Seeing this scene, the grandma next to her chuckled, patted the other person's head with a doting face, and said, "Girl, be careful, the moat is deep, you should be careful."
"Got it, grandma!"
The little girl raised her head and asked in a childish voice: "But, grandma, why do we make these paper boats?"
"Because today is the birthday of the river god."
"River God?"
The little girl tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand these two words.
Grandma patiently explained: "The gods of the river... are the gods in our river. They are very powerful. They can control the river water and prevent the river from flooding."
"More importantly, he can also bless the common people and realize the wishes of the common people!"
"Every year on the birthday of the river god, we come to worship the grandfather of the river god. What is carried on these paper boats is our sickness and pain."
"Throw them into the water, and the disease and pain will sink into the water together, and they will disappear!"
Hearing grandma's words, the little girl's eyes lit up immediately.
"Grandpa River God is so powerful!"
"Then he will bless Niannian and grow up happily?"
"Of course I will!" Grandma smiled softly and said, "My family Nian Nian is so cute, Grandpa River God will definitely bless Nian Nian, be happy, happy and safe!"
Hearing this, the little girl was very happy, jumping up and down by the river.
This happy appearance infected many people present.
Seeing Nian Nian's cute appearance, many people couldn't help but smile.
however.
Compared with the joy on the bank of the river.
In the river yamen of Songshan City, there was a dull silence.
From Zhang Tianqiao, governor of the river channel, to all the civil and military officials below, all of them are frowning at this moment, as if they have encountered some difficult things.
At this moment, Zhang Tianqiao was heard saying: "Everyone..."
"Recently, Songshan City has been cloudy and rainy. The water level of the moat and several other rivers is constantly rising, and the river embankment is even facing the possibility of collapse."
"If we don't come up with a solution, I'm afraid the embankment will really collapse within half a month!"
"At that time, the city will be flooded with floods, causing countless casualties!"
"You and I are all together, but we have to throw ourselves into the moat and apologize with death!"
Hearing Zhang Tianqiao's words, the faces of the officials present all changed slightly, with worried expressions in their eyes.
Songshan City is a small city in the south, the air is humid all year round, there are many rivers, and it is often rainy, with light rain for three days and heavy rain for two days.
although.
Over the years, they have been preventing the river from bursting its banks.
But there was too much rain.
In addition, it is the rainy season recently.
If there is no solution, the moat may really face collapse.
still remember……
Two years ago, the moat burst once.
That flood directly caused hundreds of thousands of people to be drowned in the flood, and countless families were torn apart.
In a rage, the emperor executed more than a dozen officials of the Hedao Yamen.
and so.
Preventing the moat from bursting is not only protecting the people, but also protecting their future and destiny.
After thinking for a while, an official said: "Your Excellency, according to the officials, it is better to increase the number of sandbags beside the embankment. In this way, as long as there are enough sandbags, the river will not be able to cross, and the people will be able to live in peace. .”
Zhang Tianqiao shook his head and said, "This method won't work. The moat has an area of tens of thousands of square meters and is very aggressive. Once the embankment bursts, it won't be blocked by just one or two sandbags."
Hearing this, the officials suddenly fell silent.
at this time.
I only heard another official say: "Your Excellency, this subordinate has a plan..."
"This strategy is based on hearsay from other places, and it may be useful."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianqiao immediately asked curiously, "What's the plan? Let's hear it."
The official coughed lightly, and then said in an extremely mysterious way: "My subordinate... I heard that the reason why the river flooded was because the river god in the river was angry!"
"Just prepare ten boys and girls and throw them into the moat, and everything will be safe!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianqiao's complexion instantly became strangely ugly.
He slammed the table and said angrily, "Fart!"
"Wang Rulong, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, you dare to say such alarmist words!"
"The duty of our Hedao Yamen is to protect the people from floods, not to engage in these feudal superstitions!"
"Come on!"
"Drag this bastard out for me to beat him eighty times! No one is allowed to let go until he is beaten to pieces!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the two yamen servants walked into the lobby, no matter how much the official begged, they dragged him out directly.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the surrounding officials changed slightly, and their eyes showed shock.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Tianqiao was so angry was not only because Wang Rulong disregarded human life and treated the people like nothing.
