Chapter 43: Delaying Time.



Long Sisi saw that Erguoguo was locked in a small dark room, both of his legs were broken, and he was panting and crawling out like a puppy. He looked so pitiful.

She's no longer angry with Erguoguo. She's going to take care of Erguoguo and not let him turn into a little puppy crawling on the ground.

"Second Brother, can we not go?" Sisi tugged at his clothes and wouldn't let go.

That brat, she was ignoring him just now.

We've already agreed to go, how can we go back on our word?

Zhou Erqian was about to scold him when he saw that the little guy's eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

He couldn't say the words, so he pursed his lips and said, "No, I've already promised someone. Let go, I'm leaving."

Long Sisi didn't let go; she was extremely anxious and couldn't let Erguoguo become a puppy.

"No, Erguotou, don't go."

The little guy was so anxious that tears streamed down his face, and his body was trembling, which broke the old lady's heart.

"Sisi, your second brother will come back. Let him go. Sisi still has your fifth brother by her side."

"Sisi, let go."

The little guy suddenly burst into tears, "No, I don't want Erguoguo to turn into a puppy!"

"You brat, you're the dog!" Zhou Erqian glared at her and abruptly pulled back his clothes.

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Sisi lifted her leg to chase after him, but in her panic, she tripped over her own foot and fell to the ground with a thud. She got up and cried out, "Second Brother, Sisi has a gift for you!"

Tuesday, Qian stopped in his tracks.

Long Sisi knew that Erguoguo was determined to leave, so she simply took out a copper coin with the scent of incense from her spatial storage and gave it to him, hoping it could save his life in a critical moment.

It was just an ordinary copper coin, which Zhou Erqian would have looked down on, but since it was the first gift the brat had ever given him, he thought about it and accepted it anyway.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, you'd better go and check on your fields!" Liu Da suddenly rushed over.

Inside the house, Qin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the rain last night had drowned the wheat seedlings in the field?

She panicked and didn't have time to ask any questions before rushing to the field.

Seeing a crowd already gathered around the field, Qin panicked even more. She squeezed into the crowd and shouted, "What's wrong? What happened to my land? Why are you all crowding around..."

His voice suddenly choked.

Qin rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Good heavens, is this still her family's land?

"Wow, it's growing really well, Zhou family. I remember this place used to be barren, you're really something, you've managed to grow crops even in such a desolate place."

"That's right, her wheat grows the best in our village. Look at her ears of wheat, they've already sprouted. Our wheat seedlings are still like dwarf gourds."

People around were talking about it, some even joking, "Hey Zhou, if you have any farming secrets, share them with everyone. There are plenty of amazing farming methods in the village."

Zhou Dawei also found it unbelievable, "Mom, what's going on? Why are our wheat seedlings growing so vigorously?"

Madam Qin shook her head; it would be strange if she knew.

"Actually, all the land in our village has changed, but the changes in your village are even greater."

The village chief exclaimed excitedly, "Since the rain last night, the wheat seedlings in the fields have all turned green overnight, as if they were pulled up and have grown much taller."

"Does this rain have some kind of miraculous effect?"

"I think it's probably because of the rain. Otherwise, how could things change so much overnight? We were only thinking about hiding from the robbers yesterday. Who cared about the land? It must be because of the rain."

"Was this rain summoned by that girl from the Zhou family?"

"That girl from the Zhou family is really amazing! Not only can she summon rain, but she can also make the crops grow like crazy. Our yield this year is bound to double!"

"It's more than double! It might even be several thousand more kilograms! This girl from the Zhou family is our village's lucky charm, a little bodhisattva!"

Hearing everyone's praise, Qin was both happy and wanted to cry. In the past, the villagers talked most about the Zhou family's idiot and the Zhou family's jinx.

Now things are much better. Sisi is no longer stupid, and the whole family's luck has improved. From now on, she won't be called "stupid mother" when she goes out!

Finally, I could finally let out a big sigh of relief!

The Zhao family.

Zhuang Rongrong didn't sleep well all night. She even dreamed of the scene where the robbers killed everyone in Peach Blossom Village, and dreamed that Zhou Erqian was crying with his face covered in blood, asking her why.

"ah!"

"Miss had a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I will stay by your side."

Xiao Tao gently patted her back and coaxed her.

Zhuang Rongrong gripped Xiao Tao's arm tightly. Overjoyed, she had forgotten that she had personally led the robbers to Peach Blossom Village to save her own life.

They should have... after all this time.

No!

No, it won't.

The male protagonists won't die; if they did, the world would immediately collapse, and she would also disappear.

"Xiao Tao, could you go and find out something for me? It's very important to me."

Xiao Tao was in so much pain she wanted to cry, but she forced herself to nod and said, "Okay, Miss, go to sleep. I'll do whatever you ask."

Zhuang Rongrong then settled down to sleep.

The next day, Wen Sang got up very early. She had arranged for the city lord to come over today, so she ordered her servants to clean the entire Zhao residence to welcome the city lord.

"Rongrong, the city lord will be here soon. I told him about your abilities, and he's very curious. You must show him what you're capable of!"

Zhuang Rongrong was very anxious. "Mother, are we praying for rain today? Today is not a good day to pray for rain."

She could only try to delay until Xiao Tao found out and gave the things to Zhou Erqian, then she could start praying for rain.

Zhuang Rongrong believed that Zhou Erqian was a simple-minded person, and that he would cherish anything she gave him.

She also instructed Xiao Tao to deliver the items to the stern-faced Zhou Erqian, avoiding the Zhou family members.

Wen Sang frowned. "There are rules for praying for rain? Are there any other things to be aware of? Why didn't you mention them on the way?"

"I think she's deliberately stalling for time because she can't get rain," Zhao Yuan said as he slowly walked over.

Zhuang Rongrong's eyes reddened. "No, praying for rain requires many steps and depends on the weather. The sun is too strong today, so the Bodhisattva is definitely not home."

Wen Sang nodded, clearly believing her.

Zhao Yuan disagreed, saying, "Wuzhou City is always this hot, and besides, does the Bodhisattva not care about rain?"

"Yuan'er, stop fooling around. Your sister has a Bodhisattva who grants all her requests. You're still sick, so don't get involved. Go back and rest."

“Really? Then I’m curious how to pray to the Bodhisattva for rain. I’m not leaving; I want to stay and watch.” Zhao Yuan smiled.

Wen Sang had no choice but to agree, "You can stay, but you can't bother your sister, understand?"

"I don't have a sister."

Wen Sang glared at him, then coaxed, "Rongrong, Yuan'er isn't used to you yet, don't be angry."

"No." Zhuang Rongrong's heart was pounding in her throat. She said nervously, "Mother, today really isn't a good day..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud shout came from outside the hall: "The city lord has arrived."

Wen Sang hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly, come with Mother to welcome the City Lord. We can talk about other things later."
