The donkey cart drove into Xinghua Village, and the devastation on the ground came into everyone's eyes.

On the fields on both sides of the village road, the withered and yellow seedlings fell down and were brittle by the fierce sun, and even the exposed ground was dried up and cracked hideously.

The trees planted beside the village road were not spared either. There were not a few intact leaves left on the trunks, and without exception, their weird branches stretched out towards the sky without a cloud.

There used to be several small streams running through the fields in the village, and there were often small fish or crabs jumping out of the water, but now let alone fish, there may not even be a single aquatic plant.

"What's going on here?" Fang Yun's eyes widened, unable to believe everything that appeared.

He has been in Xinghua Village for nearly five or six years, and he has never encountered such a thing.Even if there are occasional dry weather, it is not so dry that the fields are cracked like this.

Ah Jin, who had inquired about the news from the villagers of Xinghua Village, frowned, stared at the withered yellow mountain not far away and said: "I heard that the drought in the late spring of this year has suddenly become extremely severe. The sun was so fierce that it erupted overnight."

Early this morning, he and A Ling came to Xinghua Village to collect fruit, but when they entered the village, they saw such a scene. They were shocked and stopped a villager to ask about the situation.

After inquiring clearly, they ran back to Mofangxuan before they even had time to collect the fruit.

The field that Mo Jingcheng bought was in the barren hills, and there was still a distance to walk from the entrance of the village. They were greatly shocked. Although they had experienced many things in the business field, they were still young after all, so they panicked.

"Not only Xinghua Village, but I heard that many villages in Xinghua Town have not escaped the spring drought." Ah Jin's tone was a little anxious, "Ah Ling and I haven't visited the fruit fields on the barren hills, I'm afraid"

He had already regarded Mo Jingcheng and Fang Yun as his relatives, so he was also worried about them.

Mo Jingcheng's field grows fruits. According to common sense, fruits absorb a lot of water. If there is not enough water resources, they may die soon.

Unexpectedly, Mo Jingcheng glanced at the passing trees, the doubts in his eyes were fleeting, and he was not worried about his own fields.

But Fang Yun was already greatly shocked, clenched his soft fists tightly, and frowned even more after hearing Ah Jin's words.

Seeing that Fang Yun was so worried, Mo Jingcheng was very distressed, so he stretched out his hand and gently embraced Fu Lang's soft shoulders, and comforted: "Yun Bao, leave it to me, don't worry too much."

Even so, Fang Yun did not relax his eyebrows, but looked at the large dry field with tears shining.

"But my husband, those fields are my husband's painstaking efforts, and my husband bought them with the pain of his body." Fang Yun turned his eyes to the sides of the road again, "And without these harvests, the villagers will not be able to survive."

Xinghua Village is remote and rarely interacts with people from other places, so the food tax paid will be less, but this does not mean that the life of Xinghua Village people is carefree.

The terrain is too remote, and the nutrition of the land is not enough, so there will be very few fertile fields, and most of Xinghua Village is barren fields.

Even if good fields are reclaimed, they can only grow some melons, fruits and vegetables to barely support the family, and there are very few extra vegetables that can be stored on weekdays.

Now once there is a severe spring drought, it will be difficult to support myself, let alone support a family.Spring droughts broke out, and famines followed randomly.

Man cannot control nature, man cannot change nature, but can only adapt.

Fang Yun has been here for nearly six years, and the villagers have helped him a lot.Furthermore, when they met Mo Jingcheng, they also met many people who sincerely wished them well.Therefore, even if there are bad people in the village who deliberately target them and can't understand them, Fang Yun still hopes that Xinghua Village will be well.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun's tears welled up again.

"Rainbow." Mo Jingcheng turned around to meet his tearful gaze, "Do you believe me?"

Mo Jingcheng's eyes were full of seriousness and determination, which made Fang Yun nod involuntarily.

After that, Mo Jingcheng didn't say anything, just hugged Fang Yun tightly, silently looked at the fields running back, thinking about the solution to the spring drought.

The strange thing is that although the field Mo Jingcheng bought has been drought-ridden, like other fields with terrible cracks, the crops are still very green, as if they have not been disturbed by the spring drought at all.

This surprised both Fang Yun and Ah Jin.

Only Mo Jingcheng squatted down with a sullen face. He didn't look surprised. Instead, he went to a stream that had been killed by the field to check carefully.

I saw that the river bed meanders and stretches into the distance, and the direction is exactly the road they came from.Looking along the direction, I saw two rows of dry water trees standing at the end of the river bed with their withered trunks stretched out.

"Water tree?" Mo Jingcheng was slightly taken aback, and called Ah Jin who was still in a daze, "Is this water tree planted here in the past?"

When he bought the field, he came to check it out in person. He just scanned the surrounding scenery and the information was automatically recorded in his brain. Later, he handed over the field to Uncle Xu and the others to help manage it. Mo Jingcheng was busy with the restaurant business. Come here less.

But just now he searched carefully, but there was no impression of this tree in his mind at all.

Ah Jin who saw the tree was also slightly taken aback, and came over to explain: "This tree grew up suddenly two months ago. It looks very beautiful, and it is quite far from the field. Ah Ling and I did not cut it down."

