C289 – Asking for Rain (VI)

Posted on October 17, 2018 by AzureOrchid92

The huge, long-awaited fog around the platform at the fire pit broke through the sky filled with sand. As it circled, there seemed to be nothing to block it.

At this point, the people on the top of the platform also saw the white mist that they had never seen before.

When the fog passed through the high platform, everyone on the platform felt a fresh and cool feeling deep in their hearts and lungs, as if it was in winter, but, in winter, there was no such fresh feeling!

“That … What is it?!” Mi Fu looked at the mist that circled passed them.

Yang Sui still had his hands on his knees, but has been looking up to see the changes in the sky. Almost every second, the expression on his face changed.

Despite hearing Mi Fu’s question, he did not answer because of his surprise, his present state seemed like wanting to cry or laugh. If it’s the usual, others might think he was a psychopath, but at this time, almost no one could take the ordinary mentality as they saw the changes at the moment.

Eyes intently staring at the sky, Yang Sui had a changeable expression. He seemed to want to say something, but could not find the specific words. Since he did not know how to say it, he could only shout to vent.

Feeling the sourness in his eyes, Yang Sui didn’t care what others think. He now only wanted to roar in the sky all his emotions, all his words, all in this roar.

It’s going to rain. Yang Sui had never been so excited that he was in tears and speechless because of the change in the sky.

Has the ancestors been moved? Or was this divine mercy?

Rain tribe border.

Lei and Tuo had gone inside the house, and only Shao Xuan stayed outside.

“Ah-Xuan, don’t eat the sand outside!” Seeing Shao Xuan not going in, Tuo loudly reminded.

But, after a while of waiting, it was Shao Xuan who uttered a sentence, “Come out and see!”

“There’s nothing to look at,” Lei muttered. But, since it was Shao Xuan who spoke, Lei and Tuo still have to give in to give this elder face.

They still had other ideas, but after walking out of the door, Lei and Tuo stayed.

When they came out earlier, the wind was all over the place. However, it was not a long time since they entered the house thst even a cup of water was not yet finished, then the weather outside was changing?!

Inside the other wooden house someone heard Shao Xuan’s voice. They were curious do they moved the window panel to see what was the matter outside. After he had moved the window panel, he squinted since he thought the sand would be blown in. After squinting for a long time, he did not feel the sand blown in. On the contrary, when he looked outside, where were the sand?!

“Ah–” someone exclaimed aloud.

Other people also came out to look at the changes outside.

The chaotic sandy weather changed, unknown when the yellow sand disappeared. The people stood there, as they also noticed the situation in the Rain tribe. Although they have some confused feelings, compared to just ten steps away from the distance to see the situation, it was much better.

“Look. What is that in the sky?” Qu Ce cried as he pointed to the Rain tribe.

Over the Rain tribe, a long white band like an ancient behemoth, rotated from below, with its tail on the ground and its head in the sky. From the ground up, the long white bands were widening.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the chaos of yellow sand was replaced by clouds that gradually accumulate. The head of the white “monster” seemed to be a cloud-manufacturing area. From there, the clouds spread around.

The tumbling clouds were like a mighty army of heavy armor, strongly spreading to the surroundings with a heavy sense of oppression as it moved farther.

“They have successfully called for rain.” Shao Xuan looked at the changes in the sky.

When Shao Xuan’s voice just fell, someone shouted, “Impossible!”

However, when one looked at the changes in the sky now, it really was raining. If the surrounding was the same chaotic yellow sand days, even if you killed them, they would not believe that there was a way to call for rain. But now, even if one wanted to refute the situation, any rebuttal was powerless.

Huang Ye and the other elders all had serious faces. They participated in this expedition team from when they were young. Then, they began to contact the Rain tribe and also experienced the tribe’s rain ritual, but, never once had they seen something like now, giving them a shock.

This rain, it really seemed that you will be able to ask for it?

Shao Xuan observed in his mind the Rain tribe totem inside the “eggshell”. It was still flashing, and those drop-like points were rolling faster.

