At night, nine o'clock.

In Yuzhou City, there were strong winds, lightning and thunder, the sky seemed to have cracked open in countless openings, and the heavy rain formed a waterfall, pouring towards the earth.

River dam bungalow.

Warm yellow lights filled every corner of the house. In the small flowerpot on the desk, the heart-shaped green leaves of pothos hung down.

The floor fan is set to the shaking mode, swinging left and right to deliver gentle wind.

The girls' laughter and laughter came from the room, which was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

There was a bed on the floor, and Xue Yuantong was lying on the mat on the bed, playing Landlord with sisters Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu.

Although there were four of them, they played a three-player version of Landlord. Because the twins were not smart enough, they chose to merge into one.

Jiang Ning held the tablet and sat on the edge of the bed to play games and watch the battle.

At this moment, the game has reached the final stage. As the landlords, the twins have only three cards left in their hands, a 6 and a pair of queens.

As farmers, Xue Yuantong and Bai Yuxia each had only one card left in their hands.

Chen Siyu held three cards, and now it was her turn to play.

She observed the two of them vigilantly, while her sister Chen Siqing stood aside to prepare for her.

Xue Yuantong gave Bai Yuxia a look, indicating that the situation was not good, and she wrote down all the cards that had been played.

So, she calculated the cards in the hands of several people present.

Her remaining card is K, and Bai Yuxia is 7.

The landlord Chen Siyu played first and had a pair in his hand... Xue Yuantong was bound to lose in this round.

Bai Yuxia remained calm in the face of danger and gave Xue Yuantong a reassuring look.

Chen Siyu continued to stare at the two of them solemnly. She had lost 7 of the 8 games she played before, and the reason why she won one was because she was so lucky that she played out all her cards at once.

Xue Yuantong urged: "Let's do it quickly!"

Chen Siyu didn't wait for her sister's reaction and threw out a single card: "Little 6!"

Bai Yuxia: "What a coincidence, my little one is 7."

She played her last card and won the game.

Chen Siyu: "Ah?"

Chen Siqing accused: "Sister, you know they only have one card, why don't you play a pair?"

Chen Siyu blamed it: "Didn't you see that I was thinking for half a minute? Since you know this truth, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Sister Chen Siqing hated him for not fighting, "I thought you were enjoying the joy before victory."

Chen Siyu: “…”

Chen Siqing is really disappointed. My sister is such a fool. What should I do in the future?

You will definitely be deceived!

In this case, as a sister, no matter what happens in the future, I should help her and support her.

…

After playing cards, Xue Yuantong opened the window and saw that the outside was filled with moisture.

There was a loud thunder, and the clouds and lightning suddenly lit up, illuminating a large area of ​​the gloomy sky, just like the end of the world.

She was so frightened that she quickly closed the window.

"Sister, sister, it's so scary!" Chen Siyu trembled, it was so scary outside.

Xue Yuantong picked up her mobile phone and quietly turned off the Internet, because she heard that connecting to the Internet during thunderstorms is prone to being struck by lightning.

When she was a child, every time there was a thunderstorm, she would immediately unplug the TV at home.

Compared with the extreme weather outside, Chen Siyu felt that the room was particularly warm. She happily picked up the pistachios on the plate and enjoyed them beautifully.

Xue Yuantong specially prepared a lot of snacks for the guests at home, and even gave her the birthday gift she received, which was really a sumptuous gift.

Several people gathered around a platter of snacks and watched the bright lightning outside the window.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to take out the script and let them play with it, but they started chatting instead.

We chatted about our experiences during the summer vacation, beautiful clothes, jade pendants, and new classmates after school started. We chatted and chatted, as if there were endless things to say.

Although they communicate online, this kind of communication at home, face to face, and with timely feedback is indeed very comfortable.

Jiang Ning was brushing the tablet, occasionally joining in and adding a few words.

The topic changed again and again. Xue Yuantong talked about what she had seen at the train station, saying that some train stations had set up doll machines in order to make money. Fortunately, she had Jiang Ning around and grabbed the dolls hard.

As she spoke, she opened the closet and showed off half a closet filled with colorful bears, rabbits, puppies, kittens... dolls:

"Look, they are all my trophies and they didn't cost much!"

The twins and Bai Yuxia were very envious. The claw machine was a very magical machine. Although the dolls inside were not particularly pretty, if they asked if they wanted it, of course they would.

Chen Siqing was quick-thinking and thought to herself that next time she invited Jiang Ning out to get them dolls, it would be best to ask Jiang Ning to get them a pair of twin dolls.

In contrast, her younger sister Chen Siyu is more inclined to support herself. She said that she bought a dart board at home and played with the darts when she had nothing to do.

Later, when we went to the street, we played darts and hit balloons, and the boss who won burst into tears.

Xue Yuantong felt that darts were too difficult, and slingshots were more fun.

Chen Siyu said to herself that her accuracy was greatly improved now, and she could hit wherever she pointed.

Bai Yuxia said: "I heard that people with superb slingshot skills can open bottle caps."

Pretending, she drank the last sip of mineral water.

As if by magic, Jiang Ning took out a slingshot and brought a few yellow soft rubber bullets, which had almost no lethality.

Xue Yuantong took the slingshot and volunteered, "I'll do it!"

She had seen Jiang Ning playing with a slingshot and felt that her skills should be strong enough.

Xue Yuantong's room is quite large, with two beds and a small desk, and there is still a little extra space.

Bai Yuxia moved a small stool and placed it behind the door. Then she unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and gently covered the mouth of the bottle.

Xue Yuantong: "Watch it!"

She pulled up the rubber band and fired a shot, hitting the bench.

Seeing Tongtong's failure, Chen Siyu geared up, "It's my turn!"

She felt that she was in particularly good condition today, "Please take a good look at what technology is."

Xue Yuantong handed over the slingshot in frustration.

Chen Siyu murmured in her heart that she was not as good at studying as Tong Tong, and her cooking was not as delicious as Tong Tong's, but when it came to shooting, that was what she was good at!

It's time for Yu Xia, Tong Tong, and Jiang Ning to look at each other with admiration.

Chen Siyu held the slingshot, closed her left eye, and aimed at the water bottle.

Chen Siqing chose to believe in her sister, "She can definitely do it."

Seeing that she still wanted to speak, Chen Siyu made a gesture, very expertly.

Suddenly, the whole place was quiet, except for the slight breathing of everyone.

The atmosphere reached a climax.

Chen Siyu loaded the soft rubber bullet, pulled the rubber band, and aimed at the bottle cap.

One pull, one release.

The rubber band hit Chen Siyu's hand with a "pop" sound.

She grinned in pain and threw the slingshot away. The wooden slingshot flew behind the door and knocked over the bottle.

Xue Yuantong laughed: "Giggle."

Bai Yuxia commented: "Very accurate."

…

During the night, the heavy rain continued to rage.

At three o'clock in the morning, there was a chaos outside.

Jiang Ning slept alone in his room. Next door, Xue Yuantong and Chen Siqing slept on the bed, while Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu made the floor.

This was my first time sleeping on the floor, and no one disliked it. On the contrary, I really liked the experience.

Jiang Ning's consciousness came around, and even though it was early in the morning, the neighbors were standing at the door of the bungalow.

Uncle Tang turned on the light at the door of his house, and the bright light shone out. The flat land outside was full of water, like an endless lake, and the big black trees in the distance seemed to grow in the water.

Fortunately, the bungalow is located on a high ground and water cannot enter. Otherwise, we would have to use a basin to pour water outside.

"Dear me, it's raining hard enough!" Uncle Tang sighed.
