Chapter 728 Comfort Well
Chapter 728 Comfort Well
"The river god is angry!"
"Escape, escape!"
"Chen Yi, forget about the boat, just run!"
"Boy, do you want to die?"
The waves crashed onto the pier and the fishermen in Yixing Town fled in panic. Some wanted to tie their boats tighter to avoid being washed away, but were forcibly pulled back. Looking at their boats drifting unsteadily and the huge waves on the river, their courage was drained away like a punctured fish bladder and they turned around to run for their lives.
Bang bang bang!
Every household closed their doors and windows and bolted their doors.
The wind howled like a wild beast, the wind and rain blew, and tiles fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The entire Jianghuai Lake was shaking, and the waves collided in the air into foam.
The giant monster in the water dug through the mud and sand and went into the cave, fearing that the fish in the pond would be harmed.
Jiangchuan County.
The mermaids huddled together in the canyon, huddling for comfort.
Quan Linghan surfaced, looked at the intertwining figures in the sky, and clenched his fists nervously.
Why did the fight start?
Leng Peilin, the head of the Leng tribe, was sweating profusely and looked terrified: "Brother Quan, it is true that the mermaids and humans in Jiangchuan County live in harmony, but your demon king is restless!"
Quan Ling was silent.
In order to repay Liang Qu for the dividends from the Jiaoxiao, he went to great lengths to finally invite the chief of the Leng clan to live in Jianghuai for a while to help him make a decision on relocation. Unexpectedly, Dashun's attitude was revealed, and he encountered such a situation when he was about to succeed.
"This is not a common occurrence. Moreover, the demon king seems close but is actually far away, so he can't reach us..."
A big wave came.
Leng Peilin dodged and didn't believe it at all: "We lived together for half a month, how could it be such a coincidence that I caught up with him?"
Quan Linghan was embarrassed: "It's really such a coincidence. My clan has lived for nearly a year and has not encountered one. Normally, the Jianghuai Demon King does not move much..."
"Don't mention it again. Let's wait for two days before discussing the relocation!"
"Eh……"
There was a heavy storm outside the courtyard, but inside Liang's house it was calm and the mist rising from the hot spring did not sway at all.
The big beaver stretched out its claws, stroked its fur backwards, grabbed the towel, turned over, and half of its back floated on the water. Long Yao and Long Li wrapped themselves in bath towels, leaned out of the wooden window and poked it with branches. The big beaver scratched its butt and floated to the next wooden house.
"Why are you coming from the south?"
Long Pingjiang looked up at the night sky, his pupils illuminated by lightning.
Beiyu went to Dragon Palace, but was intercepted by Frog King and Turtle King. The middle route was 18,000 miles away from Pingyang Prefecture. The battle between the three demon kings spanned half of the Yangtze and Huaihe River regions?
"Maybe it was intentional."
Liang Qu guessed.
If the Martial Saint and the Dragon cannot fight, then the Northern Fish, Southern Frog, and Western Turtle will definitely fight.
The northern fish was to be shown to the dragon to indicate that there was a reason for not coming; the southern frog and western turtle were to be shown to Dashun to indicate that the benefits were not given in vain.
They hit it off immediately and decided that the bigger the noise, the better, and it would be best if the whole Pingyang Prefecture could see it clearly.
"Thanks to the elder's foresight, he summoned wind and rain to drive the fishermen ashore, otherwise it would be dangerous." Long Binglin exclaimed.
"Let's prepare for a rainy day."
Long Binglin's reverence comes from the heart.
Flood dragons, white apes, ghost mothers, sea merchants, martial saints at sea... Obviously, all causes and consequences were caused by Liang Qu, but when things broke out, they seemed to be in the eye of a hurricane, quiet and peaceful.
All the events seemed to be coincidental, but Liang Qu firmly grasped the tangled threads, waiting for the wind to stop and the rain to stop, and then catch the big fish that was caught.
Bang bang bang.
The door knocker rang.
"Master Liang!"
"Mr. Chen?"
Liang Qu heard the way, jumped out of the pool, grabbed Long Lingxiao and left the pond.
Outside the hall.
The wet straw raincoat was draped on the rack, and the water droplets formed thin lines, forming a small puddle.
"Mr. Chen, please come and sit down. It's raining so hard outside. Why are you here in the rain to look for me? It's so dangerous. Come on, make me a cup of hot tea!"
Chen Zhaoan put down his hat, let Fan Xinglai help him sit down, and took two deep breaths.
