Chapter 36 Brothers in Distress



But I feel sad when I look at the big sun in the sky.

It has been so long since it rained. It has been more than three months since the last rain. The crops in the fields are almost dead.

There is not much water left in the river now, and no one dares to use the water to irrigate the crops.

Otherwise, if there is no water, people will die.

Every day, Lin Cuicui would check the dozen or so large water tanks in the west wing and how much water was left in the well at home. She would not feel at ease unless she did.

The water in Sanli River is almost dry. There is still a spring on the mountain, but it has become much smaller.

For those who don’t have a well, people have to queue up in the mountains every day to get water, and the queue takes at least an hour.

I don’t dare to waste the water I bring home, I still have to use it sparingly.

Village chief Shen Zhenyuan has no way to deal with these things. Is there anything he can do about natural disasters and man-made disasters?

The only thing we can do is to let the villagers of Sanli Village store up as much food and water as possible.

They still have hope in their hearts. If it rains now, they can plant the crops and harvest them before winter comes.

As time entered June, the sky was gloomy early in the morning, and soon there were rumbling thunders.

"Ali, will it rain?"

Shen Li shook her head, "No!"

The original book says that after March this year, it will not rain until next autumn.

The family felt very disappointed after hearing this, but there was still a little hope in their eyes.

I hope God will open his eyes and send some rain.

Everyone was praying for rain in their yards, but the thunder rumbled for an hour without a drop of rain falling.

Finally, the thunder gradually stopped and the dark clouds slowly dissipated.

The sky gradually brightened and the sun hung high in the sky.

After a while, I heard a lot of crying, shouting, and endless prayers coming from the village.

The Shen family felt very uncomfortable. With such a big scene, it would be nice to have some rain.

I wasn't expecting rain in the first place, but now even hope has brought despair.

Soon the village became quiet and everyone went up the mountain with backpacks and baskets.

Since the weather is not good, they have to rely on themselves. Moreover, the food in the family has to be kept to pay taxes this year, so they dare not act recklessly.
