Chapter 1468.

Flowers blossom and fall a few spring winds. Ye Dai leaned in Wang Chen’s arms, unable to even move her fingers, and suddenly shed tears.

Feeling something strange, Wang Chen looked down and saw his wife silently shedding tears, and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did it hurt?”

Ye Dai gently shook her head and whispered, “Husband, do you think I should go to the Linshui Temple outside the city to pay homage to the Bodhisattva, I heard that it’s quite effective in seeking a child there.”

She and Wang Chen had been married for three years, but with day after day of clouds and rain, her stomach had never gotten bigger.

This matter had become Ye Dai’s heart disease.

She used to suppress it in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but show her true feelings, “Or go to see the doctor and ask for a prescription.”

For Ye Dai, marrying Wang Chen was the most correct choice for her.

In the past three years, she had lived an extremely happy life.

But if she couldn’t give birth to a child, and there was no way to pass on the family name for Wang Dust, then such happiness was bound to dissipate!

As a result, Wang Chen cried and laughed, “Dai’er, this is not your problem, it’s mine!”

“Huh?”

Ye Dai instantly froze.

It suddenly occurred to her that besides herself, Xiao Yu had never gotten pregnant.

Ye Dai couldn’t help but become terrified, “Husband…”

She didn’t expect the problem to be with Wang Chen and was afraid that this problem would make the latter sad or even angry.

“Don’t worry…”

Wang Chen sensed his wife’s trepidation and softly consoled, “I’ve been practicing my family’s martial arts, and I’m currently in the realm of refining essence and transforming qi, so I’m unable to give birth to an heir.”

“As long as you break through to the level of Practicing Qi Transformation, then you won’t have this problem.”

Ye Dai was confused, “Husband, you’re still a martial arts practitioner?”

Refining essence and transforming qi, practicing qi and transforming god, these two terms were really lofty, making her feel unfathomable when she heard them.

In fact, Ye Dai knew that Wang Chen was not an ordinary Xiu Cai, after all, it was a pillow person who had spent three years together, it was impossible for Wang Chen to hide impeccably, and he usually exposed some extraordinary things more or less.

But she never expected that Wang Chen’s strength reached a point beyond imagination.

“Yes.”

Wang Chen kissed her forehead, “In fact, I should have told you about this long ago, letting you worry for so long for nothing, this is my husband’s fault.”

“No.”

Ye Dai’s pretty face blushed, “It’s my concubine who was too anxious, so how long will it take for husband to break through the Qi Practicing Transformation God?”

It can’t be ten or eight years, right?

In that case, even if her own family was clear, it was not good to explain to outsiders, and it would definitely attract a lot of rumors.

Other than that, her old man Ye Xiangming would definitely be concerned and ask about it!

“Within three years.”

Wang Chen replied confidently, “I will practice Qi and transform into a God!”

In fact, this rhetoric of his was completely made up to put Ye Dai’s mind at ease.

The truth was that although Wang Dust practiced mundane feats and martial arts, his inability to give birth to an heir was due to his body.

Because even though Wang Dust had sealed all of his cultivation, his body was still an Immaculate Immortal Body, so it would be impossible to have a child with a mortal – similar to two species.

But this problem could be solved.

Wang Chen had read countless Dao canon law books in the past, and had seen ways to solve it.

He hadn’t paid attention to this problem earlier, but now that Ye Dai had mentioned it, it was only natural that he would take the trouble to fix it.

“That’s good.”

Ye Dai finally let go of her heart, a big stone that was pressed on her heart then fell to the ground, and she fell into a deep sleep with a sweet smile.

Early the next morning, Wang Dust left home early, carrying a fishing rod to go fishing in the Clear Water River outside the city.

Before they got married, Wang Duan was the most dedicated fisherman, usually in addition to giving lessons to the children of the Pavilion School, the main recreational activity was fishing.

The fish he caught also gave the students additional meals and supplements.

After he got married, the number of times he fished was greatly reduced, coupled with the expansion and remodeling of the school was very busy, so he could fish two or three times a month would be very good.

Recently, Wang Chen counted nearly two months without casting a rod.

However, when he arrived outside the city, the sight he saw in front of him gave him a shock.

Outside Qing’an County, the banks of the Qingshui River were reclaimed with a large amount of farmland, mainly planted with rice crops.

Due to the nourishment of this long river, the annual production of rice was good, which to a large extent ensured the long-term stability of the price of rice in the county.

However, as one looked around now, most of the paddy land was dry, with many of the rice showing signs of yellowing, obviously the result of a lack of irrigation.

As a matter of fact, the Qing Shui River had not cut off its flow, but the water level had dropped severely, causing the foot-powered waterwheel connecting the canals to fail to reach the water surface, making it impossible for farmers to fetch water to irrigate.

When Wang Dust arrived at the riverside, he saw a group of farmers gathered around the waterwheel with sad faces, each with a look of anxiety and trepidation on their faces.

There were also some farmers using buckets tied with long ropes to pump water towards the river, but this was too inefficient.

It was simply impossible to meet the water demand of the paddy fields.

Wang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you guys go and customize new water carts?”

An old farmer replied sadly, “Sir, you don’t know, this is the waterwheel that was just customized a few days ago, and it cost everyone a lot of money, but as a result, the water level has been dropping very quickly in the past few days, alas!”

He sighed heavily, his eyes full of pain and despair.

The pedal waterwheel for water extraction is not something cheap, the difficulty of making it is quite high, not a master teacher can’t do it well at all, and the longer it is, the more expensive it is.

Just made a new waterwheel and can’t use it, this is a hell of a joke!

Another farmer whispered, “Our Qing’an side is still good, I heard that the drought in the next county is even worse, and there are already stragglers.”

Another farmer was indignant, “It’s almost fall, if it doesn’t rain, all our rice here will have to be finished as well, now the price of rice in the city has more than doubled, God is going to kill us!”

The person next to him immediately covered his mouth, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

The drought is this bad?

Wang Dust was a little heavy-hearted even as he listened.

Even if the price of rice rose even higher, he still had a way to ensure that his family had enough to eat, and would never go hungry because of it.

But if this drought continues, the always peaceful Qing’an County must be a big problem!

Thinking of this, Wang Dust no longer had any desire to fish.

He rode the big black donkey back to the city and went to the county office to see the county minister Ye Xiangming, who is also his old husband.

With Wang Chen’s current status, it was still no problem for him to meet Ye Xiangming.

But the old man was surprised to see him.

Because Wang Chen and Ye Dai had been married for three years, this was the first time Wang Chen had come to his door.

It felt like things were a bit big.

However, what made Ye Xiangming even more unanticipated was that Wang Dust was actually looking for him this time for the drought matter!

“Father-in-law.”

Wang Dust borrowed a pen and paper and hand-drew a simple drawing, “This is my hometown’s artesian water truck, not only can you adjust the depth of the water you take in, but you don’t need to drive it by human power, it’s very convenient.”

“I hope to have the county office step in and organize craftsmen to manufacture it to alleviate the drought and save the rice fields!”
