Chapter 294 There is something under the river
Stone is something that can withstand the test of time the most. No matter how it weathers, it will not become like this.
Zhuifeng shook his head and glanced at Lu Yaoyao carefully. "I don't understand either. This was discovered by the little princess."
The two of them looked at Lu Yaoyao at the same time, hoping to get an answer.
Lu Yaoyao knew that they didn’t know what was going on, but she couldn’t even speak clearly, so how could she explain it?
An idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "Dad, dig a river."
"It's a year of disaster, and many people are idle because they have nothing to eat. How about using food as a reward to get people to help dig the river?"
[As long as the things in that river are dug out, there will be water, and the drought will be solved.]
[However, that thing has been at the bottom of the river for a thousand years. Once I dig it up, I must subdue it. Otherwise, it will continue to wreak havoc on the world every few decades or even centuries.]
[This thing must be dealt with all at once, otherwise, once it becomes a major issue, the people of the Great Yu Dynasty will face death.]
hiss!
Zhuifeng took a deep breath. Is there something at the bottom of the river?
Can it also endanger everyone in the Dayu Dynasty?
What the hell is in here?
Lu Xiao was much calmer. He knew his daughter's abilities and had complete faith in her.
No matter what's inside, his daughter will definitely conquer it.
"Zhuifeng, put up a notice! There's a spring in the Bailang River. We need workers to dig the river! Anyone who participates in digging the river will receive half a bag of rice per day. The more people who come, the better."
Now they have no shortage of food, the important thing is to dig things out of the river.
Since the little girl said that the severe drought was caused by something in the river, the most urgent task is to end the drought.
Having water is the most effective way to solve drought.
"Dad, okay." Lu Yaoyao kissed Lu Xiao on the face.
[He is indeed her father. He knows everything she says.]
Lu Xiao:...
If your father couldn't hear your inner voice, no matter how smart he is, he wouldn't be able to guess it.
"Yes." Zhuifeng went down to post the notice.
Lu Yaoyao yawned, she felt sleepy.
She found a comfortable position and fell asleep in Lu Xiao's arms.
I've overused my Divine Eyes today and need a good rest.
I don’t know when her Five Elements Technique will be unlocked.
If she could unlock the first level of the Five Elements Technique, then she would have no trouble catching the things at the bottom of the river.
But now her Five Elements Technique has not been unlocked, so if she wants to catch that thing, she needs to use some special things.
That’s all!
Let’s wait until she wakes up!
Lu Xiao coaxed the little girl to sleep, put her in the soft bed, covered her with her own little quilt, and kissed her little face gently, "Little girl is cute when she is asleep."
Although his daughter always cursed him in her heart and sometimes even wanted A Tan to divorce him, she was still his most beloved daughter after all.
What can I do?
You can only pamper your own daughter.
He tiptoed out of the room, went to the study and wrote a letter, and had someone send it to the capital as quickly as possible.
I believe that when the emperor sees the letter, he will understand why there is such a severe drought.
The people of Bai'an County drank porridge from their bowls and suddenly felt that there was hope in life.
"Master Zhuifeng, is what this notice says true?"
Liu Cixin still knows a few words.
When I saw the content on the notice, I became excited.
As long as you go to dig the river, you will get half a bag of rice as reward every day. He was the first to sign up!
"It's true! There's still water beneath the Bailang River outside the county, but we need to dig to a spring. The prince said that if we want to dig the river, we need to recruit laborers. Anyone who goes to dig the river will be paid half a bag of rice every day. If you want to sign up, go over there and register."
As soon as Zhuifeng finished speaking, a group of people surrounded him.
"What? Digging a river will create water?"
"If there really is water, we'll dig!"
"And there's food as a reward. I sign up!"
"And me! I'm signing up too!"
The severe drought in Bai'an County is due to the drying up of the Bailang River, otherwise they would not have suffered a complete harvest.
The Bailang River has never dried up for thousands of years. It has dried up in recent years, which is not a good sign.
When everyone heard that there was a spring in the river, they became motivated.
Bai'an County is their hometown, and no one wants their hometown to become deserted.
If there were water, they could grow crops and they wouldn't starve.
Since the prince said there is a spring at the bottom of the river, then there must be one.
There was a long line of people waiting to register.
Also coming with them was Yang Bo, the palace's steward. So many people signed up that his hands were sore from writing.
Lu Yaoyao slept until the next day before waking up.
"Daddy."
There was no one in the carriage, they must all be outside.
Lu Xiao heard the sound and got into the carriage. The little girl was wearing a red inner garment and a bellyband embroidered with two chubby koi fish. Her chubby little arms were exposed, and she looked like someone wanted to bite her.
Lu Xiao naturally picked up the small clothes beside her and helped her put them on. "My daughter, the food is running out. We need to get some more food out. We can temporarily use the warehouse of this grain store."
County Magistrate Bai An has been controlled by Zhui Feng and is being held in the county jail. He has taken over temporarily here.
Now is not the time to deal with the county magistrate. The important thing is to settle the people first.
"Uh-huh."
"I want a child."
Lu Yaoyao nodded, and the two little beads on her head were shaking.
After getting the food out, we'll need to find the children. If we want to deal with that thing at the bottom of the river, we'll need boy's urine.
Those kids haven't had any water in a long time. I wonder if they can pee now?
Lu Xiao's mouth twitched. Do you need boy's urine to deal with that thing?
What on earth is that thing at the bottom of the river?
After helping Lu Yaoyao put on her clothes, Lu Xiao skillfully helped her comb her hair.
From being unfamiliar at the beginning to being proficient now.
The combed hair already looks good.
Lu Yaoyao looked at the pink little ball in the bronze mirror. There were two little bells on her head. She was so cute.
[I really am pretty! My mother is pretty, my father is not ugly either, so I am even prettier.]
Lu Yaoyao admired herself in the mirror for most of the day.
Lu Xiao's face was full of doting smile. His daughter loves beauty at such a young age?
Later, he gave all the good things in the world to his daughter.
Lu Xiao made breakfast himself, and it was food that was easily digestible.
After dinner, Lu Xiao carried her to the river. There were many people coming to dig the river, but they didn't know where to start.
[Huh? So many people here to dig the river? More people means more work, so we can just start digging from the source.]
[The thing at the bottom of the river is huge. If the hole is too small, it won't be able to get out. It's a hundred meters long!]
Those who could hear Lu Yaoyao's thoughts were a little confused. Isn't the purpose of digging a river to find a spring?
Could it be that the spring is as big as a hundred meters long?
Lu Xiao frowned, "Start digging from the source. The length should be at least 100 meters, and the deeper the better."
After receiving the order, everyone took up their tools and started digging.
Lu Yaoyao saw that they were working hard, and then she saw a few children walking together not far away.
There were both boys and girls, all of them were young, the oldest was only six or seven years old.
When she saw them, Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up.
[Boy's urine! Hurry up and tell these people to stop peeing randomly and put them all in one toilet bowl. I'll need it later.]
Zhuifeng staggered and looked at the prince with twitching eyes. What does the little princess want the boy's urine for?
I wish all my dears a happy New Year, and may everything go smoothly and make a fortune in the new year!
