Chapter 445 The Tragic Life of a Fisherman’s Daughter (9)
As time goes by, the drought in the inland area becomes more and more serious.
Except for the heavy rain that lasted for seven days and seven nights, it has not rained for almost a year and a half.
Even the freshwater well in the fishing village doesn't have much water left.
"Oh my God, I don't know how dry the inland is. Even those of us living near the sea are starting to run out of water!" Jiang's father sighed.
Although they are close to the sea, sea water cannot be drunk directly, so even Jiang's father began to worry.
Fortunately, Su Li was well prepared. "Dad, Mom, I found a small island when I went out to sea. There is plenty of water on it. How about we live there?"
During this year and a half, Su Li, in addition to practicing, was looking for a small island overseas with abundant spiritual energy.
Everything there was arranged properly, with mountains, water, chickens, ducks, geese and various poultry and livestock.
I believe the Jiang couple will like it there.
Because, the next people she would face were those extraordinary people, and she didn't want to be caught in a weak spot by them, so she could only place Jiang's parents in a safe place first.
"But..." Jiang's mother hesitated. They have lived here for more than ten years.
If we let them leave their homes like this, we will feel too reluctant to let them go.
"Mom, let's go first. You can come back after I ease the drought!" Su Li said with a smile.
"Relieve the drought? Xiaoqing, are you saying that you can alleviate the drought?" Father Jiang was slightly surprised.
When did his daughter become so powerful?
"Dad, have you forgotten the beads that Ali gave you? That one can control the wind and rain." Su Li said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right, how could I forget about this!" Father Jiang slapped his forehead.
Instantly, he understood Su Li's thoughts, "The reason why you want to take your mother and me to the island on the sea is because you are worried that others will spy on the beads in our hands and kill people to steal the treasures, right?"
Su Li nodded.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Father Jiang soon realized his intentions.
"Okay then, I'll go to the island you mentioned with your mother!"
Father Jiang thought for a moment and said to Mother Jiang, "Wife, let's go and come back when the drought is over."
"Okay." Although Jiang's mother was reluctant, she still stood up and began to pack her things slowly.
Su Li also helped to clean up.
A few days ago, she had sensed that the state governor she had seen before had stepped down.
Then, the next person to be appointed must be the governor of the state that killed the original family and attempted to steal the treasure.
So, her plan can be implemented!
After sending Jiang's parents to the island, Su Li also prepared enough rice, flour, oil and other food for them to last for several years.
As for the Jiang family in the fishing village, Su Li also got two spirit beasts and transformed them into the appearance of Jiang family's parents and continued to live.
Next, Su Li gradually revealed his abilities.
"Xiao Qing, what are you doing standing on the beach?" Aunt Liu, the most gossipy woman in the fishing village, asked curiously as she looked at Su Li standing at the door of her house with some fruits and a bead on the altar.
"Auntie, I'm praying for rain!" Su Li pretended to be innocent and told the truth.
What she did was actually to use the other party's mouth to tell others that she owned the Water Spirit Pearl.
This time, without the Zhao family spreading rumors, Su Li threw out the bait himself, letting the provincial government and those talented people take the bait!
"Pray for rain? You can pray for rain?"
Aunt Liu laughed out loud, "Xiao Qing, you are just a kid, stop joking. You will easily offend the Sea Dragon King if you do this!"
"Really?" Su Li curled his lips.
She pretended to bow, and then an idea came to her mind.
The originally blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, shrouding the entire fishing village.
Then there was thunder and lightning, and heavy rain fell.
"It's raining! It's raining!" Children's laughter rang out in the fishing village.
Su Li then withdrew the power of water, and the sky immediately returned to its blue color.
"Huh? Am I dreaming? Did it really rain just now?" Aunt Liu, who was equally excited, was surprised to see the rain suddenly stop.
Su Li smiled but said nothing.
"Xiao Qing, is this really the rain you prayed for?" Aunt Liu couldn't believe it.
If it weren't for her wet clothes proving that it had indeed rained heavily just now, she really thought she was just dreaming.
"Of course." Su Li nodded affirmatively.
"Great! How did you do it! Xiaoqing, how did you do it?" Aunt Liu looked excited.
"It's this bead. This bead gives me the ability to pray for rain!"
Su Li pointed at the beads on the altar and said, "It allows me to communicate with the Dragon King of the Sea. I prayed for rain through it!"
"Really? That's great! That's great! We are saved!" Aunt Liu ran excitedly to tell other people.
Su Li curled his lips as he watched her disappearing figure.
The culprit who spread rumors and misled the villagers in the fishing boat has been eliminated by her, and the remaining ones are some simple-minded old people, women and children.
As for why I know.
Of course, she learned this from the cats and dogs she let out.
Whether a person is evil or not can actually be known from the attitude they treat cats and dogs.
Su Li is not one of those people who would implicate innocent people. The culprit is dead, and as long as other people don't have evil thoughts in their hearts, she doesn't like endless killing.
Soon, the villagers learned that Su Li could pray for rain, and they all came to the Jiang family.
They knelt in front of Su Li, "Emissary of the Dragon King, please pray for rain again! It's too dry! Please!"
Su Li looked around, sensing whether they had any resentment in their hearts.
Then, he nodded, "Okay!"
Soon, a shower of sweet dew came and lasted for a full hour.
The villagers went home one after another, took their own wooden buckets, basins, water tanks, etc., and happily collected the rain water.
The news of the rain in the fishing village gradually spread to the town, the county, and the state...
"What? You said that a little fishing girl from a fishing village in Hai'an Town can actually have the ability to call the wind and rain?" The new governor's surname was Ke. He listened to the report from the county magistrate of Hai'an Town with a questioning look on his face.
"Yes, sir! It is said that the fisherwoman named Jiang Xiaoqing is the messenger of the Dragon King of the Sea. She has a bead in her hand that can communicate with the Dragon King of the Sea. She prayed for rain through that bead!"
The county magistrate quickly replied, "I also sent people to investigate in that fishing village. It did rain heavily, and the wells were still full."
"Really?" The governor's eyes showed greed.
He looked at the county magistrate and said, "In that case, you should bring all the members of the Jiang family to the altar in the state capital. I want her to pray for rain in front of me."
"Yes!" After the county magistrate went out, he rode back to his county government office at full speed and led his men to the fishing village.
Su Li had already sensed it when they arrived at Hai'an Town.
"Are you finally here?" She curled her lips into a smile and put the spirit beast that transformed into Jiang's parents into the space.
