"Go away, get out of here right now!"
"Who sent you here?"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong led their cavalry escorts, driving away the fleeing civilians.
Jiang Tian stood up gently and whispered a few words in Shangguan Wan'er's ear.
The girl's face turned red instantly.
Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked towards the carriage, turning back every few steps.
Jiang Tian walked up to these people.
These people were so hungry that their eyes were blurred.
As soon as they saw Jiang Tian coming over, they knew that he must be the highest-ranking person present.
With a thud, someone immediately knelt down.
More and more people knelt down, and thousands of people knelt in a dark mass.
"Get up, all of you. Where are you going in this desolate wilderness?" Jiang Tian asked loudly.
"Sir, we have no way to survive here. We've heard that a deity has appeared in Jizhou."
“The man had food and drink, so we thought we’d go there and give it a try.”
"We will be able to survive as long as we get to Jizhou."
Along the way, Jiang Tian saw many people heading north.
It's estimated that these people all want to try their luck in Jizhou.
"Sir, we are desperate and have nowhere else to go. All we want now is some food. Please give us some food so we can hold on until we reach Jizhou."
"Sir, we are extremely grateful to you."
Instead of getting up, the people kowtowed heavily to Jiang Tian several times.
These people were heading towards Jizhou, and almost all of them died along the way.
Bandits, rioters, venomous snakes, and ferocious beasts on the road... any one of them could take their lives.
Most importantly, they lack food and water.
It's impossible for these people to reach Jizhou without even a centimeter of water or a drop of water.
"You don't need to go to Jizhou. Go back to where you came from."
Everyone panicked when Jiang Tian said this.
"My lord, we went to Jizhou because we could no longer survive."
"If we could survive, we would never take such a risk."
"We're so hungry we're practically blind; we've eaten everything we could along the way."
A man pointed to a small millstone he was carrying on his back: "We've been eating clay and tree branches ground into powder with this millstone all along the way, and that's how we've managed to survive until now."
"Otherwise, we would have starved to death long ago."
Jiang Tian looked at the disaster victims; each of them had an extremely large belly.
But they were extremely thin.
It is obvious that these disaster victims were harmed because they ate powdered tree branches and clay.
This leads to indigestion.
Jiang Tian's system warehouse is full of food and drinks.
He waved to the people kneeling on the ground.
The people were at a loss, and Jiang Tian walked to the dried-up lake.
The people didn't know what Jiang Tian was going to do, so they quickly stood up and surrounded him.
Jiang Tian opened the system.
I'm going to exchange it for a ten-kilometer-long river.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
[The host has already redeemed over 100 rivers; the host can now redeem lakes.]
Each lake covers an area of 20,000 mu (approximately 1,333 hectares), and the amber there never dries up.
20,000 mu.
Jiang Tian was extremely excited after hearing this.
A lake at Jianmen Pass would be enough to provide drinking water for the people coming and going.
With water, most people were able to survive.
Jiang Tian exchanged for a lake, which cost him 10,000 rage points.
His finger lightly touched the bottom of the dried-up lake.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water filled the air.
Soon, the lake water gathered more and more, becoming a surging torrent.
In an instant, the dried-up lake became a vast expanse of water.
When the thousands of disaster victims saw it, they could hardly believe their eyes and rubbed them vigorously.
They found they were right.
Many people rushed into the lake, burying their heads in the water and drinking it down.
Whether you're a man, a woman, an old person, or a child, this is a time to completely let loose and be yourself.
These days they've had very little to drink.
There were piles of white bones everywhere along the roadside. They hadn't seen water for a long time, and there was so much water.
In an instant, a lake covering 20,000 mu was formed.
After drinking their fill of water, the people climbed ashore one after another.
They were all soaking wet.
With a thud, all the people knelt down before Jiang Tian once again.
"Sir, you must be from Jizhou."
"According to the people's rumors, there is a Lord Jiang in Jizhou who made the river and well produce water."
"Thank you so much for saving our lives, sir. Without this water, we would all have died of thirst here."
Chen Feilong passed the order down, telling the cooks to cook more rice and prepare two jin of rice for each of the people.
Chen Feilong nodded and quickly went to make the arrangements.
"Fellow villagers, I will give each of you two jin (100 jin) of seeds."
Go back to where you came from.
Before long, your hometown will also become lush and green.
"Yes..." Everyone saw the shimmering water in the lake and believed Jiang Tian's words without a doubt.
...
Early the next morning.
Jiang Tian looked at Shangguan Wan'er in his arms.
The little girl was sleeping soundly, and Shangguan Wan'er smiled with a slight upturn to her lips.
"The sun's already high in the sky, get up quickly, we still have a long way to go."
Shangguan Wan'er slowly opened her sleepy eyes, and the little girl stretched lazily: "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."
We didn't go to sleep until dawn.
"Don't you want to go save your Emperor?" He reached out and pinched Shangguan Wan'er's rosy cheeks.
"I don't think it's a big deal to not go to rescue them for now," Shangguan Wan'er said, then turned over and went back to sleep.
Wow, this little girl doesn't even want to save Empress Qian Renxue.
Jiang Tian stretched and stepped off the train.
Li Yuanba was leaning against the train, snoring.
This guy snores like a madman.
"Li Yuanba, what are you doing sleeping here?" Jiang Tian walked over and kicked Li Yuanba, who then woke up.
"Why are you sleeping next to the train, you little rascal?"
Li Yuanba rubbed his eyes, and his stomach rumbled again: "My lord, give me two roasted lambs, and I'll tell you."
"You little rascal, you eat so much with such a small frame, where does all that food go?"
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers, signaling Ling Yunzhi to prepare two roasted lambs for Li Yuanba.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba chuckled and said, "My lord, last night I heard a woman screaming on your train. I was afraid you'd been harmed by a woman."
Then I looked inside..."
"Get out, get out..." Jiang Tian waved his hand at Li Yuanba, "What do you know, you little brat? Don't look at things you shouldn't see, understand?"
