"Why don't you catch up, didn't you say you wanted to come early to find out?" Shengshang turned around and looked at Qi Shangyi, who was standing in a daze.

"Oh, here we are." Qi Shangyi hurriedly walked over.

Seeing that there was an old man and a young man not far away who were carrying buckets to water some vegetables, Qi Shangyi and Shengshang stopped, the old man watered very carefully, and refused to waste a drop of water, and watered them all on the vegetable roots.

"Old lady, is there still water for watering vegetables in the village now?" Ye Cangjue stepped forward and changed his cold tone from the past.

The old man looked up at the two of them, shook his head, lowered his head and continued to water the vegetables, "No, these are all a little water accumulated on weekdays, and the grain in the field will not grow, if these vegetables are gone, the family will starve to death." ”

"Grandma, I'm so thirsty." The child stared at the kettle on Qi Shangyi's waist and licked his tongue and said.

Qi Shangyi was stunned for a moment, took off the water bag and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Drink." ”

The old man glanced at Qi Shangyi, wiped his hand on his clothes, and politely took the kettle, "Thank you so much." As he spoke, he opened the water bag, handed it to the child's mouth and said, "Be good, drink slowly, and be careful not to spill it." ”

"Hmm." The child nodded, holding the water bag and sucking it vigorously, and the old man on the side looked at it and licked his lips.

The child finally had his fill and handed the water bag back, Qi Shangyi smiled and shook his head, "No need, you can keep it." ”

"Thank you so much." The old man smiled and put the water bag back in his arms, stood up with the empty bucket, and dragged a branch from the side to the vegetable patch to block the sunlight for the vegetables.

"Can you take us to the village?" The Holy One asked.

"Okay, I'll take you there." The old man nodded, took his grandson's hand, and walked slowly in front, and the child turned back to Qi Shangyi and smiled from time to time.

The old man walked slowly, only a mountain distance, walked for more than half an hour, the old man led them back to his home first, put down the barrel and hurried to the house, Qi Shangyi thought there was some danger, and hurriedly followed, only to find that the old man just took out the water bag in his arms and dropped a few drops on the lips of the woman who had fallen asleep on the bed, the woman immediately reacted, and after the old man fed a few more mouthfuls, the woman opened her eyes, "Mother, where did you get water?" ”

"It was given by this girl." The old man said and helped the woman up, and the woman glanced at Qi Shangyi weakly and smiled slightly, "Thank you, girl." ”

"No thanks." Qi Shangyi shook his head, then turned and retreated, if he didn't come, he would never know how severe the drought here was.

Seeing Ye Cangjue walk out, Qi Shangyi hurriedly followed, there was no one on the street, and there were incense cases and unburned paper money at many intersections, and it seemed that everyone had also begged for rain.

"Strange, why not a single prime?" Qi Shangyi looked around and said, all the way through, he saw only women, old people, and children.

"The stronger men have gone out to carry water." An old man on crutches came over and knelt down in front of the Holy Lord and Qi Shangyi, "Holy Jin'an, Priest Gui'an." ”

"Get up." The saint looked at him and said, "Where did they go to carry water?" ”

"On the other side of Liancheng Mountain, it takes about half a month to carry water every time, and the water transported is only enough for the villagers to live for about half a month," the old man said, pushing open a door next to him and leading the two inside, "Count, they are coming back soon." ”

"Is there any dead food in the village?" The saint asked.

"The ones in the valley aren't all dead yet, but if it doesn't rain anymore, I'm afraid it won't last long." The old village chief said and looked at Qi Shangyi, "I heard that the priest set up a platform for Jiangdong to ask for rain, and the grass people were very moved, but unfortunately, I am afraid that the sky will kill my Jiangdong." ”

Before coming to Jiangdong, Qi Shangyi had been congratulating himself for doing a good show with Phantom Sakura, but when he heard the old man's words, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry." ”

"The priest's body has not healed, so if he fails to pray for rain, he will find another way." Ye Cangjue said on the side.

"That is, man will win the day, even if it is the number of days, I will find a way to change it," Qi Shangyi suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go and see the situation of the rice first." ”

After saying this, Qi Shangyi walked out, and Shengshang stood up and followed her unhurriedly, and the two walked along the path towards the field. As the old village chief said, except for the fields in the valley and some grain, there is only dry grass left in the fields on the other grounds, and the occasional rice that has become shaped is all empty shells when pinched by hand.

Qi Shangyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaning against a thick tree trunk and panting, "It's so hot this day." As she spoke, she reached out and touched the water bag around her waist, and then remembered that she had given it to someone else.

"Quench your thirst with this first." At some point, the saint took the glove, condensed an ice cube in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Qi Shangyi with the ice cube in his other hand.

Qi Shangyi carefully took the ice cube, put it to her mouth and tried it, and instantly a burst of ice spread to her whole body, she looked at the saint as if she suddenly saw hope, "Since you can conjure up ice cubes, you can save the drought." ”

"I'm afraid Lone's spiritual power can't even save this village." Ye Cangjue looked into the distance and said.

Qi Shangyi puffed out his cheeks and looked elsewhere, "If we can't get water, these rice will die soon, and the people will be short of food next year." ”

"This is where Gu worries," said the saint, "and the people live on food, and if there is no food, the country will be in chaos." ”

"By the way, are there any water-based spirit beasts in the spirit beasts, let them transform into water." Qi Shangyi tilted his head sideways and said to the saint.

Hearing Qi Shangyi's words, the saint did not answer first, but looked at Qi Shangyi in a daze, from the beginning of the chat, she made a lot of simple mistakes, even if it is a fake priest, it is impossible not to know about this.

"How...... What's wrong? Qi Shangyi, who was stared at by the ice cube with such eyes, suddenly became nervous, "What did I say wrong?" ”

"Nope." The saint didn't turn his head, and sat on the ground like Qi Shangyi, "Water spirit beasts can control water, but they all absorb water from the surrounding food to use. ”

"Is there no other way?" Qi Shangyi said disappointedly, resting his chin on his knees as he spoke, and couldn't help but blame himself a little, "It would be nice if I could ask for rain." ”

The two sat straight until the sunset occupied the sky before getting up and walking back, their fingers stumbling across the withered yellow rice on both sides, Qi Shangyi gently hummed a sad tune, and the song without lyrics was imprinted into the heart of the saint one by one, evoking him to look back at her **, but finally he was worried about interrupting the song and held back.
