Chapter 45 : Li Xueqiu’s house was struck by lightning?

As time passed, the rainstorm outside showed no sign of stopping, and the people in the house were in a complicated mood. They were glad they followed the orders and came here, but they were also worried that their homes might be washed away by the rainstorm.

But before the rain stopped, all they could do was wait anxiously.

On the first day, everyone was able to remain calm and carry out their tasks, and the house was in an orderly state.

By the second day, seeing that the rainstorm showed no sign of abating, everyone began to feel a little impatient. They rushed to the gate, one by one, staring dazedly at the dark sky.

“When will this rain stop?” someone complained again.

But no one knew.

The soldiers in the house had changed back into their uniforms and were assisting the militia in maintaining order. 

When they encountered troublemakers, the militia took action immediately, without the soldiers stepping in to handle things. The militia’s guns were real, and the troublemakers dared not do anything even if they had ideas in their minds.

The soldiers couldn’t act out of line due to their discipline, but the militia was more unpredictable.

Most of the troublemakers were bullies who only picked on the weak and feared the strong. With someone maintaining order, they dared not act up.

In a corner, unnoticed by others, Luo Huarong appeared a little guilty.

Her previously panicked eyes now had an unusual charm.

At the same time, another tall and thin man looked satisfied, as if he had gained some advantage. His eyes flitted across the crowd.

When he saw the delicate and tender Su Ranran, his eyes lit up!

It turned out that after a week of space water and daily space fruits, Su Ranran had gained some weight. Although she was still a bit thin, her dazzling white face stood out, especially among the yellow-skinned people.

Since Su Ranran entered the house, she had been stared at wherever she went.

There were more and more eyes on her, all kinds of mixed gazes, some open, others hidden.

If Shen He hadn’t been there, she suspected their looks would have been even more intense. As a result, in the past two days, except when she went to the toilet, she had always stayed close to Shen He.

Shen He, tightly attached to his wife, was not only patient but his eyes became softer.

However, when he noticed some impure gazes, a cold flash passed through his eyes.

On the third day, the rainstorm continued, and the constant crackling sound made people’s nerves a little frayed.

Looking at the rumbling water outside, the people inside couldn’t help but feel their legs shake.

What house could withstand such a massive flood?

At that moment, they felt truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts. They were relieved that the house had been repaired before the rainstorm otherwise, they would have been worried whether the roof would be blown off by the storm.

On the fourth day, the rain kept pouring down.

In such dreadful weather, many people started to break down, and from time to time, cries could be heard throughout the hall.

“I don’t know what happened to the Shuihe Brigade. My mother’s house is right by the river.”

Someone wiped her tears and cried, panic written on her face.

But no one laughed at her. Listening to her cries, everyone’s hearts tightened.

Who didn’t have relatives in the nearby brigades?

Although they had been hiding, they couldn’t help but worry about how their relatives in other places were doing.

“Don’t worry. Didn’t they say everyone in the entire county has evacuated? I think most of the people in Shuihe Brigade must have found a safe place to hide from the rain,” someone said, unsure if they were comforting her or trying to comfort themselves.

Pan Shuifang also looked worried. Her family was in the brigade next door. Although she had been hiding, she couldn’t help but wonder how her mother and brothers were doing. Looking at the endless rain outside, she couldn’t hold back a curse.

“Damn God! Why does it only flood good people, not bad ones? If you have the guts, make it rain on the devil’s house!”

As soon as the words fell, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the light as bright as day pierced through the dark clouds.

The huge lightning struck straight to the southwest corner of the village!

Everyone was startled by the thickness of the lightning, and their faces immediately turned scared.

Pan Shuifang’s mouth opened into an O shape.

Didn’t she just curse? Why was there such a big noise?

Su Ranran, who was standing next to her, immediately covered her ears, her face turning pale!

It seemed like the lightning was in the direction of Li Xueqiu’s house?

But before she could think further, a deafening “boom” came from the sky! Even though Su Ranran had covered her ears, the sound still startled her!

“Don’t be afraid, it’s just thunder!” Shen He, who had been maintaining order, rushed back when he saw the lightning and noticed that Su Ranran’s face had gone pale.

“I… I’m not afraid,” Su Ranran said, but her voice was trembling.

Her pitiful little look made Shen He feel distressed. He immediately shielded her in the corner and gently patted her back to comfort her. “It’s okay, the thunder has passed.”

As soon as his voice fell, another massive lightning streaked across the sky, and this time the lightning struck the southwest corner again.

Along with the lightning came a thunderous roar.

Su Ranran couldn’t bear it any longer. She tightly grabbed Shen He’s clothes with both hands, her face as pale as a ghost!

Shen He’s heart tightened. He didn’t care about anything else and quickly leaned against the wall, wrapping his arms around her protectively.

The lightning and thunder kept striking again and again to the southwest.

Now the villagers began to feel something was wrong.

“Isn’t that Li Xueqiu’s house?” Although it was far, the villagers knew the layout of the houses so well that they could pinpoint them even with their eyes closed.

“Yeah, it really looks like Li Xueqiu’s house,” someone echoed.

But it shouldn’t be that serious, right? Wasn’t it just about eating meat every meal?

Although they were jealous of the family for eating meat every day, surely eating meat shouldn’t lead to being struck by lightning, right?

But regardless of what they thought, the lightning and thunder didn’t stop.

In the corner, several of Li Xueqiu’s sisters-in-law had already collapsed to the ground. They knew the location of their homes better than anyone. Hadn’t the lightning struck their house?

For a moment, several of them turned pale with fear, wishing they could faint right there!

The people in the house didn’t care about them at this moment. As they watched this strange celestial phenomenon, their faces were grim.

The lightning, as big as a bowl, flashed repeatedly, and the thunder rumbled non-stop in the sky.

The entire Shuiqiao Brigade felt like a small boat in the ocean of doom, ready to capsize at any moment from the huge waves.

No one knew how long it had been, but just when everyone thought their brigade was doomed, suddenly, the lightning stopped!

The rain also suddenly became lighter!

“Is the rain going to stop?”

Looking at the noticeably lighter rain, someone shouted in surprise.

Others saw that the rain had indeed become much lighter!

The next second, the whole hall erupted into joyous cheers!

“The rain is stopping!”

“The rain is stopping!”

Everyone cried and shouted, as though they had survived a disaster, their faces streaked with tears of joy.

But at that moment, a louder voice suddenly came from the backyard.

“Luo Huarong is cheating on someone!”
