The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"Let's deal with the drought problem we're facing first!"

Hua Ye gently patted Xu Zhi's back as she stood upright, conveyed his intention to her to get off the ground, and then continued to preach.

"After we get through the next two months, I'll see him and then we can discuss how to deal with this..."

Xuzhi slowly relaxed his hands that were originally tightly supporting Hua Ye's thighs, and followed her movements to slide down her back until she stood still on the ground.

"Okay, then let's first find a place that can shelter us from the wind and rain and where we can observe the changes in the celestial phenomena as a place to cast the spell to pray for rain!"

As Xu Zhi spoke, he waved his wide sleeves and rolled up the cuffs to his elbows. Then he let his hands hang down at both sides of his body. He seemed calm and unhurried, but in fact he was a little panicked inside as he walked forward.

When her warm chest pressed against his back, the obvious desire in his eyes had already filled his entire cold eyes.

"Master, please wait for me!"

Hua Ye shouted anxiously, following him closely, like a naughty little girl desperately chasing the young man she liked.

Xu said nothing, but just walked forward with light and graceful steps.

He closed his eyes tightly, as if trying to hide the strong desire in his heart, but even so, this desire disappeared from his eyes at an astonishing speed.

"I've heard there's a mysterious cave hidden on Canglang Mountain in Qicheng. It's a rare Feng Shui treasure land! Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Qicheng and take in its entirety."

Hua Ye said excitedly, while not forgetting to tidy up his slightly messy clothes, then quickened his pace, quickly caught up with Xu Zhi and walked side by side with him.

"Master, the altar is set up in Canglang Mountain, right?"

"Yer, you can make the arrangements!"

Xuzhi lowered his head and spoke softly. He didn't even dare to look up and look into her eyes, as if as long as he looked into her eyes, his suppressed desire would be rekindled.

So he just kept walking forward with his head slightly lowered, and his steps seemed a little flustered and hurried.

"Then we have to leave the city gate, Master..."

Her clear and pleasant voice came from behind, but at this moment it was as harsh as thunder to Xu Zhi.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, realizing he was going in the wrong direction. Xu Zhi turned around awkwardly, looking at the heroic woman in front of him with a wry smile on his face.

"Let's go buy some food first, so that no one can make a scene because they don't have enough food..."

Xuzhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then he adjusted his pace and walked towards the shops in the city.

The sunlight cast long shadows on them. They walked side by side in silence, no one speaking, and the atmosphere seemed particularly awkward.

The two of them walked hurriedly yet leisurely to a rice shop. Suddenly, Hua Ye had an idea in her mind. She stepped into the shop without hesitation and swung her arms violently.

"Boss, how many loads of rice do you have left in your store? I'll buy them all..."

Hearing such grand and generous words, the rice shop owner, wearing a robe made of brown-red brocade with flower, bird and fish patterns, his long gray hair on both temples was tied into a crown with top-grade Hetian white jade and stood high on his head, then he slowly walked out from the inner room and greeted the distinguished guest with a smile on his face.

"Sir, do you really want to buy all the grain in our Luoji Rice Shop? It's over ten thousand dan! And the price of rice is really high nowadays!"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cunning light, like a tiger with a smile but a knife hidden in its heart, and he was carefully observing the wealthy man in front of him who was covered in jewels.

"That's fine, take as much as you can! Don't worry about the money. However, if you want to buy it all at once, you must give me a discount on the price..."

As Hua Ye spoke, he took out six heavy, golden gold ingots from his arms and slammed them on the slightly old table in the rice shop without hesitation.

As the crisp sound rang out, the rice shop, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly became silent.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the ingots of golden gold and the generous woman.

And the rice shop owner was an old man whose eyes became increasingly cloudy with the passage of time.

At this moment, his eyes, which had originally seemed narrow due to old age, widened.

A shrewd and sharp light suddenly flashed in the originally dull pupils, as if some rare treasure had been discovered.

He stared at the gold ingots, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an expression of greed that was hard to conceal.
