In the middle of the night, it was stormy and thunderous.
The sky seemed like a black pot, with billowing dark clouds. Fiery red lightning was like a wildly dancing snake, darting through the clouds in the sky. Rolling thunder exploded overhead from time to time.
Yun Jingchu looked out the window with a smile and said to himself: "Now, it's time."
Yun Jingxi's voice came from outside the door: "Jingchu, are you in there?"
"I'm here." Yun Jingchu responded in a loud voice, looking down at Wu Shang in the basket, "Wu Shang, I'll take you to the theater to see how the person who hurt you died."
The basket was covered tightly with oilcloth. Yun Jingchu got up, put on his raincoat, protected the basket in his arms, and then slowly opened the door and walked out.
As soon as she went out, she saw Yun Jingxi wearing a raincoat and holding a huge oil-paper umbrella waiting at the door.
"Jingchu, do you really want to go in such a heavy rain?" Yun Jingxi looked at Yun Jingchu hesitantly.
"Go, why don't you go? I must see those people pay the price for what they have done. Otherwise, it is difficult to understand the hatred in my heart." Yun Jingchu's eyes were cold and he said coldly, "Is there any injury?
Same."
"Okay then." Yun Jingxi sighed and held the umbrella over Yun Jingchu's head, "I'll take you there."
"Move forward a little, don't let Wu Shang catch the rain." Yun Jing started to step out of the porch.
"Don't worry." Yun Jingxi shook her head helplessly, supported Yun Jingchu's arm, and put the entire umbrella almost over Yun Jingchu's head. The two of them walked out of Jingxiu Garden and headed towards Xiangrui Garden.
Strong winds carried huge raindrops from time to time. Yun Jingchu tightened his raincoat and tightly protected Wu Shang in his arms to prevent him from getting wet.
There was no one on the road, everyone had probably gone indoors to take shelter from the rain.
Because of the wind and rain, the speed of the two of them was much slower. Thunder exploded above their heads from time to time. Half of Yun Jingxi's raincoat was wet and dripping with water.
As soon as I approached Xiangrui Garden, I found it was noisy inside, with screams coming and going.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! The house where Mrs. Wang lives was struck by lightning."
"Mother Wang is still inside, hurry up and inform Madam."
"Danger! Don't go there!"
"Go and inform the master!"
A little girl hurriedly ran out of Xiangrui Garden, one foot deep and one foot shallow. She should have gone to inform Yun Shangren. Because it was dark, she didn't see Yun Jingchu and Yun Jingxi in the shadows.
.
A cold light flashed in Yun Jingchu's eyes as dark as an ancient well, and then he said calmly: "Let's go in and take a look."
Yun Jingxi stopped talking for a moment, and then nodded with a sigh, "...Okay."
When the two went in, they found a group of people gathered somewhere, talking about a house with a collapsed roof from a distance.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed again. Yun Jingchu raised his eyes and saw the lightning falling straight from the sky to the house in front of him. There was a burst of sparks and there seemed to be something connected to the sky on the roof. Chi chi chi! How many times?
A string of dazzling firelights reached the clouds in the sky, and then there was a roar of thunder, and a bang exploded above the house.
The already collapsed roof tilted a few more points, and then there was a loud noise of falling wood in the house. Everyone screamed one after another.
"Ah! Help!" Amidst the ups and downs of screams, Mother Wang's frightened but weak screams could be heard faintly in the room.
Yun Jingchu released the small basket in his arms a little, gently lifted the oilcloth on it, and said to Wu Shang in a low voice: "Wu Shang, did you hear it? Did you see it?"
The eldest lady was holding a cane in one hand and supporting Mother Zhao with the other. She ran out with her shoes on. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. When she saw the collapsed house, she was stunned for a moment, and then she screamed like crazy: "What are you slaves doing standing there?
Why don't you go in and save people?! Go quickly! Find someone quickly! If there is anything wrong with Mother Wang, I will let all of you be buried with her!"
