Chapter 622 Long drought brings rain
The place where Long Yun stayed was not far from Shanhaiguan, which is in the area of Suizhong County and Jianchang County.
To the north of here, there has only been a little rain since last spring, and only a little snow in the winter, and there are no large reservoirs or other bodies of water nearby.
The land is severely parched, with yields dropping by 80 percent last year. The situation gets worse the further north you go, with some areas experiencing even a light rain.
The common people have basically run out of food. If the country hadn't provided the corn provided by Li Moer, the people here would probably have had to starve and dig wild vegetables to survive!
The planting season was about to arrive, but it seemed as if God was deliberately against them and not a drop of rain fell. The farmers stayed in the fields every day, looking at the cracked land due to drought, in silence.
Nowadays, the land has been subcontracted to households. They all want to take good care of the land that was previously collective and now their own, in order to produce more food and feed their wives and children. However, the weather is not on their side.
As usual, the farmers were sitting in their fields worrying early in the morning. Suddenly, a large dark cloud floated in from the south.
The old farmers all stood up quickly, their hands on their awnings, and looked in the direction of the clouds. The more they looked, the more excited they became. Tears welled up in their eyes, and their lips trembled as they muttered, "It's going to rain, it's going to rain. I was afraid of the southeast in the morning, and the northwest in the evening. We're saved! We can finally plant! God, please help me!"
As the dark clouds descended lower and lower, large raindrops clattered down. The farmers, unable to contain their joy, rushed out into the rain, arms wide open to welcome the long-awaited downpour. Children also rushed out to play, their laughter echoing across the fields.
The rain grew heavier, and the dry land greedily absorbed the water, slowly becoming moist. The old farmers watched all this, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that this rain not only brought hope for sowing, but also brought a turning point in their lives.
The rain continued for most of the day, finally letting up in the evening. The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and the earth exuded a fragrance. The farmers, unconcerned with the rain, picked up their tools and began plowing the soil and sowing seeds. As they toiled, they talked about the promise of a good harvest, as if they could already see it coming.
The clouds brought by Long Yun were about five hundred square kilometers in area, but it did not intend to let all the rain fall here. It just shook its tail again, and the clouds began to roll and the area continued to expand until the area reached one thousand square kilometers. Only then did it fly above the clouds and its tail began to swing up and down.
As the clouds became thinner, the farmers below could vaguely see its huge body.
They all knelt on the ground excitedly, worshiping the Dragon God who had brought a turn for the better in their lives.
A village chief who had a radio at home said, "I was wondering, the weather forecast clearly said there would be no rain for the next ten days, but how come there are suddenly dark clouds? It turns out the Dragon God has come to help them."
Li Moer also saw the farmers below. Regardless of the mud on the ground, they knelt down one by one to worship Long Yun. She was filled with emotion. It was really not easy for farmers. Their harvest basically depended on the weather. If the weather was good, they would harvest more food, and their families could have enough to eat.
If it hadn't rained like last year, the whole family would have starved. But now the Dragon God had brought them this heavy rain, enough for them to sow their seeds.
