The snake-beastman withdrew his murderous intent, but remained wary of the foreign sage's every word and action.
Si Yan tugged at the snake-beastman and smiled at the gray bird, saying, "Sage, what is it?"
The wise man with the gray bird gave an awkward smile and said under the cold pressure of the snake beastman, "The beastmen who went out to rescue us will take a long time to swim to higher ground after finding the trapped people. The round trip will greatly delay the rescue time."
I'd like to ask, Mr. Si Yan, do you have any good ideas on how to improve efficiency?
Si Yan asked, "Have you considered building a boat?"
"A ship? What's a ship?"
Si Yan explained, "Wood can float on water. A boat is similar to wood, but it has been further processed so that several orcs can sit steadily in one boat."
He dipped his finger in water and drew it on the table.
"It is a water transport vehicle that can be propelled by oars once it is built. After the stranded person is rescued, they can be placed on the boat and allowed to paddle to the shore on their own, saving rescue manpower."
"And what is 'juice'?"
Si Yan continued drawing, "The wide end of the oar dips into the water, which allows you to propel the boat."
Gray Whale understood what Si Yan meant almost immediately. He suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Si Yan is a wise and talented woman!"
He said impatiently, "I'll make the arrangements right now. Wise Lady Si Yan, you all continue eating!"
After saying this, Gray Witch and his disciples were preparing to leave.
He suddenly turned around and said to Si Yan, "Si Yan, you are wise. There is a rumor that I think I should tell you."
Si Yan asked curiously, "What rumor?"
"Some of the orcs who left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts returned and discussed that they had seen other orcs who had encountered the water monster. They said that the early rainy season was caused by the water monster."
As the gray bird spoke, it grew less credulous, saying, "The legendary water monster was sealed away by the Beast God long ago, how could it possibly appear?"
"Siyan, you don't need to worry too much."
After saying that, the gray parrot left.
Lake Monster?
Si Yan thought about it for a moment, but the snake-beastman diverted her attention.
...
It has been raining heavily for ten days.
The Wancheng Conference was completely shelved.
This is somewhat different from the dream Si Yan had.
She looked up at the tattered sky above her.
Perhaps because staying at the liquor store while waiting to give birth was too boring, she sometimes started to have wild thoughts.
She even wondered if the water monster was real, if it was arranged by the fake heaven, and who the fake heaven was, and whether he was really just a heaven.
Could he be a person? If he is a person, would he appear beside her, and how would he deal with her?
Thinking about it, it could all be turned into a novel of hundreds of thousands of words.
Beast City was relatively peaceful, without any flooding. However, the orcs who came and went to the taverns to chat and drink were not in high spirits. Si Yan could tell that the situation outside was getting worse and worse.
"Save them! Please, save our tribe!! Save them, save them!!"
"Where is the city lord? Quickly, take me to see the city lord!!"
"The floodwaters are huge this time; it's been ten days and they haven't stopped!"
Si Yan watched quietly, supporting her large pregnant belly, and then quietly returned to her room.
Little Blue Ocean and Little Koi walked up to Si Yan.
"Si Yan." "Godmother."
The two fish said in unison, "We want to help!"
When disaster strikes, the orcs' hearts unknowingly become united.
Seeing everyone contributing their time and effort, the two little mermaids hiding behind Si Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The little koi fish said, "Si Yan, I am a mermaid, water is my home ground, and I have good luck. As long as I go, I will definitely turn bad luck into good!"
Xiao Lan Hai chimed in, "Me too! I'm best at swimming, and I can take on ten of them by myself! I'll go to the rescue; I can save many people!"
Si Yan: "Have you thought this through? Even saving people isn't as easy as you imagine."
Little Koi and Little Blue Ocean looked at each other, then said, "We've thought it through, we're not afraid."
Si Yan smiled at Xiao Lan Hai and Xiao Jin Li and said, "Good children. Go ahead and help rescue people."
Lan Hai and Xiao Jinli were getting ready to go out.
Si Yan said, "Wait a moment."
“Yinxiu, Yinhong.”
The witch doctor Yinxiu and the silver wolf Yinhong came out.
Si Yan said to them, "Xiu Wu, take the medicinal herbs with you. If needed, participate in the treatment. Yin Hong, take the boats we prepared and accompany your mother to the flood-stricken area to find the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City. Follow his instructions to treat her and make sure to protect her. Also, Lan Hai and Jin Li."
"Yes," Yin Hong replied.
Si Yan watched them leave.
Inside the illusory wine shop.
Mingyan was not an orc from the Void Territory; he left after the Martial Arts Tournament no longer needed him.
Now that Xiao Lan Hai, Xiao Jin Li, Yin Xiu, and Yin Hong have left.
Only Wang, Jin Tong, She Ying She Chuan, Tyson, A Ye, Si Yan, and the five little cubs remained in the wine shop.
With Si Yan's delivery approaching, Wang, Jin Tong, and Tyson, these beastmen, would not leave under any circumstances.
That evening, the City of Beasts began calling for brave individuals to go out and rescue people. It seemed that the flood had spread to a larger area and become more severe.
Both the affected orcs and the rescuers were trapped and starving.
Si Yan felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
She summoned Snake River and Snake Shadow.
"lady!"
She arrived at a place with plenty of water outside the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, where she placed a boat full of live Gugu Beasts, their legs bound and secured to the boat. At the other end of the boat were many animal skin skirts that Si Yan no longer needed.
"Business at the wine shop hasn't been good lately, and we don't need you."
