Chapter 14: The Boat, the River God

"Deputy Head Yang, everything is please." Wu Yuansheng smiled again, which made Yang Tianfeng get goosebumps, "Head Yan is a generous person, and the reward is a reward, these two girls are not included." This is the wedding gift from Head Yan to you, be a maid for the third aunt, when it's okay, play a few tricks, how good! ”

Given for nothing, well, what a beautiful thing to say. Yang Tianfeng smiled and thanked him, and then pretended to be kind and reminded: "Commander Yan, oh, brother congratulates you on your promotion in advance, first call Commander Yan, and this Mr. Wu, then the position of Chief of General Staff belongs to you." By the way, brother has another heartfelt word, let's please the Japanese and prescribe the right medicine, Your Excellency Watanabe likes women, but we have a better way, and we can't learn from Wang Jinqing. ”

"What's the method?" Yan Baocai's eyes lit up, grinning, and Harazi almost flowed out.

"His Excellency Watanabe is a soldier, but also a Japanese samurai, advocating bushido. Bushido, does Commander Yan know what it means? Yang Tianfeng raised his eyebrows and said very mysteriously.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know very well, please tell Deputy Head Yang in detail." Although Wu Yuansheng usually tries to pretend to be knowledgeable, he is now humbly seeking advice.

"Bushido, what do you say?" Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said: "I value the strong, despise the weak, and look down on the servile." There is an old Chinese saying, what is it called-"

"Sympathize with each other, know heroes and value heroes." Wu Yuansheng opened the fan as if he had suddenly realized, and nodded again and again.

"yes, that's what it means." Yang Tianfeng clapped his hands and stretched out his thumb to Wu Yuansheng appreciatively, Wu Yuansheng smiled and became more complacent.

Wu Yuansheng gently shook the folding fan and sighed: "Jin Yu good words, Jin Yu good words!" Today is a great benefit. ”

Yan Baocai didn't seem to understand, but he didn't dare to show his clumsiness, so he had to grin and smirk beside him, as if he really understood something.

Yang Tianfeng saw that all the equipment was loaded onto the ship, and the people and horses who were traveling by land also crossed the river, so he said goodbye to Yan and Wu.

Yan Baocai and Wu Yuansheng were happy in their hearts, and sent the two girls to the boat, as if they had taken a big advantage. Until Yang Tianfeng's boat sailed away from the shore, the two fools were still waving to him.

Hey, two***! Yang Tianfeng stood at the bow of the boat, sneered, and sat on the bench brought by Huzi.

With a cool breeze and sparkling water, several boats lined up and sailed down the whirlpool river. There are rolling wheat waves on both sides of the strait, and if there is no water, this year's harvest is really good!

Yang Tianfeng sighed softly, under the wheel of history, the strength of the individual seemed so weak and powerless, he knew that this fertile, harvesting plain was about to turn into a country, but he couldn't stop it, let alone stop it. Even trying his best to save the people of Qulong Town, a radius of a hundred miles, is not an easy thing for him.

Banging gongs and drums to make notices, and preaching them all over the world, does anyone believe it? The Yellow River is broken, how do you know? What kind of fairy are you, and you can still pinch it!

Don't say that the common people don't believe it, if you say it, I'm afraid that even people close to you will think that there is something wrong with their brains. Of course, Yang Tianfeng has a more reasonable statement for convincing the people around him, although it is not very satisfactory, but it can be regarded as being able to win people's trust. As for the common people, he is really worried.

Cutting down unripe crops ahead of time is not the same as killing them. The saying that people take food as the sky is not a joke. In order to be fed, cowardly people can also turn into fierce tigers. Look at the peasant uprisings in history, which one was not related to the hunger of the belly.

Moreover, historically, after the Yellow River burst, many people received the news but remained at home because they were reluctant to rely on the land and crops they relied on. They still had a glimmer of luck, hoping that the yellow water would not flow through their village, or that the walls would hold back the floods. However, as the water became stronger and stronger, the earthen wall soon broke after being soaked in water, and then collapsed violently. At this time, if you want to escape, the flood is too big, not to mention food, and even the hope of survival is very slim.

Yang Tianfeng wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, but he couldn't think of any good way. He looked up at Zheng Laocheng, who was holding on to Artemisia hard, and saw that he skillfully and easily moved the boat fast and steady, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "It is worthy of being the boss of the boat, and there are indeed two hits." ”

Hehe, Zheng Laocheng laughed twice and said, "If you eat this bowl of rice, you can't eat it twice." ”

"This year, the river is not very watery!" Yang Tianfeng asked casually: "Don't you need oars all the way?" ”

Zheng Laocheng replied with a smile: "This vortex river has eight rivers, sixteen bends, and three hammer beaches. The chief is right, the river is not big this year, and now it is the dry season, and it is almost the same with only the penny. ”

"Boat boss, what was it like in previous years when the whirlpool was at its largest? Have you ever breached a levee or flooded a field? Yang Tianfeng asked with concern.

Zheng Laocheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, in the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, the torrential rain continued, and the water overflowed the embankment, flooded a large piece of land, and drowned many people!" ”

Yang Tianfeng nodded, his mood becoming heavier and heavier. The drowning of many people that Zheng Laocheng said is nothing at all with the imminent Huayuankou embankment burst, and there is no comparison at all.

"Young master, it seems that there will be no water this year." Huzi was relieved beside him: "If the young master is still worried, why don't we go and invite Zhang Shenxian from Baima Beach to set up an altar to worship the gods." ”

"Zhang Shenxian, is it very powerful?" Yang Tianfeng asked casually.

"The chief doesn't know, Zhang Shenxian is the mortal body of the river god itself, and when he starts the law, as soon as the river god goes up, it is amazing." Zheng Laocheng said solemnly: "It's just that I want to invite Zhang Shenxian to come out, the cost is not a small number, and when you sacrifice to the river god, you may also need a boy and a girl or a twenty-eight-year-old yellow flower girl." ”

"Oh, and there is such a saying, do you want to marry a wife for the river god?" Yang Tianfeng frowned, there is an article about Ximen Leopard Zhiye in the primary school textbook, how can there be such a stupid thing in this era. Cheating money and eating is forgivable, but harming people's lives through feudal superstition is an unforgivable sin.

But in his mind, he didn't just hate these gods who wanted to kill people, but thought of other things, and his originally vague thoughts gradually became clear.

"Hehe, the river god stays in the water all year round, and he also feels stuffy!" Huzi smiled heartlessly.

Yang Tianfeng glanced at him and sneered: "I see that you are bored, don't worry, I remember your business, which girl you fancie, you will marry, how much does it cost, young master, I will pay for it." ”
