Chapter 492 Dark clouds over the city
weekend.

"Mengru, do you know? I saw that person yesterday. She stepped on shit and was pushed down by someone. There was some shit on her hands."

"Oh, that's disgusting, which one is it?"

"Who else could it be? That old conceited one."

"Ah, so it's that. She deserves it. I heard she has a little bit of that."

"Which one?"

"That one, didn't you see her on Tuesday? She was like that."

"Huh? Is it so disgusting?"

Qi Mengru and Yu Xingmei were chatting and laughing, and their unclear words made Li Kailang and Jin Jianxian, who were standing beside them, confused.

"Who are you two talking about?" Li Kailang asked curiously.

"That's it, didn't you see it?" Yu Xingmei replied.

"Which one?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly." Yu Xingmei turned around and continued talking to Qi Mengru.

Early in the morning, Li Kailang, Jin Jianxian and two others studied at the Xinhua Bookstore.

This mutual learning was mainly to respond to the homework left by Yan Wanbin, and everyone checked each other's gaps and filled them in.

Simply copying knowledge points made the atmosphere extremely relaxed. Everyone completed their homework while chatting and laughing, and it was so much fun.

Rumbling--

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder out of nowhere, and a loud thunder that shook the earth came out of nowhere.

"Ah——" Yu Xingmei and Qi Mengru screamed in fright, covering their ears and closing their eyes tightly.

"Ah——" Many children in the bookstore burst into tears out of fear.

The sudden noise caught everyone off guard.

Li Kailang and Jin Jianxian immediately stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sky in the distance.

I saw the clear blue sky and white clouds in the previous second gradually become darker and darker.

In the distance, a boundless dark cloud was approaching rapidly and spreading continuously, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The sky seemed as if a black and gray curtain was hanging.

After a few blinks of an eye, the sky became gloomy, making people feel sad.

Rumbling--

Thunder followed, like the roar of a tiger or a dragon, shocking the ears.

Lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the sky and earth in an instant, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go! Go home quickly!"

"Hurry, it's going to rain heavily!"

"Hurry up and run, or it will be too late if it rains!"

The adults in the bookstore immediately pulled the frightened child up and ran home.

It has not rained in the city of Sijiu for a long time. People say that after a long drought, rain will come, but what we need is light or moderate rain, not this unforeseen heavy rain.

Boom! ! !
The sky was still filled with lightning and thunder, and the wind was blowing hard, and it was almost time for rain.

"There was a heavy rainstorm last year, so it's unlikely to happen again this year."

Last year, there was a heavy rain and fish started falling from the sky. That was when Jia Zhang was still alive.

Outside on the street, passers-by were walking hurriedly and running quickly, trying to get home before it rained.

Li Kailang and Jin Jianxian looked at each other, then hurried back to Qi Mengru and Yu Xingmei to briefly explain the situation outside.

"Is it going to rain heavily?" Yu Xingmei thought of something going on at home, so she quickly packed up her things and said, "I have something going on at home, I'll go back first."

"Be careful on the road."

Qi Mengru also hurried to pack up, but her home was far away from the bookstore and she couldn't run back just by walking.

"Li Kailang, can I borrow your bicycle?"

"Here." Li Kailang hurriedly took out the key and handed it to her.

"Thank you." After taking the key and packing up their things, they left together.

"I'm leaving first." Jin Jianxian also said goodbye and left.

Everyone wanted to hurry home before the heavy rain came.

Li Kailang also packed up and left, rushing back to the courtyard.

The wind grew more violent and unbridled, ruthlessly tearing apart everything on the street.

"bump!!!"

I saw a store sign being blown down and falling heavily to the ground, but fortunately no one was hit.

The strong wind became even more unbridled, roaring and hammering at the windows and doors, making banging sounds accompanied by a whistling sound.

"Bang!" The windows and doors of someone's house were blown down.

This sudden strong wind came so quickly that it was extremely strange.

"Hurry back." Li Kailang didn't have time to think too much and went back to the courtyard against the strong wind.

"Tick tick tick~"

As soon as I stepped into the yard, drizzling rain began to fall from the sky.

Just when Li Kailang thought the rain was still light, it suddenly turned into a downpour, hitting him heavily.

"Bang, bang, bang~" The raindrops hit the iron sheet, making a bang sound.

Just by listening to the sound, you can feel the stinging pain of being hit on the body.

Rumbling--

There were lightning, thunder, howling winds and heavy rain, all three of which came together, making the windows and doors bang as if they would be torn off at any moment.

"Fortunately, it's a new house, so it's still relatively sturdy." Li Kailang breathed a sigh of relief as he saw that the furniture was still sturdy.

Looking up through the skylight, the sky was dark and gray, as if it had turned dark and lifeless.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind and rain gradually subsided.

When everyone was afraid to act rashly, the sky began to shine again, as if nothing had happened before.

