The people dispersed, and Taoist Xuantian put away the statue and incense burner.

The rain hadn't stopped yet, and he was holding an umbrella in one hand and packing his things with the other.

"Youyou said that this incense ash is also a good thing, we must take it back!"

Taoist Xuantian was quick and agile. He packed his luggage quickly, then disappeared in the rain with an umbrella.

The heavy rain in Yunbai County came suddenly and urgently. Everyone was immersed in hope, but few people noticed that there was something wrong with the heavy rain.

When heavy rain falls on the ground, it emits a momentary aqua blue light.

It's so fleeting that it's almost invisible.

But almost everywhere touched by the rain, there are different changes.

It fell on the tree, and the branches showed a little bit of tender green.

Falling on the grass, the dry and cracked land also revealed a little green.

When it falls on a person, the wounds on his body are almost healed.

After three days of heavy rain, everyone went out of their homes and found that the originally dry, yellow and cracked earth was now green and full of vitality.

While the people were shocked, they also believed that it was the goddess who appeared and gave them a chance to survive.

Now it’s August and it’s too late to plant anything in the fields.

Only winter wheat has not yet produced a harvest.

But with these greens, plus relief from the court, and by tightening my belt, I can hold on until next spring!

Zhang Ping and Zhang Tu got hold of the situation and sent the information about Yunbai County to Sheng Jing overnight.

Taoist Xuantian doesn’t know any of these things.

Because he has now arrived at the next county town, which is also the county town adjacent to Nanyang Prefecture and Yanmen Prefecture.

Qingsong County.

The roads passing through Yunbai County are almost all steep mountain roads.

Almost all of the walking is on foot, which is very difficult.

Taoist Xuantian took great pains to climb over several hills on foot and finally saw the city gate of Qingsong County.

There was a loud thunder overhead, followed by heavy rain.

Taoist Xuantian was dumbfounded.

"Eh? What's going on? I'm still here, who made it rain for them?"

Without time to think, Taoist Xuantian hurriedly took out his straw raincoat and hat and put them on to avoid getting wet.

"Are we going to Qingsong County or not?"

Taoist Xuantian below was still struggling, and there was a little boy crying in the clouds above his head.

"Woo woo woo, it's all because of Lord Wind God tricking me into drinking, which caused Lord Rain God to scold me."

"Woo woo woo, if I let him fool me again, I'll be a dog!"

"Woo, woo, woo, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I made you suffer. I'll give you more rain."

With a snap, Yu Le felt a pain on his head.

"More rain? Do you want them to drown?"

“You didn’t starve to death in the drought, but you drowned in the flood?”

Yu Qing's voice of disappointment was heard.

"Can you please be more careful?"

Yule's eyes were filled with tears: "I understand, Master."

Yu Qing glared at him: "Hurry up, your performance this year has already failed. If you keep dawdling, you might as well not have a meal!"

Yu Le felt even more aggrieved and had greater resentment towards Feng Jia.

The rain in Qingsong County is sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

After seeing this situation, Taoist Xuantian simply returned home.

After weighing the pros and cons, it is more comfortable to stay in Yujia Village.

It took another ten days or so before Taoist Xuantian finally returned to Yujia Village.

He talked about the situation in Yunbai County and Qingsong County.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It is good if it rains. If it rains, the people won’t suffer.

Taoist Xuantian returned to the village and continued to teach everyone.

The weather in August was hot and the shed was really stuffy.

Liu suggested that it was time to put the construction of a new house on the agenda.

But before that, there is one important thing.

That is harvesting rice. The heavy rice ears bend the rice seedlings.

The villagers of Yujia Village are all in a good mood.

When every household was immersed in the joy of harvesting grain, Yu Lin suddenly remembered something.

Regarding the tax increase again.

When he went to Patriarch Wang to tell him about this, Patriarch Wang sighed and said, "Just hand it over. What else can we do if we don't hand it over?"

But is it really normal for the imperial court to levy such high taxes?

no one knows.

The increase in taxes dampened the joy of harvesting grain.

No one is happy about the fact that 40% of the grain collected has to be handed over to the government.

Yu Lin said that it could be offset with silver, but few villagers were willing to use silver to offset it.

The first and third branches of the Yu family listened to Yu Lin and chose to offset the debt with silver.

It just so happened that at the beginning of the year, each family received some silver from selling ginseng.

After the autumn harvest, the weather took a sharp turn for the worse. Although it was still hot in early September, it was not as severe as before.

The second branch of the Yu family also began to prepare to build a new house.

When the news spread, it instantly became the talk of the whole village.

Everyone thinks that the second wife is rich because of Yu Lin, but in fact only they themselves know the real situation.

The current house of the second branch of the Yu family is the house that Liu built after she and her husband separated.

The land was not small back then, but there were only these people living in the second house, so not many could live there.

Only one third was used to build houses, and one third was used to build vegetable gardens and pig pens.

The remaining one third had been in a panic, but now Yu Lin is also allowed to raise rabbits.

There is really no way, there are too many rabbits.

The weather in September was neither rainy nor cold, so the entire second household moved into a makeshift shed.

The original house had to be demolished and rebuilt, and it was also expanded.

At the very least, all the originally enclosed land should be used.

Finally, the family decided to build a two-story courtyard, with a front yard and a back yard.

There are five rooms on the first entrance and six rooms on the second entrance.

The five rooms at the entrance are the kitchen, main hall, guest rooms, lecture hall, and where Xuantian lives.

The second courtyard has one room for Mrs. Liu, one room for each of her three sons and daughters-in-law, and one room each for Yu Feng and Yu Ze, for a total of six rooms.

Building a blue brick and tile house like this is undoubtedly a big project.

However, Yu Lin and Zhang have traveled far and wide and have done all these jobs, so they are craftsmen themselves.

In the village, people basically build houses by themselves.

Among them, Sun Chengshan is very proficient, and the others will only need ten or so people.

Yu Lin offered everyone the market-standard wage.

Twenty cents a day, including lunch.

As soon as this was said, many people signed up.

In order to speed up the progress, Yu Lin directly asked for twenty people.

In addition, brothers from several branches of the Yu family also came to help spontaneously.

All together, there are thirty people.

With so many people working and providing them with meals, naturally someone is needed to cook.

Although it was just one meal, it was still a considerable amount.

Liu was able to handle the work with her three daughters-in-law.

A lunch consists of rice, vegetables, meat and soup.

The rice is steamed by mixing old rice and brown rice.

The vegetables were side dishes grown by the second branch of the Yu family in their own fields, and the meat was bacon, including pork and roe deer meat.

The soup is made from dried vegetables that were dried at the end of last year.

Fry the dried vegetables with lard, then add water and bring to a boil. It is very fragrant.

At lunch time, the adults were eating with relish.

Youyou held the door with his hand and moved out step by step.

Anxious face: "Kiss... times... meat..."

After saying this, he sniffed it with a look of longing on his face.
