It rained heavily all day and all night, and shouts and shouts could be heard in the distance among the flickering torches all over the field, but the owner of the fence never came back.

On the third day after the rain, the sky cleared up. In the early morning, loud voices were heard outside the fence. A group of monkey-like civilians cried out in panic: "The water god has ascended to heaven! The little dragon has returned to his throne!" and rushed towards the fence. Rongyi heard the sound and came out.

, the clay figures from all over the mountains and plains came around like a tide with cries, and in a moment the flat land in front of the dry fence was filled with water, and the shouts of cursing the government and crying for the water god filled the ground.

Rongyi was at the corridor of the barracks, overlooking the two corpses in the middle of the crowd. The two corpses in the middle of the crowd were very clear. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help shouting: "This man can be saved! Don't touch him, I will do it!" He turned around and rushed into the barracks, carrying the medicine.

The bag ran down.

His loud shout alarmed everyone, and among the gray mud crowd, a familiar old man's voice was heard shouting: "It's God's will! Get out of the way!"

Everyone moved out of the way, and Rongyi rushed in panting heavily, opened the medicine bag, and first inserted three shining silver needles into the bearded man's three major acupoints: Shenshu, Dachangshu, and Bladdershu; and then came

Looking at the dark and slender boy, the four fingers of his right hand immediately pinched the four slits on the boy's left hand.

In a moment, the boy opened his eyes and called out, "Father!" He suddenly turned over and sat up.

Rong Yi quickly held it down and said, "Brother, don't be impatient. Your father has colic in his internal organs. He will wake up after a while."

The young man looked at Rongyi with wide eyes, and suddenly turned over and bowed to the ground: "Sir, you are a miracle doctor! My father was saved, Si Zhong will always be grateful!"

It didn't matter that the young man knelt down. Clay figures all over the field immediately fell to their knees in large groups from near to far, and they all cried out: "Sir, if you save the water god, you are my benefactor, Yunmengze!"

Rong Yi stood up and bowed his head. Without saying anything more, he quickly came to see the bearded man. As he twisted the silver needle, the man had already woken up. He opened his eyes and was surprised: "Hey, I went to see the Dragon King of the East China Sea. How about that?"

Are you back?"

The gray clay figures around them immediately cheered: "The Water God is back!" The shouts of "Long live the Water God!" rumbled across the mountains of Daze.

Seeing the mysterious look of the long-bearded man, Rong Yi frowned and waved his hands: "Brother, please don't be impatient. You have been tired for many years, have poor food and water, and have chronic diseases in your kidneys, intestines and stomach. If you can't treat it, I'm afraid you will

I can’t hold on for long.”

The man's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Sir, don't make any noise. We'll talk in the work stall." He suddenly sat up and waved his hand and shouted loudly: "The Sea Dragon King summoned me to secretly teach Yunmeng Ze Waterway! In ten days,

Stay away from the fence!"

The gray and muddy crowd roared in unison: "Obey the Water God!" and dispersed in a moment with a rumble.

After entering the workstation, Rongyi told the man to stay on the bed and be silent, and immediately began to work on treating medicine and preparing decoctions. In three days, the prescriptions were changed three times, and the man finally showed improvement. The young man also became lively, both inside and outside.

They went out to cook and prepare food and clothing for a group of people. Rongyi was able to clone himself and carefully prepared a dose of herbal medicine to nourish the soul, and taught the young man how to decoct and take medicine. The young man is very talented.

Then it will be done, and it will be done perfectly, without Rong Yi's intervention at all.

On the ninth day, the long-bearded man's spirit improved greatly. The young man cooked a meal of mandarin fish stewed with lotus root, and brought six barrels of Lanling wine, which were filled with a big straw mat. He respectfully invited Rong Yi to

Three people took their seats.

Rong Yi sat down on the floor. After taking a shower, the man had already taken off his dirty shorts and wore a black linen robe. He walked out from the room with steady steps and a solemn look, leading the young man to face Rong Yi.

He prostrated himself and kowtowed repeatedly: "My benefactor is reborn, but my father and son are shattered into pieces and have no repayment!"

Rongyi quickly supported the man and said, "It's the doctor's duty to save people, but the water god's words are serious."

The man stood up and bowed solemnly: "I, Siyu, am just a water worker. I dare not call my benefactor such a name."

Rong Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw that the man was kind and honest, and that he was no longer as mysterious as he was that day. "It turns out that everyone admires him. He must be a god in controlling water with his single step. Why should he be too modest?"

"Sir, you don't know something!" The man sat on the ground and sighed: "Every time you control floods, you are facing difficulties and dangers. There are often life and death situations, and you have to sacrifice your life to do it. When our ancestor Dayu controlled floods, he killed many leaders of Fang Kingdom.

As for the final execution of Gonggong, it was not because Dayu liked killing, but because he wanted to establish his authority sincerely.

Now, the common people have no right to order or prohibit the construction of water works. If they cannot convince everyone, the water school's teachings will be an illusion forever..." He didn't finish his words, but stopped talking.

Rong Yi suddenly realized, and was surprised: "It turns out that I am the descendant of Xia Yu, so disrespectful and disrespectful! No wonder I am called the Water God, because my family has a long history. But, how can I be a commoner? Isn't the government here concerned about the important matter of water control?"

"

"Come!" The man held up the big pottery bowl and said, "My benefactor raised a glass of wine. I will explain it in detail after the three nobles."

"Okay! Limit to three bowls. I wish you a recovery as good as ever!"

