Chapter 619, Tempest, Summoned
The climate here is very peculiar and strange, many scholars come here can not find the reason, located in the southern water town, the rainy season is obvious, this area is arid and abnormal, rainfall is scarce.
However, the scarcity of rainfall does not mean that there is no rainfall, and this scarce rainfall has become the main way for the villagers to maintain their daily water.
It's getting cooler, and no one would associate this with arid regions.
"It's such a refreshing wind..."Fang Qing muttered, opening her heart to meet the cool breeze and said, "How can there be a drought here..."
"The rainfall is scarce, there is no stable water source nearby, in fact, it just looks like a better wasteland," said Wang Zejing next to him.
"I'm afraid only Master Bei can live here... Oh no, in fact, Bei Ye can't do it, there aren't even many high-protein bugs. Xie Yan muttered, it was still hard for him to imagine how he should live with extreme water shortage.
Under the call of the village chiefs, these villagers quickly mobilized and took out all the pots and pans, as well as a canvas specially used to store water, which was filled with sand, and looked at the sky expectantly.
"This sand is probably used to filter rainwater. Li Yun looked at the sand on it, this sand will certainly dye the water yellow, but what about the yellow water, at least it is better than eating a lot of dirty things in your mouth.
The wind blew slightly, and it began to rain, and fine goose feathers fell from the sky.
As soon as they saw the rain, the people of the village happily danced a wild folk dance, but to the students they were dumbfounded.
This... Is this called rain?
A drizzle of rain fell from the sky and hit these containers, and if the rain lasted for an hour, it would be enough to hold a small glass of water.
"I pee with more water than this..."Xie Yan's jaw fell, is he so happy about this rain?
This rain is really like Xie Yan said, saying that two or three drops of a kitten are for face, and the little bit under this rain has no vitality at all, and even the interest of letting students and couples stroll in the rain is wooden...
"Great... It's really a blessing from God, it's raining at this time, it's been a long time since it's raining, now we don't have to go outside to buy water at a high price..."The old village chief looked at the sky happily.
It didn't take long for the rain to stop, and just as Xie Yan said, a soak of urine was more than this water, and almost every household only collected a glass of water.
The extent of this glass of water has also been treasured by the villagers.
"How often does it rain here on average?" asked Wang Weigong.
"About a month... Two months... In fact, if it rains in the city, we will also rain here, but the rain is pitiful, and the biggest rain is drizzle outside. As soon as the old village chief was in a good mood, he said more, and quickly went to help the villagers clean up the rain cloth and utensils.
The old village chief's words made the students stunned, the light rain outside is equivalent to the heavy rain here, is there such a magical place.
"Dry village, dry village, that's it... Don't be idle, and help out if you have time, as a reward for those big pies. The head teacher said.
Some students were a little uncomfortable, the yellow mud land was so dirty to help, Xie Yan did not hesitate, rolled up his sleeves and ran to help, and even Wang Zejing, who was full of disdain and arrogance just now, went to help clean up the rain cloth and repay the kindness of that big cake.
"This is a young man, although sometimes it stinks, but most of the hearts are pure and not bad..."Li Yun smiled and went to help with Bai Shen.
The villagers were also very grateful to the students, and soon with the help of the students, the curtains placed outside the few houses in the village were packed into the houses.
At this time, Chen She, who was in the villagers' houses, was also seen through by the students.
It is dilapidated and messy, but not dirty, and it is obvious that the villagers here have not given up on themselves because of the lack of water, and they have also maintained their living environment.
"Mommy, I want water," said one of the children weakly.
The mother did not refuse the child this time, but said happily: "Well, there is water today, don't be thirsty anymore, mom will boil water for you to drink..."
After filtering one of the cups of water stained with sediment with a simple primitive device, and then boiling it over a fire, a bowl of hot water is out of the pot, and then a spoonful of white sugar is put into it, and it becomes the child's water today.
The child happily held the water, sipped the water slightly, drank it, no matter how hot his mouth was, he drank a small half at once, and after drinking, he handed it to his mother.
"Mommy drinks water..."
"The baby is obedient, mom scolds you for not being thirsty, can you drink..."
"Mommy drinks... Daddy drinks it too..."
The so-called dad is just a posthumous portrait next to him, with only a gray-white thin young man on it, and the dirt on his face is still removed after he is dead...
This scene made some emotional students feel sad and distressed, this lack of water was so terrible that even Fang Qing, who claimed to be rational, felt a faint throbbing pain.
In the end, the mother couldn't shirk it, so she could only take two sips and feel the sweet water moisten her throat.
"Alas, my sister's family is also bitter, the pillar of the family was originally a member of the water transport team, but in the end, because I wanted to transport a little more water back to the village so that everyone could drink well, the ox cart was overloaded, and finally fell off the cliff..."
After helping to clean up, the students began to observe the tour, observe the terrain here, collect materials, and interact with the children, take pictures by the way, and experience the daily life here.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, the students went to see for themselves how their dinner flatbread was baked, and the scene in front of them gave them a great impact on their small hearts.
The earthen kiln is used to bake the flatbread, and the noodles are made of the cleanest pure water, which flows out of the bucket and is so clean that it mixes with the noodles as if they don't need money.
The sheer reason why this flatbread has sand is simply because there is not much water to clean the containers.
When I think of the daytime, this family, a glass of water has to be divided into two people to drink is not a taste, such a precious pure water, I have to cook myself a flatbread to eat...
The fragrant flatbread was brought to the table, accompanied by simple coriander and sauce, and this time no one had any opinions, and they all quickly ate the flatbread in front of them, without a little waste.
......
......
