The county magistrate put the teacup on the table with a calm face, and asked with a wooden tongue, "This is really not the news that Lord Jiang heard from Qin Tian's monitoring?" ”

Jiang Quinoa was puzzled, shook his head and denied: "No." ”

The county master's face was a little worse, and he said, "In this case, Miss Jiang should not talk nonsense about this news, it is better to cause panic." The main merit of the White Horse View is noble, the mana is strong, the beginning of the year from the hexagram even if there will be a small disaster this year, has been set to set up the altar in two days to pray for rain, when the natural wind and rain are smooth. I don't care about it this time when Miss Jiang is young, but you don't want to talk nonsense like this in the future. In addition, I will also write a letter to Master Jiang to clarify this matter. ”

When the county magistrate and his party left, Jiang Chun said hatefully: "Why is there that stinky Taoist priest of Baimaguan everywhere?" Didn't he say that he calculated that this year's wind and rain were smooth, hmph, now that he is doing this, he will change his words when the timing is wrong. I'm going to see what rain he can ask for. ”

Jiang Quinoa didn't care much, "If you can really ask for rain to alleviate this drought, I'm willing to use the money to buy him as many talismans as I want." ”

Jiang Chun, who was still angry just now, immediately vented all his anger when he heard this, thinking that he saw many people carrying water to water the ground today, and many uncles' shoulders were worn out, and they couldn't water three acres of land in a day, and the water level in the river was getting shallower and shallower, and if it continued like this, the crops would definitely be saved.

Although they felt that the character of the White Horse View was too poor, this time Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun sincerely wanted him to ask for rain.

Because of the cooperation with the government, this rain event of Baimaguan was very grand. In order to appease the people, propaganda was also done everywhere in the early stage, and a lot of people came on the day of asking for rain. Xingni followed her family to sincerely ask for rain, and the small Taoist temple was crowded with people, if it weren't for Zhao Liang pulling Xingni and Jiang Cheng tightly, they would have been washed away.

Since begging for rain, the hearts of most people have been hanged, and they look forward to rain every day, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. By June, the fields had cracked a finger's width wide, and the crops had completely dried up, and even after the heavy rain had lost hope, what Jiang Quinoa feared still happened.

Because the people of Jiangli Village knew the news at the earliest, they also made some preparations, and began to save cooking since March and April, making porridge every morning and evening, and only eating rice at noon, which allowed the family to leave some surplus food, and they still had a little confidence in their hearts. And the people in other villages were not so lucky, many people got the news at the time and laughed at the people of Jiangli Village for treating wild vegetables as a treasure, and they rushed to dig them, and now they can't even find the bark, seeing that the food at home is getting less and less day by day, and this drought does not know when it will be a head, and they suddenly began to panic in their hearts.

In July, the days became more difficult, thieves had begun to appear in the city, and the official uniforms had also strengthened patrols, because the people of Jiangli Village were still living, and some people actually came to Jiangli Village. Zhao Liang learned the news from some friends of the three religions and nine streams, and hurriedly came back to inform the patriarch and village head, so Jiangli Village also formed a guard team of young and strong men to patrol the village every night.

Jiang Tiezhu is young and strong, and he is down-to-earth, and the patriarch personally came to ask him if he wanted to join the escort team, but he refused, at such a sensitive moment, he also knew that his family was actually the focus of thieves' patronage, who let this be the official master's house.

Jiangli Village has always lived a very comfortable life, never encountered any major events, most of the people living in the village are Jiang clansmen, who are related to each other, it is not too much to say that they do not close their doors at night, although these escorts patrol every night, but in fact, they don't pay much attention, and sometimes they will go home to sleep in the second half of the night.

At the ugly moment of this day, when people's will is the weakest and sleepy, Jiang Quinoa was woken up by a dog barking, and before she could get up, Aunt Rong, who was sleeping outside the house, entered the house with a candle, and held her and sang nursery rhymes to her like when she was a child to coax her to sleep.

Jiang Quinoa wanted to get up to see the movement, but she also knew that she couldn't help much, and she probably had to be taken care of when she went out, so she obediently lay in Aunt Rong's arms and soon fell asleep.

"The dog barked very scary last night, my mother was trembling when she hugged me, and comforted me vigorously, telling me that she told me not to be afraid, in fact, I am not afraid." Jiang Chun leaned into Jiang Quino's ear as he spoke, and said in a low voice: "I, I hid a pair of scissors under the pillow, if anyone really touches in, see if I don't stab him to death." ”

Jiang Quinoa's heart trembled, thinking of Jiang Chun's extreme approach in her previous life, if she really met a thief, she might not be weak, but she still persuaded: "Why don't you move into my house with your aunt and master." It's a hot day, my house is bright, and the place is big, so it's not a problem to support two beds. We can take care of each other when we get together. ”

She still remembers her mother's trembling appearance yesterday, and Jiang Chun nodded without thinking about it: "That's good, let's sleep together, and I will protect you at night." ”

I found Aunt Rong, Wang Li's, Jiang Chun and her mother to tell me this idea, and they also thought it was good, so that everyone could take care of it at night, there were two wolf dogs in front of and behind Jiang Quinoa's room, and Jiang Tiezhu slept in a small room next to Jiang Quinoa's house, and it was enough to scream if something happened. They have all moved together, Jiang Tiezhu and they can save some trouble, and they don't have to go to several places at night to patrol the night.

This morning, Zhao Liang stared at the two big dark circles under his eyes and brought back the news from last night: "There are three or four thieves who have touched it, I heard that our village got the news early, and there is a lot of food in store, and I was also forced to be in a hurry, so I wanted to come and steal two bags of grain and go back, so as to respond to the emergency." Knowing that there were patrols in our village, I stayed up for most of the night until the ugly moment before making a move, so I stole most of the bags of rice from the family at the edge of the village. ”

Listening to this meaning, it is not a vicious thief, it is estimated that the people from the nearby village were also forced to take risks to steal things. Fortunately, no one was injured just because the food was lost.

"Your new house is also on the edge of the village, you have to pay attention at night, if you really encounter thieves, don't force yourself with them, it doesn't matter if you lose something, talent is important." Aunt Rong advised.

Zhao Liang scratched his head, his heart was warm when he was cared for like this, and said: "My house was just built, and there is nothing, Xingni's father and mother said to let me go to their house to live first, if the thief really doesn't touch it for a long time, it's okay if we don't take care of it." ”

"That's a good idea. You go to Xingni's house to live, firstly, there is a response, and secondly, the old man feels sorry for you, you have to know how to be grateful, and you will have a good time with Xingni in the future. Aunt Rong said.

Zhao Liang responded crisply: "Auntie, I know." Today, the village chief is going to rearrange the patrol team, and I will go and hear the news. After saying that, he ran away quickly.

Yesterday's patrol people were derelict in their duties and let the thieves steal things, and the owner who lost the things went to the village chief's house early this morning.
