Chapter 122.
Hearing the words of these village chiefs, Xu Fu Ling’s entire body was bad.
In the past, things like flooding had happened, but it had never been as serious as this time.
This time, the seasonal changes were just too frequent, the floods were spreading everywhere, and many of the surrounding villages had already suffered heavy losses.
Even with the successive revitalization of the floods on this side, it would be hard to make up for the previous losses.
“In our village over there, the dark clouds have started gathering again, and it’s expected to rain for a long time yet.” A village chief said.
“These days are really too hard.”
Another village chief spoke up.
Order Xu Fu’s head was even bigger.
The climate of the Tingyun Prefecture was very odd, and there were times when there was only a thin line between rain and sunny days.
This had happened before, and there were quite a few in other places as well, but it was very common in Tingyunfu.
Nowadays, the flooding was spreading.
If it wasn’t resolved as soon as possible, it was estimated that it would have to turn into a scene where the people would not be able to live.
Plus, the inspection had just passed not long ago, and when something happened on his side, it was estimated that it would be difficult for His Majesty’s side to give an explanation.
Although it wasn’t so bad that he would be dismissed from office, the punishment was there, and it wasn’t light.
“You guys go back first, tally up the losses, I’ll find someone to come over as soon as possible to look at the situation, we’ll remedy what can be remedied, and if it can’t be remedied, I’ll take out a portion of the finances from within the government to rebuild it for all of you.”
Xu Fu Ling had no choice, he could only do this.
Now this situation, is not easy to be able to solve.
In fact, it can be stopped temporarily with the method of using a person in the line of work, that is, using a person in the line of work who specializes in controlling water to mitigate these floods.
But this thing it treats the symptoms but not the root cause ah!
Especially when it comes to large scale floods like this, the amount of manpower and material resources needed is just too great.
It’s not that His Majesty hasn’t tried this method.
But is it possible that the Great Chu Kingdom is just too big, and it’s not just their Tingyun Province that suffers from natural disasters.
There were places that were even worse, and there weren’t as many people in the line of work as one would think, so it was impossible to arrange for people to come over at every time.
Let’s say right now, he had heard of an area that could be called a water town.
In that area, there had been an even more significant disaster, and His Majesty the Emperor had already sent people over to deal with it.
Right now, the manpower simply couldn’t be arranged over, so for the time being, they could only rely on themselves to find a way.
The several village chiefs could only sigh silently when they heard that the Xu Fu Order had said so.
The words had already been said, and there was nothing they could do.
It wasn’t just their villages, there were more villages that had suffered one after another, and I’m afraid that it would be difficult to remedy the losses at that time.
It was estimated that the entire Tingyun Prefecture, this year’s income would be greatly reduced.
“Alright, you guys go down first, pacify the common people, I’ll think of a solution, give me some time.”
The village chiefs looked at each other and could only nod their heads before they left one by one.
When they left, House Order Xu fell into deep thought.
Next to Order Xu Fu stood the master of the government office, when he saw Order Xu Fu’s worried look, he said, “Lord Xu, why don’t we just write a letter to the capital and ask His Majesty to give us a solution, or report it upwards so that the top can help us out a bit.”
Prefect Xu shook his head, “This is the kind of season we are in now, those few more serious prefectures have already had major problems, some even affecting the entire scope of the region, it’s impossible to send someone specifically to deal with our place.”
There really wasn’t enough manpower.
Ruling a country wasn’t just about fighting a war, but more importantly, after fighting a war, it was also about governing all kinds of situations in the country, including the people’s food, clothing, housing, transportation, and these natural disasters and so on.
The Great Chu Kingdom had only been established for ten years, and to be honest, on the surface, it was in full bloom for a while, but the foundation was still too shallow compared to other countries.
The lack of manpower was the most important thing, even some of the people in the jianghu had been siphoned off.
When the master teacher heard Xu Fulin say this, he could only silently retreat.
