Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Su Muya had never seen such a well-mannered man in Liangzhou. It was as if the scholar described in the storybook had walked out of the book. The poor scholar met the rich lady by chance and then fell in love with her. Isn't it the same as their current situation?

Although this scholar does not look that young, Shi Zhengde makes a living by his looks after all. Even Fang, a lady from a rich family, can fall for his face and temperament, let alone this ignorant Miss Su.

You say he is old? It doesn't matter! He is not old, but has the temperament of a mature man. After all, according to the age of childbearing in ancient times, Shi Zhengde is not yet forty years old.

So, the ignorant young lady of the City Lord's Mansion fell in love with Shi Zhengde. Originally, Shi Zhengde was annoyed by Su Muya's dog-skin plaster behavior. She would catch him every day and ask him to write or talk to her about the Book of Songs. If she had not given him too much, he would have turned against her long ago.

Later, when he found out that she was actually the city lord's daughter, Shi Zhengde, who had been accustomed to enjoying himself, suddenly had some evil thoughts and started to take the initiative.

Su Muya felt Shi Zhengde's initiative and fell in love with him even faster. Although she was a little disappointed when she learned later that he had been married and had a son, she thought that she was also a widow, and Shi Zhengde's wife and son died in the disaster, becoming a widower, so she thought that they were a perfect match.

After getting Shi Zhengde's hint, the love-brained Miss Su hurried back to ask her father, saying that she wanted to get married.

The Lord of Liangzhou City had only this one precious daughter, and he felt guilty for finding a short-lived husband for her. So even though he despised Shi Zhengde, an old man who lived off his wife, he still agreed to Su Muya's request, but changed the term "marrying" to "marrying into the wife's family." At least in the Lord's Mansion, Shi Zhengde didn't dare to treat his daughter badly.

What objection could Shi Zhengde have? As long as he could return to his previous life of wealth and splendor, marrying into the wife's family was nothing. Besides, he could easily control Su Muya.

So, despite everyone's misunderstanding, Miss Su still insisted on marrying Shi Zhengde as her son-in-law, and thought that others did not understand Shi Zhengde's goodness, and she protected Shi Zhengde in every possible way in the City Lord's Mansion.

No matter how much the servants despised such men, they could only force themselves to be respectful and give Shi Zhengde the best service for the sake of their own young lady.

Shi Zhengde also spent a comfortable time here, except for this extreme heat and drought.

Because Liangzhou is farther away from Lingnan, the meteorite shower that originally occurred mainly in Lingnan had an almost invisible impact here, but this extremely hot climate did affect Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is a dry place with little rain. The high temperature and the absence of any rain have dried up their small rivers long ago, leaving only some extremely deep wells that can still pump water.

It can be said that it was extremely capable of Zhengde to take a bath when there was still water supply in the City Lord's Mansion. If it still didn't rain, they would probably have no drinking water. So it was not that the servants lied to him, but the City Lord really ordered to save water and store water.

If the City Lord's Mansion still has the ability to pump out water and has a plan to store water, the lives of ordinary people will be even more miserable.

Shiqiao Village is a village not far from Liangzhou City. The village is named after a stone bridge that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Since there is a bridge, it must be because there is a river. In the northwest, places with rivers are all residential areas with relatively good conditions. Shiqiao Village is not only close to the river, but also close to Liangzhou City. It can be said that it has the right time and place.

So after so many generations of development, Shiqiao Village has become a famous large village in the local area, even not inferior to some remote towns.

However, even in such a good location, something happened that terrified the villagers of Shiqiao Village: the river in their village was about to dry up!

You know, although this river is not big, the most serious flood in the past hundred years only caused the water level to drop slightly. But now the water level has dropped to the point where the riverbed is almost visible. How can they not be terrified?

"Village chief! The drop in the water level of our river is not right!" Several senior elders were sitting in the house of the village chief of Shiqiao Village.

"Mr. Song, do you remember that the population has dropped so much in previous years?" the village chief asked the oldest elder in the village.

"Never." Old Song shook his head solemnly.

Then he continued, "Let the villagers who have water tanks at home fill them up. I think something is wrong. Although we have had less rain in previous years, it is not to the point where there is no rain at all. Moreover, the weather this year is unusually hot. I don't know if this is the reason why the river water level has dropped faster."

The village chief and his companions nodded with some concern.

"By the way, village chief, the river has dried up and we can't irrigate the crops in our fields!" said another old man who was about the same age as the village chief.

Upon hearing this, the village chief rubbed his aching head. Such a year was really a huge blow to farmers like them.

"Let's collect as much as we can for now. Fortunately, I listened to Elder Song's advice and stored some food in the granary. It can be used in an emergency. I will go to Liangzhou in two days to check the situation in the city."

The problems faced by Shiqiao Village are also faced by many villages in the Northwest. Some villages have even begun to lack water. In order to find water to drink, they can only walk along the river. When the lord of Liangzhou City was unaware, refugees from various villages had begun to approach gradually. With so many people gathering in Liangzhou, there was bound to be some unrest.

But Shi Anan, who was far away in Lingnan, was unaware of all this. She might have guessed that some places would be in chaos due to the drought, but she was still in Guangming Village after all, and could not manage places so far away.

The temperature still didn't drop, but Shi Anan didn't plan to stay in Guangming Village and live off the food.

Now, because no one knows when the high temperature will end, and no one knows how long the solar air conditioner will need to be rented, but it consumes silver coins on a fixed daily basis, Shi Anan dare not spend the silver coins as lavishly as before.

After all, it might be okay not to buy other things, but without air conditioning, everyone will be very hot.

So when she ran out of salt before, she had been buying it in the system mall. But now that they have more people, the daily salt consumption is also increasing, and the silver coins spent on buying salt are not a small amount.

Although Xiao Yi and his team have been making handicrafts to replenish silver coins, and Shi Anan was also rewarded with silver coins for making tofu, Shi Anan still has a sense of urgency facing the high temperature for an unknown period of time.

She clearly has a salt well, so why should she waste silver coins to buy salt from the mall? She wants to make salt herself!
