Chapter 142

Huang Zhongkui nodded and said, "let's find uncle Qiu first."

Once again, they came to Uncle Qiu's fish pond. This time, we can see that the water level has dropped obviously. At this speed, these fish will not die? Uncle Qiu was fishing in the bucket at this time. Seeing them coming, uncle Qiu quickly asked, "Zhong Kui, how's your inquiry going?"

Huang Zhongkui stood at the edge of the fish pond, picked up a lot of net bags to help Uncle Qiu catch fish, and said: "Uncle Qiu, if you can sell this fish, sell it quickly! I went to several towns, where it hasn't rained for several months. Although it hasn't reached the point of severe drought, if it goes on like this, it will soon be away from the severe drought! "

"What? It's going to be a drought! " The sunny day was also startled, "what can we do? If there is a real drought, let alone business, it is uncertain whether we can survive!"

Huang Zhongkui quickly comforted her and said, "it's just possible. If it rains suddenly, won't it be gone? Don't worry. I mean it's possible

Uncle Qiu calculated carefully, and it really hasn't rained here for a long time. He looked at the sky again, but there was no cloud in it. Uncle Qiu said, "help me to fish out Yudu first. Sell what I can, and make pickled fish what I can't. If there is a serious drought, we can survive for a while. In the evening, gather everyone together and think about the countermeasures. By the way, what else is in the field? "

"It didn't last long. It wasn't much of a harvest."

It wasn't long before Qiu Wen came back. He gave the same answer, but the place he went was better, and the people there didn't notice it. Qiu Wen said, "why don't we tell the county magistrate to report to the court as soon as possible. In this way, even if there is a severe drought, with the relief food of the imperial court, we can certainly survive it! "

Uncle Qiu shook his head and said, "don't talk about the county magistrate. Even the neighbors may not believe us in this situation. What's more, he asked the county magistrate to report to the top. In case of rain, the county magistrate will be guilty of deceiving the king. He will be killed. We can't get rid of it! Just wait a little longer. "

In the evening, a group of people closed the fruit shop, and they all discussed the countermeasures inside. Qiu Wen once again put forward the idea of telling the county master: "even if the county master does not dare to report now, we can tell him first, so as not to delay the county master. The imperial court was informed one day earlier that many people might survive! "

Sweet scented osmanthus frowns slightly. She met the county magistrate last time. He is not a person who can do superfluous things. This time, if they tell the county magistrate, they will probably be beaten for the crime of bewitching the public. However, if it is true, it can spread the news as quickly as possible. After all, these neighborhoods have nothing to do. They like to talk about their family and anecdotes.

"Yes, of course. I will go to the county master tomorrow. Sunny day, tomorrow you see brother Li, remember to tell him. Recently, we have to buy more dry food. It's no longer delicious. Just have a full stomach. We have to reserve more water. Water is more important than food! On sunny days, don't make cakes these days. We can save some. "

He nodded again and again on a sunny day. If you can't keep your life, why do you want to do business?

The next day, Osmanthus fragrans early to the county yamen drum. County raised his eyes, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "isn't this boss GUI? What can I do for you so early in the morning? "

Osmanthus kowtowed to the county master and said, "my Lord, it hasn't rained in our town for a long time. You can go to the river and have a look. The river is much lower. Min Nu implored you to report the matter to the imperial court and let the imperial court make preparations early! "

The county master was stunned for a moment, and then said: "boss GUI, I know you are a good business man, but I don't know you have the ability of fortune telling."

This result is also expected. She said, "my Lord, minnv is not a fortune teller. As long as the adults send people to check the river, they will also find out. Adults are the parents in our town. Please make your own decisions! "

County Lord's eyes turned, and then said: "come on, sweet scented osmanthus bewitches people, ten big board, and then throw it out! I don't think anyone will dare to talk nonsense in the future! " The county magistrate dropped the word and left. Osmanthus fragrans has made psychological preparation, and when it came, it specially encircled a circle of cotton lining cloth on the buttocks. However, the ten dozen boards fell heavily, which was also unbearable. Osmanthus fragrans was dragged out of the county government by those yamen servants.

The county government was originally located in the center of the town, and there were many people coming and going. Osmanthus fragrans is also a famous person in the town. She was beaten and dragged out, and soon attracted others to stop and talk. Osmanthus difficult to get up, a little move to feel the butt there came a hot pain. She bit her teeth, moved her steps, and walked towards the shop step by step. One side of the big aunt and osmanthus still know each other, quickly went to support her, asked: "ouch, osmanthus big sister, what did you do, or offend someone?"

Osmanthus stopped and said in a loud voice: "I saw the river a few days ago. After thinking about it, we haven't had rain here for a long time. I also asked the man of sunny sister-in-law to inquire about the nearby town, where it hasn't rained for a long time. I was looking to see if there was going to be a drought, so I came specially to tell the county magistrate that I wanted him to tell the imperial court. But who knows the county master said that I was bewitching people and beat me ten times. Sister in law, do you think I did it wrong? "Everyone heard the words of Osmanthus fragrans. When we think about it, it has not rained for a long time. Several women echoed: "yes, yes. Recently, when we went to the river to wash clothes, we really felt that the river had dropped a lot. We're still wondering what's going on! "

Being echoed like this, osmanthus has a stronger voice. "But the county magistrate doesn't believe me! What can we do for the common people? Now we should store more grain. If God pities us for the rain, we can still keep the grain for ourselves. "

The words of Osmanthus soon spread, and the whole town really fell into an unprecedented panic. But these are just conjectures, so no one has given up everything here and left.
