There used to be a large lake here, but after a severe drought, the river dried up to its bed.
Now, all that remains here is cracked silt, rotten wood, and stones.
Seeing this, Chen Wan'er asked in confusion, "Your Highness, this river is too big. Even if the gods supplied water, it would take several days and nights to fill it up."
“Yes, this place is all silt, and the water will take a long time to settle after it is transported here. Let’s use a reservoir to store the water, shall we?” Cheng’er nodded in agreement.
However, the next second, a gurgling sound suddenly came from the river in front of them.
In an instant, the once dry and cracked riverbed turned into a vast sea.
All three people present were stunned.
What's going on?
In the past, when the gods sent water, it would flow out little by little, requiring people to collect it in buckets or store it in a reservoir to slowly accumulate.
How come the entire river is full in the blink of an eye?
The people living along the river were all stunned by this scene.
"My God, this is a river! The gods have given us a river!"
"My God, we have a river!"
Someone pointed at the fish jumping around in the river and shouted, "Your Highness, look! There are fish in the river! The gods have not only given us water, but also fish, shrimp, and crabs!"
"Mom, these are all live fish, shrimp, and crabs! Can we start raising them now? Big fish will have little fish, big shrimp will have little shrimp, and we'll never have to worry about food again!"
"The moat is full, does that mean we don't have to worry about water usage anymore? Can I finally take a proper bath? Can we use it to irrigate the fields?"
More and more people gathered as they heard that the river in the city center had water.
Everyone knelt by the river and wept.
"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"
"My poor old man, if only you could hold on for a few more days, we would be able to see the river full of water!"
"Mother! You said you wanted a proper burial, but you didn't even have water to bathe and change your clothes. Now, Liangcheng has water, a whole river of water. Your spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace!"
Qin Yue Zhao looked at the people by the river who were crying tears of joy, and her eyes silently reddened.
"Wan'er, go and inform General Huo that he should wait until the people have finished fetching water before bringing the soldiers to bathe."
Since the severe drought in Liangcheng, many people have developed boils and eczema due to not bathing for a long time, and they feel itchy and painful at night.
Even after the soldiers finished fighting, covered in blood, they couldn't take a bath; they could only wipe themselves down hastily with a towel dampened with water.
Over the years, the soldiers' clothes reeked of decay and stench, and the pungent smell could be detected from afar.
Now that the moat is full of water, everyone can take a good, thorough bath.
