Fast-crossing boss: save the sick, petite and pitiful

Chapter 33

after March.

"There's a flood." The people looked at the embankment with a very nervous expression.

I don't know if this wooden embankment is useful or not.

Under the worried eyes of everyone, the water was rushing in, constantly hitting the dam.

A stick of incense passed by, but the embankment was still there unharmed.

"It's blocked." Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"It's really blocked."

"Thank God."

The people hugged each other excitedly, tears flowing wantonly.

They came alive.

"It's solved." Nan Wan let out a sigh of relief. The most important thing now is the food problem.

"Okay, okay." Minister of the Ministry of Rites saw this scene, and praised him three times in a row.

Lin Youyou also had a look of joy on her face. This was the first time she had witnessed such a big return for her hard work.

"Amitabha." A monk dressed in cassock and with snow-like eyebrows saw this scene and performed a Buddha ceremony in relief.

"I don't know who the master is?" The Minister of Rites caught sight of the monk who was out of place in the crowd, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"The poor monk's Dharma name is Mengdao."

"It turned out to be Zen Master Mengdao." The Minister of Rites made a Buddhist salute to him, "Why is Master here?"

"I heard that Jinling was flooded, so I came here to help." Zen Master Mengdao sighed softly, "It's a pity that I didn't help much."

They have absolutely no hand in water control.

Nan Wan looked at Zen Master, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Master, I need your help with something."

Chan Master Mengdao was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile, "I don't know what the poor monk can do to help?"

The Minister of Rites also looked at Nan Wan in surprise, wanting to hear what she had to say.

"I hope the master can hold a ceremony in the name of getting rid of evil spirits and chant scriptures for three days."

The ancients believed in gods and Buddhas. If everyone believed that the flood was caused by evil spirits, then she could take this opportunity to calm the hearts of the people.

"You mean to tell the people that evil spirits are responsible for the floods, but what exactly are evil spirits?" Minister of Rites looked at Nan Wan puzzled.

Nan Wan looked in the direction of the government and said with a smile, "Of course it refers to corrupt officials."

Corrupt officials are hated by everyone, just like evil spirits.

Zen Master Mengdao looked at Nan Wan thoughtfully, nodded and said, "The poor monk agrees."

……

"What? Is there something evil?" The people panicked.

"Everyone, don't panic." Nan Wan said loudly: "This is Zen Master Mengdao, and he will perform a ritual to get rid of evil spirits."

"How long?" Someone asked boldly.

"It's as short as one day, and as long as three days." The Minister of Rites chimed in.

"Then what should we do?" The common people panicked, this was the first time they were so close to Xie Chong.

In the past, they all learned about the horror of evil spirits from their ancestors.

"The poor monk has many disciples, and they will take turns going to each house to pray for blessings these days." Zen Master Mengdao clasped his hands together and performed a Buddha ceremony.

"The government will also send more manpower in the next few days." The Minister of Rites silently glanced at Nan Wan.

"That's good." The mood of the people gradually calmed down.

"Everyone can participate in the chanting." Chan Master Mengdao added.

This is Nan Wan's proposal, instead of being anxious there, it is better to do other things to divert attention.

"The most important thing now is the food and grass." The Minister of Rites sighed softly, "The fortune is not good, and the fate is not good."

"Why don't you borrow food from nearby?" Lin Youyou asked doubtfully.

What she thought was very simple, as long as they agreed, they could borrow food.

"The road is bumpy and there is no shortcut." Nan Wan explained, "Jinling relies on water for its water, and now the current is so fast that it is difficult to go out, so we can only take the mountain road instead."

Do you know if there are any robbers on the mountain road?Nan Wan didn't say this.

"Think about it tomorrow! It's getting late now." The Minister of Rites said helplessly: "It's been a busy day, and I should be tired."

Hearing this, Nan Wan and the two left one after another.

"Wife master." Ming Yang woke up from a dream and found that Nan Wan hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he yelled in surprise.

"Did I bother you?" Nan Wan looked at him apologetically.

"Is the wife-lord worried?" Ming Yang asked without thinking.

The words were so familiar, he was stunned instead.

"Well, I'm worried about food and grass." Nan Wan didn't hide anything, and told him the matter.

"Why doesn't the wife master consider letting Jinling merchants find the way? They have traveled all over the country and are very familiar with this area." Ming Yang lowered his brows and smiled slightly.

"But what if they don't want to?" Nan Wan's inner worry didn't decrease because of these words.

"Wife master, you can put up a notice that there must be a brave man under a lot of money." Ming Yang stretched out his hand to stroke Nan Wan's hair, with a gentle smile on his face.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Nan Wan smiled, "Thank you Fulang."

"Wife master, go to bed earlier." Ming Yang turned back to the couch without answering.

He helped her this time for the sake of the people of Jinling, so he won't help her next time.

Nan Wan looked at his back and was silent for a while.

"Recruiting people to explore the way, and rewarding them with a lot of money afterwards?" The people gathered around the gate of the government, looking at the notice suspiciously.

"is this real?"

"Of course it's true, how can adults make fun of this?"

"I can go, I was a merchant before."

"I can go too, I am familiar with all the mountain roads and water roads."

"Those who want to go can register here." The soldier greeted everyone with a list.

"How? Has the list been counted?" the Minister of Rites asked aloud.

"Come out, ten people volunteered to go." Nan Wan handed her the list, "Lin Youyou is in charge of escorting."

The opponent is in the dart game, and his fist and kick skills are very good.

"Okay." The Minister of Rites nodded in satisfaction, "I will edit a book now and ask Her Majesty the Queen for food."

The flood in Jinling had just been relieved, and the people were all busy picking up crops.

Nanwan walked on the street alone, wandering aimlessly.

"Sister." When Xiaoya saw her, she came up to her excitedly.

"Little girl." Nan Wan reached out and hugged him, "Why did you come out?"

"Brother Chu Sheng is busy, and I don't want to disturb him." The little girl hugged Nan Wan tightly, "Is there something bothering my sister?"

"No." Nan Wan shook his head, "I'll take you back! It's not safe outside."

After going back, Xiao Ya kept pouted, depressed.

"Little girl, what's the matter?" Chu Sheng picked her up and asked in a low voice.

"Brother, I think sister Nan has something on her mind. But when I asked her, she said no, sister lied." Xiaoya complained dissatisfied.

"You're still a child now, and you'll understand when you grow up." Ming Yang stepped up and gently rubbed her hair.

"Engong, I have found the person you want, and the chamber of commerce can be established at any time." Chu Sheng stared deeply at Ming Yang. He didn't understand why Engong did this, but he still chose to support it.

Ming Yang paused, and said softly: "Let them come over later!"

"Okay." Chu Sheng nodded.

Xiaoya broke free from Chu Sheng's arms and ran out quickly.

These grown-ups are really strange, they obviously have something on their minds, but they still lie to others that they don't.

Brother Ming is, and so is Sister Nan.
