The sky was dark, condensing in the sky above Jiangnan, as if it was about to rain.

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and there were hundreds of thunders.

The frequent thunder made the people panic, even the people of Jiang Lai Province in the south of the Yangtze River were frightened.

Although the dark clouds only floated over the Mo Chao province, the loud thunder, like the wrath of God, was heard by the people in the surrounding provinces, and the people in Yanyang City in Nanyu Province heard it very clearly. .

Not only was the sound of the thunder loud, but the rain was even louder.

It rained heavily for several days and nights, and it never stopped for a moment.

What a coincidence that this dark cloud appeared that day not only in Jianglai Province, but also in the southern part of Qi State, near the Yangtze River Basin, and also in the southern part of the small country Wan State, near the Yangtze River Basin.

Regarding this, in the Three Kingdoms, people have been rumored about this strange phenomenon, and the various rumors can be said to be full of tricks and have their own characteristics.

There is a rumor in Yaozhou, Jianglai Province, which is close to the Yangtze River Basin. This statement sounds mysterious, but many local people still believe it.

In a restaurant in Yaozhou, the voice of this storyteller can be heard everywhere.

Outside this door, the heavy rain never stopped falling.

Of course, the water in the canals surrounding the city in Yaozhou City is increasing day by day.

The heavy rain kept falling, and it was impossible to do farm work in the fields. Many wealthy people ran to inns and restaurants in the city to hide from the rain. While hiding from the rain, they listened to the storyteller's words and ate good wine. Isn’t it wonderful to have good food and such a satisfying life?

The heavy rains that have fallen continuously for several days have made every restaurant and inn in the city almost full of people, which has brought a lot of income to the owners of these restaurants and inns.

"Today, it has been raining heavily in Jiang Lai Province for days and nights, and deafening thunder can be heard every moment. This phenomenon has not happened in decades. Everyone! Everyone! I don't know... Does anyone know? Is there a reason for this?”

As soon as the storyteller asked the question, the guests below and upstairs all shook their heads, not knowing the truth, and started talking among themselves.

The storyteller sitting downstairs in front of hundreds of guests smiled triumphantly with a middle-aged face.

Seeing that no one could answer, the storyteller smiled broadly before answering.

"Everyone! Everyone! Be quiet, be quiet. Listen to me."

After seeing that the voice had become much quieter, the storyteller continued:

"Today, the sky above Jiang Lai, the only province in the Mo Dynasty, is completely dark. It has been raining heavily for several days and nights, and the thunder is deafening and has not stopped."

"Everyone! Everyone! Does anyone know where else such a strange phenomenon can occur?"

The storyteller asked again, and the restaurant seemed to be like a detective.

However, the answer this time was much better than before.

Many of the people sitting here are scholars from Jianglai, and these scholars are naturally interested in all kinds of strange and weird things in the world.

"As far as Li knows, this phenomenon has appeared in Lunan County, Yuanping County, Guangping County of Wan State, as well as Tieping Prefecture, Ningyao County and other places of Qi State."

The person who replied loudly was a scholar from Yaozhou City. The scholar was wearing a light blue robe and was sitting upstairs with wine and food placed beside him.

Looking at this appearance, it must be some big family in Yaozhou City.

After listening to this man's words, the storyteller smiled and shouted: "Yes, it is these places."

"Let me tell you what the reason is. This phenomenon has not happened in decades. According to the records handed down a hundred years ago, if black clouds, rain, and thunder are concentrated in one province, the province will be born on that day.

The unborn child needs to go to other places, otherwise, the child will be destroyed in the future and will be punished by God!"

"Then... let me ask you again, what does it mean that these phenomena are concentrated in the Mohe area?"

I saw that everyone in the restaurant was talking among themselves, but no reply was heard for a long time.

The impatient customers began to rush.

"What on earth is it? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, you always keep us guessing, how do we know?"

"That's right. Just tell me."

Seeing that everyone was very interested in this matter, the storyteller just returned.

"Everyone! Everyone! Be quiet, be quiet, and listen to me."

Seeing that the voice became quieter, the storyteller continued: "Nowadays, these phenomena are concentrated in the Mo River area, which is very strange. You may wish to think about it, this Mo River is the boundary between our Mo Dynasty, Qi State, and Wan State.

It means God is blessing me, Mo Chao."

Listening to the storyteller's words, a guest was very puzzled and asked: "Just now, you said that there was a strange phenomenon in a province and that children born on that day had to be moved to other places. Now you said that this blessed me the Mo Dynasty.

Is this a blessing or a curse?”

Hearing what the guest said, everyone around them turned their attention to the storyteller.

I thought of teasing them, but I didn't expect that some people would believe it. If I didn't say it, I would think that what I said was false, and it would definitely affect my business in the future.

After thinking about it, the storyteller continued to make up: "As the saying goes, if God gives you a good thing, it will naturally take away something from you. So, it must be unusual for this strange phenomenon to happen in Jiang Lai Province.

It's auspicious, and it's auspicious for the Mo Dynasty if it happens in the Mo River area. So you should understand."

Good guy, the story was obviously made up, and with his fluent mouth, everyone here was quickly convinced.

However, due to such rumors, many local people have begun to follow suit.

As long as the darkness, heavy rain, and thunder persist for a day, the newborn baby will be moved to another province.

Rich people don't care whether they believe it or not, but such words are spread in the streets and alleys. Who would not be afraid of this bloody disaster and the words that will be punished by God?

It’s a tough request for people who don’t have money.

Within a few days, many local people became convinced.

For those who don't have money, pregnant women who haven't given birth yet can delay their pregnancy for one day longer.

It was rumors like this that caused one tragedy after another. I guess there is no need to elaborate further on what kind of tragedy they were.

However, heavy rain, thunder, and the lack of sunshine in Jiang Lai made the government very worried. Who had time to deal with these tragedies and rumors, so they were all nervously planning their escape route.

"Liu Zhizhou! Liu Zhizhou!"

A flurry of panicked words ran into the state government office.

The person who serves as the magistrate of Yaozhou is an official in his forties, and he has been the magistrate of Yaozhou for more than ten years.

I am very worried and afraid of these strange phenomena today.

"What's the matter?"

"Liu Zhizhou, the water level has risen a few points today."

"It's rising again," Liu Zhizhou muttered to himself, and then ordered: "In this case, as soon as the water level is higher than the ground, let me know again."

Listening to Liu Zhizhou's words, Liu Tongzhi on the side was a little worried and asked: "Liu Zhizhou, will it be too late to evacuate by then?"

Liu Zhizhou sighed and said: "Although the rain has not stopped for a few days, we still have to wait and see. If we withdraw too early, it will cause public resentment before the current events happen to that extent, which may be detrimental to my official reputation.

"

After replying to Tongzhi's words, Liu Zhizhou looked at the soldiers who had not left before him and continued to explain: "In this way, the city gates must not be closed in the past few days. As long as there are people who are willing to flee, please do not stop them."

"yes."
