When the autumn water arrives, hundreds of rivers fill the river. The Jingliu River is so big that there are no cattle or horses between the two Zhuzhu cliffs.
The sky was always dark, as if weeping, and it looked like it was another day with no hope of clearing up.
The escort team collapsed first!
There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. Whether it is the bearded chief escort or the other escorts responsible for guarding the escort, their eyes are red, like a furious buffalo.
The travelers in the ferry inn all instinctively stayed away, not wanting to get into trouble with this group of people at this time.
Their trip was completely overdue, so they could only hope that the nobles in the capital would be merciful in light of the heavy rain and allow them to pay less.
The bearded escort looked at the roaring waves in front of him and the bad weather that was always gloomy and showed no signs of clearing up. Suddenly, there was a strange color in his eyes.
[God bless, there may be a huge flood! ]
Perhaps because of a change of thought, the bearded escort "suddenly became enlightened" and changed his attitude towards the continuous rain in front of him 180 degrees.
The other escorts understood this and had different expressions on their faces.
The older ones, the more sophisticated ones, still just prayed silently.
For example, "Little Gaoliang", a trainee escort who was relatively young and didn't have much scheming, couldn't help but read out the words "Pray for Rain".
As soon as these words came out, Yu Youquan, Zheng Xuancheng, and Ma Yiseng, whose perceptions were relatively alarming, couldn't help but look slightly sideways and looked at Xiao Gaoliang.
In fact, not only the three of them, but also all the bodyguards looked at Xiao Gaoliang speechlessly.
Is this child short-sighted?
This is not the right thing to say!
Xiao Gaoliang also realized that he had made a mistake, and couldn't help but blush and feel ashamed.
at the same time.
Everyone like Governor Pang and his group were in an extremely bad mood.
Governor Pang himself, his staff Lu Heng, his concubine Hua Niangzi, and even the servants and stewards who took care of their daily life all looked sad.
After being trapped for a long time, they ran out of the delicacies they had brought with them. The poor food at Hongfengdu made him want to vomit, and his mouth turned pale, and they all began to slack off in work.
Especially the continuous rain made their clothes, shoes, socks, and bedding all unbearably damp.
Especially when it rained and cold in autumn, everyone in the team became impatient.
Either frowning, praying for a clear sky, or cursing the Rain Master for being so shameless. I will definitely scold him severely when I encounter the Rain Master Temple in the future.
The worst thing is that the bad mood caused by the continuous rain, coupled with the decline in the quality of life, the governor's temper is getting worse and worse.
Even Lady Hua Niang, the concubine whom the Lord recently took in, has no way to deal with the bad-tempered Lord.
Governor Pang no longer even had the leisure to write poetry!
As for his staff Lu Heng, he adjusted his mentality at this time and did not dare to recite poems, play the flute, or drink excessively for fear of upsetting the governor.
As for the boat boss and his family, they were even more worried.
Especially for an experienced boat owner, every rise in the water level makes him frightened.
The rising water level has forced him to change the ferry to several higher anchoring locations...
The process was very dangerous, but the ferry was the family's most valuable asset.
Boats are more valuable than people!
The wife of the boat boss, who was suffering from a cough, even burned incense and prayed to God every day, hoping that the gods would bless the sky and clear up the weather soon.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the practitioner Yu Youquan began to hate this long rainy day.
Looking around, black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and a hole in the sky seems to have been gnawed by a dog.
The rain that drips down from time to time between the sky and the earth is like a bunch of projectiles, hitting the hearts of the passengers stranded at the small ferry.
For Yu Youquan, this is not even the case.
When you open your eyes, the world is full of rain; when you close your eyes, the whole world is wet and dense; when you listen, your mind is filled with the sound of the roaring waves of the Tai River.
What's more important is that recently, in order to understand the meaning of the mortal world, Yu Youquan has continued to pay attention to everything about the people in Hongfengdu, but he has inevitably been contaminated by their various joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
The emotions between people are not the same. This is something Yu Youquan understood early on, but he felt it even more deeply after he realized it carefully.
And this made him understand more and more how powerful the linen monk was!
Among all the people in Fenglindu, apart from Master, only this monk in sackcloth has the strongest heart, and even the rolling world of mortals can hardly infect him.
Yu Youquan felt that he could not understand this monk in sackcloth anymore!
Doing homework every day shows that you have firm faith;
Every day he eats nothing but enjoys it with sweetness, just like Yan Hui, who eats and drinks in a back alley with a basketful of food and a ladle of drink. He cannot bear the worries but does not change his joy even after returning home... This shows that he has high moral character and great perseverance;
Now even the boundless wind, rain, and rolling dust can't invade his heart. This is really... there is nothing in the first place, so where can the dust be caused?
In short, he is really a monk with a very high level!
but.
After reading so much, Yu Youquan didn't realize much, let alone collect the worldly energy he needed.
I always feel like something is missing!
Yu Youquan did not give up, observed more carefully, and understood more patiently, just like an exam in his previous life.
When you run out of ideas, re-examine the topic and then think about it again.
Could it be...not enough participation?
Yu Youquan was thoughtful and couldn't help but think of various legendary cases about the practitioners' experience in the world of mortals.
For many practitioners, in order to refine their hearts in the mortal world, they even deliberately suppress their cultivation and completely integrate into the mortal world.
In Yu Youquan's view, this is still a false proposition.
