Otherworldly Days

Chapter 498 Hurry

At the beginning of July, the grain that was planted early can be harvested gradually. This year's harvest is not good, and many ears of wheat are dry and grainless. The harvested grain may be several percent less than last year.Many people's families rely on the grain in the field to feed themselves, and a year's harvest is equivalent to a family's food for a year.

However, compared to the lack of harvest in other places, the crops here can still support them, which is really lucky.

It was a dry day with no rain, and even the water level of the Fenshui River kept dropping. The most feared thing was that one day the source would be cut off, and the water in the river would dry up. At that time, they would have no water to eat.

The Fenshui River has not dried up for a hundred years, and the topography records a severe drought a hundred years ago. The water in the Fenshui River dried up, and many people died that year.Once the river dries up, the food in the fields will not survive, and the people will starve without food in their hands, and if they are hungry, they will die.

This river has raised countless people, and I only hope that its water can continue to flow like this.

Cao Xiangnan just came back from Nanyang, and he came back in a hurry after this trip, and he didn't stay in Nanyang City as much as before.When he went to Nanyang, Shen Zhengyang hadn't returned from Fengdu, and he didn't know whether he was still in Fengdu or returned to Nanyang.

That idiot Shen Zhengyang was also sincere to him and regarded him as a true friend, so he went to the Shen Mansion and left a message for Old Madam Shen, if something happened to Nanyang City, they could go to Fenshui Town past.After all, in troubled times, a small place is much better than a big place, even if he can't help the Shen family too much, he will try to help them as much as possible.

Old Mrs. Shen thanked the boy for his kindness, but neither accepted nor refused, and asked someone to prepare a gift to send the boy out.

After the daylight saving time, the seasons gradually shortened, and the sky was later and earlier than in summer. By the time Cao Xiangnan returned from Nanyang City, it was already late.It's just that the matter is urgent, and he has to rush into the village.

"Wanfeng, I still have to go into the village." He went home first, put down all his things, and was about to enter the village.

"Okay, Fulang, you go early and come back early, pay attention on the way." Qi Wanfeng didn't ask Fulang what happened, but told Fulang to pay attention on the road. At this time, it was chaotic outside, and he didn't want Fulang to be dark at the moment. He even went into the village, but he didn't say that, knowing that Fulang was in a hurry to rush into the village.

"I'll cook you some supper, and you'll come back to eat later," he said.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan replied, looking at his wife who was reluctant to part with him, he said, "I'll be back soon, you wait for me at home." Qi Wanfeng pulled the child who was holding on to his father, Let Fu Lang go and come back quickly.After finally seeing Dad come back and leave again, Xiao Baoer pouted, An An came to comfort Brother and told Brother that he would be back in a while.

Watching Fu Lang's carriage go away, Qi Wanfeng ordered people to close the door.

The number of thieves in the town has increased, and many people have lost things in their homes. At this time, people's stomachs are not full, and naturally some people will take risks and do some bad things.Fortunately, there were no thieves at home. Speaking of thieves, Qi Wanfeng remembered what happened at home back then.

After coming to live in the town, I was far away from those people in the compound.To be honest, there is no one in the family who makes trouble every day, so it is much quieter. Qi Wanfeng still likes to live here in the town, and there are many things less.

But it seems like they are going to live in the village soon.

"Okay, everyone is going to get ready for bed, and E-Mu has to prepare some food for Dad. Dad didn't eat anything all the way back." Qi Wanfeng picked up Xiao Bao'er who was following behind his heels, and I have to wipe this little guy's body, so as not to get prickly heat when he soaks in sweat.

After Xiaobao'er got the first prickly heat, he took care of him carefully in the future, fearing that the child would get prickly heat again, and the noisy people at night would not have to sleep.

This year's weather is extremely hot, hot and sunny, people in the hot area can't stand it.Fortunately, I have survived day by day, and it will be cold in a short time. When autumn is over, it will be winter.

"Daddy, don't sleep, don't sleep." Little Bao'er twisted her small body, and turned her head to stare at the direction of the door.

Daddy said to wait for the next time, Bao'er has to wait for Daddy.

"You lie on the bed and wait, daddy will be back in a while." When daddy comes back and you fall asleep, Qi Wanfeng smiles in his heart, as long as this little villain is dealt with, he will be much more relaxed.Little Bao'er is not difficult to take care of, but there are more things to do than Lele.

"Really?" Boa asked.

"Really." How could Eminem lie?E'Mu won't lie, Qi Wanfeng nodded seriously and said.

Cao Ruile followed behind his mother, listening to her trick Bao'er into sleeping.He just listened and didn't speak.

"An'an, Xiangzi, Xing'er, you go wash your face and go back to your room to sleep, you understand?" Qi Wanfeng took the younger ones back to their room, and he ignored the older ones eating and sleeping.

