Chapter 452 Rainfall
Chapter 452 Rainfall
Jiangcheng.
Gu Qingyuan’s daily task was to distribute porridge with the Sixth Princess, and then go door to door to check how many people were left.
Seeing those people's pale and thin appearance, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially when she heard that some people were so hungry that they cooked and ate their children.
She had only heard that during famines, people would eat everything they could.
But you may have heard it, but this is what is actually happening here.
After a brief period of discomfort, Gu Qingyuan adjusted his mentality and decided to completely help the people here solve the drought problem.
The food they brought will be eaten up sooner or later, and the most important thing now is to make it rain in Jiangcheng.
The Sixth Princess asked, "When do you think we can set that forest on fire as you requested and see if it can make it rain?"
Gu Qingyuan looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "It will only be a few days, but I would like to ask the Sixth Princess to go to the forest with me first."
After all, the trap that the Sixth Princess had set for her was still there, and she wanted to let the Sixth Princess suffer the consequences herself.
"Why do you want to go?" The Sixth Princess looked puzzled.
"All things have spirits. If the Sixth Princess were to set fire to such a forest, the gods would probably think she was destroying a living being."
Everyone here is talking nonsense, and Gu Qingyuan feels that this excuse is the only one that the Sixth Princess can believe.
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, she touched her chin and said, "You are absolutely right. The princess will go with you tomorrow."
"To show our sincerity, it's best if we go alone. After all, it was our idea."
She would not let the Sixth Princess die, but she would also make her suffer.
After all, if something happened to her, it would be difficult for him to explain when he returned.
Moreover, the trap was originally dug by the Sixth Princess. Even if she wanted to cause trouble after returning, she didn't dare to make it too obvious. After all, if she investigated, the Sixth Princess herself would be found.
There was a faint smile on Gu Qingyuan's face.
The next day, when the two of them had walked a distance into the forest, Gu Qingyuan suddenly covered her stomach and said, "Your Highness, my stomach suddenly hurts a little. I'm afraid I can't go with you."
"Forget it, forget it. You go back first. I'll just wander around in the woods by myself."
The trap originally set by the Sixth Princess became even more inconspicuous after being rearranged by Gu Qingyuan and Zhaomei Panmei.
Moreover, after Gu Qingyuan left, two white foxes suddenly ran side by side in the woods.
When the Sixth Princess saw the two white foxes, her eyes lit up and she immediately wanted to catch them.
When Zhaomei and Panmei saw her coming, they knew the fish had taken the bait, so they deliberately led her towards the trap.
When they reached the trap, they suddenly hid in the bushes nearby, leaving the Sixth Princess, who was chasing them, standing still and looking around.
She took a few steps forward and suddenly felt as if she had stepped on empty air.
It was not until her body was falling downwards at a high speed that she realized that this was the trap she had set for Gu Qingyuan!
That woman actually dared to plot against me, damn it!
After falling in, the Sixth Princess desperately shouted for help.
Her martial arts skills were not as strong as those of other princesses. After falling in, she tried to climb up, but fell down again before she could climb up.
There were several snakes in the cave, their tongues sticking out. The intricate patterns on their bodies proved that they were highly poisonous.
"Help, help, is there anyone, please come and save me!"
The Sixth Princess screamed desperately in the dark cave.
But no one came to rescue her.
When she was leaving, Gu Qingyuan told the people next to her that she wanted to go out with her to do something and asked others not to follow her.
After Gu Qingyuan found an excuse to leave, he did not go back.
She came to a cliff and called the people of Jiangcheng over.
"Can you really make it rain?"
The people watched her standing on the cliff, looking at her with suspicion.
"nature."
Gu Qingyuan had a calm and composed expression.
She pretended to be mysterious and said, "I dreamed of the Dragon King last night. He told me to stand here and lead everyone in praying for rain today, and he would bring rain to Jiangcheng."
Hearing Gu Qingyuan's words, the people hurriedly asked, "Dragon King? Have you asked the Dragon King why there has been such a drought this year? Is it really because we have offended the Dragon King?"
"The secret cannot be revealed. Now please help me pick up some wood."
The county magistrate of Jiangcheng heard the news that Gu Qingyuan had a way to make it rain, and rushed over panting.
Now, all eyes were on her.
Gu Qingyuan asked someone to bring wood and then set his own wood on fire.
Now there was a raging fire burning on the cliff, and Gu Qingyuan's face became clearer and clearer in the firelight.
Gu Qingyuan turned to the people again and said to them, "I have a way to contact the Dragon King."
After she finished speaking, she muttered something mysteriously and looked up at the sky.
As if there really is something there.
After the wood was burned out on the cliff, everyone felt the heat under their feet.
Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan ordered them to push the dust to the bottom of the cliff.
Someone asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly: "This is called dust removal, which is equivalent to burning all the filth in Jiangcheng to move the heavens."
After saying that, she looked up at the clouds in the sky, and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
Of course, everything she said was a lie.
The Dragon King is fictional.
It's just to make these people believe it.
The people around her looked as if they had suddenly understood something, and they looked at her with admiration.
Suddenly, the sky gradually became gloomy, and it started to rain in Jiangcheng, which had not seen any rain for a year!
"Oh my god, it actually works!"
“It’s finally raining, great!”
"Hurry, everyone, go get some water."
The rain was getting heavier, but the people who were getting wet had smiles on their faces.
Gu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she was just trying. In the "Water Classic Notes", it was mentioned that "in case of drought, burn wood on the cliff, push the ashes down to the abyss, and it will rain soon."
This was the method she used today, and she didn't expect it to really work.
In the trap, the Sixth Princess felt her head wet, and then the rain got heavier, but she continued to climb up without giving up.
But her legs and arms were bitten by poisonous snakes, and she had no strength at all.
Just when she thought she was going to die here, Gu Qingyuan arrived with his men.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you here?"
Gu Qingyuan almost forgot about her.
After returning, he pretended to be anxious and said that he went out with her during the day, but then he had to go back for something. Now he hasn't seen her come back in the evening, so he hurriedly brought people out to look for her.
After hearing this, the Sixth Princess gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm here!"
