Memorize Chapter 006
Huaxiang Village is close to the towering mountains. In previous years, the climate was humid and there was a lot of rain. However, in recent years, strange things have happened. The rain has been decreasing every year. This year, there has been no water for more than five months.
The rice seedlings in the fields have been withered by the scorching sun and are about to collapse. It is very likely that the villagers here will face the largest drought in history, and may even lose their harvest.
Therefore, the superstitious elders in the village mobilized a large number of people, hired a wind master, and held such a grand rain-seeking ceremony. However, perhaps it was an accident, and the whole thing was completely messed up by Lei Yu.
Huachang Village, to the north of the village, is an endless stretch of land. The fertile fields in the past are now dry. The rice seedlings that have just grown out of the ground have lost their past green color, become sallow, and lifeless.
"The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, Guanyin Bodhisattva is about to appear!"
At the very front of the dry land, there was a guy wearing a white Taoist robe, wielding a crudely carved wooden sword. He was swaying exaggeratedly left and right and jumping around in front of an incense table filled with various offerings.
, just like a funny clown, dancing in a funny way.
Needless to say, it is our uninhibited and unrestrained romantic young man Leiyu who can create such nondescript and funny scenes!
In fact, Lei Yu at this moment also admired himself. He could achieve such an impressive thing in a short period of time, and his hard work was not in vain. Originally, he thought that a small village could achieve something.
Unexpectedly, there is also a self-made
This is the place where you can use your spare energy. Haha, first fool these simple villagers and gain their trust, and then show off your special charm in front of so many village girls of all kinds. Then you can win the favor of one or two village girls.
That's out of the question.
While Lei Yu was doing his work, he was making some wishful thinking, and he was even more enthusiastic about playing tricks.
I saw him holding a wooden sword in one hand and shouting loudly, "I am the master of heaven and earth, and the great magic power appears! All things listen to my orders and lead the wind!"
Before he finished speaking, the sword tip trembled, and a small colorful flag on the incense table magically fluttered in the wind. The villagers had never seen such a wonderful magical performance before, and they immediately cheered in horror.
Leiyu, on the other hand, held his head high and showed off.
But those who are careful will definitely find that there is a thin filament on the small colorful flag that is very difficult to find. The mystery is self-evident.
"Okay, the Feng Shui array has been set up, it will definitely rain heavily tonight!"
Lei Yu clapped his hands with satisfaction, looking confident. No wonder these kind-hearted villagers were deceived by him. Even Mr. Feng Daochang, who always had a hostile look on his side, showed doubts.
Most of the villagers who were watching had expressions of hope on their faces, as if it was only a matter of time before the sweet rain fell.
"It's broken. It looks like this bastard is really bad at it. Is it really going to rain tonight?" Shengli said worriedly.
The village chief also lost his usual calm look and showed a hint of anxiety. He came to Taoist Master Feng and lowered his voice and said, "Taoist Master, with your knowledgeable eyes, can this boy do it?"
"Well, it's hard to say. I've never seen his method of casting spells. Maybe it's some unorthodox trick?" the Taoist priest said ambiguously.
"Dad, what are we going to do? We must never let this kid succeed!" Shengli couldn't hold back his anger at all.
The village chief's mouth moved unnaturally twice, "Why panic? Now we can only act by ear!"
Hundreds of villagers held their breaths and stared at the clouds in the distance with eager eyes. How they hoped for a dark cloud to appear!
But on the horizon, there are still those charming colorful sunsets, without any dirt at all. As time passes, the sunset gradually loses its luster, the sun disappears into the distant mountains, and the bright moon gradually hangs in the sky, until
In the dead of night, there was no sign of rain, and all that was left were the gradually disappointed looks of the villagers.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
While the villagers were waiting impatiently, they suddenly heard the sound of snoring.
Looking for the sound, it was none other than Thunderstorm, who claimed to be a Feng Shui master and could call the wind and rain. He tilted his head and leaned under an old locust tree. He slept in darkness, with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Hey, hey, how can you still think about sleeping at such a critical time?" The kind-hearted Miao Jinghua quickly stepped forward and touched Lei Yu's shoulder.
"Well, who is it? Don't make trouble, don't disturb this young master's dream of love!" Unexpectedly, Lei Yu is addicted to sleeping.
"You bastard, why don't you get up? Look at what time it is. It's already midnight. Where's the rain you're talking about?" Zhuzi stepped forward first and pulled Lei Yu up.
"That's right, where is the rain? Are you trying to fool us?"
"Hmph, we country folk hate people who deceive us the most. Tell me, will it rain or not?"
Come on! With a shout, the villagers gathered around.
Lei Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Everyone, everyone, please be patient. According to reports, it should rain at this hour! No, there must be something wrong. Let me take a closer look."
