Chapter 347: Rumors

Early the next morning, Xu Xiang was woken up by the commotion outside. She propped her body up from the bed, sat there in a daze for a while, and then got out of bed. She walked to the bedroom window, opened the curtains, and looked out.

The moment she looked out, she was stunned by the scenery outside. When she walked home last night, although the soil was not as bad as other places, she could only see some sparse weeds on the road side. But now, in addition to the green weeds covering the road, there are many new leaves growing on the dead trees around the residential area.

In addition to the huge changes in the surrounding environment, what surprised her even more was the changes in the villagers. These villagers were originally refugees who came two days ago. When they first arrived, their eyes were full of despair. But today, all Xu Xiang saw was the hope in those eyes.

She looked at those villagers and thought: ’Is all of this because of artificial rainfall last night? Can rain really bring hope to these people?’

Just as she was thinking about the change that was brought by the rain last night, there was a knock on the door. Coming out from her contemplation, Xu Xiang went into her space, took a quick shower, and left her space. Back in the bedroom, she went out from her bedroom to open the door.

Opening the door, she saw A Lu Ge standing outside. He smiled at her and said, "Good morning, Xu Xiang."

Xu Xiang looked up at the still dark sky and said, "Good morning, A Lu Ge. What brought you here so early in the morning?"

A Lu Ge scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Sorry to bother you so early in the morning. There is an emergency, and my father invites you to the conference hall."

Looking at his rare serious expression, Xu Xiang asked, "Emergency? What happened?"

A Lu Ge looked around, then said in a low voice: "Because of the changes caused by the sudden rain last night, many visitors came today."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are those people?"

A Lu Ge thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don’t know the details. My father and fourth elder brother didn’t let me attend the meeting, and they just asked me to call you over."

After being silent for a while, Xu Xiang walked out of the house, locked the door, and said, "Let’s go and have a look."

When they were walking on the street, Xu Xiang saw many villagers talking in small groups with smiles on their faces. She was curious and sharpened her hearing. As she walked past an old man, she heard his words.

"This old man is not telling lies! Last night, many people saw the Dragon God. This rain must be the blessing of the Dragon God!" The old man said to his neighbors.

Xu Xiang glanced at the old man, and saw his eyes filled with reverence and awe for the Dragon God.

A young man in his twenties stood in front of the old man, looked at the old man suspiciously, and said, "Grandpa, are you sure you saw it right? Why didn’t I hear anything last night?"

Hearing his question, the old man smacked that young man’s head and said, "Stinky boy! How dare you say those insolent words? If Dragon God gets angry because of your words, watch how I beat you! Besides, who doesn’t know that you sleep like a log? I don’t know how you could sleep when the thunder was so loud last night."

The young man rubbed his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "Grandpa, if the Dragon God is real, then why did the Dragon God only appear now after we experiencing a long drought for more than seven years? If the Dragon God had come earlier, my family would still be alive."

Facing the young man’s questioning, the old man fell into deep thought and said in a low voice: "Perhaps... The ruler who can really save us has finally appeared."

Seeing the old man’s serious face, the young man laughed and said, "Grandpa, are you serious? Do you really believe that the Dragon God appeared last night because of that reason?"

The old man slapped the young man again, and said, "Watch what you say! If this is really the case, what you just said not only offended the Dragon God, but also offended the future ruler. Be careful with what you say from now on, or you won’t even know how you die."

Hearing the old man’s words, the young man shook his head and said with a smile: "If someone can really become that ruler who saves us, even if I die today because of my words, I am willing!"

While the young man just laughed it off, Xu Xiang was seriously thinking about what the old man said.

Walking beside her, A Lu Ge found out that her walking speed was getting slower and slower. He looked at her, saw her lost in thought, and asked, "Xu Xiang, what are you thinking?"

Xu Xiang came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "The air is very fresh today. Let’s walk slowly."

After she finished speaking, A Lu Ge looked at her in confusion. He thought that Xu Xiang knew that his father and fourth elder brother were waiting for them. But since Xu Xiang said so, he didn’t ask anything, nodded and slowed down his walking speed.

Besides the old man and the young man, there were many villagers standing outside their houses or on the side of the road, talking about what happened last night. When passing by a group of women, Xu Xiang slowed down and focused her hearing on them.

"Are these rumors true?" Asked one of the women.
