Chapter 277: God of the Desert
At this time, the temperature is not high, the workers have to hurry up, and when the temperature is high, it will be troublesome, not only will the efficiency of the work decrease, but also the trouble of heat stroke, after all, Lin Quan advertised to them before that they should drink more water and salt water, but they didn't care very much.

The taste of salt water is indeed not good, so normal people don't like to drink it, and drinking a lot of pure water after sweating a lot is equivalent to directly diluting the water and electrolyte balance in the human body, which will easily cause potential harm.
In order to solve this problem, Lin Quan can only stipulate that he should finish his work before half past eleven and continue to work after half past three in the afternoon!
This decision was very popular with the workers, because it meant that they had at least four hours to rest, take a nap at noon, play a little card, and watch a little film, which was excellent.
"Hey, the water in this well really hasn't dropped, but has risen!"
Before he knew it, the pump had been pumping water for half an hour, and the person who spoke before took a closer look at this time, thinking that he would see the bottom of the well, but unexpectedly found a scene that made him jaw-dropping, the water in the well not only did not fall, but rose a little, which made him doubt his eyes.
So I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and then looked at it again, oh! The water in this well seems to be a little higher than the water level he just saw?
What's going on? The water in the well is rising instead of falling, and it is still rising at a rate that is visible to the naked eye?
"Really? Let me see! ”
The other person in the group also ran over to take a look, and then his expression was similar to that of the person in front of him, all of them had the expression of a ghost.
After seeing the two of them with this expression, everyone came to watch, and found that the water of the well did not fall, and it was really rising slowly, someone brought a ruler, tied a stone with a rope, and then fell into the well to measure, and found that the water level of the well had risen to 17 meters!
In other words, the water level in this well has risen by 1 meter compared to the morning?
Everyone couldn't figure out what the situation was, someone thought of what Lin Quan said before, could it really be that he watched the sky at night and then knew?
Therefore, everyone's eyes looking at Lin Quan began to change, and they all looked at Lin Quan with admiration, and many people worshiped him as a god!
Niger is a relatively backward country, the country is similar to other countries in North Africa, that is, there is a relatively deep tribal culture, and in each tribal culture, there are various gods, these gods have the ability to reach the sky, can do a lot of things, so they have become the object of their admiration and worship, and at this time, Lin Quan successfully predicted that the water in this well will not dry up, but will rise, so when everyone looks at him, there is an extra layer of awe in their eyes.
Many people will unconsciously associate him with the gods in their tribe, probably those legendary gods are just such a skill!
"Okay, it's too slow to pump, let's all start digging a trench! After a few days, the well here should be able to produce water automatically, and the water resources will be abundant by then! ”
Just when everyone was puzzled by the rise in the water level in the well, Lin Quan began to "predict" again, he actually said that the water in the well would flow out automatically, as soon as these words came out, all the people present were silent, the scene was quiet, everyone look at me, I look at you, the face is surprised, confused and expectant.
Lin Quan had already predicted correctly once before, this time, would his prediction still be accurate?
Everyone has no bottom in their hearts, but if Lin Quan's prediction is really accurate, then this can help them save a lot of time and work, and save them a lot of time in carrying and pumping water, so everyone is looking forward to it.
Ackerman had studied science, so he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but there was really no way to explain what was happening in the desert now, and these things couldn't be explained by science, which also made him feel very confused and confused, so he had to take tools and collect corresponding data on each well, trying to observe and explain the principle of this change as much as possible.
But it's a pity that many things really can't be explained by science, Lin Quan feels that it seems to be a very good way to play tricks at this time, at least to divert everyone's attention from his ancient jade, although everyone doesn't know the existence of his ancient jade, but if everyone believes that there are really gods, then out of awe of the gods, they won't investigate in detail, or even touch these things at all, then in this case, The chances of his ancient jade secret being discovered would be much lower.
So Lin Quan immediately selected a few group members and asked them to prepare some things, which were all for sacrifice!
A wooden table, a cow skull, a shaman's puff, and then a dance that Lin Quan created himself.
In this way, under these suggested tools, Lin Quan began to pray and sacrifice under the gaze of hundreds of workers.
"Heavenly Spirit, Heavenly Spirit, Taishang Laojun has come to give an order! Haste as a law! ”
Lin Quan speaks Chinese, and he speaks it in dialects, so these Nigeriens can't understand it at all, but for them, the more they can't understand the words at this time, the more they will feel fear and awe, because of the language of the gods, they naturally don't understand, after all, they are just mortals!
A blessing ceremony, after Lin Quan danced a strange dance that even he didn't know what the name was, finally ended!
And hundreds of workers were dumbfounded, not knowing what the result was, but seeing Lin Quan's sweating appearance, they were a little worried in their hearts, worried that Lin Quan's prayer was not going very well, if it failed, they even felt that these trees did not need to be planted, and they just carried the hoe home, since the gods did not agree to their prayers, it would be in vain.
So at this time, everyone didn't dare to take a breath, and they all opened their eyes wide, looking at Lin Quan quietly, wanting to wait for him to announce the final result.
"Okay, the god of the desert has agreed to lend us water, but he doesn't want to appear in front of everyone, so he will come over tonight to help us draw water, after everyone enters the tent at night, it's best not to come out and walk around, and don't peep outside, because the god of the desert will bring his faithful servant, the desert crocodile to patrol, if he is bumped into by a human when he casts a spell, then that human will be in danger of life, as long as the god of the desert is not happy, he may kill you at any time!"
The results announced by Lin Quan made the workers very happy, but in order to prevent this group of guys from tracing back to their roots, Lin Quan also made up a lie to deceive them, so that they would not dare to come out and peep casually at night, so that Lin Quan secretly put Gu Yu in the well at night, and it would not be so easy to be discovered.
When the workers heard that Lin Quan had moved out of the desert god, they were all frightened at once, Niger is a country located in the middle of the desert, so the desert god is the most heard god for them.
Legend has it that the god of the desert is fierce and cruel, in order to punish humans, he often launches various sandstorms to attack humans, and for those who are lost in the desert, the god of the desert is even more deadly, because he will control the movement of the quicksand, move the quicksand to the feet of the traveler, so that the traveler falls into the quicksand, so that he is devoured by the god of the desert, and after the god of the desert devours these travelers, he will enjoy his flesh and blood, and after eating, he will spit out the bones, so many people who fall into the quicksand, By the time it was discovered, all that was left was a pile of bones! d
