In the empty and quiet mountain village, the old tree branches at the head of the village are already empty.

The children who played around it in the past are gone; the villagers who used to enjoy the shade under its shade are also gone, only it stands alone on the empty land.

Even the soil on the ground was cracked into huge cracks by the scorching sun.

Looking around, there is no vegetation, and there is death everywhere.

And not far from the old tree, the villagers in the village put together the best table in their home and built a simple altar at the head of the village.

On the side of the altar, stones and stools set up a step.

Wearing the only clean flag outfit she had in recent days, Wu Yu walked up slowly, holding a sacrificial oration with pen and ink in her hand.

The flag dress is the blue color of sky and water, like the most beautiful color in a wild mountain village without greenery.

Behind her, everyone knelt on the ground piously, praying silently in their hearts.

The table was not high, and the steps made of stones and benches were only three short, but Wu Yu walked extremely slowly and heavy.

In fact, Wu Yu didn't think about the process of praying for rain at the beginning, but who let there be a knowledgeable person?

When Wang Lao started preparing to pray for rain from Wu Yu, he talked about the rest of the procedures and rules in a rambling manner, and he was very familiar with it.

However, Wu Yu looked down at the sacrificial oration in his hands, and the altar on the altar not far away, and pursed his lips.

After experiencing drought and disease in Xiaoshu Village, there is really nothing left to offer. Right now, there are only a few pieces of freshly baked sweet potatoes on the altar.

Dry, dark and not autumnal, it looks very shabby.

But this is the last food they can take out.

Wu Yu and the others did bring polished rice, but water is needed for both steaming rice and cooking porridge, but now the only well in the village is out of water.

In the end, it was Song's dexterity, and I don't know how she did it. With a few flying needles, an embroidered handkerchief was turned into an extremely delicate flower, which is decorated next to the sweet potatoes. It doesn't look too simple.

And these are actually nothing, and the most important thing is the stack of sacrificial texts in Wu Yu's hands.

This sacrificial oration was written by Wang Lao, and the paper and ink were all brought by Wu Yu.

But there are pens, ink sticks, and inkstones, but there is no water.

The sacrificial oration to pray to God cannot be written in the silt-filled water under the well, right?In order to show their piety, Wu Yu, Fujin and others, as well as the healthy people in the village, pricked their palms and used blood as water to write the prayer and sacrificial text written in Wu Yu's hand in small script.

Wu Yu held the sacrificial text and recited it devoutly.

The people kneeling on the ground also followed Wu Yuna's low voice, but it sounded like blessings in their ears, making themselves more pure and clear.

Now, they have nowhere to go, they can only pin their hopes on the illusory God.

But, will God really take pity on them?

Everyone was confused. On the first day of the drought, they didn't take it seriously. On the tenth day, No.30 day, and No.60 day, it was not that no one prayed silently in their hearts, but the whole Xuanping, No rain fell.

But now, they are the only people in this small village, can they really ask for God's mercy?

Nobody knows.

But they have nowhere to go.

Just after Wu Yu burned the last sacrificial letter to the sky, a trace of rain stars fell from the sky.

At first, some people thought it was their own delusion, but as the rain stars turned into raindrops, the raindrops turned into raindrops again, and when the bean-sized raindrops ferociously moistened the long-dried land ——

Everyone, such as the proud Fujin and others; such as the proud Wang Lao; put his forehead on the ground.

"That's great, God still left us a way to survive!"

"I have never enjoyed a rain so much in my life as today!"

"It's raining, it's raining, we're saved!"

……

A rain made everyone ecstatic. Regardless of the mud on the ground, they began to dance for joy.

After all, Fujin and the others were concerned about their status as married, they just stood under the old tree at the head of the village, watching with a smile.

The villagers in the village don't have so many scruples.

Healthy villagers stepped on the water and sang songs on the ground at the head of the village; several children splashed water in the small puddle where a large piece of water still accumulated; With tears in his eyes, he slowly knelt down on the ground, scooped up a handful of rainwater with his hands, and sobbed endlessly.

Joyful, joyful, and sad voices sounded, no matter what the reason was, they also brought back vitality and vitality to the previously lifeless village.

This rain was very heavy, like a spark blown by the strong wind, but it started a prairie fire.

A few miles away, the officers and soldiers who were in charge of guarding the road felt their faces turn cold, and when they looked up, they saw a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the cloudy clouds floated over in an instant, and the rain poured down like that.

The rain hit the cold armor, making a "boom boom boom".

But at this moment, no one found the sound annoying. The soldiers who had been guarding the place dutifully had ecstatic expressions on their faces.

They held each other's hands, their shoulders collided fiercely, the sound of metal clashing and rain splashing was so crisp.

They just stood there, running and jumping happily, raised their heads, opened their mouths, and greeted the first rain after the long drought with smiles on their faces.

The government office of Chuzhou, the prince, and Yinzhen were arguing with Zhu Shi with ugly faces.But I didn't want to, after a while, the rain just fell down like that.

