It takes about ten days to get from Banan to Anseong, so after finding a little direction, I flew towards Anseong.

Along the way, Jiang Yunhe sat on the bow of the boat, and he could see the birds of prey flying around from time to time, and occasionally he could see monks standing or sitting on magic weapons and spirit beasts.

You can also see the majestic mountains below, the vast plains, the ocean-like lakes, and the breathtaking Chirichi Ground......

Thousands of miles of red land?

It was the fourth day after everyone set out, and soon after spending most of the day crossing a huge lake, Jiang Yunhe saw that the dry earth began to appear below, as if it had come from the ocean to the desert at once, but there were dry and cracked land and barren villages everywhere below.

"What's wrong here?" Jiang Yunhe remembered that this place was not far from the lake like an inland sea, a distance of thousands of miles, which could be said to be a moat for ordinary people, but it shouldn't dry up to this extent.

The height of the paper boat has dropped slightly, and I can see it more clearly, and I can even see the dead corpses on the side of the road, and the clothes on them are still there, obviously the drought here has not been too long.

"Is that the case here?"

"I came here once three years, and it wasn't like that, how could it be?" he said with a sad face.

"Could it be a drought?" Xin Haoqing, who was like a weak scholar, looked down and slapped his palm with a fan and wondered.

"The drought has not been seen for thousands of years, and it is impossible for it to appear suddenly. The two-meter-tall, tall and sturdy Yang Bo categorically vetoed.

There were only parched earth and abandoned villages along the way, the fields were all dried up, and the plants were all dead, as if the place was dead.

After flying for another half an hour, Jiang Yunhe suddenly slowed down, "There are people down there." ”

I saw an earthen platform below, and seven or eight people were worshipping.

"It's supposed to be asking for rain. However, the air here is dry, there is not a trace of water, and there is no rain at all. ”

When the paper boat was lowered, I saw that the seven or eight people below were all old-looking, and their clothes were shabby and dirty.

"It's the Immortal Chief, and I ask the Immortal Elder to save us. As soon as the people below saw the paper boat falling, they turned around and knelt down and kowtowed, one by one hunched and skinny.

"Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, Help. The voices of the other people were almost moaning, and it took them a lot of effort to turn around and kneel.

The breath is faint and unpresentable.

"Are you from this neighborhood, what about the others?" Xiang Zhi's face became even more sad when he saw these people.

"Immortal Chief, I'm from this Lin Family Village, they escaped from other places. An old man kowtowed a few times on the ground and said with a trembling voice.

"Get up and talk first, don't kneel there. Jiang Yunhe frowned, he didn't know how others were, anyway, he wasn't used to this kind of scene.

If someone knelt down in front of him, he would feel uncomfortable all over, let alone these old men.

"Everyone else is gone, they can't live if they don't go, they all have to die here, and I don't know if they get out alive...... Originally, there were a few more people, and they have all died in the past few days, and only a few of us are left who are not dead. ”

"Immortal Chief, save us, the only well can't squeeze out of the mud. The other old man tried to kneel again.

"Stand and talk, or sit and talk. Jiang Yunhe's face was pale, and his heart was also a little sour, this was really unable to live. If you hadn't passed by today, none of the people in front of you would have survived the day after tomorrow.

Throw over a bag of water.

"Drink it first, and then tell me what the hell is going on. ”

When the old man in Linjia Village drank water, Jiang Yunhe could see the light and desire in the eyes of several other people, which made him even more uncomfortable and irritable.

Turning his head to look into the distance, he couldn't bear to look at it again.

There were seven people in total, and when he glanced at it just now, three of them could be said to be dead.

Even if you drink water, you won't survive.

Sure enough, as he thought, after the seven people drank the water, three old men lay there quietly, gradually losing their breath, with a hint of satisfaction on their faces.

Later, with the narration of the old man surnamed Lin, several people finally knew the general course of the matter.

There are more than 100 people in Linjia Village, and it can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, and the ancestors have been here for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as peace.

However, since three months ago, there has not been a drop of rain, the rivers have dried up, the wells have dried up, and all the crops have died.

The younger ones, while they still had a breath, all left, leaving only a few older clan elders leaning on a half-dry well.

Later, some people fled from other places one after another, and those who could walk were all gone, leaving only a few who could not walk here.

Later, the half-dry well also dried up, and the rest of the people barely survived by digging the mud, relying on the little water in the mud and some small shrimp in the mud.

The mud of the well was dug down more than a meter by several of them who were trembling when they walked, and such a tragic situation made Jiang Yunhe's heart blocked.

When I was in school, I also saw countless records of famine or drought in which year and month there was, picking tree bark, eating Guanyin soil, changing children and eating, and starving. But what you see in books is just words and numbers, and where can you compare to one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes.

"This place should belong to the Nulong River, under the jurisdiction of the Nulong River Water Monarch, thousands of miles of red land, countless casualties, this Nulong River Water Monarch really deserves to die. Yang Bo stomped his foot hard.

"Angry Dragon River Water Monarch?"

"The Water Monarch of the Nulong River took over the Water Monarch Seal three thousand years ago, and was in charge of the clouds and rain in a radius of thousands of miles. Such a miserable situation here has nothing to do with Him. Pei Yin, who had been silent, said.

"In addition to the water and rain here, it is also under the control of the imperial court, and I would like to know what the local government is doing to indulge it in causing such a tragedy. ”

"This place should belong to Daoxi County, and more than 8,000 miles to the northeast is its county seat Jiangpu. ”

"Let's go, then. Jiang Yunhe decided to go to Di Dao to inquire what the situation was.

"Senior Brother Jiang, these people, what should I do?" Xin Haoqing looked at Jiang Yunhe with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Take it with you, find a suitable place and put it down. Jiang Yunhe waved his hand, in a very bad mood.

In the end, I didn't understand what was going on here to become like this.

Bringing a few old men who still had their breath left onto the paper boat, Jiang Yunhe walked around again, but did not find any survivors.

If it weren't for the luck of these people, there was a well that dried up slowly, and he would have died a long time ago, how could he wait until now?

After a long delay, everyone moved forward again, and saw more dry bones along the way.

Many of those who fled died on the road.

Gradually, two hours later, I saw the fleeing people struggling to move forward.

Jiang Yunhe hesitated for a moment, but instead of going down, he accelerated forward.

How many people can be saved by this boat? On the contrary, it is better to arrive at Jiangpu City as soon as possible, and maybe a few more people can be saved.

Fortunately, there is still a little bit of green here, and these people should be able to hold on for a while.

After another two hours, I saw the dark clouds in front of me, the torrential rain continued, and the earth was a vast ocean, and thousands of fish, shrimp and monsters stood on the waves.

And in the midst of this ocean is a great city, which firmly blocks the ocean from the city.

Seeing that the water on the ground was still more than ten meters away, it was level with the city wall.

You must know that the walls of the capital city are all fifty meters high, let alone the city walls of this county city.

When several people on the boat saw this scene, their faces changed.

"Is this the Angry Dragon River Water Monarch attacking Jiangpu City? Is he crazy?" Xu Haoqing and Yang Bo's faces were full of incredulity.
