Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 105 Old Friend (Part 2)

Well, it’s not naivety that defeats me, but innocence! Zhang Shun was unable to complain.

So Zhang Shun stopped chatting with her and shouted directly to the boatmen: "I am going to cross the river to visit the 'River God' Huang Shoucai. Can you take us across the river?"

"You want to find the 'River God'? No need to cross the river! Half an hour ago, I heard that a big stone was dug out by the river here, and the 'River God' came across the river to check it out!" Zhouzi heard this and shouted loudly. , "It's just upstream, probably two or three miles away. You can see a bunch of people surrounding it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun thanked the boatman and led everyone upstream along the bank of the river. After walking for a short time, I saw a mess full of people from a distance, and I didn't know what they were doing there.

Zhang Shun and others came forward and heard the crowd shouting, "Look for the 'bring down the cow' quickly. This stone is too heavy and can't be pulled at all!" Then someone shouted, "Bring down the cow! Pull down the cow!" Down cow, come here and help!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun quickly pushed aside the crowd. When he looked closer, he saw Huang Shoucai and dozens of other people pulling a thick rope and pulling a long boulder in the river. The stone was so huge that when it was pulled down to the river bank, dozens of people pulled it halfway but couldn't move it because the river bank was higher.

If we give up at this time, I'm afraid the stone will hit the bottom of the river again, making it even more difficult to pull it up. What's more, everyone is holding on to the rope. If someone doesn't let go in time, they may be carried into the rolling Yellow River by the huge force of the stone, so they can only grit their teeth and hold on, trying to wait until the "bringing down the cow" comes to help.

But the rope was short, and the front and back were almost full of people. The people around were anxious and couldn't help, so they had to shout "bring down the cow". Zhang Shun didn't know anything about "bringing down the bull", but he had a man under his command who could move not only a bull, but also a black bear.

So, Zhang Shun quickly shouted: "Wukong, go and help."

After receiving the order, Wukong quickly ran to the back of the team, grabbed the tail of the rope and tried to pull it back. When the person next to the rope saw it, he started to pry him, and while doing so, he shouted: "Don't do it a disservice, we have to 'bring down the cow' in this matter."

As a result, the man didn't move Wukong. Wukong grabbed the rope and pulled it, and the boulder slowly moved to the shore.

The man's call failed, and he was still waiting to call again, but suddenly he heard the screams of people around him. When he turned his head and looked, he discovered that the stone was about to come out. He opened his mouth in fear and murmured: "This is another 'bringing down the bull'!"

Li Sanniang was shocked when she saw it. She pushed Zhang Shun and said to him: "My dear mother, this man of yours is so powerful. When we farm in the future, let him come over to help, and there will be nothing left." It’s time to pay for the cow!”

Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this and was noncommittal. While the two were talking, Wukong helped pull up the stone with three clicks. When Huang Shou saw that the stone was finally pulled up, he thought it was time to "bring down the bull" and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped his sweat and was about to speak when he heard someone say to him: "'River God', it's been a long time since we last saw you, your style is still the same?"

Huang Shoucai heard what he heard, so he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shun. He couldn't help being frightened and said: "Why did my benefactor come here? It's windy here, so be careful and hurt yourself."

"Haha, I've been feeling tough lately. I heard you're in trouble. Let's see if I can help you!" Zhang Shun laughed when he heard this.

"No, no! Straightening the river and repairing the embankments are all hard work. The Chief Envoy has already issued an order, ordering Meng County and Mengjin on both sides of the Yellow River to provide manpower; Huaiqing Prefecture and Henan Prefecture to provide financial resources to fully support me in managing this area. River." "River God" Huang Shoucai said with high spirits.

"That's great!" Zhang Shun was quite pleased to hear this. Does the Ming government still do some personnel work? Since there's nothing to do, let's just go back and talk about it. Anyway, I am just a "thief", and the major events in the world should be planned by "meat eaters".

As a result, when Zhang Shun was about to leave, he heard a commotion around him. Someone ran over and said to Huang Shoucai: "'River God', something serious has happened. Has the stone we dug offended the gods?"

"Nonsense!" Huang Shoucai said angrily, "I have been living in the Yellow River for decades, but how come I have never seen a god? What's more, I am complimented by everyone and called the 'River God'. If there is a god, I should have punished it long ago. It’s me!”

"Go and take a look. There are words on the stone. They must have been written by a man of God!" The man was frightened.

Zhang Shun became curious after hearing this, so he followed Huang Shoucai to the stone and saw that it was a long, smooth stone, like a giant pebble in the shape of a stone tablet. There is a line of big characters engraved on one side of the stone: "Wooden hanging curved ruler will stop when it is smooth; when it is clear and turns into turbidity, earth will overcome it."

Everyone frowned and wondered what it meant, but then they heard Li Sanniang laugh and say to Zhang Shun: "This poem is a praising of you and me. We are really a match made in heaven and on earth!"

It turned out that Li Sanniang was so happy when she heard everyone accidentally read such a sentence. Huang Shoucai saw her being intimate with Zhang Shun and didn't know what the relationship between the girl and Zhang Shun was. He was just curious and feared that he would miss the important event of river control, so he asked, "Young girl is very talented. What do you mean by this?"

"You're a poor person, you're a poor person." Li Sanniang complained, waved the flail in her hand, and laughed: "This thing is a 'wooden hanging ruler', look at the wooden stick with a stick hanging on it, like Doesn’t it look like a ruler?”

"As for 'Yu Shun', this is when I met this boy Zhang Shun! His name is Zhang Shun." Li Sanniang pointed at Zhang Shun, instantly revealing Zhang Shun's real name and making Zhang Shun's face black with anger.

Without waiting for Zhang Shun to interrupt, Li Sanniang continued: "The sentence 'pure turns into turbidity, soil overcomes it' is even more simple. Don't look at his aloof look, but in the end he was turned into turbidity by me. How can they beat each other to death? This is called 'a pair made in heaven, a pair that is better than anything else'."

Huang Shoucai was fed a big mouthful of dog food, and he was beyond hope. He coughed helplessly, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud noise around him: "The Mangshan bandits are here again, run!"

When Huang Shoucai heard this, he was startled and shouted to Zhang Shun: "The thief is fierce, brother Zhang Wenyuan, see you later!"

Zhang Shun was even dumbfounded when he heard this. He was a thief, but he was robbed by thieves? He quickly pulled Huang Shoucai and said, "Brother Huang, why are you in such a hurry? I'll break it for you and avoid future troubles forever!"

Huang Shoucai glanced at Zhang Shun in surprise, and saw Zhang Shun loosen his hold on Huang Shoucai's hand, smiled domineeringly, and shouted: "Jiang He listens to the order, sets up a formation, and defeats the thief for me!"
