Chapter 84 On the Eve of the Drought



What the village chief didn't know was that there would indeed be a drought, and it would last for several years. Because of this, many people starved to death, and it was for this reason that the rural outreach program began.

At this moment, Feng Biluo looked at the village chief and said, "Grandpa Village Chief... let's plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the land we're reclaiming. Those things are drought-resistant."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Village Chief Feng nodded. At this moment, Village Chief Feng went directly to a meeting with the villagers. Feng Biluo knew that Village Chief Feng was a smart man.

It's worth noting that the village chief was a student who had only completed the first level of education, but the previous dynasty collapsed shortly after he became chief, leaving him with no opportunity to use his talents. However, many things happened afterward, rendering education useless. But even though it was useless, one thing remained unchanged: there was a difference between those who studied and those who didn't.

Village Chief Feng immediately convened a meeting, declaring that the village would not sell grain the following year. Upon hearing Village Chief Feng's words, the villagers agreed without hesitation, as similar things had happened in previous years.

This year's early rice harvest yielded about twice as much grain as in previous years, with even more in some areas. The villagers were overjoyed to see the golden rice, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"Biluo's rice seeds are really good. Look at this, the yield is much higher than in previous years. We're so happy!" A villager said as he looked at the grain. Everyone was overjoyed by the yield.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo smiled. She felt that she had forgotten something, but even if she couldn't remember, she knew what she should do. At this moment, Feng Biluo watched as the rice was being dried and helped with the work.

The news of this bumper harvest in Qishan'ao reached the national authorities, who reported, "This is another bumper harvest; the millet can now be distributed." However, the limited availability of millet seeds was a problem, so the government could only distribute the seeds to some of the more impoverished areas.

Those places could only improve their lives by obtaining these grain seeds, and now Qishan Valley also got to perform, with Feng Biluo even receiving the national medal for outstanding farmer, which made the villagers extremely happy.

Of course, it wasn't just the villagers who were overjoyed; many others were also envious. Feng Biluo had received quite a few rewards at this moment. At this time, Feng Biluo looked into the distance with a smile on her face.

The ability to change the entire future of the village was the happiest thing for Feng Biluo. The late rice had already been planted, but after the planting, Feng Biluo found that there had been no rain for the past six months, and Ji Huangquan had been working from dawn till dusk for the past six months.

The chicken coop and the factory have been operating normally these days. However, Feng Biluo understands that with the arrival of drought, the factory will have to shut down. After all, food is essential. If others have no food, how can they possibly feed the livestock?

At this time, Feng Biluo plans to close the factory during the drought next year. He also plans to use the factory to buy some grain in case of emergency, so that he can distribute food to the people in the factory.

Feng Biluo directly asked Ji Huangquan, who had just returned, "You want me to buy rice and flour in the name of the factory?" He looked at Feng Biluo and said. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo nodded and looked at Ji Huangquan.

“Yes, we should buy it in the factory’s name. That way, there won’t be too many problems. It would be best to buy it from places that aren’t prone to drought,” Feng Biluo said. If they bought the grain from drought-stricken areas, many people there would go hungry.

“Then let’s go abroad.” Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan, who smiled and said, “Buy the food abroad and put it in our space, then buy grain in some places in China earlier, mix it all together, and no one will know.” Ji Huangquan said, looking at Feng Biluo.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan and nodded, thinking the idea was acceptable. "Okay, but how do you plan to go abroad?" Going abroad isn't something you can just do whenever you want.

"You don't need to worry about that. But my only concern is what will happen to Qian Duoduo while I'm abroad." He said to Feng Biluo, knowing that if Qian Duoduo caused trouble while he was abroad, it would be very difficult for Feng Biluo.

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo glanced at Ji Huangquan and couldn't help but laugh. "How much do you look down on me?" Feng Biluo said, feeling that the other party was really looking down on her, actually doubting her abilities.

Upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan looked at Feng Biluo with a worried expression, only to see Feng Biluo smile and say directly, "I will be fine."

Upon hearing Feng Biluo's words, Ji Huangquan glanced at her and finally nodded in agreement to leave. Ji Huangquan was actually somewhat worried about leaving, fearing that something might happen to Feng Biluo.

However, he also understood that Feng Biluo's ability to become a transmigrator, to come to this world, and to obtain space and so many other things meant she was very capable, so there was no need to worry too much. However, the fact that she no longer needed his protection made him feel somewhat lost.

Amidst this sense of loss, her expression became somewhat complicated. Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Biluo... I'm sorry, I didn't protect you when you were most vulnerable." He said to Feng Biluo. He realized that he hadn't protected her when she was most vulnerable, and now that she didn't need his protection, and he wanted to protect her and could have, the opportunity was long gone.

"Biluo, no matter when, if you feel vulnerable, you can tell me." Ji Huangquan said as he looked at Feng Biluo. Upon hearing Ji Huangquan's words, Feng Biluo looked at him.

When Feng Biluo looked at Ji Huangquan, a smile appeared on her face. She looked at him with a complicated expression, but still nodded. "Okay, if I encounter any danger, I will ask you to protect me."

Looking at Ji Huangquan in front of him, Feng Biluo smiled and said, "When Ji Huangquan saw Feng Biluo's smile, his feelings became more complicated, because at that moment he did not feel happy, but only a deep sense of loss and sadness."

Feng Biluo and Ji Huangquan did not hesitate on this matter. Ji Huangquan also understood that Feng Biluo was not someone who would shrink back and look behind. At this time, everyone had their own troubles, but it was impossible to stop for the sake of these troubles.

It just so happens that Feng Biluo isn't that kind of person, and neither is Ji Huangquan at this moment. Both of them need to move forward. What Feng Biluo needs to do now is to prepare food. Feng Biluo told Ji Huangquan about this.

Ji Huangquan also planned to prepare food in a few days. It would be troublesome to use the space if it wasn't used in time for a drought. Moreover, it would be easier to buy things abroad because Ji Huangquan currently had a universal currency, which was none other than gold. This gold was found in the mountains and was left behind by the ghost.
