......

In the center of Lijia Village, the scorching sun is overhead, and the scorching light has dried the ground again.

There was silence and no wind, and the occasional heat wave blew in, and the scene was distorted and slightly blurred whether you looked far or near.

Three more days have passed since the incense was said that day, and today is the fifth day.

In the previous four days, the incense burned so badly in the large stone incense burner in front of the shrine that in just three days, the surface of the shrine was coated with a layer of sesame oil, and it looked as if it had been cultivated for a long time.

In the shrine, the statue of Hubo with a dragon head and a human body, his face is still sad and joyless.

But compared to the way it looked when it was first polished a few days ago, the statue has become smooth and oily, and it seems to have some subtle agility.

In front of the incense burner, two strong men stood majestically, which were the two brothers of the Li family.

On the left and right in front of them, there were two groups of young people in the village standing neatly, supporting the scene.

Further on, there is a large nest of villagers - both men, women and children in Lijia Village are already here, and many women are still holding unweaned children, including the mother of the Li brothers.

The scene was solemn and silent.

Under the sun, everyone was half soaked, sweating silently, dripping and falling to the ground.

Finally, someone got tired of waiting.

"I said, when is it going to rain!

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people began to speak, and a woman with a sharp voice shook the child in her hand and said, "Yes, yes, we adults don't talk about it, you look at my child." ”

As he spoke, the child began to cry.

Tian Zexin was already restless, and with such a cry and noise, the scene of buzzing voices suddenly "boomed".

Hearing this, Mura Zheng was upset, and hit the ground with his crutches, and his voice was overwhelming: "Li Dadao!

Li Dadao stood motionless, his face and forehead were full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and when he heard this, his body trembled slightly, and the two beads of sweat on his forehead immediately joined together, and the weight increased greatly, and he could no longer hang it, and rolled all the way from his forehead to the center of his eyebrows, and rolled straight down the bridge of his nose quickly, and the beads of sweat fell to the ground as a water line.

Let's go!

A watermark appeared on the dry and hard ground, and a dry smell with dust evaporated and disappeared.

Li Dadao didn't speak, his neck moved, and suddenly, the sweat on his whole face was like a waterfall, dripping down, his clothes were all soaked, his lips were dry, and he looked at the second brother Li Changshu beside him with inquiring eyes.

Li Changshu stroked his face sharply, shook his hand, threw away a large handful of sweat and looked at the big incense burner behind him.

In the incense burner, at this time only a thumb-thick long incense burned, it was almost burned, and there was still half a little finger long, because there was no wind, there was a large section of the high soot on the long incense, and it could not be dropped.

He looked beyond the incense, looked into the eyes of the idol in the shrine, and glanced at it fiercely, not to mention tears, and he didn't see any in his eyes.

His heart tightened, he clearly remembered what Ao Yan had said to him that day, and after seeing the magic of Ao Yan's divine power and talismans, he would no longer have the slightest doubt about the temple blessing.

It's just that now, at most, after half a tea time, it should be the time for the agreed rain.

He remembered that Miao Zhu said this.

But...... He looked up at the sky again, and the sky seemed cleaner than before.

"Li Dadao! You dare to lie to us! After a while, Lao Tzu not only smashed this dog~ Hubo statue, but also fought with you! In the past three days, everyone has been incense, only more, not less, you know this in your own heart!" someone shouted directly.

"Don't be impatient, the situation that day is the same as today, sincerity is enough, the old man has his own experience, this matter has been told to me the day before yesterday. Don't you think there's still a little time to do this? Can you settle down and make it happen? This thing is picked up by our brothers, and when it doesn't rain, don't worry about the statues, our brothers are here!" said Li Changshu patting his chest, his palm slamming on his wet clothes, sweat splashing everywhere.

Li Dadao frowned when he heard this.

His expression became even more nervous, he knew that there were a few old bachelors in the village who were notoriously not afraid of causing trouble, the kind of bastard who fed the whole family without hunger, and was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, was much more ruthless than the brothers who had always been a little majestic and domineering in their daily lives, and if it really didn't rain at that time, then his two brothers might be beaten to death with two fists and four hands.

It doesn't matter if you die, but the old mother is not filial, and the daughter-in-law is not married and the baby is not born, how will you face the ancestors under the Yellow Spring when the time comes?

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

After Li Changshu said those words that were not afraid of death, Li Dadao began to pray vigorously in his heart.

On the surface, the burly and unwavering old man looked at the three hundred or so people in front of him at this time, and he was actually scared.

As for Li Changshu, it seems that he is a little brainless when he says this, but he is also gambling, betting that his and his brother's net worth and life are all on this rope!

He was actually more nervous than his brother Li Dadao.

"Why haven't you come yet, why haven't you come yet......" He looked his eyes around to see where the clouds had come from, even if there was only a hint of it, it was to give him some hope.

Every breath of time is an incomparable ordeal.

The incense ignited to the end, and the Li brothers, or everyone's hearts, were raised to their throats.

Some of the bastards who were waiting in the crowd had already copied out the hammers they had prepared, and when the last two cents of incense were burned, they rushed forward with their hammers.

It's an outrage!

Originally, it was good that it didn't rain, but the villagers could only blame the sky, and the sky let them die, and they could only despair. Later, Hu Bo gave them hope, and for this little hope, they came here for three days or even four days in a row under the great sun to offer incense, so that it could rain.

A rain! Even a long light rain!

If it hadn't rained, not only would their efforts have been in vain, but the negative emotions of being tricked and played to despair would have exploded.

Erupted like a flash flood!

The villagers will feel that everything is done by Hu Bo, and it is Hu Bo who makes them endure the torment of the sun rather than death!

"Master, what now?" Sitting in the Venerable Temple, Xiao Shami's empty eyes looked straight ahead.

Beside him, the great monk carried his back with one hand and plucked the rosary with the other: "It's okay, everything is fate." ”

This statement seems to be quite profound and graceful, but in fact it is just perfunctory, he is already guessing in his heart, that night he can say that he is one against three, without showing any traces of defeat, and the young man fled in embarrassment is obviously shocked by himself.

Don't dare to come, it's normal.

If you dare to come, then this place is quite far away from the long river, and his strength is on the water, and you can easily rob him when you leave the village.

At this time, the incense was completely burned out, leaving only a large section of incense ash standing upright, and there was no change between heaven and earth.

In the crowd, several bastards dragged their hammers through the crowd and slowly walked towards the shrine.

When the two brothers of the Li family saw this, their faces turned pale.

However, at this moment, the three or five bastards who had dragged the hammer halfway suddenly stopped, looked at the idol with shocked faces, and raised their fingers tremblingly.

The villagers were about to make a fuss when they suddenly noticed something strange, and when they looked in the direction of the finger, their faces suddenly changed.

Li Changshu was stunned, surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he looked back, he saw two lines of water overflowing from the stone statue's eyes, and he shouted: "The god is crying! God is opening his eyes! Hubo is manifesting! It is about to rain!"

The great monk originally sneered twice, and was about to turn around, when he heard the figure, his figure was stunned.

He turned sharply to look, and just happened to see that in the incense burner, the long piece of incense ash suddenly broke off—the wind was blowing.

......
