Chapter 549 Extra Chapter: A Long Drought Inevitably Leads to Disaster, the Insect House is Coming
"You think you're so great at being a peacemaker?" Xie Zhili and Xie Zhiyan rolled their eyes at Xie Zhiheng, who was trying to play peacemaker.
Xie Leyao had thrown all the fish in the puddle onto the shore, leaving them with nothing to catch. The four boys dejectedly went ashore, dressed, and carried the fish Xie Leyao had left behind, heading towards Lin Luoxi's direction.
"What's wrong with you two?" Lin Luoxi asked curiously when she saw Xie Zhili and Xie Zhiyan with their lips pouting.
"Big brother, second brother is still angry because he saw little sister use her special ability to catch the fish," Xie Zhiheng answered Lin Luoxi's question first.
"Oh, you're so good with words!" Xie Zhili glared at Xie Zhiheng, picked up the knife and the fish, and went back to the river to process them.
"Hehe..." Xie Zhichu laughed gleefully when he saw Xie Zhiheng being scolded.
"What are you laughing at!" Xie Zhiheng felt wronged after being scolded. Seeing Xie Zhichu still making fun of him, he glared back angrily and went to the river to process the fish he was holding.
Fearing that Lin Luoxi would lecture him, Xie Zhiyan quickly grabbed the fish and ran to Xie Zhili's side.
"Yaoyao, come here!" Lin Luoxi wanted to laugh as she watched the children sulking.
But as a parent, she could only strictly demand of herself that she not laugh.
Seeing Xie Leyao standing beside him, looking lost and helpless, he reached out and beckoned her over.
"Mother, I didn't mean to, I, I..." Xie Leyao almost burst into tears, feeling wronged.
She used to be able to play with her brothers, but ever since the separation of boys and girls was established, Xie Zhili and the others could go swimming shirtless. She was resentful, so…
"You should use your superpowers less in the future."
"It's not that I'm saying superpowers are bad, but if you use them and malicious people find out, it will be detrimental to you, understand?"
"If you want to play with the older brothers, you can go into the water fully clothed, and then change out of your wet clothes later."
"Besides, you're a girl, the water's so dirty. You could help your brothers pick up the fish from the water, that's a way of helping out too..."
She really went to great lengths to ensure the children were united and friendly.
"Okay, Mother, I understand." Xie Leyao seemed to have been persuaded, or perhaps she had figured it out herself. Carrying the fish in her hand, she ran happily towards Xie Zhili and the others.
"Wife, the children are going to kill so many big fish, will we be able to finish them all?"
Xie Hanchuan, who watched the children catch and process the fish the whole time, felt that the children's tantrums were not the problem. The real problem was whether they could finish eating the three or four-pound fish that each of them was carrying.
"Hehe, what's the big deal if we can't finish it? We can just put the leftovers away later." That was a problem for Xie Hanchuan, but it wasn't a problem at all for Lin Luoxi.
If you make too much, you can store it in a storage space to keep it fresh, and then take it out to eat when you're hungry. How convenient!
"Oh dear, I almost forgot about that." Reminded by Lin Luxi, Xie Hanchuan finally remembered that they had another trump card up their sleeve.
The five children went to the river in a huff, but when they came back, they were all smiles and chatting happily, which finally put Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi at ease.
Sigh, it's worrying when the child is too obedient, and it's also worrying when the child throws a tantrum.
The family ate a hearty meal by the river, and then the sun went down.
Lin Luoxi directly put the carriage and all the pots and pans into her spatial storage, and the whole family went to the spatial villa to rest.
I stayed by the river for three consecutive days. The water level kept dropping, the water gradually decreased, and the fish in the river started to surface due to lack of oxygen.
The children thoroughly enjoyed catching fish, filling bucket after bucket with them.
Finally, because she got tired of eating fish, Lin Luoxi simply put it into the river in her space to raise.
As the water level gradually decreased and its color became increasingly murky and yellow, Lin Luoxi couldn't wait any longer and began searching for the source of the water with Xie Hanchuan and the children.
As we continued uphill, we saw many villagers carrying water to irrigate the crops in their fields, preparing them for harvest.
Seeing men, women, and children all coming out to fetch water, even with their shoulders swollen from the weight and falling down time and time again, they still did not give up on the crops in the fields.
Lin Luoxi couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she took advantage of the night when no one was around and started irrigating the fields with water from the space river.
The drooping crops, nourished by the spiritual water of the space, cheerfully raised their heads, full of vitality.
The rice stalks in the paddy field, which were in bloom, gradually became fuller thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual water in the space.
Thanks to the nourishment from the spiritual water in the space, the corn and sweet potatoes in the field quickly completed their final task.
It took Lin Luoxi several days to irrigate thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of crops.
"My God, our rice can finally be harvested."
The farmers, who had worked so hard to irrigate their fields, watched as their rice stalks bent low day by day, heavy with grain, and finally shed tears of emotion.
"Our corn is plump and ready to be harvested." The same words echoed through the cornfield.
After more than half a year of hard work, the crops finally yielded a harvest, and the villagers' faces beamed with joy.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of their fellow villagers, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, as bystanders, were also touched.
Although using the spatial spiritual water felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, seeing the smiles on the faces of the people made it all worthwhile.
"Buzz..." Just as Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan were watching the people cheering in the fields, a yellow-green figure flew past them.
Lin Luoxi felt that the figure was very familiar. She looked at the flying figure with a serious expression and quickly reached out to grab it.
"These are locusts!" Having experienced a locust plague, Xie Hanchuan immediately recognized what Lin Luoxi was holding, and his expression changed drastically.
"Fellow villagers, hurry up and harvest! The locusts are coming!" Xie Hanchuan knew how terrible the locusts were, so he immediately made a megaphone shape with his hands and shouted to the villagers who were busy in the fields.
"It's Princess Changping and General Changsheng!"
"I never imagined their child would be so big."
The villagers seemed to miss the point. When they recognized Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, they all ran over with joy and surrounded them, asking about their well-being.
"Fellow villagers, look what I have in my hand?" Seeing that the villagers hadn't grasped the point, Lin Luoxi was helpless and immediately showed them the locust in her hand.
"This, this is a real locust!" When the villagers saw the plump locust in Lin Luoxi's hand, they realized that Xie Hanchuan was not joking with them, and their expressions became serious.
"A prolonged drought is bound to bring disaster. This locust is a reminder that a locust plague is coming soon. Fellow villagers, hurry up and harvest your crops!"
