Chapter 136: Legends

While eating, several men with big shoulders and round waists came into the store.

They were all sweating profusely, as if they had just finished some drudgery.

"Boss, here are ten drawers of meat buns!" shouted the man at the head.

"Okay, Li Laosan, how is the work?" the boss asked as he put on the bun.

"Almost, the altar has been dug up, the statue of the river god has been erected, after eating, I will carry the two pieces of pigs you bought with crowdfunding, yes, I remember that you said that you were responsible, right? Don't forget, this will be used at noon today!" Li Laosan said while stuffing the bun into his mouth.

"Don't worry, I can't forget this! My uncle sells that, I said hello early in the morning, and I'll send it at ten o'clock later!" said the shopkeeper.

Wang Ming and Liu Zizhong glanced at each other, the altar of the river god?

"Brother Li, take the liberty of asking, what altar?" Wang Ming greeted.

"Little baby, how do you know that my surname is Li?" said Li Laosan strangely.

"Hey, doesn't the boss call you Li Laosan!" Wang Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, look at me, I'm tired and dizzy. As he spoke, Li Laosan stuffed another bun.

"I heard what you just said, what kind of sacrificial activities are you going to do?" Wang Ming said curiously.

"Yes, sacrifice to the river god!" Li Laosan said.

"River god, where did this river come from?" Wang Ming was a little strange.

"Didn't this originally have a moat, the river god who worships the moat!" replied Li Laosan.

"But isn't this moat filled?" Wang Ming was a little puzzled, he had never heard of the moat and the river god.

"Young man, you don't know this, it's because we filled in the moat, which caused the river god to be angry, so recently, our X city has been earthquakes! Although this earthquake is not bad, but it is not a way to continue like this!" said the old lady who was eating next to her.

"Hey, is it so amazing, grandma, tell us about it!" As soon as they heard that it was related to the earthquake, Wang Ming and Liu Zizhong began to have long eyes, since they couldn't find the problem, why don't they look for it from the legends?

It turns out that a long time ago, there has always been a legend on this side of the South Gate Bridge.

It is said that when the moat was excavated, it encountered difficulties, which may have been due to the special geological reasons, and the backward production tools at that time, which led to the stagnation of the excavation work for a time.

One night, there was a sudden thunderstorm, a strong wind, and a heavy rain!

A giant tortoise has suddenly appeared!

The giant tortoise didn't know what method it used, and it directly cracked the ground!

And the cracks were directly filled by heavy rain!

The moat magically appeared!

Eventually, the giant turtle burrowed into the moat and never reappeared.

At that time, people thought that it was sent by God to help them dig the moat, so they revered the giant turtle as the river god.

"Giant tortoise, river god?" Wang Ming was a little strange, isn't this river god what kind of dragon is this?

"Grandma, you are superstitious! Besides, in that mythical story, aren't all river gods dragons, how can a turtle be a river god!" said a young man beside him.

"What is superstition? What is superstition? Besides, how can this turtle not be a river god? Isn't the prime minister of the Dragon King of the East China Sea a turtle? What's the matter, isn't the prime minister of the Dragon King of the East China Sea qualified to be a river god?" The old lady was a little angry.

"The turtle prime minister of the Dragon King of the East China Sea is just that, and he can't come to be a river god. The young man muttered quietly.

"You talk about it!" the old lady couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment, and stood up angrily.

"Eh, grandma, extinguish the fire, this young man is not sensible! Don't worry about him! You continue, I believe, I love to listen!" Wang Ming was full of spring breeze and sat directly next to the old lady.

Liu Zizhong moved his ass and sat on the opposite side.

"Hmph, they're all young people, why is the gap so big!" the old lady sat down under Wang Ming's comfort.

"Young man, do you really believe that there is a river god?" asked the old lady as she took a sip of soy milk.

"Believe it!" Wang Ming nodded heavily.

"Alas, many of these people say that this is superstition, that is superstition, and as a result, many of the things of the ancestors have been lost!" the old lady began to feel sad.

"Hey, yes!" Wang Min agreed.

"If you want me to say, there must be this immortal, there must be a god three feet above your head! All the evil and good things you have done! The gods in the sky are all watching!" said the old lady.

"Yes, yes, you are right, we should still have a sense of awe!" Liu Zizhong continued.

"You two young men, you will definitely have a great future in the future!" the folds on the old lady's smiling face were squeezed together.

"Grandma, tell us, what does this earthquake have to do with the river god? This river is gone, will the river god still be there?" Wang Ming hurriedly asked, he was afraid that the old lady would get farther and farther away.

"What is the river god doing? The river god is in charge of a river! If this river is gone, isn't it equivalent to making him lose his job? Young man, if someone smashes your rice bowl, will you be angry?" said the old lady with a glare.

"That's right, you're right, but hasn't this river been filled in for a few years, and why is the river god angry now?" asked Wang Ming.

"I didn't listen carefully, I just said, our river god, that's a turtle! What is the biggest characteristic of a turtle? I love to sleep! When we first filled in the river, we just caught up with the river god and fell asleep, he didn't know, I guess he just woke up at this moment!" the old lady said solemnly.

The river god still sleeps, and he doesn't even know that the river has been filled, so should this be considered dereliction of duty?

Wang Ming sneered.

But he wouldn't say it in front of the old lady.

"Oh, I see, but our earthquakes have been very regular these days, will this river god's anger be a burst?" Wang Ming asked another question like a curious baby.

Anyway, they have been checking for several days, but they can't find a reason, so it's better to see what the old lady will say.

As soon as he woke up, he found that the river had been filled, and then he felt a little crowded, so he slowly lifted his left foot and moved it, okay, we had an earthquake, and then he slowly raised his right foot and moved it, and we had an earthquake again! Then he had to move his foot to his favorite place first, didn't he? That's why we shook several times in succession!"
