Chapter 40
Jin took Ruan Ling's hand tightly and told her not to get lost.
Chen Shufeng and Hui Niang held the basket and followed closely behind Jin and Ruan Ling.
There are so many people.
The closer you are to the Chenghuang Temple, the more crowded it is.
But countless people still came.
The fields are the lifeblood of the people. If the rain cannot rain in time and there will be no harvest at the end of the year, the whole family will have to wait for the wind to drink.
It is impossible to rely on the court to provide relief.
The disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, after layer by layer of exploitation by officials, were just a handful of coarse grains with bran.
Therefore, the people who come to pray for rain all come with supreme pious hearts and bring their best offerings.
Ruan Ling couldn't help but sigh when she looked at so many people.
If these believers come to believe in her, she will send it.
Jin was a little weak, and after walking along the way, she was already very tired. She simply took Ruan Ling and her two daughters-in-law to sit in a tea shop on the side of the road, bought a few bowls of herbal tea, and waited while drinking.
This early summer weather is sunny enough at noon.
"When will the county master come?" Ruan Ling asked with his hand blowing the wind.
"We have to wait until the auspicious time to start." Chen Shufeng smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, I brought pumpkin seeds, you can eat some."
She took out a handful of clean pumpkin seeds from her little bag and put them on the table.
"Thank you sister-in-law!" Ruan Ling smiled with curved eyebrows and chubby cheeks, which was very pleasing.
Chen Shufeng couldn't help but smile.
My sister-in-law's feeling is so beautiful.
"Little sister, come--" Hui Niang brought the peeled pumpkin seeds to her mouth.
Ruan Ling opened her mouth to eat, and said with a smile: "Thank you, second sister-in-law. It's so delicious."
Hui Niang was used to taking care of her younger brother and sister, so she peeled her one by one for her to eat.
Ruan Ling was drinking herbal tea while enjoying the service of her two sisters-in-law, looking around.
In fact, she really wanted to go directly to the City God Temple to see which City God it was.
However, there are crowds of people right now, and there are 80% of the people from the government in the City God Temple, so she can't go in rashly.
At this time, Jin pulled the corner of Ruan Ling's clothes and whispered: "Nannan, look over there-"
Ruan Ling looked in the direction she said and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, looking at this side. The man was short and thin, with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and stingy eyes.
Even Chen Shufeng frowned when she looked at it: "Mom, whose family is it from? But she's so ugly."
"What's the use of a good man?" Jin Shi glanced at her, "The key is whether the person is good..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man scolding an old lady. It seemed that the old lady accidentally bumped into him, and he looked like he was jumping up and down and wanted to eat people.
Ruan Ling kneaded pumpkin seeds to watch the fun.
Jin Shi was a little embarrassed and muttered in a low voice: "This Aunt Zhang is also confused as she is old. Who is this person... I have the nerve to introduce it."
Hui Niang held back her smile and said, "Mom, isn't there another one? Where is it?"
"I don't know if I'm here..." After the vulgar man from the Sun family just now, Jin didn't have any hope for the next one, and was a little listless.
At this time, someone spoke behind them: "Is it Aunt Ruan?"
