Chapter 354 A Rain
Alabasta, Eluma.
In a private house, Lonoli, a young man in his 30s, was lying weakly on the bed, his eyes empty and his breathing low.
The sallow complexion and chapped lips showed that he had been dehydrated for a long time. In fact, he had been without water for almost three days.
Even saliva could not be secreted from his mouth, and dry swallowing would bring even greater pain. He knew that he could no longer hold on, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness and confusion.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness completely, he suddenly felt a very sweet clear water flowing into his mouth. His survival instinct made him swallow big swallows subconsciously, and his vision gradually became clearer. When he regained consciousness, he hurriedly pushed it away. With the kettle beside his mouth, he sat up anxiously.
"Lose! You..."
The five-year-old daughter, with a slightly yellow face, shook the kettle, raised her head and opened her mouth, poured the last few drops of water into her mouth, and then smiled stupidly at him.
“Hey hey, no more…”
Luonoli's eyes turned red instantly, but he couldn't shed tears. He held his daughter tightly in his arms and said hoarsely: "Loss, it's dad's fault, it's my fault...Dad lost all the family's money. I didn’t bring back a drop of water... and I still want to drink the water you got from a kind traveler with your pocket money..."
“Dad, don’t die…”
“…Well, dad won’t die, and neither will Rose. Dad will go out to look for water, and he must, must find water!” Lonoli couldn’t cry, but felt a heartbreaking pain in his heart.
"You go to sleep first. After a nap, dad will come back with water." He put Rose, who was a little weak due to lack of water, into bed, and he staggered out and walked to the yard.
The cruel sun scorched the sandy ground, and the air was distorted by the heat. He was already short of water, and every step he took in this environment was very difficult.
Out of the yard, what comes into view is the cracked street. Not far away, you can still see familiar faces lying on their backs on the ground, the rise and fall of their chests has been minimal, and they are moaning in confusion.
Looking for water? Where can I find water?
His eyes were confused and desperate.
The whole Eluma is about to dry up!
Why...why is this happening? Why doesn't it rain for more than three months? Why did the canal break at this time? Why does the price of water in rainy areas rise so expensive...
“Oh my God, Your Majesty, it’s good for everyone, please save us!” He knelt down dejectedly.
——
As if I heard his call, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky!
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky expectantly. An acquaintance lying on the ground not far away seemed to have opened his eyes.
Clouds, clouds are coming...
It’s cloudy…
Snapped-
A drop of water hit him **** the face.
“Is it, really, raining?”
"It's raining?!"
There was a response from a distance.
In an instant, this seemingly dry and dead city came to life. Countless people rushed out of their homes, raising their heads and opening their mouths.
“Is it really raining?!”
“Woo woo woo…”
“He’s saved! Eluma’s saved!”
Lonoli couldn't cry out. He heard his daughter running out, cheering and jumping around him, then hugged his neck, and still kept kneeling on the ground, with her mouth wide open, feeling the heavy rain hitting him. There were tears mixed in his mouth.
“I’m saved…I’m saved…”
…
"It's raining!"
“It’s really raining! Hahaha…”
Even in rainy areas that are not short of water, people will cheer for the rain. Only those water sellers who are secretly controlled by Crocodile will look ugly.
Amid the celebrations, a large group of naval soldiers suddenly rushed out, sealed off the casino, and arrested the water sellers, causing a burst of chaos and causing people to hide back home.
Nike Nami, who had already hid in the bookstore, was watching everything on the street from the window, looking surprised. Why is it raining? She knows best. After using that amount of dancing powder, it is normal for it not to rain for the next six months!
"Could it be him... Holo..." Her face became a little unnatural, and her heart tightened with worry.
…
Albana, Royal Palace, King Kobra was also surprised by the rain.
Three days ago, he received a call from the World Government, informing him of Crocodile's conspiracy in Alabasta and telling him not to make any public announcements. Someone from the Navy would handle it.He was angry and blamed himself.