Good guy, this kid Lei Yu can still keep his composure. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the incense table very carefully under the soft moonlight.
Suddenly, Lei Yu slapped his thigh and exaggeratedly shouted: "Ah, I found it, that's the problem! Look quickly, everyone, why are there so many missing offerings on the incense table!"
As soon as the thunderstorm roared, the villagers immediately gathered around. However, some apples, bananas, and even a good roast chicken were missing from the offerings on the incense table. A chicken thigh was also missing.
"Shh, shh, don't make a sound..."
When the villagers were surprised, Lei Yu exaggeratedly put a finger in front of his mouth, as if to stop talking.
The villagers quickly shut their mouths. At this time, there was a small chewing sound from under the incense table.
What are you waiting for? The weird thing is here. Lei Yu kicked out fiercely, and the incense table neatly moved one meter to the side. A thin figure appeared under the incense table.
"Ah? It's poor Ergouzi." Miao Jinghua hurried forward and pulled up the half-grown boy who was stealing chicken thighs. "Ergouzi, why are you so naughty and stealing the offerings?"
Lei Yu immediately discovered a serious problem. Why was it that every villager had a sympathetic expression on their face, and none of them was angry, "Stop, stop, stop! I know that all of you folks have a good character of great kindness and compassion, but this
The difference is too big! The rain praying ceremony was also ruined. Why did he shout and kill when he came to me, but when he came to this kid, he didn't even curse."
The old director of the police station patted Lei Yu on the shoulder and said patiently: "Hey, you are a foreigner and don't know anything. This little loser is so pitiful. When I was ten years old, my father wanted to save a government official.
The geologist who came here encountered a mudslide in the mountains and left like this. And his grandfather, the most respected old party secretary in our village, also worked hard and devoted himself to the development of the village. He fell ill the year before last.
After falling down, I never got up again..."
When these were mentioned, all the folks present looked sad, as if the old party secretary had just left everyone.
For the first time, Lei Yu felt the kindness and simplicity in this flowery village, but he should never have said more than he should have: "Where is Er Gouzi's mother?"
Lei Yu's words were like a thunderbolt. The sadness on the faces of each of the villagers was instantly wiped away, replaced by boundless anger!
Various whispers of curses gathered into a vast ocean, and the thunderstorm immediately felt like being drowned.
"Fellow folks, please don't be diverted by this brat. He didn't ask for a drop of rain at all. I think he has been deceiving everyone from beginning to end. He is still pretending to be a fool and treating everyone as fools." Finally.
If this guy Sheng Sheng gets the opportunity, how can he not fan the flames and wish he could kill Lei Yu, his great love rival, within minutes?
The words of victory immediately received a response from the villagers, who once again pointed the finger at Thunderstorm.
"Dear fellow villagers, the reason for the failure of this rain praying ceremony is entirely because the poor Ergouzi stole the offerings on the incense table and angered the gods. How can you impose all the responsibility on me!"
Lei Yu quickly seized the opportunity to quibble. In fact, he was extremely grateful to Er Gouzi. It was the appearance of this little guy that gave him a reasonable reason to shirk the responsibility for the failure to pray for rain.
"Hmph, from what I see, this brat is just pretending. He is just looking for a chance to excuse himself." Feng Daochang is different from these kind and simple folks.
"Hehe, hehe, haha." Leiyu suddenly laughed exaggeratedly three times, and looked at Fengdao with strange eyes, "Smelly old man, you said I have no ability, then if you have the ability, please give me a rain
Try it, otherwise I can say that you have been pretending to be a ghost!"
Lei Yu had already noticed that this stinky Taoist priest was just trying to make ends meet. Could he really know how to chat with gods and have a heart-to-heart talk with God?
But Lei Yu never expected it. After he was so excited, the old man actually became fierce. He shook his belly confidently and twisted his long beard, "Humph, it seems that I must show off my special skills."
Well, even though your kid ruined the sacred rain praying ceremony last time, there is still room for redemption!"
As soon as they heard that they could pray for rain, the villagers immediately became happy and gathered around, respectfully asking how to pray for rain.
Only the village chief and his son looked worried. Shengli came behind the Taoist priest and whispered: "Taoist priest, what are you doing! Don't forget our agreement!"
The Feng Taoist ignored it at all, but continued: "The only remedy now is to be happy!"
"Hello?" everyone asked in unison.
"That's right! The root cause of the drought in Huaxiang is that the mountain god is angry. As long as we sincerely find a woman and dedicate it to the mountain god, we will be able to solve the problem of the dry land!" Feng Taoist said righteously, but in his heart
I thought to myself: Haha, this time, I finally have a chance. For so many years, I have delayed my life-long events for the sake of the development of Huaxiang!