He had thought of all the ways he could think of, and he couldn’t help much nowadays.
Xu Fulin sighed once again, he had been sighing a lot lately, but there was no way out of these things.
Just at this time, the knock on the door came.
Prefect Xu silently said come in.
A constable held a dossier in his hands and walked over to the Xu Fu Order and handed it to the table, “Lord Xu, this is some of our preparations for this year’s Grain Harvest Festival.”
The dossier was placed on the table, and the constable, knowing that Lord Xu was in a bad mood at this time, hurried out the door.
Lord Xu looked at the dossier on the table, and slapped the table with force, his tone became angry: “What time is it, but also to open the bullshit five grain harvest festival, do not seize the time to solve the people’s livelihood problems, all day long to organize these forms.”
He is now all thinking about the flooding, which still have time to engage in these things?
The so-called “Five Grains Abundance Festival” was an annual festival in Tingyunfu.
Except for those villages near the big river in Tingyunfu, all the other villages were quite good and had good harvests.
Because of this, it was very prosperous, so this Five Grains and Bountiful Harvest Festival had become an annual festival celebrated in Tingyunfu.
But this time was different from the past.
Coincidentally, this particular season had come and gone, and the floods kept spreading.
The current Xu Fu Ling was really not in the mood to organize this Five Grains Abundance Festival.
At this time, the master teacher reminded from the side, “Lord Xu, we really need to organize this festival!”
Lord Xu furrowed his brows, not understanding what he meant.
The master-at-arms continued, “Now that the flooding of those villages has begun to spread, the people are terrified, after all, this time the matter is more serious, having this Five Grains of Good Harvest Festival will calm the people’s emotions, and it will also let the people know that we’ve actually won.”
When Order Xu Fu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
In his thoughts, wasn’t this deceiving himself and others?
But there were times when this method was actually helpless.
If even the people could not be arranged properly, at that time, he was afraid that it would be even more difficult to end the situation.
Order Xu sighed, handed the scroll into the master teacher’s hands, and said, “If I remember correctly, there are still a few days left before the Five Grain Harvest Festival begins, so go and make preparations, I still have to think about the flooding.”
The master teacher hurriedly nodded and left this room with the dossier.
When the Master Teacher had left, Order of the House of Xu looked at the other information about the flooding that was laid out on the table.
During this recent period of time, Zhou An had been living comfortably, every day was just living according to a routine.
Practicing the Swimming Dragon Steps, eating and shopping.
Living a small life in a beautiful way.
As for the matters at the Crafting Supervisor, since Yin Cheng had been settled, things had also become less complicated.
As he thought, Yin Cheng was cut off from all official positions and was sent to prison.
As for how he would be dealt with later, Zhou An didn’t bother with him.
It was just a minor character.
Right now, he was busy raising the Swimming Dragon Steps to the fifth level.
The more he followed his method, the more the proficiency grew upwards, but towards the back, the rise became slower.
This was something that every skill had to go through.
Zhou An was patient and livered very regularly every day.
Today was another brand new day.
Zhou An woke up early and went to the street, ready to go to the noodle shop he always ate at to get something to eat.
However, when he stepped onto the street, he realized that it was very different from the past.
Every household was festooned with lights and colors, bustling with activity, and even the noodle stall he ate at, at this time, was also placing gaudy red silks in front of their stalls, as if they were celebrating something.
This was the first time Zhou An had seen this, and he was puzzled, so he walked up, ordered a bowl of noodles, and asked about the situation in passing.
The owner of the noodle stall was a simple and honest man, after hearing Zhou An’s question, he hurriedly replied, “Your Excellency doesn’t know, this is our Tingyun Province’s annual Five Grains Abundance Festival, it’s a festival that belongs to the entire Tingyun Province to celebrate together, so we’re all preparing for it.”
Zhou An then let out an oh and took a bite of the noodles.
