Chapter 596 The Great Drought After the Snow Disaster

After the full moon banquet, Ye Qingqing was not able to leave the house.

Because the outside is still icy and snowy, it is so cold that people can freeze to death.

Ye Ying said that she had just given birth, and although she was already confinement, she was still very weak, so she was not allowed to go out at all.

The days of staying in the house like this continued until the first month came out.

After the first lunar month, the heavy snow that had been falling for five consecutive months finally stopped.

The sky cleared up, the long-lost sun came out, and the sun filled the earth.

Covered in silver makeup under the sunlight, it looks very spectacular, but no one is in the mood to appreciate this scene.

Seeing that it is already spring, but the snow has not melted yet.

Under such circumstances, it is simply whimsical to want to sow crops.

But if you don’t sow now, what can you harvest when the harvest comes?
Although the food of each household should be able to eat for a long time, people who have not seen green vegetable leaves in winter really feel uncomfortable.

Farmers depend on food, and they cannot grow crops, which is like killing them.

Ye Yongsheng, as the village head, had blisters on his mouth in anxiety, his eye sockets were closed, and he looked haggard.

But no matter how anxious you are, there is nothing you can do.

The snow accumulation in one winter is not ordinary, and it will definitely not be melted in a short time.

No matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.

Another month passed in a flash, and the snow in the field finally melted, and everyone hurriedly started this year's spring plowing.

Although the time was much later, it still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

Spring plowing has been busy for more than half a month, and when all the fields were sown, everyone was relieved.

However, this tone was quickly brought up again.

During spring plowing, the land is very humid because of the hardened snow, so the seeds germinate not long after being planted.

But it hasn't rained since the beginning of spring, and this situation lasted until the Qingming Festival, when everyone finally realized that something was wrong.

If there is no rain, the crops will not grow well.

If the crops are not growing well, it means that there is no harvest.

All of a sudden, the village once again fell into gloom and mist.

Ye Damao frowned every day, not knowing what to do next.

If it doesn't rain, every household can only carry water to irrigate the fields by themselves, so as to ensure that the crops in the fields will not die due to lack of water.

Now each family can't stop worrying about their own affairs, let alone have the thought and time to worry about other people's affairs.

Even if Ye Damao is willing to pay wages, no one is willing to leave the land at home without irrigation and come to help Ye Damao with work.

Ye Damao, who couldn't bear it after searching for several days, frowned and sighed all day long.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing also became anxious.

At this time in her previous life, she had already left here, and she didn't even come back until she died, so she didn't know when the disaster here would pass.

Originally, she thought it was just a snowstorm, but now that it was the beginning of spring, she didn't expect a drought.

The current drought is short, and everyone can still carry water from the river for irrigation.

But if the drought continues, it may cause panic.

Without food, people can still live on ninja starvation for several days.

But if there is no water, I'm afraid it won't last a day.

Ye Qingqing didn't know about others, but she alone, if she was not allowed to drink water for a day, it would be like killing her.
