Chapter Seventy-Three: Disaster Goes to Blessing
The locust plague in Lingzhou was wiped out, and the news that the drought had been solved immediately spread to the adjacent Yunbi County and nearby counties.
"County Zun! Look at it, this is news from Lingzhou, as well as documents sent by the imperial court. ”
Yunbi County Office, the staff master hurriedly broke into the hall with a document, and hurriedly reported the good news to Zheng Qi, the county magistrate of Yunbi County, who was sad inside.
Although the victims were scattered to many places, the imperial court also allowed the counties to open warehouses to release grain, and the prefectures and counties arranged a lot of disaster relief measures, but the victims were still a major pressure.
The master raised his hand high, walked up to the county commander with his eyebrows fluttering and said, "The drought and locust plague in Lingzhou have been solved. ”
The county magistrate of Yunbi County immediately raised his head and asked, "What? What the hell is going on?"
The master handed over the documents and the scroll of paper: "Although it is not detailed in the court documents, the news from Lingzhou can be made in detail, it is the immortals who took away the locust god, and this Lingzhou drought is really a locust god put down in the sky, and the whole Lingzhou does not know how many people have seen the locust god and the immortal fighting in the sky." ”
"It is said that at that time, the locust god controlled the flying locusts that covered the sky with no five fingers, and the divine fire released by the immortals burned the sky red, and the black ash turned into locusts was like snow, covering the entire Lingzhou City. ”
"I've read books for half my life, and I don't know how many strange things I have seen, but today I know that this god is not an empty word. ”
The master sighed inexplicably, and was in awe of the sky and the darkness above his head.
With a sense of reverence and knowing that good and evil are rewarded, people will have a sense of proportion.
Zheng Qi, the county magistrate, also remembered what happened in Yunbi County before, and said with a smile: "When I was a teenager, when I read the fairy script, I also imagined traveling with the gods and being a chic and unrestrained outsider. ”
"But now that I've figured it out, even if I really learn immortal arts, I'm just a layman, and compared to this kind of immortal's popularity, it's a world of difference. ”
Carefully read the documents and paper scrolls that the master brought over, especially the part on the paper scroll that drove away the locust god and attracted wind and rain.
At the end of the reading, when the rain was blowing and the rain was pouring down, I couldn't help but slap the table.
"Okay, good! Sure enough, he is a true immortal in the world. ”
"The locust god, the drought, the thunder is thousands of miles, the wind and the rain are called, and the people of Lingzhou cheer in the rain, competing to run and have a happy face. ”
"It's really good!"
"Go and bring me wine, this county will have a few drinks. ”
As soon as he picked up the wine glass, the county magistrate of Yunbi County immediately remembered something, put the wine glass down again, and said arrangedly.
"Post a notice immediately to inform all the victims of this incident!"
"Tell them that the local government in Lingzhou has begun to provide relief to the victims, and now when they go back, their fields are still theirs, and the imperial court and the government will also arrange replanting and distribution of farm tools......
Although there is now some news of the arrival of people in the city, and the number of people fleeing from the north is decreasing, there are almost no cases of them recently.
It also faintly corroborates this matter, but the rumors are not as convincing and effective as a piece of paper and the notices posted by the government.
As soon as the notice was posted outside the city, there were immediately a lot of shouts and tears of joy.
"The drought is over, it rains heavily in Lingzhou, the locust plague is gone, and we have a way to live. "The literate stood under the city walls, shouting and shouting, and read out the notices word by word, and read them out loud again and again, and did not get tired of them.
"Do you want to go back?" everyone was ecstatic, but there was also a little worry.
"Of course I went back, I still have a few acres of land at home, and it's still too late to replant spring ploughing!" As soon as the man with the broken bowl turned his head excitedly, he wanted to tell his family the news.
"Is this true that the local government in Lingzhou is also providing disaster relief and distributing agricultural seeds and farm tools?" more people asked about the details of the people who posted the notices at the county government.
"Go back!"
If there is no way to live, no one is willing to give up their fields and leave their homes.
In the following days, a large number of people formed groups to return to Lingzhou and their hometowns according to the way they came, and the group of refugees gathered outside the city became increasingly scarce.
It's just that it's different from when I came, when I was full of despair and desolation, but when I returned, I was full of hope and hope.
The empty countryside of Lingzhou was refilled with the returning people.
In a village to the south, where Kongchen rode a donkey before.
A large group of refugees hurried back, and saw their own village from afar, and the river that had been dry was once again flowing down from the mountain, and the road was full of greenery and grass again.
They stepped on the water and shouted wildly, holding the water and scattering it non-stop.
"It's home!"
"It's home!"
A family came to their own courtyard, opened the bamboo door and immediately rushed in.
