Chapter 14 Three Years of Drought and Three Years of Flooding

When Ling Chen faced these people, the momentum of the whole person was different, a little superior, but he didn't know what was going on, because he had a noble temperament and was really capable, so he couldn't make people disgusted.

Yun Zhengxin is also a person with a high status, but in the face of Ling Chen's attitude, he didn't feel anything wrong, but was very cooperative: "Dao Chief, please speak, I naturally know everything." ”

Ling Chen nodded, but he was also unkind, he didn't even have a polite word to ask how his body was, and asked straight to the point: "As a businessman, Mr. Yun should be the most well-informed in Qingcheng, and he must know all about the dead people in the city, right?"

Yun Zhengxin showed two hesitations on his face, and he didn't know where to start, Ling Chen saw that he seemed to have some scruples, so he continued: "At this time, it is a matter of your life and the lives of others, and I hope you don't hide it." ”

The meaning of these words was both advice and intimidation, Yun Zhengxin hesitated a little, and asked instead: "Did Daoist Lingchen find something?"

Ling Chen smiled a little lightly, pinched the cup and looked at Yun Zhengxin: "If I guessed correctly, Mr. Yun should have met a strange Taoist before, right?"

Yun Zhengxin nodded, the expression on his face changed twice, looking at Ling Chen's eyes, there were some vigilance and doubts, and he asked in a serious tone: "Yes, how did Daoist Ling Chen know?"

Ling Chen looked at Yun Zhengxin's eyes, and knew that he should have some scruples in his heart at this time, so he didn't directly say the information of that person, so he directly broke the concern in his heart, and said with a dose of fierce medicine: "The same is true for the few people who died in the city. ”

Yun Zhengxin suddenly remembered the days when he struggled between life and death, "Then I ......" His face turned pale, he almost stepped into the palace of Hades, and those who died once regretted their lives the most.

Ling Chen deliberately scared him first and then suppressed, letting him know his ability and being safe for the time being, and let the matter of death hang over the other party's head: "You don't have to worry, you have my spell on your body, and you are fine for the time being, but I see that the demon is harming more and more people now, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, even I won't be able to cure him." ”

Seeing that Yun Zhengxin's face showed a frightened body, Yun Man couldn't be frightened by this Ling Chen, so he hurriedly intervened and persuaded as soon as Ling Chen's voice fell: "Dad, what's going on with that person? ”

Yun Zhengxin let out a long sigh, as if fine beads of sweat were about to break out on his head, he looked at his daughter and then looked at the blood on the young Taoist's face and came back a point or two: "Hey...... That's a long story. ”

Yun Zhengxin's story is long, and it is really not polite, this has to start from three years ago.

As the old saying goes, farmers are mostly poor for three years and rich for three years, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or what the reason, but most of the people who dig in the soil can notice a rule, that is, no matter how carefully you serve, but this thing depends on God to eat, and there is no good harvest every year, most of them are three years of harvest and three years of barrenness, which also causes everyone to store some grain in the harvest year for emergencies.

But I don't know what's going on, probably Qingcheng's feng shui is good, since Yun Man was born, until Yun Man left Qingcheng at the age of eighteen, Qingcheng has never been like other places, there is a big drought year, every year the grain is rich and surplus, a few years ago, everyone was still a little strange, worried that this rich day would not last long, and then I was afraid that there would be a big drought for many years, but there was no such thing for more than ten years, everyone let go of vigilance, and thought that it would not happen again, and every family no longer stocked grain, just waiting to buy fresh。

Yun Zhengxin remembers clearly, just the second year of Yun Man's departure, Qingcheng began an unprecedented catastrophe and drought, although the ground can not be called a grain without harvest, but such a vast piece of land, a few people carefully served, it is a great drought, and it is a locust plague, and when people grab it, it is difficult to eat it in their mouths.

This disaster is menacing, not even a little omen, everyone has no food in the house, at the beginning of the years of wealth, the family that little surplus grain has passed for some days, but a few months later, when this is still the case, everyone can no longer stand it, the price of old rice is higher than the new rice of the year, the surrounding villages and towns, because they always have to evenly feed Qingcheng and live tightly, in the end there is no surplus grain to take out.

The aquatic plants and moss in the lotus pond have long been eaten, including the dried grass roots, which have also been dug up and eaten with a little soil, and the city is almost in a situation of cannibalism.

But at this moment, a strange Taoist came to the city, he was wearing a Taoist robe of no color, and a black hood covered his face, and the city was desolate, but he walked calmly, and came to the Yun family.

