Chapter 1131 The Cause of the Drought

We’ll have to go down and see if it’s a secret place to know, but now we have to deal with the affairs of the village first.

The village is not big, with only about a hundred households from beginning to end. While Lin Fan and the others were talking, the quickest ones had already returned with buckets and basins. Some people came with wheelbarrows, and some children held large bowls, and the main thing was that they would never come empty-handed.

Da Zhuang's mother also brought her children, carrying all the wooden buckets and basins that could hold water in the house, and stood quietly waiting by the gate of the yard.

The head of the family, Tie Niu, was so frightened that he hid in the house and refused to come out. The pill he had thrown on the ground before was also gone. I don't know who picked it up.

After the village chief counted the heads, Lin Fan asked everyone to put the water containers together and step aside.

"What are they doing? Aren't they praying for rain?" someone in the crowd murmured.

"Why are you so nosy?" The village chief was anxious and turned around and shouted, "Just listen to what the immortal says, and stop talking!"

"That's right, don't hurt us!"

"We didn't say that, Immortal, please judge for sure!"

Many people are busy disclaiming responsibility.

Lin Fan didn't care about these at the moment. He held the magic formula in his hand and closed his eyes to sense the water source.

Shen Xiuyuan and others took the initiative to protect her in case of any unexpected situation.

With her spiritual sense extended, the five-mile distance was within reach, but Lin Fan's water control ability was far behind her spiritual sense, so it took a while for it to arrive.

It is impossible for a Qi training stage to mobilize water from such a long distance. But Lin Fan has a strong spiritual consciousness and deep spiritual power, as well as precise control, so he is not afraid at all. She is just bold because of her skills. If she were a real Qi training water spirit root, she would probably be forced to shut herself up.

When she caused the water vapor in the river to rise and gather, everyone could not help looking at the sky curiously.

There were no dark clouds overhead and no wind.

Du Xingyu couldn't help but ask Shen Xiuyuan in a low voice. "Brother, is it..."

The word "No" was not uttered, but everyone understood what he meant.

Jintong was so anxious behind them that his head was turning around like a rattle.

"Don't be afraid," Yu Sinian looked at Du Xingyu across Lin Fan, "I still have some ice here. If that doesn't work, I'll take it out and melt it into water for them."

Yu Sinian did not say that the ice was thousand-year-old ice. He had specially found it to prepare for his own formation plate, and it was not easy to come by.

He didn't say it, but Shen Xiuyuan and Du Xingyu both guessed that it was Bing Bufan.

"Junior Sister Lin can do it." Mu Jingjing never doubted Lin Fan at all, and looked at Yu Sinian with her neck stretched out.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Yu Sinian saluted with the fan in his hand. Seeing Mu Jingjing's fist relax, he felt relieved.

"Here it comes!" Jin Tong pointed to the distant sky with his hands dancing.

They saw a long, slender water snake flying through the air towards them.

Everyone looked up, but they didn't notice that Lin Fan had also opened his eyes.

"It's not raining, no wonder." Du Xingyu laughed.

Lin Fan waved his two fingers and the water snake swooped down, landing accurately in the container on the open ground. When one bucket was full, it was transferred to another basin. It looked slow, but it was actually very fast. Before long, half of the containers on the field were filled.

It's raining? That's such a waste! Of course, it's most economical to spray directly with a hose.

She calculated the flow and cut off the water supply in advance. The water snake disappeared and all the containers were filled to about 70%.

"Alright." Shen Xiuyuan stepped forward and said, "Take this water back first and use it for food and drink. It should be enough for three to five days. Remember not to waste it. We will investigate here until the abnormality disappears. Don't panic."

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief hadn't seen such clear water for a long time. He waved to the villagers behind him, "Hurry up, take your things back home, and be careful. Just eat and drink water, and don't be too particular about washing."

People rushed forward and soon the square was empty.

Despite being careful, there were still a lot of wet marks on the ground, which faded and disappeared before the villagers disappeared completely.

"Hiss..." Du Xingyu leaned over and touched it. There was not a trace of moisture on the mud and ash on his fingers. He looked up at the sky. "It's strange. The sun is not very strong today. How come it works so fast?"