"Everything is still there! everything is still there!" The things that were originally neatly placed and reluctant to be thrown away were restored to their original intact and placed in their original positions.
The children at home opened the lid of the rice jar and suddenly found that it was full of a jar of rice.
"M!
The family looked at each other speechlessly, and they didn't understand where the rice came from.
When I asked, I found out that every household in this village had it, as if someone had a clever plan, and I already knew that they would come back at this time.
Although there is no trace of proof, everyone knows that there is no one else who can do such things except living immortals.
——————
A caravan of chariots and horses passed by the revitalized land of Lingzhou, and the flags planted on the cars were divided into two sides, with the words wind and rain written on them.
On the cart were grain seeds and seeds of various crops transported from Jiangzhou, as well as some farm tools and a small amount of oil, salt, tea and other things, to be transported to Lingzhou City.
The Fengyulou disciples who were escorting the car looked at the villagers who were replanting crops along the way, and some officials in the countryside were shouting on the ridges, and the order and law were reconstructed.
However, what these Fengyulou disciples were excited and excited about was not this, but the various legends they heard along the way.
"Have you heard? The locust god is as big as a mountain?" said the young swordsman who was driving the carriage when he found a free time.
"How did I hear that the sky was covered?
"How can I hear that it is the locusts that cover the sky, not the locust gods?" and someone else stood up to refute it.
"Anyway, it's amazing, why wasn't I there at the time, if I could see the sword of the immortal slaying the locust, maybe I would be able to comprehend the supreme sword technique, and even be appreciated by the immortals because of my talent? Then I was accepted as a disciple and stepped into the immortal gate!" a young disciple who had just started thought about it.
"I'm pretty good!" "All the people around him immediately spat on his face at the same time.
Dressed in a strong suit, with a knife straddling his waist, he rode in the middle of the convoy.
Thousands of miles came to disaster relief, on the one hand, because he felt that Jiangzhou was in need, for the sake of the morality of the rivers and lakes.
On the one hand, I am also looking forward to seeing the empty dust immortal again.
Even if it is to leave another impression in front of the Empty Dust Immortals, it is good.
It's just that when I arrived, I found that it was late.
The locust plague in Lingzhou has dissipated, the drought has been resolved, and there are legends about immortals slaying demons and eliminating demons and calling for wind and rain.
However, it is not without harvest, at least the Xianjiu Spring in Yunbi County has made Fengyusheng harvest a lot.
Even if so much time has passed, as long as you look at it quietly, it seems that you can see the sword that the immortal turned wine into a sword and left on the immortal spring again.
Wind and rain were born in front of Yunjun Pond and under the Xianjiu Spring for a few days before reluctantly leaving.
The caravan came to a village.
Many of the people who have returned from the fields are busy working, but the countryside is even more lively.
A group of people are beating gongs around a stone monument wrapped in red silk, and local officials are presiding, and it seems to be full of festive and joyful atmosphere.
"What are you doing here?" asked Feng Fengsheng, who was riding on his horse and looked down for someone.
The villagers immediately opened the conversation and chattered: "You are from out of town, right?
"Yes, does it have anything to do with this?" asked Feng Fengsheng.
The villagers kept nodding: "That's right, you don't know, the gods passed by our township before they went down to collect locust gods, and at that time, Tian Laohan in our township happened to meet the immortals, and invited the immortals to eat a bowl of water and a piece of cake." ”
"The immortals are grateful for the simplicity of our villagers, so they ......"
The villagers added oil and vinegar to the whole process, brought the legend to tell it again, and finally said proudly: "So the relief of drought and locust plague in Lingzhou is what our villagers begged for!"
"It stands to reason that the entire Lingzhou people should be grateful to Tian Laohan in our township. ”
Feng Fengsheng raised his head and looked towards the center of the crowd, and said silently.
"Drink a bowl of water, a piece of dry bread. ”
"The plague of locusts is gone, and it rains for thousands of miles. ”
In just two sentences, it made Fengyusheng have a long aftertaste, and finally sighed.
The old man in front of the stele wore a hat, and ripped off the red silk on the stele, revealing the three big characters of Yuxian Township.
shouted to his fellow villagers in a thick local accent: "In the future, our township will be called Yuxian Township, hahahaha." ”
"I didn't expect that Xiao Lao'er I have lived a lifetime, and I was able to meet a true immortal, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”
Behind him, the two sons who looked like they were not young, carrying the old man's gong, and smirking behind their father.
An official immediately stepped forward to support the old man and told the old man to be careful.
After the officials announced the name change again, they then told the villagers about various imperial decrees and the news of the imperial court's decision to exempt taxes, which caused a round of applause.
