I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 466 Save My Little Brother

The heavy rain has stopped and now it is drizzling, but the waterlogging is still very serious and many people are trapped in the water.

In some factory slums with poor housing conditions, countless illegal dormitories have collapsed.

In an apartment building surrounded by water, Lewis and his companions sat shirtless on the steps, looking with bitter faces at the water level rising little by little below the steps.

"Boss, what should we do? The water is still rising. It seems we can't go to the racecourse tonight unless we get a boat." The younger brother next to him was very worried. There was a heavyweight horse race at the Central Square today.

He spent a shilling to bet on horses, but now he was trapped in his apartment due to the flood. He couldn't go to the scene in person and didn't know whether the racecourse was flooded.

"Ma, ma, go to hell. If the water doesn't recede, we won't have anything to eat or drink. We're going to starve to death!" Lewis was really irritated by his younger brother's nerves.

How could people like them have any food stored at home? The only black bread and flour they had were soaked into the sewage along with the kitchen during a sudden heavy rain.

They used to go out to buy food every day, eating more when they had money and less when they didn't. Now they are trapped in the apartment and can't go out, so dinner has become a problem.

When everyone heard what the boss said, they couldn't help but touch their stomachs and started discussing it worriedly.

Some people expressed optimism that the heavy rain would stop soon and the water would recede. Last year, the Tianlong spitting water was even more serious than this, but everyone survived.

Some people are pessimistic and believe that the gods have no time to care about these minions and that they will only protect noble people like Earl Owen.

“Shut up! You can’t be disrespectful to God! Eastern gods are different, they will bless all living beings! Everyone listen to me, we pray to God, and God will bless us.” A yellow-haired man wearing glasses carefully took out the wrapped shrine from his clothes. Inside was a statue of a god, and behind Him was a dragon hovering upwards.

"Boss, look, this is what I picked up the first time the flood came in. It's not stained with any dirty water."

Lewis said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, you are smart."

It costs a lot of money to carve a statue, even if it is only arm-high. Everyone gritted their teeth and pooled their money to buy white marble, secretly "invited" craftsmen, and carved it in secret.

Since the establishment of this deity and the daily offerings made to it, everyone's luck has begun to improve.

The apartment building they were living in was a symbol of their good luck, because it was the residence arranged for them by an unspeakable great man.

Every room here has windows, none of them are sealed, and the total number has long exceeded the seven windows required for window tax. Such luxurious window rooms are arranged for them to live in for free by the big shots, without charging rent!

The rent exemption alone saved everyone at least ten pounds a year and allowed them to stay in London openly. You know, people who can't afford to rent a house are in danger of being driven out of London by the sheriff at any time.

"Oh, please God forgive my sins!" The person who was complaining just now immediately changed his expression when he saw the shrine. He immediately showed a pious expression and prayed in a low voice.

Seeing this, the others also began to pray to the shrine. Now that they were trapped in the building by the flood, there was nothing else they could do, so they might as well pray to the gods.

Unlike the Chinese, the natives here are very stubborn in their beliefs. Those who believe in God believe in God wholeheartedly, and those who believe in the true God will never step into the church again. Just as everyone closed their eyes and prayed, they heard a noise in their ears. They didn't know what happened outside. But based on experience, everyone agreed that the noise at this time would definitely not be a good thing.

Lewis' heart suddenly tightened, and he was the first to open his eyes. He walked to the corridor on the second floor and looked out the window. He was surprised to find that a huge pink bathtub suddenly appeared outside the window, which could accommodate at least four or five people.

"Oh my god, what is this pink thing outside the window?"

"This... why does it look like a boat that the real God has conjured up for us? Could it be that our prayers have come true?" The four-eyed yellow-haired man, who had not forgotten to grab the shrine when escaping from the flood, had his eyes shining as he looked at the giant pink bathtub.

The next second, as if to verify his statement, the giant pink basin, which was originally some distance away from here, floated automatically to the bottom of the window of their apartment building without any pulp.

Since the flood had almost completely submerged the first floor, even though they were on the second floor, they could easily jump into the giant basin by just opening the window.

But where could they go if they left the flooded apartment building?

Everyone hesitated for a moment and began to discuss it in a buzzing manner, unable to come to a unified conclusion. In the end, they all looked at the boss Lewis, and the meaning was obvious, that is, they wanted him to make a decision.

Anyway, everyone followed the boss, and the decision to apostatize was made together with the boss. At this moment, when faced with such an important decision, of course it was left to the most intelligent boss to make it.

Lewis looked up at the clouds, but it was too dark to see anything. But he had a feeling that he saw a black flying saucer in the clouds, which looked like the legendary Earl Owen's divine vehicle.

In their circle of lower-class people, there is a legend that the Owen family has a flying chariot.

Of course, no one had seen it with their own eyes, but everyone believed it very much because the news first came from the circle of servants of the nobles.

As we all know, the servants of the nobles are always the most informed. No matter how unbelievable something is, it is possible to happen.

They all believed in the power of the true God. They believed that Earl Owen's family was blessed by the true God. Not only did they, the believers in the true God, but even those who believed in God had heard of it.

Since God exists, a flying chariot is not impossible.

Xia Qingdai looked at the small apartment below the glass tank, gently moved the pink plastic soap box, and said to Owen: "Owen, do you think they will jump in?"

"I will." Owen, who was sitting in the carriage on the drone, replied.

In fact, he couldn't see the scene below clearly, because he flew high this time to hide, and he didn't bring a telescope with him. For Xia Qingdai, it was only half a meter away, but for him, it was the distance between heaven and earth.

But through the vague shadows, he could also guess roughly. This area was originally where he brought Xia Qingdai, and there were some underground forces arranged by him here.

While the two were talking, Lewis jumped into the pink soap box with a bang, and then other little black shadows jumped down one by one like dumplings.
