The sun is shining brightly, there is no snow in the middle of winter, it is windy, slightly warm, and withered grass occasionally dances in the wind...

It has been ten days since I came back from the county to congratulate Lin Yexing. The rare happy gathering has passed, and life will continue.

In the small courtyard on the outskirts of Niujiao Town, Yunjing put down the book in his hand and looked up at the sky. There was no smile on his face. This winter, to this day, there has been no snow in the world.

This kind of climate is very abnormal and very worrying.

Not only that, according to Yunjing's observation, the water levels of many surrounding rivers and streams are declining. Although it is normal for water levels to drop in winter, this year's water levels have dropped much more than in previous years. The stones on the river bottom are exposed and turn white in the sun. It seems that

There is a tendency to be completely exhausted!

Even the water level of the Li River, which runs almost across the entire Dali Dynasty, is declining. You must know that the vast Li River is dozens of miles wide. Even if the water level drops by one meter, it is a terrifying figure...

In such an abnormal situation, not to mention Yunjing, everyone felt that something was wrong, fearing a catastrophe, and the public atmosphere became inexplicably depressed.

Manpower cannot control God's affairs, and people can only wait for subsequent changes. However, in this climate, many aspects have begun to be affected to a certain extent. Not to mention other things, the price of food on the market is quietly rising. A pound of food is more expensive than

It’s usually 10% more expensive, which doesn’t seem like much, but how about looking at the world?

Bai Zhi went to the town to run a shop, and her shop has not been affected much yet.

Yunjing's life was not affected much. He mainly studied every day. He had not yet reached the goal of the imperial examination. He still wanted to strive for the title of Jinshi. He could not slack off in his studies for a day.

At noon that day, Song Yan, who was Yunjing's personal student, came to the courtyard. Knowing that Yunjing was not in a beautiful mood, Song Yan put away his smile and looked solemn.

"Master, there is the latest news about the situation you brought my attention to. It snowed for the first time since the beginning of winter in the north, but it is not good news because the snow only lasted for half a day, and the amount of snowfall was very small, covering only the ground.

An inch will melt quickly under the sun," Song Yanhui reported, with a complicated expression.

Even though he was in a humble position, a little person like him gradually felt an inexplicable depressing atmosphere, which was so heavy that it made people breathless.

Yun Dingding nodded to express his understanding. He had expected such a situation and did not mention it too much. Instead, he changed his question and asked, "What about the things I asked you to do?"

"Back to the young master, what you ordered has been going on. Until now, through the relationship between the Jin family, we have quietly hoarded hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain and stored it in various places, mainly in the warehouses in the town, and some in the county, because

We acted early and low-key and did not attract any attention," Song Yan replied.

Hearing this answer, Yunjing said: "Well, you did a good job."

"Master, now that food prices are rising, should we continue?" Song Yan hesitated. Hundreds of millions of kilograms of food is a lot. One person can't finish it till the end of time. He doesn't know what Yunjing needs so much food for.

, and didn’t dare to ask.

Regarding this issue, Yun Jing said: "There is never too much food. Find a way to stock up on more food. The premise is that the market will not be turbulent because of us. You only need to follow the normal market price."

"I understand, little one," Song Yan took a deep breath and said.

Yunjing warned: "It's dry today, so be careful about fire prevention where food is stored."

Fire prevention is common sense, but Yunjing still couldn't help but remind him that so much food would turn into useless fly ash in the event of a fire.

"Don't worry, young master, we are paying attention to fire prevention at all times, and there are dedicated personnel patrolling every day," Song Yan said in a deep voice. Normal people know the importance of fire prevention.

The importance of food is self-evident. With today's climate, it is difficult for Yun Jing not to think of terrible consequences. It is definitely right to be prepared. Naturally, he cannot eat so much food, but once the imagined situation occurs,

Food will be of great use.

Of course, for Yunjing, it is best if the imaginary situation does not happen. For him, it is just a loss of some money, and he can still sell it for cash, so it will not be a big loss.

Money in your hands is no different from scrap metal. Only by replacing it with something useful can the value of money be reflected.

Not mentioning this, Yunjing changed the subject and asked: "What about other aspects, is there anything worth noting?"

