be like patching something up haphazardly – it wouldn't hold for long.Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor set up an array outside the Southeast Corner Dharma Gate and instructed the mountain gods and land...I can't believe anything could challenge him, let alone put himself in danger.
"What happened He was detained" I asked.
Liang Xiaoguo let out a "Huh" and quickly shook his head. "Impossible! Who would dare detain the Wuzhang Lord from our territory He's the God King who commands all tribes!"
I scoffed. God King Pfft...
Liang Xiaogē came closer to me and whispered, "Little Princess... ah, no, Jiaoyi, you shouldn't have a vague understanding of us, right Didn't the Witch King introduce you"
“This ghost I’m introducing is really bad at chatting! He only answers my questions with one syllable. It’s impossible to have a real conversation with him!” I complained.
Liang Xiaoguo chuckled twice: "Normal, normal. The King of Witches doesn't like to talk much... Let me give you a simple rundown"
This Wen Jialiang should be in frequent contact with the outside world, and his way of speaking is more communicative. Besides, he introduced himself as only in his early twenties, so there wasn't much barrier in our conversation.
He told me some basic information.
I originally thought Mu Wanchen was like a tribal chief, whose territory was just what could be seen—anyway, no matter how big the territory, it belonged to the country!
That place wasn't an ordinary world at all. In the watershed of that dense river, a massive magical barrier protected a paradise-like parallel space.
People who have thrived there for generations!
Moreover, just the Wuzhi Mountain city had tens of thousands of people, and in the upper and lower reaches there were many tribes and villages scattered around.
Small ones consist of hundreds, less than a thousand people; large ones are like entire villages, with thousands of households and tens of thousands of people.
These scattered villages and fortified settlements number over a hundred, with a population of over 400,000!
My jaw nearly dropped, four hundred thousand In that desolate area, that's the level of a prefecture-level city.
"So, you are the one who manages all these people"
Liang Xiaogé pouted and nodded, "That's right... I'm worried to death. These tribal villages come to us for anything that goes wrong. This time, when there's a natural disaster, they all come flocking to the Wuzhuang City for refuge! Because only our God King's magical powers can stabilize the city!"
Solid... I recalled when Mu Wanchen pulled me out of the snake pit, those countless vines intertwining into a net. I started to believe he could contend with the forces of nature.
Liang Xiaoguo curled his lips in disdain and said, "They're all troublesome on a daily basis. Once something happens, they start calling for the divine king, this and that. It's really annoying to deal with them!"
"Um... how big is the entire Michi River Is it self-sufficient" I asked with uncertainty.
"How big is it" Liang Xiaoguo tilted his head and thought for a moment: "According to the elders, the river is 500 miles long east-west and up to 300 miles long north-south..."
I quickly calculated, five hundred li is two hundred and fifty kilometers, three hundred li is one hundred and fifty kilometers, length times width is... thirty-seven thousand and five hundred square kilometers.
It is larger than Hainan Island.
I'm speechless, a bit embarrassed.
Maybe the actual area isn't that large, but this size is still amazing and refreshing my perception.
Originally, that idyllic paradise wasn't a small village, but a vast world inhabited by many people.
“…then you said there was danger, what kind of danger”
"Word came from the village upstream that days of torrential rain and landslides had created a lake in the upper reaches, with water constantly pouring in. It was feared the dam would burst, putting many downstream villages, which were built along the riverbank, at risk! There are already plenty of people seeking refuge. If these villages are destroyed, how many refugees will our Wuzhuang Mountain City have to support We simply can't afford it! That's why Lord Wuzhuang took a team to address the crisis." Liang Xiaogé replied.
Handling risks
"Do you have engineering vehicles Do you have high-achieving graduates from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology" I asked.
"What is it" As expected, Liang Xiaoge looked completely confused.
"How do you rescue people from disaster Just with manpower"
"Hehehe... We're not ordinary people... We have the power of all living beings. It's beyond your imagination." He puffed out his chest proudly. "We're definitely much faster than ordinary people at rescuing people."
I truly can't imagine... the word "witch," it never appeared in my mind before, now it pops up every day.
"Don't worry, Jiao Ai. The Wuzhang is more worried about you than anyone else. He’s too busy to come himself, so he sent me to look after you." Even Liang Xiaoguo comforted me in turn.
I'm a little sad, I went to help with the disaster relief and saw some heartbreaking scenes. I wanted to do my best to help, but I couldn't do anything. Instead, I was drugged and almost got killed!
Falling into Mu Wanchen's hands, it wasn't that bad... At least I'm safely sitting at home now.
Perhaps I could help them too, partly out of curiosity and partly… well, I also want to help him a bit, cough.
"... Perhaps I could give you some emergency rations."
"Really! That's great!" Liang Xiaoge's eyes lit up when he heard about food.
The rooms on either side of my front door used to be guest rooms, once used to accommodate patients. In recent decades, they haven't been used because everyone goes to regular hospitals for treatment now.
Little Brother Liang settled in very well. He had food and lodging, and he didn't pick on anything.
I called a classmate, Tang Yufie. Her family runs a logistics company. When she heard I needed a car, she was taken aback.
"Yin Luo, are you joking You're borrowing a car to come to my house My car is a big truck! Are you going on a date with a truck Isn't that a little too out there"
“...."I need a truck, for disaster relief." I was speechless. "Who would borrow a truck for a date Are you putting a bed in the cargo hold!"
"Hey! That's a great idea! It's a business opportunity!" she said with a chuckle. "Are you going to the disaster area to do some charity work I'll go with you, no problem. Cars are easy, we can get however many we need!"
"...What are you doing Don't cause trouble for the people in the disaster area."
"Me causing trouble Heh heh, young lady, do you have a driver's license Without my family's chauffeur, are you going to drive with your mind"
Well, I didn't expect this question.
After I set a time with her, she went to arrange the car and route. I drafted in the yard for half a day and then ran to find Brother Jun.
Loan some money.
When his brother heard that I wanted to borrow money, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much"
"Just... maybe a couple of million" I felt guilty as hell. There's no way I could pay back that much, so I'd have to get my dad to cover it!
"Crack!" Junior Master closed the medical book. "A few million What are you planning"
"It's nothing... I just want to buy some tents and food to support the disaster area."
Jun shidi narrowed his eyes and looked at me: "Little junior sister, why are you blushing"ppear in the water."Little junior sister, you shouldn't have come."The elder sister stood by the closed door, speaking in a low voice using our hometown dialect.Dialect.She isn't from our hometown, bu...
