Pray for rain

Xie Wei sighed: "The people in the city seem to be fascinated by ghosts. No one told us whose family the Taoist priest chose. Now we can only call a few people with good skills and rescue them before the sacrifice that day."

Regardless of whether those people's martial arts are good or not, as long as Pei Yu is present, it is impossible for the Taoist priest to succeed.Pei Yu softly comforted Xie Wei and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Xie Wei had someone keep an eye on him beside the Taoist's house early on, making sure to stop the children.

The winter sun is shining brightly this day, but it is still so cold that people dare not breathe, as if taking in a breath of cold air will freeze all internal organs.Before going out, Pei Yu even added a cloak to Xie Wei, wrapping him tightly so that he was at ease.

In the past few days, let alone the Taoist priest, no one has ever entered Xie Yuan's courtyard except for Madam Wen, so Xie Wei breathed a sigh of relief.The Taoist priest had already informed the people in the city that the sacrifices and praying for rain would only begin at Youshi.Xie Wei followed the people to the outside of the city early, waiting for the news.

I saw that the Taoist priest was already standing in front of the altar made of many dry firewood, holding a whisk, he looked quite fairy-like, no wonder the people believed in his words so much.

The common people had already knelt down on the ground, while Xie Wei and Pei Yu frowned as they watched the obsessive expressions on their faces.

The person Xie Wei sent finally came back, and said to Xie Wei with a troubled expression on his face: "My lord, we stopped him, but..."

Xie Wei's mood rose and fell like a rising tide: "Just what?"

At this time, the originally sunny weather suddenly turned dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and the deafening thunder made the kneeling people tremble with fear.

The Taoist suddenly walked up to Xie Wei and said, "It's just that they are already a few corpses."

The sound of thunder exploded again, and Xie Wei's heart skipped a beat. He held Pei Xuan's hand tightly, as if looking for a support.

The Taoist said with a smile: "Mr. Xie really thought that I would not make plans in advance? I never thought of killing those children in front of the people. These dry firewood are just prepared for the corpses of those children. Since the corpses have been Being taken away by you, these things must be useless."

A drop of rainwater splashed on the top of Xie Wei's hair, and it was bitingly cold, followed by a torrential downpour.Everyone under the altar was jubilant, only Xie Wei and Pei Yu had serious expressions.

The Taoist sighed: "The parents of several children are in the crowd, they don't care, why does Mr. Xie stop me again and again?"

Feeling that Xie Wei's hands were trembling, Pei Zhen took him and turned around to leave, but the Taoist priest shouted: "Young Master Xie, the next one is your sister, this time she won't let her escape again."

After returning to Xie's mansion, the butler greeted him in a panic, and asked, "Young master, what happened to the corpse in the yard?"

Xie Wei walked into the yard and looked at several corpses covered in white cloth. The oldest child seemed to be no more than four feet tall.He didn't dare to look any further, and said shyly, "Bury these children properly..."

Looking at his seemingly calm appearance at the moment, Pei Yu couldn't let it go.After returning to the room, Pei Yu looked into Xie Wei's dazed eyes and said, "Brother Xie, I have some important things to deal with now, just wait for me."

Xie Wei sat on the bed as if powerless, did not hear what he was saying at all, and just nodded reluctantly.

Pei Yu's message to Geng Ze never received a reply, so he immediately went back to the heaven to look for Geng Ze.Apart from him, only Geng Ze can do such a heavy rain in the human world in winter.

However, he searched all over the heavens but couldn't find it, and was called away by the people sent by Tianjun on the way.

Seeing Pei Yu, Tianjun frowned and said, "What's going on in the northwest of the human world? Why is there suddenly thunder and lightning?"

Pei Xuan replied, "I'm investigating."

Tianjun has a lot of affairs at hand, since he heard that he was investigating, he nodded and let him go.

When he left Tianjun Palace, Pei Yu received the news from Geng Ze.Geng Ze is currently in Jiangnan, no matter how powerful he is, he can't control the rain in Mobei.Pei Yu felt faintly uneasy in her heart, and always felt that this matter might be of great importance, but she couldn't think of anyone who had such a great ability.

It was late at night when Pei Yu returned to Xie's mansion, and the lights in Xie Wei's room were not turned on.Pei Xuan walked into the room, only to find that Xie Wei was sitting motionless by the bed.He walked over to hold Xie Wei's face in his hands, and said, "Brother Xie, I can't blame you for this matter, don't blame yourself."

Xie Wei took a long time to come back to his senses, closed his eyes and said, "I don't blame anyone, I'm too conceited, I thought I would be able to save those children."

It was Pei Yu who was conceited. He thought that as long as he was there, he would be safe, but who knew that Taoist priest had already cut out the hearts of several children.He leaned against Xie Wei's back, suddenly feeling a little sore.

The short lives of mortals are like mayflies in the eyes of these gods, living and dying.But these children, whose life had just begun, died in an inexplicable sacrifice for no apparent reason.

He suddenly heard Xie Wei's choked up voice: "Why does it rain so much in winter? Is this... really the lives of those children in exchange for it?"

Pei Xuan raised his head and saw that Xie Wei was already in tears. He stared at Xie Wei's red eyes and said solemnly: "No, there will never be any gods in this world who would charge such a precious price from mortals."

Xie Wei's tears rolled out of his eyes continuously, and he regretfully said: "It's my fault, if I killed that Taoist priest, these things wouldn't happen."

Pei Yu said with difficulty: "Killing him won't help, he's just a puppet."

At this time, Xie Wei had no intention of thinking about the flaws in Pei Yu's words. His whole body seemed to be overwhelmed by regret and guilt, making him crumbling.