“This Tingyun Prefecture of ours is quite lively in organizing these festivals.” He casually replied and did not intend to chat deeply.
He wasn’t much interested in these things, so the big deal was that he would just make a scene when the time came.
It was better to go back to Liver Swimming Dragon Steps.
The owner of the stall also casually struck up a conversation and went back to his business.
The entire street was in a hot atmosphere.
Zhou An had eaten his noodles and was also in high spirits, casually strolling around and preparing to return home again.
But before he could take two steps out, he spotted someone in this street.
At the end of the street, the people were feverishly arranging various novelties.
And at the end, a monk wearing a gray monk’s robe was strolling around in the street.
The monk looked young, probably in his twenties.
The bald head was unusually visible under the sunlight, reflecting a special luster.
If it was usual, seeing such a monk, Zhou An might not have felt anything.
Wasn’t it just a monk this? Very normal.
However, what this monk in front of him was carrying in his hands made Zhou An feel very strange.
In the monk’s right hand, he was carrying a large bundle of pork.
The pork was tied with a straw rope and swayed from time to time as the monk walked around.
It seemed a bit incongruous for a monk to be buying pork.
It was just like a beautiful woman walking on the street, but this beautiful woman was wearing a transparent dress as if it was very conspicuous.
With just a glance, Zhou An, apart from realizing that the monk was carrying pork, he could also tell that the monk had some Kung Fu skills.
This merit refers to the merit in martial arts.
Zhou An himself wasn’t really a martial artist, he just had a lot of skills, but he had the Butcher’s Knife Technique, so he had deep insights in this area as well.
The monk’s hands that were carrying the meat, especially the joints between the fingers and the palm, had thick calluses.
This was from holding the weapon for many years.
The other party should have extremely high attainments above weaponry.
Zhou An stroked his chin, he didn’t expect that there would be people in the line of work willing to come to a Five Grain Festival.
While Zhou An was sizing up the monk, the gray-clothed monk also sensed Zhou An’s gaze and saw that Zhou An was looking at him, so he performed a Buddhist salute with his other empty hand, expressing his goodwill.
Zhou An nodded, not looking at the monk again, and turned around to walk towards his home.
He didn’t care much about the appearance of a monk, even if it was a man of the trade.
However, when he took two steps out, a voice came from behind him.
“Scholar, please stay, the young monk has something he wants to ask.”
Zhou An stopped his steps, turned his head to look, and realized that the monk had already come close.
He looked the monk up and down and asked, “I don’t know what this master wants to ask?”
The monk hurriedly said, “I don’t dare to call myself a master, my name is Wu Nian, from Wu Xiang Temple, a monk who goes out to walk, this time I came over because I just happened to pass by Tingyunfu, I heard that Tingyunfu was flooded so I wanted to come over to take a look, I don’t know if the monk has any news about the flood?”
Hearing this, Zhou An said, “Master, why did you come to ask me?”
Wu Nian similarly revealed a smile, “The Shi Master is a member of the lineage, so it is only natural for the young monk to come over and ask.”
Zhou An shook his head, “If you want to ask about the flooding, it would be better to go directly to the government office, I’m just an insignificant person, it’s useless to ask me.”
After saying that, Zhou An did not intend to stay, turning around and preparing to leave.
This kind of thing like flooding was a problem that belonged to the season, he definitely could not solve it, as for this monk in front of him called Wunian, who said that he wanted to come and solve the flooding, then let him butt heads with the Prefectural Yamen.
After all, the government office is the most professional in this matter.
His own side does not know the situation, nonsense, may be to help.
Wunian was obviously flabbergasted.
He also did not expect Zhou An to reply in this manner, and seeing Zhou An about to leave, he took a few more steps forward and stopped in front.
Zhou An’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Master doesn’t seem to be here to ask about the flooding, right?”
This had all been said to such an extent, and the other party was still sticking up like a piece of cowhide, Zhou An felt that there was something going on here.
