A shower of blessings from heaven

Zhao Dongchuan stopped thinking about all these random things. His arrival here was purely accidental, and he wasn't some kind of saint who had to interfere with other people's lives.

It was just that when he watched TV dramas and read the original novels before, as an audience member and reader, he felt some regret. If he could change things, he'd change them a little, just to reduce some of the 'hurdles' in people's destinies.

He also wondered if his arrival here was some kind of 'prank' by a higher-dimensional being, and he was just lucky enough to be randomly chosen by a 'big shot' to star in a certain movie.

Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle along the country road, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"Pfft!!! Whatever!!!"

Zhao Dongchuan muttered in a low voice.

"I will definitely live a wonderful life and not disappoint you, old man!!!" Zhao Dongchuan looked up at the clear sky and said.

"Rumble" a dull sound came from the sky!

Immediately afterward, a patch of dark clouds suddenly surged up from the horizon. Faint rumbling thunder could be heard beneath the clouds.

Crows cawed chaotically, flying over the hot village, and the air was filled with turbulence and unease.

"Holy crap!!! No way!"

Zhao Dongchuan quickly shut up!

"Heaven, I don't mean the slightest disrespect. I will perform well!"

It was just past three in the afternoon, and lightning, like a silver dragon bursting through the air, twisted and roared in the sky, illuminating the surrounding scenery.

"Boom!"

The sky let out its first clap of thunder.

"I need to hurry; I don't want to get caught in the rain!"

Zhao Dongchuan snapped out of his thoughts, sped up, and hurried through the gullies.

"Boom!"

Another clap of thunder rang out.

Immediately afterward, a strong wind swept in, carrying sand, dust, broken branches, and wild grass, instantly churning the world into chaos.

Zhao Dongchuan had no mind to appreciate the vast scenery at this moment; he just pedaled his bicycle like a whirlwind, rapidly heading towards Shuangshui Village.

Before long, rain began to fall from the sky, slowly increasing in intensity until large drops started to fall.

Zhao Dongchuan ultimately couldn't escape this storm. Just after passing Guanzi Village, a torrential downpour began.

Zhao Dongchuan had no choice but to take out a large umbrella from his space and open it for himself.

He wasn't afraid of rain; as long as he had his space and enough supplies, he could live comfortably in any environment.

With such heavy rain, holding an umbrella and riding a bicycle wasn't very convenient, so Zhao Dongchuan slowly pushed his bike. Fortunately, all the things he bought were in his space, so he wasn't afraid of them getting wet.

Zhao Dongchuan walked in the drizzling rain, and soon his shoes were covered in mud. After a while, he heard a faint splashing sound from behind him.

He looked back and saw two small figures in the distance, running wildly in the rain.

As they got closer, he could see clearly that it was Sun Lanxiang and Jin Xiu.

Before they got too close, and with the heavy rain blurring visibility, Zhao Dongchuan took out another umbrella from his space.

He stopped walking forward and waited for them.

"Lanxiang, come quickly, I have another umbrella here," Zhao Dongchuan called out.

Sun Lanxiang heard Brother Zhao's voice, looked down, and said to Jin Xiu, "It's Brother Zhao, quick, let's go over!"

They quickened their pace and ran over.

Zhao Dongchuan quickly handed them an umbrella.

"Take it, be careful not to catch a cold!"

"Thank you, Brother!" Lanxiang and Jin Xiu were drenched at this point and no longer stood on ceremony. They immediately opened the umbrella. The umbrellas Zhao Dongchuan prepared were all large, enough for both of them.

Seeing their soaked clothes clinging to their bodies, revealing their graceful curves, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but take a couple more glances.

"Holy crap, Amitabha, 'Im, Byō, Tō, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen'!" Zhao Dongchuan immediately realized something was wrong and turned his head, silently reciting in his heart.

Normally, wearing loose clothes, he didn't notice, but now he realized these two young girls had already blossomed.

The tender lotus had just revealed its sharp tip, and dragonflies were already perching on it!

Especially Jin Xiu, who was a bit shorter than Lanxiang, but her development was really good, just as described in the original novel; both of them were natural beauties!

"Brother Zhao, it's so lucky to meet you here. Thank you for the umbrella!"

Lanxiang and Jin Xiu, arm in arm, huddled under the umbrella and thanked Zhao Dongchuan.

"Haha, it is quite a coincidence. Let's go quickly; staying out in this cold will easily give you a cold!"

With that, Zhao Dongchuan quickened his pace, and Lanxiang and Jin Xiu also jogged towards Shuangshui Village.

Before long, they entered the village entrance. Families everywhere were beaming with joy, huddled under eaves, happily saying things like "Heaven has eyes!" and "The crops are saved!"

Pots, bowls, and even large water vats in every household were put to use, placed in the courtyard to collect rainwater as a reserve. No one could guarantee when it would rain next, so they stored as much as they could.

Zhao Dongchuan waved goodbye to Lanxiang and Jin Xiu and returned to his own cave dwelling.

He put away the umbrella and placed it under the eaves to dry.

He then went inside and boiled a pot of hot water. Zhao Dongchuan took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, finally feeling much refreshed. Then he cooked himself a pot of system-produced rice, made a bowl of braised pork, and a tomato and egg soup.

Eating the fragrant rice, savoring the melt-in-your-mouth braised pork, occasionally sipping some soup, and listening to the patter of rain outside the window.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

A sense of happiness arose spontaneously!

Perhaps this was the happiness found in ordinary days!

Zhao Dongchuan had never been an ambitious person. Whether in his original world or here, having food, drink, and a place to live that could shelter him from wind and rain was basically enough for him.

After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan resumed his studies, doing practice problems, reading books, writing, and practicing "Wuqinxi."

Since he still had to tutor Sun Shaoping in the evening, Zhao Dongchuan saved the "Qi Refining Introduction" for before bedtime.

In the evening, Sun Shaoping came over for tutoring as usual, holding an umbrella. Zhao Dongchuan brought out a small bowl of braised pork.

"Shaoping, come try my cooking. It's a new dish I learned, braised pork!"

"Brother Dong, I've already eaten, no need!" Sun Shaoping swallowed, saying.

"Don't be polite, these are my leftovers. It's so hot; if you don't eat them, they'll spoil tomorrow!"

Zhao Dongchuan directly handed Sun Shaoping a pair of chopsticks and urged him to eat.

"Studying is hard work; you can't go without nutrition!" Zhao Dongchuan patted Sun Shaoping's shoulder.

Shaoping no longer refused and began to eat.

The small plate of meat was eaten clean in no time.

"Alright, you didn't eat for free. Help me wash the dishes clean."

Sun Shaoping immediately started washing all the dishes in the kitchen and even wiped down the stove.

Afterward, Zhao Dongchuan began tutoring, explaining the knowledge points and exercises that Sun Shaoping didn't understand.

Due to the establishment of the drought relief team and this timely rain, most of the crops on the mountain had regained their former vitality. However, the harvest would definitely be worse than in previous years, and the grains would not be as plump.