It came so heartily, and it came as swiftly as the wind.

The torrential rain poured over the sky, completely pouring down the heat of midsummer, and at this moment the prince and Yinzhen met each other's eyes, and they knew clearly and clearly why the rain came.

"Master Zhu, since 'Jade Medicine Square' has already borrowed medicine from us, should we also send some medicine to Xiaoshu Village?"

The prince almost made it clear that Xiaoshu Village must be preserved, but Zhu Shi was also in a dilemma. It is not known how many people can survive in the place where the disease originated in Xiaoshu Village.

If you rashly connect this place with the outside world, there is no guarantee that the disease that has been contained now will not make a comeback.

In ancient times, the most worry-free and labor-saving way to deal with the epidemic was to solve it from the source.

What is the source?It is a sick person. If there are no more sick people, then do we still have to worry about the epidemic?

"But... this may make all my previous efforts come to naught!"

Zhu Shi frowned in embarrassment, Yinzhen gave him a faint look:

"Did Master Zhu forget who gave the medicine in your hand?"

"Prince, fourth master, I dare not forget the righteousness of the envoys offering medicine to save the people of Chuzhou from danger, but since the envoys donate medicine, they want to make the people of Chuzhou safe and sound.

What the two of you are talking about now may cause immeasurable disasters to the people of Chuzhou. Do you think the envoy will agree? "

As Zhu Shi persuaded, cold sweat was already breaking out on the sideburns where the two of them could not see.Although he is holding a post as an imperial envoy now, how dare he confront the two elder brothers head-on?

However, this matter is related to the safety of the people of Chuzhou and he cannot retreat!

"Could it be, let them trap Xiaoshu Village to death?"

The prince was so angry that he almost jumped up, but Yinzhen held his shoulders. Yinzhen looked at Zhu Shi with lightning eyes, and asked with a frown.

At this moment, Zhu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that these two masters can still listen to the persuasion.

"Of course we have to deliver the medicine. It's just that after the medicine is delivered, the person can't come out again. We must take good care of the person who delivered the medicine..."

"Grandpa, go!"

"Grandpa, go!"

Before Zhu Shi finished speaking, the two spoke at the same time, and then they looked at each other, and Yinzhen put down the prince's hand, and the one beside the cold face became even colder.

The prince also turned his face away and stopped looking at Yinzhen. The two who had been arguing with Zhu Shi just now broke up directly.

Zhu Shi: "..."

A man's heart, a seabed needle.He has become more knowledgeable.

What good place is Xiaoshu Village?He thought he had made it clear enough to the two masters about the stakes in it, but they were still in such a hurry to go, and they didn't know what they were planning.

But what Zhu Shi didn't know was that Yinzhen had seen Wu Yu's miracles with his own eyes, and the prince also knew from Kangxi's mouth that Wu Yu had some tricks.

At this moment, this heavy rain is like a reassurance stone, making them forget about the crisis ahead.

You know, Wu Yu is in Xiaoshu Village hundreds of miles away at this moment, and the rain has already come at this time, which is enough to imagine how much energy she has. If so, is she still afraid of a small epidemic?

Now, the most important thing is to have a sense of presence in front of her!

Zhu Shi is the only one who is good at Chuzhou government office, but he is so powerful that Yinzhen and the prince can't compete with each other, and then they all went back to the house to pack their things.

The prince is alright, the concubines here are all thinking of him, and whenever he says he needs to pack things, he will do his best.

But when Yinzhen returned to the courtyard, he remembered that all his wives and concubines had gone to Xiaoshu Village, and luckily there was Su Peisheng available, otherwise he would have to do it himself.

Yinzhen frowned, pursed his lips, and sat watching Su Peisheng pack his things. The room was very quiet, but the prince's place was not so peaceful.

In the main room, Cheng Fang Fujin broke his gentle and dignified image for the first time, and raised his voice sharply:

"Prince! I didn't hear wrong, did I? You said you were going to Xiaoshu Village, where Wu Gege took people? Sibeile would also agree?!"

"Of course the fourth child can't, but the grandfather must go!"

As soon as the prince flicked his braids, he opened his mouth and asked Cheng Fangfujin to prepare some light clothes for himself, but at this moment Cheng Fangfujin looked at the prince in a rather distraught way:

"No, this is not allowed! Have you forgotten, Prince? That Wugege is the Gege who was brought into the mansion by four beiles, and was bestowed by the emperor himself! You, you can't do this!"

"Don't talk too much, it's a woman's opinion! I don't need you to teach me how to do things! He Zhuer, He..."

The prince belatedly remembered that he had sent He Zhu'er out to look for the garrison of the Chuzhou government, and was going to do nothing else, but first attack the two neighboring government offices who were watching the fire from the other side.

The prince who has been spoiled since he was a child will never suffer!

But because of the prince's words, Cheng Jie Fujin seemed to have lost his soul, so he couldn't help the prince pack his luggage, so when the prince stuffed some things in the bag at will, when he went out, he saw Yinzhen riding a horse and leaving. Go back.
