Chapter 205: Lead 2
Xue Ling frowned slightly, and when he said such a sentence, he naturally expected that the person would not show up.
However, a few people standing next to him pushed him in unison, "If you can speak well, go and talk to this Xue family girl with kind words." ”
"That's it, it's just a little girl's house, what are you afraid of."
In this way, among the crowd, they all gave way to a way.
A man in his thirties and forties fell into front of Xue Ling's eyes.
Xue Ling looked at it carefully, this man was mediocre in appearance, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, and belonged to the kind that was very inconspicuous in the crowd.
Of course, such a man will not be the person behind the scenes, but as long as the rhythmic and later problems in the crowd are solved, they can be handed over to Nangong Sheng and Zeng Yi to deal with.
Nangong Sheng stood in front and watched, and couldn't help nodding secretly.
The man was a little surprised, but he immediately calmed down.
"I'm also for everyone's good, since Miss Xue has the ability to pray for rain, it can be said that the capable person works hard, why not lend a hand."
After he said this, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "What's more, Miss Xue came from afar to pray for rain, and a good person will do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the west, so she can't do half of the good deeds." Or is it that the girl is obviously capable, but she is not willing to help us. ”
Xue Ling couldn't help but glance at this person a few times, no wonder Nangong Sheng also felt tricky.
This person really spoke a little eloquently, and in just a few words, Xue Ling had no way out.
The ability to fan the flames is top-notch.
Praying for rain again, no matter how difficult or easy, Xue Ling will not answer.
The way of witchcraft is an obstacle to the principles of heaven, which she has understood for a long time.
It was also the reason why she began to suspect witchcraft.
However, if she bluntly refuses, in addition to erasing her previous achievements in successfully praying for rain, it will also become a new round of catharsis for this dispute.
Xue Ling was not stupid, she sighed softly.
"It's hard to pray for rain, but it's not the hardest thing to pray for."
"I don't understand, the girl doesn't want to pray for rain, does she?" The man said.
Xue Ling raised his head and looked at the sky.
Nangong Sheng said, "What is it difficult for Miss Xue to hide? To put it bluntly. ”
Xue Ling was waiting for this sentence, she said, "I have been watching the stars for the past few days and nights, and I have found that the stars are different. ”
The man said, "Miss Xue still knows the art of astrology?" ”
"The family of the witch clan in the north and south, with the respect of the southern lineage, relies on superb witchcraft, even if this eldest brother does not leave the house and does not know the affairs of the world, I think that after praying for rain this time, no one should doubt my witchcraft." Xue Ling's words were quite arrogant, but no one refuted them.
The man was also speechless, he found that Xue Ling had deviated from the topic, but he had already exposed himself, and it would be too deliberate to pull back the topic at this time.
It is bound to arouse many suspicions.
At this time, someone had already said, "Naturally, I believe in the girl, and the girl will talk about it first, how is this celestial phenomenon different?" ”
Xue Ling sighed, "Ordinary prayer for rain can solve the great drought, but this prayer for rain is different from the past." ”
"What's the difference?" The man asked.
Xue Ling smiled coldly, "Everyone can see that the rain prayer ceremony has encountered two disturbances, although it was successful in the end, but the celestial phenomena showed a vision because of the interference, and this time the drought, if there is no accident, will last until around the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
In the crowd, the pot exploded all at once.
The vast majority of them trusted Xue Ling's words very much.
"Is it because the Zeng family has angered Providence?"
An old man asked tentatively.
"That's right," Xue Ling said, "As a local witch clan, the head of the Zeng family has no reverence for praying for rain, so that's all, it is true that he has bad intentions and destroys praying for rain."
。 ”
Sure enough, the people began to blame the Zeng family.
Xue Ling sighed and said, "Even if I have the ability, I can't disobey the will of heaven." ”
"How's that okay?"
"There's still so much time, but what's the matter?"
Dejected, one after another.
Xue Ling was silent for a while before saying, "Digging a ditch to drink water is the only way out, and now that nearly half of the channel has been dug up, what is the difference between you and the head of the Zeng family if you give up at this time?" After all, I'm just a distant traveler, and I'm going to leave in a few days, and no one or anything in the Northland has anything to do with me. And you guys are different. ”
Xue Ling stopped partially, looked at everyone else, and then continued, "Everyone here who dug ditches for the benefit of you, don't you want to pay such a little bit of hard work for yourself and your family?" ”
A lot of people didn't speak, thoughtful.
The man saw that the momentum was not good, and he couldn't care so much, "The girl is talking so much, I don't think I'm willing to pray for rain for the north." ”
Xue Ling sneered, "A few days ago, you didn't know about the rain, didn't everyone know?" In other words, is this big brother so unusual, unwilling to dig a ditch? Or, like the Zeng family, there are other hidden secrets and ulterior motives. ”
Xue Ling asked rhetorically.
"No," the man instinctively retorted.
Xue Ling didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, "There are still people who don't want to dig ditches, now you can stand up, the emperor's eldest grandson cares about the world, and comes to the north to dig ditches to drink water, and you can't do anything difficult for a strong man, if you don't want to, report your name, set up a note, how dry it will be in the future, and you don't need the water from the channel, you can leave." ”
All of them were silent, and they were silent all of a sudden, and some questions were asked bluntly, and naturally there was no way to answer them.
And once such a document is established, there is no way back.
But the man quickly reacted, "There is a better way now, why dig ditches, we can save our energy and do more meaningful things, don't we?" ”
Xue Ling said, "What this big brother said is reasonable, but you talk about it first, what is more meaningful?" ”
The man was asked like this, naturally he couldn't answer, he was a little annoyed and angry, and began to mess around, "Is the girl unwilling to pray for rain?" So there are so many reasons to pull it out. ”
This sentence obviously does not have the strength of the bell at the beginning.
There was a lot of talk at the bottom.
Xue Ling said, "As far as I know, the local Wu people enjoy the best substances, even if there is no rain, they can also carry water from a distance to drink, because they don't have to worry about farming, which is also the reason why some Wu people don't care about this matter, but you are different, this matter is related to your harvest, and this big brother doesn't care, I want to ask, where does this big brother's family live, how many people are in the family?" ”
The man was asked by Xue Ling, and his expression changed slightly, "The little girl is here to ask for rain, not to check the household." ”
Nangong Sheng raised his hand, "Stop, Miss Xue has come thousands of miles away, don't be so slack." ”
