The days of continuous rain not only destroyed the crops but also flooded the town's streets. This rainstorm was completely beyond Old Li's expectations, and beyond everyone's expectations, the hope of a bountiful harvest was shattered, and everyone fell into deep despair. Old Li couldn't understand it. He carefully reviewed his past prediction methods but couldn't find any mistakes. This rainstorm, like an unsolvable puzzle, brought unprecedented disaster to the town.
