Chapter Ninety-Five: Asking for Rain
Every time a natural disaster occurs, it is the most likely for people to riot. Ning Bosheng nervously protected Zhu Yuan behind him, thinking about how to break out.
Although these refugees did not pose any threat in Ning Bosheng's eyes, he had no way to point the long sword in his hand at the people.
"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" The guards frowned and asked him, if it was a robber, he would have killed him with a sword, but these were the refugees they wanted to save, and no one could do anything.
Zhu Yuan found that this group of refugees was just surrounding them, and he didn't mean to rush over and hurt people, so he whispered to Ning Bosheng, "It's better to listen to what they say first." ”
The crowd fell silent, pondering what was being said in a thick accent.
"They are so well dressed, they must have come from somewhere else, and they have food hidden on them."
"We just need to grab the food and not hurt anyone."
"What if they don't want to?" Some people are very confused about how to grab the food without hurting people.
Almost all of the refugees surrounding Ning Bosheng were young and middle-aged, and the elderly, weak, women and children in the family were hungry and hungry, and they had no choice but to make this decision.
It's just that they used to be honest and dutiful people, and when they started to grab food, they still remembered not to hurt people.
Ning Bosheng was relieved when they understood that the refugees only wanted some food.
One of the doormen walked over with a gentle smile, and the refugees were frightened by him and wanted to back off.
Suddenly remembering that they were coming to grab food, and that there were so many people that there was nothing to fear, he stood there with trembling legs.
The doorman asked gently, "How many days have you not eaten?" He pointed at Ning Bosheng, "Our son-in-law brought food, and he will share it with you." ”
The refugees instantly relieved all their vigilance, and before they could get the food, they thanked Ning Bosheng for his kindness.
"Beibei, you take them to bring the dried fish we have prepared." Zhu Yuan and Ning Bosheng learned about the situation in Shuicheng, while Bai Bei took a few more powerful people to move the dried fish that had been prepared long ago.
"Childe, do you bring a lot of food?" When he asked, there was no greed in his eyes, only supplication. "I also have a mother in my 60s at home, and she hasn't eaten for several days."
"Don't worry, it's enough. Later, each of you will get a portion of dried fish and food to take home. After Ning Bosheng finished speaking, the refugees boiled again and knelt down as lifesavers.
"Haven't you found water in Watertown yet?" The doorman asked, because not only had these people not eaten, but they also looked like they hadn't drunk water in a long time.
"The lake to the east is out of water, only the well at home can be a little, but it should be gone soon." It is precisely because it is almost gone, so these people are extra careful when drinking water and refuse to waste a little.
Zhu Yuan and Bai Bei divided the dried fish and grain, and the baskets they brought over were soon gone.
The refugees who received the food were grateful to her and stumbled for a long time before leaving.
Zhu Yuan looked at the already empty basket and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. The food given to them today can save a lot of people.
After learning about the situation in Shuicheng, Ning Bosheng and the others never showed a smile.
They walked around the city before returning to the state capital.
"The food we bring will run out one day."
"If it rains, the crops can be replanted, and the people will have a harvest, they will not die of thirst."
In short, the most important thing right now is that it rains, or that there must be water.
But this was all resigned to fate, and they sat in the carriage and discussed for a long time, but they did not think of a suitable solution.
The prefect heard the sound of a carriage rolling and waited outside early. As soon as Ning Bosheng got out of the carriage, he chased after him and asked, "Lord Wang, how is the situation in Shuicheng?" ”
He is the prefect, there is no way to patrol around, and the situation in various places is seen from the folds handed over from below. Even so, it was already shocking.
Ning Bosheng didn't speak, and the doorman next to him told him about Shuicheng.
"So the only way to do it now is to ask for rain?" The prefect's face was pale, and they all knew that asking for rain was up to God, and mortals couldn't decide.
Whenever there is a drought, there are endless ways to ask for rain.
Ning Bosheng came back from Shuicheng, and without a moment's pause, he discussed with everyone how to ask for rain.
Zhu Yuan didn't think that such a fantasy method would work, but she also knew that this was the only hope at the moment, and she would not break their expectations, so she quietly left the house.
She took Bai Bei back to the house, and sat there for a long time with a sad face, motionless.
"Beibei, do you think the prince and their begging for rain can succeed?" Zhu Yuan grabbed Bai Bei and asked.
He tilted his head and thought about it, thinking of the heat outside and the recent weather, Bai Bei shook his head, "It shouldn't work, there is no sign of rain now." ”
"But without water, those people will die." Zhu Yuan grabbed a handful of his hair, "I want to use the fishing space to imitate a relatively large lake on the edge of the Taihe River, and the surrounding people can draw water from the lake." ”
"Nope." Bai Bei interrupted her with a very serious expression. "This is against the will of God, and if you insist on doing so, you will be damned."
Zhu Yuan didn't understand, when she was in Xingcheng before, she could imitate a lake, why couldn't she get here?
"There is a difference between the two, the famine in Taihe is destined by God, and my mother cannot go against its established fate, so I can only think of other ways to help it survive this catastrophe." What Bai Bei said is unfathomable, anyway, Zhu Yuan is not allowed to imitate the lake.
She wanted to save those people, so she was a little anxious, and suddenly raised her voice, "Before coming to Taihe, didn't you just say that only I can solve the famine?" I don't have any other abilities but fishing space, and if I don't let it now, how else can I solve it? ”
Bai Bei was stunned by her roar, and only after a long time did he whisper, "It's not okay to imitate a lake, it's against the mandate of heaven, mother, you will be punished by heaven." "In other words, it's still the same sentence.
Zhu Yuan's face was ugly and he didn't say a word.
Bai Bei frowned and stepped forward to comfort her, "Actually, my mother is very powerful, there must be other ways." ”
"And Daddy, he'll help too." Bai Bei also pulled Ning Bosheng in, "We will think of a way, there is no need to use the kind of method that will hurt my mother." ”
Zhu Yuan exhaled deeply, his mood calmed down a lot, knowing that Bai Bei was for her good. Took the initiative to apologize to him, "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have been so impulsive to you." Babe, I'm sorry. ”
