Chapter 445: Rumors

However, instead of decreasing, the flow of these currents is a little larger than in previous years, as if ...... It's as if the entire area of water has been sucked up by the river without the slightest backflow, which is the reason for such a strange scene.

"Is there something strange in these rivers?"

Naturally, they thought about it.

And the maid also replied, "Some old people say that there are too many evil things in the city, which has caused the dragon king to be angry, so that there is a great drought and famine, and the people here will suffer......

This statement is a bit absurd, after all, no one has ever seen the so-called Dragon King, and the Dragon King Temple is just a clay statue, and there is no spirituality at all. It's like the immortals and Buddhas have not appeared for thousands of years, so there is no reason for a dragon clan like an immortal god to appear.

It's just that at this time, they naturally don't dare to talk nonsense, after all, the Dragon King has proven that he is indeed an immortal.

But at this moment, the maid continued to say a rather sensational-sounding rumor: "Speaking of which, there is another rumor. It is said that someone dug up something strange in the ground a few years ago, but no one knows what it is, and the person who dug it up soon became seriously ill and died, and there has been no follow-up since. But the real drought and famine seem to have started after that. ”

"Some people say that it could be that the man dug up the legendary drought and angered it, so there will be a punishment."

"Dryland?"

Qing Dai and Bai Yu glanced at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Although they don't know much about the existence of such extremely rare ghosts, they have heard of it somewhat.

It is said that when this special zombie appears, it will cause a drought in the land, causing the people to live in a difficult situation, and I don't know how many innocent people will die, and it is easy to attract righteous people who eliminate demons. In general, they are a relatively evil monster, and even the same demons do not like to approach them.

However, in the past 100 years, I have rarely heard of the occurrence of drought fish, could it be that it appeared in Peishan and was dug out of the ground? !

This is indeed extremely unusual.

As he spoke, the caravan slowly drove past a clearing where weeds and dead trees had been cleared and a wooden altar had been erected, on which an old woman dressed as a witch seemed to be sacrificing, and under the altar a dozen men looked anxiously at the sky.

Their faces were yellow, thin, their hair was disheveled, and they seemed to have not eaten for a long time. As the caravan passed, they invariably looked back at the carriages containing the "goods", and saw the people in the carts with ruddy faces, and there was some longing in their eyes, as if a hungry dog had smelled the scent of bones.

But after all, they were just some defenseless ordinary people, and when they noticed the guards guarding with knives, they hesitated for a moment and did not choose the point of no return, but continued to look back at the sky, as if they were waiting for something.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that they still stood like sculptures, numb.

"What are they doing?" Qing Dai asked softly.

"I'm praying for forgiveness and help from the immortals." The maid replied, "An altar built by a simple common man like this is nothing more than this purpose. They felt that neither the wrath of the Dragon King nor the danger of the drought were irresistible to them mortals, and only the heavenly immortals could prevent this catastrophe. ”

"But although such altars were seen every few days, and at first they were held in the city, but after the government drove people out, most of the people chose to continue to do it secretly outside the city. But it's still useless. ”

The maid's face also has a sad look that can't be dissolved, after all, even if she comes back with a full load of food now, how long can she actually last? As long as this famine continues, sooner or later it will become a land of ruins that no one can live in.

No one who was born or raised here could not bear to see such a cruel scene.

When the caravan approached the city gate, it could be seen that a group of people were already walking quickly not far away, and it was the Wen family who had already received the news and rushed to meet them.

Needless to say, the words of joy and relief here, the point is that after learning that the caravan was a great success and that it was really full of food, the faces of everyone in the Wen family couldn't help but be filled with happy smiles.

As long as there is food, then maybe Peishan's disaster this time can be overcome!

"Bingyan, it's all hard work for you this time!"

Wen Gonghu, who is also the head of the Wen family and Wen Bingyan's biological father, looked at the cart full of grain with the support of the concubine on the side, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, turned to look at Wen Bingyan, and sighed.

"It's a pity that my body is ......," he said, patting his thigh hard, quite angry.

Wen Bingyan hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Daddy doesn't have to be so outside, since I am the child of the Wen family, these things are within my responsibility." Daddy is not in good health, so he should rest more, so that we can manage our Wen family well. ”

After a pause, she hesitated and said, "But Daddy, there is another important thing that needs to be discussed with you, which is about more food in the future." ”

She had to talk to her family about the ghost town, whether it was for the so-called immortals or the food, this matter had to be supported.

"More food?" Wen Gonghu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, he thought that it was already excellent to be able to buy a batch to relieve a momentary urgency, but now it seems that it is far more than that!

However, seeing her daughter's solemn appearance, she guessed that there were some inhumane experiences in it, so she nodded with a deep groan: "It's okay, let's go back and talk about it in detail." ”

Then he hugged his fists and saluted the many guards who escorted the caravan on this trip: "You heroes have worked hard along the way, if you don't dislike it, please come to my Wen's house to rest and rest, and wait for the rectification to be completed later, and there are some thin gifts that are not respectful, please laugh!" ”

He vaguely heard about his daughter's thrilling experience before, so he was also a little grateful to these people.

After the caravan came to Wenfu for a temporary rest, Wen Bingyan and his father came to the study to discuss the matter.

"Daddy, you must be wondering where I got such a large amount of food!" Straight to the point, she said.
