Chapter 63: Food Falls from Heaven

Anle County, Lingzhou.

Early in the morning, Liu Yuanfeng, the county guard, summoned the officers to clean up the official warehouse of the county government, and the action was fanfare, which attracted the attention of many people in the county.

Along with them, the other two largest warehouses in the city were also sorted out and cleaned up, as if they were going to be of great use.

In front of each warehouse, an altar was erected for the table.

The incense that was lit emitted smoke, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere spread along with the fragrance and disappeared with the long street.

Not to mention the errands and guards guarding the surroundings, even the streets and the people not far from the city also gathered one after another, many old and weak supported each other, most of them were yellow and thin, and they looked weak when they walked.

But more importantly, everyone's face is gray, and there is no light in sight.

"What is Liu Junshou doing?" People looked at this situation and turned their heads to ear, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty called officials by name and position, and most of the officials also called themselves their own officials or so-and-so.

"Don't you want to pray to the gods and pray to God to let this calamity pass quickly?"

A middle-aged businessman who lived near the yamen and had received a lot of news from the errand officer looked left and right, and then whispered, "Have you ever heard that our Lingzhou state assassin history and supervision history are dead. ”

"What, how did you die, and when?" The shocking news immediately attracted everyone to look at it.

The middle-aged businessman put his hand in his sleeve and said with some excitement: "On the fiftieth birthday of that dog official Qian Wen, we are all dying of hunger, and this dog official is still feasting guests, drinking and having fun, they are drinking our blood and eating our meat." ”

But they didn't expect that retribution was coming, and their evil deeds angered the gods in heaven. ”

The middle-aged businessman recounted the scene at that time in detail: "In the end, the supervising Shi Xu Xuanming fell apart, and there was no corpse, and the Qian Dog official was scared to death. ”

Everyone around couldn't help but clap their hands and say, "Okay!

"It's really exciting!"

"This dog officer is damned!"

"Why didn't the immortals kill all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

A scholar said: "You can't say that, we still have a good official like Liu Junshou, and if we kill all the officials, Lingzhou will be completely chaotic." ”

People looked at the county guard who knelt down and prayed in front of the altar of the offering table again: "Is there really a god descending to earth? No wonder Liu County guard wants to worship the gods, let's go over and worship!"

"Yes, yes, everyone go over and worship, when will this drought and locust plague be a head!"

People moved closer to each other, and more and more people gathered.

Liu Yuanfeng, the county guard of Anle County, finally finished the incense one by one at this time, and also knelt down three times and finished his wish before getting up.

Seeing the people in the city who were approaching around him, as well as the nervous servants and guards, he waved his sleeves: "Don't panic, let the people come over." ”

Liu Yuanfeng knew that at this time, the people of the entire Anle County not only needed food, but also hope.

At this time, there is no hope, and it can be more exciting than the immortals going down to earth to save the people and drive away the calamities.

Even the imperial court.

As the crowd swarmed in, before arriving at the official warehouse, Liu Yuanfeng's surroundings and the entire street were already full of people.

Liu Junshou stood in front of the gate of the official warehouse, the offering table behind him was still burning with wisps of smoke, his eyes swept over the people under his rule, and he didn't know why he remembered the scene in the Lechuan River he saw last night.

He took a deep breath before continuing: "Since the beginning of last autumn, there has not been a drop of rain in my Anle County, and in the spring of this year, there has been another locust plague, and every household has no surplus food, and this official also knows that everyone is waiting for me, waiting for the relief food from the imperial court. ”

"But the official is incompetent, and there is no way to bring back food for everyone. ”

Just when everyone was silent, Liu Yuanfeng's voice changed: "But fortunately, an immortal was enlightened by the official yesterday, and the immortal told the official." ”

"At noon today, when the barns are full of rice and grain. Liu Yuanfeng shouted this sentence with all his strength at the top of his voice, and the voice was transmitted directly from this end to the end of the alley.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and then all kinds of sounds erupted.

"What?"

"Did I hear me right?"

"What does Liu Junshou mean when he says this, the immortals are going to send us food?"

"Is this true?"

"Can what the gods say be false? Can what the county guard say be false? It must be true. The man danced with joy like a child.

"I'm going to hurry over and tell my mother the news, and ask her to come and see the fairy. ”

If others say it, everyone will still be suspicious.

