Chapter 9 Plants Resurrect, Eat Grass
Gu Yuexi followed the plan and dropped all the rain around the Shenque in two batches.
"Rumble--"
Dark clouds covered the Qihuang Mountain and heavy rain poured down.
"Gousheng, listen, is there thunder?" Gousheng's mother used the rainwater collected during the rain to soak the hay in the yard. This was the daily food for the three of them, mother and son.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in my ears, the sound was far away and light.
She looked up and saw the sky was clear and the sun was scorching.
Having just experienced a rainstorm, she intuitively felt that it was going to rain because of the thunder somewhere, so she asked her son Gousheng uncertainly.
Gousheng listened carefully and suddenly ran out of the house.
"Hey! Where are you going, kid?" Gousheng's mother tried to call her son back, but when she chased him to the door, she found that Gousheng had disappeared.
She sighed helplessly, her son has always been impetuous.
Zhang Gousheng ran all the way up the mountain.
The sun was scorching and I was sweating a lot.
During the three years of drought, the villagers usually did not leave their homes except to look for water and food, because the sun was so scorching that many villagers died under the sun.
"It's the Golden Saint Goddess. She must have shown her magical powers again." Zhang Gousheng said to himself with certainty.
"Boom~~"
"Whoosh!"
The closer we get to the Golden Holy Palace, the more the heat in the air disappears.
"Wow~"
Standing not far from the Shenque, Zhang Gousheng looked at the fairy palace of the Golden Saint Goddess with a smile.
"It's true!" he grinned.
Suddenly, a miracle happened before his eyes.
The cracked land was washed by the heavy rain, the cracks began to merge, and the dead grass and trees on the soil began to grow back again like spring.
In an instant, the black soil was covered with flowers and plants, and the whole world seemed to come alive.
Plants are reviving deep in Qihuang Mountain.
The dry and hard soil under Zhang Gousheng's feet became soft. He looked down and saw that grass and trees had grown on the cracked land.
He was stepping on a bunch of flowers and plants.
"Your Majesty, show your magical powers!"
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.
I pulled a handful of green grass and returned to Taohua Village.
As soon as we left the depths of Qihuang Mountain, the scorching sun once again covered our heads.
"Mom! Grandpa, the village chief, look what I brought!"
The village chief's house and Zhang Gousheng's house live next to each other.
Gousheng's mother was complaining to the village chief's wife that her son was too active.
A group of middle-aged women were gathered together, soaking hay and tree bark in water and chatting with each other.
In times of drought the common people suffered, as there were no crops to feed them; usually they would sit together and share their troubles.
"Mother Gousheng, your Gousheng is here."
"Huh? Why is this child all wet? Did he spill the rain water that I collected?" Gousheng's mother's heart was pounding.
"Mom! Look what I brought back!" Zhang Gousheng stuffed the grass in his arms in front of his mother like he was presenting a treasure.
Gousheng's mother cried out in surprise and was attracted by the thing in Gousheng's arms.
The village chief and his wife were both there.
"This... grass, this is lush green grass!" The village head's wife took a breath after seeing it.
"What are you talking about, old lady?"
The village chief is a little hard of hearing, but normally he can still hear what people around him are saying. But now he feels like he is really a little deaf.
Otherwise, how could I hear his wife talking about green grass?
There is no green grass.
In dry weather, having a handful of hay to swallow is a luxury.
"Oh my god!" The village head's wife yelled excitedly and asked hurriedly, "This is fresh green grass. Where did you get it from, Gousheng?"
"What a fuck!" Gousheng's mother's pupils trembled.
Gou Sheng grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while saying, "Deep in the Qihuang Mountain, it's raining around the Golden Saint Goddess's temple. That rain must be the Goddess's magical power. The rain is crystal clear and has golden divine light."
"It was full of green grass and I saw big dead trees come back to life."
"After we pay our respects to the goddess, we can go there and eat grass."
"Is this true?" People gathered around and stared longingly at the green grass in Zhang Gou's arms.
Zhang Gousheng gave each person a handful.
Everyone tasted it and found it so sweet!
"It's delicious, delicious. I haven't eaten such sweet grass in many years."
"Woo woo, village chief, let's find a time to worship the goddess. I can't help but run to the goddess to eat grass."
"Let's go up the mountain the day after tomorrow. Don't go too hastily and disturb the goddess's practice." The village chief said while chewing the green grass.
"After the people of Taohua Village have paid tribute to the goddess, we will ask her if we can bring people from other villages to eat grass together."
