Qin Siyu took Jin'er and soon arrived at the town that was seriously affected by the drought - Qinghe Town, the gate in front of the town was unguarded, and it was opened widely.

Qin Siyu couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: Why don't you even have a guard at the gate, how can you maintain public security? Not afraid of thieves in the middle of the night?

Qin Siyu was just muttering in her heart, but her outspoken maid Jin'er asked directly: "Miss, it's so strange!" Why don't you even have a city gate guard! I'm not afraid of someone trespassing! This is a war, and it is not immediately overtaken! ”

Qin Siyu was about to blame Jin'er for saying more, but suddenly heard an old and weak voice say, "Hey! The current Qinghe is not comparable to the past, who is willing to rob it, don't say that it is a war, it is given for nothing, it is estimated that no one wants it! ”

Qin Siyu was stunned for a moment, only then did he find that on the side of the city gate, there was an old man in rags, his clothes were in tatters, his hair and beard were all white, dirty, I don't know how long he hadn't washed it, there was a dirty crutch next to him, and his body was also thin with an oak and hemp rod.

Qin Siyu couldn't help but take a step forward, squatted down, and asked softly, "Old man, why do you say this?" Why are you leaning here and not coming home? ”

The old man drooped his eyelids, glanced at Qin Siyu, his face was full of wry smiles, and only after a while did he say in a weak voice: "The girl looks like a foreigner, where do I still have a home, old man!" Look at this Qinghe Town, where is there still the prosperity of the past, God doesn't appreciate the face, a big drought, all the crops are killed, the grains are unparalleled, the river water can't be drunk, the rich have long taken their family property to other towns to find a way to survive, leaving us who have no money, who wants to care? ”

Qin Siyuxiu raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help pursing her red lips, it seems that this drought is even more serious than she imagined, if it can't be solved in time, I'm afraid that the entire Qinghe Town will become an empty city!

Qin Siyu still has some drinking water in her baggage, but this little bit of water can't solve anything, she didn't pay attention to it just now, but at this moment, she found that she looked into the town from the city gate, and received on both sides, and the corners of the eaves and corridors were full of refugees with withered faces, even if she had the heart to save the emergency, her little drinking water was not enough!

The only way to deal with the drought is to solve the drought as soon as possible, so that more ordinary lives will not be lost.

Thinking of this, Qin Siyu no longer hesitated, and took Jin'er to Qinghe Village, the most arid village in Qinghe Town.

Qinghe Village is an urban village in Qinghe Town, and it was also the most important grain production area in Qinghe Town in the past.

The two did not directly take the official road that was conducive to traffic, but chose the field path, of course, the so-called field road is not a field road now, there are cracked ground everywhere, cracked ravines, and the crops have long died of drought and withered in the ravines.

Qin Siyu and Jin'er didn't walk for long, they felt hot all over, sweating profusely, and every breath was hot, and there seemed to be an invisible hot fire spraying in the cracks of the ground, scorching the two of them and not even having the strength to speak, if it weren't for the emperor's order, the country was in trouble, Qin Siyu would not have been able to come to this kind of place.

But speaking of this, Qin Siyu couldn't help but sigh again, she and Jin'er had only been here for a few hours, not even half a day, let alone the villagers who lived here......

Along the way, the drought was getting heavier and heavier, and by the time Qin Siyu and Jin'er arrived at Qinghe Village, their throats were already dry and about to smoke.

Jin'er's kung fu foundation is weak, and after walking for a long time, she began to can't help but snort and pant, her whole body is like being on fire, she can't help but stomp her feet, and begged: "Miss, I can't walk anymore, can you drink saliva first and then continue!" ”

Qin Siyu wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked back at Jin'er, and saw that Jin'er's delicate little face was red, as if it was burning, Qin Siyu knew that Jin'er was only afraid that she was about to reach her limit.

Qin Siyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay, drink some water and continue on your way!" ”

Saying that, the two of them looked for a relatively clean bow and sat down, but before the two of them could sit down, they couldn't help but stand up, especially Jin'er, who suddenly screamed, jumped up like a monkey, and screamed in her mouth: "Oh my mother, burn me!" ”

Although Qin Siyu was not as shocked as Jin'er, she frowned involuntarily, no matter what, she didn't expect that the ground would be so hot, at this temperature, she could almost bake an egg.

No wonder Qin Siyu has always felt that the soles of her feet are on fire, at first she thought that she was tired of walking, and the soles of her feet were sweating, but now she knows that they walked to a road that is as hot as the bottom of a pot, and it is strange that the soles of her feet are not on fire, thanks to Jin'er's customized shoes for herself and the people around her, which can withstand high temperatures and colds, and are not ordinarily strong, otherwise their feet will probably be burned off.

At this moment, the two of them didn't have the heart to continue to sit down and rest, so they had to stand and drink saliva and take a break.

It's just that Qin Siyu and Jin'er haven't had time to swallow this saliva before they suddenly hear a noisy sound in the distance, and the two of them were subconsciously stunned, and couldn't help but look into the distance.

In the distance, a group of ragged villagers rushed towards them like crazy, Qin Siyu subconsciously frowned, and his heart was secretly not good, so he hurriedly said: "Jin'er, quickly give me the kettle!" ”

Jin'er hadn't come back to her senses yet, staring blankly at a group of people running rapidly in the distance, Qin Siyu couldn't help but secretly say that it was not good, and snatched the kettle with a jump, and ran to the arid field next to her in a jump, and at the same time shouted to Jin'er: "You go to Qinghe Village first, wait for me at the village chief, and I will meet you in a while!" ”

Jin'er came back to her senses at this time, and was about to ask a few more words, but Qin Siyu had already run away, and she watched the group of villagers running wildly, suddenly turned around, and also entered the field, and went straight to Qin Siyu.

Jin'er suddenly woke up, and then she understood, this is in Qinghe Village, where the drought is most severe, how scarce the water source is, and now it is estimated that it is the gold exchange, and no one is willing to change it, the spare drinking water on their bodies is still prepared in advance, and they have to stay in Qinghe Town for a long time, even if some are stored in the young lady's system, I am afraid that it is not enough, so there is no room for a little loss.

This person who has been in drought for a long time is like grasping at a life-saving straw when he sees water, and he doesn't care about any benevolence, righteousness and etiquette at all, as long as he can live, he is willing to do anything.
