Chapter 148: Many Doubts
Wow!
When they heard that everything was fine, everyone's tense expressions relaxed. They were filled with excitement, thrilled, and even more proud.
Lai Fu's brows lightened with joy, his smile washing away the fatigue of a night of tree-cutting. "Master Lu, we Aozigou people have always loved to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva since we were back home. I didn't expect that after worshipping so much, Guanyin Bodhisattva would protect us. How else can we explain this water?"
Mr. Lu was already confused!
He also believed in Buddhism, but he didn't believe in miracles. But how could he explain what he saw? Some time ago, when the people from Aozigou were in town, they not only discovered a well of water on the mountain, but also in the government office.
In fact, he began to doubt it at that time, but he found some excuses and wondered if it was because of the terrain.
But it’s too far-fetched to explain what’s happening right now by using the terrain!
But Master Lu was a smart man. Since the water was fine and everyone was so happy, why would he discourage others for something he couldn't even explain? So he said, "It seems that the villagers of Aozigou are very blessed. Congratulations! With the water source, our chances of survival are much better."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, followed by congratulations and cheers. Wang Dafeng was surrounded by the women in the village.
"Auntie, did you really see a dragon?"
"Did the dragon talk to you?"
"How does a dragon spit water?"
"Hey, auntie, what does a dragon look like?"
Wang Dafeng looked around, then suddenly her eyes turned and she pointed in a direction: "The dragon looks like Xiaodie."
What?
Everyone looked back in confusion, and saw a forked branch on Ding Xiaodie's head. Ha, so that's how it is. Isn't it true? The legendary dragon has horns. This old woman is really funny.
The women smiled knowingly and continued to ask questions.
Ding Xiaodie on the other side secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard the old woman say that the dragon looked like her, she was so scared that she quickly put the branch on her head. Otherwise, everyone would definitely find it strange why the dragon looked like her.
call!
She let out a long sigh. It seemed that the old woman was half awake and half confused. For example, when she saw Ding Xiaodie releasing the water, she seemed to be awake, but she couldn't explain it clearly when others asked her, so she said that Xiaodie was like the dragon.
Not to mention her, even Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu were shocked.
Therefore, Zhang Xiu quickly squeezed into the crowd and pulled the old woman out: "Alright, alright, ladies and aunts, you all know about my mother's health condition. Enough asking, I'll take her back to rest."
"Okay, go ahead, but go slowly!"
The women made way awkwardly.
In the past, they all thought that Zhang Xiu was unlucky. How could a person have such a mother-in-law? Well, now there has been a big turnaround. No other mother-in-law would be so lucky. The old woman can actually see dragons, which shows that she is a blessed person.
Since the old woman is a blessed person, then Zhang Xiu is also a blessed person?
Well, now I can only envy you.
On the other side, Ding Gui urged the village chief Lai Fu: "Brother, let's line up like we did at the government office and each family can get some water. The elderly and children at home are really thirsty."
This time, the villagers did not rush to grab water like they did in the government office. There were two reasons for this: first, Mr. Lu was there and they did not dare to grab the water; second, after cutting down trees and fleeing to the mountains together, everyone had more or less developed a sense of collective survival in their hearts, and they all knew that it was wrong to grab the water by themselves.
So this is why Lai Fu is happy from the bottom of his heart.
Lai Fu naturally didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he said, "Alright, let's line up and share the water. But I have to say, everyone, if it weren't for Master Lu, we would all be killed by those beasts by now. So, what do you think? Shouldn't this first bowl of water be given to the Lu family?"
"Yes, we must thank Master Lu."
"We in Aozigou will never forget Mr. Lu's kindness."
Mr. Lu clasped his fists with some emotion: "We complement each other, and the Lu family is grateful to you all."
Just as everyone started to distribute the water in a lively manner, Ding Xiaodie boredly took off a thin branch and put it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes and watched the happy expressions of Dabao and Erbao, two honest guys. It seemed that they would not go back to Yangliu Town to fetch water, so she felt relieved!
"Xiaodie."
Lu Xingluo's smiling face came closer, and he grabbed her ear and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Ding Xiaodie opened his hand: "Second Young Master is in a good mood!"
"Of course. Look how happy everyone is when this dragon suddenly appears and spits water. By the way, did you see the dragon?"
"No." There's no way around this topic, right?
"Then did you ask grandma if the dragon was white or black?"
"Uh, what's the explanation?"
Lu Xingluo immediately put his hands behind his back and turned around in front of her: "I once read a book that said white dragons are responsible for rain during the day, and black dragons are responsible for rain at night. If that's the case, then tell me, was the water spitted out by the white dragon or the black dragon just now?"
Ding Xiaodie frowned: "..."
What kind of crappy book is this kid reading?
But he said, "You know my grandma was so frightened by the earthquake that she lost her mind. It's already amazing that she could say the word 'dragon' in such a situation. As for the color, I guess she didn't see it clearly! Anyway, I can't ask her anymore, otherwise if I stimulate her again, I'm afraid her brain..."
Ding Xiaodie twisted her fingers together to indicate that asking the old woman any further would make her even crazier.
Lu Xingluo immediately said with a serious face: "You are right, it is better not to ask about this matter anymore!"
While the two were chatting happily, Lu Chenhe looked at them in the crowd. A trace of worry flashed across his handsome face, but when he saw the jade whistle he had given her hanging on Xiaodie's chest, he couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingluo also noticed it at this time: "Hey, isn't this my brother's jade whistle?"
He reached out and took the jade whistle in his hand to confirm: "It really is my brother's. No wonder he said he wanted to find you yesterday. It turns out he wanted to give you this."
"Young Master is always considerate of others, and I would be disrespectful to refuse him." Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to say.
"If I had known you would accept, I would have given it to you!"
Lu Xingluo's expression dimmed for only a moment, then he raised his eyes and smiled like the sun again: "But Xiaodie, I'm very happy that we escaped this time. At least we are still alive."
"That's right." Ding Xiaodie reached out and patted his shoulder: "You must live well in the future."
"Second Young Master."
Ding Mei suddenly appeared from behind some tree. Before coming out, she straightened her dress and messy hair.
Alas, it’s so embarrassing to meet my sweetheart at a time like this!
Lu Xingluo wasn't frightened by her this time, because Ding Mei didn't wear the monkey-butt makeup. Out of politeness, he asked, "Xiaodie, is she your cousin?"