Suppressing your cultivation does not mean you have no cultivation. You always have the confidence, and your mentality will inevitably be a bit... otherworldly!
but.
This is still a good idea!
When there is no other way, the last resort is the best option.
Yu Youquan's spiritual consciousness is astonishingly powerful, and he can see far more widely than ordinary people.
The water in the big river in front of them was extremely turbid, carrying a lot of silt. The water level had risen several feet, and it was still rising. Fenglindu was about to be flooded.
And most importantly, Yu Youquan saw a large number of trees, grain, furniture, livestock, and even some... human corpses in the rolling river!
Obviously, disasters such as flash floods have broken out in the upper reaches or other river systems.
This made Yu Youquan feel even heavier!
After seeing that the water level continued to rise, Yu Youquan immediately decided to take action and really get involved.
"Master, the water level continues to rise. The ferry will be submerged tonight at the latest. We need to prepare early!"
Zheng Xuancheng nodded.
If Yu Youquan can sense it, he can naturally sense it too.
It is true that they are practitioners, but even at his level, they still look very small in front of the real power of heaven.
However, he didn't make any decisions. In his opinion, everything in front of him was just a trial for his young apprentice.
Zheng Xuancheng didn't say much and directly handed him a token.
Yu Youquan held the token and found the governor Pang Bi. As soon as he saw the token, he immediately became energetic and went to pay homage with his chubby figure in his arms.
For ordinary people, when facing any practitioner, they will not go wrong by bowing their heads and shouting "immortal chief" or "immortal master".
Even if he is the governor!
Yu Youquan was not polite. After being invited to sit down, he directly told Governor Pang Bipang that the peak of the flood would arrive soon and asked him to immediately find a way to notify Fenglindu and some people in surrounding villages and towns to move to higher ground.
In order to be more efficient, Yu Youquan drew a cake on the spot. Once the job was done well, he would be rewarded heavily. It would not be impossible to say a good word or two for him in front of his superior in the future.
Pang Bi's spirit was shaken, and he immediately patted his chest and promised to complete the task.
It has a mouth at the top and broken legs at the bottom.
Governor Pang was respectful and polite in front of Yu Youquan, and in the blink of an eye he was completely arrogant in front of the servants and stewards, showing full official authority.
Yu Youquan asked Governor Pang to organize the transfer of villagers from the ferry and nearby villages, but Governor Pang directly stepped up the task and told his subordinates that the task must be completed before dark.
However, unlike Yu Youquan who talks empty talk, Governor Pang uses carrots and sticks.
Obviously he also knew what kind of character his people were, so he directly promised a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
The several stewards were respectful and happy, and in a blink of an eye their faces turned serious. They followed the example of Governor Pang, put on airs and gave orders almost like scolding.
Arrangements must be made to complete the relocation of Fenglindu and nearby villages and towns before the evening meal (4 p.m.).
certainly.
They also gave out a reward of about ten taels of silver. If the errand was done well, there would be a big reward.
After receiving the death order, those servants of Governor Pang braved the endless wind and rain and began to notify and inform surrounding villages and towns of the impending flood peak.
Let alone the distant places, let’s just talk about the villages and towns that Yu Youquan can sense.
Governor Pang's servants had a very tough attitude and tactics. They immediately found Li Zheng, the village chief, and the respected elders of the clan and assigned them task targets.
The governor is ordered to complete the move before noon...
Naturally, the reward was gone, and he even asked for it in return.
Sir, I braved the heavy wind and rain to come here to notify you of the transfer. It is so hard, but it is also a life-saving grace, right?
Are you embarrassed not to give the official some hard work?
Perhaps because of Shangguan's attention, the transfer to higher terrain went very smoothly.
The leaders of Guizhou may have some complaints in their hearts, but when they think of the horror of floods, they still drag their families with them to compete with heavy rain and floods for time!
In this process, the elderly, women, children and children are usually arranged first, while the strong men will basically try their best to make as many trips as possible to salvage as much of the family's few possessions as possible.
I was very busy at the time, but there were few complaints.
The older children are very sensible and will even help their parents to coax the younger siblings.
Then, he saw some rogues in the village, sneaking around while everyone was busy...
Yu Youquan felt all this the whole time, as if he had some enlightenment.
The same rice feeds hundreds of people, and the world of mortals must be a mixture of black and white. Everyone has countless faces.
And adding layers of money is the norm in society, and it is the same no matter in the past or present life.
After moving to the mountain, the villagers built simple shelters, boiled water, and collected fuel under the command of the old man...
In a short period of time, most of the villagers became busy.
It’s very chaotic, but there’s some order in the chaos!
Yu Youquan couldn't help but nodded.
This kind of "chaos" is the current situation, but it is also deliberately created by experienced old people.
Once people are idle, it is easy to cause trouble!
There are a lot of people in Guizhou who get wet in the rain, and it might be the beginning of a typhoid fever!
Yu Youquan thought for a while, then found Governor Pang again and asked him about the location of the nearest town.
He plans to buy some food and medicinal materials and come back!
Governor Pang's eyes lit up, and he knew everything he could say.
He did not doubt whether the little immortal in front of him could cross the river. After all, he was an immortal. What else could not be accomplished?
Yu Youquan felt that Governor Pang had unimaginable trust and expectations for him, and was speechless for a moment.
He has only just started practicing!
but.
The almost superstitious trust that ordinary people have in practitioners may also be a kind of worldly love!
