Chapter 1 If there is a downpour, the rain will slow down
"Xiao Er, warm a pot of wine, take a plate of peanuts, and cut half a catty of beef."
"Okay, sir, you wait first, the food will come soon." The shopkeeper was wiping the table, and when he heard someone shouting to himself, he quickly put the rag on his shoulder and looked at the person who ordered the dish with a smile.
"No hurry, no hurry." A young man in a wide black robe stood at the door of the restaurant, leaning his oil-paper umbrella against the wall with a smile on his face.
"Yo." The boss, who was sitting at the back of the cabinet, noticed the man in the black robe and said hello with a smile, "Xiao Huo is here again!" Sit down, sit down. β
"Excuse me again, Uncle Li." Huo Yao looked polite, picked a table by the window in the hall and sat down, and raised Erlang's legs very naturally.
The black-robed young man just sat there, didn't talk to anyone again, just sat there quietly and with a smile, holding his chin with one hand and squinting at the rain on the street outside.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, but they all looked hurried, and they didn't make a lot of noise, just walking, walking quietly.
"This rain has been falling for decades, since I was a child, and it has been raining until now, and I don't know when it will stop." The restaurant owner surnamed Li let out a sigh of relief, looked at the moss growing in the corner of his restaurant, and although he said sad words on his mouth, his face was full of indifference.
"Who knows, maybe it's going to stop." The black-robed young man's eyes seemed to open a little, glanced at the boss, and closed them again.
His hand reached out to his chest, where there seemed to be a dull ache.
"Oh, your dish is here!" At this time, the shopkeeper had already walked over with a big ink-colored plate with a smile, and on it was a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and half a catty of beef.
Picking up chopsticks and pouring wine himself, the young man sat in place, gulping wine and eating meat, but he looked like Sven.
As the young man ate, he glanced out the window and at the verdant horizon.
There, a little cloud has dispersed.
A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he continued to gobble up.
β¦β¦
Chu Yaoguo, located on the east side of the West Continent, northeast of the Leilin Mountains, occupies the rich Pangze Plain nurtured by the Yutuo River, this generation of Chu Emperor is also a heroic and strategic, hard work, this country should be a thriving, national and peaceful scene.
That's how it should be.
In the twenty-fourth year of Emperor Ling, the rain beasts that originally lived in the ocean on the east side of the Western Continent migrated to the Pangze Plain.
Emperor Ling went to meet the enemy, but it was difficult to defeat the power of the rain Jiao, and after showing its decline, he had to order it to inhabit the northeast of Chu Yao, but even so, the scope of the rain disaster still covered the entire Chu Yao country.
A few years ago, Emperor Chu Ling, who was already old but was injured in the battle with Yujiao, reached the limit, Emperor Chu Wei ascended the throne, and Emperor Wei followed his father's example to meet Yujiao, but he was still unable to drive Yujiao out of Chuyao.
Heavy rain, still falling.
It's been down for more than thirty years.
If it weren't for the fact that the Yutuojiang River directed the floods caused by the heavy rain to the sea, I'm afraid this Chu Yao would already be an ocean.
"Uncle Li, I'm leaving." The black-robed young man left some silver taels on the table, slapped his wide black robe, and walked towards the door.
"Huo Yao is gone? Frequent visits in the future. The boss surnamed Li replied casually without raising his head, and continued to buckle his nails.
Huo Yao was not annoyed, still with a smile, casually picked up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the door, opened it the moment he walked out, and disappeared into the pouring rain.
"Well, where do we go next?"
Holding an umbrella in his left hand and pinching his smooth chin with his right hand, Huo Yao said softly, as if he was talking to someone.
Even if there was nothing around him.
"Humans still need to eat to get energy, which is really low-level." There was a small voice in his sleeve, and it sounded a little dissatisfied.
"Okay, you can't talk here." Huo Yao stretched out his index finger and put it in front of his mouth, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked at the little thing that poked his head out of his left sleeve.
"The rain is so heavy, they can't see or hear, what are they afraid of?"
The little creature had a verdant face, large eyes, golden pupils that shimmered with a smart light, a fluffy white fuzz behind the ears, and a fleshy blue-gray horn on its head.
"You're quite unpopular in this country, and in your current state, if you are discovered, I am afraid that you will be put in a cage." Huo Yao pinched his chin, and his words were teasing, "Yes, how about putting you in a cage and not letting you out?" β
"Yikes! Don't lock me up! The cyan beast fell back into Huo Yao's sleeve in an instant and hid.
Shaking his head with a smile, Huo Yao put his hand into his chest, took out a fried peanut from the bag, and shook it on the cuff of his left sleeve.
"Okay, okay, why don't you put you in a cage and eat a peanut?"
The cyan beast came out again, looking at Huo Yao pitifully.
"Say, you can't put me in a cage."
"No, no." Huo Yao smiled and shook the peanuts again, "Don't you really eat it?" β
The cyan beast hesitated for a moment, bit the peanut, and turned its head back again, but Huo Yao could hear it chewing the peanut.
The little beast quieted down, and Huo Yao continued to walk in the heavy rain.
But he saw that the black cloth shoes he stepped on on the ground were not wet at all, and there were no water stains on the robe he was dragging on the ground.
He walked very slowly, and as he walked, he opened his eyes slightly, looked ahead, and watched the rain.
Something whispered softly in his mouth.
"Those who have rain, Jiao also."
His eyes were fully open, and the rain around him was stopped for a moment.
"It rains and rolls up the water and spits out the tide."
He took out an iron bone fan from his chest, and with a "swish" sound, it was fully deployed.
Printed on it is the word "woe".
"Hidden in the clouds, moved in the sky."
"Born with two claws and four fingers, the body is green and long, white-haired and golden-eyed, and the roar is like thunder."
For some reason, with his voice, the heavy rain seemed to be a little lighter.
"Disaster floods Kyushu, and the sun will not be seen all year round, and the world will be flooded."
He stood still suddenly.
Turning his head, he seemed to be looking at something, and his eyes were crooked.
He's always smiling, and this time, he's really smiling.
"It's forβ"
Syllable!
The iron fan was closed and made a loud noise.
"Rain Disaster."
Huhuhuββββββ
There seemed to be a trace of thunder swept through the rain clouds in the sky.
The pedestrians on the road seemed to sense something, and they stopped and raised their heads blankly.
The rain stopped.
