Chapter 8 - It turns out that the reward for this barn of grain and grass is for today

Lu Xun took Jiang Qin, Sun Shangxiang and others to the outside of the city, standing on the ridge of the field, looking at the dry and cracked fields, his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

The people in Haichang County are also all staying in the farmland at the moment, holding the lodging corn in their arms, and their faces are full of despair.

There is no hope in their eyes.

They don't know how to live this year.

Without food, they simply do not last the next year, and most likely even in the fall.

And once people are cornered, they can do anything.

No one wants to starve to death, but what if there is no food?

Lu Xun clearly knew what the results of the famine caused by this drought would be, when even the weeds and tree bark could not satisfy the hunger, at that time, the darkest desires in people's hearts would emerge.

It's not impossible.

In this turbulent era, many people have eaten human flesh to a greater or lesser extent in order to keep themselves alive.

Not to mention far away, let's just say that people like Liu Bei who claim to be the king of benevolence and righteousness have eaten human flesh in the process of escaping for their lives.

Cheng Yu under Cao Cao's account also used human flesh to feed himself in order to survive during the famine.

Lu Xun clearly knows that if he doesn't do something, then such a tragedy will be staged again in a short time, and this is the so-called troubled world.

He didn't want to see such a tragedy appear in Haichang County.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Xun turned around and walked towards the city, he knew that he would not change anything if he stayed here, it was better to hurry back and think about what could be done to solve this terrible matter.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here!"

Hearing Lu Xun's reminder, Jiang Qin immediately followed with his guards.

Sun Shangxiang glanced at the people standing in the farmland, and then turned his gaze to the back of Lu Xun leaving.

The eyebrows were slightly furrowed, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help biting her lip, and after stamping her feet angrily, she chased after her quickly.

"Bo Yan, why do all those people have a sense of sadness on their faces, even a trace of despair?"

Hearing the words coming from beside him, Lu Xun glanced at Sun Shangxiang, who was following him, and sighed: "This is because their year's work has been in vain!" ”

"This drought will make this year's harvest a no-grain, I'm afraid it will be a famine!"

Sun Shangxiang heard Lu Xun's answer, and was shocked: "Then what should I do!" I've seen famines, and a lot of people will die! ”

"Bo Yan, shall we help them?"

Lu Xun stopped, looked at Sun Shangxiang, and was silent.

Not only is it as simple as many people will die, this will be a scene of purgatory on earth!

He also wanted to help these people through this catastrophe, but it was not so easy to do.

Just looking at Sun Shangxiang's clear eyes, Lu Xun couldn't tell the real truth, so he could only nod at Sun Shangxiang: "I will!" ”

After returning to the county office, after Lu Xun settled Sun Shangxiang, he hurriedly summoned Jiang Qin and others to discuss the matter.

"Gong Yi, Da Lang, the two of you go to a few surrounding cities to see if you can buy food?"

After Jiang Qin and Zhu Jialang heard Lu Xun's words, they fell in love and took a step forward and bowed to him.

Lu Xun got the reply from the two of them and nodded: "In this way, you can go down and prepare!" ”

Although Lu Xun had already signaled the two to retreat, Jiang Qin frowned tightly and stopped talking.

Seeing Jiang Qin's hesitation, Lu Xun glanced at Jiang Qin and asked, "Gongyi, is there anything else?" If there's something to do, say it! ”

Jiang Qin was silent for a moment, and said to Lu Xun: "Lord, this drought is definitely not only Haichang County, but I am afraid that it is ......."

Although Jiang Qin's words were not finished, Lu Xun knew in his heart what Jiang Qin wanted to say.

frowned slightly, and sighed: "Try it!" ”

Jiang Qin heard Lu Xun's sigh, nodded to him, said yes, turned around and walked out.

After everyone left the county office, Lu Xun also chose to leave and walked towards the mansion where Xueyun was.

He clearly knew in his heart that it was impossible to solve the problem of famine among the people in the county by himself, and he could only pull Xueyun, a big household in Haichang County, together.

When Lu Xun came to Xueyun's mansion, Xueyun had already known about Lu Xun's arrival and was waiting in the hall early.

Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Xueyun glanced at Lu Xun and said lightly: "You are finally here!" ”

Seeing Xue Yun behaving like this, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Did you already know that there would be today?" ”

Snow Cloud chuckled and nodded.

When Lu Xun saw Xue Yun admitting it, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and hurriedly rushed to Xue Yun's front and scolded: "You already knew about it, why didn't you say it?" ”

Xue Yun glanced at the angry Lu Xun and sneered: "I told you, won't there be a famine?" Will you be able to change the weather? ”

Xueyun's words couldn't help but make Lu Xun speechless for a while, he didn't know how to refute Xueyun's words.

"In that case, do I need to say it?"

Lu Xun was silent for a long time, but finally deflated, sighed, and sat on the couch on the side.

Looking at the silent Lu Xun, Xueyun picked up the tea bowl, took a sip gently, and then said softly: "I know what you came here for, I can help you!" ”

"However, relying on me alone, it is always a drop in the bucket, and I can't solve too many problems!"

Lu Xun heard Xueyun's words and nodded: "That's enough, it's better than nothing!" ”

"I'll figure out the rest myself!"

"Say goodbye first!"

Lu Xun stood up, saluted to Xueyun, turned and walked out of the hall.

Xue Yun looked at Lu Xun's departing back, chuckled, and then put down the tea bowl, got up and walked to the backyard.

When Lu Xun walked out of the door of the mansion, he couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky.

Even with the help of Snow Cloud, how long can this help last!

He didn't know that if there was enough time, even if there was no grain in the city near Haichang, he would be able to buy grain from Jingzhou and other places.

But how long can the food provided by the snow clouds last?

Just when Lu Xun was worried, the prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Di - a warehouse of grain and grass rewards have been distributed, please pay attention to the host!"

Hearing the prompt of the system, Lu Xun's face couldn't help but show a touch of joy: "It turns out that the reward of this warehouse of grain and grass is for today's ......"
