129 days there was no rain, and the drought came

Excitement comes and goes. Many players have emptied their coppers, and if you want to calculate today's fortune, it is a pity that no one has reached 90 luck and 90 fortune, so no one has the opportunity to receive great benefits from the mysterious task that did not "show up". Many people scolded a few liars and ran away to kill monsters and level up.

Some smart players didn't spend this unjust money, anyway, the daily fortune and fortune were decided from the moment they were launched, and it was the same. If you really have this luck, you don't have to count it to meet the best NPC quests.

No one spent this unjust money to tell fortunes anymore, and the fortune-telling booth of the Wudao priest was deserted again. Wu Daoist didn't care, the copper in his pocket today was like flowing water, enough for him to use for a long time. In the lively bazaar, mixed with his shouting: "Hey~, fortune telling, test the luck and fortune of the day~, the accuracy is incomparable, a test will be effective, don't miss it when you pass by, maybe you will make a fortune today~!" ”

......

In the administrative courtyard of Xiaobai Village, Zhan Xiaobai was inquiring about village affairs, and Li Asan walked in with a worried look and reported: "Lord, it hasn't rained for some time, and the river three miles away has been shrinking. It's been very dry these days, and the old man went to see it again today, and half of the water has been missing, and the old man is a little uneasy, and he asked the lord to have an idea. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was surprised: "Oh, there is such a thing? Has this happened before? ”

Li Asan said: "In spring, summer, autumn and winter, the river follows the rise and fall of the rainy season, which is a common thing. But these two months were supposed to be the rainy season, and the water was supposed to rise. However, it rarely rained, which was unusual, and the old man was very worried. ”

Li Asan sighed as he spoke.

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it, it has been playing for so long, and it doesn't seem to have rained in Wuwei County, could it affect the amount of water in the river? This is likely to happen if the in-game climate is modeled like reality. As soon as the rain is scarce, I am afraid that it will be a drought.

Zhan Xiaobai cautiously asked, "Ah San, what will happen if there is no water in the river?" ”

Li Asan said: "Back to the lord, there is a shortage of water in the grain fields, and the output has decreased. Residents live in a lack of water, and the six animals are restless. When there is a shortage of water in the river for a long time, the groundwater is greatly reduced, and it is feared that it will cause a drought. Please prepare in advance. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, this situation has to be prevented.

"Well, let's go to the river and have a look."

"Yes!"

Zhan Xiaobai and Li Asan took more than a dozen players to Xiaohe, three miles away.

There are not many players in Xiaobai Village who can be seen fishing by the river, about dozens. Because the amount of water in the river has been greatly reduced, it is so high that people can wade across the river, so the ferry rafts in Hebei have been discontinued. Because the river has shrunk, there are many fewer fish in the river.

There were a few players who were catching fish in the river, and when they saw Zhan Xiaobai and others coming, they came ashore from the river and shouted, "Boss Xiaobai is here!" "Little White Boss, I'm afraid that there will be a lot fewer fish to catch this month, but I'm afraid that there won't be enough NPCs in the village to eat."

Zhan Xiaobai came to the river, nodded, and smiled at the players: "This month's food is not too tight, plus these fish, it should be enough." By the way, Brother Feilong and Brother Qiankun, do you know when the water in this river began to decrease? ”

The players shook their heads.

Only Dahe Feilong smiled dryly: "Although I often catch fish here, this is not too clear, it should have been a while." However, at first, the amount of water was reduced very little, so I didn't pay much attention to it. A month ago, I found that the brushing point of a school of fish suddenly stopped brushing, and I thought there was something wrong with the system, but I didn't expect that the river water began to decrease significantly. In the past few days, the amount of water has decreased so much that it is not even waist-high. From our side to the other side, it can be passed in three or four minutes, and the raft is also saved. ”

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the riverbed, and the original one-third riverbed on the riverbank had become muddy. The rest of the water is also gentle. He frowned and asked, "Wyvern, you are familiar with this river. How long do you estimate it will take for this small river to break down? ”

Dahe Feilong estimated a value and said, "About 15~20 days." At that time, it is estimated that the water will not flow, and the river will not be deeper than the soles of the feet. ”

15~20 days, that's a short time.