He had only been clean for a long time, and this matter had come to his door again, and he wondered if he was the protagonist in those novels that came with the attribute of causing trouble.
Of course, his temperament was actually quite normal, if others didn’t come to mess with him, he wouldn’t mess with others, but if they really came to mess with him, the knife in his hand wasn’t vegetarian.
When Wunian heard Zhou An say this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, “The young monk has nothing else to do, if he has been presumptuous and abrupt, please forgive the monk.”
Zhou An stated that he was not being abrupt, and after saying that, he was ready to leave again.
However, Wunian once again stopped in front of him.
This scene completely rendered Zhou An speechless, Zhou An reached out and touched the pink money bag, his tone becoming cold, “Master, you’re not going to come and find me in trouble, are you?”
He had already kept a low profile, but being blocked again and again, even a clay man had three points of fire.
Wu Nian’s face became constrained, “Scholar, can you take little monk over there for a moment? The young monk cannot find the way to the government office.”
Zhou An pointed to the people next to him, “Just ask them directly, the government office is such a good place to find, just ask around and you’ll know.”
Who knows that when these words were exited, Wunian’s face became even more restrained, and he lowered his head and said, “The little monk is very prone to deviation when identifying the road, so I hope that the monk can lead, and the little monk is very non-existent in front of the ordinary people, and it is very likely that he will lead the little monk off course, and this meat is the meat that was purchased when he asked for the way, but that merchant, he even forgot to collect the money. ”
Zhou An sucked in a breath of cool air, this argument, how does it sound so pleasing to the ear?
There are still such people in this world?
It hadn’t occurred to him that before he could even ask the question, Wu Nian answered for him.
“The Wuxiang Temple that the young monk is in, cultivates a technique amongst the Qi Refiners, called the Infinite No-Phase Scripture, this technique has a very special effect, which is to reduce one’s own sense of existence, now that the young monk has cultivated to the current realm, ordinary people can easily forget the young monk, only people in the line of work are able to remember it.”
“That’s why Little Monk can only seek help from the Scholar.”
The Kung Fu practiced caused these problems?
Zhou An had a puzzled look on his face, but soon enough, the puzzle was solved.
He asked in a very novel tone, “You’re a gongfu master?”
It had been understood before that there were a total of two distinctions between the experts in this world.
The first type was a gongfu expert, where cultivation relied on gongfu to improve, and there were good and bad gongfu.
This kind of expert relied on gong methods, the bigger the power the easier it was to cultivate, after all, big powers had good gong methods.
The other kind is the technique master, through a variety of techniques of comprehension or cultivation, to enhance their own ability.
Just now, listening to Wunian’s meaning, he was probably a technique master.
It was the first time he had seen a Gong Fa expert, so his interest came.
Wunian nodded in embarrassment and said, “In order for the Little Monk to be able to slow down a little bit for the Phase-less Infinite Sutra, he specifically went to cultivate Wufu’s Kung Fu so that he can barely walk around a little bit here now.”
He was afraid that Zhou An would not believe him, so he came to a vendor and exchanged words with the vendor.
In Zhou An’s eyes, the vendor communicated well at first, but soon revealed a blank expression, as if he had forgotten who he was just communicating with.
Seeing this scene, Zhou An also tentatively believed in No Nian’s claim, and he thought about it, he would just take it along the way anyway.
So he took Wu Nian and walked towards the court house.
Wunian had a happy face, thinking that he had finally found the right person.
During this period of time, Zhou An also learned about another attribute of Wu Nian, which was a roadie.
This guy was a walking monk of the Wuxiang Temple and came out for the purpose of traveling.
Due to being a roadie, he was also very Buddhist, so he really happened to come to this Tingyun Mansion.
He happened to hear that there was a flood in Tingyunfu, so with the compassionate mind of a monk, he wanted to take care of the flood.
