Chapter 688: In the Heavens, Are There Really Immortals?
In Situ's mansion, Wang Yun and Fu Wan colluded together, and other mansions in the city were also lively.
"Have you heard of that? Lu Bu erected a high platform outside the city, roasted locusts, and said that he was asking for rain. ”
"Let him do it, how many times have we begged for rain before? Did it work? Useless! It's such a big day, it's good to die of heat! ”
"Xu Shangshu, what do you think?"
"Well, I don't think so."
"If he can ask for rain, I'll jump from this building!"
A few people at the private party sneered, wishing that Lu Bu would die.
In the palace, Liu Xie sat on the threshold outside the palace, tilting his head slightly and looking up at the sky, no one could guess the thoughts of this young emperor.
"You say, will it rain?"
Liu Xie asked the henchman eunuch next to him, and his slightly immature face revealed a little complicated color.
Guanzhong has been in drought for several months, and Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, naturally hopes that God can rain down early.
But at this moment, he didn't hope that God would rain so much.
A day passed, and the sky did not fall, and many people in the city were already happy in their hearts.
On the contrary, the number of people who accompanied the prayer for rain increased significantly compared to the daytime.
Lu Bu sat on the high platform, looking at the night sky dotted with sporadic spots, to be honest, he didn't know if he could ask for rain.
But he believed in banter.
The gentleman said that if there is rain, there will be it!
At this time, a small figure sneaked up the stairs on the table, tiptoeing behind Lu Bu.
"Guess who I am?" A pair of small hands like lotus jade blindfolded Lu Bu's eyes, and there was a slight playfulness in the silver bell-like voice.
"Little Bell, why are you here?"
Lu Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth, he didn't have to turn his head, he already knew that it was his lively and lovely daughter.
"Hmph, it's not fun, it's not fun, every time Daddy can guess it."
The little bell let go of her palm, pursed her mouth, and muttered in disagreement. In order to hide from her father's ears, she also deliberately put the bell on her waist into the bag, who wanted to be guessed at once.
It was very boring for her.
Seeing his daughter's puffing appearance, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh a little, he pulled his daughter to sit down beside him, and smiled and apologized: "Okay, okay, this time it's Daddy's mistake, okay?" ”
The little bell 'hummed', and then took out a lot of green fruits from the bag and held them in Lu Bu's palm: "My mother said that my father hadn't eaten for a day, and I was worried that my father was hungry, so I secretly brought some fruits to satisfy my father's hunger." ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were slightly moist.
Although these are just very ordinary fruits, filial piety is priceless. Therefore, my daughter is the intimate little padded jacket, and those two bastards may not know where to play.
Lu Bu was moved in his heart, and touched his daughter's forehead lovingly, but said: "Did the mother tell you that praying for rain is sincere and spiritual, and you can't eat halfway." ”
The little bell shook her head, obviously unaware of this, she looked up at the night sky, the stars were shining in her eyes, she was full of innocence and asked, "In the sky, is there really a fairy?" ”
People always say that there are gods who are three feet above their heads, but after living for so many years, who has really seen them?
Lu Bu picked up a green fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it, he told his daughter that as long as he didn't do bad things, he didn't need to be afraid of the gods in the sky.
"That's it!"
The little bell is full of joy, and she is always full of curiosity about the unknown.
At the behest of the little bell, Lu Bu told her the mythological stories of ancient times, which were also stories he occasionally heard when he was a child.
Whether it is true or false, there is no way to verify.
As he spoke, the little bell gradually became sleepy, lying on his father's lap and sleeping peacefully.
Looking at his sleeping daughter, Lu Bu showed a gentle smile on his face, and the lively little bell on weekdays became extremely well-behaved when it was quiet.
Lu Bu ordered someone to bring a pu fan and shake it gently to fan his daughter to dispel the heat.
At this time, Lu Bu is no longer a fierce general on the battlefield, just a simple father who loves his daughter.
The next day, the rooster announced, revealing a touch of fish belly white on the horizon.
The little bell pillowed on Lu Bu's lap woke up slowly, rubbing his sleepy eyes with his hands, yawning, as if he hadn't slept well last night.
Seeing this, Lu Bu helped the little bell to sit up, and after stretching his waist, he called Chen Wei and sent the young lady back to the mansion.
The little bell followed Chen Wei away, while Lu Bu continued to meditate here.
If he leaves, how will he explain to the people below who are praying for rain together?
The morning passed quickly, and after the smoke rose in the city, it was time for the afternoon.
The sun was still shining, scorching the earth.
Looking at it like this, it is estimated that not half of the rain will fall today.
The people who prayed for rain gradually lost hope in their hearts, could it be that the heavens were really going to destroy them?
Only Lu Bu sat in place, his eyes closed, like an old monk in a trance.
From the beginning to the end, he believed that God would rain it!
Beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks and fell onto the wooden plank beneath him, and they were quickly dried by the heat.
Approaching dusk in the afternoon, the sunset fell on the horizon, and the sunset was as red as fire.
I thought that the day would pass like this, but suddenly, the flags erected on all sides began to wave, and then whirring violently.
The wind is blowing!
Lu Bu, who was sitting on a high place, stood up, his body standing upright, his black hair fluttering in the wind, and his clothes fluttering.
As far as the eye could see, a large area of dark clouds was rolling in from outside the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in just a few blinks, it had already covered the sky above Chang'an.
Thundered!
Advance into the sky above the night mode, lightning and thunder.
It's finally waiting for you!
Lu Bu showed fanatical war intent on his face, I don't know if he had hallucinated because he hadn't eaten for too long, his eyes looked through the layers of clouds, behind the dark clouds, it seemed that someone was really beating drums and giving orders.
If I can go up for nine days, I will slaughter you!"
Somehow, Lu Bu's mood at the moment became particularly irritable, which coincided with the roar in the dark clouds.
Whoa!
In an instant, torrential rain poured down.
After several months of severe drought in Guanzhong, the first rain after the beginning of summer finally ushered in.
It's raining!
It's raining!
The raindrops the size of beans crackled, some fell in the dry river, some got into the soil, and some hit the body.
Instead of feeling the pain, the people who knelt on the ground and prayed for rain stood up and ran and shouted in the rain.
"God didn't blame us, this shows that Da Sima did the right thing!"
"Da Sima saved us!"
"Long live Da Sima!"
"Hooray!"
In the pouring rain, tens of thousands of people danced and celebrated, the rain and tears blended together, and there was an indescribable emotion in their chests.
