Before you know it, the weather is quickly getting hot.

The Luoshui flowing through Yanshi still has a slightly muddy color, and the slow rhythm and powerless flow are like the state of the whole city at this time, with a bit of laziness in the silence.

It has been a month and a half in a row, and there has not been a trace of precipitation in this land and within a radius of nearly 100 miles, and God seems to be so stingy with the people here, even if it has reached the season when the rain is most needed, it still allows the drought fish to play wantonly on this land, and there is no trace of clouds in the blue sky.

The eyes were full of yellow, but it was not the yellow of the harvest with joy, but the burnt yellow with sorrow.

In the same way, it also means the color of death.

Moreover, the people of Li did not even have the slightest ability to resist in the face of such a heavenly might.

Even if they are on both sides of Luoshui, even if they have been motivated to survive for their own families, after a trip of hard work, they still come with dry fields that seem to crack at any moment—just a little stronger than the land that has been completely broken by drying up far from the water source.

The seedlings that could not absorb enough water but were constantly drained of every trace of water in their bodies by the scorching sun naturally lowered their heads, but not because of the ripe and full ears, but because of the farmers who worked hard for them without face.

While such a scene is despairing, it is clearly not the whole story.

As the saying goes, "Locusts rise when the drought strikes." ”

Locust plagues are most likely to occur in areas with lack of vegetation cover and drought, especially after mild winters. It is very easy to cause excessive population density and attract locust plagues due to the reproduction of a large number of insect eggs.

Although last winter was not very mild, the dry weather today is undoubtedly conducive to the emergence of locust plagues.

All of a sudden, from the south of Jizhou to the north of Yangzhou, from the land of Guanzhong to the coast of the East China Sea, the overwhelming locusts were like the imperial army, sweeping from the west to the east.

For this sudden but early warning disaster, the reaction of the people of Bingzhou was somewhat sluggish and panicked.

Although there have been many works on locust plagues and locusts since a long time ago, they have been analyzed and summarized in the era of Li Shushi. This kind of disaster, which was once talked about by the ancients, has even become a new way for farmers to generate income.

But this kind of thing is too far away for Li Shushi in the past. He knew nothing except that he learned from the news that some creatures like to feed on this kind of insect and that the meat of those creatures will become more delicious after a hunt, in fact, in the face of all kinds of pervasive new pesticides, the living environment of locusts has reached a considerable level.

Not to mention under the supervision of various scientific instruments. In many cases, such disasters have been wiped out at the source.

Besides, even if it does cause a little disaster damage. The large country has always been able to transport grain from other places and warehouses through a network of roads and railways. The worst and the worst can also be purchased from foreign profiteers for a certain amount of emergency.

It can be said that in modern society, locust plague is no longer the object of concern of urban people.

And in this plane, the people of Bingzhou have to face something that makes them even more embarrassed or proud - since Li Shushi became the ruler of Xihe. It can be said that disasters such as those that occurred in Henan during this period had never been encountered in the previous years of Li Shushi's administration, whether it was such a severe drought or a locust plague as a secondary disaster.

Although these disasters are not unfamiliar to people of some ages like Jia Xu and Fu Zhu, except for the "newcomer" of Fu Zhu, most of the old people in the Bingzhou Army have become accustomed to comfortable and normal weather.

And such things naturally affected the course of the war - not only the annexation of the states that were preparing to send troops.

In fact, Yanzhou, which is also the hardest-hit area, has already killed the red-eyed Er Yuan at this time also has to have a tacit understanding to break away from the battle, Yuan Shao needs to take into account the disaster situation in Jizhou, and Yuzhou also needs Yuan Shu's arrangement, and even in comparison, the latter needs to face several times more workload than the former, because the affected area of Yuzhou is obviously more than Jizhou.

For such a result, Li Shushi doesn't know which aspect should be regarded as giving a respite.

For the Yuan Cao coalition army, although they have shifted from the original strategic defense to the strategic counteroffensive, after all, the losses they suffered before are not so easy to make up, and they can start a counteroffensive more by relying on the breath in their chests, and also because the old subordinates of Sun Jian, who had been responsible for the heavy responsibilities on the other side, have also become lax.

And what about Yuan Shu's side?

The previous defeat obviously made him have to reconsider the combat ability of the corps in his hands, if there was no trump card like Sun Ce, would Yuan Shu not have the ability to fight in this troubled world?

Such a result was quite dangerous for Yuan Shu from any point of view. No matter how generous he was before, for a feudal monarch, a hero with too much merit has always been the most dangerous to exist, especially in Yuan Shu's opinion, Sun Ce's little guy may have a little more ambition than his dead father.

Especially when the little guy is young and despised the authority of Yiqiē, he naturally will not have any good feelings for the broken ship of the Great Han, and he will also not have much respect for the origin of Yuan Shu's so-called "Four Worlds and Three Dukes", if it were not for the fledgling now, maybe this little guy would have thrown off Yuan Shu and acted independently.

