As she spoke, she looked up through the gaps in the trees, clasped her hands together, and said:
"Heavens above, I, Chi Yu, beg you in your great mercy to grant me rain."
It doesn't require the entire Da Chu, or even the entire Jianzhou Prefecture.
All we need is a spot in Anping County, or the entire Chijia'ao area.
Ideally, this rain should last for two or three days, thoroughly drenching my Chijia'ao area.
The lake at Tiger Head Cliff can be refilled with water!
After saying this, for reasons unknown, she knelt down and kowtowed three times.
As she did this, Chi Qiao thought of the hardships faced by ordinary people, and truthfully repeated her words.
He then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Unbeknownst to the two sisters, after their pleading, the sky above Chijia'ao and the Beilian Mountains, which had been bathed in the blazing sun, was gradually obscured by clouds.
The clouds were white, but after one night, they were slowly replaced by dark clouds.
When Fang Shizhong led his men out of the Beilian Mountains, they heard people along the way saying that it was going to rain in the area.
They knew the light in the forest was dimming, but they didn't think much of it.
The moment they emerged from the forest, the sky, which had been overcast for two days, suddenly began to pour down rain.
People who were originally going into the mountains to fetch water stopped going in and instead stood there shouting and jumping like madmen.
He placed the wooden bucket on the ground to collect water, and then took a bath in the rain.
Fang Shizhong looked up at the overcast sky, then at the bright white sky in the distance, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Sure enough, it rained. Chi Shi really is a fairy descended from heaven.
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to be greedy beforehand, and when he knelt down to pray for rain, he didn't specify where he wanted the rain to fall.
If he changes his mind and asks again now that she's casting a spell, he'll only anger her.
Well, it's good that she's confirmed to be a fairy.
At least millions of people will not die from thirst.
All he needs to do is confirm that the fairy is Amu's wife and is on his side!
Thinking about all this, Fang Shizhong didn't care about his image and, along with County Magistrate Wang and others, wearing straw hats, braved the rain to go down the mountain to Chijia'ao.
They planned to stay at Lao Chi's house for two days.
We'll freshen up properly then, and wait for the rain to stop before heading down the mountain!
It's a pity that such heavy rain is falling in this small place.
If they flow into the upper reaches of the Chu River, they will eventually flow into the river.
At that time, more people will no longer have to worry about drinking water!
The rain in the Chijia'ao area lasted on and off for three days before it finally stopped.
During this time, people who heard that it was raining in this area rushed here.
The men and children stood there taking a refreshing shower in the rain.
The woman, on the other hand, brought over the dirty clothes that had accumulated at home to wash.
They rarely come alone; they usually come in groups of a few close friends.
They might be mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, sisters-in-law, sisters, or mothers and daughters.
After entering a rainy area, the first thing to do is wash the clothes.
Then they took out the cloth they had brought, tied it around the tree, and stood inside to take a shower in the rain.
They helped each other keep watch, and after they finished washing and collecting the rainwater, they carried it back home.
Because of the rain, almost all the residents of Anning County not only had a good bath, but also stored up a lot of water in their homes.
The temperature in both Chijia'ao and Xiechi'ao dropped significantly due to the rain.
The stream in Beishan, which had dried up, began to flow again.
The old well in Chijia'ao, which had dried up, and the dried-up lake at Hutouya were also refilled with water.
No one knows who said it first, but people in both villages were secretly spreading the word that the rain was sent by the heavens at Chi Yu's special request.