"Back to the young master, there are many things worth noting. I won't go into details in the distance. The situation in several surrounding countries is getting worse and worse, and our territory in Dali is also not peaceful. Rumors about the inheritance of Burial Sword Mountain are spreading everywhere. There is chaos everywhere, turmoil in the world, and many

There were also rumors about the appearance of the Emperor's Sword in the local area. The court was shaken and could not suppress it. There were also rebellions and rebels in the west. The third prince brought an army of 200,000 people to suppress the rebellion. However, they failed to capture it after the first battle, with tens of thousands of casualties.

, Now there is a stalemate, and the specific follow-up has not yet been received..." Song Yan reported to Yun Jing in detail what he learned about the situation.

Although Yunjing also understood the situation of all parties in his own way, there were always things he couldn't take into account, so it was necessary for Song Yan to impulsively check and correct the omissions.

After hearing this, Yunjing sighed in a complicated tone: "It's been such an eventful year," and then said: "I remember it's almost a holiday for the school in town these two days, right? Inform Uncle Liu and the others to go and send Xiaodong and the others home.

"Xiaodong and the others, please convey my message, don't wander around if you have nothing to do after you return."

"Okay, young master," Song Yan nodded and said. He probably understood that Yunjing would not be going home these days. He had no time to spend with his family as he had been doing for many years. He wanted to make arrangements for himself, but what should Yunjing do next?

He is not qualified to ask.

In fact, Yunjing doesn't have anything important at the moment, but his heart is heavy and a little depressed. He doesn't want to take such emotions home. His family knows him well, and no matter how hard he hides his emotions, it will inevitably be seen. If he makes his family worry, he will

Oh no.

After some exchanges, there was nothing else to do. Yun Jing said: "Okay, you can go and do your work."

Song Yan did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Young Master, I have heard recently that the three martial arts sects in Xinlin County seem to be in disharmony.

There is friction, especially between Feng Daomen and Iron Spear Hall. They are obviously joining forces to target the Liuye Sword Sect. It is obvious that the Liuye Sword Sect has put pressure on them because of Young Master Lin."

After he finished speaking, Yun Jing said calmly: "I understand, these are not things we should be concerned about. They are making trouble for them. As long as it does not affect the people, there is no need to worry about it. Besides, there are still government officials, so it is not our turn to worry about it."

Not understanding what Yun Jing was thinking, Song Yan said: "You are too talkative. If you don't bother the young master, please leave."

After Song Yan left, Yunjing pondered for a while and continued reading and studying like a normal person, not being affected by various information in his daily life.

It’s not easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Although the Liuye Sword Sect and the Shen family in the north are now related to each other, the sky is high and the road is far away. The development of the Liuye Sword Sect takes time, and the other two parties will not sit back and watch its rise.

weighing on one's head.

Now whether it is public or private, Lin Xingyu and Lin Yexing are siblings. Putting this aside, Liuye Sword Sect and Lin Yexing are not involved much. Based on this, Iron Spear Hall and Fengdao Sect dare to blatantly

Regarding the Liuye Sword Sect, even if they were destroyed, as long as they didn't go too far towards Lin Xingyu, the Lin family wouldn't say anything. After all, that's how the world is.

Some things and some people always have to be given an explanation. After all, there is no way to continue to be so unclear. Let's take some time to go there in the next few days...

Yun Jing, who is reading a book, thinks so with two minds.

Recently, another city with hundreds of thousands of people in the Sanluo Dynasty was turned into a dead zone. There were only a few survivors in the city. When the news came out, the whole country was shocked. People were sent to investigate, but the mastermind behind it could not be found at all. Even though they were specifically investigating this.

The mythical world was a little worried about this incident, and at the same time, it was extremely angry. Who was doing the outrageous thing that day?

In the palace hall, Wu Qingmei sat high on the throne with a frosty look on his face. He looked down at the civil and military officials of the court who were hesitating and unable to come up with any effective solution. He secretly thought that no one in the whole country could help me relieve my worries. How ridiculous!

If that person was here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so entangled...

