Chapter 509: The Disappearing Water Spirit
(Cat flutter Chinese) Earlier, in a nearby mountain village, also because of the drought, the food tax could not be paid, so the demon hunter team took people into the village, beating and smashing.
Several elderly people in their seventies and eighties in the village were beaten to death.
As soon as this news spread, everyone in the nearby villages was in danger and panicked, and the village chief of Pancun had to go to Beicang to steal grain.
Listening to the description of the village chief, it was not only Pancun that encountered a similar situation, but also some surrounding villages that were suffering from drought one after another, and they could not pay for grain and grass.
Another team?
Only then did Ye Lingyue and the others know that there was another team that came to Fang'a County.
There are a large number of teams participating in the Jiuzhou Desert Hunt this time, and the Huangquan team is just one of them, so it is not surprising that they don't know the existence of the other party.
Thinking back to the reaction of the county order earlier, Ye Lingyue and the others understood that the reason why they were sent to Beicang to take care of the granary must be the hands and feet of the representative team.
The other party's intention was obvious, that is, to seize the merit and leave Fang'a County early.
"How can this be reasonable, the grain in the north warehouse is said to be tens of thousands of loads, even if there is a natural disaster, let go of the granary, it is enough for countless victims in the nearby three townships and eighteen villages. If you don't do things for the people, what kind of bullshit official is you, I'll go and arrest the county order. ”
When Situ and Lan Feng heard this, their blood boiled, and they were about to teach the county order a lesson.
"Stop, both of you calm down. This is not Huangquan City, Fang A has its own city lord, and there is also a county order, we are just an ordinary team now, if we really want to fight against the county government, it is to disrupt the order, and it is likely to be regarded as bandits. Do you still want to continue to participate in the Nine Continents Wilderness?"
Ye Lingyue scolded all the time, scolding both Situ and Lan Feng.
"Ling Yue is right, the two of you just don't succeed enough and lose more than you lose. I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run, so it is better for all of us to go around the village separately and see if the situation in the village is as the village chief said. ”
Gong Linxin proposed.
Everyone echoed the voice, and each of them went separately to patrol the village.
Ye Lingyue and Photon were in a group, taking Xiao Squeak and Xiao Wuya, to check the well in the village and the stream at the entrance of the village.
"The water has bottomed out, the flow is very narrow, and it has stopped. There are also several major wells in the village, which have also dried up, and the drought is terrible. ”
Photon looked around and turned back.
"The crops in the field are in the heading stage, and if there is no water, there will be no harvest. ”
Ye Lingyue tightened her brows, the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt.
She remembers that the area around Fang'a County has good weather and several major rivers flowing through it, and because of this, the food crops in this area have been growing very well.
In the hundreds of years recorded in the county history, not to mention such a severe drought, even a small drought has never been encountered.
Generally speaking, the climate of a region is not unreasonably abnormal.
"Boss. ”
The little Wuya who was following Ye Lingyue's side suddenly opened her mouth.
"I think there's something wrong with this place, there's a lack of water spirits. ”
Little Wuya's words woke up the dreamer.
Ye Lingyue immediately came to her senses, no wonder she felt that something was wrong, as Xiao Wuya said, there was a lack of water spirit in Pan Village.
Except for a few cities in Ancient Jiuzhou, such as Yanmen, Huangquan and other cities, the spiritual power is insufficient, and in most areas, the five spirits are quite complete.
The more abundant the five spirits, the better the growth of all things in a place.
It's like Ye Lingyue's Hongmeng Heaven, which is a rare five-spirit blessed land, so all kinds of crops and even spirit beasts in it grow extremely well.
Compared with the outside world, even if it is the Five Spirits City, the Five Spirits of Hongmeng Heaven are at least ten times or even dozens of times more abundant.
Of course, this abundance is only for ordinary people, for certain warriors and alchemists, if they want to cultivate the power of reincarnation, they still have to get some super big cities or treasures like Wuling City.
Xiao Wuya is a descendant of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, and is more sensitive to the spirit of the five elements of water and fire than anyone else.
When she followed Ye Lingyue to Pan Village, she felt that the five spirits in this place were very unbalanced.
When she pondered carefully, she found that there was almost no water in this village.
Water is the source of life for all things, and without the spirit of water, the entire village seems to have been dried up, and the spirit of the five elements of other attributes is also rapidly being lost.
The trees began to wither, the soil became barren, the stones crumbled the sand, the rivers cut off, and the drought was severe.
"Lack of water spirits......
Ye Lingyue pondered.
After a while, the other team members also gathered information and returned to rendezvous.
Through talking with the villagers, the team members also found that what the village chief told was the truth.
"There is no way to go on like this, we have to tell the county magistrate about the matter and think of a solution to the drought in the inventory. The villagers stayed here and died of thirst if they didn't starve. ”
Everyone agrees.
So Ye Lingyue took the village chief and returned to the county government together, and told the county order about the predicament faced by Pan Village.
"There's a drought in Pancun? ”
"It has been five years since this official was sent to Fang'a County. In the past five years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there has never been any natural disaster**. Besides, the inventory of several nearby villages has not reported a drought, can it be said that the road is a few miles away from the day?"
When the county order heard it, instead of showing any sympathy, he loudly reprimanded Ye Lingyue and the head of Pancun.
"County order, if you don't believe it, you can go to Pancun to have a look. ”
Ye Lingyue saw that the county order was quite unreasonable, so she stepped forward, dragged up the county order and was about to go out.
"Presumptuous, he actually dared to hold the county order hostage. Take them all. ”
It's late, it's fast.
But when I saw the county office, more than a dozen big men poured in at once.
These people are all tall and fat, and a short-bearded man at the head is the captain of the Falcon team.
"You are the captain of another team stationed in Fang'a County? I am Ye Lingyue of the Huangquan team, there is a drought in Pancun, and the situation is very urgent. ”
Ye Lingyue looked straight at Captain An.
How did the other party see that she was just a black-faced girl, with a thin body, and she didn't even have the power of reincarnation, so she sneered coldly.
"What are you, dare to compare with this captain. What kind of drought is not drought, I only know that if you don't pay the grain tax, you are breaking the law. As the captain, you join forces with the villagers to resist taxes, and your crime is added to the crime. ”
When Ye Lingyue heard this, her dark eyes darkened. Suddenly, a strong wind swept by.
I saw her shoulder shrug, and in an instant, she carried the "Ten Heavens" supernatural power, her body accelerated, and her shoulder slammed into the captain An.
Captain An had disdain in his eyes, and he didn't dodge, so he was ready to wait for Ye Lingyue to humiliate himself. Cat flutter Chinese
