Chapter 124 It Rained For Three Days

"Why is the daylight so slow today?" An old man woke up by himself and looked out the window. It was still gray and dark, with no sun, moon and stars.

It's about six o'clock in the morning. It is reasonable to say that there should be a little sunlight now, but there is not.

When the ancients lost sunlight, the sundial became useless. As a result, even when they were awake, they had the feeling of not knowing what year it was today.

Looking at the sky, it was so dark that it was hard to see what time it was.

After a while, many people woke up and subconsciously looked at the moon in the sky.

If there is no sun to tell the time, the moon can also be used as a reference, but when you look up, you can't see anything, not even the stars.

The sky and the earth are so dark that people feel that it should be more than five o'clock in the morning at this moment, but after waiting for a long time, the sky and the earth are still so dark.

The common people all guessed a possibility, will the sky be covered with dark clouds, blocking the sun?
Impossible, when I went to bed last night, there was no cloud in the sky.

But... everyone is taking a chance. It would be great if it turns out to be as guessed.

Crackling!

This is the sound of lychee-sized raindrops hitting the ground, extremely swift and violent.

There was no strong wind, and the windshield wipers began to rain.

"Old man, it's raining, it's really raining." A woman shouted.

"I heard it." An old man ran into the yard, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof was so sweet.

"Father, don't have a fever, come inside quickly." A young man shouted.

The old man looked up at the sky and spread his hands. He enjoyed the feeling of raindrops falling on his body.

"Father, come into the house quickly."

The old man reluctantly ran back to the house.

Some of the other people put on coir raincoats and ran to the open field to appreciate the rain from the sky and the earth. The rain was several months late, and if it didn't come, all the crops would die.

"It's raining, it's raining." The little kids jumped up and down in the yard, dancing with joy.

"Oh cow, come into the house soon." A woman grabbed one of the little brats and pulled them into the house. Although her expression was stern, she could feel the joy behind that sternness.

In Hangzhou Prefecture, all the counties are performing similar scenes.

The rain was pouring down, and the people put all the jars and other water-capable utensils in the yard at home. After this rain, they don’t know how long it will stop. Saving some water at home will be of great use at critical moments.

By noon, there was finally some light and the heavy rain was still falling.

A few hours later, the heavy rain turned to light rain, and the sky and the earth finally became brighter, and the people were playing in the water-logged yard.

It rained continuously for three days before the sun broke through the clouds and shined on the earth again.

After three days, the plants had enough rain, changed their sickness before, and held their heads high, showing their vitality to the people.

Su Huan slept in the inn for three days, the sun was shining today, he got up early and led his horse, ready to go back to the government office in Hangzhou.

"My lord, go slowly." The shopkeeper personally came out to see him off.

After a few days of understanding, he knew the identities of Su Huan and Pi Langzhong, the imperial envoy who cured the drought, no matter what he did or not, the drought was indeed resolved after the imperial envoy took office, and the people subconsciously thought it was caused by the imperial envoy blessing.

Yinhu Mountain.

Xu Shiping sat on the chair with a dark face.

"The little one begged to go down the mountain to collect the toll, so as to share the worries of the big one." Several young men shouted.

Xu Shiping glanced at several people and waved his hand impatiently. "Go! Go! Go."

Several young men exited the Gathering Hall.

on the mountain road. "Brother Xiao, are we really going to collect protection fees?"

The man called Brother Xiao suddenly laughed, looked around, and whispered in the young man's ear. "No, I'm trying to escape."

"Ah~"

Brother Xiao quickly covered his mouth and leaned close to his ear again. "Keep your voice down, do you want to die?"

"I know, I know."

Several people walked down the mountain.

"With rain, rice can live. Who wants to bear the reputation of a bandit?"

"If my son knows that his father is a thief, he will have no face to look up in the future, and I plan to send him to school."

"If this boy is promising in the future and can be admitted as a scholar, but the government finds out that his father is a bandit, do you think he can continue to be a scholar?"

"Brother Xiao is right. If I can't survive, I don't want to bear the reputation of being a bandit."

"How wonderful it is now, it's raining, God open your eyes."

All the way back to the government office in Hangzhou, the people along the way were all happy. Everyone heard that the sudden heavy rain was after the imperial envoy took office. Everyone wondered if this imperial envoy was a god sent by heaven to save the common people?What a coincidence.

Many people are discussing that the rain came too suddenly, there was no sign before, even those old people suffering from rheumatism did not notice it a few days before the rain, that's why there were rumors about the imperial envoy.

Some people actually mentioned that they wanted to set up a shrine for Su Huan, but they were dismissed by some respected old people.

The more people spread, the more they felt that Su Huan was godly, and they came to the government office to see Su Huan. The result was that the imperial envoy went out to cure the drought, and everyone confirmed their thoughts.

The moment Su Huan came back, he saw people coming out of the county government office, and he and Pi Langzhong rode into the backyard on horseback.

A day later, Xu Shiping's face became even darker. After a group of brothers went out, they never came back, and the women and children staying in the back mountain sneaked away without knowing when.

He didn't notice for a while, and thousands of people left in just one day.

"I promise you, I'll let you guarantee it." Xu Shiping was smashing things angrily, no matter how much he poured cold water on it, he couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.

Liu Tingquan gave him hope over and over again, but in the end he despaired over and over again.

The emperor's dream is close at hand, but it seems far away in the sky.

After this rain, everything was gone, and the morale of the army was slackened. All the recruits who were recruited rushed back to continue to manage their rice fields, and no one wanted to be a rebel.

To put it nicely, they are the rebels, but no one knows that they are thieves. When they were recruited, they were lost because of the hope of living. It was also because the common people found other hope of living.

"Get out, get out of here!"

The younger brother who knocked on the door ran away quickly.

Xu Shiping was tired of slashing with the sword and lay on the ground. He felt that everything was full of drama and he seemed to have no goal in life.

Why does God want to fight against him?Can't you be dry for another two months?It happened that this heavy rain came at the most critical moment of my career.

Suddenly, Xu Shiping's eyes were fierce and he picked up the sword on the ground. "Kill Su Huan, I want to kill Su Huan."

This rain only fell after Su Huan took office, and it was Su Huan, the broom star, why, why is it you who mess up my affairs every time.

It was you who made me unable to be an official. Now even the bandits don't let me be?

Su Hwan, you must die.

Xu Shiping's hand holding the hilt of the sword was shaking because of too much force. His eyes were red, like a cornered animal.
