Chapter 76: Are the gods exhausted?
The flood is over.
The people who passed the test returned to the city from the camp one after another.
A few who contracted the plague were temporarily treated in tents.
When the people returned home and saw their houses destroyed, they felt heartbroken!
But fortunately, the person is still alive.
I heard that the imperial court has provided subsidies again, and the building materials for every household will be provided by the court, and each household only needs to contribute manpower and labor.
They said they wanted to build a stronger house.
"What kind of special material is this? According to rumors, it was given by the gods."
"I don't know. I just know that the imperial court treats us well! We can build a house for our family, and after it's completed, we can get an additional material reward."
"Can you read blueprints? They say they're going to build them all the same."
“…”
Everyone was chatting while clearing away the silt and debris with shovels.
Suddenly, Brother Jiang drove a big bulldozer over. He heard the rumbling sound of the engine and the drive shaft, and I thought it was the ignition of gunpowder.
"Major General! What is this?"
Everyone only saw Brother Jiang using the bulldozer not very skillfully.
The big shovel in front was pressed on the ground and drove all the way. The road that was originally full of garbage was immediately cleared to create a clean open space.
Brother Jiang shouted to the people around him:
"Get out of the way! This thing is hard to control, be careful not to get hurt!"
It is no exaggeration to say that Xuzhou, which has been eroded by floods, is now a ruin.
How long will it take to clean this by hand?
So, just now on the city wall, Brother Jiang was the second one to express his wish.
I want a street cleaning machine.
The god agreed immediately.
Brother Jiang was so happy to see this big baby appear out of nowhere that he spent two hours looking at the instruction manual and the screen-projected teaching video.
Only now do I dare to drive over slowly.
“It’s working really well!”
Jiang Qingqing followed at a distance behind.
Because Jiang Yu had a problem with the test, she had forced him to stay in the clinic for treatment. Doctor Zhao said that he was in good health and should be able to recover in a few days.
This comforted Jiang Qingqing a lot.
After all, it was because of him that he contracted the plague.
Looking at the wood and shelves that were piled aside by the bulldozer, Jiang Qingqing instructed the soldiers, "Take these and burn them in the fields. They can also be used as fertilizer."
Fields flooded by heavy rain.
I wonder if I can still farm?
"Your Highness! Would you like some persimmons?"
Suddenly, a voice came from above my head.
Jiang Qingqing looked up and saw two little girls with pigtails climbing on a tall persimmon tree.
In his hand was a large bunch of persimmons with branches.
Bright red and frosty.
Very tempting.
Jiang Qingqing smiled and said, "Then give me two skewers. Thank you."
The little girl shyly handed the persimmon to Jiang Qingqing.
He whispered softly, almost inaudibly, "Happy Frost Descent Festival, Your Highness."
Jiang Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then took the persimmon and said, "Happy Frost Festival."
Glanced at the sky.
It's still a while before nightfall, but I'm already looking forward to it. I want to thank it.
Turn your head and look into the distance.
The people on the streets are becoming more energetic the more they work.
Because Brother Jiang said that there will be roasted pig tonight at the tent in the camp!
"We'll try to clean up the vacant lot in two days! We're getting ready to build a new house. Are you all happy?"
Brother Jiang was holding a big loudspeaker.
Livening up the atmosphere.
The people wiped the sweat from their foreheads and shouted in unison:
"happy!"
Brother Jiang: "There will be plenty of wine and meat tonight. Work hard now and eat hard tonight!"
Everyone raised their shovels significantly faster.
But the mouth did not stop.
"Okay, Major General."
"There's still a cart of garbage that hasn't been cleared away. Hurry up, there's no more carriage to load it."
"You're using the shovel incorrectly. Let me teach you! You should use it this way to save effort. Got it?"
"Major General, you're so generous! I haven't drunk alcohol in a long time."
“…”
Having experienced the rainstorm together, it is the rope in the hearts of the people.
It seems to be tightened a little.
Jiang Qingqing sat aside, watching everyone working so enthusiastically, and felt warm in her heart. Even if there were ruins before her, there would surely be houses rising from the ground.
Governor's Mansion
Jiang's mother and several sisters-in-law took a few long tables and wooden benches and placed them at the entrance of the house.
Just wait for the soldiers to come and register with the medicinal herbs they found.
In a short while.
The first person who came up asked, "Do I have enough to exchange for two things?"
The medicine boy took the herbs and examined them carefully.
He confirmed, "It's the herb the god requested, and it's of a very good age. It should meet the criteria for the two wishes on the paper."
Second sister-in-law nodded.
He took the herbs and put them away, then recorded the names of the soldiers.
Some asked curiously, "What do you want two wishes for?"
The soldier scratched his head embarrassedly, with sadness in his eyes.
"Madam Major General, I have a brother, but he was crippled in the battle of Yingzhou not long ago. These two things are for him."
The second sister-in-law's eyes dimmed and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, what do you want?"
“I want a wheelchair and crutches!”
The soldiers immediately responded.
He learned from Jiang Yu two days ago that the gods actually have something that can help people stand up.
There are even chairs that move around on their own.
If he had these two things, his brother would be able to move freely in the village.
Maybe even feed some rice to the chickens in the yard.
It’s no longer like today, where people are lifeless and can only lie in bed waiting to die.
Second sister-in-law nodded.
"Okay, I've registered. Come over tomorrow to claim your reward."
He ordered someone to fetch a basket of eggs from the mansion and handed it to the soldiers, saying, "Take it back to your brother to nourish him."
One after another.
More and more soldiers came to the governor's office to register medicinal materials.
Some lucky ones even filled a large bamboo basket with various medicinal herbs.
The third sister-in-law also joked:
"You took so many herbs by yourself, how much do you want to exchange for? I'm afraid there's not enough space in your house."
The soldiers placed the bamboo basket on the long table.
Very atmospheric and authentic:
"Not much! Just the same! I use these to honor the gods."
"The ones behind them are even more exaggerated."
No matter how many herbs you pick, it will only take half an hour.
He was not greedy, he just thought that if the gods needed it, he would pick more and bring it over.
Later, some of them even ran to the edge of the cliff, saying that the medicinal herbs there were the most spiritual, and their efficacy and age were the most valuable.
Everyone wants to offer the best to the gods.
"Okay, I'll help you register after the medicine boy finishes the classification and inspection."
The third sister-in-law brought a bottle of mineral water to the soldiers.
It was very hot after the rainstorm, and it was really dry.
This is the first time I see Frost Descent, and it’s so hot.
Jiang Qingqing returned to the governor's mansion in the moonlight. Looking at the piles of sorted medicinal herbs on the long table, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
The registered names alone filled up dozens of pages.
Are you trying to tire the gods to death?
