Chapter 92 Three Years of Drought

The drought not only brought about a total crop failure, but also left the people without water.

Water is very important to people.

Washing clothes, cooking, and washing the body all require water. If there is no water, many people will die of thirst alone.

"Quick, pass on my order, build water cellars, the more the better!"

Knowing that the drought would come, the county magistrate immediately sent people to inform the people to store more water and food.

He himself carried two jars of wine and came to the Gan family's residence.

Gan Tian was holding a big grape in her hand, and the grape was about the size of her little fist.

She held the grape, and her little fist was full. The chubby little fist was pink and tender, super cute.

She has now grown two small teeth, although not many, but it is still possible to bite through the grape.

While no one was paying attention, she quietly bit the grapes and drank the juice inside.

So sweet.

Woohoo.

The aroma of the grapes lingered in her mouth, and it finally didn't taste like milk powder anymore.

She is still just a baby now, and too much sugar intake may cause diabetes. Although she is greedy, she is also very sensible.

She sucked the juice inside very carefully, and when she saw her brothers coming over, she generously handed the grapes in her hand to them.

[Brothers, eat, it's my treat.]

She is very generous.

Her brothers will definitely be moved by her behavior. She completely forgot about the sweetness and ate the grapes in her hand without washing them.

Not only were they unwashed, but they were also covered with her saliva.

Although her brothers were somewhat moved, it was not much.

"Sister, you can't eat it. You have to wash it first."

"This is confiscated."

Gan Huaizhong said as he put the grapes away.

Gan Tian was really angry and screamed.

[Bad brother, you are so bad.]

Gan Huaizhong listened to his sister's voice and couldn't help but stretched out his finger and flicked the boy's head.

The action was gentle and didn't hurt, and it was a bit doting.

But because the grapes were confiscated, their friendship was still overturned.

The boy cried.

Zhixian heard it as soon as he entered the door. Although he didn't know what the boy said, he must have cursed very dirty.

"Your body is really strong."

Hearing Zhixian's words, Gan Tian was stunned.

[Strong body? ]

[Is this a word to compliment girls? 】

【I must have been abandoned, I was abandoned. 】

The little girl turned over with great effort, facing the wall, with her little butt facing everyone. Although she didn't say a word, everyone felt her grievance.

At this time, a clean grape fell from the sky. Looking at the clean grape, she grabbed the grape with sweet excitement.

【Grape, my grape. 】

She turned over again, holding the grape and sucking it, while quietly observing Zhixian.

Zhixian was humble.

"Yesterday I was blind to the greatness of the earth. When I saw the food that appeared out of nowhere, I realized that I was narrow-minded."

"I came here today hoping that you, my wise brother, could help me save the people of Shixi Town."

As the magistrate said this, he put down the wine jar in his hand and kowtowed to Gan Fanren. Seeing this, Gan Fanren hurriedly helped the magistrate up.

"Your Excellency does not need to do this."

"I have told you that I am the messenger of the goddess. I am here to help you under the order of the goddess. I will do my best."

Gan Fanren said, "I wonder if you know about Mubei County in Tongmen Pass."

"Of course I know. Mubei is one of the ten counties in Tongmen Pass. Soon after the flood, Tongmen Pass was hit by heavy rains that destroyed the road surface. It had to be closed for a whole month. When it was reopened, the county government of Mubei had already been replaced by many new faces."

At that time, he also heard from his subordinates that Mubei had suddenly undergone a major change. The county magistrate, the chief clerk, the county lieutenant, and many other important officials were replaced.

This was quite strange. At that time, they only said that because of the lack of food, those officials sacrificed themselves, but he just felt it was strange.

What kind of god actually wants so many court officials to offer sacrifices? It must be some evil god!

But from what Gan Fanren said, the matter in Mubei County seems to be related to that goddess. If that's the case, then wouldn't the goddess also want him -

his expression darkened: "Brother Xian means that the goddess also wants me to sacrifice myself?"

He gritted his teeth: "If my life can be exchanged for the lives of the people of Shixi Town, I will never refuse."

When he was in Mubei County, Gan Fanren didn't think about rebelling, nor did he think about using the goddess's reputation to do things later, so he didn't do things properly.

Seeing the county like this, he could only smile bitterly.

If nothing is done to remedy it, I'm afraid the goddess will turn into a witch.

"Your Excellency, the county magistrate has misunderstood. The reason why the goddess asked those people to offer sacrifices was because local officials colluded with grain merchants to raise grain prices. At that time, Mubei County was littered with corpses and countless people were starved to death."

"The goddess was furious, so she asked those corrupt officials to offer sacrifices. Your Excellency is a good person and always thinks about the people. The goddess will naturally not take your life."

So that's it.

Although Tongmen Pass and Xuyang Pass are somewhat distant, they occasionally have some intersections. Zhen Youcai knows what those people are like very well, and he is not surprised that they can do such a thing.

"So that's how it is. I misunderstood the Goddess."

"No problem, the Goddess won't mind."

Gan Fanren said, "Although the Goddess is a deity, her power is low and her abilities are limited, otherwise she wouldn't allow heavenly punishment to come to the world."

"If you want her help, you need to build a temple for the Goddess. With a temple, the Goddess can use the statue as a medium to help the people."

It is not difficult to build a temple for the Goddess, and Zhen Youcai agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, envoy of the gods. I will ask people to build the temple of the goddess right away."

Zhen Youcai was afraid that his negligence would cause dissatisfaction with the goddess, so he did not dare to delay for a moment. It took only five days from site selection to the completion of the temple of the goddess.

Among them, it took only one day to build the temple, and five days to carve the statue of the goddess.

If it had not taken some effort to carve the statue of the goddess, it would have been built that day.

Gan Fanren held Gan Tian in his arms, and the father and daughter walked around the temple of the goddess. Gan Tian hurriedly opened the virtual city system, scanned the temple of the goddess, and recorded the coordinates here.

The day after the temple of the goddess was built, 100 stone of refined rice, 100 stone of flour, 100 catties of green vegetables, and 100 catties of pork appeared in it.

Looking at these grains, Zhixian burst into tears. These grains were enough to feed the people of the entire Shixi Town.

The people of Shixi Town suddenly found that the clear porridge had turned into white rice, and the rough cakes had turned into big, fragrant and soft cakes. They even had vegetables.

Although the 100 kilograms of pork was not much, everyone had one or two pieces of meat in their bowls. When everyone saw the meat, tears came out.

Although the chef's cooking skills were limited, this was fragrant white rice, and this was meat.

And there was no fishy smell at all!
