The torrential rain continued for three days and three nights before it showed signs of easing.
The commoners went out one after another, their faces filled with joy as they shouted " Long live!" to express their admiration for Young Master Yuan Huan!
It was him, the one who disregarded all opposition and wanted to complete the laying of the pipeline in the shortest time possible, even if the dust was flying everywhere.
He was the one who built the town boldly and decisively. He did not need the people to spend a single cent to repair their houses.
Without him, perhaps they would once again face the tragic situation of their homes being destroyed and their families being separated!
At this moment, they could stand on the street and feel the fresh air after the rain because of Young Master Yuan Huan's dedication to the people!
Suddenly, the commoners seemed to have received a response from the heavens. They went home one after another, took out their treasured wine, newly caught fish, and even food that they had been reluctant to eat, and rushed to the same place on the streets!
At this moment, it was already crowded, so much so that not even water could leak out.
Dian Wei and Zhou Tai were leading the personal guards and the army to evacuate the civilians in order. However, how could the civilians leave? They had yet to see the Grand Master Yuan Huan!
" Let us in. If it wasn't for the houses that Young Master built for us, I'm afraid that my family would have died."
"Young Master Yuan has built Xiacai so well. We used to oppose him laying the pipeline. We're simply inhumane! Please, let us in and thank Young Master Yuan in person!”
"That's right! That's right! If not for Young Master Yuan, who knows what would have happened to the flood this time! I don't have anything good at home. I just caught these two fish. They are very fresh. I'll make fish soup for Young Master Yuan!”
“......”
An old man with white hair and beard, who was over seventy years old, stood at the entrance of the county government with a walking stick and shouted,"I'm 73 years old this year. I've lived for most of my life and have experienced countless floods. It's normal for my wife and children to be separated and my family to be destroyed!
However, this time, I deeply feel that the heavens have eyes and blessings have descended. Xiacai has not been affected by the flood. The people of this county are safe and sound because of Young Master Yuan's credit. We only want to personally pay a visit to Young Master Yuan to express our gratitude. Why are you stopping us?”
Dian Wei, this rough man, was an expert at killing enemies, but he had no way to deal with these pious commoners. He could only mumble,"Master, I'm also following orders. You can't make things difficult for me!”
The old man hit the ground with his walking stick again and again, making loud clangs. He said angrily,"You idiot, why are you so unreasonable? This old man has been talking to you for so long. Don't you know how to make an exception?”
Looking at the group of commoners behind the old man who wished they could squeeze out the door, he could only chuckle. Was this a situation that could be accommodated? If the commoners followed his footsteps and swarmed forward, wouldn't they trample him to death?
"Sigh! You idiot!" The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Dian Wei. He wished he could pick up his walking stick and beat him up!
"I hope you understand." Dian Wei still didn't make any concessions.
"Humph! Stupid! What a good-for-nothing!" The old man was still unwilling to let it go and looked extremely angry.
At this moment, the gates of the county government opened and Zhang Zhao walked out. He bowed to the commoners and said,"Everyone, Young Master Yuan has caught a cold and is unable to accept your thanks. He has ordered me to apologize to everyone!”
After saying that, Zhang Zhao bowed deeply and stood up to continue,"Young Master Yuan once told me that being an official is not to be superior to others, but to be like a servant, using the power in your hands to seek the well-being of the people and serve the people.
Therefore, Young Master Yuan didn't feel that he had done anything for everyone to be so grateful for. Everything was done by the county government. Everyone should go back!”
"Lord Zhang, is Young Master Yuan seriously ill?" The old man asked anxiously. Are you okay?"
Zhang Zhao let out a long sigh." Actually, it's nothing much. I was just caught in a heavy rain. It's just an ordinary cold. I'll be fine after some rest. Elder Li, don't worry."”
The old man was one of the Three Elders of the Lower Cai, Elder Li!
Only then did Old Man Li relax. He bowed and said,"Lord Zhang, what do you think? Since Young Master Yuan has caught a cold, we won't go in. However, these things represent everyone's sincerity. Young Master Yuan must accept them. Otherwise, we won't be able to feel at ease!”
Everyone immediately agreed,"Yes! Accept it, you must accept it!"
Zhang Zhao pondered for a long time before bowing back and saying,"Since that's the case, we'll accept that thing! You Ping!"
"I'm here!" Zhou Tai replied.
Zhang Zhao instructed.
"Yes!" Zhou Tai cupped his fists.
"Lord Zhang, we still have food at home. We don't need the county government to open the granary to release food. We can still endure until the harvest.”
Old Man Li quickly replied.
"Haha! "Then eat more every day, especially if you have children at home. The children are growing. How can you not eat your fill? Just listen to me and bring the food home. Let's get through this period of time safely, okay?"”
Zhang Zhao comforted.
"Sigh! In that case, this is the only way!" Old Man Li let out a long sigh and turned around to face the people." Villagers, let's put down our things. When there's a chance in the future, we'll come and thank Young Master again!”
When the commoners heard this, they all dispersed!
Dian Wei and Zhou Tai sent people to collect the gifts on the ground. It took them six hours to collect all of them. When they piled up, they were like a small mountain, which was extremely shocking.
As the commoners dispersed, a woman came to the Xiacai Dungeon with a basket slung over her shoulder.
Wang Lan was also very angry at first, but after seeing the changes in Xiacai, she gradually changed her opinion of Yuan Huan. She even told Zhang Liao about the changes in Xiacai, hoping to change his mind.
Of course, Zhang Liao resisted, but slowly, he got used to listening to Wang Lan tell him stories about the outside world. Wang Lan even felt that Zhang Liao was not as resistant to Yuan Huan as before.
Things were developing steadily!
"You! Just let it be. Sooner or later, it would delay her!”Wang Lan said angrily," Eat, eat, eat quickly. I'll come and see you later!”
"What, are you leaving already?" Zhang Liao asked.
Wang Lan paused and turned around." If you really care about us, then surrender!"”
