Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 97
Some of the ten boys and girls begging for rain are from the same village, and the rest are from other villages.There are not many children who lack fathers and mothers, and at the same time, they must look good and not be too old, so it is not easy to get them together.

These ten children were washed clean and put on new clothes, and those who did not have new clothes also borrowed them.Put a red dot on your forehead.Beating small gongs and drums.Singing the song of praying for rain in unison:
The red sun is burning like fire,
The wild rice is half-scorched.

The farmer's heart is like soup,
Little children cry and mourn,

Pray to the Dragon King for heavy rain.

A few strong men carried sacrifices in front, and children walked in the middle, parading along the river and reeds, followed by people watching the excitement.

Aunt Li followed the crowd with her hands on her waist to watch the fun, and Yang Yun, Yang Mo, Yang Laoshi and others all followed.Xiaobai followed for a while, then disappeared.

A woman praised Li Zhu to Aunt Li: "Big sister, your family is to support people. Look at how long your niece has only been here. It looks like a different person. She looks more and more fresh."

The other women also echoed: "That's right, hey, she looks a lot like you when you were young."

Although Aunt Li spoke politely, she looked very proud.

It is said that the niece follows the aunt, but Li Zhu really looks a bit like Aunt Li, with an oval face, red phoenix eyes, fair and delicate, and looks gentle and quiet.Among the several nieces, Aunt Li loves her the most, and there may be some reasons for this.

This song of praying for rain is not enough to be sung once, but it has to be sung non-stop.Li Zhu's voice was almost hoarse.It's not a good job to have a big sun above your head and be treated like a monkey along the road.

Xiaofeng was very excited, but also a little shy.It was the first time for her to show her face like this.Li Zhu encouraged her when she was free.

Now she started to worry again: "Xiaozhu, you said if we don't ask for rain, will others blame us?"

Li Zhu comforted her and said, "Maybe I'll be off tonight."

The children in the team laughed when they heard this.But they can also just wish it rained.Not only for themselves, the crops in the field can't wait.

After a day of tossing, Li Zhu almost suffered from heat stroke. She quickly dripped the Lingquan into the water, poured two large bowls of cold boiled water, and went to bed without eating dinner.

Xiaobai doesn't go to the kennel to sleep, but insists on sleeping in her room.Li Zhu had no choice but to let it go.Yang Laoshi has decided to raise another watchdog.Xiaobai became a pet dog.

No one expected that people would be awakened by the thunder that night.

"It's raining, it's raining." Yang Laoshi shouted loudly.

It rained in the middle of the night and stopped the next morning.The fields are already drenched, and the wilted crops are full of water and become refreshed.

The children of the rain praying team felt that they had prayed for the rain.

Anyway, the people in Yangjiaji looked at Li Zhu more and more kindly.Even Xiaofeng's treatment was a little better. Her stepmother cooked an egg for her.

The beams are on the roof, and the rain is begging.As soon as Aunt Li's waist improved, they continued to set up stalls in the county.

"We're not here these two days, that woman surnamed Zhou must be very happy."

Li Zhu said: "That's not necessarily true, maybe something bad happened to her family."
