The fat man chuckled and said, "My cards may be a bit weak." Although this guy said so, it could be seen from her expression that he was getting the benefit and still behaved, and it was obvious that his cards were strong.

Everyone around the table stood up and stared with wide eyes. They saw the fat man slowly turning over the first card, which was a club 1o. Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is it three 1o?" I don't know.

Who asked this?

"I'm sorry, it's really three of a kind." The fat man chuckled and placed the three cards in the center of the table, meaning that everyone could see clearly that he was not lying.

The strange man's mouth moved slightly, and he said in a very soft voice: "Cheng Rong."

Then, he happily turned over his card, which was three queens. Now the whole basement was in chaos. The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured: "It's impossible, how could it be possible?

Is it three Q?"

The strange man stopped procrastinating now. He collected the money on the table and quickly put it into the bag behind his buttocks. It took a long time for everyone to recover.

"Haha, what a good hand. Even though Boss Zhang lost, it's an honor to lose. If I had such a good hand, I would still play like this." Zhang Meihua said, putting a bottle of drink in front of everyone.

Then he sat down in his seat and said, "Come on, let's continue playing."

"Lend me 20,000 yuan and I'll sign it," the fat man shouted loudly. It seemed that he would not give up until he got back the money he had exported.

Wang Youcai felt a little happy. He was thinking that it seemed that the fish had really taken the bait.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night, and the sky suddenly changed its face. Dark clouds surged out instantly, blocking the bright moonlight. In an instant, strong winds arose, thunder and lightning struck.

Xia Jian, who had been lying on the big bed in the apartment, thinking about the silver needle passing through his body, sat up in a hurry when he heard the wind outside the window. He closed the window first, and then quickly dialed Zhao Hong.

"Hello! Zhao Hong, this is Xia Jian, what's the weather like in Xiping Village?" Xia Jian asked loudly as soon as the phone call came through.

Zhao Hong on the phone was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know, I just came back from cleaning the river, I was a little tired and fell asleep."

"Immediately inform the villagers to do a good job in flood prevention, especially in the breeding plant and your vegetable greenhouse. Workers must be arranged to take turns on duty. Don't be careless," Xia Jian warned on the phone.

Zhao Hong seemed to have opened the window, and she could only hear her laughing and saying: "You are too nervous! There seems to be a moon here. Why are we preventing floods?"

"Is the wind blowing? Is it strong?" Xia Jian asked.

Zhao Hong paused and said: "It seems the wind has picked up, but if it rains, it's unlikely."

"You do what I say right away. I have a strong premonition that there may be a heavy rain tonight. It has already started raining in Pingdu City. If you don't believe me, just listen." Xia Jian handed the microphone to the glass window, and there were heavy raindrops outside the window.

It had crackled on the glass window.

When Zhao Hong heard this, he responded: "I'll go arrange people right away."

After Xia Jian hung up the phone, he called Ouyang Hong again. Ouyang Hong answered the phone quickly. When she heard it was Xia Jian's voice, she yawned and asked, "Why are you calling so late?"

What are you doing? Do you want to find someone to chat with? "

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "Forget about chatting, how is the river embankment repaired?"

"Don't mention it, the people in the army are really amazing at their work. All the work was completed this morning. Now I can sleep peacefully," Ouyang Hong said with a smile on the phone.

Xia Jian was startled for a moment, and then said: "I think you should go to sleep. There may be a heavy rain tonight. Please see if there is anything you need to pay attention to."

"Heavy rainstorm? The weather station didn't say anything about it, and furthermore, there's no sign of rain," Ouyang Hong said in a disbelieving tone.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "You better believe me! The rain has already started in Pingdu City, and maybe it will arrive in Pingyang Town soon."

Ouyang Hong paused on the phone and said immediately: "Okay! I will call every village now to ask everyone to do a good job in flood prevention. I would rather believe it than believe it doesn't happen." After saying this, Ouyang

Hong hung up the phone.

The rain outside the window became heavier and heavier, as if it was falling from the sky. Xia Jian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked towards the second floor.

He knocked on Guo Meili's door. Guo Meili was wearing pajamas and asked sleepily: "What's going on, Mr. Xia? I'm a little sleepy."

Xia Jian walked straight in, sat down on the chair in his room, and asked with a smile, "It's raining so hard outside, how can you still sleep?"

"Is it raining outside?" Guo Meili said, opening the curtains, and she was shocked when she saw rainwater pouring down the glass windows.

Xia Jian smiled slightly and asked: "Think quickly, is there anything we need to be careful about? The rain is a bit scary, so we must not cause any accidents."

