Liaozhai Great Sage

As for those who are not tempted, they are rich people, and Li Xiuyuan does not plan to recruit such people, and rich people can't endure hardships and can't do dirty work.

After Li Xiuyuan walked around the city wall, he recruited at least 600 people.

And they are all strong men, old and weak, women and children, he did not recruit them.

Although there are some healthy women who also want to earn this salary, Li Xiuyuan has another consideration besides disaster relief this time, that is, he does not want these strong men to cause trouble in the city.

Li Xiuyuan saw that the number of recruits was almost reached, so he began to arrange their division of labor in advance.

"200 people are responsible for dredging, cleaning the main streets first."

"300 people are responsible for moving the corpses in the city. No matter who or which family the corpses belong to, they should be buried outside the city. There is no time for family members to claim them. Now that the weather is hot, I don't want an epidemic to happen." Li Xiuyuan said.

"The remaining people are responsible for the security of the city and the management of the well water."

"Wang Ping, go and look at the wells in the city. Remember, the water source is the most important thing, and the people should not be allowed to drink sewage. Once the disease occurs, there will be no one in the city to treat it, and only one death will happen."

"Zhu Yu, you are in charge of directing their dredging."

Ning Caichen said, "Then what about me?"

"I'll trouble you to gather some healthy women to cook. There are several rice shops in the city. Although the rice is soaked in water, it is still edible. Take all of them." Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen said: "If you don't ask, you can take it yourself. What if the shopkeeper pursues it?"

"Then let the shopkeeper come to me." Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen nodded immediately upon hearing the words.

It seems that this is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary means are needed.

After discussing for a while, everything was confirmed, and it didn't end until midnight.

But in the middle of the night, there were bursts of crying and wailing on the city wall and inside the city.

Some people pay homage to their dead relatives and children.

Crying heartbroken and moving.

But no matter how sad the people are, they still have to live this day.

By the third day of the flood, the stagnant water in the city had almost disappeared. Although there was still water, people could already walk in the city.

Li Xiuyuan's previous orders and arrangements worked. He first brought 600 people into the city. First of all, he found a place with high terrain and the flood receded.

"Boss, the Town God's Temple in the city is not flooded, you can go there to light a fire and cook." A commoner ran over and said.

"Okay, let's go there."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard the Town God's Temple, and then immediately led the victims there.

After entering the Town God's Temple, I found that except for the waterlogging marks on the outer wall of the Town God's Temple, the inside was actually dry, as if it hadn't been flooded.

"The city god has appeared, and there is no disaster here." Zhu Yu exclaimed.

"Brother Li, there is a well here, and the water in it is clean and not polluted."

Ning Caichen said happily, but saw that the water in a well in the Town God's Temple was extremely clear, without any turbidity. Such a well in the city was worth ten thousand dollars of gold.

"You are responsible for lighting the fire and cooking, and let the old and weak in the city rest in the Temple of the City God." Li Xiuyuan said.

Several nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

Chapter 173 Life and Death Lottery

Li Xiuyuan ordered a few more words, then took the time to enter the temple.

But I saw that the temple was quiet and silent, and all the arrangements were the same as before the disaster, but the city god in the Town God's Temple before the flood protected it with his power.

"Master Li is looking for me?" At this moment a voice sounded.

But he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking out from behind the statue of the City God Temple.

This person is not a human being, but the City God of Guo Beicheng.

"Chenghuang, you are really capable. When the flood hits, you can easily protect your temple from damage." Li Xiuyuan smiled coldly.

"The Dragon King of the Wujiang River is flooding, and I can protect my temple, which is pretty good." The City God saluted and said.

Li Xiuyuan snorted heavily: "If you have this magic power, why don't you protect a group of people. In your opinion, your temple is much more important than the lives of the people."

He had long been dissatisfied with this Guobei City God, but now that he met him face to face, he felt angry.

In the final analysis, Guobei City is under the jurisdiction of his City God, and the Dragon King of Wujiang has been raining these days, no matter whether he doesn't ask, this City God is so negligent of his duty.

The Dragon King of Wujiang is the righteous god of Wujiang, but why not the City God.

But Chenghuang watched the disaster here, how could he not be angry at such inaction.

"Young Master Li misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to protect the people, but I knew the disaster was coming many days ago, before the rainstorm came down." Cheng Huang sighed.

"How do you know?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Chenghuang shook his head, did not continue, but turned around and said: "I know I have a responsibility this time, so I left the Chenghuang Temple for the people in the city to live in, and left a well for the people to drink. Know what Young Master Li thinks?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "The temple was built by the common people, and the well was dug by the common people. You are just enjoying the incense on high. Don't make yourself so noble, and you have something to hide from me. The matter of the Dragon King of Wujiang is definitely not that simple. He As the son of Jiaolong, how could my son die for no reason? There must be a reason, and today I want to get the truth of this matter from you."

Chenghuang's expression changed, and he said, "I don't know about this matter very well, Mr. Li, it's useless for you to ask me."

"You even know that the flood is coming, so you don't know about it? Since you don't know, then what's the use of me wanting you as a city god now, why don't I send you, a stupid city god, on the road today, just as I just got a big knife A few heads are missing." Li Xiuyuan stared at the city god with murderous intent.

He didn't want to be deceived by this City God a second time.

With a sway of his body, a burst of purple energy rushed out of his body, but he saw that his spirit had already come out of his body, holding a big knife in his hand.

Immortal Sword?

Cheng Huang's eyes shrank suddenly, and his face was a little shocked.

Two days ago, he also saw Li Xiuyuan's spirit come out of his body, tearing the sky with this knife, splitting the dark clouds, and beheading the Dragon King of Wujiang.

If this knife cuts towards him, he will definitely die.

"Mr. Li, calm down. It's useless for you to kill me now. The flood has already happened. The most important thing now is to deal with the aftermath. I can help you rescue the disaster and save people. You must not act recklessly."

Cheng Huang lost his calmness before, and when he saw Li Xiuyuan acting seriously, his voice trembled in fright.

He instinctively felt that the knife in Li Xiuyuan's hand was very scary.