The dark clouds quickly dissipated in the blink of an eye, and a ray of sunlight shone on the earth.

If it weren't for the wet ground, who would believe that there were howling winds and heavy rain just now.

"Huh~" Seeing that there was no movement outside the house, Li Kailang let out a long breath and then opened the door.

The ground was in a mess, with broken bricks and various debris everywhere.

Even Yan Bugui's flowerpot was blown to the front yard and shattered to the ground, leaving only half of the soil roots.

Almost all the private plots of land were flooded, and many crops were uprooted, leaving them uneven, as if they had been gnawed by dogs.

"Squeak~"

On the opposite side, Yan Bugui also opened up.

"Oh my God!" Yan Bugui couldn't help but exclaimed and looked around at the tragic scene in the front yard.

Looking at his roof again, he saw several holes.

The condition of each house was not very good, with tiles in disarray and missing, and several holes in the roofs that were dripping with water.

Other residents also came out one after another to check on the situation. Many women and children looked pale and were still in shock.

"What the hell, this must be a force 10 gale!" Yan Bugui couldn't help but swear, not caring about his teacher image at all at this moment.

"It should be about the same. It should be rare for such a strong wind to appear in our city. How come it happened once last year and again this year?" Li Kailang agreed.

"It's so windy and rainy, it's really scary. Look at the holes in the roof. Will it rain soon?" The third aunt couldn't help but worry.

Everyone looked up at the sky, which was clear.

"It shouldn't rain for a while, I guess." Yan Bugui wasn't sure either.

Li Kailang consoled him: "It shouldn't be the case. The dark clouds have dispersed, and the rain has fallen. It should be fine."

"I don't know how the solution is? He is still at work. It's so windy. What if the car gets blown away?" Auntie said worriedly.

"No, we have to go and see how the solution is. What if he makes a mistake?"

The third aunt didn't dare to think about it any further, for fear that she would be considered a pessimist.

"Don't scare me. Jie Cheng must be fine. We don't know how Jie Cheng is doing now."

"If you're worried, wait half an hour. If there's nothing going on, I'll go with you."

"Okay." Although the sea is calm now, there is no guarantee that strong winds will not come back. Don't get yourself trapped again and make your family worry in vain.

The middle courtyard, the back yard, and the back room.

Hearing the noise coming from all around, they all went out of their homes to see what was happening in the yard. Among them, the Liu family was the worst hit, suffering the most from the storm.

The door collapsed, the windows were broken, and the room looked like it had been ransacked. There were hardly any items on the table, and they were all scattered on the floor.

The two brothers, Old Huangtou and Liu Guangfu, were wading through the water and picking up pots, pans, and utensils from the ground.

There was even a cut on his forehead between his bangs, and blood was slowly flowing out.

"Old Liu, what happened to you? Is it serious?" The second aunt hurriedly covered him with a towel.

"It's okay, just a minor injury, it will be healed in a while." Li Kailang waved his hand with an indifferent attitude.

The wound on his forehead was caused by being stabbed when the window broke. Fortunately, the wound was not deep or serious.

Liu Haizhong worked as a riveter and had suffered injuries much more serious than this. It was just a little bleeding, which was nothing to him.

"Oh! Good God! Why!"

Suddenly, a burst of crying came from the central courtyard, instantly attracting everyone to watch.

With great curiosity, everyone walked quickly towards the central courtyard.

"Wow! My goodness, the Jia family is so miserable."

The Jia family suffered a direct hit from the strong wind, and the situation was even more serious than what happened to Liu Haizhong.

I saw a pile of all kinds of garbage blown into the Jia family's private plot, which was piled up to one meter high.

Although the door did not collapse, it was shaky and was about to fall into the house.

There were several large holes in the roof, with rain water pouring down.

The walls exposed outside were even more covered with cracks. Although they were not big or deep, there were quite a few of them.

The house was like it had experienced a catastrophe. Tiles fell directly on the house and all kinds of furniture were blown down to the ground.

All kinds of miscellaneous things were thrown on the ground, just like the Liu family.

If the beams in the house were not as strong as Mount Tai, supporting the house without moving, it would have collapsed long ago.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so miserable!"

"What kind of misfortune has the Jia family endured? God has done this to them, and the whole house is almost about to collapse."

"Yes, if Jia Zhang saw this, she would be so angry that she would faint."

When everyone saw the dilapidated state of the Jia family, Liu Haizhong felt even more relieved.

"I thought my family was the worst off, but I didn't expect the Jia family to be even worse off than mine!"

Suddenly, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt felt much more balanced.

Only Jia Dongxu looked at his devastated home with sorrow.

"Dongxu, at least we're okay. If something is broken, we can fix it." Qin Huairu hurriedly comforted him.

Although she wanted to cry, she had to stay calm in front of everyone.

