Chapter 101: Plants Revived
"It's raining! Let's run! If we get wet, scales will grow on our bodies and we'll die!"
Everyone hurried back home to avoid the rain.
Someone knelt on the ground and cried, "Wow, wow, wow, when will this hard life end? My parents, wife, and children were all killed by the poisonous rain. What's the point of me living like a rat? Forget it, I'll just die like this!"
He resigned himself to the rain.
Torrential rain washed down, and the people in the small town looked pale. They stood in their houses with the doors wide open, staring numbly at the accumulated water in the yard. The rain was rushing, heavier than ever before.
"It's raining!"
Li Xiuhe was disturbed by the rapid sound of rain.
Grandma Li listened to the sound of rain and sighed bitterly: "How many lives will this rain take?"
Li Xiuhe looked at the heavy rain outside with worry.
She bit her dry, cracked lips.
God is really blind.
There is no way for ordinary people to survive.
After three years of drought, the rain finally came and ended the drought. People thought it was a gift from God, but it turned out to be God's even worse trick on the people.
Her eyes were red.
Suddenly she thought of the goddess who had given her food.
She said she wanted to save the people!
A great hope rose in her heart.
Great hope mixed with a hint of confusion.
She clasped her hands together and said, "Goddess, please have mercy on the suffering people."
She prayed silently: "Goddess, please save us and stop the rain. If it continues like this, no one in this town will survive."
It is well known to the people in the town that the rainwater after a drought is highly poisonous. Not only can people not drink it, but plants will die if they drink it.
The people of Xiaohe Town have not eaten normal food for several years.
Except for Yunmi Mountain, no plants grew anywhere else in Xiaohe Town.
Although there is a river flowing in the town, the whole town is actually bare after being washed by the poisonous rain.
The people are living a life worse than death.
Life is even more difficult than during the drought.
During droughts, at least people can eat the loess on the mountains, but after the drought, the rain becomes toxic and pollutes the land, and people have no more soil to eat.
The better off they had were the lumps of earth that had been stored previously, but most people didn't even have lumps of earth to eat, so they started cannibalizing each other.
People who die naturally will be dealt with privately by their loved ones.
Li Xiuhe was glad that she had been diligent before and had piled a lot of soil at home.
"Hualai!" The sound of rain was rustling in her ears, and her heart was dead.
We can only place our hopes on that fairy lady.
I just don't know when she will show up.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, she heard a different noise.
"what is that?"
A hint of green emerged from under the soil and instantly turned into something resembling grass.
At the same time, the same scene was seen in other places.
"boom!"
There was a buzzing sound in her head and she was terrified.
"Shit!" she screamed.
The raindrops hitting the grass leaves just now made a different sound from those hitting the ground.
She rubbed her eyes and asked anxiously, "It's grass! How could it be? This rainstorm is poisonous, how can it grow grass?"
She felt confused, longing, happy, and all kinds of emotions. Tears unconsciously covered her face, and a ray of hope appeared in her heart, gradually magnifying.
"Xiu Ha? What are you talking about?"
Hearing her grandmother's words, she said excitedly: "Grandma! It's grass! Green grass has grown on the bare ground outside!"
She excitedly expressed her guess: "Is the rain no longer poisonous?"
“Green grass?” Grandma Li was shocked: “Xiuhe, are you dazzled?”
"No! Grandma, it's really grass, grass is growing outside!" Li Xiuhe laughed out loud, her voice choked with excitement, her smile mixed with tears, she was surprised and happy.
Grandma Li still didn't believe it: "Xiuhe, you must have seen it wrong. Even if the rain water is not poisonous and grass will grow, it is impossible for grass to grow right under your nose. It's impossible!"
Yes!
It takes time for a weed to grow out of the ground.
"Ugh!"
Grandma Li looked at her granddaughter with pity on her face. She felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her granddaughter's brain. She burst into tears and called her poor child in her heart.
Li Xiuhe kept muttering to herself: "It's the goddess of gods. She must have started to save us!"
She quickly rushed out the door and ran straight to the green grass in the rain.
Grandma Li's eyes widened and she screamed: "Xiuhe! What are you doing? Come back quickly! You will die if you get wet in the rain!"
She struggled to get out of bed, only to fall off with a thud.
"Xiu He!" she cried loudly.
"Grandma, you are not mistaken, it is really green grass. The Golden Saint Goddess has begun to cast a spell to save us. We are saved, we are saved!"
Li Xiuhe quickly pulled out the green grass, and a fragrance entered her nose, refreshing her heart.
Seeing her grandmother fall off the bed, she quickly ran into the room and lifted her onto the bed.
She covered her grandmother with the quilt and said, "Grandma, why did you fall off the bed? Are you hurt?"
"Xiu He, are you okay? Why are you so fierce? What if something happens?"
Grandma Li's eyelids trembled. She touched her granddaughter's wet body and suddenly burst into tears: "Wet! Wet! What should I do? You will be covered with scales and then turn into a pool of blood, my granddaughter!"
She cried heartbreakingly.
"Grandma, I'm fine. Look, it's really green grass. The rainwater is no longer poisonous. It must be that the Golden Saint Goddess saw our suffering and mercifully sent down the non-toxic rainwater."
"By the way, I'll take out all the earthen jars to get water."
In the past, when people got wet by the rain, scales would immediately grow on their bodies, and then turn into blood overnight. However, after Li Xiuhe had been wet for a long time, her body was as smooth as before, with no signs of growing scales at all. Grandma Li was shocked.
"How is this going?"
"Could it be possible that Xiuhe, you really saw a god?"
she demanded eagerly.
Li Xiuhe said happily: "Grandma, that's not too late. I will go to every door on the street and knock on them to tell them the good news."
She looked excited.
"Then go quickly. We don't know when the goddess will stop casting rain. Ask everyone to get something to collect water. Then we'll have water to drink."
Grandma Li believed her granddaughter's words.
Li Xiuhe nodded: "I'll go right away."
She ran to the street and saw several people lying on the street, quietly waiting for death. Before dying, they did not forget to drink up all the rain water.
"The rainwater is no longer poisonous, come out and collect the water!"
"Whose child is this? She doesn't mean to harm us. Who told her that rainwater is not poisonous?"
"That's right, his mind is too vicious."
Someone sighed and said, "She seems to be a fool. Don't bother with her. After today, she will turn into a pool of blood. Why bother with a dead person?"
Someone insisted: "If she wants to die, don't drag us down with her. Although life is painful, who would run out in the rain and talk nonsense like her? We all want to live!"
Li Xiuhe came to her senses and realized that no one was willing to believe her.
She argued eagerly: "A fairy goddess appeared in Yunmi Mountain. She solved the problem of poisonous rainwater for us. A green grass grew in our house, proving that rainwater is drinkable now. Look, I have been soaking in the rain for so long and no scales have grown. I will definitely not turn into blood tonight."
"You just believe me!"
