Chapter 1466: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (13)
Chapter 1469: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (13)
Flowers bloom and fall with spring breeze.
Ye Dai leaned in Wang Chen's arms, unable to even move her fingers, and suddenly shed tears.
Wang Chen felt something strange. He lowered his head and saw his wife crying silently, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Ye Dai shook her head gently and whispered: "Husband, do you think I should go to the Linshui Temple outside the city to worship the Bodhisattva? I heard that it is very effective in praying for a child there."
She and Wang Chen have been married for three years, but it's been raining every day, and her belly has never grown bigger.
This matter has become Ye Dai's heartache.
She had suppressed it in her heart before, but at this moment she couldn't help but express her true feelings: "Maybe go see the doctor and ask for a prescription."
For Ye Dai, marrying Wang Chen is her most correct choice.
For three years, she lived an extremely happy life.
But if there is no way to give birth to children and carry on the family line for Wang Chen, then such happiness will inevitably dissipate!
As a result, Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "Diel, this is not your problem, it is mine!"
"ah?"
Ye Dai was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly thought that besides herself, Xiaoyu had never been pregnant.
Ye Dai couldn't help but panic: "Husband..."
She didn't expect that the problem was Wang Chen, and was afraid that the problem would make him sad or even angry.
"don’t worry…"
Wang Chen noticed his wife's fear and comforted him softly: "I have been practicing the martial arts inherited from my family. I am currently in the state of refining Qi, so I cannot give birth to an heir."
"As long as you break through to the level of practicing Qi and transforming into a god, there won't be this problem."
Ye Dai was confused: "Husband, are you still a martial artist?"
Refining Qi to transform Qi, and refining Qi to transform Spirit into spirit. These two terms were so lofty that they made her feel unfathomable.
In fact, Ye Dai knew that Wang Chen was not an ordinary scholar. After all, he had been with her day and night for three years. It was impossible for Wang Chen to hide himself impeccably. He usually revealed some extraordinary qualities.
But she never expected that Wang Chen's strength would reach beyond imagination.
"Yes."
Wang Chen kissed her forehead: "Actually, I should have told you about this a long time ago. It's my husband's fault that I have made you worry for so long in vain."
"No."
Ye Daiqiao blushed: "I am too anxious. How long will it take for my husband to break through and practice Qi to transform into God?"
It won’t take ten or eight years, right?
In this case, even if your own family members know it well, it will be difficult to explain it to outsiders, which will inevitably lead to a lot of rumors.
If nothing else, her father Ye Xiangming will definitely care about her!
"Within three years."
Wang Chen confidently replied: "I will practice Qi to transform into God!"
In fact, his rhetoric was entirely made up to reassure Ye Dai.
In fact, although Wang Chen practiced ordinary martial arts and martial arts, his inability to give birth to an heir was due to his physical condition.
Because even though Wang Chen has sealed all his cultivation, his body is still a Immortal Immortal Body, and it is impossible to have children when combined with a mortal - similar to two species.
But this problem can be solved.
Wang Chen has read countless Taoist scriptures before and has seen the solution.
He didn't pay attention to this issue before, but now that Ye Dai has brought it up, he will naturally have to put some effort into solving 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.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Chen left home early and took his fishing rod to go fishing in the Qingshui River outside the city.
??????????.??????
Before getting married, Wang Chen was the most dedicated fisherman. In addition to giving lessons to the children in the school, his main recreational activity was fishing.
The fish caught are also used as supplements for the students.
After getting married, the number of times he fished was greatly reduced, and he was very busy with the expansion and renovation of the school, so it was good to be able to fish two or three times a month.
In recent times, Wang Chen has not thrown a pole for nearly two months.
But when he arrived outside the city, what he saw in front of him surprised him.
Outside Qing'an County, a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed on both sides of the Qingshui River, mainly growing rice crops.
Due to the nourishment of this long river, the annual rice output is good, which to a large extent ensures the long-term stability of rice prices in the county.
However, looking at it now, most of the rice fields are dry and many rice plants are showing 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 be unable to reach the water surface, making it impossible for farmers to collect water for irrigation.
When Wang Chen came to the river, he saw a group of farmers surrounding the water tanker with sad faces, and everyone had anxiety and fear on their faces.
Some farmers also use buckets tied with long ropes to fetch water from the river, but this is too inefficient.
It is simply impossible to meet the water needs of rice fields.
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you order a new waterwheel?"
An old farmer replied sadly: "Sir, I don't know. This is the water tanker that was just ordered a few days ago. We spent a lot of money on it. As a result, 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 water cart used for fetching water is not a cheap thing. It is very difficult to make. It doesn’t take an experienced craftsman to make it well. Moreover, the longer it is, the more expensive it is.
The new waterwheel we just made doesn’t work anymore. This is a joke from hell!
Another farmer whispered: "Our place in Qing'an is pretty good. I heard that the drought in the next county is getting worse and there are already refugees."
Another farmer was indignant: "Autumn is coming soon. If it doesn't rain, all the rice here will be destroyed. Now the price of rice in the city has more than doubled. God is going to kill us!"
The person next to him immediately covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Is the drought so serious?
Wang Chen felt a little heavy when he heard this.
No matter how high the price of rice rises, he still has a way to ensure that his family has food and clothing and will never go hungry.
But if this drought continues, there will definitely be big problems in Qing'an County, which has always been peaceful!
Thinking of this, Wang Chen no longer had any thoughts about fishing.
He rode back to the city on a big black donkey and went to the county government office to seek an audience with the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, his father-in-law.
With Wang Chen's current status, it would be no problem to meet Ye Xiangming.
But the father-in-law was surprised when he saw him.
Because Wang Chen and Ye Dai have been married for three years, this is the first time Wang Chen has come to visit them.
It feels like things are a bit big.
However, what Ye Xiangming didn't expect even more was that Wang Chen was looking for him this time because of the drought!
"father in law."
Wang Chen borrowed a pen and paper and drew a simple drawing by hand: "This is a self-flow water truck in my hometown. Not only can the depth of water intake be adjusted, but it does not require human power to drive it. It is very convenient."
“I hope that the county government can come forward and organize craftsmen to manufacture, so as to alleviate the drought and save the rice fields!”