The surrounding moisture was aggravating.

A drop of water like a grain of rice fell from the sky, although such a volume was not conspicuous. However, under the gloomy sky, the people caught this drop in their gaze.

It was different from ordinary raindrops, with a little white color seen under this gloomy sky, like there was a deep sea creature emitting the shining light.

Plop!

The raindrops hit the ground, making a light sound.

da-da-da-ta-

More and more sound appeared, becoming more and more dense.

When one looked up at the thick clouds in the sky, the white lights fell straight down, like a rambling meteor.

At first it was just a few raindrops, but, soon, the raindrops were like strings as they continuously fell down.

The ground that was previously covered with dust, was now soft, as it became muddy in the rain.

Shao Xuan lifted his finger and touched the water. After he licked it, he decisively pulled out a kettle, poured out the water inside, and used it to catch the rainwater. Because the gourd has a small opening, Shao Xuan also went to find a leaf, letting the rain wash it clean, then made it into a funnel-shaped to insert in the gourd mouth, then he began to collect water. In addition to the gourd, Shao Xuan also received a spare water bag made of animal hide. This area was too dry and rare to encounter a rain, so naturally, having more spare was good.

The Rain tribe’s water looked extraordinary. Perhaps these water could help them back.

Seeing Shao Xuan’s behavior, Lei and Tuo did not say much and just followed.

The rest of the young people in the team met each others’ eyes and looked at the elders who brought them out of their tribes. Seeing them nod, they also have pulled out their water gourds and began to collect water.

Meanwhile, in the rain tribe, it was now crazy.

Under the rain, people ran like crazy, trampling the mud on the ground, screaming and howling. Like Yang Sui, they did not know what to say, their brain seeming to lose all the reason, and now just wanted to roar.

The rain has come.

They really called for rain successfully!

“Jade-white silk rain, sand yellow muddy road.”

For how many years.

The few who passed away regretted their ends as they never saw the sight on the song.

And now, in the rain tribe, all the living people have witnessed the occurrence of this scene.

How can they not be excited? Why not be crazy?

However, He Chao’s mood was very different. While others felt cool, he felt cold, shivering and wishing to shrink himself into a ball.

No doubt, Yang Sui has turned over. Not only did he turn over, but Yang Sui could even go to the heights that no Shaman of the Rain tribe could reach in these years. Thinking of their behavior before, He Chao could only feel the chill deeper. The falling rain was like a heavy hammer, hitting him on the body, smashing his breath as he inhaled, but was choked by the rain.

On the top of the platform, Yang Sui felt the rain falling. He got up to go to the edge of the platform, looking at the platform and those crazy crowd. This time, no one was shouting “burn to death”, no one complained about Yang Sui’s fault, and no one cared whether Yang Sui really deceived everyone. They only believed in their eyes, believed in the result. The rain was undoubtedly the best proof, therefore, all the stains, whether real or fake, would be washed away in this rain.

He didn’t know who first saw Yang Sui at the top of the platform, didn’t know who first kneeled down. Triggered by the rapid chain reaction, large tracts of people started kneeling in the mud and water, facing toward the fire pit with pious worship. It was a scene never before seen for at least hundreds of years. Perhaps a certain leader has received such treatment, but the Shaman had not. Yang Sui became the first Shaman to receive such a high level of treatment over the years.

What was that? The chief said he wanted to change the Shaman?

We don’t agree! We don’t agree with his death! You wanted to change the Shaman? You’ve got to step over our bodies!

As He Chao thought, Yang Sui’s future would certainly go beyond those ancestors who could not reach this height.

Among the people kneeling under the high platform, including the older elders of the tribe, including the newly appointed chief, their behavior showed everything.

Looking at the situation below, Yang Sui who had an excited mood slowly calmed down.

They would not hesitate to throw him into the fire, but could also push him to the throne with utmost devotion.

Note: “Jade-white silk rain, sand yellow muddy road.”

Here’s when I thought that the previous chapters translated was correct. Anyway, this is the last one for today.
