"It's been a long time since Renjia Town has had such a heavy rain."
The rain hits the grave, so this year is good for farming.
Although it is a good thing to have a rain before Qingming, this is what farmers in the countryside look forward to most.
A good harvest for a year starts with transplanting seedlings. If there is no rain, how many farmers will be able to grow the fields?
Ninety-nine percent of the small Renjia town relies on farming to support their families.
How can we farm without water?
Uncle Jiu looked at the rain in the courtyard like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
This rain!
too big!
"Master! I'm ready."
Russell was wearing a coir raincoat, feeling warm all over his body, without the slight chill brought by the rain.
Uncle Jiu looked away, nodded slowly, took the hat from the side and put it on his head, and stretched out his hand, Russell obediently put his little hand on it.
The two of them, one big and one small, just walked into the rain curtain and walked towards the distance.
At this time, Renjia Town was thundering and lightning, and the wind was howling, as if the dragon king was angry, the heavy rain poured down directly, and the whole street was full of splinters, which seemed extraordinarily rapid.
There were not many people coming and going on the street, most of them were sitting at home, watching the rain on the street sadly.
Rain, too much!
It's not raining here, it's their lives!
The rain is getting heavier and the wind is getting stronger.
Uncle Jiu looked at Luo Su who was struggling more and more against the wind, and asked, "Can you still walk?"
Russell nodded. Although the coir raincoat on his body kept warm and protected him from the rain, it was just that it was not good.
A bit heavy.
It was really difficult for him to wear it and walk in the rain with his small body.
However, this is much better than holding an umbrella.
In such heavy rain, it is almost impossible to use an umbrella.
When the wind blows slightly, the whole person will be directly taken back again and again. Someone like Russell may be able to spiral into the sky.
Russell walked forward on his calves. Today he had to go.
Uncle Jiu just held his hand silently like this, one big and one small, and moved forward slowly like this. They usually walked for half an hour, but they walked abruptly for nearly two hours.
"Boom boom boom!"
After finally arriving at the destination, Uncle Jiu knocked lightly on the door of the family, and after a while, someone came to look at the door.
It was an old man who was lame and half blind in one eye. His face was old and his voice was hoarse.
When he saw Uncle Jiu, his face was shocked, and he spoke incoherently, "Lin, Taoist Lin, why did you come in person? It's raining!"
The man hurriedly staggered away, "Come in and say, come in and say, it's raining heavily outside!"
Uncle Nine nodded and walked straight in. Russell also took a look around.
It was the first time for him to come to this place when he grew up so big, but in the future, he might come here more often.
"It's raining a lot today!"
Uncle Jiu took off the coir raincoat on Luo Su's body, and after only a short while, a large puddle of water was left on the ground.
Without the restraint of the coir raincoat, Russell felt much more at ease.
"Indeed, since I was a child, I have only seen two heavy rains in my memory, and that flood flooded many people.
This time, alas! "
The man sighed, with an inexplicably worried expression on his face, the rain this time was much heavier than the last time.
If it doesn't stop, it won't take two days, just one day, the flood will come!
He thought of something again, and hurriedly searched for tea from the side, hurriedly dug out two broken bowls from the side cabinet, picked up the sand pot and poured steaming water into it.
"It's a coincidence that the Taoist came here. There was nothing to do at home, so I boiled some water. It was still hot. Drink some to warm up."
He stretched out his hand to bring water to Uncle Jiu, but with a cane in one hand and a water bowl in the other, he couldn't hold it smoothly.
Uncle Jiu remained calm, and quickly stepped forward to catch it, "It's exactly what I want, I'm just thirsty!"
He took a bowl and took a sip, "Not bad! Good tea! Fresh!"
"Lin Daochang, amazing!" The man gave a thumbs up. "The tea before Qingming is delicious. I asked the dog to pick it not long ago. It was just stir-fried, and it can be regarded as seasonal tea."
He suddenly looked aside curiously, looked at Russell around him, and hurriedly reached out to bring another bowl of tea on the table.
Uncle Jiu winked, and Luo Su sat directly on the chair on the left. The man was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly retracted his hand.
