Chapter 68(2/2)
Zhuchen felt suffocated.
Within two days, all Taoist friends came to the court and told her that the price of food had risen sharply recently, and it was even impossible to buy it, and told her to be prepared.
If this had happened earlier, Zhuchen would have been really overwhelmed and at a loss. But now, Chaowen's agriculture has initially developed and can sustain it for a while.
The farmland near Yuyuan has a good harvest this year and can support Chaowen. In addition, Chaowen has stocked up on a lot of rice. After this winter, there should be no problem.
Quan Tong sighed and said: "If the rain doesn't stop, it won't be winter anymore. Farmers will miss the time to sow, and then there will be famine in the next few years."
"Is the rain really that severe?" Zhuchen frowned, "It's actually drier here in Chaowen. There's not a single cloud to be found for dozens of miles."
Quantong smiled bitterly: "It's a good thing that it doesn't rain now. The granaries in some towns were flooded, so we had to come to Ji Yizong for help. I traveled to several places and saw many houses washed away.
In our sect, the people can’t even find a place to take refuge. How are we going to survive this winter?”
Zhuchen was worried in his heart and sighed along with him.
Quan Tong cheered up, forced a smile and said: "But it's okay. I see that the rainfall has reduced a lot in recent days, and the cumulus clouds have begun to disperse towards the north. I think if I hold on for a while, it should be over. I'll be lucky.
The sect may be able to return to normal before winter officially begins."
Zhuchen said regretfully: "If it rains for one more day, the people will suffer a lot. What's going on with the weather this year? It's so abnormal."
"Yes, who can predict the way of heaven?" Quan Tong came closer and said tentatively, "Fellow Zhuchen, it seems that among the nearby sects, you Chaowen is the safest, and the winter is also warmer.
Can homeless victims come to stay with you for a while?"
It was difficult for Zhuchen to make a decision. After all, the landlord's family didn't have much food left. Pure goodwill was useless unless the fundamental problem was solved.
She was unable to answer for a while, with so many thoughts in her mind, she looked blankly into the distance.
At this time, Liao Lioyun's red figure jumped in front of her and rushed past her.
…This can’t be called child labor, right?
