The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 107 Kneel down for mom

Not only are they worried these days, but Lao Liu, the head of the weapons manufacturing department who usually seems to be "not worried", has finally revealed his true state of mind.

He looked at the river and burst into tears. With a plop, he knelt down by the river again, kowtowing and crying: "Thank you, my boss, for saving my life, and thank you, Madam Pan, for giving me water!"

Alas, Old Liu Kong has been leading a closed weapons manufacturing department for a long time. The weapons manufacturing department has not been officially opened for a day, so his title as the head of the department is not stable.

By the way, until now, at every "senior cadre meeting", Manager Zhao, Director Liu (Liu Ji), Director Gao and others still call him "Old Liu" one after another!

Lao Liu smiles on his face, but in his heart he is very concerned about it, and may even be so sad that he can't sleep all night long!He, Old Liu, is now a senior cadre. According to the rules, they should call him Old Liu, Chief!

The water of the Tianhe River has no regard for the joy of mortals. It rushes down the Juma River and easily pushes 72 waterwheels in sequence. (Two spare water trucks)

Amid the admiration of all the craftsmen, it came to the eyes of the villagers of Hongjia Village.

Compared to the guards and craftsmen on the shore, they had always been the quietest during the series of miracles that had just happened (the most timid, for fear of being disrespectful and offending the gods), but now they are the quietest. Exciting.

Hongjia Village is not big, with a total of only about [-] households and nearly [-] villagers.

The crops in the fields are short of water. For them, this is the most painful thing in the world, really!It’s more painful than the death of your own son!
Now they are watching the river flow endlessly through the ditch into their fields... They don't know how many times they have imagined this scene in their dreams!
Regardless of whether they were young or old, male or female, all the villagers in Hongjia Village knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

The Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty actually started in the Wanli Period (the Chongzhen Period was the worst). For three to forty years, this water shortage torture lasted almost throughout most of their lives.

According to what the government and Hong Qi said (mainly because of Hong Qi’s belief), the river will have water this year and next, and it will never stop flowing in the future. This is really...God bless, this is really amazing!
Many older people threw away the barrels like crazy and rushed to the river almost against the swords of the officers and soldiers. They wanted to feel the splashing waves. If possible, they would even jump directly to the river. Go inside.

Because otherwise, they always feel in their hearts that the water from the river is unreal.

Hong Qi saw that his mother-in-law was still lying on the ground and crying loudly. The usually tough mother-in-law cried so hard that she almost died.

He knew that the mother-in-law was thinking of her eldest daughter who died of potbelly disease three years ago.

The so-called potbelly disease is actually caused by hunger. Chunhua (the eldest daughter) was only 12 years old, and her belly was so bloated that it looked like she was pregnant with quadruplets... If I could squeeze out half a bowl of porridge for her...

Hong Qi's heart ached like a knife when he thought about Chunhua's appearance before her death.

The little naughty boy next to him didn't cry. He didn't understand why his mother was so sad. He just wanted to stand up - he wanted to run to Erpokou to see the Milky Way.

Hong Qi pinned him to the ground, the veins on his big hands were bulging, and one sentence came to his lips: You piece of shit, do you know that you risked your sister's life?

This was originally a fucked-up era, not just him, Hong Qi, but every household in Hongjia Village, and even most of the people living by the Juma River now. Whose family didn't have similar tragic past events?

The river sent down by the gods cannot bring the dead back to life, but it can give hope to those who are still alive.

As long as we can harvest crops every year and have no worries about food and clothing (the fields are all owned by large tenant farmers, and the rent is very high), at least parents no longer have to make such a tragic choice: which child to give birth to, and which child to give birth to. The child dies.So after the grief, Hong Qi and the villagers were filled with joy and gratitude. They were grateful to the Fang Dong family who invited the god for them, but they had no idea who this god was.

So while they were kowtowing, they were calling random names, some called God, some called Great Immortal... It wasn't until the faint voices of the guards and craftsmen on the other side came over that they knew the name of the Immortal who lowered the river for them. ——Pan Niangniang.

So thousands of people on both sides of the Juma River knelt on the ground, and the sounds of worship gradually formed a rhythm from uneven sounds.

"Thank you to my boss for saving my life, and thank you to Madam Pan for giving me river water!"

Even amidst the loud roar of the Tianhe River, the sound of worship is still clear and distinguishable.

Fang Yu was originally standing alone in the middle of the crowd. Seeing that Sun Chuanting and the others didn't seem to have the intention to stand up for a while, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So I simply knelt down with them... Anyway, it was Teacher Pan above, so there was no harm in kneeling down for my mother!

It doesn't feel good to stand out from the crowd, and there is also a saying that the first bird is shot, and it is not a good thing to let everyone know who he is.

Fang Yu knew that in Laishui County, there were countless bandits, horse bandits, and remnants of the Beggar Clan who were secretly watching him.

Fang Yu listened to their calls to worship "Ms. Pan" and looked at the dark heads on both sides of the river. He couldn't help but feel happy: I wonder if Teacher Pan would be furious when he saw this scene?

Before, her "god status" was only circulated in the camp and among a few people, so she already felt very uncomfortable.

In Teacher Pan's original words, "There is always a feeling that I am taking the lead in committing fraud."

Today, there were 5000 people by the river who actually saw her perform "miracles". Even if Fang Yu's face is as thick as a city wall, he will never be able to say things like "Teacher Pan and I are also ordinary people" and "We are all the same". Mortal" words.

Not to mention the "sea-fixing needle" used to dredge the river before, there is also this white river hanging brightly in the air, which can be seen clearly even from dozens of miles away!
Well... even in the 21st century, even if the "Into Science" program team comes, they can't explain it clearly.

In short, after what happened today, Teacher Pan...uh, no!In the eyes of Laishui County and the people of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Pan is truly "stable in her divine status".

It won't be long before the entire Baoding Prefecture and the entire Ming Dynasty will know what happened by the Juma River today.

Moreover, with so many big shots here today to testify, Pan Niangniang’s reputation will definitely be recorded in the history books and passed down through the ages...even if she wants to, she won’t be able to let it go!
Fang Yu knelt in the middle absent-mindedly, while senior high school students, the security team and others, as well as Sun Chuanting, Queen Zhang and others saw that Fang Shenzi (gongzi) also knelt down next to them. Some panic flashed in their hearts: they did not dare to fight with Fang Shenzi. The Son of God (Master) maintains the same posture.

What can be done then?

It could only be lower than Fang Shenzi, so they all pressed their waists down with all their strength, half of their bodies lying on the ground...

Well, now Sun Chuanting and the people under Queen Zhang are in trouble again.

They don't dare to maintain the same posture as the Governor (the Queen), but now they can't lower themselves any lower. If they could, they really wanted to bury themselves in the soil!
