"Does it snow in the North in winter? Does it freeze when it's the coldest?" An Jiuyue asked again.
"Yes."
The soldier leader nodded.
Why doesn't it snow and freeze? They are in the North, and it's cold in winter. The cold wind is biting.
"It has been freezing since November. In years with a lot of rain, the ice is thicker. That is, during severe droughts, there is always no rain in winter, so there is no ice."
An Jiuyue asked many more questions about the Northland, and then she realized that the Northland was not always without water, and that when there was sufficient rain, it was also very abundant.
It's not like there are no good years, but this place seems to be cursed. There will be a severe drought in a few years.
…
On the other side, Qian Jiyun took the little baby to the mouth of the well where everyone drew water.
"Dad, the queue here is so long, I can't even see the end." Qian Yinuo was held in the arms of his own father, with two small hands on his eyes, looking into the distance, but he didn't look.
to the end.
"There are so many people, and those barrels are so big. Dad, let's go over quickly and see how long the queue is."
"do not move!"
Qian Jiyun reached out and slapped the little baby's squirming butt.
"Calm down, daddy will take you to see me."
Wherever they went, there were not only people queuing up to fetch water, but also other people waiting nearby.
He guessed that these people should have come with their families. After all, the water here is already very valuable. If something is spilled, it will definitely not work, so there is an extra person to carry it or escort it.
.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
The little baby was obviously very anxious. He wanted to see where the end of the line was.
The queue of these people was really too long. He had never seen such a long queue in his life, even though he was only a few years old.
"Dad, who are we looking for to talk to? There are people here."
Qian Jiyun: "..."
He was very suspicious that his son insisted on following him because he wanted to watch the fun.
He was still talking in a cliché. This was a serious exchange, not a cliché. Guangye City was already like this, so what else was needed?
However, he didn't know whether it was a cliché or not, but there was a sign erected carelessly outside the team, and he could see it clearly.
It's actually a brand that sells grain at a high price.
"The grain has been collected and brought here."
"What? Daddy, what are you doing collecting grain?"
When the little baby heard her father's voice, she followed Qian Jiyun's gaze and saw the sign not far away and the people sitting behind it.
"They are really harvesting grain, daddy. They are harvesting grain. Is there anyone who really wants to sell grain?"
He saw someone really walking towards the grain collector. He saw that they wanted to sell grain. Are you kidding? There is a severe drought. Shouldn't the people save grain?
Why do we need to sell the grain again?
Suddenly, he saw a large sealed wooden barrel behind the people collecting grain, and he understood what was going on.
"Dad, is that water in those big wooden barrels? Are they exchanging water for food?"
Qian Jiyun had naturally seen those big wooden barrels a long time ago. He had already thought about exchanging water for food. His eyes darkened. If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing others, he would have really wanted to give those offal to him directly.
