Chapter 198: The Best Old Lady of the Farm (23)
Qingyun County, Mujia Village
At this time, it has been dry for more than two months, nearly three months, the river on the edge of the village has basically dried up, and it is almost visible to the end.
Look for the rain charm.
Qiao Mu's original plan was indeed very good, leaving the rain charm to the village chief, and then waiting until the drought here was dry, let the village chief set up an altar, and then tear the rain charm, it would rain within a radius of 100 miles, and walk a little more, then the drought in this area would be initially alleviated.
Two months ago, the old village chief got up at night to go to the toilet, accidentally fell, and fell directly with his head down, and smashed his head with a bang, if he found it in time, maybe he could save it, but everyone was sleeping, no one found it at all, and when he got up in the morning when his daughter-in-law found out, the village chief's body was already cold, and he could only do the funeral in a hurry.
When the village chief just died, although the village elders felt a little pity, they didn't think about the rain talisman for a while, after all, this thing is not the time to be used, how can they always think about it.
After two months of dryness, when the crops in everyone's fields were about to die, the village elder remembered that the old village chief still had such a good thing as a rain suit in his hand, and at the same time thought that the old village chief would definitely hand over the things to the current village chief, so he immediately went to the current village chief's house and asked the village chief to use the rain charm.
But the old village chief didn't tell his son the news of the rain charm at all because he felt that he was still in good health, and later after he died in an accident, it was even more impossible to tell his son the news in a dream, so the current village chief didn't know anything about the rain charm, and he might not even know as much as these village elders.
So, the village elder who only spoke was a little confused, so he sent him away with a perfunctory sentence, and then continued to dig ditches with the young people in the village, paid people to help dig wells and drain water, and tried every means to get through the difficulties.
The village elder who went to make the request didn't listen to the perfunctory meaning of the village chief, and thought that he agreed, but just wanted to pick a time, so he went back and waited slowly, waiting for him to beg for rain.
This is more than half a month.
The current village chief still has no sign of asking for rain, and he hasn't even prepared sacrifices or anything, so the village elder is in a hurry, and quickly calls all the other village elders in the village who know, and takes them to the village chief's house together, forcing the current village chief to take out the rain charm, even if he doesn't want to ask for rain, then they can come by themselves, anyway, they haven't seen the old village chief use the rain charm, as long as they tear their hands.
The village chief didn't comply, and even said that they were old and confused, etc., and the two sides naturally got into trouble.
Seven or eight old people over sixty years old went to the village chief's house and wanted to turn over the things of the village chief's house, even the village chief did not dare to stop him desperately, so he could only persuade on the side, and at the same time try to call the descendants of those village families and ask them to persuade their old people and let them stop tossing around.
"Damn, where did that guy Mu Datou put the rain talisman? I can't turn it around everywhere, and I don't know how to tell my son the news when I'm dead, and it's like this. ”
Mu Yifei rummaged through the house where the old village chief stayed for a while, but he didn't find the rain charm, he couldn't stand it when he was tired, so he could only collapse to the ground and complain loudly, almost cursing the old village chief when the old guy died.
"Yifei, we can't continue to look like this, we have to let Ergui remember where his father likes to hide things, where he never lets him rummage around, etc.
It's so messy to find when.
And our current behavior seems to be considered trespassing, right, I heard that even if the trespasser is killed on the spot, the main family is not guilty, why don't we quit and talk about it? ”
Another village elder also felt that it was really not a matter of just looking for it blindly, and he still had to get some detailed information from the village chief in order to be more conducive to them finding the rain charms they wanted.
"How dare he?
I'm standing here, I want to see if he dares to beat me to death on the spot, the ancestral family law is written by Bai Libai, but it's really not a matter of looking for it so blindly, Ergui, Ergui, where did you stinky boy go? I have something to ask you! ”
Mu Yifei first said a few words angrily, and then shouted loudly and called the village chief in.
Village Chief Mu Ergui was standing at the door of the house at this time, smiled bitterly, and asked the people around him:
"Can't you bring your old man back? How can there be such a blind toss?
I am the village chief, not an immortal.
What's the mess of asking for rain charms or something, I don't know what it is, is this going to drive me to death or what's wrong? I am the head of a village, how can I be qualified to build an altar to pray for rain! ”
"Village chief, you should be tired and persuade you.
The old man is so old, where do we dare to persuade him, the ironwood crutch he is holding in his hand is very heavy, and if he goes down with a crutch, he will be lame at least and fractured at worst, and we can't stand it.
Besides, our village elders firmly believe that you have that rain charm, maybe you can really have it, or your father has it, after all, the village elders of a village may be confused, but it is impossible for the entire village to be confused.
Or you reminisce about the memories. ”
Mu Yifei's second son, Mu Lingran, listened to the words of the village chief and waved his hand again and again, refusing, he is not the opponent of their old man, and there is no way to persuade him, a little persuasion is unfilial piety.
I really can't mess with it.
"Where did I get that magic thing?
If I had an artifact that could make rain, I would have used it a long time ago, so why would I wait until now? ”
Although Mu Ergui was helpless, the village elders in the house couldn't ignore it, so he could only enter his father's house and discuss with the old men in the house in a good voice, hoping that they would go out.
Mu Yifei, of course they won't go.
Directly stopped the village chief, forced him to ask all the information he knew, so while asking for information, rummaging, forced to ask for seven or eight information, after turning over seven or eight places, they finally found a small wooden box in the gap between the two bricks at the head of the bed, and successfully knocked the lock on the wooden box with a small hammer, and found the rain charm in the wooden box.
"Found it, finally found it.
Our village has been saved, and the treasures left by Chun Geng's mother have not been lost, hurry, let's go out and ask for rain, we can't delay any longer. ”
After Mu Yifei found that the wooden box was full of rain charms, he immediately ran out excitedly holding the rain charms, and just ran to an open space outside the house, he quickly found one out of the pile of rain charms, and re-closed the lid of the box, then knelt on the ground respectfully, muttering some words like Haotian God blessing, and then tore open the rain charm and began to look at the sky.
What he did, the onlookers saw it, and the village chief who came out with him also saw it, and just when everyone wanted to persuade the old man not to go crazy anymore, the sky suddenly covered the top.
A minute later, the rain poured down.
At this moment, everyone's faces were wonderful, on the one hand, they were happy, on the other hand, they were surprised, and they were a little shocked, surprised by the rain, shocked that the rain seemed to have something to do with the rain charm.
Otherwise, how to explain that after a while of tearing up, it was pouring rain in the sky.
