Chapter 330: Heaven's Will
The next day, the weather was still as clear.
In the morning, the people of the Zhou family got up very early, and today Zhou Changcun is going to the town to order something, after all, he is also a serious family member now.
Wang helped Zhou Changcun get dressed, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.
When he was about to go out, Zhou Changcun was still nervous, "I went there, how should I act?" β
Zhou Ziyi pursed her lips and snickered, "You can do what you have to do, you are hand-picked by the officials, and they don't dare to ask you to flatter." As for the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes, don't you know everything? β
"Eldest sister is right, Dad, you are still working at home as usual."
Zhou Changcun was a little relieved at this time, and called Gu Zhong to drive to the town.
After sending Zhou Changcun away, before the family could turn around, they saw an ox cart coming from the entrance of the village. Li Zheng and the clan elders in the village all greeted him.
Zhou Ziyi was stunned, "Who is coming?" β
"It's the master of the village who invited him to ask for rain." Wang said.
"Asking for rain?" Zhou Ziyi, a modern person, does not believe in this kind of god and ghost thing, it is too unscientific.
But Wang was very convinced, and hurriedly turned around and went back, "I'll go to the house to get some tokens, and I'll help you ask for it." β
Zhou Ziyi didn't have anything to do now anyway, so she said, "I'll go too." β
The place to ask for rain was still held in the ancestral hall of Xinghua Village, and when Zhou Ziyi followed the Wang family, many people had already come.
The big guys all reverently held the tokens of each family, and stood below one by one, looking at the so-called masters above.
The master is dressed as a Taoist priest, with two goatees, slightly smaller eyes, and how to look at it.
But the big guys can't see it, and Li Zheng is even more pious, one by one, "Master, can you help us see, when will it rain?" β
The master stroked his beard and pinched his fingers before sighing, "This...... You have to ask God to find out the details. β

"Then please ask the master to help us ask?" Everyone hurriedly said.
The master looked compassionate, "Don't worry, big guy, since I promised to come and help you ask for rain in your village, I will definitely help you try my best." It's just that the altar I want I don't know if it's ready? β
"Ready!" Li Zheng hurriedly walked over and lifted the altar covered with a yellow cloth on one side, "This is prepared according to your request, Master. β
Zhou Ziyi glanced at it and went like one.
On top of the altar, a bucket of white rice, a bucket of white flour, and a bucket of sweet potatoes. Each one was full, and not only that, but in the middle of the altar there was a plate, all of which was silver, or at least two or three hangings.
She's never seen anyone begging for rain like this?
Just as he was thinking, the Taoist priest had already sat down in front of the altar, shook the dust in his hand and began to chant words.
The villagers who came to watch also quickly knelt down together, and they all lowered their heads and raised the tokens in their hands to pray together.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyi hurriedly stepped aside and stared coldly at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest thought that he had also seen her gaze, so he hurriedly closed his eyes and ignored it.
After a few moments, the Taoist priest stopped. Li Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, how is it?" What is the will of God? β
The Taoist priest shook his head, "Hey, you Xinghua Village has offended the heavens, and I think this drought will not stop for three years." β
"Huh?" Li Zheng was frightened, and the villagers were also frightened. "What can I do? Master, you must save us! β
