"Money is like an egg; if you manage it properly, you'll always make money."

"Moreover, I was born into a lowly family, so I naturally know the hardships of ordinary people. It is only natural for me to give back a little."

"And Daoist Master, are you really sure that nothing will happen today?"

Blind Calculator looked at Dao Chengyi's smile and sensed a calculating intent in it, but recalling that his own death was not now and there was no sign of a flood or torrential rain, he nodded in agreement.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, there was no rain today, and the river channel has been successfully completed. It's an excellent outcome!"

Following the blind fortune teller's words, the Qingmang people who were digging the river channel worked extremely hard, and Zhao Tiedan, whose hexagram had been determined by the blind fortune teller to be Dui, also looked towards the mountain viewing platform.

He grinned foolishly at the spot, knowing that Master Daocheng was there, and he had to do a good job today! Therefore, Zhao Tiedan dug even harder.

With each thud, the sound of hoes seemed to echo the roar of the surging river. And so, before everyone's eyes, the ant-like Qingmang people launched their final assault on nature.

But at that moment, the once clear sky suddenly became clouded for some unknown reason, and then, amidst the churning dark clouds, a drop of rain fell from the sky.

The rain fell squarely onto Zhao Tiedan's sweaty hands, and the sudden chill startled him. He looked up at the sky, and at that moment, even denser rain began to fall, forming lines, patches, and curtains, soon covering the sky in a continuous white haze.

"roar!!!"

At that very moment, two furious roars rang out almost simultaneously from the Linghe River and the Yuehe River, which were originally located near the site selection location.

Then, accompanied by the torrential rain and the dark shadows churning in the riverbed, the massive river water surged into a giant wave, leaping over the earthen barrier that was only a few meters away from being completely completed, awaiting only the explosion of explosives.

"...The divination is inaccurate..."

Looking at the massive wave that was almost crashing down on him, carrying mud, sand, rocks, and driftwood, Zhao Tiedan's final thought was just that.

Then the last thing he saw was a pale white spider that spun a thin thread of silk onto him.

Wang Xiaogou, a native of Qingmang in Cangjing Prefecture, Louzhou, lived to be 50 years old. He was born in the second month of the 438th year of the Xin constellation and died in the sixth month of the 488th year of the Xin constellation. Cause of death: Hongze...

Zhao Tiedan, a native of Qingmang in Cangjing Prefecture, Louzhou, lived to the age of 43. He was born in July of the 445th year of the Xin constellation and died in June of the 488th year of the Xin constellation. Cause of death: Hongze...

Hongze...

Yes... the water from the breached dam, the water from the torrential rain, that's what we call a flood.

Zhao Tiedan looked at the observation deck one last time, and the regret in his heart was... it seemed that this debt of gratitude could never be repaid.

"In my next life, I'll definitely be your ox or your horse!"

A giant wave swept in, silencing all voices, and the powerful current swept Zhao Tiedan and others who were nearby into the water.

Then, a long, wide-headed, and fat giant, resembling a catfish, smashed through the barrier that should have been the last line of defense, and, along with the thousands of tons of water, greedily opened its mouth and swam towards the people still working inside.

On the mountain, Daocheng sipped his tea, his expression unchanged.

What do the lives of these three thousand people have to do with him?
