Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: It Can’t Be Heavenly Punishment

"Of course, that’s possible,"

his sister nodded immediately, and the two went to knock on the door of the household they were most familiar with.

"Who is it?"

After a while, someone from the household came out to open the gate.

When the gate was opened, and the person inside saw Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo standing there without even a wooden plank over their heads, they were nearly scared to death.

"Ah, it’s you. What brings you to my house?"

After regaining his senses, he looked at the siblings and asked.

"Uncle, these are the experts I’ve invited from Wuzhu Teahouse. They have come to help us solve the problem of the hailstorm, and, well, they have some questions for you people living in the southern part of the city. Could we talk to you?"

His sister asked the man.

"Wuzhu Teahouse? That Wuzhu Teahouse?"

Upon hearing his sister’s words, the man’s eyes lit up, and his look towards Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo became eager.

The people from Wuzhu Teahouse had come; there might be hope for them in the county.

"Please, come in and have a seat,"

he hurriedly ushered the four inside and asked his wife to brew them tea.

...

Not long after, the man began talking with Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo.

However, what he revealed differed from what they had heard from the man at the previous household.

"How could this possibly be divine punishment? It absolutely couldn’t."

The man shook his head, thinking that what Lin Caisang had said was as fantastical as a fairy tale.

"How do you know it’s impossible?"

His sister frowned deeply, also feeling uncomfortable.

Were the words her father said yesterday all lies, duping not only her and her brother but also the people they had invited from Wuzhu Teahouse?

How could her father do something like this?

"How could I not know?"

The man smiled at his sister and continued.

"Our county does experience divine punishment, but it doesn’t happen like this. Here, divine punishment only targets those who have done wrong. Depending on the severity of their wrongdoings, the scale of the divine punishment varies,"

he explained.

"Therefore, this hail cannot be divine punishment. Even if there are a few in our county who secretly do some bad things, it wouldn’t cause the entire county to suffer.

Esteemed guests, wouldn’t you agree?"

He looked at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo, seeking their opinion.

Divine punishment, indeed. How could this possibly be divine punishment? It absolutely couldn’t be.

"Where did you hear about this being divine punishment? That’s not right. With your age, you shouldn’t even be aware of the divine punishment in our county. How did you know?"

"This..."

His sister glanced at her brother, both of their eyes filled with embarrassment.

Truly, their father knew how to set a trap, ensnaring his own children, all while shamelessly talking about divine punishment!

"We also heard it from others’ discussions,"

Lin Caisang spoke, glossing over the matter involving the sibling’s parents.

"Oh, you heard it from others?"

The man didn’t suspect anything, naturally taking Lin Caisang’s word for it.

"Actually, we’ve been puzzled too. Everything was fine, so why did it start hailing? It’s not like our county has never experienced hail before, but it’s always been light, just for an hour or so, and never as large as this."

He mused, murmuring to himself.
