"Yes! The old sage said that extreme heat and drought are coming next."
The woman didn't know how hot it was, but her nephew, who had returned to deliver a message for the little fish, said that the drought meant the rivers had dried up and the land was cracked.
This wasn't the first time Xiaoyu had dreamed of the old immortal, nor was it the first time the old immortal had given her advance notice.
Actually, these things started last year, before the torrential rains in October.
That's why Xiaoyu drew blueprints for the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) for everyone and even got the villagers to burn charcoal.
Fang Shizhong recalled Qin Mu's earlier statement that someone who had gained an opportunity had told him about the impending natural disaster, and immediately connected it to the fish in the pond that Chi Qiao had mentioned.
So I took the opportunity to ask, "Back in late August or early September last year, was your aunt Chi Yu in Qingping Lane during her postpartum confinement period?"
Chi Qiao didn't know why he asked that, but thinking it wasn't something difficult to investigate, she simply admitted, "Yes!"
Alright, Fang Shizhong can now be certain of why Qin Mu knew about those disasters.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have believed these absurd claims.
However, the murderous aura emanating from Qin Mu was so overwhelming that it was impossible to explain why anyone who got close to him would suffer misfortune.
Moreover, those natural disasters all came true one by one.
If Qin Mu hadn't informed him in advance, he wouldn't have been able to prepare.
He could hardly imagine what the situation would be like in Anping County, or even the entire Jianzhou Prefecture.
Therefore, he was willing to believe that the fish in the cement pond was a person who was born lucky and favored by the gods.
He even believed that the fact that fish in a pond could make cement was a gift from the gods.
Oh, and those glass gems he saw today.
He had never even heard of this texture before.
Fang Shizhong, though not outwardly excited, decided in his heart that once Qin Mu arrived, he would quickly push the tasks assigned to him onto others.
Regardless, let's get Chi Yu married first; he can be the officiant on the groom's side.
Since Amu has no relatives left anyway, it's the same if he takes over.
The girl who gets this special opportunity must be on his side.
He wouldn't trust this girl to marry anyone other than Amu!
Fang Shizhong, who was already eager to bring Chi Qiao to his side, saw that Chi Qiao was still waiting for his answer, so he said:
“Zhou, I am aware of what you have said. However, this matter is of great importance, and I need to think it over carefully.”
Rest assured, I still trust you. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will make preparations in advance.
But don't spread this around yet, lest it cause unrest among the people.
After a series of natural disasters, people are not as resilient as they used to be.
I will say these things after I have given them hope.
By the way, besides the potatoes you gave us before, are you really not going to give us any sweet potatoes?
"I don't need much; a hundred or eighty catties will suffice."
At this moment, Fang Shizhong thought that the things the Chi family brought out might not have been brought back by Qin Mu from Wuning Prefecture.
Rather, it was given to me by that old immortal.
Although he didn't quite understand why the old immortal had chosen Chi Yu, he thought about it from another angle: the old immortal was on his side.
Heaven kept sending down all sorts of calamities, as if it wanted to destroy his Great Chu Kingdom.
It was only because the old immortal was on his side, on Da Chu's side, that he appeared in the world and gave guidance, allowing them to avoid disaster time and time again.
Even under these circumstances, many ordinary people still died.
However, it's much better than being completely unaware!
I wonder if the old sage has given the fish in the pond a corresponding solution this time.
In extremely hot and arid conditions, water is the most important resource, followed by food.
It's too hot; people can live underground.
He can find a way to get more grain from other places.
