(23) The prank of the whirlwind

The annual summer vacation is here again. At home, my mother can't help but be at the top and can't sleep even if she is lazy. It's too unfree, so Ling Xiaowen proposed to stay at her grandmother's house for a few days. Her parents agreed.

In fact, his real purpose in going to his grandmother's house was to retaliate against the evil dragon, and even to cramp and peel it like the mythical scolding.

My grandmother’s house is in a remote mountain village by the sea. There is a vast sky, mountains and water, beautiful scenery, birds singing and flowers blooming, and the friends are mellow, so it’s exciting to play!

The small mountain village is called Longqiling, and it is named after the Giant Dragon Mountain next to the sea. Grandma said that it was originally a naughty little green dragon. After being suppressed by immortals, she lay here. She usually looks like a student who abides by rules and regulations, honest, but her nature is hard to change. When she has the chance, she will be attached to a hurricane, wandering around, and being naughty.

The bad dragon is extremely naughty and cannot move his body, so he shook his tail and struggled. He shook lightly, strong winds; he shook heavyly, and the sea blew evil waves; he shook randomly, and tornadoes... It has been suppressed for too long, and whenever he has the chance, he will think about playing.

It often comes quietly, twisting its slender waist, walking around the east and west, looking south and north, teasing the willows and green skirts flying, making the petals dance in the air, and the grass also bent down and lifted their hands to do exercises. It is rare to do good things, "sweep" the ground in front of the house, and even joke with the children, snatching the silk scarf around the girl's neck and throwing it on the treetops, or grab the hat on the boy's head and make fun of it, as a flying saucer.

It likes to play tricks, lifts the goose swimming in the stream and throws it onto the roof like fishing; it goes to chase the big rooster, and when it passes by, it pulls out half of its feathers, becoming a "yin and yang chicken", which makes it so shocking that it screams and pounces, making people laugh... After having fun, it is silently swinging its long braids and drifts away, which also brings you a little bit of surprise and fear.

However, it plays very well, either pulling out the telephone poles, sweeping the crops and fields, or even lifting the car and destroying the house and causing a murder.

Ling Xiaowen believed the words of grandma before, but now he doesn't. He knew that the whirlwind had nothing to do with the "Little Green Dragon" and was related to the geographical location here. There is a place called "Tornado Alley" in the United States. It whirlwinds are blowing almost every year, and they are extremely powerful, and everywhere they go, they are filled with sadness. Fortunately, most of the tornados here are considered "little naughty boys", and it is rare to be unscrupulously "crazy", but by chance, Ling Xiaowen encountered it.

One evening during the summer vacation that year, Ling Xiaowen was lying on the dinner table to do homework.

It suddenly started to rain heavily outside.

Grandma, who had been back from farming, ran to the door in a panic look and shouted: "Xiaowen, it's not good, the tornado is coming! Follow me to the 'wind-lood' outside to hide!" After that, she hurriedly left first.

There are often tornadoes here, so the villagers dug long, deep dry ditches in the open area around the village, which are considered as an emergency "wind shelter".

Xiaowen's arithmetic problem is about to be completed, and I want to write the answer before leaving.

The meaning of "time is gold" has been truly interpreted at this moment.

When Xiaowen packed his schoolbag and ran out of the door, a tornado came towards him. A powerful airflow overturned him to the ground with a rush of force, and then the crazy "elephant nose" sucked him in. Xiaowen felt that the darkness in front of him was spinning, and then he lost consciousness. The pencil he was holding in his hand was forcibly "snatched" away and threw it onto a wall ten meters away, and it was as incredible as a steel nail.

"Boom! Crazy!" With a deafening loud noise, the demon sucked Xiaowen's grandmother's house and left proudly. However, its mischief made a cliff behind the village stand up to intercept it. Obviously, it was inferior to the giants, so it had to rush westward. An antique arch-shaped stone bridge on the river over there became its punching bag, which was "pulled" from the bridge pier, twisted into fragmented stones and fell into scattered pieces.

Perhaps it knew that committing a heinous crime would be pursued and arrested, and rushed to "perpetrate the crime" and fled.

The people hiding in the dry ditch then let out a long breath, but the fear was still gone, and the muscles on their faces were as stiff as heavy iron.

They were so scared that they were held in their stomachs for a long time that they finally opened a gate and flowed out of the cracks in a trembling manner:

"I have never encountered such a powerful tornado until I lived to be seventy years old."

"It's a once in a century, how can you meet it?"

"This dragon who killed thousands of swords has destroyed several families in our village. It's so hateful!"

"Ah! Do you still have time to gossip? Come home and have a look!"
