558, [to stand in the way]
After all, people have limited strength. Using buckets to irrigate the fields is definitely not a way to promote them on a large scale. Especially considering that the fields next to the river are actually very limited in area.
The river surface is very spacious, the center of the river is very deep, almost ten feet long, and the water in the river is flowing quietly. With the long vision, you can see that there are many fish swimming under the water near the shore, and water plants are swaying with the waves.
The water in this river is very large, but the water here cannot be used by the people around you.
There were many people gathering not far ahead.
Fang Chang pressed the clouds and walked over quietly.
When I got closer, Fangchang found that it was very lively and many people were busy preparing. Some were decorating the floats, some were preparing for the unfinished flower boats, as well as many clothing and utensils. There was also a troupe of playing musical instruments next to it, holding suona, bamboo sheng, gong, etc.
Some vendors rushed over and pushed a cart to sell the groceries on it.
But there are no children in this group, so even if the vendors yell hard, their business will not be very good.
Fang Chang still heard the crying in the crowd.
With his ears, he was able to collect chat voices from all the people present at the same time, so in just a short time, he figured out what was going on here and what was going to happen next.
The people here are also praying for rain.
Instead of waiting for the actions of the state capital, they exerted their subjective initiative and prayed to a temple here that had been very effective in the past few years.
The temple is right by the river. When Equation looks over, I see that the temple is quite grand. The plaque above the entrance of the temple has three big characters "Heshen Temple". At the end of the plaque, there are also signatures of local celebrities.
Shaking his head, Fang Chang left the group of people and walked towards the temple.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Heshen Temple, he raised his hand and knocked it three times with his middle finger joints.
"Tu tuk--"
Although he was gently knocking in the air, his movements still made a knock on the door. At the same time, the river god in the temple also felt that he had been knocked lightly three times not far from his forehead. Knowing that a master was visiting, the river god quickly opened his sight and saw the white man waiting quietly outside the temple gate. He immediately went out to greet him and invited him into his cave.
"I don't know that the immortal came to welcome him, and I will forgive my sins." The river god saluted respectfully and said.
Fang Chang refused the River God's action of letting him into his seat. He stood in the hall and said to the River God in front of him: "I wonder what the people outside are about to do, can you know?"
The River God instantly guessed Fang Chang’s purpose: This is to come and ask for punishment.
He smiled bitterly and bowed again and said, "The actions of the people outside are really stupid, but the little god is unable to protect himself recently and has no strength to stop him."
This makes sense.
Fang Chang looked at the River God, and the body of this god was no longer enough to stare.
The River God also explained at this time:
"For us little gods, the biggest risk is that the people no longer believe it. This is even more terrifying than being forgotten. After all, God is actually living in people's hearts."
"After a few years of drought, the people have come to beg for it many times. The little god is powerless and has already defeated most of his effective reputation."
"Now that the people have made extreme actions, the little god has no strength and no ability to stop them. It just so happens that they come here first, and I hope to save the two children."
Fang Chang nodded and said:
"That's natural. When I encounter such a thing, I cannot let go. But I may borrow the water from the river in the future, and I hope you will agree."
In response to this, the Heshen said generously:
"The river water is a thing between heaven and earth, and it is endless. Even if the immortal uses it, it is only."
…………
After coming out of the River God Temple, Fang Chang did not act rushing, but turned into an inconspicuous look again and walked among the people who were about to set off.
They are close to packing up the floats, and the bottomless flower boat is ready.
There are boys and girls who are placed on the float amid the crying of their parents. Both children are already at the age of sensible and are powerless to do anything about this situation, and they just keep crying.
Fang Chang walked to the side and poked a middle-aged man who was staring carefully:
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
The middle-aged man was staring at the musical instrument in the hand of the squad. When he heard Fang Chang’s question, he turned his head and said:
"Brother, which village do you belong to? I don't know what such a big deal?"
"I'm a foreigner. I happened to be here and saw that there were many people gathering here, doing big things, and the two dolls were placed in the car. What were you going to do?"
"Oh, that's how it's so. The people from other people don't know these, but it makes people understand. It's also unlucky for us. We have been drought for several years and it doesn't rain. There is no way. The genius in the village said that we can give the river god some high-end offerings, and maybe we can get the rain down." The middle-aged man said, and then continued to watch people play the suona audition.
"Then these two children are sacrifices? Why do you need to use a living person? No one objected?" Fang Chang said in confusion.
"Oh, who would object to life and death? Even the two families who were drawn by the lottery also supported them before. What if it works?"
"Does the government care?"
"The Yamen knows what happened here. After all, they are busy with disaster relief. Even if they know, they don't know how long it will take. And I guess, even if the Yamen knows, they won't care too much about this matter. After all, they are afraid of arousing civil unrest."
Well, this person is quite knowledgeable and even knows about civil unrest.
Fang Chang continued, "Didn't anyone see those two rains just now? Maybe there will be a way out in the state soon."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Of course I saw it. It is probably because the city of the state is praying for rain again. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice in the past few years. It is exciting for the first time, but no one cares about it later. After all, the range and rainfall are too small, and they can't play any role. They are always happy. Speaking of which, the state is praying for rain, and we are also praying for rain here, and we are doing the same thing."
It seems that what the prefecture's actions have been known to everyone in the countryside, and they are even used to them. Fang sighed long and slowly said in the middle-aged man's puzzled eyes:
"Things like rain will turn around next year."
"As for now, I'll do it."
As he said that, he stood up and moved forward, blocking the long line of people who had already lifted the float, started to blow and set off.
Someone immediately came out of the team and faced Fang Chang, and scolded in an angry tone:
Chapter completed!
