"Yes! When my aunt and I passed through Qijia Village in the carriage, there was Zhuang Zilan, who was my aunt's widowed sister-in-law."
He rushed out like a madman, and was then blown away by our wagon.
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao, who knew the other person was the female protagonist in the book, felt her heart skip a beat and quickly asked:
"Where is he? How is he? Could he be dead?"
Chi Kangshen nodded firmly: "Yes, she's dead! That crazy woman was especially vicious, and she couldn't stand to see her aunt doing well."
Although I didn't get off the carriage, I still heard the sounds.
She ordered the soldiers guarding Qijia Village to arrest her aunt, accusing her of deliberately plotting to harm her.
Fortunately, those people all knew my aunt's husband and knew that my aunt was his fiancée, so nothing happened.
When she died, my aunt asked me to check on her condition, so I went to Xiaozhuang to take a look.
I watched her body being burned before I returned to the county town to find you, my aunt and uncle.
Upon hearing that Zhuang Zilan had died, Chi Qiao roughly understood what had happened in this natural disaster.
Since she read the novel with her sister, she was aware of what would happen if the female protagonist, who was the central figure in the book, were gone.
Therefore, extreme heat and drought are mostly the result of a disordered world order.
It's still unknown who the new female and male leads will be.
The chaos will likely continue until they arrive.
All they can do is prepare in advance.
Leaving is impossible; the plague isn't over yet, and who knows when it will end.
With so many family members and even more clansmen, there were no shortage of relatives.
Who knows how widespread the extreme heat and drought would be without the female lead?
If the entire Great Chu Kingdom is like this, where can they go?
Rather than going elsewhere, it's better to stay in Anping County, in Chijia'ao.
At least Chijia'ao is surrounded by mountains and trees, and there is still space, so there is no need to worry about water.
At most, when it gets hot, everyone will live underground.
Thinking this, Chi Qiao said, "You go and rest first, I'll go to the yamen to find your uncle."
The man needed to inform Qin Mu, and also call him back to tell him about it.
As for whether Qin Mu would believe it, she didn't know, but since Xiao Yu had A Kang tell Qin Mu, he should believe it, right?
Then they had to go to the county government office and talk to Magistrate Fang as soon as possible.
Whether Magistrate Fang will believe it or not depends on Qin Mu!
Chi Qiao understood the situation. After telling Chi Kang to go and rest, she walked towards the yamen while her mind started racing.
The ice and snow left over from last year's disaster have all melted.
Anping County is not short of water at all now; in fact, the water level is higher than in previous years.
This situation even led to rivers drying up and the land cracking by May.
It must have been extremely hot, and it hadn't rained at all.
Logically speaking, even if it doesn't rain for a year or two, it shouldn't get to this point.
For example, in some parts of modern Northwest China, it's like this: you can still pump water from underground by digging a deep well.
The Great Chu Kingdom doesn't have this technology, so that can be ignored, but this place isn't exactly arid, so it shouldn't be like this.
The only explanation is that the temperature was extremely high, ridiculously high, which caused the groundwater to evaporate rapidly.
Drought and extreme heat are not caused overnight, but rather through a process.
Therefore, they need to start preparing immediately.
They stored large amounts of water and dug habitable cellars.
Grain cultivation can continue, but it must primarily consist of drought-resistant crops, preferably those that can be harvested in a short time.
Otherwise, the cycle would be too long, and they might just die from the sunburn.
Chi Qiao thought about it all the way, and by the time she arrived at the yamen, she had sorted everything out in her mind.
