Daoxu curled his lips and said nothing when he heard this, and Daohe also rolled up his sleeves to help.
After they were all done, the three Man Bao officially met Dao He's three junior brothers and sisters. It was just a one-sided acquaintance, because whether they were three years old or wrapped in swaddling clothes and couldn't even kick their legs, they all knew each other.
Turning a blind eye to the three of them, one hid behind Taoist Priest Shoushi and the other played with bubbles by himself.
The five of them went out, and Daoxu curled his lips and said, "Uncle is lying. Except for the third junior brother who was placed at the door of the Taoist temple, the fourth junior brother and the little junior sister were all picked up by us on the way back from doing the ritual."
Bai Shan asked, "What's their problem?"
Daoxu: "Third junior brother can't speak. He can't speak even after he's over three years old. Master and the old doctor at the mountain have seen it. I'm afraid it's from birth. He can't make any sound. He can only shed tears when he cries. No.
It will be called."
Dao He said: "He was quite clean when he was sent here, and his family background should be decent. Originally, Uncle Shoucai wanted to send him back, but the master said that if he was sent back in this condition, his life would probably not be as good as before.
It's in our Taoist temple, so I stayed."
He glanced into the room and said: "The fourth junior brother was much weaker when he was sent here, and I don't know if he can grow up. As for the little junior sister, there is nothing wrong with her, she was just born a girl."
Man Bao and Bai Shan both frowned.
Bai Erlang asked, "Can't we find their family members? With such a big child, we should know whose family it belongs to, right?"
Dao He nodded, "Yes, but they may not be able to grow up if they are sent back, especially the little junior sister and fourth junior brother. Master said that since he knew that Tianhe would be harmed, he shouldn't be sent back."
Daoxu said: "The fourth junior brother and the little junior sister were both seen when we came back from a religious ceremony three months ago. It was so cold outside at that time, the fourth junior brother was thrown into the grass, and the little junior sister was buried in a rock crevice.
There, if she hadn't cried, we wouldn't have noticed her even if we walked by."
At that time, Daoxu and Daohe were following Uncle Shoucai to perform rituals. When they came back, they heard this cry and almost fell to the ground in fright.
In the end, Taoist priest Shoucai was experienced and found the person from the cracks in the rocks. Then he took off his coat and wrapped the child back.
It is said that Daoxu and Daohe were picked up in this way back then.
Dao He sighed: "So I don't understand, should children like us die?"
As soon as this question came out, even Daoxu was startled. He covered his heart and asked, "Daohe, what are you thinking? Why should we die?"
"If we don't deserve to die, why did they abandon us?" He said: "We senior brothers are lucky enough to meet Master and the others, but there are still many children in this world who cannot meet them. They die just after they are born, so they
Are you born to face death?"
Bai Shan frowned, "This is because people's hearts are not ancient, so they need to be enlightened by the county magistrate. However, I think it is difficult to stabilize people's hearts. The most direct way is to make people's lives easier. For example, if there is enough food at home, then they will
Even if you don’t like the child you give birth to, you should still be able to support it, right?”
Man Bao nodded, "With money and food, many children will die less."
Daoxu asked, "Can we still farm the land for them? We can't give them money either."
Bai Erlang: "You're stupid, wouldn't it be nice to become a parent official so that the people under your rule can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life?"
"To put it simply, it depends on the face of God in this kind of land. Do you know whether he will be happy next year?" Daoxu said: "If he is not happy next year, he will give you a severe drought or a big disaster.
Lao, it’s useless no matter how good your parents are.”
The four of them thought what he said was reasonable, so Bai Shanmanbao and Bai Erlang looked at them together, "So it's up to you."
Dao and Daoxu looked confused, "Look at us?"
"Yes, let's see if you can learn to pray for rain," Bai Shan said whimsically, "Since your Taoists have a spell to pray for rain, then reversing it should be able to stop the rain, right? In this case, wouldn't the climate follow the person?"
Daohe:……
Daoxu couldn't hold back, reached out and touched Bai Shan's forehead, and asked Manbao, "Do you want to take a look at him?"
Man Bao also felt that Bai Shan was being whimsical, and was about to touch his forehead when Bai Shan slapped Daoxu's hand away and said, "Don't touch it, I don't have a fever, I'm serious."
Bai Shan turned to look at Man Bao, "They don't understand, don't you understand either? Since there are ghosts and gods in this world, then the storm should be controllable."
Man Bao: ...But Keke is really not her biological father!
Man Bao couldn't help complaining to Keke in his heart, "If the wind and rain can be controlled, then what else in this world cannot be controlled?"
Keke said: "Bai Shan is right, the wind and rain are indeed controllable."
Man Bao's eyes widened.
Seeing her like this, Bai Shan coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think?"
Man Bao nodded blankly. He had no time to talk to Ke Ke in his mind, but looked at Dao and Daoxu and said seriously: "You are Taoist priests, why don't you learn from it?"
When Bai Shan was the only one who said it was controllable, Dao and Daoxu didn't believe it, but if Zhou Man said the same...
The two of them, who were both young and didn't know enough about the world, believed it. Dao He asked, "But where did you see the exact record?"
Not this one.
However, Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "I haven't found any records yet. I think you can create this record."
Manbao nodded while talking to Keke in his mind, "Can people still control whether it rains or not?"
Keke said succinctly: "Yes, in ancient times, humans could select clouds that were conducive to precipitation and throw ice crystals at them to make the clouds rain. Now, rainfall technology has become more mature. When there are not enough clouds in the sky, even
It can move clouds in other areas, and in heavy rain areas, it can break up clouds that are about to rain, making them unable to rain."
Even time and space are no longer a problem, and rainfall is certainly not a problem.
Man Bao was dumbfounded and asked, "Can I learn this skill?"
Keke: "...then you have learned a lot, but there are tens of thousands of years of technical barriers in between. You have a teaching room, so it is not difficult to learn, but what is the use of learning it? You don't have the tools, one by one.
With the technological level of your world, you can't even make a qualified screw."
Well, Manbao could only suppress this thought, looked at Daohe and asked Keke, "Is it like the Taoist priest praying for rain written in the storybook..."
"It's just that they calculated it will rain accurately. Are you interested in astronomy? I can recommend you to read some books."
Man Bao immediately said: "Okay!"
Keke listed several rows of books for her, arranged according to the cultural level of her world. Manbao bought two books after looking at the covers, and then said to Daohe: "I will give you two books later.
Book, you study it to see if you can pray for rain, and we will study it too."
Bai Erlang is also very interested in this, "I will also study it."
Bai Shan was also interested, "I'll take a look too."
Daoxu looked at this, then that, and hesitated: "Can you really pray for rain? How about I take a look too?"
