Xiao Niannian was thinking about her own thoughts, when she suddenly heard her fathers talking about the drought in Taoli Village again.

So she pricked up her ears and listened.

"Alas...... The fields in our village are starting to crack again. ”

Cheng Sheng sighed, a cloud of sorrow rose between his eyebrows, and his voice was a little older.

"For some reason, the drought has been so severe in the past two years. Our Taoli Village lives in the mountains, and there has never been such a drought in previous years. But in the past two years, the drought has been worse than in the towns outside. ”

"Yes, I have never heard of a drought this year, and it seems that only our Taoli Village is short of water."

Shen Zhengwen's expression also added a bit of solemnity.

"Luckily, there were several heavy rains in the autumn, which allowed the groundwater to be more abundant. Otherwise, we won't even have the water to drink from the well. ”

When Xiao Niannian heard this, her little face wrinkled.

Daddy, they may not know that those heavy rains were all sent down by her using spells using spiritual power.

The drought in Taoli Village is far worse than they thought, and it is said that this is not the case in other villages and towns, and Taoli Village does not know what is going on.

As long as the drought doesn't pass for a day, she has to rain every once in a while.

Every time she eats hard, most of the spiritual power she saves is used for rainfall.

I'm tired of using rainfall, and I don't know when this drought will end.

"That's right." Cheng Sheng suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Zhengwen, "You say, could it be that there is something wrong in this mountain?" ”

"The water in the main river of our village is almost dry, and the main source of water in the river is the mountain spring."

Shen Zhengwen thought thoughtfully, "I have also thought about this problem, this year I went into the mountains to hunt, and I feel that the water in the mountains has obviously become much less, and the flowers and trees are not as moist as before." ”

"The mountains are towering, and if there is a lack of water in the mountains, the first thing to suffer is our Taoli Village. In this way, it is reasonable to say that there is such a shortage of water in the village. Cheng Sheng said with a serious face, "In two days, we will organize some people to go to the mountains to have a look." ”

"No!" Shen Zhengwen hurriedly stopped, "There is a white-fronted tiger in that mountain, I encountered it last year, and I almost hid in the belly of the tiger. ”

Cheng Sheng was taken aback, "And this matter?" So how did you get out of danger? ”

Li Rulan also put down the needle and thread in her hand when she heard this, and stared at Shen Zhengwen nervously.

"Have you ever been in distress in the mountains? Why have I never heard you talk about this? ”

Shen Zhengwen also looked at Li Rulan and said, "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you." Besides, I wasn't hurt, but my clothes were scratched. ”

He glanced at Xiao Niannian, still a little happy in his heart.

"Maybe you have the blessing of the lucky star, the tiger fought with me a few times and then ran away."

Xiao Niannian was also very surprised, her father had experienced such a dangerous thing in the mountains, and she had never heard of it.

Then I was a little inexplicable by my father's sudden loving eyes.

Daddy looked at himself like this and said that again.

Could it be that his escape from the tiger's mouth has something to do with him?

By the way, Xiao Niannian suddenly remembered that once last year, she sensed that her father was in danger.

At the time, she was in a hurry, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the danger to disappear on its own.

It turned out that Daddy had met a tiger.

Could it be that his protective charm worked to scare the tiger away?

Xiao Niannian felt that it was very likely to be the case.

After all, he is a divine beast, and he can be called the king of all beasts.

A mere king of beasts, of course, should be afraid of her.

Cheng Sheng listened to Shen Zhengwen's words, and his face was even more sad.

"There are tigers in that mountain, and if we want to go there, it will be a little difficult. Could it be that this drought really can't be solved? ”

Although the villagers were numerous, it was not impossible to fight the tiger together.

But if one person is injured or killed, it can break up a family.

He wanted to go to the end of the water source to see what was going on, but he couldn't risk the safety of the villagers.

Without a basis, based on his own speculation, he could not find the officers and soldiers of the yamen to help.

Shen Zhengwen pondered for a while and said, "If we really want to go to the mountains to check, it's not impossible. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Sheng became interested, "What can you do?" Let's hear it. ”

Shen Zhengwen didn't answer, but looked at Xiao Niannian with burning eyes.

To be precise, it was the saliva on the side of Xiao Niannian's fleshy lips.

Xiao Niannian was a little uncomfortable by him, and reached out to wipe his face.

Could it be that he ate the sugar gourd on his face, so his father stared at him like this?

Shen Zhengwen was embarrassed to think about how to tell Cheng Sheng that Xiao Niannian's saliva could drive away the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes.

After thinking about it, he decided not to talk about it, because it sounded too ridiculous.

So he said to Cheng Sheng: "The way I think is that we can set up some mechanisms to deal with the tigers in advance, and when the tigers come to the door, we will catch them all." ”

He thought about it, and when the time came, he would bring some of the toys that Nian Nian had gnawed on when he was a child.

If you can't beat the tiger at that time, you can use toys to drive it away.

Cheng Sheng stroked his beard and nodded in agreement with Shen Zhengwen's proposal.

After all, it's not a problem to stay in drought like this.

For those of them who depend on the land for their livelihoods, the impact is too great, and the cause of the drought must be identified as soon as possible.

If you prepare the props in advance and let the villagers take precautions in advance, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Okay, that's it. How to act, we will discuss it after the New Year. ”

Cheng Sheng looked up at the sky, "It's approaching the end of the year, let's let everyone feel at ease for the New Year." ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Niannian drank three bowls of porridge and two boiled eggs.

Then he drank two large bowls of goat's milk and nibbled on two pieces of pumpkin pie.

touched her somewhat round belly, she couldn't eat it anymore, so she couldn't get enough of it.

After breakfast, she hung a large water bladder around her waist and tied a small burden on her back, which was full of dry food and food.

Then, she left the house in a hurry.

Yesterday, I heard my father say that the drought problem is likely to lie in the mountains.

Since there is a risk, let her solve it, it is better than taking risks together.

Mainly, she really didn't want to wait until after the Chinese New Year.

Otherwise, during this period, she will have to perform the rain spell again, so tired.

In order to avoid encountering the enthusiastic villagers, she specially picked a path that was deserted.

She didn't tell her father and mother that she was going to the mountains, but told them that she was going to Aunt Wu's house to play.

also said that he would have lunch at Aunt Wu's house, and he didn't have to wait for her to come back for dinner.

She has short calves, and when she finds a place, it is estimated that it will be very late, and she can't let her family worry about her.

She staggered to the main river in the village, and then followed the source of the river, moving her calves into the mountains.
