Chapter 298: Peaceful City Benefits



When Lin Yiran flew down from the altar, she met the obsessed eyes of Wan Suyun and Yao Wenhong.

She staggered and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.

What’s going on? Second sister-in-law also has feelings for her. Has she become a female killer?

Xiao Yunzhan floated down right behind Lin Yiran, but no one looked at him.

All the sisters-in-law surrounded Lin Yiran.

The Taoist priest, He Dongning and the common people were shouting excitedly in the rain, and no one paid any attention to him at all.

The heavy rain in Pingliang City lasted longer and covered a wider area than that in Shuitian City.

It rained from morning till midnight, causing water to accumulate in many homes throughout Pingliang City.

That night, the people of Shuitian City did not even sleep. They squatted at their doorsteps and watched the heavy rain falling.

........

"Master Li, it's raining!"

Ma Tiantai, the co-magistrate of Pinghe City, excitedly ran to the prefectural yamen and went straight to Magistrate Li's study.

"Where is it raining?"

When Magistrate Li heard Ma Tiantai's shout, he hurriedly opened the study door, walked out, and looked up at the sky.

The sky was still sunny and cloudless, without a trace of rain.

Ma Tiantai pursed his lips, panted, and pointed in the direction of Pingliang City.

"Over there, it's raining in the direction of Pingliang City."

Ma Tiantai swallowed his saliva and continued,

"Someone said they heard thunder and lightning coming from the direction of Pingliang City, so I went to the city gate to take a look."

"My goodness, the closer we get to Pingliang City, the louder the thunder gets."

"I really wanted it to rain, so I walked towards Pingliang City for half an hour."

"Guess what happened!?"

"What's the matter?" Magistrate Li looked at Ma Tiantai speechlessly. This guy was still keeping him in suspense at this time.

"Look at my clothes, do you see them?" Ma Tiantai excitedly approached Li Zhifu and pulled his robe, "Touch them..."

Magistrate Li frowned and took a look, seeing that Ma Tiantai's robe seemed to be a bit dark in color.

He reached out and touched it, his eyes widening instantly, "Moist?"

"What?" Ma Tiantai rolled his eyes at Li Zhifu. "It's wet, it's wet."

"Did you see my hair? It was wet before too."

Ma Tiantai rubbed his dry, burnt hair and stamped his feet in anger. "It's all because of the strong sun in Pinghe City. I ran all the way back and it dried me out."

"You don't know, I was walking and suddenly it started pouring down on my head."

"That guy, the rain was so heavy, within a few breaths, I was soaked all over."

"I didn't react at all and thought I was dreaming."

Ma Tiantai gestured excitedly, "That line, there's heavy rain over there, and the sun is blazing over here. It's really like a dream."

"That thunder means it's raining heavily in Pingliang City, there's no doubt about it."

"We can ask the people to go outside the city to fetch water. I think the rain will last for a while..."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take people to get water." Li Zhifu interrupted Ma Tiantai excitedly and walked out.

"Quick, go and call all the city's runners and soldiers, grab the water containers, and follow me out of the city to fetch water."

While running out of the prefectural office, Magistrate Li ordered the bailiff to call for help.

The bailiff was stunned for a moment, and when he opened his mouth to ask a question, he saw that Magistrate Li had already disappeared in a flash.

The bailiff hurried out to call for help.

Ma Tiantai looked at the swiftly running Li Zhifu with a confused look on his face.

"...Wait for me."

Ma Tiantai ran out excitedly, and after seeing Li Zhifu running home, he turned around and ran back to his own home.

If you don’t have a container for water at home, call everyone in your family.

Soon, the city gate was filled with yamen runners and soldiers carrying buckets and basins, as well as some family members and civilians who had rushed in after hearing the news.

Magistrate Li carried a large wooden barrel and excitedly led the way out of the city.

He was not sure whether the rain had stopped, so he only called the yamen runners and soldiers.

So as to avoid letting the people rejoice in vain.

A large group of people marched towards Pingliang City. After running for more than half an hour, they finally saw the place where it was raining.

“.....Ahhhhhhhhhhh….”

The people who followed with confused faces let out a sharp explosion the moment they saw the rain.

“Rain…it’s raining!!!”

"Oh my god! It's actually raining!"

"Woo woo~~~"

“.....”

Everyone followed Li Zhifu all the way and had no time to think at all.

They just thought they had discovered a water source somewhere.

Who knew it would rain so heavily?

Everyone took the water bottles and other things in their hands and ran straight into the heavy rain.

The raindrops and clangs fell heavily into the water collection device.

The rain was so heavy that in just a few moments, all the utensils in everyone's hands were filled with water.

Li Zhifu was soaked all over, with a wanton smile on his face, and he shouted in the heavy rain,

"When the water is full, hurry back and get everyone to get water. Hurry!"

"quick!!!"

Magistrate Li was extremely excited, fearing that the rain would come and go quickly.

While there is plenty of rain now, let the people who have been thirsty for a long time come and get water.

The yamen runners and soldiers who had fetched water happily hurried back to the city with full buckets of water.
