Chapter 1624: The Knowledge in Elementary School Textbooks Has Nothing to Do with Feudal Superstition

Wei Chou was such a lively person. As soon as he heard the news, he went out to inquire about it. Now he came back and laughed loudly and said: "That fool stayed up most of the night and took shelter under a tree. As a result, lightning and thunder struck him. He stood close to the tree that was sheltering from the rain, and it was chopped to pieces on the outside and tender on the inside. Hahaha, but he didn't die, he was only injured. He was scared out of his wits, and now he has a fever. The funny thing is that he is suffering from this disease. The owner of his house drove him to the thatched hut, not allowing him to live in the house for fear of infecting the family. Mr. Lu from the navy next door is now borrowing houses everywhere. What kind of prince is that? , I’m still lying in the thatched hut, too burned to get up.”

Wei Chou took this matter as a joke and told it to everyone.

Zhong Ziyu is quite interested. He is also a patient, but he is treated well, so now he is holding Wai Shan in his arms, holding his own small bowl of lean meat porridge, and while eating, he asks curiously: "What happened next?"

"What happened next? Now no one is willing to lend him a house. The islanders all think he is a high-ranking official in the capital. They say he must be a corrupt official. He was struck by lightning after taking away people's wealth. They say this is his retribution."

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

The Imperial Master suddenly panicked. He pulled Liu Wei tremblingly to the side and whispered to her what happened last night. After saying this, he became worried: "Is it blasphemous? The Water Dragon King is angry, so A small punishment but a big warning? If Prince Lin is struck by lightning, will I also..."

Liu Wei looked at the Imperial Master speechlessly, patted him on the forehead, and said: "Wake up, the knowledge in elementary school textbooks, you can't take shelter under a tree when it rains, has nothing to do with feudal superstition."

The national teacher didn't know anything about elementary school textbooks. He frowned and shirked his responsibility: "Anyway, you are the one who said that the Water Dragon King guided me. You taught me to say this. I have to blame you."

Liu Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him and went back to the house to find his grandfather.

Ji Nanzheng was also chatting with Zhu Wensong, talking about being struck by lightning. Ji Nanzheng was a traditional literati who was in awe of heaven and earth. As he spoke, he revealed his doubts about the character of Prince Lin. He felt that Prince Lin had really done nothing. Bad thing, how could thunder strike him?

Zhu Wensong explained to him: "We are an isolated island here, surrounded by water. Normally, when lightning strikes during a thunderstorm, the thunder will hit the most prominent point in the surrounding flat ground. Our island is on the water." , if the water surface is flat, then the island itself is the protruding point, and within this protruding point, there is an even more protruding point, which is the top of the mountain. Prince Lin stayed up in the middle of the night and ran to the top of the mountain, under the tallest tree. Go for a walk, he’s just looking for trouble.”

Zhu Wensong knew astronomy from above and geography from below, so he naturally understood the basic common sense that Liu Wei said in primary school textbooks, so as soon as he said it, Ji Nanzheng understood.

Then Ji Nanzheng asked: "Why does thunder hit the highest thing?"

Zhu Wensong: "..."

Ji Nanzheng: "How can Lei tell what is the highest?"

Zhu Wensong: "..."

Ji Nanzheng: "Mr. Lei doesn't have eyes, right?"

Zhu Wensong: "..."

Zhu Wensong stood up and left the room silently, expressing tactfully that he no longer wanted to talk to Brother Ji.

Liu Wei listened happily and suppressed a smile.

Things like electric charge, resistance, and electric field are too profound to talk about. Liu Wei doesn't plan to educate his grandfather. As for the master, he can find a day to explain it to him, so as not to leave the old man speechless next time he is asked.

The first day of fun started so peacefully. Except for Prince Lin who lived in the hut and was so angry that he almost vomited blood, everyone else regarded this day as the same as before, just an ordinary and ordinary day.

Until noon, a heavy rain hit, and the raging rain, along with the fierce and chaotic wind, blew the entire Menshi Island to the point of collapse.