Uncle Jiu nodded indistinctly, and sat on the chair beside him, and the man took his seat.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but say, "Lin Daochang, why bother you to come to the door in person on this rainy day, don't worry, I will deliver the goods in person, it's just a little rain!"
"I just dropped by, and I just happened to walk this way to bring things back."
"me."
As the man spoke, he couldn't help but choked up a sob. His house wasn't in the town at all, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a wilderness place, so why would he stop by?
He secretly beat his weak left leg, if it wasn't for this leg, why would Lin Daochang come in person.
Uncle Jiu glanced at his leg, put the medicine bag in his hand on the table, and scolded him directly.
"I've told you several times that you must take the medicine, otherwise your leg won't get better after a few more months of training!"
"For the matter of tens of pennies, it has been dragged on for such a long time!"
The man repeatedly said yes, bowed his head and dared not speak.
Uncle Jiu took a deep breath, clasped the armrest beside him with his hands, and finally said nothing.
The house became quiet in an instant, only to hear the rain outside the house getting heavier and heavier, crackling, as if falling on stones.
The man opened his mouth and looked at Uncle Jiu with reverence, "I heard that the Taoist priest has shown his supernatural power recently. In addition to several evil worshipers, the old man Chen who was fascinated by black and white impermanence was also crossed out by the Taoist priest. The book of life and death, if you forcefully snatch it back, you are like a living god!"
Chick!
Russell, who was drinking tea, almost jumped out. What is this?
You just changed Sun Wukong's name!
Uncle Jiu was not surprised, the three of them became tigers, and everyone talked about gold, and often a story would change when it was passed on.
"It's the old Chen's grandparents who accumulated virtues. He was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. It has nothing to do with me, but it will take a long time to recover before he returns to normal."
Uncle Jiu took another sip of tea, "Is everything ready?"
"It's already ready!"
The man pointed to the things piled up on the side, "Same as the ones delivered to your house in the past eight years, one paper house, two paper umbrellas, two paper lanterns, two paper carts, two paper clothes, and a pair of paper candles." .”
The old man's face was full of apology, "I originally said that I would send it to you in the morning, but the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and my leg has been inconvenient for the past few days, which has delayed your time."
"No problem!"
Uncle Jiu looked at Russell, "Is there anything else you want to give? From now on, this will be your business, you grow up."
Russell looked solemn and thought for a while, "Is a paper horse okay?"
"it is good!"
"Do you have Yuan Bao?"
"Have!"
"Paper rooster, paper dog okay?"
The one-eyed old man on the side was stunned. He had never heard of burning paper, rooster, or dog for his parents.
Uncle Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered Russell's only little blackie, Erhei, so he couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he nodded directly.
"it is good!"
Chapter 63
"Daddy!"
Just as Uncle Jiu was discussing with the old man how to transport the paper, a crisp voice sounded from the corner.
Russell was a little surprised. He looked at the house just now, but he didn't see anyone there.
I saw a small head protruding from the pile of paper figurines in the corner, looking timidly at the crowd, holding a bunch of paper wreaths in his arms.
He looked like he was six or seven years old, and he didn't dare to look directly at everyone.
Uncle Jiu was not surprised, and asked casually, "Ah Fu will soon be 13 years old this year. If you study for a few more years, you will be able to ask for marriage when you grow up. Your school will not be left behind."
"Ask for marriage?"
The old man laughed at himself, "The old man doesn't ask too much, I just hope that the dog can be safe and sound, just live!"
"As for reading."
The old man shook his head silently.
People like him are the bottom of the society, so they have to accept their fate!
It's not bad to be alive, how can I hope to study and change my life?
There have been endless battles outside for years, and demons and ghosts are rampant. This is a natural and man-made disaster, and I don't know how many bones are frozen to death on the road.
Over the years, it is unknown how many refugees have flowed into Renjia Town every year, and some continue to flee south with parcels on their backs.
In troubled times, it's good to live.
Especially for a half-blind man like him, who broke his leg some time ago, if it wasn't for Uncle Jiu who took care of him on weekdays, he would buy origami from time to time.
The old man really didn't know how to pull Ah Fu up!
