Immediately, Yi controlled the spiritual beasts and carried a large amount of rice straight to the imperial capital, but he did not know that this was a farewell. Because Yi claimed that the discovery and cultivation of rice were all his achievements, not the work of Dayu.
Emperor Shun paid great attention to him and allowed him to engage in farming work in the area, which also made Yida very happy.
Of course, Yi did not forget his purpose and informed Emperor Shun of the water control blueprint. Emperor Shun was also very interested and even left the imperial capital and came to Yushan to see Dayu.
In Yushan, people hold the powder made by grinding rice. Although the glutinous texture is not as solid as other grains, fortunately, it can satisfy people's hunger, and the yield of rice is pretty good, which can also offset other grains.
.
"Dayu, what are you thinking about?"
"Well, Ji is here? Come and sit down."
In the past half year, although Yu was still so humble and courteous to others, the aura he had accumulated unintentionally still made Ji feel intimidated. It was the aura of a person who was born to be in power. Although it could not reach the imperial aura of Emperor Yao, it still made people feel afraid.
Fear. Just like the people under his command, even though he is humble and polite, they are naturally afraid of him.
"Dayu, I will do it myself."
As soon as Ji sat down, Dayu reached out to fill a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Ji. Ling Ji hurriedly took it, feeling a sense of warmth in his heart.
A bowl of hot soup only comes from water. After Dayu came, people's living habits changed. They no longer drank cold water, but switched to drinking hot water. Even in the dog days of summer, Dayu also
They were forced to drink hot water. To them, cold water contained poisonous insects, which would cause abdominal discomfort and lead to serious diseases.
As for whether there were insects in the cold water, they were not very sure, but after drinking hot water, there were indeed many fewer patients. This was obvious to everyone, and they all admired Dayu.
"Does Ji still not understand what I am worried about? Are you hiding your stupidity in front of me?"
Dayu smiled slightly and turned over the fire with his hand. The temperature inside the cave gradually increased. Although he could live in a thatched house outside the cave, he preferred this square cave. Firstly, it was convenient to get water, and secondly, he wanted to protect the safety of the spring.
.
Although the people at this time were simple and simple, they had to prevent poisonous insects from taking over and infecting the water source with their toxins. As for collecting water from the rivers, it was necessary to be prepared for attacks by wild beasts, which was very labor intensive. That’s why Dayu found this cave and found it.
This water source can meet everyone's daily needs.
"Or Falling Dragon Valley?"
"Yes, there is probably an evil beast lurking in the Falling Dragon Valley. If we rashly dig up Xiaolong Mountain, we might provoke that evil beast. With our strength? Hey, we might not be able to fight against it. This is why I have been so late
The reason why no order was given.”
"Then why don't you tell Emperor Shun about this? Just ask him to send strong men from the human race to kill that evil beast?"
"It's easier said than done? Only if Emperor Shun comes in person can he feel that evil beast? Ordinary people can't kill it."
"Why is this?"
Ji did not feel the aura of the evil beast. If not for Dayu's determination, they would have dug up Xiaolong Mountain long ago. Since the water system of the Falling Dragon Valley flows eastward, it will slow down the water volume in the Falling Dragon Valley in order to complete the eastward diversion project.
thing.
However, although Ji did not feel the evil beast, he believed Dayu's words very much. During the past six months, Dayu was always extremely certain that it must be the result of the real existence, so everyone evacuated from the Falling Dragon Valley.
, but has not yet followed the plan.
"Dayu, Dayu, the people discovered that the rice was edible, but it was poisoned."
Just when Dayu and Ji were frowning, a member of the public came in a hurry and looked at the two of them with a horrified look. This greatly confused the two of them, and they secretly thought in their hearts: Is this people crazy?
It is indeed edible. This is known to everyone. Why is this person so frightened? Since rice is said to be poisonous?
"No, Dayu, the food I'm talking about is different from what we usually eat. Well, you guys come with me to see it."
Seeing the confused expressions on Dayu and Ji's faces, the citizen also couldn't explain clearly and hurriedly asked them to take a look together.
"Let's go."
Dayu and Ji got up and followed the people outside. At this time, many people had come after hearing the news. They saw people surrounding the front of a thatched house, and a burst of noise spread around.
"Hey, does this stuff smell so good?"
"Yes, yes, it's much better than rice flour."
"Yes, I want to take a bite too."
"Er Gou, you are a greedy bastard. Don't act recklessly. Didn't you see that San Wa and the others seemed to be poisoned? When Dayu comes over, if you take a bite and die, when you get to King Yama, don't say anything about us.
I didn’t advise you.”
"Dayu is coming, Dayu is coming, get out of the way."
When the people leading the way saw everyone gathered in front of the thatched house, they hurriedly shouted loudly, causing everyone to get out of the way.
Seeing the crowd, Dayu and Ji also frowned and hurriedly walked to the front of the thatched house. They looked at the trembling people in the house, obviously very panicked.
"Dayu, please forgive me for my sins. I accidentally left the rice in the pottery. I didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, but I never stopped Sanwa and the others before they ate it.
After that, they felt sore and swollen alone, and asked Dayu to save them."
"Min, it's better to get up quickly and show us."
Dayu didn't understand what he was hearing. He frowned slightly and helped the man up. This man was always cautious, and he was very attentive to water control. He was by no means a reckless person. This man was panicking at the moment. Dayu also hurriedly helped him up.
The person walked into the house with this person.
"It smells good, what is it?"
A burst of aroma hit his nostrils, and Ling Ji's eyes lit up. He hurriedly looked at the slightly yellowed rice in the clay pot, stepped forward to the front of the clay pot, and then said in surprise: "Dayu, is it rice? You use water
Cooked? Can this thing be cooked? People, are you wasting food?"
As Ji's words came out, the people immediately knelt down on the ground. Among the tribes, this waste of food was a big deal, and the crime should be beheaded. But among the water control tribes, due to lack of food and clothing, this food
It was even more precious. If he was really convicted of wasting food, even killing him ten times would not be enough, not to mention Sanwa and the others, who were lying on the ground groaning, not knowing what kind of poison they were poisoned with.
"Ji, don't talk nonsense."
Dayu stepped forward and took out the yellow-white rice directly from the clay pot. After chewing it, a refreshing sweetness slowly came from his throat, wandered around his body, and gradually flowed into his belly.
, which made Dayu involuntarily reach out again, take out a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth.
"Dayu, is it not poisonous?"
Everyone knows that Dayu's body is immune to five poisons, so there is no worry that Dayu will be poisoned.
"It's not poisonous, Ji. You should try it too. It tastes really good."
Dayu glanced at the pottery pot reluctantly, then spoke to Ji, then walked to the three babies and stepped forward to check their physical condition.
