The rain slowly became heavier and heavier, and the sky became increasingly cloudy, so cloudy that almost no light could be seen, and it looked black and red from a distance. Originally it was only around nine in the morning, but at first glance it looked no different from seven or eight in the evening.

I was still very young at that time, so not only was I not afraid of this kind of weather, I actually found it quite interesting.

Just when everyone was standing by the river in silence, someone in the crowd suddenly heard shouting: "The dragon is gone...! The dragon is gone...!"

Hearing the words "The dragon has left", the people around him went crazy in an instant.

I was only a few years old at the time and didn't understand the meaning, so I grabbed our old man's clothes and asked: "Dad, what is a walking dragon?"

Our old man didn’t answer my words. Maybe it was because the surroundings were too noisy and he didn’t hear me at all, or maybe he was thinking about something on his mind at this time. So I asked him three times in a row, but he didn’t say a single word.

No one answered me.

At this time, the person who just shouted continued to shout: "Everyone, listen up...! No one is allowed to stand by the river. If you want to watch the excitement, go home and watch. I told you! I'll wait for you later.

If someone is disobedient, offends the Dragon King, and loses his life, we will be irresponsible! Did you fucking hear that? If you hear that, go home as soon as possible!"

The speaker was a cadre in the town. After he finished shouting to the onlookers, he quickly ran to our side and said to our old man: "Mr. Hu, the current situation is quite special... We also

Don’t watch the closing ceremony here... let’s go back to the real office to talk about the rest first!”

Our old man nodded and said, "No problem, I will listen to your arrangements!"

The town official heard that our old man agreed so quickly, so he smiled and said: "That's great! Come with me!"

But after taking only two steps, our old man stopped and looked at the big tree beside him.

When I saw this, I stopped and turned my head curiously to look at the big tree. I saw a man without an umbrella in the heavy rain, standing under the tree and silently looking at our father and son.

This person is very strange. He looks like a woman, but he is also unusually tall and strong. You could say he is a man! His whole body is full of female characteristics.

She didn't hold an umbrella, just stood in the rain, her body had already been soaked, but she didn't seem to care at all, or maybe the only thing she cared about at this time was our father and son. To be more precise, she

What I care about is our old man.

Seeing that we were fine and suddenly stopped leaving, the cadre in the town was suddenly stunned and asked quickly: "Mr. Hu, what's wrong? Why didn't we leave suddenly?"

Then he saw that our old man and I didn't answer, but just looked to the side. He thought it was raining heavily and didn't hear him, so he asked in a louder voice: "Mr. Hu, what's the matter? What happened all of a sudden?

Aren’t you leaving?”

Only then did our old man and I come to our senses and draw our attention away from that strange woman.

Perhaps they noticed that our old man's attention was on the nearby tree, and the cadres in the town also looked at the tree curiously, but at this time the woman who was standing under the tree disappeared.

The cadre in the town did not see the strange woman. He only saw a crooked-neck tree standing there, so he asked with some confusion: "Mr. Hu, what's wrong with that tree?"

When our old man heard the cadre ask this question, he cleared his throat slightly and said, "It's nothing... I just think that tree is a little special!"

When the cadre in the town heard what our old man said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I said Mr. Hu, what time has it been? Let's not study whether this tree is special...it will be gone soon. If it's too late,

We can eat a little, but we can’t eat it and walk away!”

After our old man heard what the cadre said, he smiled and said, "Sorry! Please lead the way!"

After the cadre in the town said hello, he hurriedly took us towards the office.

In fact, the so-called town office is a shabby house not too far from the river. To be honest, there is not much money. For them, as long as the house does not leak, it is a good house.

The office is not big, and there is a desk, four chairs, and a bed in it.

After entering the house, I was not polite. I pulled up a chair and sat down. At the same time, I turned to ask the town cadre and said, "Uncle, do I know why you just told those people not to stand by the river? Isn't it the next one?"

Rain? Why do you look like you are in danger?"

When the cadre in the town heard my question, he smiled and said: "Kid, you don't know... There is a legend here that dragons cannot be seen by others. Once it knows that it is seen by others, it will be angry to death.

"

"Long Ke is so narrow-minded!" I quickly added after hearing this.

As soon as I said these words, the town cadre was shocked. He hurriedly ran over to me and made a silencing gesture, saying: "My little ancestor, you can't say such nonsense!"

"

Seeing the town official's reaction, our old man also said: "Hu Tian, ​​shut your mouth! Apart from talking nonsense every day, what else do you do?"

My father said something to me inexplicably, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. After glaring at the town cadre, I ran to the window, preparing to peek through the crack of the window to see how the legendary dragon passed by.

local.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. What started as a sprinkling of light rain soon turned into a downpour accompanied by "crackling, banging, rumbling" thunder.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and it is so dark with red edges that it makes people more or less breathless.

I stared at the river by the window for about ten minutes, but there was no change at all on the river. Just when I thought the cadres in the town were fooling us, suddenly there was a sudden change on the main river.

As a gust of wind blew by, I saw a water column on a small tributary parallel to the main river. Note that it was a water column, not a current.

Immediately afterwards, it broke through the river bank directly from the middle of the river, bypassed the villages on the side, and rolled towards the main river.

This water column came with great force, rolling sand and rocks along the way. When it reached the main river, it was already two or three meters high. Strangely enough, as soon as the water column reached the main river, it turned a 90-degree turn and followed the river.

And left, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Looking at everything in front of me, my jaw almost dropped. To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there was such a natural wonder in the world, or maybe it wasn't a natural wonder at all.

.

What's even more strange is that where the water column passed by, it only washed away a short bridge, leaving nothing in the other fields damaged.
