Flowers bloom and fall with spring breeze.
Ye Dai leaned in Wang Chen's arms, unable to even move his fingers, and suddenly shed tears.
Wang Chen felt something strange. He lowered his head and saw his wife crying silently, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Ye Dai shook his head gently and whispered, "Husband, do you think I should go to Linshui Temple outside the city to worship the Bodhisattva? I heard that it is very effective to pray for a child there."
She and Wang Chen have been married for three years, but it rains every day, but her belly has never grown bigger.
This matter has become Ye Dai's heartache.
She had suppressed it in her heart before, but at this moment she couldn't help but express her true feelings. "Maybe go see the doctor and ask for a prescription."
For Ye Dai, marrying Wang Chen is the most correct choice for her.
For three years, she lived extremely happily.
But if you can't give birth to a child and have no way to carry on the family lineage for Wang Chen, then this kind of happiness will inevitably dissipate!
As a result, Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry, "Dai'er, this is not your problem, it is mine!"
"Huh?"
Ye Dai was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly thought that apart from herself, Xiao Yu had never been pregnant.
Ye Dai couldn't help but panic. "Husband..."
She did not expect that the problem was Wang Chen, and was afraid that the problem would make the latter sad or even angry.
"Don't worry..."
Wang Chen noticed his wife's fear and comforted him softly, "I have been practicing the martial arts inherited from my family. I am currently at the level of Refining Essence to Qi, so I cannot give birth to an heir."
"As long as you break through to the level of Qi Condensation to Spirit Transformation, there won't be this problem."
Ye Dai was confused. "Husband, are you still a martial artist?"
Refining Essence to Qi, Qi Condensation to Spirit Transformation, these two nouns were so lofty that she felt unfathomable.
In fact, Ye Dai knows that Wang Chen is not an ordinary scholar. After all, he has been with her day and night for three years. Wang Chen cannot hide it impeccably, and usually reveals some extraordinary qualities.
But she never expected that Wang Chen's strength would reach beyond imagination.
"Yes."
Wang Chen kissed her forehead. "Actually, I should have told you this matter a long time ago. It's my husband's fault that I have made you worry for so long in vain."
"No."
Ye Dai blushed prettyly. "I am too anxious, how long will it take for my husband to break through Qi Condensation to Spirit Transformation?"
It won't take ten or eight years, right?
In this case, even if one's own family members know it well, it will be difficult to explain it to outsiders, which will inevitably lead to a lot of rumors.
If nothing else, her father Ye Xiangming will definitely care about her!
"Within three years."
Wang Chen replied confidently, "I will Qi Condensation to Spirit Transformation!"
In fact, his rhetoric was entirely made up to make Ye Dai feel at ease.
In fact, although Wang Chen practiced ordinary martial arts and martial arts, his inability to give birth to an heir was due to his physical condition.
Because even though Wang Chen has sealed all his cultivation, his body is still Immaculate Immortal Body, and it is impossible to have children when combined with a mortal - similar to two species.
But this problem can be solved.
Wang Chen I have read countless Daoist scriptures before, and I have seen the solution.
He didn't pay attention to this problem before, but now that Ye Dai has brought it up, it will naturally take some effort to solve it.
"That's good."
Ye Dai finally felt relieved, a big stone weighing on his heart fell to the ground, and fell asleep with a sweet smile.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Chen left home early and took his fishing rod to go fishing at the Clear Water River outside the city.
Before getting married, Wang Chen was the most dedicated fisherman. In addition to giving lessons to the children in the school, his main recreational activity was fishing.
The fish caught are also used as supplements for the students.
After getting married, the number of times he fished decreased significantly, and he was very busy with the expansion and renovation of the school, so it was good to be able to fish two or three times a month.
During the recent period, Wang Chen has not thrown a pole for nearly two months.
But when he arrived outside the city, what he saw surprised him.
Outside Qing'an County Town, a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed on both sides of the Clear Water River, mainly growing rice crops.
Due to the nourishment of this Long River, the annual rice output is good, which to a large extent ensures the long-term stability of rice prices in the county.
However, looking at it now, most of the rice fields are dry, and many rice plants are showing signs of withering and yellowing, which is obviously the result of lack of irrigation.
In fact, Clear Water River did not stop flowing, but the water level dropped seriously, causing the pedal water truck connected to the canal to be unable to reach the water surface, making it impossible for farmers to obtain water for irrigation.
Wang Chen When he came to the river, he saw a group of farmers surrounding the water tanker with sad faces, and everyone had anxiety and fear on their faces.
Some farmers also use buckets tied with long ropes to fetch water from the river, but this is too inefficient.
It is simply impossible to meet the water needs of rice fields.
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you order a new waterwheel?"
An old farmer replied sadly, "Sir, I don't know. This is the water tanker that was just ordered a few days ago. It cost everyone a lot of money. As a result, the water level has dropped very fast in the past few days. Alas!"
He sighed heavily, his eyes full of pain and despair.
The pedal water cart used for fetching water is not a cheap thing. It is very difficult to make. It does not require an experienced craftsman to make it well. Moreover, the longer it is, the more expensive it is.
The new waterwheel we just made doesn't work anymore. This is a joke from hell!
Another farmer whispered, "Our Qing'an County area is pretty good. I heard that the drought in the next county is getting worse and there are already refugees."
Another farmer was indignant. "Autumn is coming soon. If it doesn't rain, all the rice here will be destroyed. Now the price of rice in the city has more than doubled. God is going to kill us!"
The person next to him immediately covered his mouth. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Is the drought so serious?
Wang Chen sounded a little heavy-hearted.
No matter how high the price of rice rises, he still has a way to ensure that his family has food and clothing and will never go hungry.
But if this drought continues, Qing'an County, which has always been peaceful, will definitely have big problems!
Thinking of this, Wang Chen no longer thinks about fishing.
He rode Large Black Donkey back to the city and went to the county government office to see the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, his father-in-law.
With Wang Chen's current identity, it would be okay to meet Ye Xiangming.
But the father-in-law was surprised when he saw him.
Because Wang Chen and Ye Dai have been married for three years, this is the first time that Wang Chen comes to the Upper Sect.
It feels like things are a bit big.
However, what made Ye Xiangming even more unexpected was that Wang Chen was looking for him this time because of the drought!
"Father-in-law."
Wang Chen borrowed pen and paper and drew a simple drawing by hand. "This is Self-Flowing Waterwheel from my hometown. Not only can the depth of water be adjusted, but it also does not require human power, which is very convenient."
"I hope that the county government can come forward and organize craftsmen to manufacture, so as to alleviate the drought and save the rice fields!"