A figure who was always unfazed by favors and humiliations flashed through Wu Qingmei's mind. After another negotiation with no results, she was upset and decisively announced her withdrawal from the court. She was annoyed by the sight of those guys who were depriving the emperor of his salary but could not share his worries.

The Dali Dynasty takes him very seriously, and the masters in the Mythical Realm are always watching over him to prevent accidents. So, can the Dali Dynasty use diplomacy to let him go and ask him to help?

This thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and Wu Qingmei couldn't stop it. However, this matter must be considered in the long run. It should be noted that the Sanluo Dynasty does not have much say in front of the Dali Dynasty now. The gap between the two sides in last year's battle was too big.

In a weak country, many things are very helpless. You have to be very careful when borrowing someone. Besides, that person is regarded as so important. How can you let him be easily put in danger?

Another morning, Yunjing and Bai Zhi sat opposite each other and had breakfast, chatting about some household matters during the meal.

He gave Yun Jing Wanli a piece of radish strips and saw that he was squeaking while chewing, but his eyes were a little lost and his brows did not relax. Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Is there something bothering you, sir?"

Yunjing can't hide his emotions in front of close people. Hearing this, Yunjing took a sip of white porridge and said: "I don't have anything to worry about. It's just that I finally had a peaceful life for a few days, and now everything is not peaceful. It's a bit...

It’s just emotion”

The pickles made from pickled radish strips and chili powder stimulate the taste buds, are crunchy and delicious, and are perfect for porridge.

"Yes, peace is rare, but there are always disturbances. Peace is rare. Things that are too far away from us can't be changed. Why should officials bother themselves?" Bai Zhi comforted.

Smiling, Yunjing said: "Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Life will always go on. It's useless to think about it any more."

"Well, the official is feeling unhappy, why not go for a walk to relax," Bai Zhi suggested.

After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Yunjing put Kuaizi down, took the handkerchief from Bai Zhi, wiped his mouth and said, "I just came back not long ago, and I don't want to go far away for the time being. Xiaobai doesn't need to worry too much. My husband has his own way to relieve his boredom."

Law"

After getting up and pouring him a glass of mouthwash, Bai Zhi smiled and said, "So, the official is going fishing again today?"

"Of course, fishing can make people feel peaceful, and it is also a good way to cultivate one's moral character." Yun Dingding nodded.

During this period of time, he often went out fishing and kept it in a fixed location. It was almost a daily habit. It was also at this time that he would concentrate and not think so much.

Pursing his lips, Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Well, don't go back empty-handed today, sir. The ingredients for my concubine have been prepared long ago. I'm just waiting for the officer to come back and make soup for you."

"

With a twitch in his mouth, Yunjing said harshly: "That's not because I can't catch fish, but because I chose the wrong location, and the fish are lazy and don't like to bite the hook this season."

How can you say that you can't catch fish when it comes to fishermen? There must be a reason, and it's definitely not your fault!

"Since the location is wrong, why don't the officials move to another place?" Bai Zhi asked, holding back a smile.

Yun Jing immediately hummed and said: "Youdao lies down wherever you fall. No, wherever you get up, I don't believe you can't catch fish there, so I'll get into trouble with my husband!"

"Okay, I will wish you a fruitful return today." Bai Zhi was extremely happy, but he still opened his mouth to comfort and clear the table while talking.

After eating and drinking, Yunjing stood up and hugged her, and then said: "Then I went out to fish. Xiaobai, just wait and see if I don't catch them today."

After saying that, Yunjing let her go to pack up the fishing gear. Today, she will try fishing with beans soaked in rice wine prepared yesterday. If she changes the bait, I won't believe that she can't catch it!

After Yunjing packed up, he carried a bunch of things and went out. Bai Zhi had to run the store and was not traveling with him.

As Yun Jing said before, his fishing spots were all fixed during this period. He did not catch fish in the nests he made, but instead fed them. But it didn't matter. Fishing was not his purpose. It was mainly to divert his attention so as not to think about it.

There are so many, otherwise it wouldn’t be easy to get all the fish back home?

The fishing spot is not around Niujiao Town, but a small river twenty or thirty miles away from Niujiao Town. This distance is not a problem for Yunjing. If he wants to go, it will only be a matter of seconds, but he is not in a hurry.
To be continued...
