The Sixth Son Is Rescued六郎逢救
In drought the fields are withered and dry;
thank heaven, sweet rain falls in streams.
Flowers, fruit, grass and trees are all refreshed;
now you know one rain is worth a thousand gold.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Relief arrives in a hard time. Receive the help that comes, and value it.

另本 Variant:四郊田畝皆枯竭,久旱俄然三日霖,花果草芽俱潤澤,始知一雨值千金。
The Sixth Son Is Rescued
Yang Yanzhao, the "Sixth Son" of the Yang family generals, was trapped in a valley without food after his father's death in battle. His brother, now a monk on Mount Wutai, led men down the mountain and broke the siege. The rescue was like rain after drought.
A third person may help reconcile a quarrel; the bond deepens.
Delays, then completion. Listen to a colleague's hint.
This lot invites care with money: help arrives from an old acquaintance; enough for what is urgent. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: a long illness can turn with the right care. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Some anxiety at home; reassure and steady one another.
Delayed but safe. Help is available if a journey goes wrong.
Look to the west or north; there is a fair chance of recovery.
This lot invites patience with disputes: the other side has the stronger hand. Settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