This was not the case, and he just happened to run into Zhou An.
“I see.”
The two of them talked while walking.
But Zhou An saw from Wu Nian’s face that Wu Nian seemed to have an unfamiliar fear of his surroundings, and followed Zhou An dead on his heels.
This was probably the problem with their Phaseless Temple’s gong method.
This gong method was actually quite outrageous, and one would become a transparent person in the end of practicing it.
Of course, there were also benefits, such as not having to pay for meals, and then …… coughing up certain indescribable things.
“Arrived.”
Due to Zhou An leading the way, it didn’t take long for the two to arrive at the government office.
Zhou An pointed ahead and said, “Just go in yourself.”
He was only acting as a guide, and wanted to go back to continue his liver proficiency.
However, he did not expect that Wunian immediately became nervous once he saw Zhou An trying to leave.
“Scholar, lead again, the little monk is worried about getting lost on the way again.”
Zhou An said breathlessly, “It’s just such a short distance, you would get lost?”
Wunian surprisingly nodded his head very seriously, indicating that he was really afraid.
It was also at this time that a sound of footsteps resounded within the government office.
The Xu Prefectural Order hurriedly walked out from inside, carrying a dossier in his hand, and while walking, he also shouted, “Quickly! Quickly prepare the carriage, I’m going to take a look at those villages!”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou An and Wu Nian, and his brows immediately tightened.
Zhou An pointed at the Order of the Xu Mansion and said, “That’s the Order of the Mansion you’ve been trying to find, now that you’ve seen it, I’ll leave first.”
Without stopping, he turned around and prepared to leave.
But just at this time, not only Wunian, but even the Xu Fu Order rushed over, calling out Zhou An’s name as he did so.
Zhou An stopped his steps, turned his head to look, and saw Xu Fu Ling with a tangled look on his face, and couldn’t help but flirt, “Lord Xu, how come you’re interested in communicating with a jianghu reckless like us?”
His words carried a flirtatious tone.
Hearing this tone, the tangled look on Lord Xu’s face intensified, but without waiting for him to get tangled up for a moment, he walked over to Zhou An and suddenly arched his hand, “Lord Zhou, I was wrong about what happened before, I sincerely apologize this time, and I hope that Lord Zhou will be able to help me out.”
This expression, this stance, it caused Zhou An to be slightly stunned.
In fact, when Hu Haijin was talking to him about the character of Order Xu Fu, he had already figured it out.
A person like this was very pedantic and a very stubborn one.
Even if he hit the south wall, he would not necessarily be able to turn back.
However, he never expected that at this time, he would even arch his hand at himself and sincerely apologize.
This situation was indeed rare.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “When things go wrong, there must be a demon, Lord Xu, this is something to ask for, perhaps it has something to do with this flood.”
All Zhou An could think of was this matter.
Other than that, he couldn’t figure out why Lord Xu’s order would change so drastically.
As expected, after these words were said, Xu Fu Ling nodded his head unapologetically and said.
“Lord Zhou, I need your help.”
Zhou An shook his head, “I don’t have a solution for something like flooding, but this Master Wunian next to me, it seems like he’s specifically come over to help you deal with the flooding, so maybe he has a solution.”
He was right, with a natural disaster like this, what use was he, a man who could fight?
If you want him to carry a sword and chop people up, there’s nothing to say, it’s simple and easy, and it can be done to the extent of destroying a corpse.
But if you want him to mess with these things, he really doesn’t have the ability.
Wu Nian is a monk, belonging to the Buddhist sect, these days both the Buddhist and Taoist families are big heads among the Qi Refiners, and there are many different means of Qi Refiners, so handing over to Wu Nian, there might really be a way to do it.
As soon as Order Xu Fu heard this, he immediately looked at the monk Wu Nian next to him.
Wunian also hurriedly explained his intentions.
