My Weird Life

Chapter 1329: Fighting Competition (3)

 Liangzhou, at the foot of Liulong Mountain.

 The fields are drying up, the earth is cracked, and the crops are barren.

The gray-haired old man carried buckets of water from the distant stream one by one and poured it on the wheat seedlings in the field. The clear water soaked out patches of wetness around the wheat seedlings, but after only a moment, The wet marks in the field ridges disappeared completely, as if they had never existed.

The white-haired old farmer sat down on the field ridge in despair, looking at his little grandson bending down to pull up weeds at the edge of the field, tears welled up in his muddy old eyes.

Even though the sun was scorching high in the sky, he could not feel the slightest warmth. Instead, waves of cold air surged out of his heart and crawled all over his back.

 Poor farmers like them really have no food surplus to accumulate.

 If the crops are not harvested in one season, it is inevitable that you will be hungry for more than ten days in the next season. No matter how frugal you are, you will not be able to avoid the pain of starvation.

However, there is a severe drought in Yongliang and Liang this year, and the wheat seedlings planted in the fields are about to die of drought. This autumn, the fields will probably lose their harvest.

The next season will not be able to survive by starving for more than ten days.

 —In the coming season, people may starve to death!

 My grandson is only eight years old this year.

He might starve to death in the next season... These thoughts emerged from the old farmer's heart one after another. Big tears poured out of his eyes, blurring his vision. He turned his back. He left without letting his grandson see his tears. He knelt down tremblingly on the yellow earth and kept kowtowing to the sky: "God, God...

You spared us, you spared us..."

 The tears rolled down from the old man's eyes and fell into the dry land. Within a moment, there were no traces left.

When the old man calmed down a little and turned around to see his little grandson, he found that his little grandson was playing with a tall figure.

 The grandson held a piece of candy in his hand, licking it and giggling.

When he saw Aweng turning to look at him, he smiled and raised the candy in his hand, ran to the old farmer, and stuffed the candy into the old man's mouth: "Aweng, it's very sweet, that one The uncle gave it to his grandson, you try it, you try it..."

　　"I won't taste it, but my grandson will eat it. My grandson will eat it." The old man held the boy in his arms and raised his eyes to look at the tall young man on the edge of the field.

 The height of the young man has exceeded what the old man has seen in his life.

When he saw the other person walking towards him, he suddenly felt that a big dark cloud was coming towards him, and he hugged the child tightly in his arms, for fear that the young man would be harmful to their grandfather and grandson.

Fortunately, the smile on the young man's face was noticed by the old man. Strangely enough, the young man had not said anything yet, but just showed a slight smile, and the wariness and fear in the old man's heart suddenly disappeared. a lot of.

“Old man, I’d like to ask you for directions.

 What boundary is this now?

 What is the name of the mountain in front? "Su Wu smiled and asked the old man. While asking, he pointed to the stretching mountains ahead.

The mountains are covered with broad-leaved forests. It is spring now, but most of the tall trees in the mountains are withered and yellow. Looking from here to the mountains there, you can only see patches of lifeless yellow.

“This is Liulong Mountain.

 The largest mountain in the middle is called Laolong Mountain. The old man stood up with his grandson in his arms and replied to Su Wu, "Are you going to go to the mountains?"

Don’t go, you can’t go. There used to be several villages in this mountain, but all the people in them are gone. I heard there is something strange going on in the mountain..."

Probably because the other party gave his grandson a piece of candy, the old man wanted to remind Su Wu a few more words, fearing that he would really go into the mountains and lose his life there.

"Is that where Laolong Mountain is?" Su Wu nodded and turned to look at the pole and barrel that the old man placed on the ridge. He pointed to the dry and cracked fields and said to the old man, "Old man, you go there like this Walking through the fields to carry water will not help, and it will not save the crops in your field."

As soon as he heard the young man mentioning the crops in his field, the old man suddenly felt sad in his heart: "Well, I know, but there is nothing we can do. If we don't save it, it won't be in season, and we can still have some output. If we don't save it, my whole family will lose it." Starve to death!"

"The drought here cannot be solved by just watering." Su Wu still shook his head and said to the old man, "Old man, don't waste your energy here, go home. There will be a heavy rain tonight.

 After the rain, the crops in your fields will come back to life and the drought will end.

 Go home quickly! "

“How did you know there would be heavy rain tonight?” The old man was surprised and happy, and asked Su Wu.

 He has reached the point where he is desperate to seek medical treatment. A few unfounded words from a passerby can convince him, just like a drowning man trying to grasp at straws to save his life.

Su Wu pointed to the blue sky and said to the old man: "I looked at the sky and there should be a heavy rain tonight."

"real?"

"real."

Su Wu smiled with the old man: "If you don't believe it, by midnight tonight, if you stand at the door, you should be able to see the rain pouring down.

However, the elderly should still take care of themselves and avoid getting exposed to the rain and cold. "

"well!

Then I believe you, I believe you! "The old man nodded repeatedly and turned around to get the pole and barrel. He then bent down and remembered that he should ask the young man his name, so he turned back. However, there was no figure of the tall young man behind him. ?

 The fields were silent except for the sound of the grandson licking the candy.

 “Grandson, who is that?” the old man asked blankly.

"Uncle is leaving, a gust of wind passes, and he is gone..."

 …

 Inside the inn.

Su Wu slowly opened his eyes, and the Origin Spirit in his heart gathered its aura, and the dragon veins' roots that were scattered on the earth were all gathered together in an instant.

 He stood up and said to the five bored women in the room: "Let's go, I probably know the source of the severe drought in Yongliang and Liang."

"good."

Danga, Jiang Yingying, Qingzi and other five girls agreed with smiles.

　　Everyone walked out of the guest room, left the inn directly, picked up the horses that were fostered in the inn's stable, and rode away from here.

They had just left the inn, and several bad guys who were hiding next to the guest room where Su Wu and others lived also hurriedly left. They drove their horses to catch up with Su Wu and his group, and leisurely followed Su Wu and his group, secretly for tracking.

As Su Wu and others crossed the official road outside the city, when they reached a sparsely populated hilly area, they suddenly stopped their mounts.

Several Taoists dressed in blue robes drove their horses and stood at the end of the gentle slope.

 The Taoists on horseback looked down at Su Wu and his group down the gentle slope.

Several bad guys who were following Su Wu and his party saw that the situation was not right and hid in the surrounding bushes. Among them was a thin young man who took out the pen and ink from the book box, tapped the tip of the brush on his tongue, and wrote it in the book. Write one word after another:

“March 23, the fifth year of Kaiyuan.

Outside the west gate of Dayuan City, the official road goes straight southwest for three to five miles to the "Yehu Ridge", where Taoist Mingdeng of the Hualong Sect of the Daomen and Zhang Wu, the leader of the Kitchen God Sect, are fighting here. "
