The old wells in Anping County have all reached the point where they can no longer draw water.
Ah Sheng and Ah Kai also transported water down from the Beilian Mountains.
However, not only is the journey long, but the amount of water that can be transported back is also limited, given the manpower and resources required.
Ah Kai came back the day before yesterday. He said that the springs in the Beilian Mountains are producing less and less water.
I'm afraid that if things continue like this, that place will also dry up.
Chi, I know you are an immortal.
I implore you, without disturbing the people, to pour some water into the river or well?
Chi Yu wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.
The county seat of Anping County is home to tens of thousands of residents, not to mention the towns and villages under its jurisdiction.
How can you expect to increase the water volume without disturbing the people?
However, she did not want to acknowledge this so-called immortal identity.
Even if the other party knows she has many flaws, so what?
"You flatter me, sir. I am not some immortal, but just an ordinary person with slightly better luck."
The master just said that the water source in the Beilian Mountains is decreasing. I will find an opportunity to go and take a look when I get back.
My older brothers always tell the clan that I am the embodiment of everyone's good fortune and will lead everyone through disasters.
Perhaps after I return, the spring will be flowing more water again?
Fang Shizhong felt somewhat disappointed when he heard that she was unwilling to help.
But upon hearing the rest, one understands that the underlying meaning is to ensure that the Chi clan will not lack water.
Or perhaps they would feel a little more at ease knowing they still had to transport water from the Beilian Mountains.
As long as there is water and food, it doesn't matter if there is some hardship along the way.
This will allow ordinary people to know that this water is hard-won.
It's also easier to explain to outsiders where the water comes from.
If everyone knew that the Chi family was a celestial being, it wouldn't be good for him either.
At that time, the Chi family's reputation among the people will become extremely high, which will surely attract the attention of other princes.
If they send someone over later, he will be exposed.
It's not time for him to return to Beijing yet, so it's best not to say anything.
As long as he knows that the other party is Qin Mu's wife, he can be on his side.
With these thoughts racing through his mind, Fang Shizhong didn't care whether Lin Zhubu and the others would see it or what they would think.
Immediately, he bowed again to the fish in the pond:
“I know you’re not comfortable acknowledging your identity, but that’s alright. I know it in my heart.”
As long as there is water in the Beilian Mountains, tens of thousands of people in Anping County will be saved.
On behalf of everyone, thank you so much!
Chi Yu had no idea what Fang Shizhong was up to. As she avoided him, she smiled somewhat awkwardly.
Thinking of how she had filled the well with water before loading the carriage, she said:
"Lord Fang, it's getting late, and I need to hurry back."
By the way, the terrain around my house is probably low-lying, which is why, as you said, many wells have dried up.
My family is doing alright; we have a fairly abundant water supply.
"If you have a moment now, sir, why don't you have someone retrieve it?"
After saying this, she took out a key, handed it to the other person, and left.
Fang Shizhong looked at the key in his hand, then at the carriage that had driven away, and stood there for a while.
After thinking about it, he asked Registrar Lin to take people to arrange the grain.
He then took the key, opened the door, and stood at the well.
By the faint moonlight of the fifth day of the lunar month, looking at the shimmering water in the well, only one thought came to mind: it really is true.