“The Great Chu Kingdom’s Top Ten Temples’ Wunian Temple? Wait, your name is Wunian, I heard that all the candidates for the future Buddha Sons will be ranked according to the Wuxian generation, and you are one of the candidates.”
Zhou An was originally listening to a funk, not realizing that the Wu Xiang Temple that Wu Nian was in was so bullish, and Wu Nian’s identity seemed to be quite impressive.
Wu Nian shook his head, “There are hundreds of candidates for the future Buddha’s son alone, the young monk is just lucky, in fact, he is not outstanding amongst the hundreds of candidates.”
It sounded like he was being modest, but actually being able to become a candidate was already impressive.
Xu Fu Ling’s face showed excitement, he felt that he had a helper this time, he might have unexpected gains, especially if it was a Qi Practitioner.
Zhou An looked left and right and felt that there was nothing for him here, so he was ready to turn around and leave.
He still had to go back to his Liver Proficiency.
The progress of the Swimming Dragon Steps had begun to bear fruit, so it was impossible to give up.
Unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, Xu Fu Ling stopped him again.
Zhou An’s face completely sank, “Lord Xu, I’ve been stopped a bit too many times today, but that doesn’t mean I really don’t have a temper.”
What the hell, just going up the street for a meal today.
First, it was Wu Nian stopping him, and now it was Lord Xu Fu Ling stopping him.
Xu Fu Ling took a deep breath, as if he hadn’t heard what Zhou An had said, and continued to arch his hand, going so far as to bend and bow to Zhou An.
“Lord Zhou, nowadays flooding is rampant, the people are suffering, you are an expert in casting the Dao, you may be able to play an unexpected role in this flooding, Xu Ren Ren has really offended a lot before, now Xu Ren Ren really isn’t doing this for himself.”
“Xu I only want to seek a way of life for the people, not to let the people be displaced, I implore Lord Zhou to accompany me to those villages, even if I can’t help, Xu I thank Lord Zhou for those people.”
Zhou An looked at the Xu Fu Order who bowed his head to himself.
At this moment, only the back of Xu Fu Ling’s head was left, and his entire body was bent down to him in a sincere manner.
Zhou An stroked his chin and said, “You, this person, are very interesting, and I’m very irritated by your personality, but those few words just now, they really are quite touching.”
The Xu Prefectural Order slowly raised his head, “If Lord Zhou helps, from now on, if Lord Zhou has any orders, as long as they do not go against the laws and orders of our Great Chu Kingdom, I will certainly do my best to help.”
The words had been said up to this point, and everything that needed to be said had been said in full.
Wunian was unaware of these two people’s situation, so when he heard the Xu Prefecture Order say this, he was also filled with bewilderment.
Zhou An put his hand down and said, “Let’s go.”
Xu Fu Order was slightly stunned, not expecting Zhou An to answer so quickly.
Zhou An said indifferently, “You should be glad that you didn’t speak to me in other ways, such as telling me that this is a special time, and that all the various organizations of the Great Chu Kingdom have to cooperate, if that was the reason, I would have told you that it was impossible.”
Begging the other party if he had spoken to him in that tone, he really wouldn’t have gone for it, and might have even given a slap on the wrist.
But the current Xu Fu Ling, used a pleading manner.
For such a pedantic scholar to be able to use this pleading tone for the sake of those people suffering from flooding, Zhou An felt that there was no harm in going to take a look.
If it could be solved, it would be solved by the way, and it wouldn’t take much time for him anyway.
Furthermore, now that he was in the Tingyun Prefecture, he was expected to stay for a while.
After establishing a good relationship with Order Xu Fu, it would also make his stay here smoother.
Human relations were also part of cultivation.
As for the previous displeasure, in the end it was just a little friction.
He was a normal person, not one of those fools who shouted I will go against the heavens.
To be able to turn a conflict into a peace, that was the best way.
A person’s nature could be hard, but others had already gone soft, and it was meaningless to bully someone who had gone soft.
