Chapter 343 Severe Drought in the State of Qin
The time came to mid-June, and the entire Canglong Continent entered the midsummer season.

This season is the time when the crops grow vigorously; but this year's weather is unknown. Since May, there has not been a single rain in the Daqin Realm. Many crops in the fields are malnourished due to insufficient rain, and grow into mature crops. Withered and withered.

This is hard for those ordinary people, since the beginning of summer, they have nothing to pray for rain every day, or they have to carry a pole on their shoulders and run dozens of miles to fetch water from rivers and rivers.

But there is no doubt that it is still a drop in the bucket, and the entire state of Qin sighed and fell into wailing.

For this reason, Qin Shihuang could not give an order, and ordered Jing Xing, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion, to ask the sky for rain to relieve the drought.

So on the sixteenth day of the sixth month, Jing Xing, the owner of the Tianji Pavilion and Master Xuantian, set up a nine-star celestial formation on the Tianji Table, hoping to pray for rain from the sky.

However, in the anticipation of hundreds of millions of people in Qin State, Jing Xing failed to pray for rain.

Qin Shihuang was furious, deposed Jingxing Tianji Pavilion from the position of master, and demoted him to a commoner.

The Tianji Pavilion failed to pray for rain, and the first emperor could do nothing, so he could only order the river to be reclaimed and the inflow canal to alleviate the drought loss.

For a while, the entire Qin State fell into a downturn.

……

Qingshui Town is a small town with a permanent population of thousands of people. It is located near the border of Qin State; ten miles to the north of Qingshui Town, there is an official road called Huarong Road, which is a road connecting Yan, Qin, and Chu; Because of the particularity of the Tao, merchants and adventurers from the Three Kingdoms often pass by here.

About ten miles north of the official road, there is a Qingshui Mountain and a Qingshui River. The river water there is the basis for the survival of the residents of Qingshui Town. Every day, residents of the town go to Qingshui River to fetch water for daily life, especially Since the beginning of summer this year, the drought has been severe, and the residents have been more diligent in commuting to and from the Qingshui River, because they need to use the water from the Qingshui River to irrigate the fields that are already drying up.

Daniu is an ordinary resident of Qingshui Town. He is only 16 years old this year, but he is five big and three thick, and his height is close to two meters. Everyone knows that Daniel is less courageous than anyone else.

Just like now, when Daniel finally walked to the official road with a big tank filled with water, he saw Zhang San from the same village carrying a bucket to fetch water from the Qingshui River.

Seeing Zhang San, Daniel lowered his head and turned slightly, speeding up his feet, trying to avoid him.

"Daniu!" But Zhang San blocked Daniel in the middle of the official road, and patted Daniel's solid chest with his bony hands.

"What are you doing?" Da Niu whispered.There was a hint of fear in his tone, it was hard to imagine that such a big man would look like this when facing a small man.

"What are you talking about!" Zhang Sanyi slapped Daniel on the forehead, put the bucket in his hand on the ground, and said viciously, "Don't fill it up yet."

Daniu was slapped, his head subconsciously shrank back, the big tank on his shoulder shook, overflowed a little, splashed on Zhang San, and got wet all over.

"Pff~ bah~ big bull! How dare you throw water at me?" Zhang San was furious, and sternly said while wiping the water droplets on his face with his hands.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Daniel was a little timid, with a look of fear in his eyes.

"I beat you to death, you son of a bitch." Zhang San didn't want to listen, so he picked up the wooden barrel and threw it at Daniel.

Daniu was afraid that the water in the tank would be spilled again, so he closed his eyes and stood still to resist this.

'Clap~'

The wooden barrel was hit on the back of the bull and was shattered directly.

Zhang San was dumbfounded for a moment, pointed at Daniel and said, "You broke my bucket."

"No...not me." Daniel stammered, trying to explain.

"It's you! I don't care, you have to pay, lose money, hurry up!" Zhang San interrupted Daniel's words, as if Daniel would not give up until he paid.