Another reason is that Zhang Tianqiao doesn't believe in the so-called river god at all.
Over the years, every time the flood burst, he led the officials to resist.
Eighteen years ago, when the moat burst, he led a group of officials to the front line to protect millions of people in the city.
Fifteen years ago, the Yellow River flooded and flooded the city.It was also he who worked tirelessly without sleep, rushing to repair the embankment and cast fences overnight.That time, he didn't close his eyes for three whole days, and his hands and feet were soaked by the river water.
Ten years ago, Matsuyama City experienced heavy rain for a month, which caused the water level of the river to rise and the embankment to collapse.It was he who led all the officials to build embankments desperately, and blocked the flood of the river with a series of human walls.
Over the past few decades, how many young lives have been buried in the flood.
Even now, Zhang Tianqiao still remembers these names in his heart.
He understands that the reason why the people of Songshan City are safe and sound is precisely because of the dedication of these young lives!
If there really is a river god...
That should also be those heroes and martyrs who died in the flood!
And when Zhang Tianqiao was feeling sad.
Outside the gate of the Hedao Yamen, there was a sudden urgent voice:
"Your Excellency! It's not good!"
"Something happened!"
A yamen servant hurried in and said with a panicked face: "Just now there is news from the moat that a large number of ghosts have been found invading!"
"It seems... It seems that the Shadow Palace of Shenting suddenly launched an attack on Songshan City!"
"The quantity... there are more than 5!"
"what?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianqiao's face changed suddenly, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Fifty thousand ghosts!
All of them gathered in the moat?
it's over...
The moat was already in jeopardy, and now there are ghosts invading again!
Wouldn't the moat be...
"not good!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianqiao's face suddenly changed, and his heart seemed to shrank severely.
The next moment, he stood up suddenly and shouted at the officials beside him: "All civil and military officials, gather in the moat!"
"Ghosts are invading, the embankment must be in danger!"
"Even if you die, you must not let the river burst!!"
Chapter 202 The river broke its embankment, and the river god came
Meanwhile, over the moat.
The monstrous black mist was violently rolling over the river, and the turbulent death energy was like sea waves, continuously filling the direction of the moat along the sky.
At this moment, the faces of all the ghost masters changed.
He looked up to the sky warily.
"That is……"
Elder Liu's complexion changed, and his pupils shrank violently.
Behind the black mist, there are densely packed ghosts!They covered the clouds and covered the sun, like locusts crossing the border, there were more than 5 of them!
"No, why are there so many ghosts?"
Mr. Liu took a deep breath, and then he realized that at the forefront of these ghosts was the hideous Lord of the Shadow Palace, Sombra!
The moment they saw the black shadow, all the ghost masters trembled, and their eyes subconsciously showed panic.
"not good……"
"That's... the Lord of the Shadow Palace of the Divine Court!"
"Damn it, why did Sombra go out in person?"
"Quick! Quickly notify the people by the moat and evacuate to the city!"
"Evacuate all the people into the tunnel! Do not cause casualties to the people!"
The sound of panic resounded throughout the entire Songshan City for a while.
soon.
Under the arrangement of the ghost masters, the people frantically rushed towards the tunnel in the city. For a while, the entire moat was filled with the sound of panic and crying.
the other side.
Zhang Tianqiao also led a group of officials from the river yamen to the moat.
Behind them, there are hundreds of river workers from the river yamen, each of whom is carrying a bag of heavy sandbags.
When he saw the densely packed ghosts in the sky, Zhang Tianqiao's face changed suddenly, and he quickly scolded: "Quick! Hurry up and raise the embankment!"
"Before the ghost makes a move, quickly raise the embankment!"
Although sandbags may not be effective against ghosts, but the situation is urgent now, so we can only use sandbags to block them first.
"Yes!"
Hearing Zhang Tianqiao's words, many river workers nodded immediately.
Then they carried sandbags and rushed in the direction of the moat.
……
above the sky.
Looking at the chaotic Songshan City, Hei Ying couldn't help showing a sneer.
For this day, he has been preparing for a long time!
