"Why is there flooding again up ahead? The whole road is soaked," the taxi driver complained.
"Can we wade through?" Ji Yun asked.
"Going through should be no problem, it's just that on the way back this road might be impassable," the taxi driver said.
"Driver, is this your payment code? I've sent you a red envelope with two hundred yuan," Ji Yun said.
The taxi driver seemed to be immediately invigorated, stepping on the gas pedal hard.
Ji Yun looked around and saw that the heavy rain had caused the low-lying suburban areas of Lan City to be mostly submerged.
As the car drove past the highway, Ji Yun also saw a large area of vegetable fields, with the heads of the cabbages no longer visible.
Indeed, as the driver had said, driving there now was fine, but if the rain continued to pour like this, returning would be quite problematic.
Back on the main road, the path cleared up, and the taxi driver kept accelerating, becoming a lone race car driver amidst the pouring rain!
