Chapter 698 Lightning and Thunder
Just when Lu Qingqing was planning to stop and find a place to rest.
A flash of purple lightning streaked across the sky and fell to the ground, illuminating the entire earth.
Immediately afterwards, a dull thunder was heard.
Before she could react, continuous lightning webs appeared one after another, and the dazzling light was so bright that people could not open their eyes.
After a while.
Rumble!
The huge thunder made Lu Qingqing's eardrums hurt, and even Xiaobai beside her was a little scared.
Lu Qingqing immediately took the horse and flashed into the space.
Thinking about entering the space, the ground was shaking slightly.
I can only sigh at the power of nature.
After putting Xiaobai back into the stable, she released her mind into the space and observed the surrounding situation.
I happened to see the top of a stone mountain not far away being struck by lightning.
Sparks flew everywhere!
In an instant, the top of the towering stone mountain was split apart.
The rubble was scattered all over the ground.
Soon, it started to rain.
At first, a few raindrops as big as beans hit the loess road, wetting a small circle of loess and rolling it into a ball of yellow mud.
Soon, the raindrops fell more and more heavily.
Soon, it was as if someone was pouring water down from the sky.
Unfortunately, there was a strong wind at this time.
The strong wind and heavy rain made the grass and trees on the roadside sway left and right.
Faintly, Lu Qingqing heard someone shouting.
"Dad, there's a hill over there. Let's go over there and hide from the rain!"
Soon, a group of four people pushing wheelbarrows came towards this place.
The strong wind was howling wildly as if it was going to sweep the four people away.
The person pushing the cart was a young man, and in order to push the cart, he leaned forward nearly forty-five degrees.
Next to the car, three other people also held on to the car tightly and struggled to move forward.
After walking a few steps, the thin woman on the right side of the car was staggered by the wind.
Before she could react, she was blown away by a gust of wind.
Following the direction of the wind, Gululu rolled several meters away.
The man saw his wife being blown away by the wind and called her anxiously.
But his parents were still there, and all the family belongings were on the wheelbarrow, so he didn't dare let go.
Fortunately, the strong wind quickly passed and the woman slowly stabilized her body.
She shouted to her husband in front.
"Brother Gouzi, I'm fine!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the cold wind and heavy rain hit her mouth.
At this time, the wind was much weaker.
The four of them pushed the cart quickly to the hillside.
This hillside is exactly at the bottom of the stone mountain that was struck by lightning just now.
It’s not far from where Lu Qingqing entered the space.
The man and his wife leaned against the mountain wall and hid behind the wheelbarrow.
Then he took out a tattered mat and held it above his head, protecting the two old men in the middle.
The mat was not very big, and most of the bodies of the two young men on the side were exposed.
The two old people were worried that their son and daughter-in-law would catch a cold, so they tried to squeeze in between them.
Trying to prevent the son and daughter-in-law around me from getting wet in the rain.
Although the four people struggled to survive in the wind and rain, they showed some warmth.
Lu Qingqing looked at Qin Lang lying in the space and prayed for the Nth time that he would wake up soon.
The rain continued until dark.
There was a lot of water on the ground and in the ditch next to it.
Lu Qingqing looked at this scene and frowned again.
This official road is nothing more than a compacted dirt road.
The last time the country carried out a major road renovation was one or two hundred years ago.
Today's official roads are slightly wider than dirt roads and have slightly better road conditions.
But with such heavy rain, there must be a lot of puddles on the road.
If we wait until the rain stops before continuing our journey, we won’t be able to speed up.
But no matter how worried Lu Qingqing was, the rain kept falling.
Around midnight, the rain finally stopped.
But not long after, thunder and lightning started again.
The rain fell intermittently throughout the night, and I didn't know how long it lasted.
Lu Qingqing was woken up once by thunder in the middle of the night, but fell asleep again quickly.
Before dawn the next day, she left the space.
Fortunately, it won’t rain this time.
Looking at the family of four sleeping together not far away, she walked back a short distance.
A cart was left at the original place, with a raincoat and oilcloth on it, and two bags of grain under the oilcloth.
I hope this family can live well!
When they set out again, it was still dark and Lu Qingqing did not ride a horse.
Yesterday's heavy rain made the official roads muddy and difficult to walk on.
She walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and her trouser legs, shoes and socks were soon soaked by mud and water.
She didn't let the carriage out until daybreak.
Xiaobai drove the whole morning yesterday, and today it’s Xiaohei’s turn to pull the cart.
Xiao Hei has been drinking space water for so long, and his intelligence is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary horses.
When running forward, it actually knew to avoid puddles.
When it encounters a place where the entire road is flooded, it knows to slow down early.
When we reached the puddle, we turned around to look at her.
It’s like saying, what’s the matter, can I pass it or not?
Lu Qingqing jumped off the shaft of the cart and touched its head.
Then, he took a stick and tried the muddy puddle.
We found a relatively shallow spot and drove the carriage across the puddle.
I ran until the sun was about to rise, but there was still no sign of the sun.
Looking at the still cloudy sky, Lu Qingqing prayed silently that it would not rain again.
When it started to rain heavily, her speed of travel slowed down exponentially.
The original plan was to reach Fengkou Wharf within three days.
Judging from the current situation, it would be good if we can get there within seven days.
After stepping through countless puddles along the way, Lu Qingqing finally arrived in Mingkai County in the afternoon.
When she saw the city wall in the distance, she stopped the carriage.
He found an empty corner and put the carriage into the space.
Then, he found a half-worn bundle from the pile of things he had collected.
He also put in some old clothes, an old water bag, and two multi-grain cakes.
He took the bag and looked at it, then rubbed it against the grass beside him.
In this way, the bag, which was originally clean, became dirty and wet.
Lu Qingqing adjusted her hairstyle and clothes again, and made sure that her body was dirty before she was done.
After walking onto the main road, you will occasionally meet people pushing carts out.
On the way, she met a kind-hearted woman who reminded her.
He said that Mingkai County ahead had been occupied by bandits and asked her not to go there anymore.
After Lu Qingqing thanked them with a smile, she saw that the family’s car was not covered with a tarpaulin.
He borrowed the bag, took out a folded rain cloth from it and gave it to the woman.
Amid the woman's thanks, Lu Qingqing walked towards Mingkai City.
