What Long Qian said was true. In a short period of time, he could persevere. If he lived like this every day, then he felt that it would be better to die.
Thinking about that water, he felt like he wanted to die, but there was no way. He was so thirsty that he couldn't help it. What else could he do besides drinking?
After hearing this, Long Lin smiled and nodded.
"Badi, do you think it's easy to die? Why don't you give it a try and try the taste of death?"
"Hehe... forget it, I'd better live. A good man must stand upright even if he dies. How can he die by being a coward?"
Long Qian's words were righteous, but there was no hint of wanting to die in his eyes.
After hearing this, Long Lin smiled bitterly and turned his head.
He could easily put his hand into the cracks in the ground. In such a drought, even the tenacious grass would not be able to survive.
Eating grass is easy, but the prerequisite is that there is grass to eat. If there is no grass, then it is useless to eat grass.
The focus now is whether it rains or not. People here have no choice but to relocate.
The old man is right. The court's food supply is limited. Now there is a war, and food is even more scarce. If there is no rain, the food needed by the people here will definitely be a huge amount. It cannot be given away once. , but until the next year’s grain grows.
Without rain, the people had no choice but to wait for food from the court, without even having any grass to eat.
He also wanted to ensure that the people had food and clothing without worries, but now he saw how difficult it would be for the people once a natural disaster occurred in the place where they lived.
The sun was scorching fiercely, and the ground was desolate.
Long Lin squatted in the dry field, his expression full of misery. Faintly, he felt in his heart that if it didn't rain, he felt like he wouldn't be able to survive.
Seeing such a dry and cracked scene in front of him, he deeply understood the purpose of saving water. When there is no water and he can only drink water filled with sediment, he will probably be able to clearly understand how precious water is.
"Long Lin, a large group of officials are coming from a distance, and behind them are a large number of people."
Hearing Jade Butterfly's voice, Long Lin turned back and looked into the distance.
There is indeed a large group of people walking towards them. The people in front are obviously officials, wearing official clothes. Behind them are the officers and soldiers from the government, and behind them are a large group of common people. old man.
Seeing these people, Long Lin felt helpless.
He came here quietly just to take a look at the situation first. The current situation was much more serious than he thought.
The local officials did not lie, and the situation they described was definitely not alarmist. It was even more serious than what they said.
I think those officials came here to reduce the pressure on the court. Under the current circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to mobilize food here.
A large amount of food must be transported with the army. Compared with the war, the people here must consider the war first.
When people have no food, they can still think of ways to survive. At most, there will be a large number of refugees, begging everywhere in order to survive.
But if the war cannot be won, the consequences will be even more serious.
Thinking of this, Long Lin felt upset. The war was inevitable, but the people here were also the people of the Long Dynasty. Naturally, they were also very important. However, the Long Dynasty, which was already short of food, simply There is no way.
The only feasible way is to ask for rain to solve the problem here.
The leading official, with the people behind him, ran all the way to the nearby place and took a closer look.
The official immediately knelt down.
"The official led the government officials and all the people nearby to see the Dragon King and His Highness the Eighth Prince. For the sake of the people of Anzhou, the Dragon King came here specifically to pray for rain for the people. The official is grateful. I hope the Dragon King can move the world and save the people.
Please save the countless people in Anzhou."
As the official's voice fell, a large number of people knelt down directly. Their expressions were all staring at Long Lin with burning eyes.
"Ah... it's really the Dragon King, it's really His Highness the Dragon King of the imperial court. The Dragon King is here. Everyone is saved. As long as the Dragon King speaks, it will definitely rain. Everyone, please kneel down, kowtow to the Dragon King, and beg the Dragon King."
Give us rain."
After hearing what the official said, a common man immediately shouted loudly in the crowd. This shout made countless common people kneel down at once, their eyes full of excitement.
It was as if the person they saw was not a person at all, but a real Dragon King, a person who could really make it rain for them.
Naturally, Long Lin and others could hear such mixed shouts clearly.
Long Qian couldn't help but want to laugh, so he turned his head away, not wanting his smiling face to be seen by these people.
Even Yudie couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Wasn't this because she was in a hurry and sought medical treatment? Did she really regard Long Lin as the Dragon King? He was just a person. What ability did he have to make it rain?
Only Long Lin looked very calm.
These people obviously really hope that he can bring rain to the local area. The importance of rain now is probably very clear to everyone.
He could also understand why this was the case.
Every emperor in the imperial court called himself the True Dragon Emperor, who was instructed by God to rule all the people from a high position.
In the eyes of the people, the emperor of the imperial court was like a god, unattainable and supreme.
He was named the Dragon King, also from the mouth of the emperor, and what is the Dragon King? Isn't it a person who specializes in making rain?
At this time, a Dragon King appeared. In the hearts of the people, that was the meaning of God. He was specially sent by God to bring rain to them. He was the savior of the people and the only hope in their minds.
I'm afraid that official is already exhausted.
Only then could the people be informed of the matters arranged by the court, and the people could be confident in waiting for his arrival and the rain.
Long Lin was very satisfied with this governor.
The governor had already been burnt black by the scorching sun, and his whole body was not clean at all. It was full of dust and filth. I am afraid that he had already thought of countless ways to deal with these people.
"My lords, fellow villagers and elders, please get up. I came here and I believe that the sky will definitely rain heavily. As long as we all work together, we will be able to move the sky and rain down a heavy rain that will not stop for several days."
Faced with this situation, what else can Long Lin say?
He can't say that he is just one person and cannot make it rain. I'm afraid that even if he says so now, these people won't believe it. Now these people only believe that he can bring rain to the local area.
When the official heard this, he immediately showed joy, waved his hand, and everyone behind him slowly stood up.
"Everyone has heard it. The Dragon King has said that it will definitely rain. Now we follow the Dragon King's arrangements and wait for the heavy rain."
After these words fell, they were immediately greeted by the cheers of countless people.
"It's up to you, sir. We will be obedient and cooperate."
"Sir, as long as it rains, His Highness the Dragon King will be a living Dragon King. From now on, the people of Anzhou will worship His Highness the Dragon King Long Lin for generations to come."
"Sir, please ask the Dragon King, what should we do?"
...
After hearing this, the official nodded with a smile and turned around. His smile disappeared instantly. He knew very well that the Dragon King was Long Lin, and Long Lin was a human being. How could he have the ability to pray for rain? How could he definitely do it?
rain?
Now the matter is serious. If it doesn't rain, these people will be angry and won't let Long Lin leave easily.
