Lu Lianshan listened to the shopkeeper's words, glanced at Lu Dazhi, and continued to ask the shopkeeper: "Uncle said that decades ago, the wind and rain here used to be smooth, and later, it became more and more drought, what is going on?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Alas, I also heard from the elders that a few decades ago, the wind and rain here were smooth, all because of the merits of the Namo County Order outside the western border. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 I think that at the beginning, when Mo Xianling was young, he had great magical powers, and often borrowed seawater from the Dragon King of the East China Sea, which was far away, and turned it into dark clouds and poured rain to water the nearby land. Therefore, at that time, no matter animal husbandry and farming, there was a good harvest. However, this is just a legend, even the old man who lives in the same county as Mo Xianling has not seen it with his own eyes, it is just such a rumor. Later, because we are located in the Western Regions, we were invaded by other countries in the west, after a big war, although Mo Xianling barely resisted foreign invasion, but he also almost died, and then I heard that he also lost his magical powers, and can no longer ask for rain. And what we ordinary people saw, apart from the great war, was a long drought after that. ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, although they were deeply sympathetic to the old man's suffering, they couldn't help but be a little happy, thinking: "This must not be far from that destination!" Uncle Huan couldn't help asking: "May I ask the shopkeeper, where did you say that the county seat where the powerful Mo County Order is located?"

The shopkeeper replied, "It's in the county town ahead." From here, it's four or five days to the west along the main road, and a day or two if it's fast. ”

When the 'people of the Lu Mansion' heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally arrived at their destination after all this journey. But at this moment, Lu Lianshan was still thinking about the shopkeeper's words, and Lu Lianshan thought: "It must be like this." After the great battle against the Mughal kingdom, Brother Mo's outstanding martial arts were completely lost, and he was able to save his life. Therefore, the skill of calling the wind and calling the rain, which once brought happiness to the local people, was also lost along with the martial arts. However, since I lived in seclusion in the mountains, I have not seen Brother Mo for decades. And in the past, in order to hide his identity, he deliberately avoided Brother Mo, and never called his subordinates to come here to do business, for fear that Brother Mo would find out that I had never died, but I lived in seclusion. Therefore, over the years, I really don't know anything about Brother Mo's situation. Now that I'm about to see my old friend, it's better to ask for more news. ”

Thinking of this, Lu Lianshan asked again: "Old shopkeeper, you said that after the war, your place was not as smooth as it used to be, at that time, how dry was it?"

The old shopkeeper said, "Alas, I have seen these situations with my own eyes, so I remember them." After that war, although the rain decreased significantly, Mo County Ling really thought about the suffering of our people, and as a parent, he was careful and thoughtful, so our local people could barely have enough food and clothing. It's just that in the past few years, it may be that Mo County has become older and haggard, and our area is not as good as day by day. However, on the whole, the Mo County Order has allowed the people on our side, so many mouths, for decades, everyone has been able to eat, although in the past two years, life has been tight, but our local people are still grateful to the Mo County Order. ”

When Zang Feng heard this, he suddenly remembered that when he was a farmer two years ago, the water and soil suddenly changed greatly, and there was no harvest, so he was forced to run away to make a living, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper: "Old man, in the past two years, is it on the land, what is planted does not grow, what grows does not harvest, sometimes, for no reason, there are strange weeds?"

The shopkeeper listened to Zang Feng's words, slapped his thigh, and hurriedly replied: "Little brother, that's exactly what it is! I was still scolding my little brother just now, I don't know about the lives of the poor, but I didn't expect us peasants to know the same way! This has been the case in the past two years! The land that used to be able to barely grow some crops has suddenly become like an evil spirit, and nothing can be born! Moreover, the wells in the village are getting drier and drier, and this year, there are only a few wells with water, and the wells are all muddy soup! Alas. However, we have heard that the Mo County Order, in the past two years, has also been worried about this matter, and even for us, the people of Li, have worked day and night, and gradually accumulated hard work and become ill, suffering from heart disease! It is precisely because of this that the Mo County Order's health has also deteriorated. Alas!"

Zang Feng listened to what the shopkeeper said, and he really came from the bottom of his heart, so he hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, I used to work as a farmer in my later life, and I have always lived a poor and hard life, but I really couldn't make a living, so I found another way out." Just now, when I first came, I really didn't expect that the old man's village would be so dry, and he collided with the old man with a momentary speech. In the past two years, in the past two years, there have been many people like me who have left this place and found another way out?"

The old shopkeeper said: "Alas! In the past two years, not only in our small village, but also some of the big herdsmen who often graze cattle in the vicinity have also migrated from all over the place! And those of us who live by farming do not graze all year round, but it is not so easy, and we just leave. ”

When Lu Lianshan, Uncle Huan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but think that the herdsman Ah Xiang's family, who had escaped the disaster, thought to themselves that at this moment, when they arrived in the Western Regions, the situation was really as good as they had heard in the past. 'Uncle Huan' couldn't help asking, "Doesn't the old man's family make a living by herding?"

The old shopkeeper said: "I think the ancestors in our village, I heard that in the early years, they also came here for herding. Just because the ancestors at that time took a fancy to the fertile water and grass here, they settled down. Who would have thought that the changes of the sun and the moon, the vicissitudes of life, the original oasis is now so barren. And our younger generations, who have been farming for generations, have long since lost their nomadic skills, so they can only watch the sky and eat! At present, the luck is not good, and the old people have no choice but to guard the roadside and do some tea business to survive. ”

When Lu Lianshan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads. 'Uncle Huan' even asked, "Is there anyone else in the old man's house?"

I saw that this old man, when he heard this, his face was even more sad, he just shook his head and sighed, and was just about to answer. Suddenly, everyone only heard the sound of "jingling" bells in the village. The old man was thought of by this ringtone, and his spirit was instantly lifted, and the words he was about to say were also left behind, so he just said: "Ah! Mo County ordered his righteous subordinates to send relief food to the people in our village!
