Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1469 Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (Thirteen)

Flowers bloom and fall in the spring breeze.

Ye Dai leaned in Wang Chen's arms, unable to move even her fingers, and suddenly shed tears.

Wang Chen felt something was wrong, looked down and saw his wife crying silently, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Is it hurt?"

Ye Dai shook her 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 they have sex every day, but her belly has never grown.

This matter has become a heart disease for Ye Dai.

She used to suppress it in her heart, but at this moment she couldn't help but express her true feelings: "Or go see a doctor and ask for a prescription."

For Ye Dai, marrying Wang Chen is the most correct choice.

For three years, she has lived a very happy life.

But if she can't give birth to a child and has no way to pass on the family line for Wang Chen, then such happiness will inevitably dissipate!

As a result, Wang Chen was at a loss for words: "Daier, this is not your problem, it's mine!"

"Ah?"

Ye Dai was stunned.

She suddenly thought that besides herself, Xiaoyu had not been pregnant.

Ye Dai could not help but panic: "Husband..."

She did not expect that the problem was with Wang Chen, and was afraid that this problem would make the latter sad or even angry.

"Don't worry..."

Wang Chen noticed his wife's fear and comforted her softly: "I have been practicing the martial arts passed down from my family. I am currently at the stage of refining essence into qi, so I cannot give birth to offspring."

"As long as you break through to the level of refining qi into spirit, there will be no problem."

Ye Dai was stunned: "Husband, are you still a martial artist?"

Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, these two terms are really high-sounding, making her feel unfathomable when she hears them.

In fact, Ye Dai knew that Wang Chen was not an ordinary scholar. After all, he was the pillow person who had been together for three years. It was impossible for Wang Chen to hide impeccably, and he usually exposed some extraordinary things.

But she never expected that Wang Chen's strength would reach a level beyond imagination.

"Yes."

Wang Chen kissed her forehead: "In fact, I should have told you this a long time ago. I made you worry for so long in vain. This is my fault."

"No."

Ye Dai blushed: "I am too anxious. How long will it take for my husband to break through the Qi training and transformation into a spirit?"

It won't take ten or eight years, right?

In this case, even if her family knows, it is not easy to explain to outsiders, and it will inevitably cause a lot of rumors.

Apart from anything else, her father Ye Xiangming will definitely be concerned!

"Within three years."

Wang Chen answered confidently: "I will definitely practice Qi training and transformation into a spirit!"

In fact, this set of rhetoric was made up to reassure Ye Dai.

In fact, although Wang Chen practiced the secular martial arts, he could not have children because of his physical condition.

Because although Wang Chen sealed all his cultivation, his body was still a pure immortal body, and it was impossible to have children with a mortal - it was like two species.

But this problem can be solved.

Wang Chen had read countless Taoist scriptures and had seen solutions to this problem before.

He had not paid attention to this problem before, but now that Ye Dai had brought it up, he would naturally have to spend some time to solve it.

"That's good."

Ye Dai finally felt relieved, and a big stone weighing on her heart fell to the ground, and she fell asleep with a sweet smile.

The next morning, Wang Chen left home early and went fishing in the Qingshui River outside the city with a fishing rod.

??????????.??????

Before getting married, Wang Chen was the most dedicated fisherman. In addition to teaching the children in the academy, his main entertainment activity was fishing.

The fish he caught were also used as a snack for the students.

After getting married, he went fishing less frequently, and he was very busy with the expansion and renovation of the academy, so it was good enough to fish two or three times a month.

Recently, Wang Chen calculated that he had not cast a fishing rod for nearly two months.

But when he arrived outside the city, he was surprised by the scene he saw.

Outside Qing'an County, a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed on both sides of the Qingshui River, mainly planting rice crops.

Due to the nourishment of this long river, the annual rice yield is good, which largely ensures the long-term stability of rice prices in the county.

However, looking around now, most of the rice fields are dry, and many rice crops have shown signs of withering and yellowing, which is obviously the result of lack of irrigation.

In fact, the Qingshui River has not stopped flowing, but the water level has dropped seriously, causing the pedal waterwheel connected to the canal to not reach the water surface, making it impossible for farmers to draw water for irrigation.

When Wang Chen came to the river, he saw a group of farmers surrounding the waterwheel with sad faces, and everyone's face was anxious and panicked.

Some farmers also used buckets tied with long ropes to draw water from the river, but this efficiency was too low.

It is impossible to meet the water demand of the rice fields.

Wang Chen couldn't help asking, "Why don't you order a new waterwheel?"

An old farmer replied sadly, "Sir, you don't know, this is the waterwheel that was just ordered a few days ago. We spent a lot of money, but the water level has dropped very quickly in the past few days. Alas!"

He sighed heavily, his eyes full of pain and despair.

The pedal waterwheel used to fetch water is not a cheap thing. It is very difficult to make. It can't be made by a master, and it becomes more and more expensive as it gets longer.

The new waterwheel that was just made can't be used again. This is simply a joke from hell!

Another farmer whispered: "We are still doing well in Qing'an. I heard that the drought in the neighboring county is even more serious, and there are already refugees."

Another farmer was indignant: "It's almost autumn. If it doesn't rain, all the rice here will be ruined. Now the price of rice in the city has more than doubled. God wants to kill us!"

The person next to him immediately covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"

The drought is so serious?

Wang Chen felt heavy when he heard it.

No matter how high the price of rice rises, he has a way to ensure that his family is well fed and clothed, and he will never starve because of it.

But if the drought continues, the peaceful Qing'an County will definitely have a big problem!

Thinking of this, Wang Chen no longer had the heart to fish.

He rode the big black donkey back to the city and went to the county government to ask to see the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, who was his father-in-law.

With Wang Chen's current identity, it is still no problem to see Ye Xiangming.

But the father-in-law was surprised to see him.

Because Wang Chen and Ye Dai had been married for three years, this was the first time Wang Chen came to visit.

It felt like something serious.

However, what Ye Xiangming didn't expect was that Wang Chen came to him this time because of the drought!

"Father-in-law."

Wang Chen borrowed a pen and paper and drew a simple drawing: "This is the gravity water truck in my hometown. It can not only adjust the depth of water intake, but also does not require human drive, which is very convenient."

"I hope the county government can come forward and organize craftsmen to manufacture it to alleviate the drought and save the rice fields!"
