027 Ask for rain

Although Bai Shaoqing repeatedly blocked it, many people voluntarily knelt down behind her and begged for rain. It was only two days later that the number of people had to be reduced. Under such a hot sun, it was not easy to survive with only a little water and food brought by Ningcheng, and they had to kneel in the hot sun to withstand the scorching sun. Later, all the hundred The surnames and their guards came to persuade, but Bai Shaoqing still persisted. Everyone was puzzled by her behavior, but they gave up stopping her because of her special identity.

Bai Shaoqing raised her dim eyes and looked at the burning white light. Her hands covered by her robe tightly grasped her clothes, and her legs were unconscious, but she knew that she could not give up.

In these days, the people's urgent idea of returning home has been gradually faded away by the cruel facts in front of them. The spring of their wells for water is getting shallower and shallower, and the pace is difficult. The guards of the same company also began to plan to retreat. Every day, disaster victims fled back to Ningcheng. The huge team at the beginning has now been reduced by 40%.

Do you really want to give up this land? A large part of what Bai Shaoqing has learned from Xiang over the years is to observe the star phase. Coupled with the information collected from the farmers, she judged that this drought has not yet come to an end, but if the people give up this time, it will be a wasteland for thousands of miles in the future.

At this time, what they need is confidence. With confidence, they can dig wells more attentively and harder, believe, and have hope. And she is the best person to do this. Bai Shaoqing deeply understood her responsibility and looked up at the clear sky for a moment. She closed her eyes safely and condensed her strength to resist the burns on her body.

Seeing that the national teacher was so calm, everyone's dry eyes gradually calmed down. A young man shouted "Let's go," and many men picked up tools again and walked in their respective directions.

A team going south walked out for a moment and passed by a carriage. How could such a carriage appear in this wilderness? There were six riders behind it. The people on the horse were all dressed in hardcover and looked awe-inspiring. When the eyes of the people touched the six people, they felt a little cold in their hearts. They hurriedly turned away and went their own way.

The convoy drove slowly and came to the place where they were stationed. An escort came forward to cross-examine. The defendant was a passing businessman who wanted to quench his thirst. Naturally, there was no objection here. On the way, I often meet refugees who ask for water and food. Although these people don't look rich or noble, there is nothing they can do when walking outside and encountering wasteland. The guards took out water and gave it to them. The six people got off the horse to thank each other and gave it to the carriage first. When the people in there drank it, they dared to drink it. Although the guards were a little curious, they just looked at the beginning and still stared at Bai Shaoqing on the mound in the distance.

Suddenly, a voice behind him said, "I'm disturbing you. Who is the person in front of you?" The guard turned his head and saw that he was a man in blue among the six. He looked at his smiling face and his tone was also very flattering. The guard said, "That's our national teacher of the Great Qin Dynasty," he was a little proud to say, "I know astronomy and geography."

"Ah, that's it. So is she begging for rain like this?

"Hey, you have a little eyesight. The national teacher is indeed begging for rain."

The man exclaimed, "It's really amazing."

"Naturally, our national teacher is not an ordinary person, but a saint who protects the State of Qin."

"Ah, it turns out that this is the famous saint of the Xiang family. I didn't expect to see her here. It's really a blessing."

The guard looked at him proudly, and the man said, "But... there is no sultry wind on this day. Will it rain?"

"The national teacher has been begging for four days. It should be soon."

"The master didn't say which day he would go down?"

"No, I'm sincere."

"But how can the master of the country stand such a poisonous sun? Don't be tired, tut."

Hearing his concern, the guard looked at his smiling face and nodded, "Yes, we also persuaded day and night, but the national master insisted that we had no way."

"The only thing that can bless God is that it's going to rain soon." The man sighed sincerely, shook his head and walked back to the carriage. He said these situations. The hanging curtain on the carriage slightly raised a line, and the sunlight penetrated into the corner of the curtain, revealing a pair of bright eyes, but staring at the white figure in the distance without blinking.

The convoy had been parked on the roadside, and the guards ignored it. At night, they did not ask the guards for food, but also asked for some water, as if they had eaten dry food. The guard thought that they might also want to see the situation of the national teacher begging for rain. After a little inquiry, they would no longer pay attention to it.

Bai Shaoqing only used the water sent by some guards to move the food. It's not that she doesn't want to eat, but that she is on the verge of the last bottom line at this time, and the numbness has spread from her legs to her whole body. At this moment, even if she wants to move her fingers, she has to use most of her strength. She is unwilling to show weakness in front of people, let alone unwilling. When everyone saw her situation, they came forward to dissuade her, so they simply closed their eyes and rested, and transported their inner power to protect their hearts over and over again.

This night was the same as usual. There were still a few guards who took turns to watch the night, and some people who knelt behind her. The night was dark, but it was extremely quiet, so quiet that there was not even the smallest breeze. Except for the straight figure of Bai Shaoqing, there was only the carriage hidden in the dark. The curtain on the car has not been lowered, and the shining eyes have not been removed from her since the beginning.

In such silence, another night passed. The next morning, when everyone saw the bright white sky, they couldn't help but feel a little depressed. However, looking at the figure of the national teacher, the people still set out. From the beginning to now, it has been nearly five days, and the guards also began to worry. At this time, without Yan Lin's presence, and everyone did not dare to make decisions. Therefore, although they were worried, they could only discuss a few words in private.

He was talking here, but he heard the footsteps behind him. The man in blue came again. The guard frowned and said, "You haven't left yet?" The man smiled and said, "My master admires the national teacher so much that he won't leave. What can we do?"

The guard glanced at the carriage and nodded in agreement. The man in blue said again, "But I saw that yesterday until now, the national teacher just drank a little water. How can this work? After all, this is also a drive of flesh and blood. We big men can't stand it, let alone a woman. I said you'd better go up and persuade. It's amazing to go on like this."

These words just came to the hearts of the guards. Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Unexpectedly, they just moved their steps. One of them suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Just now... there was a wind... Do you feel it?"
