Chapter 210 of The Farmer's Spring and Fields: A Moment of Silence for Zhao Xiaohua

Chapter 210 A moment of silence for Zhao Xiaohua

We had just returned to the main road from a somewhat remote village, and everyone in the team breathed a sigh of relief, because they only needed to walk a few more villages to reach the altar, and those villages were on both sides of the main road, so they didn’t need to walk too far. They had to rush to the altar at noon, hold the ceremony, and then continue to visit the remaining half of the villages, because there were more than ten villages.

They were about to reach Hebian Village. The people in Hebian Village were very happy to come out to watch the excitement. This meant that blessings were coming to their village. The Rain Goddess would bless their Hebian Village.

Su Zhi listened to several villagers who got on the bus chattering about Goddess Rain, and she found it interesting. Although her education in her previous life had always told her that asking for God's blessing was the most useless thing to do, she was reborn and such things had happened. She did have some faith in God, so she was not completely unconvinced about such things.

"I hope it will rain heavily after the Rain Festival. The water level in the river seems to be lower than in previous years."

Apart from talking to two people from the village, Liu Si Niang stopped talking. Others thought she was embarrassed because she had just remarried, so they stopped talking to her. At first, she just listened and smiled, and then she started talking to Su Zhi in a low voice.

Su Zhi looked at the worry on Liu Si Niang's face and her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Is the water level in the river really lower than in previous years? Does that mean the weather is drier than in previous years?"

Su Zhi has heard many people say that there was no rain during the Qingming Festival this year, and she is afraid that there will be a shortage of water. She is actually a little worried. But she comforts herself that if there is no rain during the Qingming Festival, maybe it will rain after the Grain Rain. They say the ground is dry, but the weeds in the field are still growing? Aren’t the wheat seedlings still green? The willow trees have sprouted new buds. And the peach and apricot blossoms are all blooming red and pink, gorgeous and incomparable. Everything seems full of vitality. Even if it rains a little later than in previous years, it doesn’t matter, right?

Su Zhi thought so, but after hearing what Liu Si Niang said, she became worried again.

The villagers are most afraid of drought. There is no big river near this riverside village. So there will be no flood. Even if there is a flood, it will only be because the crops are flooded by heavy rain, which will reduce the yield. At least people will not be without water to drink. At least the heavy rain will not last for three months. But drought is different. If this drought occurs, in severe cases, even people will have no water to drink. There are cases where the drought lasts for three years!

Su Zhi has a spiritual spring in her hand and money at home. She is not afraid of drought, but she does not want to live in a disaster year.

Liu Si Niang said, "It is lower than in previous years. I have lived in Hebian Village for several years. I know the river very well. Not only I can see it, but many people in the village can see it too. So everyone attaches great importance to the Rain Worship Festival this year. The Rain Goddess appeared in our village, and everyone thinks it is a good omen."

"It's just that Sister Shen Zhu suddenly stopped being Lady Rain. Isn't this a bad sign?"

A woman who was speaking said that as soon as she said this, she was pulled by someone next to her. She also felt that what she said seemed a little unkind and smiled embarrassedly.

Another woman said, "What bad omen can it be? Isn't it the people of our Hebian Village who became the Rain Goddess? And Wulang of the Shen family also became a virgin. Now our Hebian Village not only has a virgin boy and a virgin girl, but also three virgin boys and two virgin girls. Think about it, which village has been as prosperous as our Hebian Village? If this is not a good omen, then there will be no good omen. I think there will definitely be a heavy rain soon."

Several people nearby echoed this and expressed great hope for a heavy rain.

Su Zhi also began to look forward to the next heavy rain, if for no other reason than to live a good life. She didn't want to be caught in a disaster year.

The people from the third room, Shen Ziping and Sanlang, followed the people in front who were watching the excitement and ran away. Sun Shi took Chunhua and Silang to sit in the car. They were very happy when they heard them talking about Wulang. However, when she heard others talking about Zhao Xiaohua, the Rain Queen, she curled her lips. She was originally very happy that Wulang was going to be the most glorious person in the family. Now when she heard others praising Zhao Xiaohua, she thought it would be even better if Shen Zhu became the Rain Queen.

"I'm saying this, my Zhu'er was schemed against by someone. If anyone dared to scheme against Lady Rain, Lady Rain would not be happy. Who else could scheme against our Zhu'er? Who would benefit the most? That's the one! Even if we prayed for rain, it would be because Lady Rain saw that our Zhu'er was unlucky, so she sent rain. If it didn't rain, it would be because Lady Rain was unhappy that someone had harmed our Zhu'er. Let's see what the person pretending to be Lady Rain would do then!"