Zhan Xiaobai calculated. It's May 15th, and when the grain harvest is finished this month, the river is almost out of flow. At the beginning of next month, after planting grain, the creek was completely empty.

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked. There is no need to look at the stars, no need to look at the air, he also knows that something big is going to happen. If it doesn't rain during this period, once the river stops flowing, it will definitely trigger a series of disasters and changes, such as lack of food, lack of water, severe drought, and shaking people's will, which will detonate all contradictions, and the power is more terrifying than a barrel of gunpowder.

I just hope this doesn't happen too soon.

Zhan Xiaobai took a deep breath and asked Li Asan behind him, "Once the river is broken, how long can the well water last?" ”

Li Asan was already stunned when he heard that the flow would be cut off in 15 days, and when he heard Zhan Xiaobai ask, he hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, the river water is cut off, and the underground well water can be used for another 15 days at most." ”

15 days! It was the middle of June. As long as it can support it for an extra 15 days until it rains, it is worth paying a big price.

Zhan Xiaobai asked again: "How many wells are there in the village now?" ”

Li Asan replied: "Only 3 mouths." One is a well attached to the administrative courtyard, and the other two are in a residential area and an artisan workshop. ”

This well is certainly not enough.

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while, and immediately said: "You immediately lead people to dig a large number of wells in the village, at least dig more than 20 wells, and ensure that there are enough wells for the villagers to use." In addition, send someone to Wutong Village and inform Wutong to dig a well immediately. ”

Li Asan hesitated: "Lord, one well can be used by 50 people." 10 wells should be enough. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Dig more for backup." ”

Li Asan didn't say anything more, and said, "Yes, the old man will do it immediately." He hurried back to the village and dispatched a large number of idle farmers to dig wells.

Digging a well is more time-consuming than building a house, and it takes about 10 days for 5 farmers to dig a well, so Li Asan simply sent a large number of farmers to dig 20 wells at the same time. And sent someone to Wutong Village to dig more wells.

After Li Asan returned to the village, Zhan Xiaobai stayed by the river for another period of time. He and Dahe Feilong, Shui Qiankun and others estimated how long the fish in the river would be enough for the farmers to eat. After all, the fish production was reduced due to the reduced water in the river, and it was barely able to survive until the end of May. After May, there will be no fish, and it will depend entirely on food.

Zhan Xiaobai looked at the calculated data, pondered, and his face was expressionless.

Dahe Feilong and the others were all anxious for Zhan Xiaobai, and said: "Boss Xiaobai, let's just grab a little more fish from the river sections of other villages upstream and downstream for the farmers to eat, and try to save food, and there is a little bit of food left, so as to preserve the strength of the farmers." ”

Qiankun also shouted: "What the flying dragon said is yes, it should be too late to grab a few more fish now." Waiting for other villages to react, I'm afraid that they won't be in a hurry. ”

Hearing their suggestion, Zhan Xiaobai shook his head with a wry smile.

The fish food consumed by a population of 500NPC for 1 day is very large, and even if you grab fish from other villages, you can't eat it for 1~2 days. Moreover, the upstream is a section of the river shared by Haw Par Village and Daqi Village, so it is very unwise to have a conflict with these two neighboring villages at the same time in order to eat more fish for a day or two, and the various resources consumed are too great.

The downstream is the river section of Wutong Village, which has always been shared with Xiaobai Village and does not need to be robbed. If you go a little further to fish, it will be troublesome. There are too few people to rob players from other villages, and there are too many people, so it is troublesome to go back and forth.

