Lin Yiran walked to the side and squatted down to fiddle with the boxes of custom-made fireworks.
With so much money spent on this first artificial rainfall in a famine year, it has to be a big deal.
It’s a good day to celebrate, let’s set off some fireworks to celebrate and celebrate with the people.
"Bang!"
With a cannon shot, Xiao Yunzhan fired the last rain bomb.
The rain bomb flew straight into the clouds and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye...
........
"My lord, my lord..."
“Ouch!”
"Sir, good news! It looks like it's going to rain in Brahma City!!!"
The guard at the city gate ran into the prefectural government office with a happy look on his face, and almost tripped when he ran over the threshold.
He steadied himself and continued running forward with his teeth bared.
"He--He, sir!"
The guard at the city gate rushed to the second hall and saw He Zhifu standing outside the Qinsi Hall with a frown on his face and staring at the sky. He quickly stopped and knelt on one knee to salute.
He Dongning glanced sideways at the city gate guards, "Why are you so flustered?!"
He had just been handling official business in the Qinsi Hall when he suddenly heard a few muffled thunder sounds.
Thinking about how Xiao Yunzhan and his group borrowed several Taoist priests when they left, he guessed that those Taoist priests were praying for rain.
Before, the Taoist priests prayed for rain for a long time, but they could only get two or three muffled thunders, and the rain did not fall.
Just as he sighed and shook his head, preparing to continue handling official business, the thunder suddenly became louder and connected quite closely.
He couldn't help but run out and look up at the sky.
"My Lord, it's going to rain in Brahma City!"
The city gate guard recovered his breath and looked up at He Dongning with excitement.
The guards on the city gate towers were all chosen for their good eyesight, so they could vaguely see something unusual happening in Brahma City. Combined with the sound of thunder, it was definitely going to rain.
It was indeed a city favored by the God King. As soon as the Xiao family arrived in Brahma City, lightning and thunder began to appear in Brahma City.
Unfortunately, they were far away and could not witness the scene of the rain falling from the sky.
However, if the Taoist priest can pray for rain for Brahma City, he can definitely pray for rain for Pingliang City. Just go and invite the Taoist priests.
He Dongning put his hands behind his back and sighed softly.
"It's about to rain, but it hasn't rained yet... Let's wait and see!"
After a burst of thunder, it is now calm again. It is unlikely to rain.
Natural disasters are not so easy to solve.
How can a man fight against God? Even if he is a god, he cannot go against God's will.
It is already very difficult for the God King to produce so much food and supplies to keep the people of the city alive, so don't force anything else.
With such a big commotion, I don’t know if those Taoist priests can hold on.
He Dongning squinted his eyes at the scorching sun in the sky and decided to use the food and water in the granary sparingly, as long as it could keep the people alive.
One more day of endurance means one more day of hope, right?
"Sir, this time is different." The gate guard raised his hand excitedly and gestured.
"Dark clouds filled the sky, larger than ever before, drifting towards Brahma City..."
"We noticed that the sky in the direction of Brahma City was getting darker. The sky over there was obviously much darker than here. Maybe it had already rained."
The guard at the city gate muttered silently in his heart: Quick, sir, please arrange for me to go to Brahma City to find out the situation, I want to go out in the rain!
"Oh!" He Dongning's eyes lit up slightly. "Let's go to the city gate tower and take a look."
Hearing is not as good as seeing. The prefectural government office is some distance away from the city gate, so the view is not clear enough.
"Yes!" The guard at the city gate hurriedly trotted to get the horse.
........
"Master He!"
Several county magistrates who were closer to the city gate heard the movement from the direction of Brahma City and climbed up to the city gate tower early to watch on tiptoe.
When they saw He Dongning coming, everyone saluted him with joy on their faces.
"What did you see?"
He Dongning glanced at everyone, walked towards the railing of the city gate tower, and squinted his eyes to look in the direction of Brahma City.
The county magistrates looked at each other and started talking one after another.
"I suspect that Brahma City must have recruited quite a few Taoist priests this time, and the commotion is quite large."
"Tsk, it's a big noise, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain..."
"That may not be the case. Aren't the dark clouds still pressing down on Brahma City? There's still hope for rain."
"It's difficult. The thunder only lasted for a short while, and now there's no movement anymore. Sigh..."
"Those Taoist priests are quite capable, but it's a pity they might not survive this time!"
“........”
He Dongning's brows furrowed more and more as he listened to his subordinates' discussion.
He also felt that it would be difficult for the rain to fall. Looking at the dark clouds over Brahma City, they seemed to be fading.
If the King of Gods could really change God's will and send down the rain directly, there would be no need to store so much water in the warehouse.
He tasted the water and found it sweet and extremely clean and clear. The mountain spring water that Emperor Wu of Liang drank might not be as clean as this water.
It must be very difficult for the God King to get this water, so he shouldn't ask for too much.
People should be content.
If we drink this water sparingly, it can still allow the people to survive for another month.
Maybe there will be a turning point in a month.
