In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 101 The Plants Have Revived

"It's raining! Run! If we get soaked, scales will grow on our bodies, and we'll die!"

Everyone hurriedly returned home to avoid the rain.

Someone knelt on the ground and cried out, "Waaah, when will this suffering end! My parents, wife, and children all died from the poisonous rain. What's the point of me living like a rat? Fine, I'll just die like this!"

He resigned himself to being soaked in the rain.

The torrential rain poured down, and the people in the town looked ashen-faced. They stood in their houses with their doors wide open, numbly watching the floodwaters in their yards. The rain was torrential, heavier than ever before.

"It's raining!"

Li Xiuhe was startled by the sound of the rapid rain.

Grandma Li listened to the sound of the rain and sighed bitterly, "How many more lives will this rain take away?"

Li Xiuhe looked at the torrential rain outside with worry.

She bit her dry, cracked lips.

God is truly blind.

They don't give ordinary people any way to survive.

After three years of drought, the rain finally ended the drought, which was thought to be a blessing from heaven. However, it turned out that heaven was playing an even crueler trick on the people.

Her eyes were red.

Suddenly, she thought of the goddess who had bestowed food upon her.

She said she wanted to save the people!

A great hope rose in her heart.

A great deal of hope was mixed with a hint of confusion.

She clasped her hands together and said, "Goddess, please have pity on the suffering people."

She prayed silently, "Goddess, please save us from this suffering! Please stop the rain, or the people in the town will not survive."

Everyone in the town knows that the rainwater after a drought is highly toxic; not only can people not drink it, but plants will also die if they do.

The people of Xiahe Town have not eaten normal food for several years.

Apart from Yunmi Mountain, not a single plant has grown in any other part of Xiaohe Town.

Despite the flowing river in the town, the entire town is actually barren after being washed away by toxic rain.

The people are living a life worse than death.

The days were even harder to endure than during the drought.

During droughts, at least people can eat the loess soil on the mountains. But after a drought, the rainwater becomes toxic and pollutes the land, and people can't even eat the soil anymore.

Those who were better off had some stored soil, but most people didn't even have soil to eat, and they resorted to cannibalism.

People who die of natural causes are often disposed of privately by their relatives.

Li Xiuhe was glad that she had been quite diligent before, piling up a lot of clods of dirt at home.

"Splash, splash, splash!" The sound of rain pounded in her ears, and her heart sank to ashes.

We can only place our hopes on that goddess.

I just don't know when she will show up.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, she heard a different kind of noise.

"what is that?"

A patch of green emerged from beneath the soil, instantly transforming into something resembling a blade of grass.

Meanwhile, the same scene was observed in other places as well.

"boom!"

A sudden rush of shock went through her mind, and she was horrified.

"Damn it!" she exclaimed.

No wonder the raindrops sounded different when they hit the grass blades than when they hit the ground.

She rubbed her eyes and asked urgently, "It's grass! How could this be? This rainstorm is poisonous, how could it grow grass?"

Her heart was filled with confusion, longing, and joy—a complex mix of emotions. Unconsciously, tears streamed down her face, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart, gradually growing larger. "Xiuhe? What are you saying?"

Hearing her grandmother's words, she exclaimed excitedly, "Grandma! It's grass! Green grass has grown on the bare ground outside!"

She excitedly voiced her guess: "Could it be that the rain isn't poisonous anymore?"

"Grass?" Grandma Li exclaimed in shock, "Xiuhe, are you seeing things?"

"No! Grandma, it really is grass! Grass has grown outside!" Li Xiuhe laughed out loud, her voice choked with emotion, her smile mixed with tears, both surprised and delighted.

Grandma Li still didn't believe it: "Xiuhe, you must have seen wrong. Even if the rainwater is no longer poisonous and grass will grow, it's impossible for grass to suddenly grow right under your nose. That's simply impossible!"

Yes!

It takes time for a weed to sprout from the ground.

"Ugh!"

Grandma Li looked at her granddaughter with pity, feeling that something was wrong with her mind. Tears streamed down her face as she thought to herself, "Poor child."

Li Xiuhe muttered to herself, "It's the Goddess of the Goddess, it must be her who's starting to save us!"

She rushed out the door and headed straight for the blade of grass in the rain.

Grandma Li's eyes widened, and she screamed shrilly, "Xiuhe! What are you doing? Come back quickly! You'll die if you get soaked in the rain!"

She struggled to get out of bed, but ended up falling off with a thud.

"Xiuhe!" she cried out.

"Grandma, you're not mistaken, it really is green grass! The goddess has started casting her spell to save us! We're saved! We're saved!"

Li Xiuhe quickly plucked the green grass, and a fragrant aroma wafted into her nose, refreshing and delightful.

Seeing her grandmother fall off the bed, she quickly ran into the room and lifted her back onto the bed.

She covered her grandmother with the blanket and asked, "Grandma, how did you fall off the bed? Are you hurt?"

"Xiuhe, are you alright? How could you be so reckless? What if something happened to you?"

Grandma Li's eyelids trembled. She touched her granddaughter's wet body and suddenly burst into tears: "Wet! Wet! What are we going to do? You'll be covered in scales and turn into a pool of blood, my granddaughter!"

She cried heartbreakingly.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Look, it's really green grass. The rainwater isn't poisonous anymore. It must be the Goddess who saw our suffering and kindly sent down non-poisonous rainwater."

"Oh right, I'll take all the earthenware pots out to collect water now."

In the past, when people got wet in the rain, scales would immediately grow on their bodies, and then turn into blood overnight. However, Li Xiuhe's body remained smooth for a long time, without any sign of scales growing. Grandma Li was shocked.

"How is this going?"

"Could it be that Xiuhe, you really saw a deity?"

She pressed for an answer.

Li Xiuhe said happily, "Grandma, there's no need to delay! I'll go to the street right now and knock on every door to tell them the good news."

She looked excited.

"Then hurry up and go. The goddess is casting her spell to bring rain, and we don't know when it will stop. Tell everyone to take out their things to collect water, and then we'll have water to drink."

Grandma Li believed her granddaughter's words.

Li Xiuhe nodded: "I'll go right away."

She ran into the street and saw several people lying flat on the ground, quietly waiting for death.

"The rainwater isn't poisonous anymore, everyone come out and collect some water!"

"Whose child is this? Are they trying to harm us? Who told her that rainwater isn't poisonous?"

"Exactly, their intentions are too malicious."

Someone sighed and said, "She seems to be a fool. Don't bother with her. After today, she'll just turn into a pool of blood. What's the point of arguing with a dead person?"

Some people persisted: "If she wants to die, don't drag us down with her! Although living is painful, none of us want to die!"

When Li Xiuhe came to her senses, she realized that no one was willing to believe her.

She hurriedly explained, "A fairy goddess appeared on Yunmi Mountain. She solved our problem of poisonous rainwater. A green grass has grown in our house, which proves that the rainwater is drinkable now. Look, I've been soaking in the rain for so long and haven't grown any scales. I certainly won't turn into blood tonight."

"You have to believe me!"