The husband has an order that the children are not allowed to be served by the servants of the family, and they can do their own things. If they can't do it, they can ask for help. Therefore, the children in the family have developed an independent temperament, and they have learned to do everything by themselves. Find someone if you can't.

"it is good."

"Good night Eminem, we're going back to bed."

The older ones don’t need him to worry about it anymore. The little An’an who used to like to run to E’Mu’s bed doesn’t go to A’Mu’s bed now, and goes back to their room with Xiao Xing’er. The relationship between the two little brothers is very good. They eat and live together and go to the village in a carriage. At this moment, every household in the village is closed, and there are still sporadic candles burning in the village.Cao Xiangnan went to Lizheng's place, knocked on the door of Lizheng's house, and heard a voice from inside, "Ah Zhao, it's me, Xiangnan." He replied that the door opened for him.

The voice was also heard in the room, and at the moment he was taking off his clothes to go to bed, when he heard the knock on the door, he put on his clothes again and went outside.

Cao Wenwu, the third boy of Lizheng's family, heard the voice, and came out of the house first. Seeing that it was Cao Xiangnan, he asked in surprise, "Brother Xiangnan, what's the matter with you coming so late?" Without waiting If people answered, he led them in.

"Father." Seeing Father standing at the door, Cao Wenwu called out.

"Yeah, I happened to have something to do, so I rushed over here." Cao Xiangnan went inside, sat down and told Li Zheng about the situation in Nanyang City. He didn't have time to inform others to come here at the moment, so he told Li Zheng first. Let him inform others tomorrow.

Li Zheng listened with a serious expression on his face.

"There are a lot of refugees in Nanyang. I'm afraid they will come to us at that time, so we have to make preparations as soon as possible." The situation is developing faster than they imagined. Once the refugees come to them Therefore, the grain they planted in the ground must be harvested as soon as possible.

Refugees are not to be feared, but the most feared are bandits and robbers. Once people are hungry, they will steal and rob.

After going to Nanyang, Cao Xiangnan also heard that rebels had risen in many places. They sounded like rebels, but they were bandits.This day can't go on anymore, people are forced to be bandits and robbers, and human nature becomes weak in the face of hunger, which has no weight at all.

"Okay, I understand this." Lizheng naturally understood the truth, he said, "I'll go to the field tomorrow to see if anyone's field can harvest grain, and I'll go over and call his family to harvest grain. "

The food at home should also be well hidden, not afraid of [-], just in case, food is a life-saving thing.This season's food will at least last until next year, and there will be a long winter. After the winter, the fields can grow crops.

Feeling that something was wrong earlier, Cao Xiangnan made preparations early. He also planted a lot of land this year, but there are more people this year.Fortunately, the plants were planted early at that time, and I wanted to take back the ones that could be harvested tomorrow, so as not to cause any accidents when it was too late, so I can harvest as much as I can now.

I don't know how many things are going to happen in the future, Cao Xiangnan hopes that the world can settle down soon, and they can live a better life without going through the troubles of this chaotic world.

Hearing that King Yi was named General Zhenbei and led troops to the northwest to quell the chaos, he felt relieved about it, knowing that once King Yi left, the battle would definitely be won.It's just that the old emperor looked like the prince, and Cao Xiangnan was also faintly worried when the prince appointed the eldest prince as the prince.

Now that they were all on the boat of Yiwang, in order to show his sincerity, he asked Chuanyu to bring over the grain bought from Chuanyu, and asked Chuanyu to transport it to Yiwang.Together with the processed medicinal powder bought from Luo Ronghuan at the "brother's price" and the materials he prepared for King Yi, they were all shipped to King Yi together.

Soldiers at the frontier have to eat enough to have the strength to fight, but where does the strength come from to fight when they are hungry?

Cao Xiangnan knew that at the beginning of the year Yu had his own way to send things to King Yi.

There was a flood in the southern land, followed by a plague, and many people didn't know how many people would die. They only hoped that this catastrophe would pass quickly.The prescription he sent to Prophet Zhao was only hoped to be useful.

"Okay, I'll go back." Bringing the words to Li Zheng, Cao Xiangnan was about to rush back to the town, fearing that his family would worry.Li Zheng personally sent people out of the door, and waved, "Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan replied, "I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Lizheng nodded, telling people to go back quickly.

Fortunately, nothing happened during the night trip, and I returned to the town smoothly.

Seeing her husband come back, Qi Wanfeng felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Supper is ready, I'm afraid it will be cold when you come back." Cao Xiangnan hugged his daughter-in-law, kissed her twice, and smiled Said softly, "Thank you, daughter-in-law."

"Don't make trouble!" Qi Wanfeng pushed him, but he didn't really push, with a smile on his face.