Guo Meili hurriedly put on her clothes. She thought for a while and said: "Almost all our staff in Pingyang Town have been withdrawn. Now it is the Heiwang Village project. Where are the people from our project department?"

"Is there a phone number? Give me a call quickly. If that doesn't work, we will all withdraw." Xia Jian said, standing up a little anxiously.

Guo Meili quickly grabbed the phone on the table, thought for a moment, and dialed it. The call was quickly connected. Guo Meili eagerly asked about the general situation on the construction site, and then said in a commanding tone: "Machine

It doesn’t matter, the main thing is that everyone must be safe.”

After hanging up the phone, Guo Meili breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, everything is fine. I have been too tired these two days. I fell unconscious as soon as I lay down. Fortunately, you are here." Guo Meili

As he spoke, he smiled modestly.

At this time, Fang Fang walked in after hearing the voice. She was also wearing pajamas and seemed to have fallen asleep. She glanced at Xia Jian and asked softly: "Mr. Xia, should we go back to Xiping Village in this case?"

"

"I really want to go back, but it's raining so hard. How can I drive this car? It's too unsafe. Let's wait until the rain stops!" Xia Jian said, looking out the window anxiously.

Fang Fang actually understood Xia Jian's thoughts very well. She thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll drive slower. The problem shouldn't be big. If you're like this, why don't we go back?"

"Okay! You first get two raincoats, two pairs of rain boots, and a flashlight. Their engineering department should have these things. I'll go up and prepare them. We'll be out in a minute." Xia Jian said and stood up.

Guo Meili hurriedly said: "We have all these things. I'll have them delivered to the garage downstairs." As she said that, she grabbed the phone on the table.

There was not a single pedestrian on the streets of Pingdu City, not even a single vehicle. The torrential rain had put the drainage system of this old city through a severe test.

The water flowed from the street like a small river, with some uneven places and small waves. The BMW slowly moved forward in the water, and the automatic windshield wipers kept waving.

But the rain was so heavy that I could hardly see what was in front of me from the car.

Fortunately, Fang Fang had the experience of driving in the rain. She kept her eyes fixed on the front and kept the car going slowly around the downhill road. It took more than an hour to walk out of the small town of Pingyang before she got out of the city.

The strange thing is that the rain became much lighter once we left the city, but the thunder behind us seemed to be chasing someone. Fang Fang drove the car and said to Xia Jian: "Mr. Xia, I feel

The rain may not have fallen in Xiping Village yet.”

"That's fine, but have you noticed that the rain seems to be moving from Pingdu City to Xiping Village?" Xia Jian said a little worried.

Fang Fang chuckled and said, "I agree. Look, the rain is getting lighter and lighter. The road ahead is almost dry."

Xia Jian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He chuckled and said, "In this case, you can raise the car a little higher. We'd better rush to Xiping Village before it rains heavily."

Fang Fang didn't speak, but Xia Jian could feel that the BMW sped up a lot in the dark. As we walked along, every village was very quiet. I felt that the heavy rain in this city had nothing to do with me.

He didn't know whether the call he made to Ouyang Hong attracted her attention, but when he thought about it, if the rain stopped and alarmed the entire Pingyang Town, it was really not a joke.

When the BMW passed Pingyang Town, Xia Jian wanted to get out of the car and ask Ouyang Hong, but when he saw that the time on the dashboard in the car was already two o'clock at midnight, he said nothing.

When the BMW entered Xiping Village, music was playing on the loudspeaker of the village committee. When the music was played at this time, it didn't sound good at all, but it had a strange feeling. However, Xia Jian understood that this was because Zhao Hong was afraid

The villagers fell asleep early and deliberately disturbed everyone.

As soon as they entered the village committee compound, they saw dozens of young and strong young men standing in the compound, each holding a flashlight and tools in a shovel.

"Mr. Xia, isn't it raining heavily in Pingdu? Why are you here?" Chen Erniu asked in surprise when he saw Xia Jian.

Xia Jian nodded and said: "The rain in Pingdu City is very heavy, and the streets are full of water. Our car rows out of Pingdu City like a rowing boat. I will work hard for everyone tonight. If it doesn't rain, wouldn't it be better?

"

"In such a dry day, there is little chance of light rain, let alone heavy rain." I don't know who said this, but before he could finish his words, there was a rumble of thunder in the distance.

And one after another, each one is closer than the other.

Xia Jian let out a long breath and said: "It seems that it is unlikely that everyone will want to go back to sleep. Hurry up and assign positions and go to the places where danger is most likely to occur immediately!"