When several people heard this, they all looked at each other. They had also guessed that there was something behind Zhao Xiaohua becoming the Rain Queen. Now after hearing what Sun said, did they think that Zhao Xiaohua had set a trap for Shen Zhu?

Su Zhi and the others ignored Sun. She could say whatever she wanted. They also felt that Shen Zhu was too unlucky for what happened today. Even if Zhao Xiaohua was pointed out by Sun, he deserved it. If this person did something bad, he should be prepared to be blamed and scolded.

"Hey? Why did the convoy in front of you stop?"

Just when Sun was about to continue speaking, a woman suddenly spoke, pointing her hand forward. Everyone looked forward. The float stopped not far in front of them, and the noise was quite loud. There were voices of men and women, as well as the sound of a baby screaming, mixed in with the neighing of horses and... the barking of dogs?

"Oh my! Look, what happened to Xiaohua?!"

A woman screamed, and it was no wonder that she screamed, because everyone else saw what she saw and their faces changed. It turned out that Zhao Xiaohua suddenly stood up, then swayed twice and fell down!

"Oh no! God is punishing us! What should we do? Is there really going to be a severe drought this year? How can we survive? Damn Zhao Xiaohua! If you can't be the Rain Goddess, what else can you do? If there is really a severe drought, how can we survive?"

At that moment someone started shouting, and after the shouting, the people around started to get anxious. As soon as they entered the room, there was a burst of shouting, and then they all rushed to the front, wanting to see what was going on.

Sun also jumped out of the car, and her Wulang was still in the car. She didn't know what happened. Chunhua, who had been keeping her head down, also quickly pulled Silang out of the car and ran over there.

Li Shi was driving the ox cart. Shen Zian was sitting on the other side. He had already jumped off the cart and headed over there. He had three children with him. When he heard the barking of the dog and the barking of the horse, his first reaction was that there were wild dogs. The horse was frightened. Zhao Xiaohua had just fallen off. What about the children? Would they be hurt?

Su Zhi also wanted to go down, but was stopped by Li Shi. Just now when Shen Zian jumped out of the car, he asked him to look after his sister-in-law. It was so messy there, he couldn't let his sister-in-law go. If they got hurt, Shen Zian would be heartbroken.

Liu Si Niang also helped pull Su Zhi. Su Zhi was really anxious, so she jumped off the ox cart. Many people were running there. How could she be in any danger? Taking care of the children was the most important thing!

There was less than fifty or sixty meters between the oxcart and the float, and there were several horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts following them, all of which were now stopped. Those people also walked towards the float, wanting to see what was going on.

Su Zhi followed those people, and saw that the people in front of her were screaming and running to both sides, some of them crashed into the car, and some fell into the ditch beside. She saw the person in front of her move aside, and then she saw a big dog rushing over, its mouth wide open, revealing its red tongue, which was scary to look at. Su Zhi was frightened and wanted to move aside, but it seemed too late. Just as she stared at the dog and thought about being bitten, the dog stopped, stared at Su Zhi, sniffed at her feet, and then squatted on the ground obediently, wagging its tail at Su Zhi.

The people around were stunned, and couldn't understand how a dog that was so ferocious just now could suddenly become so obedient.

Su Zhi was also stunned for a moment, and then she understood that the big dog smelled the scent of the spiritual spring on her body, so it was so close to her.

At this time, Shen Zian was running over hurriedly, holding Yueyue in his arms, with Xiaori and Xing'er beside him.

"Wife, are you okay?"

Shen Zian saw that his wife's face looked normal, and that the big dog was looking at his wife like an obedient domestic dog, wagging its tail and making flattering noises. He was not too surprised. After all, his wife could even attract the holy beast, and the animals in the village seemed to like her very much. So it was normal for the dog to be so obedient to his wife.

The three children also asked Su Zhi with concern. Yueyue looked at the big dog and was a little scared. She had just seen that big dog was very fierce, so why did it seem to become as obedient as Dahei now? She thought her mother was still amazing.

Su Zhi shook her head, touched the three kids, and asked what was going on.

Xiaori spoke calmly and told the story. It turned out that Wulang hit the big dog on the roadside with something, and the dog got angry. There were not many people outside the front float except the accompanying men and women, and those people didn't take a dog seriously. As a result, the dog was hit and rushed to the front of the float and screamed. Zhao Xiaohua was frightened and stood up unsteadily, so she fell off the float. Before that, she pulled Wulang off the float...

"The big dog didn't bite us, and then Daddy came."

Xing'er said that he had a good impression of the big dog because it only stared at Wulang and ignored them. He felt that the dog was as smart as the white wolf. Although it was smaller than the white wolf, it was bigger than Dahei and looked really majestic.

Su Zhi listened to this and thought of the rumor about the girl who played the role of Rain Goddess and fell off the float.
