honor me as god

Chapter 521
Ma Ban has been investigating the grain prices in the market for the past two days, but found nothing except for abnormal grain prices.

As for why the granary in Danyu City has not been opened for a long time, and why it has not been quickly released to stabilize the market, Ma Ban doesn't know.

He tried to get close to the granary, but the defense there was more stringent than ever. Even a former grain officer like him, who knew the way with his eyes closed, couldn't sneak in.

Ma Ban couldn't help feeling a little discouraged after trying so hard but getting nothing. Now that it was the Dragon Fire Festival fireworks celebration, the residents of the North City went to the South City to watch the fireworks, so he followed the crowd to the South City and found a place that was relatively less crowded. Watching the fireworks in a different place, I plan to take this to adjust my mood.

However, for such a grand celebration of a mainstream festival, another meaning of "uncrowded" is "remote", and the viewing angle is very poor, so there are not many people.

Mama left relatively late, and the good seats were already crowded, so he could only stand in a remote corner. There were many buildings around that affected the view, and the fireworks were set off far away. From here, he could only see a small pieces.

Thinking back to the past, if I was still a food official, this kind of festival would not only go to the Dingge viewing platform, but at least I could be arranged indoors with a good viewing experience, sitting there and watching the fireworks leisurely, instead of standing in a corner like now .

However, Ma Ban didn't feel regretful, he muttered in a deep voice: "These officials cover the sky with their hands and their eyes are lawless. It doesn't matter if I am suspended from my post. I don't bother to join forces with them. There is fairness and justice in this world." Now, sooner or later they will fall from the horse!"

While Ma Ban was muttering to himself, a beggar watching the excitement knocked on the bowl, pointed to the southern night sky and said, "Hey, the fireworks seem to be coming towards us."

Ma Ban couldn't help laughing and said: "The Dragon Fire Festival celebration has a fixed venue, and the angle of firework emission is also fixed. How could it be coming towards us?"

The beggar knocked again at night, and said with certainty: "Look for yourself, are you getting closer to us?"

Ma Ban subconsciously raised her head to look, and couldn't help squinting her eyes.

strange things
The beggar was right. From here just now, I could only see fireworks burning in a small area of ​​the night sky, but now one-third of the night is occupied by fireworks, like an invisible monster appearing in the sky. With his big hand, he pushed the fireworks in Nancheng to the north.

Ma Ban frowned and muttered, "That's impossible. Even if the wind causes the fireworks to shift, the north wind blows in Danyu City in winter. If the fireworks want to move, they will also shift to the rocky beach in the south. Why do they go north?"

Just when Ma Ban was puzzled, the scale of the fireworks in the night sky was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, occupying half of the night in a short period of time, and the fireworks were all over the head. In terms of effect, it is really an excellent experience.

Seeing this, the beggar knocked on the bowl cheerfully, and said complacently: "Look at how smart I am, I chose this position early, but fortunately I didn't push forward like everyone else. No, the fireworks came to me on my own initiative~ This angle is probably more comfortable than the viewing platform on the square.”

The beggar was silly and happy, but Ma Ban felt as if a huge stone was pressed in his heart, and was extremely depressed. A little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said to himself: "This is wrong. How could the fireworks have such a large-scale deviation?" .The venue of the celebration must have not been moved, nor can it be moved. This can only be because the wind direction has changed."

The beggar held his nose and said, "You are stupid, the wind in winter blows from north to south, how can it blow from south to north? Isn't that a ghost?"

It was like a joke made by the gods. The moment the beggar's voice fell, the north wind blowing from behind them suddenly stopped.
The wind was calm and silent, as if a big hand had cut off the wind veins, turning the surrounding into a strange windless area.

Then, the wind blows from the front.
The south wind rises!
The south wind mixed with the burnt smell of fireworks came from the front. It was mild at first, but the wind became stronger and stronger, and the burnt smell became stronger and stronger, which made people feel choking.

Feeling the wind blowing in front of him, the beggar was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at his hands, and said in surprise and joy: "Could it be that I am the descendant of the legendary god, who has the ability to change all things in nature?!"

The strong wind was blowing, and Ma Ban felt something falling down, and almost blurred his eyes. He subconsciously wiped it on his face, and when he looked closely, he found that his hands were covered with black marks, which were the embers formed after the fireworks were set off.

Looking up at the sky, the night is already intertwined with sparks, the fireworks that have not reached the deflagration point tear the sky, and continue to climb to the height with burning traces, and then explode pieces of dazzling light, completely swallowing the dense night, like a fire dragon wild dance.

Under the influence of the fierce south wind, the fireworks continued to advance northward, and along the way, there were pattering fire spots, like burning fire butterflies, some of which were extinguished during the fall, turning into burnt black ash, Some of them still carried sparks when they fell to the ground, emitting wisps of green smoke.

"Oh! It's terrible, I'm choking to death!" The beggar inhaled a little soot and coughed non-stop. He put a bowl on his head as a cover, and ran all the way to hide under the nearby eaves, cursing and patting the black stains off his clothes. Grey, complaining that this dress was washed three months ago, and now it will be washed again.

While patting and patting, the beggar suddenly caught a glimpse of a person standing blankly among the embers scattered all over the sky. It was none other than Maban. A thin layer of black ash had already accumulated on his shoulders, and several holes had been scalded on his clothes. .

The beggar looked at him like a fool, and greeted him angrily: "Hey, brother, this is the ashes from fireworks. It's not rain, and you can't take a bath for free. What are you doing there? Come and hide."

Mama stood there in a daze, his clothes were scalded with hot embers and there were small holes, and some of them fell on the skin and gave off green smoke, but he didn't seem to feel the pain, he just spread his hands blankly, Watch the embers fall on it.

The south wind howled, sparks fluttered, Ma Ban raised his head and looked to the north, to the direction where the fireworks deviated.
Although he has only been a food officer for less than a month, the responsibilities on his shoulders have already driven him to understand the terrain of the entire North City.

Where is the granary, what is the road condition nearby, how many horse-drawn carriages can be accommodated at most, where is the nearest water source, how many firemen can be supplied at the same time and draw water at the same time, he knows all kinds of situations clearly.

Now, under the influence of the south wind, the fireworks all over the sky are drifting towards the North City, and it is in the middle of the North City. Ma Ban quickly recognized that it is the direction of the Eight Great Granaries!

When he came back to his senses, Ma Ban's body was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't even realize that the top of his head was scorched by embers, and his hair was scorched a few times. Panic poured out on his face like a bank burst, and he hissed at the top of his voice : "Go to the granary to fight the fire!!!"
