Mu Yunniang didn't get the chance to seek Yi Meng's advice again because something happened in the village.
The torrential rain had been pouring for a whole day and night without showing any signs of stopping.
Most of the villagers, heeding Qi Quanjin's advice, had carefully checked their houses, so nothing major happened. They were just stuck in their rooms all day, feeling a bit restless.
However, a few households that didn't listen, even if they did some simple repairs when it first started raining, were still afraid of the heavy rain making it too slippery and causing injuries. So they never got around to checking and reinforcing the houses properly when the rain first started.
It only took a day and a night of downpour for some houses to start leaking.
Initially, the leaks were not severe, so they used basins to catch the water.
But from the second day, violent winds accompanied the heavy rain.
