Lin Baichi and Hu Yunxiao from Qinghe Village left and went up the mountain.
Lin Xiucai and Zhang Qiang from Taohua Village also went up the mountain with dry food.
This news was not deliberately concealed. It can even be said that they told the people around them in advance, entered the mountains openly, and then met at the agreed place and set off together.
Some people wanted to follow suit, but they returned in less than a day. Lacking experience in long-term mountaineering, they simply couldn't survive in the mountains. Even when they went deep into the mountains, they couldn't tell the directions.
The most important thing is that one person cannot carry too much water and food, and no one has the confidence to be self-sufficient in the mountains.
As the climate grew hotter and the rain became less and less, the crops in the fields dried up, and the water level in the river almost reached the bottom, and people finally began to panic.
Most families who had enough food stored at home were fine, but the most devastated were the people in Qinghe Village.
Over the past year, all families who grew high-yield crops have had a bumper harvest. Their lives have visibly improved, and even the people themselves are more energetic.
But Qinghe Village remains the same as before.
No matter where the seeds were bought from, even if they were sold at a high price, one still had to tighten one's belt to barely get enough to avoid starvation.
There is no extra food stored at home, and now the drought is coming, isn't this pushing people into a desperate situation?
But what is even more despairing is that as time goes by, there is no rain, no relief from the court, and no hope.
The village chief stood on the big millstone in front of his house, holding a pipe in his hand, but just holding it in his mouth. Most of the people in the town had fled and could no longer buy tobacco.
His house is located on a higher ground. Standing on the millstone, he can just see the end of the village, the only courtyard with two entrances in the village.
Hu Yunxiao and Lin Baichi went up the back mountain and entered the forest early in the morning in front of the villagers.
It has been more than three months now and he still hasn't come back.
They didn't bring much with them at the time. Only Hu Yunxiao carried a backpack, which should be food.
Either he found water in the mountains, or he died in the mountains.
"Village chief, the water in the river and the well has dried up. Now we can only go to Lin Baichi's house. They dug a well a while ago. I heard the uncle who dug the well say that it was very deep."
At this time, the whole village was desolate. Before, everyone went to the river to fetch water to irrigate the crops and try to harvest the little food in the fields.
Unfortunately it was of no use, as even the river was completely dry by now, the last bit of silt dried up and cracked open, revealing the rotting fish and shrimp underneath.
At this time, everyone has chapped lips and rough skin. Some people's skin begins to crack and fall off. The whole person is like a dry leaf, lacking life and vitality.
Not only Qinghe Village, but most of the provincial capital was in such a desperate situation.
At this time, everyone in Qinghe Village turned their attention to the eye-catching two-story courtyard at the end of the village.
No one has taken care of it for two months, and the originally beautiful little courtyard has now become a bit dilapidated. There was originally a jujube tree sticking out in the yard, but now it is dead and even all the leaves have fallen off.
The village chief was still hesitating. He was really a little scared now.
Over the past year or so, I have watched as other villages have all grown high-yield crops and are all living a good life.
But because their Qinghe Village had offended a demon, no, it had offended an immortal, no matter what seeds they used or how carefully they tended the crops, the yield was still the same as before.
At first, I firmly believed that Lin Baichi was a white-haired monster. How could a normal person have white hair? Even his eyebrows and eyelashes were all white!
But now, he has already wavered in this idea.
If it is a monster, why hasn't it really hurt anyone in the village in all these years?
Is it really like what others say, that Lin Baichi is the God of Agriculture who came down to earth to spread high-yield seeds, and that the people of Qinghe Village were punished because they offended the God of Agriculture and will never be able to grow high-yield crops?
Seeing that the village chief was still hesitating, everyone became anxious and someone directly pulled the village chief's grandson over.
"Village chief, look at Xiaobao. If you don't make a decision, Xiaobao will die of thirst!"
The little water they had stored was long gone.
Xiaobao pulled the village chief's sleeve, his face was haggard and his voice was hoarse.
"Grandpa, I'm thirsty."
Xiaobao's parents even knelt down.
"Dad, make a decision quickly, don't hesitate, now the only way is to go to that monster Lin Baichi's house and take a look!"
The village chief glanced at everyone's faces and gritted his teeth.
"Okay! Let's go check it out first!"
