Chapter 68: The Rainstorm

After the fight, Lao Gao and several of them were injured a little, Fang Daping wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to the group: "What's the matter, can you still talk?" ”

The slender man was lucky not to be selected by Lu Yu, and now he can still stand upright. After listening to Fang Daping's question, the slender man hurriedly said, "You can talk, you can talk, but our head only came over in the evening, and a few of us have to wait." ”

These people, if they don't get beaten, don't know what it means to speak well.

Fang Daping and Lu Yu discussed it for a while, and decided to wait here, wait for their leader to come over, and then discuss how to distribute the stream. Because Lu Yu has shown his might, the few people here naturally have a lot more right to speak.

But several people did not wait for the evening to go back, because at noon, it suddenly rained.

There was no sign of this rain. Almost instantly, dark clouds poured out from all directions, covering the entire canopy of the sky, and the day turned into night.

Then a few bolts of lightning streaked across the pitch-black sky, and thunder appeared in every direction, and as soon as the thunder fell, a raindrop of chestnuts fell.

The rain was so sudden that everyone was stunned, and it took a while for someone to react before they began to cheer and shout.

Fang Daping was already young, but this sudden heavy rain still taught him to be ecstatic. Lao Gao and them too, several men in Yangshan Village couldn't help but cheer and roar, Sun Daqing even took off his shirt and looked up to the sky and roared.

The opposite village of Sihe (a union of four villages) seemed to have forgotten the brawl not long ago, they were all crazy, yelling, jumping, some people squatted down and hugged their heads and cried, and some even knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing and praying.

Lu Yu was also very happy, he was so happy. Although this rain came a little late, it finally came, and everyone didn't have to worry about being thirsty to death for the time being.

Everyone went out into the mountains and forests, and everyone wanted to go home quickly. When it rains, the stream doesn't matter anymore, and you don't have to fight for it.

The land in the mountains and forests soon became moist, damp and muddy. Lu Yu and the others were so happy, so happy, they couldn't even walk steadily. Lu Yu was okay, and the other people all fell several times all the way back, and their bodies and faces were covered with muddy water. Behind the muddy water, they couldn't hide their happy smiles.

When Lu Yu returned home, the rain had not stopped, and he saw that the Yan family had moved out the pots and pans and urns at home, and they were all frightened by the drought.

The air became fresher, and the little heat left over from early autumn was completely cleared. The rain was so heavy that the whole land soon accumulated a layer of water, and a Yangshan village seemed to become a village on the water.

The surrounding ponds, reservoirs, and village wells were rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the thirsty and almost withered world came back to life in an instant.

Lu Yu also followed Yan Xi'an and they cheered for a while, and then remembered the vegetable garden in the backyard. The heavy rain had already washed away the ridges in the vegetable balls, and some unripe tomatoes and peppers were knocked down by the rain. Lu Yu picked up the vegetables that had been knocked to the ground, and as soon as he got home, Lao Gao came over.

Lao Gao came to pick up his son Xiaocai, in the past few days, Xiaocai has been at Lu Yu's house, and he is reading and reading in vain. Xiaocai also followed Yan Xi'an and they were fiddling with the jars outside, and they were already drenched and soaked.

Lu Yu handed over all the tomatoes he picked to Lao Gao and asked him to take them back to eat. Lu Yu suddenly found that Lao Gao had lost a lot of weight recently and darkened a lot. This year's situation is even worse than last year's, and there is no way to hunt, so the situation of Lao Gao's family is not very good. Lao Gao's family of three all ate and lived in his house, if it wasn't for the fact that he had bought a lot of rice and grain at Lu Yu's advice before, he would have run out of food at this time.

Lao Gao's sister has been pampered since she was a child, and when she grows up, she marries into the city and doesn't know any farm work. As for his brother-in-law, although he is a little better than a woman, he can't help much. This everyone's burden is on Lao Gao's shoulders, and Lao Gao, who was originally cheerful and talkative, seems to have been silent a lot recently.

Lu Yu left Lao Gao to sit at home for a while, saying that he would cook by himself and let his father and son also have a meal here, but Lao Gao did not refuse.

This time, Lu Yu didn't let Mrs. Yan help, and cooked a big pot of rice by himself. There is no meat at home, so Lu Yu can only fry a few vegetarian dishes, and he can only use green vegetables and tomatoes to cook soup.

I don't know if Lao Gao hasn't eaten enough for a long time, he ate three bowls of rice in a row, and asked Lu Yu if there was enough food at home while eating. Lu Yu said that it was enough, and he bought a lot of rice in the spring.

After eating, Lao Gao sat at Lu Yu's house for a while, and he asked a few words about how Xiaocai was studying.

He said that his son was very smart and a quick learner.

Lao Gao smiled, thanked him for a few words, and said: "I don't expect this kid to be famous, I just want him to live a better life in the future, don't be as confused as me." ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Old Gao, where are you confused." ”

"Alas, I'm tired all year round, and I'm almost out of food, so it's not confusing."

Lu Yu didn't speak, waiting for Lao Gao to continue.

