Chapter 41: Drought

For Chenjia Village, the rain is only a little scarce, but for a large area of land dozens of miles away from Chenjia Village, there are signs of drought, especially in places where a small drought occurred last year, and some of the land has cracks.

The price of grain has also risen in the hands of profit-seeking merchants, which makes the villagers of Chenjia Village very glad that they did not sell the grain, and they also regret why they did not buy more grain before.

Although there is no obvious drought, the fluctuation of food can still make the people sensitive.

Chen Yu doesn't like drought, after all, it hasn't rained for so long, so Chen Yu can't enjoy a quick increase in ability level. Now that the ability level is level three, I can cultivate on my own, when will I be able to level up?

Chen Yu has been planting food in the space these days, digging the land with spiritual power, planting food, not only planting a large area of land in a short period of time, but also improving his spiritual power, and now Chen Yu just doesn't use special abilities, just using spiritual power can kill people invisibly.

It is possible to use mental power to hold up huge stones, and of course, it is possible to use mental power to control things like zhì fine needles, which can exert great power and penetrate the human body easily. Moreover, Chen Yu can also use his spiritual power to make himself fly.

Although you can't fly very fast yet, you can fly fast when your abilities increase and your mental power increases in the future. It's a pity that he can't absorb the power of thunder and lightning now, if it's really a modern society, Chen Yu can also absorb the electric energy of human beings, but it's a pity that he is now in such a place where science and technology are not developed, and he is destined to only look at the mood of God, only when it thunders and rains, Chen Yu can get thunder and lightning.

Chen Yu is now four years old, and she is a little Lori who looks very pink and cute, and the children will also confirm their good feelings according to the cute Cheng dù, and the cute people are popular in any world, since Chen Yu absorbed the power of thunder and lightning, it has become more and more cute.

Therefore, the children in the village like to play with Chen Yu, the younger children like Chen Yu to know everything, and the older children like Chen Yu's sensibility. Because he is already four years old, Chen Yu can already run around, in the fields, by the river, at the foot of the mountain, there is no place that Chen Yu has not been.

Chen Yu is also happy to play with children, although Chen Yu is not a real child, but there is really too little entertainment in this world, and it is more interesting to play with children, of course, Chen Yu himself is a child, and he can't be too detached from the group, he will be ostracized.

Sometimes Chen Yu will bring his youngest brother Chen Bao to play with the children, the children are still young, and when it is time to play, Chen Yu will not be ambiguous at all.

Time slowly passed a month, the day still did not rain, the farmer in the field lacked the moisture of the rain, all a picture of malnutrition, fortunately in Chenjia Village near the river, the villagers will carry water every day to irrigate the crops, although much more tired than usual, but as long as the harvest is good, everyone still has no complaints.

However, everyone also knows that this is not a long-term solution, and if it really does not rain for a while, then this year's harvest can be expected to drop by several percent. Of course, there is the worst-case scenario, in case God is really not beautiful, then it is not impossible to harvest nothing.

Chen Yu's father and mother also go out early and return late these days, after all, there are so many fields, and they can't be watered at all if they don't work hard, but fortunately, the Chen family has an ox cart, so you don't have to carry water yourself, but use an ox cart to transport it, not only a lot of water transported at a time, but also very labor-saving.

It's a pity that Chen Yu is not strong enough, otherwise, with the ability, it is still possible to control the weather or something, intercept the water vapor in the distance, or simply transport the water vapor over? However, it is impossible for Chen Yu to do this now.

As the days passed, the people of Chenjia Village began to become agitated, because the news of the drought not far away had reached this closed mountain village. Everyone expects that there will be no drought, and that God will rain heavily, after all, it has rained very little since last year, and if there is a drought, I don't know how many people will be affected and how many people will be displaced.

"It's been raining for so long, I don't know when it will rain, hurry up and make it rain, whether it's for my own cultivation or to avoid a drought. Hurry up and rain, if there is really a drought, how can we live this day, life will be better, not so cruel. Chen Yu wailed in his heart, he couldn't look directly at his tragic life.

Forget about being struck to death by lightning, I actually crossed over, crossed over, and became the daughter of a poor farmer. I finally made a fortune with my own mind and discovery, but before I could start living a good life, the drought began.

God doesn't see her as unpleasant, can't he let her live a stable life? Although God still gave her a golden finger, she can't do without these tribulations.

Chen Yu has not experienced drought, but he still knows a little about the situation in modern times and when he saw the drought on TV, and in modern society, droughts are such miserable scenes, in such an underdeveloped world, can you expect some good things?

The water of the river next to it is not as much as in previous years, so it seems that the scope of the drought is not small, and I don't know if this river can support it, you must know that the river has been cut off in history, and the older generation once said that the situation during the last drought was that the whole river was cut off, and only some mud remained.

The drought has made water scarce, and in many places it has become so strict that there is no water for people to drink, and the water level of the river passing through Chenjia Village has been repeatedly reduced. Seeing such a grim situation, the people in the village also knew that it was not good to go on like this, so the village chief took the lead, and everyone started a series of actions.

First of all, the village chief asked people to dig a reservoir, and the rural people were lucky, and the villagers acted together, and the reservoir was dug quickly. At the bottom of the cistern, pave the reservoir with stones, pebbles, and fine sand to keep the cistern from leaking, and then start filling the cistern with water, and the water in this cistern is the life-saving water that the situation has really reached the point of no return, so everyone is not lazy.

The reservoir is deep and in a low-lying area, so even after the drought passes, it can still store water for irrigation of the fields, so it is not considered a day job for the villagers.

As time passed, the weather became hotter, and the sun gradually became hot, and the scorching earth, which was already very dry, was roasted and exposed.

The temperature is rising, but the rain has not yet arrived, and those who are waiting do not wait for hope, but for the abyss of more and more despair.
