The old lady wouldn't budge an inch. "Our family is even poorer. That fire almost destroyed our house. Do you really expect us to take a share of that dilapidated house?"

Zhou Youfu instinctively wanted to mention the ginseng and lingzhi, but with outsiders present, he kept his mouth shut.

We must not let outsiders have their eyes on us.

Seeing that he was honest, the old lady said to the village chief, "You should write us a written agreement so he won't go back on his word later!"

The village chief nodded.

Having obtained the written agreement, the old lady didn't linger, and Zhou Youfu, without further ado, left with his men.

Zhou Youfu made a scene but got nothing in return, and even lost a piece of land. Although the land was useless, he was still upset.

He needs to go home and figure out how to steal that good stuff back.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he left.

“Mother, why did you take that piece of land next to the grave? It hasn’t grown a single blade of grass in years, it’s so dry, it definitely won’t grow any crops.”

The more Qin thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Would he be willing to give you that good piece?"

The old lady knew her son's thoughts all too well; he wouldn't give it to her, and if she made a scene, he might refuse to give her anything at all.

"I just feel it's unfair!"

The old lady patted her and said, "Alright, take what you can. It's better than nothing. Let's see if it grows or not. Maybe it will."

The old lady wasn't sure either. Before Qin could complain, she said, "Let's go take a look at that land. We still have some seeds we've collected at home. If it's good, we'll turn over the soil and plant them tonight."

The group then went back into the field.

Seeing it with her own eyes, Qin Shi completely gave up hope.

The ground was dry, with soil and sand mixed together, and she could jump into the large cracks in it.

"Mother, nothing can grow on this land." Qin had farmed before and could tell at a glance that nothing could grow on this land.

The old lady had considered the situation to be serious, but she hadn't imagined it would be this serious, and she regretted it for a moment.

I should have argued with the second son and gotten the other piece of land.

They were sighing and complaining.

Sisi looked up, her eyes drawn to a black bird perched high in a tree branch.

The black bird was entirely black, as if it had fallen into a coal mine, but its eyes were exceptionally bright, and its long tail feathers drooped down, their blackness tinged with iridescent light.

It tilted its head to look at Sisi.

Sisi tilted her head to look at it.

“Hey, there’s a crow over there watching me!” she pointed.

Xie Yan followed her fingertip and looked over, then paused in surprise.

Why does this crow look so strange?

Just as he was about to speak, the bird flapped its wings and swooped down, its wings carrying a faint hint of fire.

"Hey, where did this dead bird come from?" Zhou Erqian had just looked up and said when he saw the bird turn a corner and come straight at him.

Blackbird: You're the dead bird, you black human lump! I'll peck you until you're dead!

Zhou Erqian ran while yelling, "Help!"

Sisi covered her mouth and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xie Yan didn't understand what was so happy about this.

The little guy came closer to him, smelling of milky fragrance, and whispered, "That bird holds a grudge. If Erguoguo scolds it, it will scold Erguoguo back."

Xie Yan frowned. "How did you know?"

"Sisi can hear me."

The little one proudly tilted her head back. She can hear animals talking. You can't, can you?

You're still too green, you big demon king!

"You can hear that bird talking?" Xie Yan looked at her incredulously and reached out to touch her forehead.

Has this little guy fried his brain again?

Sisi pulled his hand away and said confidently, "Yes, I can hear it. It's still cursing Erguoguo."

"..."

Xie Yan still felt that she had lost her mind again.

Zhou Erqian was pecked in the face by the black bird, and it took the old lady a long time to chase it away with a tree branch.

It went back to the tree and tilted its head to look at Sisi.

This is incredible! Dragon cubs have appeared in the human world.

It's all in chaos.

"You, why are you cursing at that bird when it was standing there perfectly fine?" the old lady glared at him.

Zhou Erqian said with a bitter face, "How was I supposed to know it could understand? It even flew down and chased after me to bite me!"

"Serves you right!" Qin glared at him. "Mother, this land is no good for farming, let's go back."

The old woman was reluctant to part with it, sighing several times and murmuring, "If only it could rain, and water this land thoroughly, maybe something would grow."

"Grandma, you'd better stop thinking nonsense. Our Peach Blossom Village has been in drought for so many years, how could it possibly rain?" Zhou Erqian said impatiently.

If it's a piece of broken land and we can't farm it, then we should just abandon it.

The old woman glared at him, "You don't know how to worry at all! Without land, where will you get your food? You'll starve to death!"

"What can we do? How can it possibly rain!"

No one noticed that Sisi suddenly rubbed her nose with her chubby little hand and sneezed.

Achoo!

Boom!

The bright sky instantly turned cloudy, with dark clouds gathering over the area and lightning flashing within them.

Qin and the old lady were stunned by this scene. Who was going to be struck by lightning this time?

Their eyes all turned to Zhou Erqian.

Zhou Erqian shuddered, on the verge of tears, "I only cursed that damn bird once, I didn't say anything else!"

Xie Yan's gaze was completely fixed on Sisi.

The little guy frowned and then sneezed loudly again.

Achoo!

Instantly, a torrential downpour began, raining only on this one spot, so hard that the people couldn't even open their eyes.

"My God, my God, what a heavy rain! Heaven has opened its eyes! Heaven has opened its eyes!"

"It even rained only on our land. God is looking out for us. He was thinking of raining, so he sent rain to us."

"Unbelievable, it actually rained!"

The moment the little one sneezed, Xie Yan picked her up and ran away, getting only a few drops of rain on herself.

His chest heaved violently; he was certain that the little guy had brought the thunderstorm.

Suppressing his emotions, Xie Yan gently coaxed, "Sisi, tell your brother, did you summon this rain?"

The little guy nodded, very proudly saying, "It was Sisi who recruited him, Wu Guoguo. Sisi is very capable!"

So, you big devil, if you dare to bully Sisi, Sisi will fill your belly with water and make you burst!

snort!

Xie Yan composed himself and waited for the three men to emerge from the rain before informing them of the incident.

Zhou Erqian was the first to disbelieve it. "How could that be? She's just a little kid, a silly, stupid girl. How could she attract rain? Do you think I'm stupid?"

“I think it’s very likely true.” The old lady thought back carefully. “I remember that on the day of the fire, Sisi sneezed, and then it started to rain heavily.”

Qin's eyes were a little red. "How could our Sisi attract rain? It must be that God took pity on us and felt sorry for Sisi, afraid that without land to cultivate, Sisi would not have enough to eat."

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Erqian rolled his eyes and casually broke off a foxtail grass.

"I want to see if her sneeze will make it rain. If it doesn't, I'm going to spank her!"