In fact, in the previous battle, Sun Ce seemed to have accumulated a lot of capital, but he lacked an appropriate time to turn this capital into strength.

This obviously made Yuan Shu feel the deepest uneasiness.

Don't look at the Hebei Sitingzhu under Yuan Shao and the athletes under Cao Cao were pressed and beaten by Sun Ce for a long time, but after this test. Yuan Shu had recognized the huge gap between his generals and his main enemy.

The rest is how to make up for it.

Of course, the most important thing before that is how to survive this disturbing drought.

"So even if you find Meow, it's completely useless.,Meow can't manage this kind of thing.。

"But just thinking about that uncle's face makes me shudder."

So you let Meow face that very scared face Meow, what a big bad eye meow! Meow ignore you meow! ”

"I'm just a mere mortal, and I'm afraid there's anything wrong with him. On the other hand, aren't you colleagues of the same rank? Why do you seem to be more afraid of him than I am? Well, you're ...... out of the four."

"Don't say it, don't say it! This great shame, this great shame. Meow should never do anything 'universal cute beast armor for everyone's happy entertainment'. Meow is a majestic white tiger meow!! ”

"Poof~ really good...... The majestic white tiger meow is really ......"

"Hmph~ (with a satisfied face) Don't force Meow, otherwise Meow will run away from home~ When the time comes, they will die in a hurry~ But Meow...... I always feel like there's something not quite right~"

To be honest, looking at the cute Cun Zài in front of me from the body to the heart, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had a baby elephant trunk. Li Shushi felt that he would definitely not be able to hold it. But even so, he was not far from the kingdom of a certain angel.

Well. The touch of the head is very smooth, although it is a little harder than Su Xiaololi's show in terms of hardness, but it has a different kind of comfort to the touch. It's also hard to put down, and it's hard to tell the difference.

The most important thing is that the cute round face has a red halo with Li Shushi's touch, and the beast ears and tail that gently shake with Li Shushi's movements are also full of cuteness that makes people can't help but have nosebleeds.

Therefore, Li Shushi said that he was not on the verge of crime, but exercising his ability to resist temptation.

Perhaps, in fact, there is only temptation and no confusion......

Of course, Li Shushi has not forgotten the purpose of his trip under such temptation.

When it comes to fighting drought, Li Shushi's deepest impression is nothing more than a few things -- looking for water sources, saving water for irrigation -- but this kind of thing Li Shushi has handed over to his beneficial subordinates, after all, people like him can only give some help in the general direction, if it comes to the details of the problem, he does not help is enough to make people thankful, but it is better to leave everything to the professionals, and he often goes to the people to put on a show as needed.

The facts tell us that no matter how bad the method is, as long as the acting skills are in place, the effect will not be too bad, especially in this era of extremely backward information and communication, Li Shushi believes that his actions will definitely not become the target of all kinds of airbrushes the next day.

Compared with the above things, the most important point in drought fighting is actually "not to let go of any cloud that can cause rain".

According to unreliable sources, the mayor of a certain city shouted it out at a meeting of the flood control and drought control headquarters, and the background is said to be because of the continuous drought, the water supply in the city is only enough for less than a month, and the whole city is about to fall into the danger of water outage, but the life-saving water pipeline has not yet been repaired.

At such times, water conservation is practically useless, and finding new sources of water is the priority.

Of course, it is said that the story ends with the life-saving water pipeline being built less than ten days before the city is cut off from a widespread water outage, and the life and death of this life finally ends with the victory of mankind.

However, it is said that there is a follow-up to this incident, that is, because of the severe drought for several years, the upper and lower levels of the city government have a special habit of clouds that can rain, and they have always practiced the motto of the not very thick leader. As a result, in the following year, the reservoir area in the north of the city caused flooding because of the heavy rainfall...... That's why it's getting harder and harder to write songs that everyone will enjoy.

Putting aside those black histories, compared to the construction of water conservancy facilities, the most important thing is that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, finding those few cute beasts that are competing with those in Luoyang and don't know what is fighting for support is a time-saving and labor-saving way, after all, in this era, there are only these specifications of the storage zài with artificial rain enhancement capabilities.

But the reality is obviously not as full as imagined.

Regarding Li Shushi's request, although White Tiger Meow still gave Li Shushi a cute face. But he said he couldn't do anything about it.

Not to mention the Vermilion Bird Girl, who was born with the attribute of fire, she is like a drought, and there is only one result that can be caused by releasing her power wantonly - naturally it will not be to alleviate the drought, but to make those ears that are already shriveled like weeds become completely inedible coke.

Well, it may sound like good news for today's equally bad locust plague, but Li Shushi also believes that it is absolutely impossible for the people of Henan to live on roasted locusts, an edible food, for a year.

Besides, even if there is food, if there is no water to drink, people will also die, and they will definitely die faster.

And what about our Xuanwu Imperial Sister?

