This is not a question of how many days, but a matter of months.
"Guangye City is pretty good. It rained since mid-September last year, and there has been no rain since. It's winter, so it's not too dry."
The soldier leader replied.
After listening to his words, An Jiuyue recalled the scenes in the fields she had seen before.
The land has been cracked, and there is not much water in the ponds. Each pond is guarded by a dedicated person, and those who go to fetch water must have a wooden sign before they can fetch a bucket of water.
In a situation like this, can you still call it a good thing?
"I see that there is no water in the ponds in the suburbs. Isn't this considered a drought?" she asked.
"It's not too dry."
The leader of the soldiers raised his eyebrows. Days like this were already normal for them, and they were not surprised by it, so they wouldn't take it too seriously.
"It used to happen that it didn't rain for three years. Now it's only been more than half a year without rain. It's really nothing. It's just that it's starting to get hotter today.
But it doesn’t matter. When it gets really hot and it doesn’t rain, then everyone won’t go out and try not to sweat, so there won’t be a need to drink so much water.”
He smiled innocently.
In fact, now, everyone goes to fetch water every day, and many people dare not use up a bucket of water every day.
In Guangye City, every household has one or even several large water jars to store the water that cannot be used every day, so that it can be used when there is really no water in the future.
“It hasn’t rained in three years?!”
An Yixing and his two children were shocked when they heard this.
Even if they are still young, they all know that if there is no rain for three months, the crops in the fields will dry up and die.
If it doesn't rain for three years, will the people still have a chance to survive?
"Mother, if it doesn't rain for three years, how will the people here live?" An Yizhou asked in a low voice.
It's simply too scary. If it doesn't rain for three years, there should be no water at all. People have to turn into mummies. Can people really live in such a place?
"It's alive."
The soldier leader heard what the little boy said and answered him.
They have always lived like this here. No water doesn't mean they can't survive. Moreover, it doesn't mean there is no water at all. They can always find a way to mediate.
"Madam, don't look at how miserable our people here are. We are all deliberately storing water. We still have water in our homes. At this time, it is the time for everyone to store water.
part.
Although there is no water for washing, there is still water for drinking and cooking, but when the time comes, you have to eat light or salt-free food to reduce the loss of body water."
he explained.
It is a place with severe drought. Who doesn’t have some survival skills?
"Besides, even if there is really no water, there is still the court, and the court will not ignore us. I heard that the court has ordered the states and counties to raise food."
He heard that someone was collecting grain at a high price. This news had already spread back, and many people in the North already knew about it.
Everyone who heard the news wanted to kill the merchants who collected grain at high prices. They couldn't survive here anymore, and the emperor and ministers were also thinking of a way.
But some people, for their own benefit, insist on jumping out and jumping around at this time. I really don’t know what they are doing.
