My husband is born again

Chapter 55
The village chiefs went and didn't come back in the rain until it was dark.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it didn't mean to stop at all.

Houses on low ground, the water began to spread toward the house, and if this continues, there will be floods.

The whole village waited eagerly, and when they saw the head of the village came back, they couldn't wait to gather around to inquire about the news.

The village chief's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Sanyuan. He is a strong man in his forties, he is fair and righteous, and he is very considerate of the villagers.

It is very convinced by the villagers.

Ruan Chengde asked: "Li Chief, has the county master agreed to hold a sacrifice?"

Liu Sanyuan wiped the rain off his face, and said with a smile, "I agree!"

"Great, great!"

The villagers raised their hands for joy.

"It's just..." Liu Sanyuan said, "Just one thing, the last time the sacrificial ceremony was held, the yamen had already spent a lot of money. Our county master is an incorruptible official, so we can't afford to hold it again. So we have to pay for it ourselves .”

As soon as they heard that they had to pay for themselves, everyone fell silent.

Ruan Zhiyuan was a little anxious, and shouted: "It's enough for each family to pay a little, and I can't bear to part with that little money. Could it be that I just watched the wheat rot in the field?"

"That makes sense."

The villagers agreed one after another.

In the end, it was decided that each family would pay [-] Wen, and they would get together and hand it over to the village chief, who would then hand it over to the county master, so as to hold the sacrifice in the shortest possible time.

People can wait, but this wheat cannot wait.

The county magistrate was indeed dedicated to serving the people, and he quickly held another sacrifice the next day.

However, the supply of a large number of incense offerings went up, but the Lord City God did not respond at all.

It was still raining.

Now everyone is gone.

Many people knelt down in front of the Town God's Temple and cried.

There were also some people who were disappointed and cast their anger on the magistrate, and threw the sacrifices in their hands at the magistrate.

The half-old government office on the magistrate's body was stained with many stains in an instant.

He stood in the rain and didn't need an umbrella. The rainwater flowed down the wrinkles on his face, which was quite desolate.

"Don't be like this, isn't the magistrate magistrate in a hurry?" The magistrate's entourage hurriedly stepped forward to protect him, crying loudly, "The magistrate has not slept and eaten properly for several days, you blame the magistrate, the rain in this day is not good enough. He didn't let it go!"

Ruan Ling stood behind her parents, holding an umbrella, watching this scene, couldn't help frowning.

What happened to the city god, why didn't he answer the wishes of the believers this time?
Ruan Ling thought for a while, then turned to Jin and said, "Mother, I want to go to the latrine."

"Oh, let your sister-in-law accompany you."

"No need, there is a hut over there, I'll be back soon." Ruan Ling clutched her stomach, "Mother, I'm in a hurry, you wait here for me!"

Holding an umbrella, she passed through the people surrounded by disappointment and despair, and went around to the back of the Town God's Temple.

She wants to go in and find out.

The city god protects the people of a city, and the people believe in him and give him incense and power. If he can't protect the people, it is his dereliction of duty!
The area around the Town God's Temple was in a mess, and no one paid attention to her.

Ruan Ling easily entered the back door of the Town God's Temple, holding an umbrella, avoiding the sight of the yamen servants, and sneaked into the temple.

The Town God's Temple is not small, and Ruan Ling just entered the main hall when a voice came from his ear.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Ruan Ling heard the voice somewhat familiar, turned around, and saw Pei Shu standing behind him holding an umbrella, wearing a blue long gown, with a cold expression on his face.
