Chapter 9 Asking Heaven for Water



The Heshan Village is in a commotion today. One moment, people are saying that a girl has an affair with a rogue, and the next moment, people are saying that a ghost has possessed a tiger and is coming down the mountain to seek revenge. Both incidents are inextricably linked to the Feng family.

After all, they have been neighbors for two months. In his spare time, Zhong Bo also took some time to take a look. The Feng family is an orphan and a widow, and it is particularly difficult. Maybe he can help a little.

As a result, he saw the magical side of Miss Feng and realized that not all the Feng family were swindlers. This surprised Zhong Bo and immediately changed his bad impression of the Feng family.

Zhong Bo, who was filled with relief, just returned to his own courtyard when he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the bamboo fence, eavesdropping in the corner next door?

But, but, but, why is the master here?! Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Shouldn't he be deep in the mountains... Has he lost control? Zhong Bo suddenly jumped up and ran towards his master.

Just when he was about to get to the bottom of the matter, he heard the girl next door say: She slept with the scholar next door.

Asleep...? ? ! ! !

Next door to the Feng family are an old man and a young man, a master and a servant, who moved in two months ago. Isn’t the so-called scholar the black-faced god in front of them?

Was, was he slept with? Zhongbo Aba Aba opened and closed his mouth, but he could not utter a complete sentence.

Especially when he heard Miss Feng say that she was irresponsible, Zhong Bo felt the temperature around him became even colder. He jumped over and opened his arms, like a hen protecting her chicks.

And the object of protection is of course the Feng family next door.

"What are you doing?" This old slave has become strange since he came to Heshan Village. Huo Jinxing frowned.

"Master, please show mercy!" After all, they had slept together before, and it would be inappropriate to kill her right away. Zhong Bo was thinking about how to persuade her with a long speech.

But, the figure in front of me, as tall and straight as a green bamboo, suddenly turned around, took a step with long legs, and went back to the house very decisively.

"Huh? Just left? No crippling? No whipping? Zhong Bo was stunned. He was not used to his master's calm and gentle side.

Could it be that the illness was truly cured? Zhong Bo's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed him into the house. He wanted to carefully examine his master's health...

On this side, Feng Ling and the mother and son had a hearty meal, which completely satisfied their hunger. They relaxed and fell drowsy.

"Mom, I want to take a shower and go to bed." I'm so tired after a whole day of tossing and turning. I want to take a shower and go to bed. Feng Ling said the most natural words and made the most ordinary request.

As a result, Feng Ming, who was picking his teeth across from her, sneered, "Then go to sleep quickly. You can take a bath in your dreams."

Feng Ling looked at the greasy face of the little guy and couldn't help but feel disgusted. "Why don't you take a shower when you're so dirty? Do you want to be a beggar?"

"Haha, I'm a beggar, so I don't have money to buy water to take a bath." Is this a question of whether you want to be a beggar? It's a question of whether you have money to buy water. Feng Ming looked at him with a look of "Are you stupid?"

"Ling'er is not a beggar. Wait, mother will boil water for you, but, just wipe it." The daughter experienced her first time in her life today. Su Shenpo kissed her daughter and wiped her body no matter what.

I should have bathed and burned incense. After all, I've become an adult after going through this. But, who can blame me for being incompetent? Ugh...

"Mom, are you crazy? There's not enough water to drink, and the bowls can only be wiped with hay, and you still let her waste water? You don't want to live anymore, right? You are so pretentious!" Feng Ming was furious. He glared at Feng Ling and wiped his face with his sleeve. He didn't know that he was getting darker because his clothes were black.

Feng Ming was so angry that he felt sick when he saw Feng Qinggao starting his daily routine again. In order to save food, he decided to turn a blind eye to it, otherwise it would be a waste if he vomited it out. So he turned around and went back to his room.

At this moment, Feng Ling was shocked!

She was surprised that the original owner, a grown woman, was so careless. She even smelled in the hot weather.

However, the smell of Su Shenpo and Feng Ming's was stronger than hers because they had less water to use.

Feng Ling suddenly remembered that the Heshan Village had been suffering from drought for nearly half a year. The springs in the mountains had stopped producing water, and the amount of water for drinking and use was becoming less and less. If it were not for the occasional light rain that barely moistened the ground and allowed them to grow some drought-resistant sorghum, the villagers would have probably fled the famine long ago.

Nowadays, there are only two deep wells in the village that can supply water. One is from Liu Xiucai's home, but it is not supplied to the outside world.

There's also a public well in the village, which the old village chief guards every day. Each person can only have ten bowls of water a day, and you have to buy the extra. They say it's to save water, but isn't this just a waste of life?!

Without clean water to clean the dirt, how can we survive this hot summer? Feng Ling slapped his forehead and resigned himself to his fate, dragging his heavy steps to the yard.

Life is full of surprises. Feng Ling never thought that one day she would risk everything for bath water.

A crescent moon hung on the branches of the willows, and there was a colorful halo around the new moon, which was clearly a sign of wind or rain, but the sky was hot and dim, which was clearly no sign of rain.

The five elements are in chaos. Something is wrong, very wrong.

Normally, the sky at night should be clear, and the daytime heat would disappear. However, the temperature now shows no sign of dropping sharply. It's as hot as a steamer, making people uncomfortable. The key is that there is no water!

Since she couldn't bring rain herself, she had to borrow it from God.

"Mom, give me some cinnabar." Feng Ling shouted into the house, and went outside the yard to take five willow branches of the same length, and then set up the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Water Array in the yard.

Su the witch responded very quickly, "What are you doing, girl?" Although cinnabar was very expensive, she took it out without hesitation and gave it to Feng Ling.
