Chapter 209 The Goddess Saves the World
"Now the gods have been angry for three months and have not given rain to the Kingdom of Mi. As the messengers of the shepherd god, our northern tribe has requisitioned this well according to the will of the gods."
"Rainfall depends on God's will. If you do this, aren't you afraid that God will get even more angry and won't give us any rain for the rest of the year?"
The envoy of God spoke one thing after another: "Other tribes have all obeyed the orders obediently, but your tribe is acting recklessly here. Are you sure you want to become the sinner of the entire Mi country?"
With such a big hat put on them, many people panicked and couldn't help but waver in their hearts. The enthusiasm that they had just been motivated to defend the future of the tribe was mostly extinguished.
"We are a group of women, powerless and powerless. In the end, we have no way to fight against the gods."
"Why don't we give up this well? Maybe this time we can pray for rain successfully."
……
The messenger of God heard the sparse discussions and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. When he came, he saw that this tribe was very arrogant and was a little worried that the situation would get out of control. It turned out that it was just a paper tiger that fell apart with a poke.
Just as the hearts of the people in the tribe began to disperse, the messenger of God keenly observed that at the end of the team there was a woman in bright and beautiful clothes, who was very eye-catching among the gray-faced people in the tribe.
The woman had a pretty face, and standing next to her was a tall, upright, middle-aged man.
Wen Qiao and Ge Zhu were the ones he targeted.
The messenger pointed in the direction of Wen Qiao and Ge Zhu and asked: "Why are there still young and strong men in the tribe? Why haven't they been sent to the front line as soldiers?"
Granny Aji said quickly, "Sir, these two are fishermen who are here to stay overnight. They are not from our country."
"No no no..."
Shen Shi shook his head with an unfathomable expression on his face: "You are wrong, these two people are not just passers-by. They are participants!"
Wen Qiao and Ge Zhu's hearts skipped a beat at the same time. Could it be that their identities as spies were about to be exposed?
At this time, Jiang Lili asked Xiaopang to send the gunpowder bags stored in Xiaopang's warehouse over. If they were discovered, they could only use firepower to intimidate these people.
The chief was puzzled: "Lord God's Messenger, what do you mean by this?"
"Stupid! Don't you understand? There has been no change or improvement in the many times we prayed for rain before."
The envoy's eyes were sharp and his tone was sinister: "And this time, two foreigners came before our rain-praying ceremony. Doesn't this mean that they are the turning point of this rain-praying ceremony?"
Jiang Lili clapped her hands and exclaimed: Wow, what a logical genius! What he said makes so much sense, even she believed it.
"No, it's impossible!"
Grandma Aji panicked when she heard that. She didn't think so. As an elder with rich experience, the shepherd god protected his people in peace and happiness, and there was no tradition of requiring everyone to offer sacrifices.
The last time this group of people said that the shepherd god had an oracle, asking all the young and strong men in the tribe to go to the front line. These strong men left for half a month and there was no news of them.
This group of old, weak, women and children were held in the tribe like hostages. The people from the northern tribe took advantage of the fact that their tribe had no young and strong men to support them and robbed them unscrupulously. In addition, they had performed so many rain-praying rituals to no avail. Instead, all the cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe were almost sacrificed. She even began to suspect that the people from the other tribe were not messengers of God.
"The brother and sister gave me water last night and saved my life. Moreover, after knowing the drought situation, they still gave me a large bottle of water as a backup before going to bed last night. They are my real lifesavers."
Granny Aji stood in front of Ge Zhu and Wen Qiao and said, "If you want to capture them for sacrifice, you must step over my dead body first!"
The shadow left in Ge Zhu's heart by the "weak old man" Marquis Zhaoping was healed by the sincere Grandma Aji. It turned out that not all old people were as cunning as Marquis Zhaoping.
Ge Zhu looked at Grandma Aji's short, old but stubborn back and felt a little guilty. In fact, the big pot of water he gave her last night contained the antidote.
The messenger of God didn't care what Grandma Aji said: "Come here, quickly capture these two foreigners and use them as sacrifices for the next rain-praying ceremony!"
The chief also believed in Grandma Aji's judgment, and brought her sisters-in-law to stand in front of Wen Qiao and Ge Zhu.
"So many people have died in the tribe, and you are still recruiting young and strong men to the front line. I heard that you want to attack Haizhou Island. The king already has a plan. Why do you want to sacrifice these two innocent lives? These two people also saved Grandma Aji."
"You, a mere ant, dare to fight against the messenger of God?"
The messenger of God raised his hand slightly, and the followers behind him rushed into the crowd, came to Wen Qiao and Ge Zhu, and pulled away the people who were protecting them.
Ge Zhu was panicking. He was not going to get into trouble again today. He said to Wen Qiao with tears in his eyes, "Sister, what should I do?"
This Chief Wen looked very powerful. Just now when the kind-looking woman reminded them to flee, Wen Qiao told him not to run away and that nothing would happen if he stayed here. Ge Zhu regretted it very much at this moment. He should have run away earlier. He was deceived by Chief Wen's strong leadership qualities.
Wen Qiao had no expression on her face. She sent a message to Jiang Lili: [Lili, it’s time to start.]
Wen Qiao's eyes were now fixed on the follower's fist that was about to hit Grandma Aji.
The next moment, she clamped the follower's wrist, followed by a crisp sound of bone cracking.
"what--"
The follower whose wrist was pinched by Wen Qiao screamed: "My hand is broken!"
The people of the tribe were all shocked to see how easily Wen Qiao restrained the followers of the Lord Messenger of God.
"God never wields the sword against his own people."
Wen Qiao threw away the follower's hand in disdain, walked out from the wall of people formed by Grandma Aji and the chief, and said in a loud voice: "You are not messengers of God, you are liars, thieves, and robbers."
When the envoy heard Wen Qiao's words, his face changed immediately: "What qualifications do you have to slander this envoy?"
Wen Qiao shocked the whole audience with one sentence: "Because I am the messenger sent by God!"
After hearing this, Ge Zhu widened his eyes and whispered in Wen Qiao's ear: "...Sister, don't joke with me. We are dead."
Just as Ge Zhu finished saying this, “Boom——”
Thunder sounded in everyone's ears, a bolt from the blue!
Wen Qiao remained calm, because she had just turned on the speaker, turned the volume up to maximum, and played the thunder sound that Jiang Lili had recorded and sent to her.
"Thunder, it's thunder, is it going to rain?!"
"Could it be that this girl is the true messenger of God, and what are the people of the northern tribe?"
The messenger of God was frightened by the sudden thunder and almost fell off his horse. Hearing the tribesmen talking about it, he hurriedly said, "Coincidence, this is a coincidence!"
The messenger of God refused to believe it and said, "You said you are the messenger of God, then you have the ability to make God send rain!"
