My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.
Chapter 389 Escape
As the strong winds and torrential rain continued to batter the temple, the walls could no longer withstand the ravages of the storm and collapsed with a loud crash.
The horses in the backyard let out a sharp neigh.
Lu Yinheng didn't care about anything else at this moment; he ran quickly towards Ji Yunshuang's room.
When resting at night, Ji Yunshuang went to the same room as before and entered the space under the cover of the room.
However, she noticed the strong wind outside and left the space immediately.
As soon as she stepped out of the space, Lu Yinheng burst in from outside. He brought with him a fierce storm.
The roof of the room was ripped off by the strong wind, and the walls were also torn to pieces.
Ji Yunshuang had just left the space when, caught off guard, she was nearly hit by a suddenly falling beam. Lu Yinheng flew over and caught her, narrowly avoiding the falling beam.
The two had just dodged the falling beam when an even stronger gust of wind followed. Lu Yinheng held Ji Yunshuang tightly in his arms, protecting her.
Sand, gravel, and wood chips were swept in by the gale, but Ji Yunshuang was protected in his arms and none of them landed on her.
All of this hit Lu Yinheng hard.
Ji Yunshuang was careless just now. Actually, now that she is prepared, she shouldn't be injured by these sand and wood chips.
But she couldn't remember the last time she had enjoyed such protection.
For a moment, she was somewhat captivated and didn't immediately break free from his embrace.
However, Ji Yunshuang quickly broke free from this warmth.
She calmly said, "I'm fine. This sand and stones won't hurt me. Go protect the other soldiers and lead them to a place to hide."
Lu Yinheng knew that her skills were no less than his own and that she was fully capable of handling such a storm.
Concern can lead to confusion.
When he sensed danger, she was the first person he thought of. When danger struck, he instinctively pulled her into his arms, not wanting her to suffer even the slightest harm.
At that moment, all he wanted to do was protect her.
He forgot that she knew kung fu; he simply instinctively protected her.
It wasn't until Ji Yunshuang's words that he was reminded.
Yes, she was not an ordinary woman, nor could she be regarded as one.
Even so, he did not immediately let go of her, but instead led her behind a stone wall to shelter from the wind.
Perhaps because it is the most important main hall, and it uses high-quality stone walls, the walls here were not blown down. Taking shelter under the walls can protect you from some of the wind.
However, the Taoist temple had not been repaired for too long, and the broken tiles on the roof were blown off by the strong wind.
This place is barely enough to shelter from the wind.
And this is only temporary.
After being constantly washed by wind and rain, it's unknown how long this stone wall can stand firm.
Lu Yinheng thought for a moment and said, "I remember there's a cellar in this Taoist temple. I'll go take a look. We'll figure out a way to hide in the cellar later."
They had roughly surveyed the layout of the Taoist temple when they came to take shelter from the rain. However, no one expected that a hurricane would rise that night, and the temple where they were taking shelter would be blown to pieces by the hurricane.
They hadn't paid much attention to that cellar before.
Ji Yunshuang said, "I'll go! You go and count the number of people, gather them together, and see if anyone is injured."
After weighing the options, Lu Yinheng decided that counting the number of soldiers outside was more dangerous than checking the cellar.
So he nodded and said, "Then be careful and stay safe."
Ji Yunshuang nodded slightly, and the two went their separate ways.
The Taoist temple's cellar was built in the back kitchen, and it was probably used to store vegetables for the temple's residents to eat during the winter.
However, since the Taoist temple had long been abandoned, the cellar had probably not been maintained for many years. Ji Yunshuang first used her mental power to control it and sense the situation inside.
That place had become a veritable nest for snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
There were countless poisonous insects and rats inside.
She was then asked to come over and use her telekinesis to observe the scene inside. Bringing the soldiers in rashly would only make matters worse…
She temporarily ignored the poisonous insects and rats inside and first observed the surrounding environment.
The Taoist temple building had been in disrepair for many years. The hurricane blew the building down, and the torrential rain quickly caused a lot of water to accumulate on the ground.
The floodwater rushed into the cellar, and if no measures were taken, the cellar would soon be filled with water.
After observing the surrounding terrain, Ji Yunshuang used tools to dig a drainage ditch on the spot. This would allow the water to drain downwards and prevent it from flooding the cellar.
After the drainage ditch was dug, they used the wooden planks on site to build a structure that could prevent rainwater from entering the cellar, and only then were they able to tidy up the little darling in the cellar.
She didn't lift a finger; she simply used her telekinesis to move everything away and added a few more items that they might need to the cellar.
With everything arranged, Lu Yinheng arrived with his soldiers.
The soldiers that Ji Yunshuang brought this time were all helpless, and none of them were injured in the storm.
It was just because it happened so suddenly, and at night.
In the ensuing chaos, some horses were startled and ran off somewhere. Several other horses were injured and appeared to be in serious condition.
These were all top-quality horses, and the soldiers were filled with remorse for injuring them due to their negligence.
Ji Yunshuang said, "Everyone, take your horses and go down to take shelter. Even if the horses are lost, they may still be found. We can find them when the wind calms down. The important thing is that everyone is safe and sound."
The soldiers orderly led their horses into the cellar, with Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng lagging behind.
After reinforcing the area that had previously been exposed for ventilation, the two then entered the cellar together.
This Taoist temple must have been quite magnificent before it was abandoned; the cellar was not small. It could certainly accommodate so many people and horses.
Although everyone had entered the cellar, they could still hear the sound of the hurricane outside.
And the heart-stopping sound of the heavy rain hitting the ground.
For a moment, everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
Lu Yinheng rubbed his temples, his heart filled with self-reproach.
Because many things in this life are different from those in his previous life, he doesn't often recall his past life to avoid making misjudgments based on those memories.
So much so that he forgot that in his previous life, a great disaster had occurred in Jingzhou. This disaster flooded countless homes and killed many people.
How could he forget something so important?
He should have made arrangements earlier.
"Who among you has a tinderbox? Open it and let me see."
Ji Yunshuang pretended to have discovered something by accident and pulled out a dusty box from the corner of the cellar.
“I have one.” A soldier took a tinderbox from his undergarments and blew on it.
A faint light appeared in the dark cellar.
Although the light was very faint, it was enough for everyone to see what was inside the box.
Everyone showed expressions of surprise and delight.