Yun Zhengxin has always been kind and charitable before, but this year he also made a dilemma, thinking that the Taoist was here to eat, and he was a little ashamed and said: "I'm sorry, Dao Chief, there is really nothing to eat in this house." ”

The Taoist chief didn't care about these either, he pretended to have a profound feeling, and he didn't mention eating, but just asked him, "Do you want to live?"

This is a strange question, who doesn't want to live, but in the current situation, even if people want to live, it depends on whether God gives this opportunity.

Yun Zheng was confident that he was strange, but when he saw the Dao Chief, he didn't know why, so he nodded.

The Taoist smiled when he saw it, pulled the sleeve of the robe, and showed an unpredictable smile on his face, what Yun Zhengxin couldn't remember clearly, and he seemed to have a vague impression, but he only remembered that he said: "If you want to live, invite me into your house now, I can ensure that everyone in your family survives, and I can also make you make a lot of money." ”

The Taoist is dressed in tatters, but he says such a thing, if it is usual, he will inevitably be blasted out, but now is at this time, everyone is a little sick and rushed to the doctor, I can hear the Taoist say this, although I don't know if it is true or false. But he was also busy inviting the Taoist in, and if this was fake, it would be a great loss of some money, and if it was true, it would not be possible to exchange it for any money.

This person is really good, not the kind of person who cheats money and bluffs people, and when he gets home, he doesn't eat or drink, let alone ask for money, he flicks his sleeves and looks around the family, and finally takes out five small puppets from the package he carries, and asks Yun Zhengxin to drip blood on it, and calls those family members to move the vat that holds rice and water on their weekdays.

The Taoist priest asked Yun Zhengxin to let out the blood, stained the blood, drew some twists and turns on the two large vats, and then asked someone to open a new room to come out, and put the two large vats and five small puppets into it together, and then slapped his hands and said: "Okay, the creation I gave you is complete, you keep this house closed for seven days, and you will open it again after seven days." ”

After saying this, he left, and Yun Zhengxin and the others followed the instructions of the Taoist priest, closed the door of the room, and relied on other things for seven days, and when the seven days passed, when the room was opened, it was an old smell of dust, and everyone felt strange, and went into the room to see, but found that the rice tank and water tank that had been empty were actually full of rice and crystal clear water.

Everyone has never seen such a scene for a few months, and now they are almost in tears, Yun Zhengxin strode forward and inserted his hand into the rice, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, he was afraid that the rice was just a thin layer, but until the position of the shoulder, Yun Zhengxin was still holding rice in his hand, and he couldn't help but red his eyes with excitement.

When even if the family members took half a basin and cooked it into gruel, and one person shared a bowl and drank it, the hunger for days was barely suppressed by these porridge water, and it could last a few more days.

It's not that I don't want to have a full meal, but I don't know how long it will be in the future, although this pot of rice seems to be a lot, but this big family, if you let go of eating, you won't be able to eat for a few days.

After eating half starved and half-full like this for a few days, Yun Zhengxin suddenly found that something was wrong, the grain in this rice jar was originally sharp, and after eating it for a few days this time, it should have come out of a pit, but not only that, the rice in the rice jar actually seemed to be a little more than that.

Could it be ...... This thought flashed through my mind, and I felt that it was a little impossible, but the reaction for several days was only this possibility.

In order to verify his idea, Yun Zhengxin even found a big sack and scooped out the rice in a basin next to the rice tank, and as Zhengxin thought, the rice in the rice tank was endless, Yun Zhengxin scooped out a basin, and he grew a basin, and when Yun Zhengxin finally filled a sack, the rice in the jar was still full of sharp cylinders.

Yun Zhengxin couldn't even describe what mood he was in at that time, and after he tried the water tank in the same way, he realized that he was afraid that he had obtained two artifacts.

There's a saying that the more things you have, the more responsibility you have.

Yun Zhengxin led the family to eat a full meal from top to bottom, and everyone ate with round stomachs, thinking that they were living in a dream, and then heard Yun Zhengxin resolutely announce that he planned to open a store to sell porridge.

Yun Zhengxin has many industries, including grain stores, but now there is no food at all, so it has to be closed.

Before, there was no food at home, and it was not easy to make ends meet by himself, but now that he has such a divine object, it is naturally not good for him to turn a blind eye to the scene in the city according to his temperament.

Yun Zhengxin chose the store closest to his home this time, took advantage of the middle of the night to transport a bag of rice and a few buckets of water, and the next morning, it was boiled lively.