"During that hunting, you and Lu Yu both said that they wanted me to buy some rice first. Hehe, fortunately, I paid for ten stones, otherwise my family would have run out of food. ”

Lao Gao said again: "If the year is good and the family has enough food, I won't say anything." But I have to buy rice, and my sister doesn't know about it, but they ......."

Lu Yu saw that Yan Jibai's face on the side seemed to change, and hurriedly said, "This is indeed a bit ...... I bought rice this year, and it was still the money from Brother Yan. ”

Yan Yubai smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yu, don't talk for me, I haven't come to your house this year, but I haven't come out with half a copper plate." ”

Lao Gao sighed: "Look at you, people who have read books are different. You say that it is useless to keep the money at this age, but they are not willing to give half of it to buy food. Now I still want to buy some food, but where else can I buy half a grain of rice? ”

Lao Gao nagged a few more words, and finally felt a little embarrassed, and got up to go back. Lu Yu stuffed the tomatoes he picked in the afternoon and asked him to take them back.

After Lao Gao and Xiaocai left, Yan Yubai sighed and asked Lu Yu: "Brother Yu, can't you buy food now?" ”

"It's a bit difficult." Lu Yu said again: "Brother Yan, don't worry, this rain is still falling, and you will definitely be able to go into the mountains to hunt in two days." ”

Yan Jibai said: "The last time I went to Xihuang Village, I also bought some rice to bring over, and although the price of grain was high at that time, I could still buy it. He seemed to regret it again, and felt that he should not have gone to Xihuang Village.

After a while, Yan Xi'an's sister and brother came over and asked Lu Yu when he would go hunting.

The heavy rain outside has not stopped, the rain is quiet, and there is a strong autumn wind.

Lu Yu said: "In two days, I don't know how long it will rain this time." ”

Yan Xiding said: "Okay, anyway, you must call me with you when the time comes." ”

Yan Xi'an looked at Lu Yu and suddenly said, "Uncle, why is there a wound on your face?" ”

"Are you hurt?" Lu Yu remembered that when he fought in the morning, he did get a few punches, but he didn't expect to have scars on his face.

Yan Xi'an pointed to Lu Yu's face and said, "Uncle, you seem to be green here, have you fought?" ”

Lu Yu didn't plan to tell them about today's fight, but seeing that Yan Xi'an had found out, he had no choice but to tell them about the fight in the morning. After finishing speaking, seeing that Yan's family was worried, he said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Yan Xi'an frowned: "You see that your face is blue, and you still say it's okay." ”

Lu Yu thought to himself: "I just want to see it, but I can't see it, and there is no mirror at home." ”

However, Yan Xiding had already run back to the room and came out with a small bronze mirror.

Lu Yu took the mirror, took a look, and found that there was indeed a piece of skin under his left eye socket that was slightly blue, this cyan was actually very light, because the skin on his face was too white, so this cyan looked obvious.

Immediately, Lu Yu felt strange again: "How did you become so white?" Last time, Lao Gao said that he had become a lot whiter and younger, could it be because of his practice, he would really 'rejuvenate' or something? Thinking of this, Lu Yu was a little happy, he didn't expect immortality, but it seemed that he would definitely be able to live longer than ordinary people, and there seemed to be no problem in living a long life.

Seeing that Lu Yu suddenly laughed for no reason, Yan Xi'an asked him what he was laughing at.

Lu Yu looked at Yan Xiding, this kid ran out as soon as he had the opportunity, his face was originally white and clean, but he was red and black, and his complexion was far worse than his current appearance.

Lu Yu said: "Have you found out, I seem to have turned white." ”

Yan Xi'an Yan Xiding looked at Lu Yu for a while, and Yan Xi'an said, "Uncle, you are indeed much whiter." ”

"Not only is it white, but it's also younger."

Yan Xi'an asked, "Uncle, what do you use to wash your face?" ”

Lu Yu's face flushed: "I haven't washed my face for a long time." Lu Yu decided to take a good shower tonight.

"Uncle Da Yu, will you get younger and younger in the future, and then look younger than me?" Yan Xiding was worried: "At that time, I can't call you Uncle Da Yu, I want to call Brother Da Yu, Brother Da Yu." ”

Lu Yu: "......"

It was almost the middle of the night, Lu Yu and the others had fallen asleep, and then quietly went to the backyard and built a shed on the grape trellis with a tarpaulin. Lu Yu shrank in the shed and took a bath carefully.

It was still raining heavily, and Lu Yu used a spell to make it rain lightly in the shed.

I hadn't taken a bath for a long time, Lu Yu rubbed his whole body vigorously, and suddenly found that his body was slimy, and layers of black dirt were rubbed off.

Lu Yu was taken aback, thinking that even if he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, he shouldn't be so dirty. The black, sticky dirt kept coming out of the pores of the whole body, being washed away and reappearing.

It's so abnormal.

Lu Yu was disgusted by the dirt on his body, and he didn't understand why he suddenly became so dirty, and why he kept getting dirty things in his body.

After washing for more than an hour, there was finally no more black sticky dirt coming out. At this time, Lu Yu looked down and saw a layer of black greasy substance falling on the ground.