"No need for hot tea, Lord Liang. You should have seen what's going on outside. It may be some kind of fight between some great monsters. I have lived in Yixing Town all my life and don't understand the ins and outs of this. But the waves at the pier have washed the fish ashore. It's very scary.
You only said that you would postpone the River God Festival on June 6, but you didn't say when to postpone it. The villagers are unsure. After what happened today, if time goes on, I'm afraid rumors of disaster will spread."
"Someone blames me?" Liang Qu's decision to postpone the river god sacrifice was not a spur of the moment decision.
The main worry is that if he steals another wave of dragons before "picking trouble", the time interval will be too short, which will stimulate the opponent's rebellious psychology, and the confrontation will turn into a real fight, and a real fight is bound to result in bloodshed.
When things get out of hand, good things turn into bad things.
However, after the delay, the river god became angry, which did easily trigger the villagers' associations.
"No, if the villagers want to blame someone, they should blame me. I just want to ask for clarification so that the villagers can have an idea in their minds and not be worried all day long."
Chen Zhaoan is not stupid. It is true that Liang Qu himself postponed the River God Sacrifice, but the reason he gave to the villagers was that the annual main sacrifice cannot be easily changed. Therefore, in order to wait for Liang Qu's injury to heal, "he" took the initiative to postpone the River God Sacrifice.
"We will do it. The River God Festival is the root of the Yixing people. We must do it." Liang Qu stood up and looked outside. "Before tonight, if Mr. Chen came to look for me, I might not be able to give him an answer."
Chen Zhaoan understood the hidden meaning: "When will it be held? I will go and prepare it right away."
"Tomorrow at noon!"
Liang Qu grinned.
"Since the river god is angry, we, the fishermen in the water village, must naturally appease him."
……
The next day.
The sky is clear and the morning sun is warm.
A wild cat jumped onto the roof with a small fish in its mouth. Officials from the government office carried wooden buckets and gongs, smeared paste on the walls, and posted the curfew time for this year's Binghuo day to warn the villagers nearby.
After a night of heavy rain, the June morning was not too hot and even a bit cool with the river breeze.
However, upon closer inspection, the piers along the coast of Pingyang Prefecture were in a mess, with dense foam filling the gaps between bricks and stones.
The shriveled dead fish was strangled by the algae. In just a moment, flies covered its body. You could not smell it from a distance, but the stench was overwhelming when you got close.
"One, two, three, get up!"
The calls were uniform.
The Shangrao wharf was full of fishermen who worked in groups of two or three to salvage the sunken ships and drag them ashore to dry in the sun.
"Hey, this one isn't broken! It's still good!"
"How bizarre!"
"Everyone's boat is still here. It must be the blessing of the river god!"
There were huge waves last night and many small fishing boats were swept into the water. Fortunately, they were tied with ropes and were fished out this morning without much damage. It was so miraculous that the anger of the river god suddenly turned into blessing from the river god, and we were filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
"Anyone free? Come with me to the Drum Tower to move the big drum!"
Chen Zhaoan’s grandson Chen Tongmin stood on the shore and waved to the young men in the water.
The villagers in Shuili straightened up and said, "Brother Min, why are you moving the drums? Are we going to celebrate a big festival today?"
"Ha, you guessed it right. Sir Liang has recovered from his illness. Let's offer sacrifices to the river god today!"
Worship the river god!
The young and strong people suddenly became enthusiastic and rushed to get ashore.
"I come!"
"Oh my gosh! Mo, don't fight with me!"
"We are under the protection of the river god, so we must be very grateful!"
"Yes! Thank you very much!"
……
Jianghuai Dragon Palace.
The coral tree is in full bloom, with bright orange light.
The green snake and the blood-red snake pushed open the door of the treasure house and selected suitable treasures.
Seeing the blood-red snake wrapped around a precious lotus, the blue snake flicked its tail to stop it: "The king said that this matter is all related to the white ape, and it will definitely get a share of the spoils later. No water-attributed precious plants can be given to it."
The blood-red snake was silent: "Eighty percent of the treasures in the Dragon Palace are of the water attribute. If we don't give them water attributes, the overall value will probably be higher. Even so?"
Precious medicines can be divided into good and bad.
Even if the human race has raised the level division, there are still differences in the same level. Naturally, you have to pick the ones that block the line, but it will be difficult to get them together without the water attribute.
"The king said that he would exchange with the demon king next to him. In any case, the benefits must not be taken by the white ape."
The generals under Jiaolong had no objection to his orders.
The blood-red snake put Bao Lian down and walked inside.