"Mom, come and take a look!" Suddenly, Banggeng's anxious voice came.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu ran into the house immediately.

"Bang Geng Bang Geng, what's wrong?"

I saw Banggeng leaning against the wall, staring blankly at a certain place, and jumping up from time to time to take something out.

"Mom, look there!" Bang Geng pointed at a crack in the wall.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu looked along the crack and found that the crack was extremely large at one point, with a hole the size of Xiaodang's fist appearing.

There seems to be something in the hole.

Qin Huairu couldn't tell what it was, but there were bugs in the hole. "Banggeng, don't touch it! Be careful of bugs!"

"It's not a bug!!" Banggeng retorted.

"Whatever it is, don't touch it, or you might fall and hit your head!"

Qin Huairu scolded, but Jia Dongxu found that she looked familiar, so he took two steps at a time, went to the bed, reached out his hand, took it in his hand and took a look.

"Hehe, hehe, hehehe~"

Suddenly, Jia Dongxu laughed like a fool.

"Huai Ru, look! It's money!"

Jia Dongxu unfolded the bundle. There were a few big black tens and the rest were small change.

"Money?" The two looked at each other. The money was not theirs, and the two children were so young, it was impossible for them to save money, so it must belong to one person.

"Hehehe." The two couldn't help but giggle.

"Dongxu, quickly calculate how much money is here?"

Now, they don’t have to pay for decorating the house anymore.

"Why are they grinning like idiots?" Some people still didn't know what was going on.

"You are so stupid. Money! They found the money. Look how happy they are. It must be Jia Zhang's money."

"I think so too. I didn't expect that even though the Jia family's wall was broken, Jia Zhang's private money could be found."

A group of residents were talking in whispers, interrupting their conversation.

"What are you looking at? I have something else to do at home, so I won't bother you anymore." Jia Dongxu drove them away mercilessly.

"What's the matter? You don't want to leave? There are some holes in the tiles of my house. Can you please help me fix them up?"

"Okay, let's go." As soon as he heard the request for help, he left quickly without waiting for Jia Dongxu to finish his words.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu then carefully counted the money, "Dongxu, a total of 103 yuan."

"Okay, okay, now that we have so much money, we can finally renovate our house. Look at this crack."

"Yes, it's time to renovate it."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and neither of them told anyone the origin of the money. They just treated it as the family's savings.

"Mom and Dad, I was the one who found the money!" Banggeng anxiously asked for credit.

"Great! That's awesome! Here's the money." Jia Dongxu generously took out one dollar and one dime and gave it to him.

"Ah——" Banggeng burst into tears immediately.

"Look at what you have done. You will die of greed!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Dongxu and took out a dollar to give to Banggeng.

"Good boy, don't cry. Take this dollar. If grandma asks, don't tell her."

I won’t tell good jokes, but the people who are watching the fun may not.

"I see, mom is so nice!" Banggeng burst into laughter instantly and smiled foolishly holding the money.

Everyone was feeling sorry for the miserable plight of the Jia family, but unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope: they discovered Jia Zhang's private money.

One by one, they all rushed home to find the private money hidden by their husbands.

Suddenly, all the husbands in the yard cried out in grief. Their homes had been robbed, their money had been confiscated, and they had been beaten and scolded!
In the entire courtyard, only the Jia and Liu families were the worst off, and they had to spend dozens of dollars to repair them, mainly because of the damage to furniture and other items. The loss was not small when converted into dollars.

Others don't have to spend much, as collapsed doors, flying bricks and tiles, cracked walls, etc. are not worth much money.

Li Kailang went out of the yard to see what was happening outside.

The small trees on both sides of the road were blown all over the place, some even had their roots exposed, and the ground was covered with scattered leaves, making it a mess everywhere.

The most important thing is that almost all the planting fields have been ravaged by strong winds, and if they are not dealt with, they may die.

Along the way, I saw many pedestrians, some looked hurried, some were anxious, and some were frightened, all of them were in a hurry and didn't know where to go.

It could be your own home, or it could be your father-in-law’s home, or your mother’s home.

After seeing this, Li Kailang returned home.

His house was a "new house" that had just been built less than two years ago and was located on a leeward slope, so nothing serious happened, just some tiles flew off the roof.

It doesn't take much time to find a ladder and install a few tiles.

Zhang Fen, who was closest to him, hurried to see Li Kailang.

"Xiao Li, are you okay? How is your family?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine. I won't bother you to worry."

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Fen felt relieved when he heard that Li Kailang was fine.

"Is everything alright at your house?"

"What could possibly happen? The house was built just three months ago, it's very solid, what could possibly happen?"

"That's right." Hearing this, Li Kailang felt relieved.

Seeing that the other party was also safe, the two chatted for a while and then went back to repair the house.

"This storm came so suddenly."
