Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl
Chapter 73: Praying for Rain Successfully
The rain, like the water of the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, rushed towards the earth without reservation. The big raindrops hit the ground, splashing water and making crackling sounds.
Shen Li stood high up and could clearly hear the people below shouting in excitement, "It's raining! It's really raining! Thank you, fairy boy, for the rain! Thank you, fairy boy, for the rain!"
The voice was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster, gratitude for the gift from heaven, and gratitude to Shen Li, the fairy boy!
They completely ignored the fact that their bodies were soaked by the rain and just danced happily in the rain, as if this rain was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen in their lives.
Shen Li slowly raised her head and looked at the pouring rain in front of her that was like a huge curtain.
The rain curtain was like a water curtain connecting the sky and the earth, blocking her sight tightly.
She gently closed her eyes and let the raindrops hit her face and body. The cold touch shocked her heart.
In modern times, when there is a lack of rain, there are various high-tech means to intervene in the weather, and people can use the power of science to control the possibility of rainfall.
However, in this world, these simple farmers can only pin their hopes on God. They rely on God's grace to give their crops a chance of survival and to harvest the food they depend on for survival.
Suddenly, the cold feeling of raindrops hitting my body disappeared.
Shen Li opened her eyes in surprise, and what came into her sight was an exquisite umbrella, and the person holding the umbrella was Bai Jin.
He just stood quietly beside Shen Li, like a touch of tranquility in the rain.
Shen Li's eyes flashed with a hint of mischief. She tilted her head and asked with sparkling eyes, "Master Bai actually prepared an umbrella. It seems that he is very confident in my prayer for rain today!"
Bai Jin's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He said to Shen Li: "What can I do if I don't believe it? In order to help you prepare such a big battle, I can only deceive myself and make myself believe that you will succeed."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops falling from the sky, watching the rain gather into a small puddle in his palm, and then slowly flow out through his fingers, like the passing of time.
Then, he put the umbrella in his hand into Shen Li's hand, and bowed to Shen Li with a sincere face. The action was solemn and full of respect. He said slowly: "As the county magistrate of Qingshan County, I would like to thank you today on behalf of the people of this county...!"
Shen Li took the umbrella and held it over Bai Jin's head. She smiled and said to Bai Jin, "The range of this rain-making talisman isn't particularly large. Fortunately, we've already chosen a place with a reservoir that can store water to use it."
"But," she suddenly changed her tone, a hint of cunning in her eyes, "I only have five rain-praying talismans at the moment, so you have to protect me well!"
In just a moment, Bai Jin understood the deep meaning of her words.
His expression grew serious, and he said, "I've already written a memorial in advance, placing all my hopes on you! If your prayer for rain fails today, I'll be committing the grave crime of deceiving the emperor, and I'll lose my head!"
His voice was low, but it was firm. Then, his eyes softened and he said softly, "Don't worry about anyone trying to harm you. Tomorrow I'll take you to another place to continue making rain.
Moreover, I have already explained your situation in the memorial, and I believe the Emperor will understand."
At this point, he frowned slightly and asked, "But what is your master's name? The emperor might send someone to look for this old immortal."
Shen Li's heart suddenly jumped with a panic in her eyes. She said hurriedly, "This is unacceptable! When Master left, he told me not to look for him. If I reveal his information, he will definitely expel me from the sect!"
Shen Li secretly groaned in her heart, where can she find an old immortal?
You know, the so-called old immortal is just a character made up by my father and I.
At this point, Shen Li also understood that this matter had to be resolved sooner or later, just like a bomb hidden in the dark, which would explode sooner or later.
Just at this moment, Shen Shaodong slowly walked over holding an oil-paper umbrella.
His steps were steady and light, as if each step carried a unique rhythm.
After walking in front of Shen Li, he first handed the other umbrella in his hand to Shen Li, and then carefully took Bai Jin's umbrella from Shen Li's hand and returned it to its original owner.
Then, Shen Shaodong bowed respectfully with a very humble attitude.
He chose his words carefully and said, "My Lord, my wife has prepared the meal carefully.
Although what was prepared was just some simple food and not worthy of being called a fine meal, the friendship contained in it was extremely sincere.
If you don't mind, I sincerely ask you to condescend to come to my humble home so that my family can have the honor of sharing this simple meal with you."
Bai Jin lowered his head, his gaze fixed on the umbrella in his palm. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, drawing a shallow arc. He said slowly, "Brother Shen's warm invitation and sincere words are like a spring breeze, which is hard to refuse. I will gladly accept the invitation."
When Shen Li heard this, she was speechless for a moment, and silently complained in her heart: Dad has been in this ancient time for a long time, and his speech has become so flowery, all these sets of words really sound like the real thing!
But luckily, Daddy came to the rescue! It seems that this Master issue has been dealt with for the time being!
