I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 145 The Thief of Water

After the graduation ceremony, Xia Qingdai took Xia Shanglu's car home.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Shanglu had to rush back to the office for duty. For grassroots police officers, it is naturally impossible to have a complete May Day holiday!
When Xia Qingdai returned home, she did not open her schoolbag immediately to study the questions. Instead, she went back to her room and lay on the edge of the glass jar overlooking the castle.

Originally I just glanced at it out of habit. It was the second half of the night in the castle, and I usually entered a "non-still picture", but tonight it was a little strange, something was not right.

Sure enough, Xia Qingdai's intuition was accurate. Not long after, she saw a few black shadows suddenly appearing on the edge of the glass jar, holding something unknown in their hands, approaching the castle furtively.

"Hey, what are they going to do?"

She whispered to herself, a little confused.

The leading figure ran the fastest. After reaching the corner of the castle, he poked his head around and waved to the people behind him, probably to invite the people behind him to come up together.

Xia Qingdai suddenly realized that this was probably not a group of thieves!
However, these thieves are too courageous. Are they coming in groups to steal? !
Xia Qingdai silently looked at the small black shadows like ants underneath and counted them. Not counting the "tails" she couldn't see outside the glass tank, there were fifty-two people in line now!

The people in this circle were dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes, much worse than the servants in the castle. It was obvious that they were all lower-class people.

But no matter how poor you are, you can't come and steal things from my castle!

Now is the time when the bloody code is in power and theft is a serious crime. Are these people so lawless?

Xia Qingdai was already planning to take action. She looked around and took a classical round fan with ancient people printed on it that was just given out in the class today, intending to give these little people a little bit of evil spirit.

But the next second, she realized that she didn't need to do anything, the castle was already prepared!
I saw this group of sneaky people. As soon as they came to the backyard and approached the water tank, they were surrounded by a group of people rushing out of the darkness.

Xia Qingdai put her ear close to the glass and listened to the servant below.

The leader is none other than the butler David, a veteran who was discharged from the army last year!

Just listen to David shout: "You are so brave, you actually dare to come to my Fucui Villa to steal water!"

"Everyone, leave now, we've been discovered!"

When the leader saw someone blocking the darkness, he knew they were waiting for them! He turned around and wanted to escape, but the scene suddenly turned into a chaotic mess of wolves and pigs running around.

It turned out to be a group of thieves who wanted to steal the mineral water she put down. Why did they even steal the water?
Xia Qingdai felt a little confused.

What is there to steal about water? Do a group of poor farmers still care about the cleanliness of the water? Can't help but have evil thoughts when you see mineral water? It shouldn't be.

Seeing that the two sides were fighting and even bleeding, Xia Qingdai quickly shouted to stop. As a result, no one was listening, and she suddenly realized that no one except Owen could hear her.

She quickly used her fan to fan the little people fighting in the melee, making them all unsteady and unable to fight anymore.

At the same time, she was still calling Owen. Owen, who heard the noise below, had already finished dressing and was standing at the corridor window on the second floor overlooking the backyard.

When he heard Xia Qingdai shouting, he opened the window and responded to Xia Qingdai.

The valet Jack next to him cleverly lit the oil lamps on the surrounding walls one by one.

Just now, I didn't light the oil lamp just to hide myself. Now that Mr. Owen has taken the initiative to open the window and shout, of course, he must light the oil lamp to draw more attention in the dark night.

Xia Qingdai stopped fanning and asked Owen who was at the window on the second floor of the castle: "Tell them to stop first and examine why they came to steal water."

Does this still require a trial? This is obvious. Owen immediately replied: "Because there is a lack of water outside, the lake has dried up."

"Ah? Is there a drought?" Xia Qingdai said she was shocked. She didn't realize that the drought was coming quietly!

After all, the castle is under her care, so there is no need to face any difficulties. Outside the castle, her field of vision was limited and she couldn't see!

"Yes, the water in East Lake has dried up, and there is no water left in the well." Owen replied again.

"Oh my God." Xia Qingdai whispered after hearing this.

If someone steals treasure, it is his sin; if someone steals water, it is the world's sin.

The poor man probably couldn't survive. He heard that there was water in Fucui Villa, so he came to steal it!

"Let me tell you, there is no need to shout or kill those who steal water. Let them all go back. It will rain tonight."

Xia Qingdai decided to bring artificial rainfall to the castle!
"Rain?" Owen had just seen Xia Qingdai holding a fan and blowing the wind downwards. Now when he heard her say it would rain, he quickly reacted and was not surprised.

He bowed slightly and said to Xia Qingdai, "Thank you."

Xia Qingdai put away the fan and said, "Go and deal with it. I will prepare the rain soon."

"Okay, as you command."

Xia Qingdai's face left the clouds. Owen silently looked down at the people below and suddenly raised his voice: "Those of you who have brought buckets, each of you can bring a bucket of water and leave."

"Sir, we don't have much water." David was anxious. With such a small amount of water, he didn't even have enough water in his castle. After all, in addition to people eating horse chews, there are also large fields, orchards, and farms to take care of!

Owen said calmly: "No problem, this is God's will."

When the group of water thieves heard that Owen said that they could each carry a bucket of water and leave, their faces turned red with excitement!
Mr. Owen is really the kindest gentleman in the whole country. No wonder people say that his manor is protected by God. No wonder the water here is always flowing!
One by one, they dropped the wooden sticks in their hands, knelt down with a bang, and thanked Owen with tears in their eyes.

The people who were far away did not hear what Owen said, but just knelt down blindly along with the people in front, raising their hands in surrender.

Owen's expression remained normal and he said, "You don't have to thank me, it's God who wants to take care of you. I, the God of Fucui Villa, will give you rain tonight."

"God is merciful!"

"Thank God!"

"Please forgive my sin!"

The outsiders were lining up below, and when they walked to the water tank to fetch water under David's fierce gaze, Xia Qingdai had already dug out the spray bottle used for disinfection at home and was trying the size of the water mist in the bathroom.

Although this watering can can only hold a bottle of water, the water mist it sprays is relatively delicate.

If Xia Qingdai directly watered the green plants with a bucket, it would probably be like a flood from the sky! Maybe it can kill the villain directly. The water droplets as big as beans plus the acceleration of gravity should be more powerful than hail!
Choosing to use this kind of watering can is much more perfect. For people in Lilliput, the water mist is almost like ordinary light rain.

It's just that Xia Qingdai has to keep pressing with her fingers, which will make her a little tired.
