Upon seeing the person, Fang Shizhong's face showed a rare expression of relief.
He gestured for the two people behind him to stay where they were, and then quickly walked towards the pond.
As he got closer, he tried to appear calm, but his slightly nasal voice betrayed him.
"Mr. Chi, may I speak to you in private?"
If he hadn't appeared perfectly fine, Chi Yu would have definitely assumed he had a cold based on the sound.
After carefully examining the man and confirming that Fang Shizhong was not ill, she gestured to her second brother and the others who were coming to stay away, and then led them away.
Upon arriving at a secluded place, Fang Shizhong respectfully bowed to the fish in the pond.
"Mr. Chi, thank you!"
Chi Yu looked puzzled, and Fang Shizhong continued:
"The water currently stored in the county government office is enough for all the people in the city to drink for half a month."
Now, ordinary people come to fetch water themselves, without needing to go through the government offices.
What Ah Kai and his group came to collect, they gave to several surrounding counties.
Chi family, the rivers outside have dried up and the earth is cracked.
I don't know how long this situation will last. Can you tell me specifically?
Even if it's inconvenient to say, could you please tell me if the water here can be supplied to more people?
For example, the people of Wuning Prefecture?
They will enter from the Beilian Mountains, taking the old route used by the Xiechi'ao people to get here.
Before I arrived, the Chu River had only 30% of its original volume of water.
The entire Great Chu Kingdom, its people all depend on that little bit of water.
He sighed helplessly as he finished speaking, and added:
"To be frank, even the capital city, or even the imperial palace, is experiencing a water shortage!"
Since entering the Beilian Mountains, Chi Yu has been living a very leisurely life.
Even though the date on the wall was constantly counting down, she was either deep in the mountains and forests or in some other space.
As a result, they have no real feeling about anything outside of themselves.
Hearing Fang Shizhong's words, she was startled, then took a deep breath before saying:
"Sir, I told you, I will guarantee that anyone who comes here to fetch water will have water to draw from!"
Fang Shizhong believed that Chi Yu was a fairy from heaven who had descended to earth to help the common people.
She simply didn't want to gain fame or recognition, so she kept it a secret and didn't let the common people know her true identity.
Upon hearing this, he said, "Can the people of Wuning Prefecture come and collect it?"
Chi Yu nodded: "Yes, but they have to follow the rules and be the same as the local people who come to fetch water."
This time, it was Fang Shizhong's turn to be greatly alarmed.
In the past, Chijia'ao was surrounded by mountains, and all you could see was lush greenery.
Today, many trees have withered and turned yellow.
Given such extreme heat, it is quite normal for this to happen.
After all, as A-Kai had mentioned before, the water flow from this spring was also decreasing.
However, everything changed after the fish returned and stayed in this place.
Looking around, only this mountain range is lush and green.
No matter how many people come to fetch water, they can all get water as they wish.
It could even be said that the water here sustains more than just the people of Anping County.
There are also several surrounding cities.
If things continue like this, they might end up supporting the entire Jianzhou Prefecture.
If we include Wuning Prefecture, or other places, the population would be in the millions.
