After Lao Tan finished giving his suggestions, he said to Wan Jun with deep emotion: "We don't have such a good place in Beipiao. If there is, I won't invest in it."
This is also a feeling of gratitude for the hometown of migrant workers away from home.
Wan Jun said: "Yes - Mr. Tan can invest in our beautiful valley and is willing to cooperate with you."
Lao Tan smiled and said, "I can't decide on this. Ah Qiao is a caterer. To put it bluntly, it's just a small dumpling restaurant, a small business."
"Mr. Tan is humble."
Seeing what Lao Tan said, Wan Jun stopped chatting and it was already noon, so he said hello to go back to the village for dinner.
Before Lao Tan and Wang Shulan came, the village chief Qi Guosheng originally planned to invite their wives to eat at his house, but Wan Jun refused, saying that it was the village's responsibility to entertain the village head. So Qi Guosheng and secretary Wang Dali called their wives and prepared a sumptuous table at the village head.
Farm food.
This meal was very good and I felt like I was home.
During the dinner, Lao Tan drank some wine and got on well with Wan Jun, so a good man went to the end and introduced Mr. Xiang to Wan Jun, saying that regarding the design of the farmhouse, Mr. Xiang could first come up with a rendering and the overall budget.
come out.
At three o'clock in the afternoon after dinner, Lao Tan and Wang Shulan said goodbye and returned to Chifeng.
When passing the Prince's Mansion, Wang Shulan stopped the car and led Lao Tan inside to have a look. When the two of them went in, the sky was still sunny and sunny, but when they came out, it was overcast.
Looking up, I saw a group of dark clouds coming up from behind the mountains to the west. The clouds were very high, rolling, and dark and scary.
Soon the wind picked up, and the leaves on the ground were blown up by the wind, and at the same time there was a faint muffled thunder from the sky.
The wind is ahead of the rain, and a heavy rainstorm is about to come.
The two quickly walked to the car, got in, and Wang Shulan started the car and drove away.
The car was driving fast, and the rain came quickly. When we arrived at the poplar forest between the palace and the tomato industry base, white raindrops as big as copper coins began to fall along with the rumble of thunder.
The light began to darken under the shadow of the trees on both sides. Wang Shulan turned on the car lights, and the sparse heavy raindrops gradually became denser under the light.
After a "click" of thunder, a downpour of rain began to fall. The crazy rain made the wipers useless, and even though there was car light illumination, the vision became blurry.
In just ten minutes, there was already water on the road.
Fortunately, there was only one car on the road at this time, otherwise there would be no chance of a car accident if the line of sight was blocked.
"Sister, let's get out of the woods. This is a protective forest for the river, and it's easy to get flooded." Old Tan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nervously, and the alcohol in his body was gone.
Wang Shulan held the steering wheel tightly, staring at the road ahead without blinking, and the car drove slowly.
"Well, I don't dare to drive too fast because I can't see the road clearly," she said.
"The trees on both sides are dark, and the light in the middle is the road." Lao Tan said.
Wang Shulan was reminded at once, and she put her mind down a little, staring at the bright water in front of her and driving forward.
The sky became completely cloudy and the rain became heavier.
A bright electric light flashed, illuminating the dark trees on both sides.
"Click——"
Another thunder boom!
Wang Shulan's hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and she subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
"Don't hit the brakes. It's easy to go sideways. Drive forward slowly. You're out soon." Lao Tan reminded.
But it was too late, the car suddenly stopped and drifted slightly to the left.
Wang Shulan broke into a cold sweat and quickly stepped on the accelerator. Due to her nervousness, the car suddenly jumped forward.
"I can't help it. I can't drive. It's too scary." Wang Shulan's voice changed a bit when she spoke.
"Hold on, it's okay. We're going out soon. There's high ground ahead." Lao Tan encouraged her.
The car was driving forward in the heavy rain. At this time, they would have broken out in a cold sweat if they got out of the car. The water from the upper river in the woods had overflowed the drainage ditches on both sides of the road, rose to the road, and floated and washed away.
Rotten branches and leaves.
This was a sudden heavy rainstorm.
Fortunately, the car drove out of the woods and onto the high ground three minutes later.
Wang Shulan didn't dare to drive forward anymore, and stopped the car in the middle of the road, panting with lingering fear, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
There is a mountain two hundred meters ahead, and the mountain water has already come down, rolling down the ravine river with mud, instantly filling the drainage ditch on one side of the road, and then overflowing the road, filling the drainage ditch on the other side.
Then he quickly rushed downwards.
There was darkness between heaven and earth, and the rain covered the sky and the sun.
The white Land Rover, once the king of the road, now looked like a frightened road dog, lying motionless on a lonely highland.
If you go forward, you are in danger of encountering flash floods; if you go backward, the river will be flooded.
At this time, don't talk about who is powerful or has unparalleled martial arts. Human beings are insignificant in the storms of nature, and the power of heaven and earth can obliterate them at any time.
A dazzling electric light flashed across the sky and the earth, and then——
"Click——"
A deafening thunder resounded throughout the fields——
Women are timid by nature. Wang Shulan was so frightened that she screamed "Ah——", her face turned pale, she grabbed Lao Tan's arm in fear, and leaned hard towards him.
Lao Tan put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, sister, this thunderstorm won't last long and will pass in a while."
"This thunder is too scary------" Wang Shulan said in horror.
"Thunder."
Lao Tan recalled his mother's explanation of thunder when there was heavy rain when he was a child. Although it was superstitious, the memory was still fresh, so he said to Wang Shulan: "My mother said that thunder cannot be broken cleanly."
"Dirty things? What?"
Seeing Wang Shulan asking with the same curiosity as when she was a child, and then forgetting the fear in front of her, Lao Tan smiled and said: "The lynx beast that has become a spirit."
"Lynx beast?" Wang Shulan was a little confused.
"Have you ever read fantasy novels? Some foxes, snakes, and wolves have been cultivated and formed, that is, they have become spirits. God starts to strike with thunder, which is commonly known as transcending tribulations."
"You, just fool people from there."
Wang Shulan smiled, no longer afraid, she let go of Lao Tan's hand and sat back down.
"But it is true that people can be struck by lightning, especially thunder like this." Lao Tan said.
"Have you heard of it? Have you ever seen it?" Wang Shulan was a little scared again and glanced at Lao Tan.
"Actually, it's not lightning that strikes people, it's lightning that falls to the ground, and the powerful current it brings instantly kills people. When it rains and thunders, don't take shelter under a tree, and don't stay in an open field. You're easily struck by lightning.
Hit." Lao Tan said.
"Then we are in danger?" Wang Shulan asked worriedly, looking at the heavy rain outside.
"We're fine, we're in the car. Besides, there can't be any thunder, the rain is starting to go to the southeast," Lao Tan said.
"I can't see the clouds moving."
"There are a lot of clouds in the northwest and southeast. The thunderstorm doesn't last long, at most an hour. Didn't you see the smaller ones?"
The rain has indeed subsided a bit, and I can see the scenery outside clearly.
"Thunderstorms have passed for three long hours, but even if they don't rain, the sound can be heard." Old Tan said to himself.
"Do you have to go down tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Wang Shulan asked.
Lao Tan hummed.
"Do you think our fate of going to Dongsu to catch the white-haired wind and to the Beautiful Valley to catch the heavy rain is a bit evil?" Wang Shulan asked somewhat fatalistically.
"Let's not go out together in the future." Lao Tan joked.
