Chapter 57: The Rain Keeps Falling
"Go home." Pei Shu still replied succinctly.
Ruan Ling hurriedly grabbed the umbrella and chased after him, walking side by side with him: "Are you just going home like this?" ”
"Or else?" Pei Shu looked ahead with an indifferent expression.
"Lord Chenghuang is missing."
"I know."
"How do you know?" Ruan Ling needed to trot to keep up with him, huddle under his umbrella to hide from the rain.
Pei Shu glanced at her: "Lord Chenghuang has always been very effective, but this time there is no movement, so it is naturally gone." Is this hard to understand? ”
"Then is there any way for you to find the City God?"
"No," Pei Shu said, "I'm just a mortal, where did I get the ability to go to Lord Chenghuang." ”
Ruan Ling looked at his handsome face, but he always felt that this person seemed to know something.
How could a mortal calmly come to the City God Temple to observe the whereabouts of the City God?
This Pei Shu ......
Who the hell is it?
Could it be that he is also a god?
But he didn't have any divine power fluctuations on his body at all, no matter how he looked at it, he was just the most ordinary mortal.
Pei Shu's image in her eyes was smeared with a layer of mystery.
Back outside the City God Temple, the Jin family was anxiously looking for her.
There are people who are out of control of their emotions everywhere, and there have been several fights, and the county lord and the conscripts are busy.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Ruan Ling waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Ruan Chengde and the others were immediately relieved when they saw her.
Jin came over, grabbed her hand, and complained, "Why have you been there for so long?" It's a mess here, Dad, let's go home first, shall we? ”
"Well, that's fine." Ruan Chengde sighed and asked his two sons and daughters-in-law to pack up the offerings and return the same way.
Jin took his daughter's hand and advised, "There are people fighting everywhere, don't run around, be careful of being abducted." ”
"Mm-hmm, mother, I know."
Ruan Ling turned around, but he couldn't see Pei Shu's figure anymore.
When he returned home, Ruan Chengde took his two sons and went to the ground in his robes.
The rain kept falling, and the whole world was damp.
The pond at the door has overflowed, but fortunately, the Ruan family's yard is on high ground, so there is no need to worry about the water spilling into the house for the time being.
There was a faint cry from the village.
It was the Wu family's wheat grain soaked in water, and it was all moldy.
The family is counting on these wheat, and all the grain is destroyed in the second half of the year, what to use to pay taxes and what to fill their stomachs?
Listening to the miserable and desperate cries, the atmosphere in the Ruan family was also very heavy.
Kim didn't even bother to sit on needlework, sitting in the hall, watching the rain and sighing.
Chen Shufeng and Hui Niang sat in the corner silently mending clothes, also worried.
Ruan Ling stood up: "Mother, I'll go out and have a look." ”
"Bring your umbrella and don't get caught in the rain." Kim advised.
"Hey, I see." Ruan Ling walked out of the house with an umbrella and walked towards the field.
She is the god of the land, and she may not have the skills of the Chenghuang to stop the rain, but she should do her duty to inspect the crops in the fields.
It was supposed to be a golden harvest scene, but now it has been beaten by wind and rain.
Vast swaths of wheat were blown down to the ground by the wind. The peasants squatted in their coats and squatted in the fields, helping the wheat up little by little.
When Ruan Ling arrived at his own land, he saw Ruan Chengde, father and son, who were also squatting in the field to help the wheat.
Seven or eight acres of wheat were almost half poured. When the ears of wheat are soaked in water, they are basically useless.
"Daddy!" Ruan Ling shouted.
Ruan Chengde straightened up and looked back.
His face was covered with water, and he couldn't tell if it was rain or tears.