But the dignified county guard, in the name of the gods, still has great credibility to say such things.

Since ancient times, there have been various myths and legends on the land of the Central Plains, among which it is not uncommon for immortals to dream or go down to earth to point out scholars and officials.

Not to mention, someone just learned that yesterday there were immortals who came down to earth to punish the two most notorious corrupt officials in Lingzhou, which made the words of the county guard Liu Yuanfeng a little more credible.

As noon drew nearer, more and more people walked out of their homes and gathered near the county office.

The scorching sun shone on the body, and some people stood for two full hours, not feeling tired, still looking up at the sky from time to time, wanting to be the first to see the appearance of the gods.

Whether men, women, young and old, dignitaries or ordinary people, they are all eager for everything to come true at this moment.

As soon as noon came, the sun was shining down on the sky, shining through the open skylight at the top of the warehouse.

However, along with the sun falling from the clouds, there was also a gushing grain flow.

It fell from a high place, penetrated the top of the official warehouse, and continued to pour into the official warehouse, and the sound of the rattling was like a rushing river.

A mountain of rice quickly piled up in the official warehouse.

"It's rice, it's grain. An old man knelt directly on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Lots and lots of food. "I don't know how many people cheered.

"There's really food delivered. "The grain seems to have come out of thin air and fell from the sky, and the vast power of this immortal and the way the grain appeared made many people who were skeptical before completely stunned.

"It was sent from heaven by the immortals, and it was the food that the immortals conjured up to give us. ”

Seeing this miraculous scene, all the people knelt down and bowed to the grain and official warehouses that were flowing down from the sky, and even more to the invisible gods in the sky.

"Thank the gods, the gods are merciful!"

"The gods bless us Anle County and bless the people of Lingzhou. ”

"It's really a god who saves the suffering, my old woman has lived a lifetime, and it's the first time I've seen such a scene. An old woman was supported by her son and stood outside, wiping away tears.

Waterfall-like grain poured down from the sky, and the cries that shook the mountains and rivers rang out in unison, and people shouted for the blessings of the immortals and thanked the immortals.

The white grain emitted a dazzling light under the refraction of the sun, reflected in the eyes of the people of Anle County, and transformed into the color of hope.

Not only in the official warehouse, but also in the other two warehouses, there are also bags of rice and noodles piled up.

The cheers from inside the city also reached the outside of the city.

The victims of the shantytowns built outside the city raised their heads and looked into the city.

Not long after, the gates opened, and cartloads of grain were shipped out of the city.

The porridge shed rekindled the fire and the aroma of porridge.

"This is the food given by the immortals, and the immortals have come down to help the people of Lingzhou expel the drought. ”

The servants of the soup kitchen and the people of the city had to say it again every time they scooped up a bowl of porridge.

Deliver hope to everyone.

————

In the corner of the city wall, the immortal in people's mouths is sitting on a high place, looking at the porridge shed where the soup is being served.

The whole dead city is back in operation.

It was as if a flame had been rekindled from the ashes.

The order that had been lost due to the catastrophe has returned to the earth.

The county soldiers began to eliminate the bandits, the counties began to appease the people with disaster relief food, caravans from the state capital began to arrive, and the closed shops on the streets were opened.

Anrak County is the hardest hit area, and it can be said that as long as Anrak County is stabilized, the disaster situation will be half stabilized this time.

The donkey general looked at the grain, his eyes were piercing, his heart ached terribly, and his breathing was so rapid that his nose kept spewing white gas.

It originally planned to go back later and move all those treasures home, and it had long regarded the treasures of the underground treasure house in Jiangzhou as something in its pocket.

"Ah! my gold-inlaid white marble bed. ”

"Ahh ”

"And my golden taels and luxurious life, all gone......"

The donkey general couldn't bear to look at it any longer, and the whole donkey was already limp in the corner, and his eyes had lost the color of his dreams.

The green dragon sword shuttled out, and the boy sat on the sword and stood behind the empty dust.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?"

"The urgent need has been solved. ”

"It is to cut off the root of the disease. ”

The empty dust grabbed a locust, and the ordinary locust flapped its wings in its slender fingers, making a buzzing sound.

The eyes of the immortal seemed to penetrate the appearance of the locust and see inside.

"There are some locusts in this. ”

"It's not easy. ”
