Chapter 200 The Villain Does Not Escape from the Desert 6
After walking two miles, we finally got on the official road.
It rained in the western townships of Xiping County, and like a gust of wind, it blew across the entire Anqing Prefecture.
After a long period of drought, the usually desolate official road became bustling after a long absence.
Everywhere, people heard the news and rushed to store water.
The sounds of donkeys, horses and mules came one after another, but it didn't sound noisy to the ears.
Looking around, I saw many thin and weathered faces with unusually bright eyes.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan felt infinite joy in his heart.
Avoiding the crowds of cars and horses, he hurried on his way in silence.
Do what you think is right and what benefits the people, even if no one in the world knows me.
Just as I was feeling happy and admiring myself, a mule cart stopped steadily in front of me.
"Hey, young man! Are you going to the capital?
Would you like to take a mule cart? It will take you to the city gate for three cents."
So he pretended to take out three copper coins from his sleeve, handed them to the old man driving the coach, and sat down beside him.
In the middle of the car, there is a one-meter-high wooden barrel.
There was half a bucket of water in it.
The old man waited until Jing Yuan was seated firmly, then whipped the horse and set off.
After walking only a hundred meters, they started talking.
"Alas, God is merciful, it finally rained.
A few days later, I would have headed south with my family.
The city is really lively today.
As soon as the city gate was opened, many people came carrying water to sell.
After asking, I found out that it was raining here.
This is too much! People are rushing over here.
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, the rain would stop.
It is strange to say, in the whole Anqing Prefecture, only a few towns in the nearby Xiping County had rain.
By the way, young man, I saw that you didn’t bring a bucket with you, so you must be from Xiping County, right?
Do you have any urgent business in entering the city?"
"Oh, my wife gave birth to a boy yesterday."
"Oh! What a joy! It rained right after the baby was born, it's a great blessing..."
We chatted about daily life all the way.
In less than half an hour, we were out of the rain area.
The heat wave is surging and the heat is unbearable.
The soaked clothes were dried by the scorching sun in a moment.
There was still a steady stream of people rushing here carrying buckets of water upon hearing the news.
After he was five kilometers away, he took advantage of the cover of his straw raincoat and impatiently tore off 12 more pieces of talisman paper.
"Ah! It's raining!"
The old man next to him was shaking with joy and howling at the top of his lungs.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was watching from the side, feeling very nervous, fearing that the old man would become so excited that he would pass out.
He stretched out his left hand to catch the unconscious old man in time.
And make an emergency call to system 003 to transmit relevant first aid knowledge.
"God bless you!"
"Ancestors bless you."
"Lord of the Land, may you bless me!"
"May the Bodhisattva Guanyin, who saves the suffering, bless you."
……
I didn't know who started it, but all of a sudden, all I could hear was crying.
Following the sound, I saw that the people who were in a hurry just now had already stopped and knelt down to express their gratitude.
In a flash, the old man had parked the mule cart on the side of the road, muttering something, and reverently performing the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows towards the northwest.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan scratched his head. He didn't understand, but he respected.
After the old man finished his greetings, the smile on his face became even wider. He stopped chatting and started humming an unknown tune while driving the carriage.
After entering the city gate, the children played happily in the rain, and their clear laughter echoed over the city for a long time.
On the street, many pedestrians stopped and did not hide from the rain. They gathered in groups of three or five and chatted animatedly.
Against this backdrop, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, who was wearing a straw raincoat and walking in the rain, looked somewhat out of place.
The rate of returning visitors is so high that it’s unbearable!
He took off his raincoat quickly and walked quickly towards the Dawei Money House.
He took out two gold bars and exchanged them for 200 taels of silver notes.
He turned around and went to the dental clinic.
50 taels of silver were used to buy a mule cart with a spacious carriage, and two bundles of hay were also given as a gift.
In a year of famine, it is understandable that everything goes up in price.
But there are also things that have fallen in price, such as houses.
As soon as there were signs of drought, some smart people sold their property and went to other states.
He didn't rent a house anymore, but directly bought a small courtyard in Xicheng District for 100 taels of silver.
There are three main rooms, a kitchen on the west side, and a well in the middle of the yard.
After getting the house deed, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan drove a mule cart directly out of the west gate and headed west. After tearing the talisman twice, he turned south and then east.