Shen Xiuyuan and Yu Sinian also squatted down to look, only Lin Fan crossed his arms and looked at the plants in the distance. The fields had long been dry, and only some large trees that looked quite old were still standing, but the leaves had all fallen off, leaving only dry branches.

There are many factors that cause drought. Excluding unnatural conditions, if we only talk about natural causes, it is generally caused by excessively high temperatures, which leads to increased evaporation, reduced precipitation, and resulting extreme climate phenomena.

For example, in Lanxing, many climate disasters have occurred due to global warming. In the northwest of country H, droughts have occurred frequently in recent years due to dry climate and little rainfall.

But from what Lin Fan saw on the scene, although it was dry here, the temperature was not high enough to cause excessive evaporation.

"The terrain here is flat, the topography is not high, and it is not complicated. There is no situation where rainwater cannot flow downstream." Mu Jingjing said.

"Yes." Shen Xiuyuan stood up and walked around a few steps. "This drought is very strange. Let's go to the village chief's house and ask. There may be something else strange."

Several people walked towards the village chief's house, and Lin Fan fell behind thoughtfully.

She knew more than the others. There were other causes of the drought.

For example, rain requires atmospheric pressure cyclones to disturb the rain clouds. If there is no air flow system to disturb the clouds, no matter how many rain clouds accumulate in the sky, they will not fall.

Another possibility is that the local surface subsidence induced by mountains or other special terrains causes air currents to form dry climate zones, which can also lead to droughts. This may be related to what they found in the river.

Then there are some human factors, but in the ancient world where technology was not well developed, it should be impossible...

"Lin Fan?" Du Xingyu turned around and saw Lin Fan far away from them. He called her hurriedly, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Fan's knowledge is all from the encyclopedia that he memorized by rote before leaving Lanxing. He has no way of clearly explaining the source, so it's naturally difficult for him to speak out freely.

"Are you tired, Junior Sister?" Mu Jingjing asked with concern.

"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Sister, are you tired?" Jin Tong also remembered to show concern, "Do you want to eat something and take a rest?"

Shen Xiuyuan also turned around: "I didn't notice it, Junior Sister..."

"Nothing." She hurriedly took two steps forward and caught up with the others. "I was just thinking, if it was really due to the weather, this level of drought couldn't have come all of a sudden. There should have been signs before this. For example, a few months ago, there were signs of insufficient water supply for crops, but it wasn't that serious, so it didn't attract the attention of these farmers."

Shen Xiuyuan, Du Xingyu and Mu Jingjing are all from wealthy families and know nothing about farming.

Yu Sinian was born in the lower class, but he had never been exposed to these things. Not to mention Jin Tong, his knowledge of crops all started from the baskets of vegetable farmers.

But even though I don’t understand it, I can still understand the basic principles.

"There is a saying among the people," Du Xingyu said. "Before a severe drought, there will be a severe earthquake. Is that the so-called sign?"

"Right." Lin Fan took the opportunity to simplify the reason why the ground subsidence would cause a severe drought. "So no matter what the reason is, even if it is caused by demons and ghosts, there must be strange signs. It's impossible for everything to be fine and suddenly there is a drought one day."

"I understand." Yu Sinian nodded. "When I ask the village chief later, focus on the unusual things."

"My senior sister is so awesome!" Jin Tong flattered her with a smile.

"If you read more books, you can do it too." Lin Fan always had to find an excuse for her knowledge, and her love of learning happened to be well known to everyone in the sect.

Jintong shrank his neck and said nothing.

If she loved studying, why would she be here?

The new article is in the black room.

I had expected this, it was written like this.

Well, the emotional tug-of-war between the two describes this passage.

I don't think it's sexual or explicit, but there are definitely some movements.

I bought a temporary membership and changed the red-marked erotic, mouth, kiss, and chest. There is no exclamation mark, but they still won’t let me out…

Sometimes this thing is really an overreaction, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Forget it, as long as you can get out, don’t think too much.

I was thinking about the couch scene a few days ago, so I'd better save myself the trouble.
