Zhu Bajie hurriedly put down the sweet potato in his hand and said to the old man: "Old man, I'm really sorry, my old pig doesn't know that this is your remaining rations." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "This fat elder, you can eat it if you want, if you don't eat it, this food will still be gone in two days, and living two more days will be a late death for our grandfather and grandson." ”

"Old man, you are like this, don't you county marquis care?" asked Sun Wukong.

"Anyway, no matter what, at the beginning, the county marquis would send people to send some food to every family, so that we could spend our days, and told us that life would be better. The old man replied.

"Didn't you care about you later?" asked Sun Wukong again.

"Hey, there's no way, it's not raining this day, even the food in the city is starting to be tight, of course the county marquis can't help it, and we all understand. The old man said.

"Doesn't he want to think about it, after all, old man, you are also his people. Tang Seng asked.

"It's not raining, what is the way to make it rain, and the county marquis is not without asking people to ask for rain, a small field a day, a big field in three days, how many capable people have been invited to ask for rain, but the sun is still shining on this day, and there is no intention of raining at all. The old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Wukong, aren't your skills very strong, so have you ever known this rain technique?" Tang Seng turned to Sun Wukong and asked.

"Oh, could it be that this little elder will also beg for rain?" the old man looked at Sun Wukong in surprise.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said to Tang Seng: "Master, the art of rain, don't say it's my old grandson, Bajie, Sha Seng and Shi Zong will also do it, we can indeed summon a rain cloud with mana, but it can only go down a few miles, Fengxian County is so big, not to mention hundreds of miles, we are afraid that even if the mana is exhausted, it will only go down dozens of miles." Besides, we still have to hurry, even if it rains for them for dozens of miles, but what about after we leave?"

"Master, what the senior brother said is right. Sha Seng nodded to Tang Seng.

"Ask a few elders to save us Fengxian County, the old man has kowtowed to you. Hearing this, the old man sitting on the kang pulled the little boy in his arms and knelt down and said to a few people.

"Old man, please get up. Tang Seng hurriedly picked up the old man, turned to Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, and Mr. Shi, you can help them, just a little bit if you can." ”

"Sanzang, it's not that I don't want to help, it's useless to help, even if we cast a spell to make some rain, it's actually useless, the land here has not fallen for three years, even if it rains, the rain will be sucked dry by this arid land, there is no way at all. Shi Jian spread his hands and said.

"Master, what Chief Shi said is right, even if we can't do anything, unless he can resume the rain here, our spell casting will be useless at all. Sha Seng said to Tang Seng.

"Master, don't worry, we will definitely help this rain, but my old grandson always thinks that I have to go to the county town first to see what the county marquis is talking about. Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng with a smile on his face.

"You monkey head, you still go to see the county marquis when it rains, what are you going to do to see the county marquis?" Tang Seng was puzzled.

"Elder, don't force this little elder, just go to the county town to have a look, you will know that the old man has not lied to you when you go to the county town. The old man on the side hugged the little boy and said.

"Old man, don't worry, we will make it rain in Fengxian County. After Tang Seng finished speaking to the old man, he said to everyone: "Apprentices, Chief Shi, let's go now and go to Fengxian County to have a look." ”

Everyone nodded, and under the eyes of the old man and the little boy, everyone left the old man's house and walked towards Fengxian County.

Looking at the old man standing at the door watching himself and the others leave, Shi Jian wanted to take out some food from the consciousness space and give it to him, but Shi Jian held back.

After stopping for a long time, Shi Jian sighed, turned around and left with Tang Seng and the others, and walked towards Fengxian County.

Everyone came to Fengxian County, which should have been prosperous in Tianzhuwai County, but now they only see civil desolation and deserted streets. At first glance, there were only a few people in the streets, and it was deserted to the extreme, and there were no soldiers guarding the city gates.

Everyone sighed when they looked at the scene in front of them, even in the county town, not to mention the people around them.

Everyone walked towards Fengxian County.

Not long after entering Fengxian County, everyone suddenly heard a sound of gongs and drums, and then an official led a pair of soldiers to a wall and posted a notice on it.

After posting the notice, the official shouted to the people around him: "Come and see, everyone, if any of you can help the county to get rain, the county marquis will definitely not be stingy." ”

As soon as the official's voice fell, the surrounding people suddenly gathered around.

"Sanzang, let's go and see what is written on the notice. Shi Jian said to Tang Seng on the side.

"Good. Tang Seng nodded and walked over with everyone.

Looking at the words on the notice, Tang Seng read: "The Marquis of Fengxian County of the Great Tianzhu Kingdom." Recruit a Master for the example, and ask for a great Dharma matter. Ciyin County has a wide land, the army and the people are solid, there is a drought for many years, the tired years are dry, the people's fields are thin and the army is thin, the river is shallow and the ditch is empty. There is no water in the well, and there is no water at the bottom of the spring. The rich talk about the whole life, but the poor people find it difficult to live. The price of 100 gold is 5 taels of salary. A ten-year-old woman is easy to get three liters, and a five-year-old man is brought with him. In the city, they fear the law and pawn clothes to survive, and in the countryside, they bully the public, rob and eat people and care for their lives. For this reason, he gave the list of essays, looked up to the sages of the ten directions, prayed for rain to save the people, and repaid his kindness. I am willing to thank you with a thousand gold, and I will never lie. Those who must be on the list. ”

"Wukong, it seems that the marquis of Fengxian County is really as the old man said, he is a good official who loves the people like a son. Tang Seng said to Sun Wukong beside him.

"Yes, if this proclamation is true, then this county marquis is also a good official. Sun Wukong said in a low voice.

"By the way, master, what does the county marquis Shangguan mean on this notice?" asked Sun Wukong.

"Wukong, Shangguan, is the surname of this county marquis. Shi Jian on the side said to Sun Wukong.

"Oh, there is still someone surnamed Shangguan?" Sun Wukong said in surprise.

"Yes, there are quite a few people with the surname Shangguan. Shi Jian nodded.

Listening to the people around him talking about the county marquis, Sun Wukong jumped up and tore off the notice.

Seeing someone tearing down the poster, the people around looked at Sun Wukong in surprise.

Perhaps the official had seen a lot of strange things, and he was only surprised when he saw Wukong's appearance at first glance.

Stopping a soldier beside him, the official asked Sun Wukong with a smile: "Your Excellency, do you know what is written on this notice?"

"You know, isn't it just asking for rain, my grandson will. Sun Wukong said to the official.

"Oh, it seems that Your Excellency is really a human being, I wonder if you can tell your name?" the official's smile widened.

"Does it matter what my grandson's name is? You don't care about the rain, you care about my grandson's name?" said Sun Wukong to the official.

"Uh~" The official was choked by Sun Wukong. (To be continued.) )
