Chapter 33: Survive the Summer Safely



Could it be that the Royal Palace in the capital has some unique way to escape the summer heat?

Ji Wan could only find in her memory that she and her mother hid in the cold palace during the scorching summer.

Even if there was no ice back then, it wouldn't be as unbearable as it is now.

Could it be that the unique geographical location of the cold palace makes it not particularly hot in summer?

Ji Wan didn't know what was going on either, after all, she had never left the cold palace in the previous twelve years.

She was thrown into Qingshizhou right after coming out of the cold palace.

But the past is not important. The most important thing is whether we can safely get through the summer this year.

The weather was extremely hot and humid, there was not a breath of wind, and the thick air seemed to be frozen.

Ji Wan’s cultivation level is currently low, and the dissipation of his spiritual energy cannot sustain a whole night.

She was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night, and there was a commotion outside because of the water supply to the citizens.

Ji Wan felt uncomfortable due to the heat. After thinking about it, he got dressed and went to the door to help.

As soon as Ji Wan stepped out of the county magistrate's mansion, he could see a simple square shed.

The shed is surrounded by exquisite array patterns.

The dim candlelight reflected many busy figures inside.

The shed is bustling with activity, and the ten children are so busy that their faces are covered with sweat.

Many of the children's hands were shining with spiritual light, and they were continuously using magic to condense water droplets into huge wooden barrels.

There were also some little rascals who were so exhausted that they sat cross-legged to recover their spiritual strength.

On the side of the shed stood a row of soldiers holding spears to protect Carrot Head.

Opposite the children were some city residents who were sweating all over, standing in line and occasionally turning their heads to chat with people around them.

Many people were terribly hot.

Ji Wan could see at a glance that several men were shirtless.

Carrying the wooden bucket, he stretched his neck from time to time to check the progress of the people queuing up to get water in front of him.

Some of them had snow-white cotton cloth draped around their necks, which they would occasionally use to wipe their sweat.

Everyone is in good spirits at the moment, at least no one looks dead silent.

These farmers who always work in hot weather may be accustomed to the summer temperature outside.

So I still have the strength

But there were very few women, and there were only two or three elderly women in the long queue.

Not a single young one.

Maybe it’s unsafe at night, so the people who come out to fetch water are the pillars of each family.

Or maybe the woman is weak and is too hot to leave the house in this kind of weather.

It took no more than two hours from the time Ji Wan gave the order to the time the sheds were built and the time the people actually got water.

Jiang Jian ordered his men to beat gongs and the princess, who had been shouting in the city for two hours, to apply water to the county magistrate's mansion.

The temperature rose suddenly a few days ago. No one has ever experienced such a scene.

Although the princess gave everyone a lot of water, they still couldn't withstand the high temperature that exceeded the human body's tolerance limit for three or four days.

The rate at which Ji Wan's stored water was being consumed increased sharply.

After two or three days of high temperature, the water tanks of many families have already been empty.

Even some weak and unlucky guys went to the underworld early and met the King of Hell.

Everyone tightened their belts to save water, fearing that they would die of thirst or heat.

When everyone heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess had brought water again, they were ecstatic.

Some even danced with joy and cried with excitement.

I thought that as long as we had water, we could all survive this scorching heat.

So everyone is in pretty good shape now.

There were several families with children sitting in the shed, using magic to save ordinary mortals like them.

The parent was so happy that he wanted to show off to all the strangers around him.

It makes people feel sad and jealous.

These children really gave their parents a lot of face.

"Hey, it's Princess Yongkang!"

A dark-skinned man with sharp eyes saw Ji Wan limping out.

I immediately couldn't help but shout out loudly.

The atmosphere in the crowd suddenly became excited, and everyone looked in the direction of the man's shout.

Ji Wan was seen limping towards them.

Many people hurriedly wanted to kneel down and salute.

Ji Wan took two quick steps and gave the citizens some support.

Everyone kneeled down, she couldn’t help them all up one by one!

"No need to be so polite, folks. The weather has been hot these past few days. If you have a headache or fever, you can come directly here.

The doctor I arranged will be here to see patients tomorrow.

Just one copper coin can cure any disease."

You have to collect the money! If you don't, Ji Wan will go bankrupt!

Ji Wan had previously paid for the education of the children in the academy out of her own pocket.

The children's expenses will rise further in the coming days.

The citizens of the city have received kindness from the children, so it’s not too much to give them a few copper coins in return to give them some extra meals!

Nowadays, the starting price for a medical clinic to treat a patient is one string of coins, regardless of whether the patient is cured or not.

One copper coin is already very little.

You can earn half a copper coin by embroidering two handkerchiefs.

So almost everyone can afford to see Ji Wan for medical treatment.

It is really difficult for Ji Wan to raise such a large group of children by herself.

It would be better if we all worked together and contributed money to raise the children.

The children also come to give back to them.

A positive cycle that never ends.

This is the way to development.

After hearing Ji Wan's words, the villagers were eager to try it out.

After all, a consultation fee of one copper coin is really too cheap.

"Then I'll bring my wife over tomorrow to take a closer look!"

A burly dark-skinned man wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile.

The day before yesterday, his wife was burned by farm tools under the scorching sun while working in the fields.

I have been dizzy and unable to get out of bed for the past two days, and I also got a big blister on my calf.
