Seeing everyone looking at him, Feng Yi said slowly: "As long as the Yellow River is in danger of bursting its banks, things like life sacrifices will not disappear.
This time we can save the boss's children and escort them away, but what about the remaining people? Will they stop this behavior? It's nothing more than two children from other families sent to death.
Even if the people in this village are no longer ignorant, will similar things happen in other places?
Nowadays, the country is not strong enough, and floods are difficult to control. People live on water. Relocation is a simple word, but it is extremely difficult for them. They have no way to prevent natural disasters, and this man-made disaster will happen again.
So, the root of the problem still lies in the river, do you understand?"
Everyone thought carefully about Feng Yi's words, and then suddenly understood.
Saving the boss's family and even helping the village is just a temporary solution. If we want to completely cure the root cause, we must solve the flood problem in the Yellow River.
But solving flood problems is not an easy task. Throughout the ages, many emperors and capable men and generals have worked hard throughout their lives, but still to no avail.
Not to mention now, even in the 21st century with advanced technology and people's livelihood, such things have not disappeared.
In the face of natural disasters, manpower is so insignificant.
But in the end, Feng Yi's mood became increasingly heavy. It was too difficult to change all this, and he couldn't do it.
Think about it, there are many capable people and generals who are smarter and more knowledgeable than him. Can he think of things that others can't think of?
There is still no way to cure it.
An unspeakable feeling of powerlessness came over me, a feeling of powerlessness that rarely occurs anymore.
It seems that the effect will be better only when the country is strong, the industry is strong, and science and technology are advanced.
Seeing that Feng Yi didn't speak again for a long time and had a solemn expression, Ren Tingting, who was familiar with him, took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't think so much, solve the immediate problem first and save the child."
"Well, I know, Xiao Ke, go and invite the boss to talk to you."
Feng nodded and responded.
Seeing the boss, Feng Yi took the initiative to express his intention to save people. The boss of Liushenwuzhu could only place his hope on Feng Yi and tell the whole story. It was not much different from what Ren Zhuzhu said, just a supplement.
A few details, such as the time and place of the living sacrifice, etc.
It is no different now than before. In the past, local officials were indifferent to this, and some even openly supported such things for their own safety. It is different now. Such ignorant ideas are not accepted. Even the battle to found the country was won.
Now, what else can’t be done?
Man can conquer heaven!
Therefore, the ceremony must be carried out secretly and in a sparsely populated location.
"Brother, I could tell from the first time I met you that you are no ordinary person. You must have great abilities."
The boss said with a grateful face: "I'm very grateful that you are willing to help, but the village rules are strict. Since the last incident, they have brought guys with them during the ceremony. You must protect yourself and don't rush
act.”
"Don't worry, brother, I know this well."
After Feng Yi agreed, he asked: "You said that the life sacrifice will be held tonight. Did you get the news in advance?"
"Isn't this true? They even took away their children secretly, so how could they notify us, including the other family who was selected?"
The boss looked sad and said: "I heard from the staff monitoring the water area that there will be a heavy rain tonight, and with the current river water level, it is very likely that the first river embankment will be breached.
And once the first river embankment is breached, our village will be in danger.
I know this news, and I think other people in the village also know it, and they knew it earlier than me, otherwise they wouldn't have taken away the child and the wet nurse yesterday."
"Okay, I already know the matter. Brother, please relax and calm down your sister-in-law. Don't talk nonsense. I will try to bring the child back safely tonight."
Feng Yi didn't make his words too serious, not because he didn't have confidence, but mainly because he was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him.
"Well, thank you in advance, brother."
The boss tried to kneel down, but Feng Yi grabbed him. After struggling for a few times, he wiped his red eyes and said, "Brother, I'm not very good at saying nice things, but as long as you can bring the child back, you can
Let us do whatever we want!”
"Let's talk about it then."
Feng Yi patted the boss on the back and said, "Brother, I'm afraid you haven't slept all night. You're in a terrible state. Go get some rest."
"Why."
The boss felt grateful again, then turned and left.
"Brother-in-law, you tell us what to do, and we all listen to you."
Ren Zhuzhu jumped up from the chair and said.
"It's just a hundred ordinary people. There shouldn't be any problems. I can handle it on my own. It's raining so hard outside. You should stay indoors for now. If anything else happens, I will notify you as soon as possible.
."
Feng Yi looked at everyone and said.
Everyone wanted to do something, but they all knew Feng Yi's strength and his character of telling the truth, and no one refuted it.
Ren Tingting said softly from the side: "Don't worry, I will take good care of everyone."
"Well, just wait until I come back."
Feng Yi patted the back of Ren Tingting's hand, turned around and walked out.
It was almost evening at this time. There were overcast clouds outside, and the continuous rain was like pouring water from a basin from the sky. There were large and small puddles everywhere on the ground. Along with the omnipresent fog, it was impossible to see clearly, but it was faintly visible.
Hear the sound of the roaring water lapping against the banks.
With a slight jump, Feng Yi broke into the heavy rain, and the aura in his body enveloped him, as if a protective shield had been opened to isolate him from the world, and the rain could not penetrate even a little bit.
First, we observed the situation near the river bank. Countless young soldiers braved the pouring rain and stacked bags of sandbags one after another on the river embankment like a relay race. During this period, some people fainted and some staggered, but soon some people
Fill in the position.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yi was very sad. The most lovable person has never changed no matter what time or place.
But they worked so hard to build the dam, and yet there was a group of ignorant people performing life sacrifices on the other side. Comparing the two, I really don't know what to say.
With a sigh, Feng Yi changed his trajectory in the air and flew towards a hillside.
It's said to be a hillside, but it's actually a small mountain. It's just that the whole mountain is covered with a thick layer of loess. It looks just like a hillside on weekdays. It's been raining heavily these past few days, and the loess on the mountain has turned into paste. The mountain road
It was extremely muddy, and the original rocks had been exposed in some places.
This hill is a bit far away from the village. It is in a remote location and is blocked by other peaks. It is sparsely populated on weekdays, so it is very hidden and does not attract anyone's attention.
However, there is a place on the top of this hill that stands out. Directly below is the rushing river, which is the place where life sacrifices are held.
