88. Out of the mission team 1 drought
Ming Yiker also nodded, she has also helped farm since she was a child, plus the climate of the Snow Country, if it is frozen and cracked, the soil will not be so easy to crush, and it will turn into dust when you step on it, and it will be caused by lack of water.
Zhao Wenyuan said with some concern, "We won't encounter a drought, right?"
"Yes, look at these cracked lands, at least the drought has been going on since the summer, and it hasn't eased in the winter. Chen Lei said with certainty.
Seeing that several people were looking at him, Qing Cang spoke, "Let's go to the county seat, this state is the task for us to check, and there are many county seats, and so on to make conclusions." ”
The four of them nodded and walked along the road.
The more you go inside, the more you can feel the severity of the impact of the drought, the trees on the road are all dead and dead, and the roads on both sides are dug with holes, bare and desolate with the desolation unique to winter.
"Brother, let's go quickly. Looking at the desolate environment around him, Qingyu was a little uncomfortable, and he tugged at Qingcang's sleeve.
Qing Cang looked at his younger brother, then at everyone, nodded, and sat on the tiger's back.
The five of them each have a first-level spirit beast, Qingcang and Ming Yiker are tigers, Chen Lei is a big bear, Zhao Wenyuan and Qingyu are lions, their spirit beasts are already at the peak of the first level, and this time they are also thinking of saving more points to exchange for the spirit plants needed by the spirit beasts, so that they can be promoted to the second level.
Several of them went into battle easily, because Ming Yiker had a storage ring, and the salute and food were placed there for her. They are very envious of the storage ring, knowing that the top five rewards of this year's big competition have storage rings, and they are all working hard to get one.
This is not only a symbol of strength and status, but the most important thing is that it is really convenient to go out.
Passing by several villages on the way, I saw the sallow and hungry faces of the villagers, but fortunately I didn't see anyone starving to death on the side of the road, and several people went directly to the county seat without stopping.
When I arrived in the county seat, the situation was better, although there was also a lack of water and food, but the relief food from the imperial court had arrived, which was why there were not many victims in the county.
When I arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper saw that it was a person from the Royal Beast Villa, who wanted to open five upper rooms, but was stopped by Qingcang and asked for three ordinary rooms.
Put the spirit beast in the room, and the five of them ate in the lobby, asking the shopkeeper about the situation.
"A few young masters, the young lady guessed about the same, but it was not our county that was affected, but several neighboring counties were all affected. The shopkeeper sighed and said,
"After a rain in the spring of last year, there was no rain, the wheat harvest was particularly poor, and there was a famine in the summer, and in the autumn a large number of victims flocked to the county seat, but fortunately, the relief grain on the side of the imperial court came down quickly, but no one starved to death, but if it does not rain this spring, the well water will be dry, and I am afraid that people will die." ”
They inquired about the disaster in detail, and finally Qing Cang took out a tael of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
He took it and thanked him, but he didn't have a smile on his face, and he was still worried about when the drought would pass.
"I didn't expect that there was not one county affected, but several. Chen Lei lamented that natural disasters are the most powerless for people.
"Let's eat, rest for one night and then go to the nearby county town to have a look, and then go back to the villa to hand in the task and see if there is any way in the villa." Qing Cang picked up the chopsticks and motioned for everyone to hurry up and eat, their ability to rain a little bit is okay, but there is nothing they can do about such a large area of drought.
Several people were not in a very good mood, they picked up the chopsticks and just ate two bites when they heard shouting outside, there was a fire, there was a fire.
The five of them quickly put down their chopsticks and ran out, and saw smoke rising in a residential area across the street on the left side of the restaurant.
"If there is a fire in such weather, there is no extra water to save it, but what can I do?" the shopkeeper also stood outside the door and looked at the place where the fire broke out, and said worriedly.
The five of them glanced at each other and hurried towards the place where the fire was burning.
This is a slum settlement, one by one small courtyards are close together, and the people who caught fire are in the middle of the alley, and some people have already started to run over to help.
The five of them used their flying skills to reach the wall, and then stepped on the roof of the house and flew towards the smoke, in this case, if the fire is not extinguished quickly, it is easy to set the surrounding houses on fire, and the fire will become bigger and difficult to control.
There was no need to go through the hall and alleys to avoid the crowd, and the five of them soon came to the house of the person who was on fire, surrounded by a lot of people, everyone took shovels and threw sand into the fire, but after nearly a year of continuous drought, the current house is still made of wood, and it is easy to catch fire, and now the fire has begun to spread to the people next to it.
"Ke'er take some water out, Wen Yuan, Chen Lei, you and I will perform the cloud and rain technique together. Seeing this, Qing Cang immediately ordered.
Ming Yi Ke'er hurriedly took out a basin of water, the basin is usually used to drink water for spirit beasts, Zhao Wenyuan, Chen Lei, and Qingcang began to run the exercises to perform the cloud and rain technique.