"The concubine has a lot of experience in cooling down, if there is enough water vapor, it can also fall snow or something, but in such a dry weather, you let me find you some rain, and I am not a porter of nature. The concubine really can't do it~"

All right. Li Shushi, who heard the last sentence, was almost scared on the spot, because Xuanwu Imperial Sister was obviously not a storage like him that ordinary people could surrender, so when she said the word "concubine", it definitely meant that she was in a rather unhappy mood.

I don't know why she's so upset, though. But sure enough, it's better to grease the soles of your feet.

It's just the last one left. But it is Li Shushi who has always felt the most tricky storage zài.

Speaking of which, Li Shushi's initial impression of Qinglong was still in the appearance of the elder who was a little humorous and a little black-bellied in the Qinglong Shrine. But should I say that it is really distance that produces beauty?

When he really began to have more interactions with these cute creatures that didn't seem to be very difficult to contact, Li Shushi gradually realized that Qinglong's status among the four was slightly different - as if he was a strict brother, and as if he was a cold master. Qinglong obviously has a lot of power to interfere with the actions of the other three.

As a royal sister, Xuanwu may be able to ignore the majesty of the green dragon because of his aura, but he will not resist under normal circumstances. Because of the protection of Xuanwu, Suzaku doesn't seem to have to bear too much firepower. Moreover, the Baoyu of the two people is not in the Central Plains, and the Tiangao Emperor is far away, even if it is a holy beast, there is a lot of powerlessness.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Li Shushi's anti-heaven awakening method, maybe the four of them would still be in the same state as before.

Therefore, the most tragic thing is the white tiger meow, which looks the most "young" among the four people and stays not far from Qinglong.

Naturally, White Tiger Meow, who is quite close to Li Shushi, also has a broken mind about this "brother" behind his back.

Even Li Shushi had a certain fear of Qinglong.

Even bear children usually have a natural fear of their parents, don't they?

Although it is not a disgusting feeling, he will not be willing to take the initiative to get close, even if the self-healing strategy that the other party gave him at the beginning has saved him countless times with the possibility of showing people in the image of a pig's head, but it can't change this feeling.

"But there's only one way to choose meow.,It's the dragon's job to spread the rain or something.。

Habitually licked his paws, no, it was the tips of his fingers, and there was still a trace of sweet taste on it, which came from the taste of delicious shaved ice - Sister Xuanwu used her own labor to breed such a delicacy, such a pure taste.

"Then why didn't you tell me about this at the beginning, but instead made me go around in such a big circle."

"Because it's very interesting~ And seriously, Uncle Qing is very old-fashioned, especially I don't like this kind of random interference with the nether, so if it's not necessary, Meow doesn't feel the need to eat this kind of closed-door soup that will be very troublesome."

"Does that mean you're bound to be rejected?"

"I'm not sure if I will refuse Meow, Uncle Qing may agree when he is in a good mood or when he wants to make himself feel better, but Meow advises you not to be happy too early, Uncle Qing is sometimes more terrible than Sister Hei~"

Really, Li Shushi didn't quite agree with the last statement, because ......

[Shhhh You see, what have I seen, there is a wild white tiger meow, we can try to catch her, a white tiger meow can provide us with energy for a day, she is rich in a lot of protein and amino acids, but the white tiger meow is not easy to deal with, we slowly approach her from behind, be careful not to make any sound. 】

For the mysterious sound that floated from nowhere and the hidden threat in the mysterious voice, Li Shushi decided that it was still golden to be silent.

"Oh~ Xiaobai thinks your uncle is more terrible than me~~"

"Meow! Meow meow~!! Big things are not good meows! Meow wants disaster to come! Hurry up and rub the soles of your feet with oil! Meow......! ”

[Hehe, caught, she struggled a lot, we cut off her head and [beep~], and the rest can be eaten. Of course, if time is not pressing, we can roast it first, it will be more delicious. 】

With a long scream, Li Shushi looked at the Xuanwu Imperial Sister who was about to take away the captured prey with a pious expression.

"Nana~ Xiao Shushi, what do you think is better to deal with this white tiger meow?"

"Please leave [Beep~] to me, I think it will be of great help to me in my future life!"

"Li Shushi! Meow, even if you turn into a ghost, you won't let me go! ”

"No, no, no, I think it would be better if you didn't have that kind of thing, for me."

"Meow! Meow feels as if she has been fundamentally denied! ”

"It's definitely not your delusion."

"There was no denial! Meow......! ”

"Well, the texture is crunchy, and the taste is like chicken~"

Looking at the two unscrupulous people who stretched out their thumbs to each other, the eyes that could not be closed showed an unwilling look, and a tear with a hint of bright red slipped from the corner of his eyes, leaving indelible traces on the dry soil.

Perhaps in the near future, a towering tree will grow here, with white or red leaves, used to write about the love and sorrow of the past.

Perhaps this tree will become an eastward demon that sucks the flesh and blood of passers-by because of the love of its master, and it must be sealed completely by a pure girl, but as a price, this girl will become one of the seven deadly sins, gluttony.
