894, History
Wang Zhaodi's mood is happy, these residents of the sand basin, get the coveted water, can continue their lives, their mood, it is even more happy, they will Wang Zhaodi as a life-saving benefactor, scrambling to invite Wang Zhaodi to their own home as a guest, their home storage food, very rich, because there is no water, so can not cook, now with water, can make the most delicious food!
So they all invited Wang Zhaodi to be a guest, Wang Zhaodi was only one person, and there was no way to meet the requirements of so many people, so Wang Zhaodi proposed, everyone put the pot table in the open space of the square, and everyone ate together, and had the most lively big pot of rice!
Wang Zhaodi's proposal would naturally be adopted, so these residents immediately took action, set up dozens of cauldrons in an open place, moved more than a hundred huge stones, and everyone sat around on this simple stone table, and the women made the dishes and served them, and everyone immediately ate happily.
Wang Zhaodi sat at the largest bluestone round table, and the people at the same table with her were all people with a little prestige in the sand basin, and the middle-aged man who was most familiar with Wang Zhaodi before sat next to Wang Zhaodi, he was the most famous doctor in this sand basin, so he had a high prestige.
He is also the oldest wise man in this sand basin, don't look at his appearance, he seems to be just a middle-aged man, but in fact, his lifespan is the longest in the sand basin, there have been more than a thousand years, and he is the only one who has more than a thousand years in the sand basin.
So when Wang Zhaodi asked him about any historical legends about the sand basin, or even the places around the sand basin, he didn't know anything.
Wang Zhaodi's first question is, has the sand basin been so dry and lacking water since the beginning?
The wise man nodded and said, "That's true, from the beginning, the sand basin was arid, otherwise, it wouldn't be called a sand basin!"
Wang Zhaodi asked curiously, "Since it is so dry, why did the ancestors settle here, is it because other places have been occupied by people and have no place to stay?"
The wise man shook his head and said, "The sand basin is the earliest place where there are people, a radius of hundreds of miles, or even hundreds of miles, the sand basin is the first to appear with people, just like the current Bishui Lake, there were only demon beasts there before, and there were no people at all!"
Brother Wang Zhaodi nodded and said, "So, from the beginning, the sand basin was not so bad and unsuitable for living, but it was the safest and most suitable place to live?"
The wise man also nodded and said, "No, until the last few years, this place is also suitable for living, although it is drier, but the rain will not be less, everyone has developed the habit of storing water, so there has never been a shortage of water!"
Wang Zhaodi said, "Then what is the reason that this place has suddenly become a city of flames, and not a drop of rain will fall here!"
The wise man sighed, looked into the distance, and thought for a moment before saying, "This has been the case since that man came!"
"Which person, what kind of person is it?" Wang Zhaodi asked.
The wise man said, "It's a person dressed as a Taoist priest, about fifty years ago, there was a Taoist priest who suddenly came to the sand basin, he wanted to buy the whole sand basin and let us move away, this is our homeland, we naturally don't want to, so the Taoist priest left, when he left, he said a curse, saying that there will not be a drop of rain here for a hundred years! Sure enough, since he came, it has been more than 50 years now, and there has never been a drop of rain, and we can only get water from the blue water pool!"
Wang Zhaodi nodded frequently when she heard this, she thought in her heart, what kind of person is this Taoist priest, who actually has such a powerful ability, so that a place as big as the sand basin can't rain a drop of rain!
And the wise man continued, "At first, we took water from Bishuitan, it was just a little tired, everyone can still live, but there was a vicious king, he occupied Bishuitan, so that all of us who take water from Bishuitan have to pay for water, and the high price is scary, it didn't take long, we were almost squeezed dry by him, and there was no money to buy water, so we had to endure and wait for a noble person to come to the rescue, but I didn't expect to wait for you!"
Wang Zhaodi sighed and said, "I can't talk about nobles, but I can't see others suffering, and when I see others suffering, I will come to my rescue!"
The wise man also nodded and said, "Although I am old and dizzy, I can still see that you are the noble man of our sand basin, you are our savior, you will definitely bring us a good life, and you will bring us the quiet and happy days of the past from the beginning!"
Brother Wang Zhaodi didn't talk back to him, ate all the dishes in front of him, and said, "I think, I should go and check first, where did the king come from, and whether he has any connection with the Taoist priest you said!"
The wise man said, "I'm happy to help you, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me at any time, I know, I will tell you completely!"
Wang Zhaodi said, "I know, when I go to check the king of Bishuitan first, if I have new questions, I will ask you to answer them!"
The wise man nodded and said, "Okay, although I know a lot of things, but if you don't ask, I really don't know, where to tell you!"
Wang Zhaodi nodded yes, and then said, "The water I brought back should be enough for all of you to use for ten days, no matter what, after ten days, I will find a way to get you water, and if I am lucky, I can bring you a rain!"
The wise man was overjoyed and said, "If we can really make it rain in our sand basin, we are willing to promise that we will obey you as our hero for generations, and all our people in the sand basin will obey your call!"
The wise man's words were out of sincerity, of course Wang Zhaodi could feel it, she nodded, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I will work hard, and I will definitely let you return to the peaceful and quiet life you had before!"
It was night, everyone was full of food and drink, and lay down on the sand to rest, Wang Zhaodi also fell asleep, but it didn't take long for her to wake up, only to see that in the afterglow of the bonfire, there were many people lying on the ground in the dark, she stood up and walked forward quietly, she wanted to explore the king of the blue water pool again, to see what his origin was!
According to the wise man, this king, and that Taoist priest, are definitely all the way, the Taoist priest controlled the rain of the sand table through the crooked way, and then let the king come forward to sell the water of the blue water pool, the two seem to be cooperating, and the distribution of benefits is that the king gets real money, and the Taoist priest naturally wants to kill all the residents on the sand basin, and then he will occupy the land of the sand basin!
