Xu Ling blushed and glared at him. “Sister-in-law is here!”

Then, she pulled her hand out forcefully, turned around, and said hurriedly as she walked, “So maybe you have some special attraction on you!”

Seeing her back rushing into the house, Yang Guang was a little stunned.

Then, he lowered his head to look at himself and muttered, “Do I have that much attraction? Could it be that after I obtained the inheritance, I’ve become a lot more handsome?”

While he was being smug, Wu Xiaolian’s face was filled with smiles in the kitchen. She happened to see the scene of the two young men holding hands just now, and her heart was instantly comforted.

However, when she thought of Qi Yingxue and Mu Xiaowan, Wu Xiaolian could not help but sigh!

She liked all three of these young ladies and wanted to take them as her younger sister-in-law.

She was as greedy as Yang Guang!

After washing up, Yang Guang felt that the sky had darkened a little too quickly. It was only seven o’clock and it was already dark. Hence, Yang Guang raised his head and looked at the sky.

When he looked, he realized that the sky had already been filled with dark clouds!

The clouds were very thick. It looked like there was going to be a heavy rain that night.

Yang Guang quickly turned on the lights in the courtyard, then he checked the firewood in the house and other things that were afraid of the rain. Finally, he looked at Little Guang’s nest. He felt that it might not be waterproof, so he found a piece of plastic and covered it with the plastic.

When he was done, there was a faint rumbling sound in the sky.

“No, I still have to go to the greenhouse to take a look!”

Feeling that the rain would not be light that night, Yang Guang quickly went back to his room to get his flashlight and was about to leave.

Xu Ling heard the thunder and came out of her room. Seeing the situation, she immediately said, “I’ll go with you!”

Seeing that she had changed into a tank top and shorts and that she was wearing slippers, Yang Guang shook his head. “No need, I’ll go alone.”

“No, if you need to pack, you can’t do it alone!”

Xu Ling said and quickly went back to her room. Soon, she changed her shoes and came out.

Seeing that she was so insistent, Yang Guang could only nod and did not say anything else.

The two of them greeted Wu Xiaolian, then took the umbrella and rushed out of the door.

At this time, the sky in the west was already filled with lightning and thunder. It was estimated that the heavy rain would fall soon, so the two of them walked quickly to the greenhouse.

It was summer now, so the curtain rollers were not useful, so they were all on the greenhouse.

Yang Guang jumped onto one of the buildings and checked the sturdiness. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he jumped down and looked at the drainage channel.

It would have been better if he didn’t look, but he was a little confused when he saw it. Why was the drainage channel blocked?

“Sister, help me light it up. I’ll clear up the drainage channel!”

Yang Guang said and ran to the small house to find a shovel. He then quickly started digging.

The canal was originally very wide, but it was blocked by mud for a few meters.

If he didn’t clear up quickly, a large amount of rain would fall and not be able to drain away. In the end, the vegetables in the greenhouse would be flooded.

He had just dug two times and the bean-sized raindrops fell.

Yang Guang had just entered the drainage channel. He stopped, turned to Xu Ling and said, “Sister, you go back first. I’ll leave after I finish digging!”

“No, I’ll wait for you!”

Xu Ling was worried that it was too dark that he could not see. She used her flashlight to illuminate the canal and continued, “Don’t be anxious. It’s okay to get wet. It’s not far from home anyway.”

“Alright.”

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Yang Guang used all his strength to clean up the mud.

It only took half a minute for the rain to fall heavily. In an instant, the world was filled with the sound of rain.

Even though Xu Ling was holding an umbrella, the drops of water still splashed onto her legs.

As for Yang Guang, he was even worse off. His entire body was drenched by the rain, and he could barely open his eyes.

Fortunately, the canal was finally cleaned up. The rain that fell quickly flowed past, and then flowed along the slope into the river in the distance.

He reached out to wipe the rainwater off his face. Yang Guang turned around to look at Xu Ling, but there was a flashlight, so he couldn’t see her clearly. He went up to her and said loudly, “Sister, let’s go back!”

“Okay, here’s your umbrella!”

Xu Ling said and handed over the other umbrella.

Yang Guang smiled. He thought to himself, “What’s the point of holding an umbrella if it’s already like this?”

So he put the umbrella under his arm. He reached out to grab Xu Ling’s hand and walked into the village.

Just as they reached the river, they heard a rumbling sound and stopped at the same time.

This was not the sound of thunder!

Feeling that the ground under his feet was trembling, Yang Guang was stunned. Then, he thought that it was not good!

Just as he was stunned, the flood from the mountain rushed down with a roar!

The river in the village was originally a small stream, and the river channel was very narrow. However, the rapid flow of the water caused the mountain flood to roar and the water level instantly rose by one meter!

If they had not hesitated just now, the two of them would have had a chance to cross the river, but now, they could not.

The mountain torrent had already spread to the bottom of their feet. The surface of the water was more than ten meters wide, and they could not cross it.

“How did the water come so fast?”

Yang Guang was a little dazed. He turned to look at Xu Ling, and seeing that her body was slightly trembling, he said, “Let’s go back to the small house first. The flood would only stop after some time!”

“Okay, okay.”

Xu Ling was a little nervous at the moment. One reason was that she had been afraid of thunder since she was young, and the other reason was that she had never experienced such a situation before. The torrential rain was pouring, and the mountain flood was erupting. She had no idea what to do now.

Then, Yang Guang held her hand. The two of them went back to the greenhouse together and entered the small house.

After entering the door, Yang Guang’s first thought was not that he was drenched, but that he looked at Xu Ling. “Sister, do you have your phone?”

Xu Ling tried to search for it. The phone was in the pocket of her shorts, so she took it out and asked, “Yes, why?”

“Give Sister-in-law a call. Tell her that there’s a flood and we can’t go back. Don’t let her worry!” Yang Guang said.

“Okay.”

Xu Ling nodded. She dialed Wu Xiaolian’s number and explained the situation.

Only then did Wu Xiaolian know why there was a loud rumble outside. She hurriedly gave a few words of advice before hanging up the phone.

As it was very dark in the house, Yang Guang wanted to turn on the lights. However, when he pressed the switch, he realized that the power had been cut off because of the thunderstorm!

This was a very natural situation. There were no lightning rods in the countryside, so it was easy to be struck by lightning. Therefore, it was necessary to cut off the power. If the lightning broke the line, it would be very troublesome to repair it.

There was only a flashlight in the house. Yang Guang simply placed it on the table. It could barely be used as a lighting tool.

Then, he turned to look at Xu Ling. “Sis, are your clothes wet?”

“A little wet. I can barely endure it, but what about you?” Xu Ling asked.

“I… I might as well endure it too,” Yang Guang said.

When Xu Ling heard this, she bit her lip. “You’re all wet. It’s better to take it off. Even if you’re not sick, you’re still very uncomfortable!”

Yang Guang was stunned.. “Ah? Is this appropriate?”
