The golden eagle flew such a long distance this time that it must be exhausted.
Su Qianqian landed once halfway through the journey to let the golden eagle rest for a while, fed it some spiritual spring water, and then fed it a large peach.
The well in the space that holds the spiritual spring has a cover that can prevent floods, so she put all the peaches stored in the space into the well and covered it.
Once the golden eagle had recovered, Su Qianqian immediately set off again for the flood-stricken area.
She had seen it when she flew over from the capital. Not only was Qiu County severely affected by the drought, but the drought had also spread to at least a dozen surrounding cities, covering a very large area.
The drought in the area was too severe, and she had to travel to the flood-stricken areas to fetch water to relieve Qiu County.
The most arduous task was undertaken by the golden eagle, which flapped its wings incessantly until it was nearly exhausted, but finally arrived in Liucheng before sunset.
The golden eagle refused to fly any further and landed in a small mountain village.
The village is small, with only a dozen or so households.
The village is full of mud houses, and the water was about half a meter deep. One house had already collapsed from the water.
The villagers had already fled to the mountains two days ago.
They had nowhere to shelter from the rain on the mountain, and they hadn't even had time to take out their food from home. They had been starving for two days, and everyone was kneeling and praying to God to have mercy and let the flood recede.
The woman in the blue floral dress didn't believe in God, only in herself. When she heard her child crying loudly from hunger, she decided to go home and get some food for the children, because she couldn't let them starve to death.
The woman had just waded into the water when she was swept away by the swift current. Fortunately, she quickly grabbed onto a large tree.
The current was too strong, and the villagers dared not attempt to rescue anyone.
"What should we do? Should we find a long stick, reach over, and pull her back?"
"It's no use, they're too far away, there's no way to save them."
Just as the villagers were getting anxious, they suddenly heard a loud bird cry, and then a girl riding a large bird swooped down and landed on a large rock.
That girl was so beautiful she seemed unreal; she must be a fairy.
Moreover, ordinary people don't have the ability to ride a big bird and fly into the sky; they've only heard that immortals can.
"It must be that God heard our prayers and sent a deity to save us."
"Thank God, please let the floodwaters go!"
Su Qianqian stood on a rock, her back to the villagers, and pulled off the purple jade gourd pendant from her neck and put it into the water.
Water was drawn into the space, and the water level began to drop rapidly. Because the small mountain village was not low-lying, the muddy ground was quickly exposed after the water level dropped.
The woman who had clung to the tree was finally saved. She slid down from the tree and kowtowed twice to Su Qianqian.
"Thank you, God, for saving my life."
There were fish in the flood. Su Qianqian used her mind to retrieve a large grass carp, about a foot long, from the floodwaters and placed it at the woman's feet.
"Get up, this fish is for you to eat."
The floodwaters in the mountain village had receded, so Su Qianqian rode the golden eagle downstream, hoping to collect more water into her spatial storage.
After she left, the woman who got the fish became a popular figure among the villagers.
"Da Zhuang's wife, the gods have actually given you fish! You're definitely going to be rich in the future."
"Dazhuang's wife, you are truly amazing! You can actually talk to the gods. It's so enviable. I knew you were a blessed person long ago."
Da Zhuang's wife pursed her lips; it was this same old lady who had called her a jinx earlier.
"Dazhuang's wife, can the fish given by the gods be made into fish soup? Can we have some too? Let us share in the good fortune."
Da Zhuang's wife wasn't stingy; she quickly nodded, handed the big fish to Da Zhuang, and then picked up the child and headed back into the village. The floodwaters had receded, and they could finally go home.
Su Qianqian then collected a lot of floodwater downstream and brought it into her space.
It was time to go back. She had to return to her home in the capital tonight because she had promised her family that she would be home that same day.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had just set and it wasn't too dark yet, Su Qianqian immediately rode the golden eagle back.
If it had been any later, we wouldn't have been able to see Qiu County from the road, and we might have misdirected the floodwaters.
Su Qianqian finally arrived in Qiu County before dark.
The rains fell on several nearby cities, bringing not only water but also fish; many fish fell from the sky.
The people saw the immortal riding a large bird in the sky, and they all knelt down in worship with joy.
"The gods really sent rain! We're saved!"
"The crops are saved too, thank you, Goddess of Rain."
After kneeling down, the villagers went to catch fish, creating a lively atmosphere like during the Lunar New Year. For ordinary people, having enough to eat is a luxury, and meat is a rare treat throughout the year, so fish are incredibly appealing to them.
As Su Qianqian flew over a mountain, she saw a bonfire burning there, with two children tied to it. Luckily, the fire had just been lit; if she had arrived a quarter of an hour later, the children would have burned to death.
Su Qianqian directed the golden eagle to fly lower and quickly poured a lot of floodwater onto the fire, extinguishing it.
There is a Dragon King Temple on the top of this mountain.
The boys and girls tied to the fire are offerings from the villagers to the dragon god. The villagers believe that fire is a way to communicate with the dragon god, and burning the children is equivalent to offering them as sacrifices to the dragon god.
The villagers were all drenched by the floodwaters, but they were overjoyed because after a long drought, they finally had water.
Moreover, I was fortunate enough to see the gods in the sky, gods riding on big birds.
The gods extinguished the fire with water, indicating that they forbade the use of young boys and girls as sacrifices.
Moreover, the gods have already brought a heavy rain here, so they no longer need to offer sacrifices to pray for rain.
The child's parents were unwilling to sacrifice their child; they were forced to by the village.
Now that the children are free, they quickly kneel down and kowtow to the gods in gratitude.
"Thank you, God, for saving our child."
The fake Taoist priest who was presiding over the rain-seeking ceremony also knelt down. He didn't know any magic at all; he was just trying to swindle money. He could earn a tael of silver by performing this rain-seeking ceremony.
Su Qianqian hovered low in the sky on her golden eagle. She coughed twice and threatened loudly, "If you dare to harm innocent lives again, I will punish you severely."
This rain-seeking ceremony was organized by the village chiefs of several nearby villages, so they were all terrified and swore to the heavens that they would never sacrifice a living person again.
Su Qianqian rode the golden eagle and hovered in the sky until she saw the child leave safely, and then she left.
After she left, the village chiefs from several villages got together again and started causing trouble.
But this time it's not about doing bad things.
They felt it was incredibly lucky that their villages could see the gods. If their ancestors knew about this great joy, they would surely be so happy they would crawl out of the ground.
Moreover, the gods helped them.
"This deity must be the legendary Rain Goddess."
"The Dragon King has consumed so much of our offerings and interferes in everything. Why don't we demolish the Dragon King Temple and replace it with a Rain Goddess Temple?"
"Yes, let's change it to the Temple of the Rain Goddess. We've met the Rain Goddess herself, so let's make a statue based on her appearance and put it in the temple for worship."