"I~ I have to keep my money to marry a wife, so I can't give it to you." Daniel said aggrievedly.

Hearing this, Zhang San sneered, and said with contempt on his face, "You're just looking for a wife? Even if you find it, you'll have to steal it sooner or later. Don't talk nonsense, take it out quickly."

"I don't!" Although Daniel was afraid, he valued money very much and refused to give it.

"Hey...don't give it, right?" Zhang San rolled up his sleeves, picked up the broken wooden barrel staves on the ground, and hit Daniel, saying while beating, "Will you...will you give it!"

Daniu let Zhang San beat him with wooden barrels, gritted his teeth, and would not lose money.

"drive!"

Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses came from the direction of Qingshui River. Zhang San was beating the bull. When he heard the sound, he was frightened and turned pale. He dropped the wooden barrel and ran towards the town.

"Where to go!"

'咻~'

An arrow shot at Zhang San.

Zhang San was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, put his head in his hands, and begged for mercy: "Grandfathers, please forgive me... please forgive me!"

'Pfft~'

The silver-white arrow pierced into the ground next to Zhang San accurately, the arrow feathers trembled constantly, and the vigorous and powerful "Qin" character on the arrow glistened under the sunlight.

"Woo~" Reining in the horse, two snow-white horses appeared on the official road. Their appearance was almost the same as that of ordinary wild horses, but there was a silver-white long horn on their foreheads, which was particularly conspicuous.

On the steed, two handsome young men sat on it, looking at Daniel with a smile on their faces.

"Da Niu was bullied by Zhang San again? It's really pitiful."

"Thank you for having such a strong body, you are blind for nothing."

Daniu was not angry when he heard the two men taunting him, instead he patted his head and said with a simple smile: "Elder Master and Second Master, where are you going?"

The head of the family waved the whip in his hand, and said with a proud look: "Of course I went to recruit soldiers and buy horses to expand my Qingshui village."

"Pa~" The second master on the side opened the folding fan in his hand, fanned the wind, and said with a smile: "By the way, let's go to Yihonglou, which is famous in mainland China."

"Hehe~" Daniel didn't know what to say, he could only smirk.

"I said Daniel, or you can follow us. As long as you nod your head and agree, the position of the third head of Qingshui Village will be yours, and you will save yourself from being bullied by this rascal every day." The head looked at Daniel and said expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Daniel shook his head violently and said, "I'm not a bandit."

The head of the family was immediately unhappy when he heard it, and looked at Daniel and said, "What's wrong with the bandits? Bandits are also a skill, okay? I, Qin Xiaogan, am determined to become the biggest bandit leader in the Canglong Continent. As long as you follow me, Daniel, At that time, it will be no problem to marry as many wives as possible."

"You can't even find a wife..." Zhang San muttered.

"Huh? Did you let your rascal talk? Second brother, shoot him to death." Qin Xiaoqian frowned and said.

The Erdangjia nodded, raised his bow and put in the full string of arrows, aiming at Zhang San.

"Grandpa Qin Shou, please spare me!" Zhang San was so frightened that he turned to Qin Shou, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Qin Shou showed disdain on his face, and put away his bow in a boring way. This kind of rascal, killing his arrows would be dirty, and was about to ask him to go away, when he suddenly felt something unusual, frowned, and subconsciously went to the back of the official road look.

Qin Xiaoqian turned to the same direction with a serious face at the moment.

'Da~'

'Da~'

'Da~'

On the official road, clear and slow footsteps sounded; it was strange, the sound was not loud, but very calm and powerful.

'Da~'

Gradually, the voice became clearer and clearer, and a figure appeared on the official road.

White hair, rickets, old.

Barefoot, sack trousers, naked body.

There is something in the shape of a book on his back, his bare upper body is engraved with small golden characters, and he holds a black exquisite pagoda in the palm of his left hand.

'What a strange person. '
