Sister Liu felt suffocated. She didn't know how to answer the children's questions. All she could do was caress their heads and say, "Good children, good children …"
When Red Boy saw this scene, he stood up and came in front of Fangzheng. He rubbed his nose as his eyes reddened. He said unhappily, "Master, when are we going back? They are a bunch of fools … They make me want to cry. "
Fangzheng chuckled, "Jingxin, a monk does not lie. What do you want?"
"Master, I seem to have recalled how to summon the wind and rain," said Red Boy with a flushed face. He usually despised mortals the most. They always looked down on others. Even though he had been repressed by Fangzheng a few times, it was difficult for him to change his nature. When he saw others in trouble, he felt that it was because they were too weak. It was just like Mt. One Finger's drought. He did not feel that he had the obligation to help anyone. Instead, he was taking advantage of the situation to reap the benefits.
Fangzheng immediately laughed when he heard that. He patted Red Boy on the head, "In that case, go ahead."
Red Boy felt his Dharmic powers surge. At that instant, he laughed.
Fangzheng said, "Alright, stop showing off. Find a place with no one around and fiddle with it yourself."
"Don't worry, Master." After Red Boy said that, he ran off. It was unknown what he did, but before long, a strong gust of wind blew in the sky. It was a little moist and cold.
Village Chief Lei looked up into the sky, "This wind … Is it going to rain?"
"We haven't had rain in a long time. Could it be that the heavens have opened their eyes?" mumbled a villager.
Dachen tiptoed as he looked into the distance, hoping to see a cloud. After looking all day, indeed, a dark cloud floated over.
"There's a cloud! There's a cloud! Village Chief, there's a cloud! Master, there's a cloud! "Dachen shouted in excitement as he pointed into the distance.
Village Chief Lei could not close his mouth from laughing. He raised his hand and smacked the back of Dachen's head. He said with a laugh, "Little bastard, we aren't blind yet. We see a cloud. It's a huge cloud."
"It's going to rain. That's not right. It's not the rainy season yet," mumbled someone.
"Who cares if it's the rainy season or not. As long as it rains, it's good."
"You're right …"
The group of people stopped doing anything. Whether it was the elderly or the children, the teachers or the students, the village chief or the villagers, they all stretched their necks and looked into the distance. There were even people who climbed onto the roofs, as if they could touch the clouds first by doing so.
Fangzheng smiled when he saw this. He thought to himself, "This Red Boy is indeed powerful. He actually managed to get a rain cloud."
However, at this moment, Red Boy returned with an awkward look on his face.
Fangzheng asked, "Why are you back? Could it be that your [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] also operates automatically? "
Red Boy said bitterly, "Master, I haven't cast the spell yet. It floated over naturally. It has nothing to do with me."
Fangzheng was taken aback as he looked at the distant dark clouds. He got up, pressed his palms together, and silently said, "Amitabha. Buddha blesses all life."
Not long after, dark clouds floated over, followed by the sound of thunder. Not long after, heavy rain poured down! At that instant, all the villagers and volunteers jumped up in excitement. No one hid in their homes. All of them ran out to jump and jump. It was as if it was not a storm, but a carnival!
Of course, the elderly definitely did not have the energy to do so. All of them ran back to take out pots and pans to collect the water!
The heavy rain lasted for two hours before it ended. When the rain cloud floated away, the villagers looked at the tail of the dark clouds longingly. They wished that the rain would continue.
On the way back, Village Chief Lei sighed, "Sigh, Teacher Sun is getting older. He will be leaving next month. There's no new teacher. The children are in trouble."
He Ming frowned when he heard that, "Are there no other teachers?"
"Our village is remote. It's fine for outsiders to stay here for a few days, but who would be willing to come if it's too long?" said Village Chief Lei helplessly.
He Ming nodded and did not say a word.
Fangzheng fell into deep thought. Although there was a school, what was the use of a school without teachers?
At noon, He Ming, Yao Yuxin, and company were having lunch at Village Chief Lei's place. Two large tables were set up, allowing everyone to sit comfortably. The dishes were local dishes. There was no meat or fish, but there were quite a number of dishes. It was quite a sumptuous meal.
At that moment, Village Chief Lei walked in from outside. In his hand was a huge wine jar sealed with mud. He chuckled, "Everyone's luck is pretty good. The stubborn old man in the village has finally been enlightened. He has contributed his treasured wine. It's aged for ten years. Haha!" As he spoke, Village Chief Lei placed the wine jar on the table and removed the mud seal. Immediately, the fragrance of the wine wafted out.
He Ming took a sniff and exclaimed, "This smell sure is great! Haha! We are in for a treat! "
Yao Yuxin came over and took a sniff. She squinted her eyes and said, "It's really good wine. No way, I want a big bowl!"
"You drink too?" Ma Haomiao was surprised.
Yao Yuxin said, "I recently learned it. Why? Can't I? "
Ma Haomiao laughed dryly. He did not dare retort.
Fangzheng was also very curious when he took a whiff of the fragrance. He was naturally no stranger to wine. One Finger Village had quite a number of alcoholics, such as Tan Juguo, Wang Yougui, Yang Hua, Dog Song, and company. It could be said that men in the northeast took pride in drinking. They took pride in being able to drink. Some families gave their children alcohol from a young age. When they grew up, all of them would be little wine jars. However, this trend had been curbed in the past two years. After all, drinking alcohol at a young age was not only harmful to the body, but it was also rumored to affect one's mental development.
In this era where learning was paramount, the villagers had no choice but to change their habits.
Fangzheng was no stranger to wine, but he was also unfamiliar with it because he had never drunk it before. Although he had been mischievous when he was young, he absolutely did not touch something as spicy as wine. Now, when he took a whiff of the wine fragrance, he was even more curious. What was so different about a ten-year-old wine?
Red Boy stretched his neck and looked over. He was almost like a giraffe.
Fangzheng rapped him on the head, "Keep your thoughts to yourself. Don't do anything rash."
Red Boy curled his lips and said bitterly, "Can't I just take a look?"
Fangzheng asked out of curiosity, "Do you know how to drink?"
"What do you mean know? Back in the day, I was the Boy Sage King. What good wine had I not drunk? I've even drunk the finest nectar from heaven, "said Red Boy smugly.
Fangzheng nodded. "That's right. Since you've drunk it, it's not too much of a loss to abstain."
When Red Boy heard that, he said bitterly, "You really can't drink it? Master, you haven't drunk wine before. That's the good stuff. "
