Chapter 213: Heaven has its own way of reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded in the end 2
At this time, the quiet night was suddenly broken by another thunderclap from the horizon. This loud noise, accompanied by dazzling lightning, sounded at the edge of the forest like a sword piercing the sky. At this time, the villagers living in the cave halfway up the mountain were awakened by the sudden thunder and lightning and were terrified.
They stared with wide eyes, watching the lightning accompanied by deafening thunder, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, as if it was going to wake the whole world from its slumber. Lightning flashed across the dark night sky, illuminating everything around.
Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire mountain area, but unfortunately several large trees on the side of the mountain became its target. In an instant, the large trees were struck by lightning and instantly caught fire, which was then extinguished by heavy rain.
Zhang Dagui and his wife, and Zhang Ergui's family of three, who lived in the cave, were also awakened by the earth-shaking thunder. They watched in amazement as the lightning exploded near their shed, their hearts filled with fear.
At this moment, a woman's scream came from the cave, which was creepy. The screamers were Zhang Dagui's wife and Zhang Ergui's daughter-in-law. They saw from the light of lightning that the tree that was scorched by lightning was the place where their family built the shed.
In order to save trouble, the Zhang family did not build a solid tent, but chose to put the tarpaulin directly under the tree. In addition, the Zhang couple was worried that their luggage would be stolen, so they did not go to the cave with others to avoid the rain. To make matters worse, Zhang Dabao was too lazy to walk, so he also slept in the shed under the big tree with his grandparents.
Zhang Dagui's wife ran out of the cave regardless of the wind, rain, lightning and thunder outside, shouting, "Son! Dabao..." Zhang Dagui followed closely behind.
Zhang Ergui was also anxious to go check the situation, but was pulled back by his wife, "Boss, are you trying to save your life? Don't you see there's still thunder and lightning outside? It's very dangerous for you to go out now."
"But...where are my parents and Dabao?" Zhang Ergui said stutteringly.
"Master, don't be silly. Didn't you see that the tree was on fire? The man can still get better. What can you do if you go there now? You are not a doctor."
Zhang Ergui was very careful about his life. After hearing what his wife said, he no longer wanted to go out. "Then let's wait until the rain is lighter before going to take a look!"
At the same time, the people from the mountain village who lived in the cave wanted to go and see, after all, they were from the same village, but when they saw that the second son of the Zhang family did not go, they all gave up their worries. The son did not care about his parents, so why should they, the outsiders, care about them?
Zhang Dagui and his wife ran over here with thunder and lightning overhead. The first thing that caught their eyes was that the big tree they used to tie the ropes had been burnt to a crisp. The bark on the trunk was burnt and lifted, revealing the black trunk inside.
Half of the tarpaulin used to shelter from the rain was burned, and the other half hung on the cart, swaying in the wind. The three people lying on the ground, covered with branches and quilts, were burned to a crisp and lay there motionless, their skin on the surface of their bodies had been charred and turned black.
Zhang Dagui's wife screamed in fear, her voice was sharp and shrill, piercing the silence of the night sky. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, her eyes widened to the extreme, and she looked at the tragic scene in horror. Then, her legs softened, her body lost balance, and she fainted on the ground.
Zhang Dagui looked at the miserable state of his parents and son, as well as his fainted daughter-in-law. He was at a loss as to what to do. He cried out in pain, "Dad, Mom, Dabao, my son! Everyone, please come and help! Please save my parents and son, please!"
The villagers who heard the noise hid in their tents because it was still raining outside and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time in the distance, illuminating the entire village.
They were afraid that lightning would strike again, so they didn't dare to come out to check the situation. Everyone was hiding in the tent nervously, silently praying that this disaster would end as soon as possible.
The wind gradually died down, the rain gradually subsided, and the sky turned pale. Based on past experience, the villagers knew that there would be no more thunder. They walked out of the tent wearing straw raincoats and went to see what was happening at the Zhang family's place.
Zhang Ergui and his family of three came over at this time. Seeing that the three people struck by lightning were already dead, Zhang Ergui and his family of three burst into tears.
"Father, mother..."
"Grandpa, grandma, big brother..."
Zhang Dagui and his wife, who had been soaked in the rain for half the night and had cried until they had run out of tears, sat on the ground motionless.
At this time, the sky gradually brightened, but the drizzle continued to fall. People heard that the Zhang family did not listen to the advice and insisted on setting up the tent under the big tree to avoid the rain. As a result, they were struck by lightning and the family of three died.
After hearing the news, everyone secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They were not happy because of the misfortune of other families, but they were glad that they had listened to the advice of the village chief and stayed away from the big tree.
After all, if the village chief's warning was not heeded, the consequences could be very serious. Therefore, they were full of gratitude to the Cheng family and the Yun family, and were determined to follow them all the way.
Because the people of Tongshu Village arrived late, they could only set up some simple tents for one or two people to live in and guard their belongings.
Most of the villagers squeezed into the cave. This was the only cave that was created after the village heads of several other villages discussed and let the people from their respective villages squeeze into each other.
Because there were so many people and the cave was so small, everyone could only sit and lean on each other to rest. In the middle of the night, screams were heard, but because there were so many people and it was inconvenient to go in and out, no one came out to check the situation.
It was not until dawn when the rain gradually subsided that several people from Tongshu Village came out to check and learned that someone from the Zhang family in Kaoshan Village had been struck by lightning and died.
Zhang Dagui's uncle, his father-in-law, and his family came from Tongshu Village. When Zhang Dagui's aunt heard about this, she found a straw raincoat and followed the villagers to check.
When she saw the three charred bodies, she screamed in fear, "Retribution, this is retribution! Zhang Goudan's oath has come true, this is retribution!"
Dagui's aunt knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Oh God! This has nothing to do with me! The idea was all from my mother-in-law. I swear, it was Zhang Goudan himself who came up with it. They are the ones who let down Zhang Erdan and his wife and Sigui. It has nothing to do with me! Oh God, please don't punish me!"
The villagers who watched the lively scene yesterday all knew that what Dagui’s aunt was talking about was that Zhang Sigui was replaced, but everyone didn’t know about this inside story yet?
