it was all blocked by dark clouds. The summer weather is the same as the mood of a child. It was clear just now, and now it is completely clear.

The sky is full of dark clouds, and it will change at any time. But people like this change very much now, and it is also the change that people have been waiting for for a long time.

Black clouds surged and rolled in the sky. There was a feeling that the black clouds were pressing down on the city, getting lower and lower. Just when people felt that they could reach the dark clouds in the sky, the first drop of rain finally fell.

"It's raining!"

"It's really raining!"

The raindrops as big as beans fell rapidly from the sky and hit people, which still hurt a little, but now people were already immersed in the joy of this sudden rain, forgetting the pain, forgetting everything, only leaving

joy.

Bang bang bang! The raindrops falling on the ground stir up a rustic atmosphere, and one can smell the mixture of water vapor and earthy atmosphere.

Soon the raindrops became one piece, first like broken beads, then like a line, and finally turned into pouring water, like pouring from the sky. The sky and the earth were instantly filled with water color, and the rising water

The fog obscured the green mountains in the distance, the nearby houses, and even the surprised and delighted pedestrians dozens of meters away.

Soon the rainwater gathered on the ground and formed small streams, flowing into the cracks in the ground. It was as if you could hear the sound of the earth greedily sucking up the rainwater.

The old people were okay. Although they were happy in their hearts, they didn't express it too fiercely. They all stood at their respective doorways and looked at the rainstorm, which seemed a bit scary in the past, with relief on their faces.

Young people and children were more crazy. They all ran into the heavy rain without even taking off their clothes. They looked up at the sky, opened their arms and let the violent rain hit their bodies, letting the sweet rain after a long drought wash over their souls.

irritable.

Some city dwellers were also infected by this passion. After taking out their valuables, they rushed into the rain, shouting excitedly, releasing the suppressed passion in their hearts.

Zhang Taiping and the old village chief stood under the eaves. The rain that came in wetted their clothes, but neither of them moved.

The old village chief said: "It finally rained."

Zhang Taiping thought of the red land he saw yesterday, nodded and said: "Yes, if it doesn't rain again, people may die." At the same time, he also thought of the goddess who was dancing with a mahogany sword. The rain was unintentional.

A mysterious veil was cast over her body. He was not sure whether it was a coincidence or whether the actions of those people praying for rain really moved the heavens and sent down the rain. It must be a coincidence, right?

"After a severe drought, there will be a severe flood." The old village chief said, but there was not much worry on his face, because there are few rivers in the north, and the village is located in the south of the Qinling Mountains. There are no big rivers nearby.

The river is a small river that runs through the village. Even if this river overflows, it will not cause much harm to the village.

"Big flood?" Zhang Taiping also heard this saying. This is a proverb summed up by people based on experience. I don't know whether it has scientific basis.

After a while, Wang Laoqiang ran under the eaves with his whole body wet, with a smile on his face.

The old village chief frowned and said, "How old are you? How come you still look like a baby?"

Wang Laoqiang smiled awkwardly and said: "It's been a long time since the drought and I haven't seen any rain. When it rained heavily, I rushed into the rain and got wet when I was excited. It felt quite refreshing, hehe."

The old village chief snorted and said nothing. He had long thought of stepping down from his position as village chief. There were three people he liked in the village, Zhang Taiping, Wang Gui and Wang Laoqiang. For his son

Wang Gui knows what kind of person he is and is not suitable to be a village chief.

Deep down in his heart, he did not want to pass on the village chief's position to Wang Gui. The remaining one was Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping's prestige and ability were supposed to make him the best candidate to be the village chief, but he had no such intention at all.

, in the end there was only Wang Laoqiang. So I was not very satisfied with his immature performance.

Wang Gui also walked out of the house, looked at Wang Laoqiang and said with a smile: "Laoqiang, why do you always become a drowned rat?"

"It feels quite refreshing in the rain. Why don't you guys go down and try it out? You can also take a shower by the way." Wang Laoqiang said.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "I will naturally experience it when I go back later, forget it for now."

The strong winds came with the heavy rain, making the big trees roar and the small trees all bent over. It looked a little worrying and might break at any time.

Zhang Taiping looked at the sky and said: "Look at the posture of the people in the sky, this rain will not stop in a short time."

"It's good to stay down for a while, just to replenish the lack of water in the past few months." Wang Laoqiang took off his shirt and said while twisting the water on it.

The old village chief looked at him and frowned and said, "You might as well take off your pants and go inside to find Wang Gui's clothes to change into. Wearing these wet clothes is uncomfortable, and it's easy to get sick."

Wang Laoqiang put the wrung-out shirt back on and said, "No, I'll run back later. I'll still get wet if I change into dry clothes. It's quite cool to wear this clothes when it's wet." He took another photo.

He patted his chest and said, "My body is so strong that it won't be a problem if I get exposed to this little rain."

The four of them stood under the eaves, watching the rain and chatting. Suddenly, a bright light came from the rain and fell on Zhang Taiping's shoulder. It turned out to be Xiao Xi. He shook his body and spread his wings, and the rainwater on it fell off one after another, without even a trace of water vapor on it.

.

"Zhizhi." The little guy called Zhang Taiping a few times and then flew out with a burst of wings.

Zhang Taiping said to the three of them: "We have called for breakfast at home, I will go back first." It was not possible to make phone calls during the thunderstorm, so Xiao Xi came to deliver the news.

Everyone was already accustomed to the magic of these little animals in Zhang Taiping's house. The old village chief said: "Hold an umbrella."

"No need, the wind is so strong, holding an umbrella is useless." Zhang Taiping said and rushed into the rain.