Prince Lin being struck by lightning was like a harbinger, and now, the natural disaster has finally arrived, and the target is this small isolated island in the entire sea...

Prince Lin was finally brought into the house, because in the strong wind and heavy rain, the straw hut had been blown away. He was covered in mud and clinging to the big tree next to the hut, shouting for help with difficulty.

The wind was as fast as lightning, the rain and snow were adding to the frost, and when Prince Lin felt that he was dying, in the wooden house in front, a dark-faced girl wearing a raincoat took him in.

But he was not rescued, because the inside of the house was only slightly better than the outside.

The wind was so strong that it almost destroyed the whole world. The family of five in the house tried hard to block all the doors and windows with all the things they could withstand. The fluffy roof had already leaked under the abuse of the wind. Fortunately, There are still wooden tiles that can barely resist, and the house has not collapsed yet.

Every household in the upper reaches of Menshi Island is in a similar situation now. They were caught off guard by the disaster. They were locked in their houses, not daring to open the windows or doors, and tried their best to resist the intrusion of nature.

The same goes for Liu Weirong Leng.

It is absolutely impossible to go out at this time. Even if we have agreed to go up the mountain during the typhoon, it is not now.

There are many trees on Menshi Island, and the trees are very good barriers. With the protection of these trees, the wind force experienced by the houses on the island is actually two-thirds less than the real wind force.

After Liu Wei confirmed that there was a typhoon, he inspected these houses. Perhaps because they were built on an island, these houses were prepared to withstand the storm when they were first built, so they were built to be extra strong, not only better than The brick house was poor, and special ditches were dug on both sides of the house. These ditches were used to divert water to ensure that in stormy weather, rainwater would not accumulate and flood the foundation.

Now Liu Wei, like other islanders, is staying in the house with peace of mind, blocking the doors and windows, waiting for the most violent moment to pass.

No one spoke in the room. Xiao Li hugged Chou Chou and was surrounded by her grandson and grandson. The three children huddled in the corner of the bed. The adults wrapped them in quilts and told them to stay away when they were afraid. Cover your head with a quilt to make it less scary.

The three children were very obedient, and the little grandson was even in the mood to comfort his two brothers and sisters: "Don't worry, my father built our house before. It has deep roots and is stronger than a tree. It won't collapse."

Xiao Li smiled at him, and he hugged his sister very tightly. He thought that even if the house really collapsed, he would not let his sister get hurt.

The adults at home were busy blocking the door, and the three children in the bedroom were completely protected by them.

Gradually, Chou Chou became sleepy. From the nervousness and fear at the beginning to the exhaustion now, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Xiao Li let his sister sleep in his arms and covered her tightly with a quilt.

Xiao Sunsun was watching from the side and felt that he was sleepy too, so he curled up, leaned on Xiao Li's shoulder, and fell asleep too.

Xiao Li covered his little brother with a quilt. In the blink of an eye, two of the three children in the room were already unconscious.

The wind and rain outside the house have not stopped yet, and there are even signs of getting worse.

The sky is dark, black clouds are rolling, and the "rumbling" sounds from time to time destroy people's will and cause immeasurable burden and pressure to those who hear it.

This heavy rain lasted for a full twenty hours, which was nearly two days.

From noon on the first day to the morning of the third day, no one on the island expected that this unexpected disaster would last so long.

At noon on the third day when the wind weakened, Liu Wei and Rong Ling left the house that was as safe as a fortress. They traveled east and south, facing the rain, and quickly shuttled through the mountains, and finally arrived at the place they wanted to observe. .

The typhoon has not gone far. In the distant rivers and seas, hurricanes and whirlpools are still continuing. They watched carefully and differentiated. Their faces were wet with rain and their bodies were soaked. It was not until two hours later that they felt like drowned rats. return.

After quickly taking a hot bath, the couple announced to the others in the room: "Dajiang County, we found it."
