"Dad, don't even think about it!"
Boss Xu said at the right time, "These days, you and your mother talk about rain in front of my little sister. It's raining. My little sister is learning to talk like a human being!"
"Don't even think about it, does my little sister know what rain is?"
Mr. Xu poured a basin of cold water down, and Mr. Xu instantly withered.
Yes, my daughter is indeed a blessed person, but with such a tiny little girl, how can I know what rain is
Furthermore, how can anyone predict whether it will rain or not
Mr. Xu sighed and looked up at the sky.
The sky is still blue and the sun is shining brightly.
Not a single breath of wind blew between heaven and earth.
For it to rain, there must first be some wind, and then at least there must be some clouds in the sky.
But now, is there any sign of rain
Fubao didn't expect his father to believe his words right away.
But in fact, it’s really going to rain!
Not long ago, while she was sleeping, she had a dream.
In the dream, she was playing in the sun, and then suddenly the wind started blowing, followed by dark clouds rolling in from the south, and then heavy rain poured down.
Then she woke up.
Of course, this may also be something you think about during the day and dream about when you sleep.
During this period, the sun was always shining, and Fubao's time outside was restricted every day.
There are already elderly and children in the village suffering from heatstroke due to the hot weather.
Old Mrs. Xu talks to the women in the village every day. The family is divided between the east and the west, which makes Fu Bao know a lot about what is happening in Lingshui Village.
As a result, Fubao stopped praying for rain for some time, but recently started praying again.
"Dad, where do we keep our horses? Our territory is getting smaller and smaller!"
Boss Xu was stuck with his beloved horse for a while, and finally remembered the key issue.
The barn in his backyard seemed a little crowded even with three horses. Now that three more horses have arrived, the livestock shed in the backyard is obviously not enough.
“Let’s build another shed!”
Mr. Xu sighed. At this time, there was no other way but to build another shed.
Building a shed is not difficult, it only requires a few logs and some cattail grass.
There is no shortage of wood. Every house in the village will have a few logs ready, and Old Xu's family is no exception.
It’s just that you need to choose carefully where to place this newly built shed.
There is no room in the backyard, and a well is drilled to the east, so it is not very suitable for building a shed. After all, people in the village need water, and they can't guard the animals.
As for the west courtyard wall, it faces the village street and there is no room to move around.
It's even worse in front of the door, where there are so many people coming and going, it's not suitable for building a shed at all.
"How about in the fields to the east?"
Mr. Xu looked left and right, and finally set his sights on the field his family had just bought.
Even though it is adjacent to the Peach Blossom River, due to this severe drought, the crops in this field have basically withered.
Only a few crops in the fields are still struggling tenaciously.
But everyone understood that if it continued not to rain, the crops in these fields would wither in at most three or two days. The water in the Taohua River has stopped flowing, and the villagers continue to dig deeper channels. The little water seeping out of the ground is really a drop in the bucket.
"Dad, it seems the wind is blowing!"
Just when Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were thinking about where to build a shed, Mr. Xu suddenly turned his head and looked to the south.
Mr. Xu stopped, stood there for a while, and nodded excitedly.
The wind is indeed picking up!
south wind!
Although the wind is not strong, when the wind blows, the whole person feels different.
Mr. Xu remembered what his daughter said again, it's raining.
Is it really going to rain
"Dad, look, look, clouds, south, it's getting dark, it's getting dark!"
Boss Xu, who had been staring southward, shouted suddenly.
"What are you shouting for?"
Mr. Xu slapped Mr. Xu on the head, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and build a shed. If it rains later and your sister's pony is soaked, you will be the one to watch!"
“…”
Boss Xu suffered tons of critical hits in an instant.
Is this the time to talk about this
Isn't it time to talk about it's going to rain
"Dad, brother, it's going to rain!"
Xu Laoer came back on horseback. Before anyone arrived, a loud voice came over.
Xu Laoer, who went out to ride a horse, rushed back as soon as he saw it getting dark in the south to share this happy mood with his father and eldest brother.
However, just after he got off the horse, before he could express his joy to his elder brother again, he was slapped on the head by Boss Xu.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and build a shed. If it gets wet on my little sister's foal, I want you to look good!"
"I… "
Xu Laoer looked confused. Is now the time to care about Xiao Pony
Unfortunately, seeing the fierce looks of his father and eldest brother, Xu Laoer could only quickly tie up his beloved horse and follow him to work.
Looking at the south, it was getting dark faster and faster, and there seemed to be faint thunder, and the three of them didn't care about choosing a place.
I started building a shed next to the east wall of my house.
Xu Laoer, who is full of strength, is responsible for digging holes.
Boss Xu and Mr. Xu quickly brought over the wood, as well as things like cattails, branches, straw and orange stalks.
The three of them worked together, and the efficiency was not high.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the thatched shed was erected.
Not long after the thatched shed was set up, black clouds filled the sky above Lingshui Village, and it suddenly became dark between the sky and the earth.
The south wind blew, and some wilting leaves were blown down.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, white bolts of lightning illuminated the field.
Heavy raindrops fell.
"It's raining!"
"It's raining!"
"For God's sake, it's raining on you!"
In the pouring rain, people all over the village ran out of their houses and cheered in the pouring rain.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"
"Don't stop, don't stop!"
"God, we can't stop, let's go, let's go!"
Some people knelt down in the mud and prayed to God.
…
The rain started in the afternoon and continued until Xu Laosan came back from school in the county, but it still showed no tendency to stop.
"Ah sneeze..."
Xu Laosan, who came back from school in the county, was freezing.
Wang immediately rushed to the kitchen to boil ginger and brown sugar water for Xu Laosan, and made him drink two large bowls of it before he felt a little warm.
"It's raining so hard!"
"You don't know that the streets in the county are flooded!"
"What the hell kind of weather is this? It hasn't rained in the past few months, and now it suddenly starts to rain. It can't be a flood!"
Xu Laosan said a little depressed.
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by his mother, Mrs. Xu, "Stop it quickly, if you say such words again, I will slap you with a feather duster!" (End of Chapter)
