After a moment's thought, Chen Jinyuan understood the cause and effect. It was because water was too precious in this village. On this drought day, even a drop of water could save a life.
"Mr. Chen, don't be offended! The village is short of water, but I'm neglecting you all!" Seeing Chen Jinyuan holding the tea but refusing to drink it, the old village chief obviously knew that the tea was not clean.
Chen Jinyuan smiled brightly, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip, "The village chief is surprised, this tea is very good!"
Seeing Chen Jinyuan drink it, Lin Yilian and the others had to hold back their nausea and took a sip.
Chen Jinyuan paused for a while, then changed the subject and expressed his doubts, "Village Chief, it has been so long since it rained today. Why is it so dry?"
"Yes, I remember that the land of Zhongzhou was prosperous and rich, shouldn't it be like this?" Lin Yilian also had a face full of doubts.
The village chief sighed and replied, "Yes, half a month ago, our place was still full of birds and flowers, and prosperous. No one expected that it would be like this now!"
"Half a month?"
Everyone was stunned, how could the drought be like this in half a month? You are not joking, right? Half a year is almost half a year.
The village chief said, "Yes, half a month ago, to be precise, it should be twelve days ago, high temperature and severe drought swept across hundreds of miles, and there was no rain in the sky for more than ten consecutive days. It only lasted three days.
The originally lush green land has turned into yellow sand, the trees have been sun-dried, the crops have been sun-dried, the ground has been sun-dried, and the rivers have dried up. If there was not some water in an old well in the village, we in this village would probably have died of thirst!"
Chen Jinyuan and others were stunned when they heard this. They had never heard of a drought that could strike so quickly and violently. It could only be described as strange.
Laifu said: "Old man, I said you must have done something outrageous and made God angry. Can you punish me?"
Hearing this, the village chief's face suddenly burst into tears. "I also want to know what we have done to apologize to God, so that God will treat us like this, but we are just ordinary people who have always been honest and responsible.
Did you do something unethical?"
The village chief's words silenced everyone. He was right. What could a few ordinary people and honest farmers do to harm God and cause God to send such a huge punishment?
The sky no longer has eyes.
Chen Jinyuan vaguely felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't know what was strange. After all, natural disasters cannot be prevented by human power.
"Mr. Chen, you have great powers, please help my villagers! If this continues, the whole village will die of thirst!" As the village chief said, he knelt down in front of Chen Jinyuan. He had seen a lot.
Guang, knowing that Chen Jinyuan was a man of great ability, had no choice but to ask for help for the lives of the whole village.
Chen Jinyuan helped Li Fa up and said, "Old village chief, don't get excited. There is nothing we can do about this disaster brought by God!"
"Ah?" The old village chief burst into tears instantly. There was deep despair in his eyes.
"Brother Chen!" Man Ling'er gently pulled Chen Jinyuan's clothes and stopped talking. This girl is the most soft-hearted. She really couldn't bear to see the old village chief shed tears.
"Alas!" Chen Jinyuan looked around. Lin Yilian also had a face full of unbearability. Chen Jinyuan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Old village chief, don't be sad. People always come up with solutions. Let's think about it slowly. There will always be a solution.
There’s a way!”
The old village chief stood up, his nose bursting with tears, which was really sad to see.
Drought relief was urgent. After a while, Chen Jinyuan left the village chief's house and found a high ground.
When the villagers saw the old village chief following Chen Jinyuan out, they all followed him out of curiosity, not knowing what this new weirdo wanted.
"Village Chief, what is he going to do?" There was a stooped old man next to him, who looked older than the old village chief. He was coughing while talking, as if he might die at any time.
The old village chief looked up at Chen Jinyuan who was standing on the high ground, frowned and said, "Mr. Chen said he asked for a rain!"
"Please rain?"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, many people heard it and started whispering for a while. The incredible magical power Chen Jinyuan had just used when putting out the fire made them all believe that Chen Jinyuan was a person with great power, so after hearing Chen Jinyuan's request
When it rained, not many people doubted Chen Jinyuan's strength, and almost everyone's eyes were full of expectations.
Chen Jinyuan stood proudly on the high ground and looked up at the sky. There were no clouds in the sky. There was only a basin-like sun hanging in the sky, and the vicious sunlight burned the earth mercilessly.
Looking down at the sweaty and expectant expressions of the villagers in the highlands and underground, Chen Jinyuan felt for the first time that he had no confidence in his golden words. There was a severe drought, and he asked God for help with rain. Will God help?
"God, let it rain heavily!"
Unable to wait any longer, Chen Jinyuan took a deep breath and immediately used the magic of jade words to pray for heavy rain to alleviate the drought.
There was no dancing, no incense or paper, no kowtow, just a simple word.
A group of villagers opened their mouths wide, put their hands on the arbor, and looked expectantly at the scorching sky.
"It's useless?"
A moment after the words fell, the space visibly trembled, but no rain came. Chen Jinyuan couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
"Ah, the wind is blowing!" I don't know who it was, but suddenly shouted excitedly.
"It's really windy!" Everyone was shocked. The old village chief sensed it, and sure enough, there was a cool breeze, which made people feel refreshed under the scorching sun.
Looking up, under the blue sky on the horizon, dark clouds were gathering quickly towards us. At this moment, everyone's eyes were full of surprises.
"God, please let it rain!" The villagers were unspeakably excited. Everyone, including the village chief, knelt on the ground and prayed to God for rain.
"Boom!"
The sky darkened, and the scorching sun was blocked by the clouds. A strong wind blew up, blowing yellow sand all over the sky. There were bursts of thunder from the clouds, which combined with the cries of the villagers on the ground were so shocking that Chen Jinyuan couldn't help but smile.
A hint of joy bloomed.
"It's raining, it's raining, God it's raining!"
The first raindrop hit his face, and a villager touched his face and let out a cry of surprise, followed by the second and third drops, and the heavy rain came in an instant.
Everyone cheered, the rain poured down, and everyone was soaked in a flash. Everyone stood up from the ground, cheered in the heavy rain, held hands and danced, there is nothing better than cheering and dancing.
It can better express their happy mood. (To be continued...)