He grabbed Pei Xuan's skirt, tears rolled down Pei Zhen's face.

When Pei Yu heard Xie Wei say something softly, she shook her head, but Xie Wei resolutely kissed his lips.

It was so painful, when Pei Yu entered him, Xie Wei seemed to be in pain along with his internal organs.With a slight movement of Pei Yu, he held Pei Yu's shoulder tightly, his face pale with pain.Reluctantly, Pei Yu turned him over and kissed the corners of his reddened eyes tenderly.

All of this was too inappropriate, but at this moment he just wanted to vent.

"Pei Yu..."

"I'm here."

But after a while, the rain stopped, and Pei Yu hugged Xie Wei into his arms, stroking his sweaty back.The pain made Xie Wei temporarily forget everything, and fell asleep in Pei Yu's arms.

When Xie Wei opened his eyes the next day, he looked at Pei Yu who had obviously been awake for a long time, and asked hoarsely, "Where's Yuan Yuan?"

Pei Yu brought a cup of tea: "In her room, Nanny Wen is with her."

Xie Wei drank the cup of tea in one gulp, dressed neatly, then called the butler, and asked, "Can the letter still be mailed now?"

Seeing the housekeeper's distressed face, Xie Wei said calmly: "Go and call some loyal servants in the mansion, and each of them will take a letter, and you must send it to father."

The steward called a total of six people, and each of them brought a letter, all of which were ordinary family letters, never mentioning what happened in Yicheng, only a seal of Xie's family that was difficult for outsiders to discern.

Xie Wei told the six people: "If you can see your lord, show him this letter. Then tell your lord everything that happened in Yicheng, and ask your lord to report to the emperor and send people to clean up Yicheng."

After the six people understood it, they immediately set off to Hanjiang to look for Taiwei Xie, but they were stopped by four of them when they left the city.After Xie Wei learned about it, he was glad that two of them had gone out, and he only hoped that they could reach Hanjiang smoothly.

After giving this order, Xie Wei ordered Nanny Wen to set up a desk and a simple bed in the outer room of Xie Yuan's boudoir. middle.Although there was no change for several days, Xie Wei and Pei Yu still did not dare to take it lightly.

Four days later, the fundus of Xie Wei's eyes showed a faint blue color.Pei Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll watch over you."

Seeing that he was still very energetic, Xie Wei leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.But after an hour, a priest suddenly walked up to Pei Yu, saw Xie Wei sleeping soundly on his shoulder, even though he had many guesses in his heart, he restrained his expression, bowed and said: "Emperor, Heavenly Lord, please. "

What's the matter with Tianjun, Pei Yu was restless and said softly: "You go first, I will come later."

After the god left, a moment later, Pei Zhen woke up Xie Wei and said, "Brother Xie, I have something to do, I'll be back soon."

Xie Wei nodded calmly and said, "Go."

Pei Yu hurried back to the heaven, and saw all the immortals gathered together, even Yisuan Xingjun, who only heard about him and never met him on weekdays, was there.Pei Yu stepped forward and saw Tianjun kneading his forehead with his eyes closed.

Standing beside Yi Suan Xingjun, Pei Yu asked, "What happened?"

Yisuan Xingjun sneered: "You ask me? How would I know."

Zhenjun Yisheng walked in from the gate of the palace, and Tianjun asked, "Have you found it?"

Seeing Yisheng Zhenjun shook his head, Tianjun's expression sank, and he asked him to step aside, and then asked: "I called all the immortals here today to ask, has anyone seen the God of Drought in recent years?"

Presumably Tianjun wanted Yisheng Zhenjun to find the God of Drought, and the God of Drought has always lived in seclusion, why Tianjun suddenly wanted to find her.When all the immortals were discussing, Tianjun said again: "I summoned the God of Drought a few days ago, but her cave has not been lived in for five years."

All the immortals said that they had never seen the God of Drought, and some of them who had just ascended for less than a hundred years did not even know whether the God of Drought was male or female.On the other hand, Pei Yu, who was at the side, heard Tianjun say that the Drought God had been missing for more than five years, and his complexion suddenly became very ugly.

I only heard Tianjun ask: "Since this is the case, does Cang Lin know that there is any severe drought in the human world?"

The God of Drought cannot live in the human world. Wherever the God of Drought lives, there will be severe drought for many years.But today's Drought God loves the human world the most, so Tianjun has already established a rule with the Drought God, as long as she doesn't care about the human world, everything that is not related to creatures will follow her.Unexpectedly, after ten thousand years have passed safely, the drought god quietly left the heaven.

Pei Yu said calmly: "There is such a place, which has been droughted for many years. It's just that Geng Ze has already found out that the monster is responsible, and has killed the monster."

Tianjun raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? Then send Geng Ze to ask."

In Xie's mansion, shortly after Pei Yu left, Xie Wei put his elbows on the desk and supported his heavy head.Suddenly someone tugged on Xie Wei's sleeve, Xie Wei looked up, it was Xie Yuan holding the wood carving.Xie Wei froze, and said, "...Yuan Yuan?"

Xie Yuan forced a smile at him: "Brother."

Many days have passed since Xie Yuan was robbed, every day I heard that Nanny would coax Xie Yuan to take medicine, it seems that it is finally effective now.Xie Wei had a sore nose, and said in a warm voice, "Yuan Yuan woke up from a nap, are you hungry?"

Xie Yuan shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

Seeing the fear still in her eyes, Xie Wei held her hand and asked, "Don't be afraid, Yuanyuan, what do you want to say?"