The anger is directed at Crocodile, and he blames himself because he is unaware of this kind of thing. The people of the kingdom may have to work hard in the drought for a long time. This is completely his dereliction of duty as a king!
But today...it rained.
"Father!" Princess Weiwei, who was still a little girl and had just turned 13, ran over with joy on her face: "This time it rained not only in Albana, but everywhere in the center of the kingdom, except for the cities along the coast. It’s raining!”
She doesn’t know the truth about the drought yet.
Kobra also didn’t know that if Crocodile was not reported, his 14-year-old daughter would go undercover in the Baroque Studio in a year to find a way to save the country.
He touched Weiwei’s head and said with a smile: “That’s really great, Weiwei!”
…
In the desert.
Crocodile, who ate the Shasha fruit and hated rain the most, raised his head and let the pouring rain hit his face, his eyes a little gloomy.
He gave up.
He stopped running.
Continuing to run is nothing more than humiliating yourself.
“Tch, monster.” He snorted coldly, turned around and walked in the direction of Ji Xing and Qing Pheasant.
Over there, Qingzhi stretched out his palm, feeling the power of the raindrops, and looked at Ji Xing, who was facing him with a restrained expression, and said: "So it's because of this incident that you appeared in front of me and attacked me? ? Well, do you need more ice? The amount of rain brought by that ice is not enough, right?"
"Uh..." Ji Xing smiled: "As a naval admiral, don't you learn navigation knowledge? It doesn't rain in Alabasta, which doesn't mean there are no rain clouds. It's just that because of the climate, it's difficult for the rain clouds to turn into rain. Your ice and me The domineering force is just an inducement to induce the rain that is difficult to fall to fall.
Otherwise, ordinary small islands are fine, but if we want to bring a heavy rain to a superpower like Alabasta, we will be exhausted to death. "
"Is that so?" Qingzhi scratched his wet hair: "It seems... Teacher Zefa said it in class? It doesn't seem like he did... Sigh."
He let out a long sigh and returned to his lazy look: "Is it worth it to expose his contact with Nico Robin, the son of the devil, and bring rain to Alabasta?"
“What do you think?” Ji Xing sheathed his sword.
Qingzhi nodded: "It's not surprising that you have such amazing domineering aura."
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he just sighed: "That's it. I will truthfully report everything that happened today to Marshal Warring States. Well, judging from Marshal Warring States' justice, probably I will appreciate your actions very much, but of course I will be a little defensive.
. "
He shook his head, took Crocodile with him and lit a cigar, and walked towards the coast. When passing by Ji Xing, he turned around and said: "Unparalleled freedom, firmly believe that what you do is right, and Regardless of the side effects it would bring, many such people eventually became famous pirates.
You seem to be a little different from them, and I can’t tell where the difference is... Well, anyway, I still hope that there won’t be such a day, and we won’t become real enemies. "
Ji Xing looked at him and smiled: "When you doubt whether what you are doing is right, don't doubt it. It is wrong."
Qing Pheasant stopped and turned his back to Ji Xing. Ji Xing just said: "Goodbye, General Qing Pheasant."
“Ah…goodbye.”
Qingzhi just waved his hand back and continued to move forward. Crocodile, who was following him, looked back at Ji Xing, his eyes unclear.
That newspaper... doesn't seem to have revealed anything about Pluto? Was it kept secret, or was it that there was no content about Pluto in the information he and Nico Robin sent to the World Government? Huh, interesting.
“Look what I do? Let’s reflect on the reform in prison, Crocodile.”
With one sentence, Crocodile became so angry that his face became ferocious. Ji Xing turned around and walked towards this country that was celebrating because of a rain!
I would like to recommend another book. This one is worth reading for Siyang. I highly recommend it!
Book title: "My Shura Field is Too Much"
Chu Liansheng, who has been successful for many years, returned to his high school alma mater to donate scholarships.
But he fell asleep on his stomach on the seat where he had sat for three years.
When I woke up again, what I saw was the serious face of the class teacher, the laughter of the classmates, and her at the same table.
After understanding the situation of his time travel and rebirth, Chu Liansheng made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Talk more about love.
