Chapter 264: Nourishing All Things
The raindrops that fall from the sky turn into torrential rain almost instantly.
For the earth that has cracked due to drought, this heavy rain is like an elixir that can soothe wounds, and restore the land of Shenzhou to vitality again.
After a long time, until the rain was almost enough to meet the needs of the nearby farmland and river, the snake stopped singing in a low voice.
"Two benefactors, that's enough rain, isn't it?" asked the snake in a low voice.
"Well, that's pretty much it, and any more of it is likely to become a flood again......" Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"Well done...... Although it is said to be a calamity that can cause floods, if used wisely, it can actually benefit mankind......" Qin Zhongyu also said happily.
"That...... Thank you......" When Qin Zhongyu said this, the snake's face turned a little crimson.
"What's wrong?, are you feeling unwell?" Qin Zhongyu hurriedly asked.
"I didn't ...... It's just ......," the snake still dared to whisper in a very small voice, "Humans have always seen me as a symbol of calamity, and this is the first time I've heard you say that......"
"Really? haha...... That's true, isn't that wrong...... It's just that people didn't know you well enough before......"
Then Qin Zhongyu continued: "Originally, good and evil, good and bad, such things are not absolute...... What's more, you just have some special abilities, as long as you can use them reasonably, there will be no problems......"
"Hmm......" The snake nodded and laughed.
"Zhong Yu, this rain has wet my clothes...... I'm going back to the palace to bathe and change clothes......" At this time, Ying Zheng, who saw that the precipitation had been enough, also said to Qin Zhongyu.
"Ah...... is also ...... "Although he knew that the rain could not have any effect on Ying Zheng's body, Qin Zhongyu still felt a little love when he saw Ying Zheng drenched in the rain.
However, after taking a closer look, Qin Zhongyu found that Ying Zheng, who was already dressed cooler because of the hot weather, seemed to be even sexier after being wet in the rain. The already light clothes were close to the body, completely outlining Yingzheng's proud lines, which made Qin Zhongyu can't help but take a few more looks.
"Hmm...... Zhong Yu, do you like this, is this more tempting than to strip naked?" Ying Zheng immediately said with a sense of understanding.
"I didn't ...... Nope...... I'm just observing how the physical properties of the clothes change when they are soaked in water......," Qin Zhongyu argued.
"Why are you so unfrank again? I still used to do my hands and feet before......"
"That's because I've won against Qiqi before, so I'm so excited...... I forgot that there were other people here......"
"Puff ......" Seeing Qin Zhongyu and Ying Zheng flirting and scolding, the snake also laughed.
However, because of the laughter of the snake, the rainstorm suddenly became more violent, which made the snake's voice only come out halfway, and immediately like a child who said the wrong thing, he hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Snake...... You don't have to be so restrained, after so many days of drought, the entire rivers and lakes in the south have almost bottomed out, and it is impossible to fill it up with such a little rain, let alone any floods......" Seeing the appearance of the snake, Ying Zheng was also comforted.
"It's just, you don't have to be so inhibited, and thank you so much this time...... Not only the rain, but also when I was fighting just now, if it wasn't for you flying with me, I really wouldn't have been able to sneak up on Qiqi......" Qin Zhongyu also said gratefully.
was praised by Qin Zhongyu like this, and the snake's face turned red again.
"Anyway, this disaster has been solved smoothly, so let's say goodbye...... I'm going back to the palace......" Ying Zheng said to the snake again.
This time, however, the snake kept shaking its head.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhongyu asked.
"Can you ...... Let me...... Stay?" said the snake as he gestured, as if he was afraid that the other party would not hear clearly.
"Hmm......"
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Zhongyu, and Qin Zhongyu also looked at Ying Zheng.
"Zhong Yu, you decide......" Ying Zheng said.
So Qin Zhongyu said, "Of course, you are welcome to stay with us, but can you tell us the reason?"
"Because...... You're the only ones who don't see me as a symbol of calamity...... So I don't know if it's okay...... Of course, if it doesn't work, that's okay...... You are my benefactors, there is no need to do anything for me anymore...... And as long as I don't speak, it won't cause a flood ......"
The snake continued to speak softly, and it was unknown whether she was afraid of causing an excessively turbulent flood, or if she was a little embarrassed, but her voice became quieter.
"Is that so?" Qin Zhongyu suddenly thought, "Actually, this snake is super talkative...... It's just because I'm worried about a flood that I've been suppressing my nature, right? A person who wants to talk but can't speak, it must be very painful...... right?"
"And if you can't speak, then there will be problems in communicating with people, and if you don't communicate, then you will be more likely to be misunderstood, no wonder you will be regarded as a fierce beast that caused the flood...... Obviously I am still very kind in my heart......"
The more Qin Zhongyu thought about it, the more he felt that the snake was very pitiful.
"Hmm...... That's what you said......" So Qin Zhongyu also said to Ying Zheng, "Just leave her in the Mountains and Rivers Society, so that even if she speaks, there will be no problem...... Even if there is a flood, it will not affect other people......"
"Hmph, I knew you were going to be a good old man again...... I will definitely want to keep her......" Ying Zheng actually complained a little jealously, "Zhong Yu...... As long as the face is good, it doesn't matter what the lower half of the body is?"
"Uh...... I'm not Xu Xian!I don't have that hobby!" Qin Zhongyu hurriedly denied.
And the snake also shook its head again and again, looking anxious to defend itself, but afraid that the noise would be too loud and cause the flood to come.
"Okay, okay, who told me to spoil you......"
Ying Zheng also spread his hands helplessly, and then said to the snake, "You just stay in my mountains and rivers community map, there are big enough rivers, lakes and seas there, you can talk as much as you want...... If you want a place to live, I can also have someone build you a villa that can float on the water, so that you don't have to live in a place because of the floods......"
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Snake whispered again.
So Yingzheng once again unfolded the map of the mountains and rivers and included the snake in it.
"Then let's go back too......"
"Hmmm......"
"I'll sit back on that one. ”
"Uh......"
Qin Zhongyu said excitedly when he saw Ying Zheng pointing to the mechanism made by Mozi and Mo Xi before.
