I am a fairy
Chapter 10 Dragon Appears with the Rain
Chapter 10 Dragon Appears with the Rain
The snow began to melt and the weather began to warm up slowly. It was really spring.
But at this time, many people came to a high slope of Yunbi Mountain, where sheds were erected with wooden pillars. Many people rested here, and some people were working.
Among these people, some came to escape disaster.
And some people come here because of its reputation.
"Will there really be a dragon appearing in the world?"
"I have lived my whole life, but I have never seen what a dragon looks like."
"But it's been several days and I haven't seen anything."
"It's a manifestation of the gods, how can it be wrong?"
"But has anyone really seen a fairy?"
The servants under Liu Yitou were maintaining order. Two Taoists, one fat and one thin, were squatting in the corner, staring intently at the location of Zhangjia Village in the distant valley. Many vendors, river workers, sailors, and people dressed as scholars were sitting or standing nearby.
Some people even took advantage of this opportunity to start a business, carrying poles and selling food and tea.
On this originally barren high slope, people who were seeking shelter from disaster, watching the excitement, worshipping gods, watching jokes, catching evil spirits, and doing business all gathered together, making it very lively.
In the shade under a tree, two young boys and girls were sitting on a blanket, with two servants and a maid standing beside them.
The young man was impatient by nature and became a little impatient after sitting and waiting for less than half a day.
"Sister!"
"Why didn't Grandpa come?"
The boy and girl were Jia Gui's children. The older daughter was smart and of course understood some of her father's thoughts, but she didn't say them explicitly.
"After the mud dragon is born, Grandpa will appear to arrange the aftermath. This is the real big deal. Now Grandpa is making preparations."
"Besides, we just arrived in Xihe County, and my grandfather has a lot of official business to deal with in the county office, so we can't get away for the time being."
This is also the reason, but the daughter knows that there are other reasons why her father Jia Gui did not come.
Although Jia Gui was 90% convinced that he had met a god, his years of being an official and being cautious in the government made him like to leave room and a way out no matter what he did or said.
On the one hand, Jia Gui sent people to spread the rumor of the appearance of gods to create momentum, but he did not say that he was the one who met the gods. Instead, he strictly prohibited his family members from leaking the matter, which seemed to be very low-key.
He met Liu Yitou and his followers in the back hall and went to arrange their tasks, but he himself did not show up.
He thought that if the mud dragon was born, then he would be a god with 100% of his strength, a true god made of pure gold, and would no longer have to worry at all.
If the mud dragon had not come out, he would have had room to maneuver and would not have fallen into the mud pit all of a sudden.
It has to be said that Jia Gui is a man who has been in officialdom for a long time and is very clear and shrewd in calculations.
However, at this moment, the daughter felt somewhat disgusted with some of her father's actions. Although she could not say it openly, she still murmured something.
"Our grandfather is just too shrewd."
The young man heard his sister's words: "Isn't it good to be smart?"
The girl shook her head: "Sometimes people are too smart, which makes them not smart enough."
If Jia Gui's cleverness were used on ordinary people, it would surely be beneficial. However, for some people, you are too calculating. Your little calculations are clear to others. Being too shrewd will put you at a disadvantage.
Perhaps this is part of the reason why Jia Gui was demoted here.
As I waited, the sky gradually darkened.
Nearly half of the people on the high slope also left, one after another, and went home. Before leaving, they said something dissatisfied.
"I didn't see anything."
"I guess not today either."
"I just said it was a trick. There is no such thing as a dragon."
"Be careful with your words, or the gods will punish you."
"There are no dragons, so where do the gods come from?"
As it was getting dark, the young man finally couldn't sit still anymore and said to his sister.
"Sister, let's go back too!"
My sister also nodded, but just as she stood up, she suddenly said something as if she had received a blessing.
"Or, let's go to Jiangbi and take a look?" The young man: "Hey, it's so late now?"
My sister said, "Only at this late hour, maybe we can meet a fairy."
Of the two, the elder sister rarely talks much in public, but she is usually the one who makes the decisions.
After saying this, the two of them set off with two servants and a maid, heading towards the river along the mountain path they came from.
Halfway through the journey, it was completely dark.
Sister: "Can you light the lantern?"
Maid: "Yes!"
But as soon as the maid lit the lantern, she saw wet marks on the wall of the lantern, accompanied by a dripping sound.
Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked towards the sky, and instantly felt a chill on their faces.
"It's raining?"
The group looked at the sky which had been clear just in the evening, but was now covered with dark clouds.
Then, a ray of light flashed from the gap between the dark clouds.
"Boom!"
A loud thunder exploded in everyone's ears, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
Inexplicably, the five people in the group felt an intense fear surging into their hearts, like ice water penetrating into their bones, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.
At this point, the young man hurriedly said.
"Sister, it's raining, let's go back quickly!"
And my sister looked at the sky, as if she had thought of something.
"rain?"
"thunder?"
"No, we can't take shelter from the rain. We need to leave here quickly."
Boy: "What's wrong?"
Sister: "When a dragon appears in the world, it is destined to be accompanied by wind and rain. This thunder has brought wind and clouds. The dragon is about to escape from the mountain and fly out."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned pale and even their hair stood on end.
In this mountain path, let alone encountering the escaped mud dragon, even the slightest vibration caused by passing by from a distance would be enough to make them disappear silently in this mountain.
Even his body could not be found, he was buried forever under these muddy mountains and rivers.
Moreover, it was easy to go down the mountain, but it would not be easy to go up at this time. My sister immediately made up her mind and said to others.
"Let's keep walking and go to the river."
They said they were leaving, but at this time no one could remain calm and walk slowly.
A group of people ran quickly in the rain, running along the road towards the river.
-
On a high slope.
As it got dark, many people had already started to rest, but as raindrops hit the roof of the shed, shouts were heard all around.
Someone shouted in a local accent: "It's raining."
The sleeping person was drenched by the rain and immediately cried out, "It's raining! The rain is leaking in."
Someone said impatiently: "Why is it raining at this time?"
At this time, most villagers were concerned about their belongings first: "Watch your things carefully, don't let them get wet."
One by one, figures immediately climbed up and heads popped out to look outside.
The rain is getting heavier.
You can't see the rain in the darkness, you can only hear the sound of the rain.
"Crash!"
