Chapter 240 The Secret of the Territory (Part 2)
[Yiling]: "Even though the weather forecast has changed to Grain Rain, the subsequent description closely follows yesterday's changes."
[Yiling]: "Is it possible that Qingming and Guyu are the same disaster?"
As soon as Shu Lingyi said this, the public screen was immediately in an uproar, and everyone began to think about the possibility of her words.
【少卿不负卿】: "That's right. Guyu is derived from 'rain brings forth all kinds of grains'. In our traditional solar terms, it represents a significant increase in precipitation."
[Shao Qing Bu Fu Qing]: "So it is very likely that Guyu will also rain, and it is very likely to be connected with Qingming, and the rain will get heavier and heavier..."
[The really beautiful Queen Jian Wenshun]: "Really? If the rain gets any heavier, we won't be able to go out at all."
A group of people looked at the statement on the public screen and, combined with the system's reaction, almost confirmed that Qingming and Guyu were merged.
But... this makes life even more difficult!
[Elanmos]: “I finally made it to the last day of Qingming Festival, thinking that it was finally over, but then I was suddenly told - there are still 15 days left?!”
[Elanmos]: "The past fifteen days have been very painful. How should I get through the next few days?"
After accepting the fact of the merger of the solar terms, there were countless wails.
[Sweet soda is really good]: "I'm cracked. If things continue like this, the days ahead will only get harder. If it rains any harder, I'm afraid the sky will flood back."
Shu Lingyi also thought of this possibility. The rain on Qingming Festival was initially drizzle like silk, and people could not feel it when it fell on them.
Then came a drizzle. At first the drizzle didn’t fall quickly, but instead had the beauty of big and small beads falling on a jade plate.
The scenery of hazy clouds and calm green mountains is presented every day, making players want to recite a poem or two.
Although most uneducated people only know two sentences like "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road are heartbroken."
As the rain in the back became heavier, it crackled and hit everything.
Unlike the gentle little lover before, he looked like someone who was furious and running wild.
The rain continued to rage until the 21st, and it completely entered the heavy rain stage. It would have been fine if there was no wind, otherwise the storm would have roared like an angry lion.
Going out at this time is a double blow to both the physical and psychological aspects.
It has become a bit difficult to travel in the last few days of the Qingming Festival. Ordinary umbrellas can hardly withstand the rain, even though [Mihu Mihu] has gained a professional bonus for making umbrellas.
However, it is still inferior to the pure craftsman [Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu], and the durability of the bamboo umbrella drops very quickly when facing such a heavy rain.
There will also be sudden floods and monsters, so players almost reduce the frequency of going out.
In addition, due to the heavy rain, there were hardly any trees around that remained intact.
The Shuling District actually benefited a little because she stopped the large-scale felling of trees on the last day of the vernal equinox.
The situation in Su Ranran's area was particularly tragic. On the last day of the vernal equinox, they were still cutting down trees on a large scale, and they showed no restraint until the wet wood became incombustible.
As long as the weather refreshes every five days, they would rush to cut down the trees, even though Su Ranran and Yun Bao and the others kindly reminded them that it is not advisable to cut down trees excessively in this kind of weather.
No one listened.
When Grain Rain arrived, the population of the entire area dropped to 4860. Shulingyi was slightly better, with 7425 survivors.
However, if the current pace continues, with the Qingming and Guyu seasons merging and the disaster intensifying, I am afraid the death toll will increase further.
[Yi Ling]: "Everyone, try not to cut down trees. In this weather, the trees that are refreshed will be drowned in no time."
[Yi Ling]: "Just pick up bargains. If that doesn't work, you can trade wood with me."
As for not going out and making a deal with Shu Ling, that's very simple. Now there will be floods every day bringing aquatic monsters to attack players.
As long as you kill the monster and are still alive, you can contact Shu Lingyi to trade with him.
Anyway, the meat, crystals, and even some materials and drawings decomposed from the monsters can all be given to Shu Lingyi.
As for whether Shu Lingyi has enough wood, there is no need to worry too much, as she has stockpiled a lot of it.
And at worst, Luo Zhiqing and Jiang Wang could both live with her, so she would only need to keep one room heated.
Qi Xuanze packed up his things and sent them to Zhong Qingwei, asking Comrade Zhong to keep him for a while.
Moreover, the drainage system has been completed, and her reservoir has accumulated a lot of water in recent days.
The rainwater collector is even more convenient. Shu Lingyi collects a portion of it every day and puts it into his own water purifier, and the rest flows into the reservoir.
The criss-crossing drainage pipes underground combined with the drainage channels on the ground mean that even heavy rain will not cause much damage to the soil.
After surviving the Grain Rain season, the storage capacity of her reservoir can definitely be filled up directly - the kind that meets the standards of a large reservoir.
She worked hard for a while, and now the reservoir has become a medium-sized reservoir. If she saves more materials, she can upgrade it to a large reservoir.
[Sweet soda is really good]: "This is what it feels like to have a big boss protecting me. I'm willing to cling to him for the rest of my life!"
[Su Jiu]: "Become a leg pendant for the boss!"
[I Want to Be Quiet]: "Come to think of it, now farmland can be transformed into paddy fields. I got a lot of lotus root seeds and plan to plant them all tomorrow."
[Ge Er who loves grilled oysters]: "Although the mutant wheat can tolerate waterlogging, this weather is really not suitable for growing these."
[Ge Er who loves grilled oysters]: "But when I killed the piranha, I opened a bag of hybrid rice!"
[Jing Yu]: "I have this too, but I sold it to Boss Yi Ling."
The crops have already been planted and will be ready for harvest in five days. The pace is amazing.
By then, the other rice plants can be planted one by one. She has her territory protected by Lucky Bamboo and European Emperor Luo Zhiqing, so she is not too worried that she will be submerged by the flood later.
[Jing Yu]: "Now that things have come to this, everyone should go to sleep and get up early tomorrow to continue to work hard for survival."
[Su Shuangwen fans]: "Good night, everyone."
Everyone said good night to each other as a spiritual comfort, and then lay down and went to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, the public screen was full of players who woke up early because the stone house was leaking. Qi Xuanze had already rushed to assemble the 2400 water pipes she had made over the past few days.
She was ready to put it up for sale, and Qi Xuanze was happily waiting for the gold coins to arrive in his account. After the Grain Rain, he could buy a new house!
"I still have a bright future!" Although the heavy rain made it almost impossible to see the road ahead, Qi Xuanze was in a very good mood.
