Chapter 165 Locust Swarm
Sang Ning never spoke nonsense, and that day he asked Yan Meng to send a pottery jar of spiritual spring water to Xu Wude.
She said it was holy water purified by talismans, and asked him to use this water to boil medicine, and then go to her house to get more after use.
After tasting the water, Xu Wude was amazed that it was heavenly water and became even more convinced of Sang Ning's magical powers.
Not only did he use the spiritual spring water to make medicine himself, he also gave it to his wife to drink.
Before he knew it, he was taken advantage of by the eldest lady.
He hurriedly picked up the clay pot and went to get it, and happened to meet Huo Jiangchu who came to fetch water.
"What kind of water is this?"
He looked at the bucket of water that Huo Jiangchu was carrying.
Without waiting for Huo Jiangchu to run, he lay down and bit him.
Talisman holy water!
Why does he have so much in a bucket, but he only has a small clay pot in his hand!
"I want a bucket too!" he shouted to Sonning.
"Not that many. Drawing talismans is very tiring," said Sang Ning.
"I'll exchange it for rice, silver, or anything else."
Sang Ning was a little embarrassed. "Okay, one barrel a day, fifty taels, friendly price."
Xu Wude's face flushed with excitement. Fifty taels was not a lot. The medicine he had taken in the past few months amounted to several thousand taels.
The magic water is really powerful. I drank the medicine last night and felt its effect for the first time.
He gave Sang Ning fifty taels, then sat happily in the yard waiting for her to bring out the enchanted water.
Feng'er carefully walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of water.
He stared at the man and then stopped him.
"My dear, uncle is a little thirsty, can I have some water?"
I searched my body and found nothing.
Xu Wude was a little embarrassed.
Feng'er had already handed the bowl forward.
"Good boy, good boy, uncle will bring you candy next time."
Xu Wude didn't even take the bowl, but took a sip from Feng'er's hand.
really.
It’s also holy water!
No wonder everyone in the Huo family looks so beautiful and fresh. They are so extravagant that they drink the magic water every day!
He also wants to be a member of the Huo family!
Feng'er came to the doghouse with a bowl and poured water into the dog bowl.
When he returned, he secretly glanced at Xu Wude again.
"Uncle, why are you crying?"
"Nothing. Sometimes I feel like I've lived a life worse than a dog."
…
Xu Wude personally carried the water home, hid it carefully in his room, then filled a water bag and went to the field.
"Lao Shi, Lao Lu, Lao Tian, come over here and have some water!"
Stingy! He doesn't even need to buy me water!
The three men watched the servants collecting grain, pretending not to hear.
A large area of the fields has been left empty, and the harvest is almost finished today.
There were still some people sitting on the ridges of the fields watching the fun.
Xu Wude ignored him and went to Shi Huai with the water bag.
"Don't say I don't think of you when I have good things to do. I got some magic water. I'll give you a drink. It will cure all diseases."
"You might as well become a swindler!" Shi Huai took the water, tilted his head back and took a sip.
“…”
"Hey, Old Xu, let me take another sip. I can't taste anything."
Shi Huai chased after Xu Wude.
Xu Wude went to give Lao Lu some drink again.
After all three of them finished drinking, they were still reluctant to leave.
I have lived for decades and have never tasted such delicious water!
Xu Wude spoke slowly: "To be honest, this is the water that Madam Sang purified with her spells. Do you believe in her magical powers?
If you have any problem, take some medicine and use this water as a guide to increase the efficacy of the medicine... dozens of times!
Last night...your sister-in-law and I, um, um, you get it, we'll be able to hold our son soon!"
"Is it really that magical?" Old Lu asked hurriedly.
You know, men are not very good after they are over 30. Recently, the two women in his family have been treating him badly.
"Nonsense, can I have a son by lying to you?"
"I'll go ask Madam Sang for it too."
"I'm going too."
"Hey, don't go, don't go, don't waste your energy." Xu Wude stopped them.
He spoke with considerable pride, "Mrs. Sang said that the water is only for sale to me. If you want to drink, come to my place. Ten taels of silver for a water bag."
Don’t tell anyone, keep it a secret.”
A few people were chattering here, taking turns drinking a sip of water from time to time.
This made the people watching the fun on the ridges of the fields laugh like crazy.
A bunch of idiots.
This is not the time when there is water shortage. Look at how crazy they are!
A man dressed as a servant came running over.
"Master, the county magistrate has issued a notice, saying that everyone should go to harvest the grain!"
"What?"
The people on the ridges stopped smiling.
"You're crazy! You're all going crazy! My grandfather said that if there's a locust plague in Liangzhou, he'll tear his head off and kick it like a ball."
"Whoever wants to go can go, anyway, my family won't cut it, this is my own land, the county magistrate can't do anything about it!"
"Haha, no need to cut." Another person laughed and stretched out his hand with his palm open in the air.
“It’s raining!”
The sky had been gloomy for a few days, and finally it started to rain silently!
Judging from the situation, the rain will last for a long time!
In an instant, the sky and the ground were covered with fog, which was as fine as mist.
"Our crops are drinking water, and the barley and wheat grains are full. Xu Wude was dumbfounded~"
These people were not afraid of the rain and cheered excitedly.
Come on down.
Come on down.
Come on down...
Water the earth thoroughly so that they all have a good harvest.
"Look at Xu Wude, he's actually letting people harvest."
Everyone looked towards the fields in surprise.
It’s true.
Harvesting the millet even in the rain means leaving no way out for yourself!
…
The rain continued until the third morning.
This time the earth was really watered thoroughly.
The crops were standing up.
In Liangzhou, the sky cleared up after the rain.
At the edge of the field, a group of people looked at the large empty fields and cried out in regret.
"Sir, are we still going to harvest the grain? If we wait a few more days, the grains will grow a lot bigger." Rong Kun really didn't want to give the order.
The crops have just had enough water and are eager to grow. How can we harvest them now?
Bai Yi couldn't make a decision either, he looked at the group of people.
"Sir, if we don't accept it, it will take another half month, just half a month!"
"Look at how well it's growing, who would be willing to cut it?"
"I finally got some water."
…
Amidst the crowd of opposing voices, a different voice was heard.
"The dark clouds are coming again, and it's going to rain!"
"Why are those clouds so dark? Like splashed ink."
"No, that's not a cloud. It's coming down, it's coming down. What is that?"
Bai Yi's eyes were shocked.
As the shadows in the sky and on the ground got closer, his pupils gradually widened.
locust……
Is that a locust swarm?
How could there be... so many, so... terrifying!