When we rushed back to the village, it was already dark.
When he met familiar villagers, he couldn't help but chat with them. He just said that the child was a little weak, so he rented a car and planned to take him to the provincial capital to see a doctor the next day. Only then did he return home peacefully.
He tied the mule cart into the woodshed and asked System 003 to command the farming robot in the life space to cut a large bundle of sweet potato vines.
He went to the kitchen, washed up and changed his clothes, then walked into the main room holding an umbrella.
----
It is worthy of being a pill from the world of cultivation. The effects are immediate when taken by mortals.
His body was already in good shape and it was boring to just lie down, so Lieutenant General Xing Xi began to practice the "Basic Star Body Tempering Technique".
Hearing the noise, he decisively restrained his breath and stopped practicing. At this time, he was feeding the little girl with milk powder. When he saw someone coming in, he spoke in a calm voice:
"Xiao Xing is back, go lie down and have a rest."
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan nodded in response.
After working together for many years, we have a good understanding of each other.
I slept until 12 a.m. The rain outside had stopped.
Under the yellowish solar light, Old Xing is still practicing.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan sat up, lowered his head, and raised his hands to give a thumbs up.
Fuck! I'm a bit unlucky.
Finally, I realized that this man was a notoriously ruthless person in the Federal Seventh Army.
Practice whenever you have the chance, practice whenever you have the chance.
He could obviously make a living by relying on his brain, but every time he competed with someone, he was always defeated.
He has been staying in the third place position for many years without moving.
Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
It’s not that I don’t want to take a step further, it’s just that Admiral Qi Ming and Lieutenant General Xing Xi are too ruthless.
I can't compare with you in terms of potential, I can't compare with you in terms of strength, and I can't compare with you in terms of hard work!
After being stubborn for two or three years, I finally reconciled myself and did what I had to do.
Suddenly, the terrible pressure of living under the same roof came again.
Alas, the leisurely days are gone forever, and I mourn for the lost sleep time in the future!
"Brother Xing, you are busy. I will go to the river to release the snow."
"Okay. Go ahead!"
The drought has lasted too long, and 24 hours of heavy rain is not enough for the dry land.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan thought for a while, then tore off six more talismans, and then walked towards the riverbed, one step deep and one step shallow, away from the human habitation.
There was some water in the river, but not much.
He picked a big rock to sit on, took out a commercial sun umbrella to keep out the rain, and began to move the snow out of the system warehouse.
After working hard all night, I finally saw some results.
The sound of rushing water seems to flow into my heart! Very beautiful.
Turning back to the village, I looked up and saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
The hardworking villagers got up early, worked hard, and were so focused on planting that they had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
After returning home, the little girl was wrapped tightly and held by Xing Xi, and entered the carriage covered with a thick quilt.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan raised his whip and tapped the mule's butt lightly, and the cart creaked towards the newly purchased courtyard in Anqing Prefecture.
I chose this place on purpose. It is located at the end of the alley, and there are three houses next to it that are not occupied.
He also left a storage bag of daily necessities and drove a mule cart to various counties in Anqing Prefecture one by one to bring rain.
I learned my lesson and tore off 20 talismans at a time. Two days and one night of rain were enough to soak the land and bring it back to life.
After living in the open air for more than a month, they finally returned.
At this time, the little girl was already one month old.
Xing Xi also gave him a big name, called Jingdong.
After a night's rest, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan drove a mule cart back to the village early in the morning.
He found the head of the village and told him that his child was weak and he needed money for medicine, so he wanted to sell the house together with the five acres of thin land.
The original owner's family were outsiders, and as the village head elected by the Yang clan, he was eager for everyone to leave.
He simply took out forty taels of silver and took the house deed and land deed.
Both sons have married and have children, so it is only a matter of time before they separate and build their own houses.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was happy to have some free time. After the handover was completed, he didn't stay any longer and just jumped on the mule cart and left.
The corn in the fields is as tall as my calves.
The sun was quite hot early in the morning and the leaves were wilting. You could tell at a glance that there was some drought.
From time to time, people are seen carrying water for irrigation.
Well, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan will directly start a new round of rain delivery.
He then sold the house in Anqing Mansion and earned an extra 20 taels of silver.
congratulations!
Then he took his "proud wife and young son" and drove a mule cart to Zhongzhou Province and other prefectures to bring rain...
