Chapter 205: Isn’t it said that Master Mei is very powerful?
On the other hand, when witch Liu hurried to Wusu Town, all the witches with some fame in the surrounding area had already arrived.
In an open space in the center of the town, a large group of people were busy building an altar.
There were several armchairs placed in a shady area not far from the open space.
Several brightly dressed men were chatting in a familiar manner, each of them was followed by two maids fanning them, and the table beside them was filled with fruits and snacks.
A few people were talking and laughing together. As they talked, they pointed at the altar that was being built, and then pointed at the witches who were registering there.
Not far away from the open space, there was a group of teenagers standing nearby. They were all skinny and pale. They were people whose parents were working here and had come to join in the fun. The children looked at the fruits and snacks on the table with longing eyes and swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
"Mr. Jia, this time we spent so much money to build the altar and invite so many fortune-tellers. If we can't get rain, we will suffer a great loss." A thin old man with a goatee said to a pot-bellied middle-aged man next to him.
"Landlord Zhou, what you said is wrong. This time we have jointly set up the altar to pray for rain. Whether it succeeds or not, we will not lose anything. If it succeeds, the villagers in the surrounding area will be grateful to us, and the harvest of our own fields will be preserved. If it fails, it doesn't matter. We can just regard it as spending money to buy a good reputation. At least we have contributed to this drought, and the villagers will naturally have nothing to complain about it." The middle-aged man talked eloquently.
"I don't know whether the little Yuanbao who is rumored to be the reincarnation of the little Bodhisattva has come in Baili Town. I heard from the villagers in Baili Town that he is very mysterious. He uses ghost soldiers to kill robbers and catch ghosts and monsters." A middle-aged man with a stern face sitting in the middle spoke.
"What the chief clerk said is what I have also heard from others. I heard that this little Yuanbao looks weak and cute, but at such a young age he can understand the Yin and Yang, borrow ghost soldiers, and exorcise demons. He is extremely powerful. I wonder if he will come to participate in the rain-praying ceremony this time." The people next to him whispered.
"Now people from all over the place are talking about how magical this little ingot is. In my opinion, it's probably all nonsense. Just a little baby, he's said to catch ghosts and exorcise monsters. Who of you has really seen it? Will the ghost soldiers listen to a little baby? How ignorant." There were also people who didn't believe it and were whispering to the people around them, and the people around them nodded in agreement.
After all, the people in their town had never seen Xiao Yuanbao take action, so it was normal for them not to believe it.
People are chatting leisurely in the shade here, but the open space under the sun is busy as hell.
A large group of people took turns carrying large trees that had been cut down from distant mountains. They then sawed the trees into two sections, using one section for support and the shorter section aside for use.
I was busy like this, and soon it was evening and the sky gradually darkened.
The workers are still working overtime to build the altar.
After those fortune-tellers from all over the country registered and filled out their respective origins, they were arranged to rest in the inn and prepare for tomorrow's rain-praying ceremony.

Baili Town.
Little Yuanbao learned from Qiuqiu that the drought was caused by the drought demon, so he made up his mind to get rid of the drought demon. Otherwise, when the drought demon grows up, the entire Kinmen County will become a desert and all living things will be wiped out.
If it was a real drought demon, the environment of the entire Da Chu Prefecture would be changed and turned into a barren land, making it impossible for people to survive.
However, this severe drought was only concentrated in Kinmen County, which means that the drought demon has not yet grown up and is only a small drought demon.
Xiao Yuanbao pointed out the seriousness of the matter.
Cai was worried, "What should we do now? Xiao Yuanbao? The drought demon is so powerful, we should report it to the court. We ordinary people can't do anything."
The beggar boy who had been silent all this time spoke up, "It's too late to report to the court. Sanbao, go to Zhishu Academy. Didn't Xiao Yuanbao say that Master Mei is very powerful? You also watched him perform how to make fire out of thin air. He said what he meant, and you can ask him for help. He should be very powerful!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Go ask Grandpa Laofuzi to come over and help! Grandpa Laofuzi is very powerful. I can't guarantee that I can beat Hanba. It's good to have more help."
Sanbao also said, "Yes, the old master also said that he was from the National Master Hall. He should be in charge of this kind of thing. Isn't the National Master Hall supposed to make decisions for the people?"
However, he was happy to leave Xiao Yuanbao because he wanted to protect his sister. If anything happened, Dabao and Erbao would beat him to death.
So, Sanbao glanced at the beggar boy next to him and said, "Sister, let the little beggar go. He also knows where the school is. I want to stay with you to protect you."
The beggar boy evaded the question, saying, "I know where the school is, but I can't get in. The gatekeeper doesn't know me and won't let me in to see Master Mei."
Little Yuanbao Chicken nodded, "Yes, Third Brother, if a little beggar can't enter the school, he can't find the teacher either."
Sanbao was familiar with the gatekeeper named Wu Lu.
If I explain the importance of the matter to him, I will definitely take him to see Master Mei.
Sanbao had no choice but to get up and walk to the stable to prepare to harness the horses to the cart.
Before leaving, he turned around and glared at the little beggar, "You must protect my sister. If anything happens to her, I will beat you up."
The little beggar refused to be outdone and made a face at Sanbao, which made Sanbao so angry that he wanted to grab the broom.
After Sanbao left, Xiao Yuanbao took the little beggar and walked towards Liujia Village.
At noon, witch Liu came to ask her to go to Wusu Town to pray for rain. She had to tell witch Liu about the little drought demon, so that they would not waste their efforts and should help find the drought demon as soon as possible. If the drought demon was not eliminated, there would be no rain in Kinmen County.
When Xiao Yuanbao arrived at Liujia Village, the sun was about to set, the sunset glowed, and the whole sky was red.
Little Yuanbao came to the door of Goddess Liu. The door of Goddess Liu's house was closed, and a little black cat was lying at the door.
When the little black cat saw the people coming, it meowed, and quickly ran to the tree next to it. Then it nimbly climbed up the tree, jumped onto the wall of the yard, and looked curiously at Xiao Yuanbao and the little beggar.
Xiao Yuanbao went forward and knocked on the door, calling out "Witch Liu", but after calling for a long time, there was still no movement from inside.
"Xiao Yuanbao, it seems that the witch Liu is not at home. She must have gone to Wusu Town."
"That should be it. Let's go back..."
As he was speaking,
The little black cat on the wall came quietly to Xiao Yuanbao and rubbed his trouser legs affectionately.
It doesn't know why it is not afraid of Xiao Yuanbao, but it feels safe and at ease around Xiao Yuanbao.
Little Yuanbao looked down and saw a little black cat rubbing its head against him frantically, as if saying, "Please touch me, please hug me, please pet me."
He immediately burst into giggles, and rubbed the cat's head with his chubby hands without any hesitation.
"What a nice little kitten! It feels so good to touch you! Are you raised by Goddess Liu?"
The little black cat paused and nodded.
The little beggar looked at Xiao Yuanbao with doubt. When did Xiao Yuanbao become able to communicate with animals?
What’s weird is that the cat even nodded in response?
Played with the little black cat for a while.
They hurried back.
Went to meet Master Mei.
