"Hey, Mom, I've reached the intersection and I'll be home soon."
Jiang Che walked out of the van with his schoolbag on his back and didn't forget to call home.
"Okay, be careful on the road. The meal is ready and waiting for you."
"I know, Mom, I'll hang up first."
Jiang Che hung up the phone, looked at the bumpy country road, and sighed.
This is the place where he was born and raised, the beautiful Huaxi Village, a small village below Yongning City.
Surrounded by three mountains, the lush green mountains form a natural barrier, making Huaxi Village in the valley a paradise.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't stop young people from yearning for the outside world. Especially in recent years, a large number of young and strong laborers have gone to the city to work, leaving only some lonely elderly people and left-behind children in the village.
Walking on a slippery and muddy dirt road, it's no wonder that the driver refused to take him away. Some of the big potholes were as deep as his knees, and the gas tank would probably be scratched after just one trip.
The scorching sun was beating down on his head, making his scalp numb as if he were in a sauna. Jiang Che had no choice but to take off his schoolbag and put it on his head to block the sun. There was no one on the dirt road, only the chirping of birds and insects. This would be a must for even the faint of heart.
Scared to urinate.
Before they had gone far, there were sudden bursts of thunder from the horizon, and then black clouds rolled in, overwhelming the mountains.
Jiang Che looked at the dark clouds and was dumbfounded. After finally returning home, why should he have such a grand welcoming ceremony?!
Dark clouds as thick as ink soon covered Jiang Che's head. It felt like the black clouds were crushing the city. The heavy rain had stopped!
Without any time to think, Jiang Che bolted towards home.
Before he could run far, a dazzling light illuminated the entire sky. Jiang Che was so frightened that he squatted down, covered his ears and closed his mouth. This was definitely a deafening thunder.
"Rumble, click..."
There was a thunderous explosion that resounded throughout the world, shaking the air. Jiang Che had slight tinnitus. Fortunately, he opened his mouth wide just now and did not damage his eardrums.
This is the power of heaven and earth! How terrifying!
The thunder was the prelude to the heavy rain, and sure enough, the heavy rain followed.
At this time, the sky seemed to be leaking, and the rain was pouring down so hard that Jiang Che couldn't even see the road ahead clearly.
The raindrops as big as peanuts hit my body and it hurt. I had never experienced such a heavy rain in more than ten years. I quickly put my schoolbag under my body to protect him. There was his treasure inside.
We hurriedly groped towards home. We couldn't stay in the mountains with such heavy rain for a long time. Not to mention that we were easily struck by lightning. If a flash flood broke out, we would really be dead.
Another burst of bright light flashed by, and a lightning bolt like a giant dragon struck the hilltop on the left. Fire spread everywhere, followed by another bolt, striking the same place.
Jiang Che was so shocked that he forgot to run. What a natural wonder! It’s a pity that the phone is not waterproof, otherwise it would definitely go viral if he filmed it and posted it in a short video.
"There shouldn't be any fellow Taoists who are going through the tribulation, right? Otherwise it won't make sense!"
Under Jiang Che's gaze, at least twenty lightning bolts struck the top of the mountain before it stopped. The rain did not get lighter but became heavier. Soon the water on the road covered Jiang Che's calves.
This was a very bad phenomenon. Suddenly, Jiang Che seemed to hear something. He hurriedly looked to the left and saw that the mountain top that had just been struck by lightning had completely collapsed.
Huge boulders, broken trees, and muddy water rolled down, attacking Jiang Che like landslides and cracks in the ground. Jiang Che was so frightened that he couldn't move forward or retreat.
Unable to sit still and wait for death, Jiang Che began to run forward through the water, because there was a cliff to the right of where Jiang Che was currently standing. If he was washed down and not buried alive, he would be smashed to pieces.
While he was dodging, a tree branch tripped Jiang Che, and before he could get up, a big rock rolled down and hit him on the head, knocking Jiang Che unconscious.
A large number of stones and broken wood kept coming up to bury Jiang Che. The big stone rolled down and hit Jiang Che's waist. The unconscious Jiang Che spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sharp edge of the stone scratched Jiang Che's body, causing blood to flow all over the floor.
At this moment, a stone beneath Jiang Che was studded with a green bead. After the blood was stained by the bead, it was immediately absorbed.
After absorbing all the blood, the green beads emitted a faint green light, and the brilliance entered Jiang Che's body in a flash.
Then something magical happened. Jiang Che's bleeding area gradually stopped bleeding and healed, his breathing became much more stable, and his life was saved.
At the moment Jiang Che's accident happened, Jiang's mother, who was warming up the food in the kitchen, felt her heart twitch violently, and the food bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with the child?"
Father Jiang rushed in immediately after hearing the sound and saw Mother Jiang who was in a state of despair.
Jiang Ma was trembling nervously, looking at the heavy rain outside the house with a horrified expression.
"The child's father, why don't you think Che'er has come back yet? My heart is pounding. Something will happen on the road, right?"
"Crow Zui, can't you hope for something better? Now that the rain has eased a little, I will go find my second brother and take people up the mountain to look for it."
"Wait, I'm going too."
Jiang Ma couldn't wait a minute, so a half-big yellow dog lying in the shack followed her.
"Sea of clouds!" Jiang Yunshan ran into the yard and shouted.
Jiang Yunhai ran out immediately: "What's wrong, big brother and sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yunshan frowned and said, "Jiang Che is back. He just happened to be hit by a heavy rainstorm that has not happened in decades. He still hasn't come back yet. Come with me to find him."
Jiang Yunhai was shocked when he heard this.
"Ah, is there still something like this? Let's go and find it quickly. This matter can't wait."
I found three more people on the road, and a group of six people and a dog quickly went up the mountain.
"Oh my god! There's a landslide?!"
Everyone stopped on the road where there was a landslide, and everyone turned pale with fear.
"Oh, God, my Che'er! Isn't this going to cost me my life?!"
Jiang's mother lost her mind instantly, slapping her thighs and shouting.
Father Jiang immediately stretched out his hand to hold Ma Jiang and comforted her: "Don't cry, I haven't found him yet. Jiang Che is a smart kid, maybe he is hiding somewhere!"
Everyone prayed in their hearts that nothing would happen. Such a large-scale landslide was really dangerous. Even their adults might not be able to escape such a natural disaster!
The six people spread out and searched around the edge, and soon Jiang Yunhai discovered it.
"Yunshan, come here quickly, we found something."
The five people hurried over and saw Jiang Che's schoolbag hanging on a broken branch.
Jiang's mother was so nervous that she ran over, grabbed the schoolbag, and hugged her without letting go.
The little yellow dog ran over, sniffed it, barked twice, ran two steps and looked back at everyone.
"Xiao Huang doesn't know, does he? Let's go and follow him quickly."
The six people immediately followed Xiao Huang and soon found Jiang Che at the bottom of the hillside. They saw a hand exposed between the branches of the stone and covered with blood.
"Ah...my Che'er!"
Jiang Ma let out a shrill cry, then couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.
Jiang Yunshan quickly supported him and shouted nervously: "Mom, are you okay?!"
"Yunshan, my sister-in-law was in shock and fell into a coma. She should be fine."
Jiang Yunhai and the four of them worked together to lift the stone, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Jiang Che had no missing arms or legs.
Jiang Yunhai tested Jiang Che's breathing, and immediately felt happy.
"Brother, Che'er is still breathing. Hurry up and drive the bullock cart to the hospital, and send your sister-in-law there too..."