While drinking Lanling wine and eating Yunmeng mandarin fish, the man talked about his past intermittently.

It turns out that the man is indeed a descendant of Dayu, with the surname Si. After the Shang Dynasty destroyed Xia, the royal family with the surname Si was driven to the south to the land of Wuyue. There were already many waterworks brought by Dayu to control the water here. In addition, the man's ancestors were very fond of Xia.

Yu admired him so much that he named the child Si Yu.

Unexpectedly, when Siyu was a toddler, his grandfather and his father and uncle went out to sea to fish together. They encountered a storm and all the boats were swept into the seabed. More than a dozen strong men in the family sank instantly. The bad news came, Siyu

Yu's mother cried until she died, but at least her son was here, so she calmed down and raised Si Yu with difficulty by weaving nets and washing clothes for fishermen on the beach, earning three fishes and two bowls of rice per day.

Si Yu was gifted with extraordinary talents and excellent water skills. He could fish in the water for an hour and catch more fish than he could catch with a fishing net in half a day. He was even more similar. He had a very high level of understanding, but he could not forget a single word he taught. By the time he was eight years old, he had covered dozens of miles in radius.

The "knowledge" of the old man who knew one or two words was swallowed up, and he became a commoner boy who knew sixty-three words.

The news gradually spread that Si Yu was conscripted by the government when he was fifteen years old. As an exception, he became an official servant in the civilian camp for water control in Wudi. As a government servant, he took charge of the cooking accounts of the civilians. As usual, Si Yu

After a few years, you can become an official and become the lowest level official.

But at this time, Si Yu suddenly disappeared, and there was no news about him for eleven years. When his widowed mother was dying, a dark and lean young man returned to the seaside fishing village and found the dilapidated thatched hut. The lights in the thatched hut were brightly lit.

One night. Early the next morning, the white-haired widowed mother passed away forever with a satisfied smile. After burying her mother, the dark and lean Si Yu hurried away again.

In the autumn of this year, a huge flood that had never happened in a century poured out from Yunmengze. The land of Sanxiang was thousands of miles wide, and all livestock were reduced to fish and turtles. Thousands of fishermen and mountain people became wandering communities who had left their homes.

At this time, a commoner scholar walked into the local government and asked himself to be the chief plumber. He asked the government to recruit 100,000 civilians and hand them over to his command. The Yunmengze flood would be cured within five years.

At this time, King Zhou Yi, who was being upset by his superior uncle (later King Zhou Xiao), was furious when he heard the news: "One hundred thousand capable people, five years of rule, the prince is going to rebel! How unreasonable! The people are in chaos.

More serious than floods, you know? No!"

In this way, the flood control failed, and the commoner scholar was "sent" out of the government office in panic by the officials, who ordered him never to "take charge of water control" without authorization.

Seeing that there was no hope of controlling the floods, the homeless people surrounded the civilian scholar and shouted, not letting him leave Yunmengze. Suddenly, the civilian scholar jumped into the wild waves of Yunmengze. An hour later, the scholar actually rode on

Carrying a giant turtle that looks like a small boat, it flies out of the waves and reaches the mountains on the shore!

When the homeless people were shocked, the commoner scholar suddenly shouted that he was the lower realm of the Water God. As long as the people obeyed the Water God's orders, the floods could be cured and the countryside restored. Fanatic cheers immediately resounded in the mountain plateau, and the patriarchs came in an endless stream.

Pay homage to the Water God and swear to follow the Dingshui God to control the water.

Three years later, several large rivers leading to Yunmengze returned to their original waterways. As long as one or two large channels are diverted from each river, the former Daze Basin can become fertile land.

However, tens of thousands of people relied on each ethnic group to provide food for themselves, just like Yu the Great once did when he controlled the floods. This method was successful at first, but over time it became stretched. Seeing that the floods had mostly disappeared, the people could not bear the famine and gradually dispersed.

From then on, Si Yu's reputation as a water god spread across both sides of the river. However, there were plans to build ditches in various places, so they invited Si Yu to serve as a water engineer to oversee water conservancy. Despite this, the government never dared to use Si Yu. He himself was always just a commoner.

Just like this time when Yunmengze was dredging the Yuanshui River, the city command secretly invited Siyu, but he didn't dare to do it at all.

Bao. Si Yu was still clothed in civilian clothes and engaged in government affairs.

After saying this, Siyu burst into tears, and Rong Yi was silent for a while.

"If you were to take charge of water affairs, what would be your ambition?" Rong Yi suddenly asked.

"But if you can control the water for ten years, you will be able to build a land and sea granary!" Siyu said generously, turning back and waving his hand: "Zhong'er, bring me my "Guanxi Shishi Policy"."

The young man flew into the house, brought a wooden box and opened it. Si Yu picked out a scroll of bamboo slips and handed it over: "Sir, please take a look, this is my summary of decades of water control, dredging trenches..." Suddenly choked up, Si Yu said

He punched the ground with his fist and sighed heart-wrenchingly: "I am born with such talent, how useless it is!"

Rongyi's heart trembled: "If he wanted me in his youth, where would I find him?"

The young man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's best to look for it! In the whole world, wherever there is flood, there is a water god!"

That day, Si Yu was drunk. Si Zhong said that during his working life as a hydraulic engineer, he was surrounded by wine, and this was the first time in his life that his father got drunk outside of the hydraulic industry.

After the story was finished, Zhou Li, Wang Jihu, and Wang Jihu gasped and did not speak.

After a long silence, Ji Hu asked softly: "Where is this Si Yu now?"