A dark cloud soon gathered in the sky of the people who were on fire, and when the people who were busy fighting the fire saw the dark clouds in the sky, everyone looked at the sky nervously, hoping that God would help extinguish the fire.
Soon a heavy rain fell and extinguished the fire, but the rain came and went as fast as it came, and in a small area. Before everyone had time to cheer, it finally rained, and the clouds in the sky dispersed.
People shouted at the sky that God should rain again, a large number of people knelt on the ground, begging God to rain again, and some people scolded God for why he was so stingy, what happened to rain more, do you want to watch people die of thirst and hunger?
"It's them, I saw it just now, it's them who rain. A voice came out, and a woman shouted in surprise as she pointed to the five people on the roof.
"They are immortals who cultivate the truth, ask the immortals to rain again, our wells are almost dry, and we won't be able to survive without rain. The woman knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the five in the direction of the five men, pleading.
As if they had seen a life-saving straw, everyone followed suit and knelt down and kowtowed to the five people.
At this time, whether it really can rain or not, they don't have so much mind to think about truth and falsehood, but whatever can bring hope, they are like drowning people, desperately clinging to anything that can survive.
Because of the drop in the water level, many people's wells have begun to dry up, and they have begun to drink muddy well water. It's good that the wellhead is a little deeper, but the shallow ones are running around to borrow water.
Now that there are people who can make it rain, can they not be excited, they are all fragile in the face of natural disasters, and they are no longer omnipotent human beings.
The five of them were a little panicked, because of the problem of the Beast Determination Technique they had learned, there was not much aura in their bodies at all, the rain just now was already their limit, and they had to use that basin of water to quickly form dark clouds, and now it was impossible to come out in the next rain.
"Let's go. Seeing that the people below had already begun to look for a ladder to come up, Qing Cang hurriedly said.
The four of them glanced at the somewhat crazy people below, nodded, and flew away. The group of people behind them were there shouting and scolding, and they couldn't do anything about it.
Returned to the inn, rested for the night, they planned to leave for other counties, who knew that as soon as they walked out of the door of the inn, they were blocked by people surrounded outside, led by the county order of Lixian Zhu County, he saw five people, and bowed deeply to them.
"On behalf of the 350,000 population of the county, Xia Guan pleaded with the immortals to relieve the drought in our county with a heavy rain, and we will definitely set up an immortal tablet for the immortals, and pray for the immortals every year to thank you for saving your lives. Zhu Xianling bent over and pleaded.
Looking at the county order bowing, countless people behind him bent down and bowed loudly, shouting, "Ask the immortals for rain." ”
"This, big brother, what should we do?" Qingyu was taken aback by this battle and hurriedly asked Qingcang.
Chen Lei and the three of them also looked at Qing Cang with solemn faces, asking him to make up his mind.
Seeing that many people and county officials bent over and didn't get up, Qing Cang took a deep breath and spoke, "Our cultivation is still shallow, and we can only rain in a small area, and the rainfall is not large, but our Uncle Bian is a person with great ability, please please get up first, take us to send a message to Uncle Shi, and let him come over to help everyone solve the drought." ”
At the same time, in another place, two mission teams gathered.
In February this year, torrential rain suddenly fell for several days in the upper reaches of the Bairong River, and floods occurred in the upper reaches of the upper reaches of the river, and the areas along the lower reaches of the rivers were badly damaged, and more than a dozen counties along the way have been affected, and two of them were seriously soaked by floods, and now two days have passed, and the water has not yet shown signs of receding.
The two teams that received the task of Lingnan Province of Qi Country originally went separately, one team was responsible for half of the province, but who knew that in the event of a flood, the two teams got together again.
"None of us have the ability to fly, so we can't see the damage and the extent of the damage, whether it's still raining, and why the water shows no signs of receding. The captain of one of the squads said.
"Well, this situation is more serious, do you want to report it directly to the villa, the rest of the exploration mission is not something we can do, unless there is a reconnaissance team to help. The captain of the other squad said.
The two teams reached a consensus and began to take out the transmission note to contact the villa and tell them about the situation in Lingnan Province.
The steward who received the report reported the situation to Fu Chenghai.
Wuge, who was in the space, received the news of Xiaoshu and hurried out of the space, and when she saw her father, Bian Youcai and Yu Ze were waiting at the door, and she hurriedly invited people in.
"What's wrong with my father, why are you all here. Wuge looked at Fu Chenghai and saw that his face was solemn.
"Girl, I received news that there was a flood in Lingnan Province of Qi State, the affected area was fifteen counties, dozens of villages, the most serious one has been swallowed up several villages, and two counties were soaked in floods, everyone hid on the roof and waited for the rescue of the imperial court. Fu Chenghai said with a solemn face.
"I have received news that there is a drought in several counties in Zhangzhou, Yan country, and it started last summer. Bian Youcai then Fu Chenghai said that he received a message from Ming Yi Ke'er and came to Yu Ze and Wuge to discuss what to do, who knew that there was something to do when he met Fu Chenghai.
