Chapter 338: Lu Yuan's clone's actions (1)

While Lu Yuan was enjoying the bliss of heaven, his clone had already arrived at the realm of Dragon Kingdom.

An old man in his seventies or eighties, wearing a green Taoist robe, with white hair and a whisk in one hand, was lying leisurely on a green ox and walking slowly on the dirt road.

"Alas, it has been more than a month. Looking at the dry land everywhere, it is only the first year. If it continues like this, I am afraid that many people will die!" The old Taoist sighed as he looked at the sky.

Over the past month, he has traveled to many places, but was basically scolded everywhere.

There is no other reason, it’s just that we are now cracking down on feudal superstition, and his appearance has made many people unfriendly to him!

This prevented him from starting to cast spells to make it rain. Although he had his own mission, he also had his own ideas.

There was no need to save those who didn't respect him for the time being, since he wasn't the one starving anyway.

Not long after, he arrived at a new village and saw many people carrying water to irrigate the fields.

Even though it hadn’t rained for months, there was still water in the river since this was only the first year.

His arrival attracted a lot of people's attention.

At this time, an old man in his forties or fifties walked up to Qingniu and asked, "Master, what are you doing in Loushan Village?" The old man spoke with a respectful tone, which made Lu Yuan's clone feel emotional and felt that this person was indeed different! At this moment, the old man made him feel very comfortable.

Lu Yuan replied with a smile: "Haha! Mr. Layman, I am passing by here. It is getting late. I would like to stay in your village for one night. Is that okay?" After saying that, he waved the whisk in his hand to show politeness.

"Well... Hey! Taoist Priest, please follow me!" The old man said a little reluctantly, but finally invited Lu Yuan to enter the village.

……

Lu Yuan followed the old man to the village. As he walked, he asked, "How is the situation in the village now?"

"Alas, the world is not good now! From the end of last year to now, several months have passed, the sun has been shining every day, and not a drop of rain has fallen.

I don’t even know if the crops in the fields can be harvested!” Lou Anshan said with emotion.

Then Lu Yuan asked the old man's name, and Lou Anshan took Lu Yuan to a mud house and stopped.

"Master, this family has gone to the city, so this house is empty. Do you think it would be okay for you to stay here tonight?

I'll bring something to the Taoist priest later!" Lou Anshan said, pointing to the mud house in front of him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lou, it's enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude.

Lou Anshan took Lu Yuan into the house and then left.

Lu Yuan looked at the dusty house, waved the whisk in his hand, and swept the dust out of the room.

Then he sat cross-legged on the kang, released his spiritual sense, and looked at the situation in the entire Loushan Village.

The whole village is neither big nor small.

There are 156 households, and every household, both adults and children, are busy working in the fields.

Most of the farmlands are quite far from the river.

And after several months of exposure to the sun, the river water has dropped a lot.

……

Watching men, women, young and old, carrying buckets of water to irrigate the fields.

But this amount of water was just a drop in the bucket! The land that had just been irrigated was soon dried up and cracked by the scorching sun.

In this case, the land close to the river can indeed produce a harvest, but for those lands far away, I'm afraid the harvest will be less than 30% of the usual!

But although the work was done, the harvest was pitifully small.

……

"No wonder I asked you to come here. If this situation continues for three years, I'm afraid many people will die!" Lu Yuan felt deeply moved.

"Master, this is my family's quilt, it has been washed. Please don't despise these little snacks. These are all we can eat these days." At this time, Lou Anshan came over holding a quilt and carrying a few steamed buns, and said a little embarrassedly.

Lu Yuan looked at the patches all over the quilt and the hard lumps protruding from the steamed buns.

Then you will know that this thing is probably not just grain, but a mixture of tree bark and roots.

"Mr. Lou, you are too polite! It is good to have these things.

The old Taoist would like to thank you for your kindness." Lu Yuan said with a smile after getting off the kang.

"Then, Taoist priest, I won't disturb your rest. I have something else to do here, so I'll go and busy myself first." Lou Anshan said after putting the quilt and steamed buns away.

"Mr. Lou, please feel free to do as you please! I don't need you to accompany me here." Lu Yuan responded.

"Well, Taoist Priest, I'll leave first!" Lou Anshan said and left.

……

At night, Lu Yuan frowned as he watched the villagers eating.

Most people make steamed bread by grinding tree bark into powder and mixing it with cornmeal.

And the person who eats it is the man in the family.

Women, children and the elderly eat the soup made from water, and each person drinks a bowl of it.

Lu Yuan looked at Lou Anshan who brought him food. His condition was worse than others.

It seemed that because of the steamed corn bread sent to Lu Yuan, his own family ground some tree roots and barks into powder, boiled them with water, and then each drank a bowl.

……

"Boss, why did you send so much food to that old Taoist priest?

We only have this much to drink tonight, so we won’t have the energy to carry water to irrigate the crops tomorrow!” an old woman complained.

The other two young men also agreed with the old woman and nodded, saying, "Yes, Dad, if you do this, we won't have the energy to work tomorrow!

It's not enough to drink this much after doing such heavy work all day long!"

Lou Anshan listened to the complaints of his wife and son and could only sigh and say: "I know that too! But the Taoist priest came to our village.

As the captain of the brigade, I have to entertain them. Besides, you won’t starve to death if you skip a meal.

I'll just let him go tomorrow."

When the old woman heard this, she nodded and said nothing more.

After hearing what their father said, the two sons could only keep it to themselves, after all, their father was still the head of the family.

……

“Well, it seems that I can talk to Lou Anshan tomorrow.

But we must prepare everything that is necessary." Lu Yuan said, and began to close his eyes and rest.

He could cast a spell to make it rain without doing anything, but that would make it seem like things were too easy to get, which was not what he wanted to see.

……

The next day, it was still dark.

Lu Yuan heard the footsteps and voices of the villagers.

After opening his eyes, Lu Yuan estimated the time. It was probably around 3:30 in the morning.

Afterwards, as their spiritual consciousness was awakened, the villagers, under the arrangement of Lou Anshan, began to irrigate each acre of land.

Lu Yuan shook his head, then continued to close his eyes and rest.

It was not until a ray of sunlight shone on Lu Yuan from the window that he opened his eyes again.
