Su Qianqian rode a golden eagle and arrived in Zhangcheng before sunset.

The county magistrate in Zhangcheng was a member of the Zhang clan, named Zhang Yang, who was the grandson of the old patriarch of the Zhang clan.

Su Qianqian was shocked by the scene in Zhangcheng. The entire city was like a vast ocean, with water everywhere. The flood here was much more serious than the small mountain village where she had last fetched water.

All the living people were moved to a small hill in the west of the city, where tens of thousands of people were densely packed together.

There were no houses on this high slope. It was only after Zhang Yang came here some time ago that he led the people to cut down trees and build dozens of houses for people to live in.

There are far too few houses, so Zhang Yang is leading people to cut down trees.

Suddenly, a bird's cry that resounded through the sky came from above, and all the people who were cutting down trees looked up at the sky.

"Look! There are immortals, immortals riding on big birds."

"My God, are there really gods? Are they here to help us?"

"I knew it! It's been raining every day, how come it suddenly cleared up? It must be because the gods came!"

The disaster victims hadn't seen the sun for many days, so even the sunset felt especially warm and comforting.

An elderly man with a white beard, one of the oldest among the crowd, reminded everyone, "Stop talking! Quickly kneel down and kowtow to the gods. Don't be disrespectful to them."

This dynasty held the gods in high esteem, so all the workers stopped what they were doing, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed devoutly to the gods.

Su Qianqian landed on the roof of a wooden house and deliberately stepped on it. It felt quite sturdy. The wooden house was well-built and the disaster victims would feel safe living there.

"Everyone, get up. There's no need to kneel. Zhang Yang, you get up too."

The people were even more astonished; the immortal actually recognized the county magistrate!

Magistrate Zhang is truly remarkable; he actually recognized a deity.

Zhang Yang then realized that the person who came was not a deity, but Miss Su, the great benefactor of the Zhang family and the pride of the entire Qinghe County.

He had seen Miss Su from afar when he went to Gu's restaurant before. Such a special person could never be forgotten, so he recognized her at a glance.

I only knew that Miss Su was good at fighting, but I never expected that after Miss Su went to the capital, she could actually fly with birds. She is truly extraordinary!

Zhang Yang felt particularly proud. Among the many outstanding members of the Zhang family, he never expected that Miss Su would remember his name.

He explained to the people, "This is Miss Su from Qinghe County. She is not a deity. Miss Su is a good person. It was Miss Su who led the people to keep the hundreds of thousands of rebel troops of the King of Huainan outside Qinghe County. Miss Su is also the most respected benefactor of our Zhang family."

The people around were all very envious of Magistrate Zhang after hearing his words.

Since ancient times, it has only been said that immortals can ride divine birds and fly in the sky. Since Miss Su can fly, she must not be an ordinary person. So the Zhang family's backer is really powerful!

With such powerful backers in his family, it would be difficult for Magistrate Zhang not to prosper in the future.

Although Magistrate Zhang had explained that Su Qianqian was not a deity, the people still kept their heads down, not daring to look at her for fear of blaspheming the gods.

Su Qianqian jumped down from the wooden house. "Zhang Yang, come here, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Yang quickly came over to greet her: "This humble official greets Miss Su."

"Zhang Yang, you don't need to be so polite. I came to help you at your grandfather's request."

Su Qianqian and Zhang Yang inspected the newly built wooden houses together. They were all quite safe, but getting food was a problem.

A large city with tens of thousands of people only had one room full of moldy grain, which was certainly not enough to feed them.

Zhang Yang explained, "Zhangcheng has been flooded for many days, and a lot of food couldn't be saved; it's all soaking in the water."

When he was sent by the imperial court, Zhangcheng was already flooded. If he had arrived earlier, there might have been a chance to salvage some grain.

"Miss Su, my grandfather wrote that he is sending people to transport grain to Zhangcheng, but it may not arrive quickly. Moreover, the grain will pass through the territory occupied by the Prince of Huainan, and I don't know if it will be seized."

The imperial court has not arranged any relief grain. If the grain sent by my grandfather is seized by the rebels, countless people in Zhangcheng will starve to death. At that time, he, as the county magistrate, will not fare well and will certainly be punished.

When the Zhang family had no officials, they were desperate to support one. Now that they suddenly have five officials, my grandfather and his family are so worried that they can't sleep. Sigh!

"Zhang Yang, I will help you with the food issue."

The two happened to arrive outside a wooden house. Su Qianqian went inside and took out dozens of bags of grain from her spatial storage and placed them in the wooden house.

This was prepared before she came; the space was going to be used to store floodwater, and the food would get soaked if it wasn't taken out.

Zhang Yang was both shocked and moved as he looked at the room full of bags of grain.

He casually opened a burlap sack and found that the grain inside was very dry, without any dampness or mold, and of excellent quality.

Miss Su could conjure food out of thin air; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a fairy.

The Zhang family actually found a deity to back them up! They're incredibly lucky.

"Miss Su, I, Zhang Yang, will do my utmost to assist you whenever you need me in the future."

"Zhang Yang, your primary task is to settle the disaster victims. I will find a way to drive out the floodwaters later, but you must be careful, as the hot weather can easily cause an epidemic. After the water level recedes, you and the people should bury the human and animal carcasses in the water overnight."

Zhang Yang nodded solemnly, "Miss Su, rest assured, I will definitely do as you instruct."

Su Qianqian walked down the slope and looked at the endless water. Apart from this small hill, the rest of the city was a vast expanse of river and sea.

Many objects were also floating on the water, including various wooden furniture, such as wooden beds, tables, and chairs.

Many of them haven't been damaged yet; once the water level drops, these pieces of furniture will still be usable.

Su Qianqian took off the purple gourd pendant from her neck and put it into the water.

The people dared not look at her, and held her in awe, so they did not notice her movements.

After the purple gourd pendant was placed in the water, the water level began to drop rapidly, and soon the muddy ground was exposed, full of pits and bumps.

Zhang Yang jumped up with joy, marveling at how incredible Miss Su's skills were.

He walked into the mud wearing cloth shoes, which were splattered with mud, but he was very happy. The flood had receded, and the people could return to their homes and live normally. There was no need to rebuild the wooden houses.

These wooden houses that have already been built can be left to the people whose houses were destroyed by the flood.

Zhang Yang was extremely grateful to Miss Su. Miss Su could not only conjure up food out of thin air, but also eliminate floods. This was an ability that only a deity could possess.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been born in the same county as a deity.

Zhang Yang decided that he would write a letter to his grandfather later, stating that no matter what situation they encountered in the future, even if Miss Su broke with the court, he would definitely stand by Miss Su's side.

Standing on Miss Su's side is equivalent to standing on God's side.