When I returned to the student dormitory building at night, the atmosphere was not a good taste, and the children were more emotional, especially some girls, and the distress was directly written on their faces.
At this time, Li Yun looked at them and said.
"Now you understand? It's not that they don't want to work hard to live, they work hard enough, they are diligent enough, but the natural lack of resources doesn't allow them to live here well, they are trying hard to live..."
Fang Qing pursed her lips and didn't refute, what she said was right, it was already very difficult to even survive here, and it couldn't be said that the villagers didn't work, it was not easy to dig food in this barren land, and they could only grow potatoes and other things, but the land situation here was too special, and even the land for planting potatoes was pitiful.
The main business used to make a living is the textile industry and some small handicrafts, and basically the people who stay in the village rely on this hand to support their families.
"But... If they really can't live, can't they go out and work? If they work, it's better than staying here, people have to look forward, the environment here is so bad... If you go outside, at least you can still live a good life..."
"What is a hometown, there is a township and a home, this concept is very difficult to change in the eyes of the older generation, do you think no one has said this? besides, these old people who have no skills, how can they survive after leaving the village? It is better to stick to their own land, their hometown, at least there is a thought..."
For example, many young people here have not left because they want to take care of the old people in the village, and if they leave, if the old and weak people in the village do not have young people who go to fetch water, then everything will really be over, and they can only die of thirst, and the inheritance will be cut off in this generation.
Fang Qing hesitated for a moment, and those firm elite thoughts in his heart were faintly shaken...
With all kinds of moods, these students went to sleep, but the first day was so worrying that they didn't even have the mood to say that they wanted to read at night.
In the faculty and staff, Bai Shen Li Yun and the teacher slept in the same room.
"I don't know your name yet, but you taught those children a lot today, thank you. The teacher said with a smile.
"The poor road is called the cloud, the master of the Sanqing view, this is the junior brother of the poor road. Li Yun said.
When he heard Sanqingguan, the teacher was slightly stunned and said, "Sanqingguan, as if I have heard of it, is it quite famous... Well, it doesn't matter, my name is Niu Zhiwei, you can call me Lao Niu, I am the geography teacher of these children. ”
"Teacher Niu..."Li Yun looked at Niu Zhiwei, paused, and said, "Do you think there are some problems with the climate here?"
When it came to geography, Mr. Niu Zhiwei was energetic and cheered up.
"It's not just a problem here, it's a big problem, science has no way to explain it, the climate here is obviously pleasant, the standard southern climate, but there is no groundwater here, and precipitation is scarce, which is as mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle here, incredible. ”
"It's like... It's as if something is droughting this area, it's not scientific at all... Well, you probably didn't know that a few years ago when you walked into science. Niu Zhiwei said with a complaining face, full of desire to complain about this approach to science.
Li Yun was stunned, nodded, and deeply agreed with Niu Zhiwei's feelings.
Only Bai Shen next to him listened to the unknown why, what is the stalk of approaching science.
"The so-called approaching science is a horror and suspense popular science program - mainly pretending to be a ghost, as well as pretentiousness, and the highlight is a fake..."
"Yes, I still remember that when the column group that approached science came, it was a problem of water, and after creating a terrifying atmosphere, I concluded that this is a magnetic field problem, I really don't know what earth's magnetic field can make this area dry and not rain, really anything can be classified as a magnetic field, I am really convinced. Niu Zhiwei continued to complain.
Indeed, it is funny to approach science in front of many professionals, and most people look at it as horror and suspense programs, after all, the supernatural and terrifying atmosphere is quite good...
After chatting for a while, the time was not early, Niu Zhiwei said that he went to bed early, and Li Yun and Bai Shen also slept here, but unlike Niu Zhiwei, his Xintong chat channel was still open.
"One thing that is right about science is that there is something unknown that is affecting this place, making the rainfall here extremely scarce, I can feel it. ”
Li Yun groaned, the law behind him cooperated with the god of the Eastern Emperor Bell, scanning this village, there is a power different from the spiritual sea affecting this land, very weak, but absolutely exists, which power is warm with violence, and there is a trace of vastness in the violence, although it is weak, but it is really a strange power.
Bai Shen also felt it, exactly like Li Yun, he could feel a very faint fluctuation, and he didn't know where it came from.
"Hmm... A familiar power, a power I've seen, but I haven't taken it to heart..."
Listening to Bai Shen's words, Li Yun closed his eyes, and the spiritual sea on his body agitated.
"Whatever the power, try it tomorrow morning..."
...
The next morning, the sky was slightly bright, Li Yun and Bai Shen had already gotten up, these top students were still half-asleep, and they were usually used to getting up at six o'clock, and they would never get up early with Li Yun.
In the whole village, Li Yun was the first to get up.
After getting up, Li Yun went directly to the roof, greeted the morning wind, with sand, a little cool, and it was actually quite comfortable to pat on his face.
"It doesn't look like an arid area..."
"I probably guessed what you're going to do..."Bai Shen yawned and set up a barrier around Li Yun, and the outside world wouldn't notice anything Li Yun wanted to do within the barrier.
Li Yun raised his hands flat, and the strong spiritual sea fluctuations shone around, dyeing his body golden, and the three eyes on his forehead were directly opened at this time, which was used to coordinate the spiritual sea fluctuations around his body.
The eyes were ruthless and affectionate, the law overlapped on the body, and one finger pointed to the sky, and the swirling rain clouds condensed and circulated in the sky.
Clouds and howling winds obscured the sky...
The shadows cover the sun, the ravens swallow the sky, and they look like they are on the eve of a rainstorm...
"Tempest, summoned!"
Calling for wind and rain, the sea of spirits leads to the sky——