Seeing Zhou An finally agreeing, Xu Fu Ling’s face revealed a happy look, and he no longer minded, asking the constable to quickly get the carriage over.
Then, he brought Zhou An and Wu Nian and rushed directly towards the outside of the Tingyun Mansion.
From Tingyun Mansion to those flooded villages, the closest would take nearly half an hour.
Zhou An sat in the carriage, and several people did not speak?
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery flying back outside the window, finally feeling the so-called climate of Tingyunfu.
The further out into the range, this air became more and more humid, perhaps ordinary people could not feel it.
But as a person in the line, one was able to feel it clearly.
“Has the climate of Tingyunfu always been like this?”
Zhou An asked.
Order Xu shook his head and said, “Usually it is not so exaggerated, this year’s climate, I don’t know why it has become so bizarre, alas, the people have really suffered lately.”
The further they went towards their destination, the air around the carriage became more and more humid, and the speed at which the carriage was traveling was slowing down.
Zhou An poked his head out from the position of the carriage window and realized that the ground had become incredibly wet.
The wheels of the carriage had also sunk into the mud, and traveling had become very difficult.
He withdrew his gaze and returned to the carriage, looking at Wunian at the side and said, “Since just now, there’s something wrong with you.”
As the carriage went deeper and deeper, Wunian’s expression became more and more grave, an expression that was obvious to everyone present.
Wunian shook his head, “Everything will naturally be revealed when we wait until we reach our destination, the little monk’s current guesses are not known to be true or false.”
Zhou An did not say anything.
After traveling like this for a while longer, the carriage eventually stopped.
By this time, Zhou An had already heard the sound of rain hitting the roof of the carriage.
Outside, the coachman handed up three oil paper umbrellas.
“Several adults, the rain is now exuberant, don’t catch a cold.”
Zhou An took the oil-paper umbrellas and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that a drizzling rain was falling outside.
He opened the umbrella and jumped down from the carriage, the soil under his feet was loose and full of water stains.
Looking at the drizzle, he turned his head and asked to the carriage driver, “How long has this rain been falling?”
The coachman sighed, his tone of voice with frustration, a downcast look, “This is still considered to be a small rain, some days ago, it was a pouring rain, not only the village house suffered, there are also the village road was also flooded quite a lot, coupled with the fact that it was supposed to be harvest time, now all the crops are all ruined.”
This kind of gentle rain, even if it continues, will cause quite a lot of damage, not to mention that some time ago, it was still pouring rain, so the damage is even worse and heavier.
At this time, Xu Fu Ling and Wu Nian also got out of the car.
Xu Fu Ling looked at the rain drifting down from the sky and said, “The road ahead is difficult to travel, the carriage will be waiting for us here, let’s walk together for a while.”
Zhou An nodded and the few people walked towards the front.
This section of the road was extremely difficult to walk on, there was mud everywhere, stepping on one foot would cause a lot more traces of mud and water to appear on the shoes.
A few people walked this way, Zhou An sort of understood that this rain had no tendency to stop.
After walking not too long ah, there was a small village in front of them, there was not a single person in the village, it looked cold and desolate.
“This village was originally very lively, the people have been temporarily transferred by me.” A trace of guilt appeared on Order Xu Fu’s face.
“Our Great Chu Kingdom’s heritage, is still a bit worse, these things may take a long time, before they can be completely resolved, I’m guarding this Tingyun Mansion, but it’s this situation, I’m ashamed of the people.”
“Go in and take a look.” Zhou An said.
A few people held oil paper umbrellas and walked into the village.
Inside the village, there were traces of being rained on everywhere, the houses had begun to mold, and the ground was heavily waterlogged.
A few people walked a little further and went to the fields.
The fields were all flooded, and the crops inside were all gone due to the flooding.
On this journey, Wu Nian remained silent until he finally opened his mouth after looking at the flooded crops in front of him.