All he can do now is try to find a way to get food from other sources. Merchants were sent to buy surplus grain from some small villages at high prices. Although there are very few people who can sell grain, they can now collect a little bit.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "I'm afraid there will be large-scale turmoil in the next month, so we can't easily use force to provoke disputes, but maintain good relations with various villages to avoid causing public anger." The brothers tried to make the most of our river and exploit the fish to the maximum. All the fish will be purchased directly by the village, and the price will be increased by 10%~20% on the existing basis. If players from other villages want to sell fish, you can also take over and resell them to the village. ”

Dahe Feilong laughed and said: "No problem, this price is mentioned, the price of fish collected in other villages is not as high as our village, and there must be some players who will secretly sell fish to us." We can just take over and make a small amount of money. ”

After Zhan Xiaobai smiled and instructed them, he planned to go back to the village.

Suddenly, an old singing voice was heard, and it sounded from the river downstream.

There was an old man, wearing a hat on his head, holding a raft alone to raft on the river, above the current, singing and singing: "The water of the Yangtze River, roll east and east...... Those who divide and merge, the world is powerful, the Han is unified, and the three are ......"

Together, all the players in Xiaobai Village raised their heads in surprise and looked at the source of the song.

NPCs are different from players, NPCs don't know the course of history, but all players know that sooner or later, the world will be divided into three.

Who is this singing NPC old man? Would you actually know that the Han family will stand in the world?

Zhan Xiaobai and the other players gathered by the river, waiting for the old man to come over on a raft.

When the old man approached with the raft, he was singing: "Use eunuchs, bad state affairs, bad state affairs, strange births, on the temple, a rooster, become a hen, Emperor Ling asked, how to explain,"

Zhan Xiaobai shouted loudly: "Hey, that old man, stop, may I ask your old name, who is your name?" What's the song in your mouth? ”

The old man stopped the raft in the river and uncovered the hat, which turned out to be an old Taoist priest with a gray beard.

The old Taoist priest was on the raft independently, his clothes fluttered, and he laughed loudly: "Heroes, it doesn't matter who the old Taoist is. Lao Dao has one thing, but I want to ask you young masters, I don't know if you can answer? ”

Zhan Xiaobai and the players in Xiaobai Village glanced at each other and were extremely excited. Quests, definitely quests, otherwise this veteran wouldn't have asked questions to test players for no reason.

Zhan Xiaobai immediately represented all the players in Xiaobai Village present and replied: "Please ask the Taoist chief, as long as we know, we will answer everything." ”

The old Taoist priest laughed and said: "This Dao has nothing to do, so I am making up songs and ballads for my own pleasure." Ladies and gentlemen, you said that above the temple, a rooster has become a hen, and the Spirit Emperor is strange, so he asks, how to explain it? How can this be explained? ”

Rooster becomes hen, there is such a weird thing?

The players in Xiaobai Village, who were standing behind Zhan Xiaobai, were dumbfounded, the hen became a rooster, how can this be explained? Hell knows.

The Great River Wyvern couldn't help muttering, "It can't be a genetic mutation, right?" ”

Qiankun in the water immediately laughed strangely: "Mutate your flying faucet, no matter how you change, you can't change the male into a female." I guess it's more likely to be a more "sexual" surgery...... He "" and "milk", who is so boring to give a rooster a dynamic "sex" operation! Isn't this chicken abuse! ”

"It's not boring!" A professional chicken farmer said solemnly to everyone: "You don't understand this, the rooster is castrated, the meat is more delicate, the taste is fragrant and mellow, and it can also increase weight, benefiting the country and the people." ”

The player next to him hurriedly said: "You guys, don't care if you gain weight or not, it's the most important thing to come up with the explanation that the Spirit Emperor needs!" ”

At the time of the controversy of the players,

Zhan Xiaobai had already said the answer, and said to the old Taoist: "Answer, ten permanent servants, eunuchs, the main state affairs." ”

The players were amazed, "Little White Boss, why did you come up with it so quickly?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai sweated one, "Baidu, know everything." ”

The old Taoist priest pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, what a ten-standing servant, gelding rooster, the main state affair!" It seems that this Yingjie is also not pleasing to the eyes of the ten permanent servants. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Not bad. ”

"Okay, you made up 3 ballads for me, I'll give you this." The old Taoist priest threw a glittering object from afar.

Zhan Xiaobai was taking it in his hand and took a look: Moonlight Treasure. It can be used to identify any item and decipher its mysteries.