Then he asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with this tree?"

"It didn't grow suddenly, someone planted it on purpose." Mo Jingcheng wiped the soil around the roots of the tree and rubbed it off with his fingertips. "This mud is very rough, which is different from the fine mud nearby. brought along with the roots."

Thanks to the blessing of Mo Jingcheng's nutrient solution, the nutrient solution will melt into the soil along with the flower roots. Although it is not enough to resist severe drought, the nature of the soil will slowly change, and the surrounding fields will gradually become Nutritious fine puree.

However, the soil around the water tree was different. Perhaps it was because the people who planted the tree did not pay attention, which left some of the protective mud attached to the roots of the tree outside, which was discovered by Mo Jingcheng.

Ah Jin was a little confused. He looked at the dried up soil in the field over there, and then at the mud that was easily crushed into pieces in Mo Jingcheng's hands, feeling a little puzzled.

"But shopkeeper Mo, these two pieces of soil are dry, how did you identify them?"

Fang Yun, who was looking at the crops in the field just now, came forward. Hearing this sentence, he was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes lit up, "Because my husband is very powerful."

This time it was Mo Jingcheng's turn to be taken aback.

His Rainbow Dash seldom calls him husband in front of outsiders, but today it seems to be very active.

Ah Jin didn't notice anything, and what he called left and right was the same to him, an outsider.Besides, his attention was completely absorbed by the things in the field.

"Rainbow." Taking advantage of Ah Jin not paying attention, Mo Jingcheng called softly.

Fang Yun bent his star eyes and looked over.

"Thank you."

The stars are getting brighter.

After inspecting all the fields, Mo Jingcheng and Fang Yuncai went to the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures, while Ah Jin went to see how the garden in the yard was.

They don't have to worry too much about their own fields, because they are all good varieties, so they are very drought-tolerant, and their growth is basically the same as before.Fortunately, when Mo Jingcheng bought the barren fields in the mountains, almost no one passed by, so there was no sensation.

Furthermore, due to the overnight spring drought, Second Uncle Xu was very worried about his farm, so he and other villagers hastily asked for leave and could not take care of the farm for the time being.

People are in panic, who would have the heart to take care of other people's homes?

From a distance, the two of them saw that the field of the village head's house was withered and yellow, and all the crops that had just been planted in the spring were wiped out due to lack of water.

Even one or two surviving vegetables were bitten to pieces by moths.

"This situation spread from Taohua Town. The crops in their village were all dry a month ago. Our village's fields were fine at the beginning. Even if there is no rain, there are many streams in our village and irrigation cannot be done. question."

"But a few days ago, the creek suddenly had a tendency to dry up, and the crops were slowly withering. We thought that the source of the creek was covered by fallen trees, but after checking, we found that there was no problem at all."

The village chief looked worried, and he didn't even bother to deal with the beard stubble, which was prickly on his face.

At the end, he covered his face and said helplessly: "When there was a tendency of drought, I started looking for ways to persuade everyone, but everyone didn't believe it. If this drought continues, what will the villagers do in the future? "

As he said that, such a tall and strong man burst into tears in front of everyone.

Ning Yuping, who has always been domineering and strong, was also a little discouraged at this time. He pressed his man's face into his arms, comforted him softly, and then apologized to everyone with an apologetic face.

Neither Mo Jingcheng nor Fang Yun made a sound, they quietly waited for the other party to finish venting.

From the bloodshot eyes of the village chief, it can be seen that he has not rested for a long time.

After the village chief calmed down a bit, Ning Yuping let him go and washed him with a towel to wipe his face.

"Village Chief, are you saying that the creek tends to dry up?" Mo Jingcheng asked suspiciously.

The village chief nodded with red eyes, "The stream began to decrease a month ago, and the crops in the village also began to grow poorly at that time. But everyone didn't pay attention, thinking it was a normal thing."

In fact, the so-called one-night outbreak does not mean that the spring drought just started that night, but that this trend has already occurred.It's just that the villagers didn't pay attention at first, and then the accumulation of small things made the crops finally run out of water last night, so they all died of drought.

This is the dry season, if the crops are not watered for half a day, it is normal for them to wither overnight.

But Mo Jingcheng was a little concerned about the suspicious point, "Village Chief, do you still remember when the water in the creek started to decrease?"

Hearing this, Fang Yun on the side was a little puzzled. He didn't understand the relationship between the time to start decreasing and the spring drought to be solved.

The village head was also taken aback by the question, "Probably one day after the spring drought in Taohua Village happened in January, the village head of Taohua Village came to ask me for advice on how to solve the spring drought, but this has never happened in our village. Severe spring drought, there is no answer."

At this time, Ning Yuping also remembered, and added anxiously: "It was the second day after the head of Taohua Village came, and the stream in our village began to have problems. At that time, I went to wash vegetables by the stream, and it was hard to bend down. It's harder than usual."

Hearing this, the figure of Shuishu in Taohua Village flashed in Mo Jingcheng's mind.

"Or when was the water tree at the entrance of the village planted?"
