Chapter 1469: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (Thirteen)
Flowers bloom and fall in the spring breeze.

Ye Dai leaned in Wang Chen's arms, unable to move even her fingers, and suddenly tears flowed.

Wang Chen felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw his wife crying silently. He 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 Linshui Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha? I heard that it is very effective in praying for children there."

She has been married to Wang Chen for three years, but despite having sex every day, her belly has never grown bigger.

This matter has become a source of worry for Ye Dai.

She had suppressed all her feelings before, but now she couldn't help but express her true feelings: "Or go see a doctor and ask for a prescription."

For Ye Dai, marrying Wang Chen was her best choice.

For the past three years, she has lived a very happy life.

But if she couldn't give birth to a child and there was no way to carry on Wang Chen's family line, then such happiness would inevitably disappear!

Wang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dai'er, this is not your problem, it's mine!"

"what?"

Ye Dai was stunned.

She suddenly thought that apart from herself, Xiaoyu had never been pregnant.

Ye Dai couldn't help but panic: "Husband..."

She didn't expect the problem was with Wang Chen, and was afraid that this problem would make the latter sad or even angry.

"don’t worry…"

Wang Chen sensed his wife's fear and comforted her softly, "I have been practicing the martial arts passed down from my family. I am currently at the stage of refining essence into qi, so I cannot give birth to a child."

"As long as you break through to the level of Qi training and transformation into spirit, there will be no such problem."

Ye Dai was stunned: "Husband, are you still a martial artist?"

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, these two terms are so profound that they seem unfathomable to her.

In fact, Ye Dai knew that Wang Chen was not an ordinary scholar. After all, he was her bedmate for three years. It was impossible for Wang Chen to hide his true qualities perfectly, and he usually revealed some extraordinary qualities.

But she never expected that Wang Chen's strength was beyond her imagination.

"Yes."

Wang Chen kissed her forehead and said, "In fact, I should have told you about this a long time ago. I made you worry for so long in vain. This is wrong of your husband."

"Do not."

Ye Dai blushed: "I am too anxious. How long will it take for my husband to break through to the stage of Qi training and transformation into spirit?"

It won’t take ten or eight years, right?
In this case, even if family members know the truth, it will be difficult to explain to outsiders, and it will inevitably attract a lot of rumors.

Apart from anything else, her father Ye Xiangming would definitely care about it!

"Within three years."

Wang Chen answered confidently: "I must practice Qi and transform it into spirit!"

In fact, he made up this set of rhetoric just to reassure Ye Dai.

In fact, although Wang Chen practiced ordinary martial arts, he was unable to have children due to his physical condition.

Because even though Wang Chen sealed all his cultivation, his body was still a pure immortal body, and it would be impossible for him to have children if he combined with a mortal - it was like they were two different species.

But this problem can be solved.

Wang Chen had read countless Taoist scriptures and books before, and had seen solutions to the problem before.

He hadn't paid attention to this problem before, but now that Ye Dai brought it up, he naturally had to put some thought into solving it.

"That's good."

Ye Dai finally felt relieved. The huge rock that had been pressing on her heart fell to the ground, and she fell into a deep sleep with a sweet smile.

The next morning, Wang Chen left home early and went to the Qingshui River outside the city to fish with his fishing rod.

Before getting married, Wang Chen was the most dedicated fisherman. Apart from teaching the children in the cram school, his main recreational activity was fishing.

The fish caught were also used as a snack for the students.

After getting married, he went fishing less often, and he was also very busy with the expansion and renovation of the school, so he was lucky enough to go fishing two or three times a month.

Recently, Wang Chen calculated that he hadn't cast his fishing rod for nearly two months.

But when he got outside the city, he was surprised by what he saw.

Outside Qing'an County, a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed on both sides of the Qingshui River, mainly growing rice crops.

Thanks 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 around now, most of the rice fields are dry and a lot of rice is showing signs of yellowing, which is obviously the result of lack of irrigation.

In fact, the Qingshui River has not dried up, but the water level has dropped so much that the pedal water wheels connected to the canal cannot reach the water surface, making it impossible for farmers to get water for irrigation.

When Wang Chen arrived at the river, he saw a group of farmers surrounding a waterwheel with sad faces, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and fear.

Some farmers also use buckets tied to long ropes to draw 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 go and order a new waterwheel?"

An old farmer replied sadly: "Sir, you don't know, this is the waterwheel we just ordered a few days ago. We spent a lot of money on it, but the water level has dropped very quickly in the past few days. Alas!"

He sighed heavily, his eyes full of pain and despair.

A pedal waterwheel for fetching water is not a cheap thing. It is extremely difficult to make and only an experienced craftsman can make it well. Moreover, the longer it is, the more expensive it becomes.

The new waterwheel that was just made can’t be used again. This is a joke from hell!

Another farmer whispered, "We are relatively well off here in Qing'an. I heard that the drought in the neighboring county is even more severe, and there are already refugees."

Another farmer complained indignantly: "It's almost autumn. If it doesn't rain, all our rice will be ruined. The price of rice in the city has more than doubled. God is trying to kill us!"

The person next to him immediately covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Is the drought so serious?

Wang Chen felt heavy-hearted after listening to this.

No matter how high the price of rice goes, he has a way to ensure that his family has enough food and clothing and they will never go hungry.

But if the drought continues, the usually peaceful Qing'an County will definitely be in big trouble!

Thinking of this, Wang Chen no longer had any intention of fishing.

He rode his big black donkey back to the city and went to the county government office to ask to see the county magistrate Ye Xiangming, who was also his father-in-law.

With Wang Chen's current identity, it should be no problem for him to meet Ye Xiangming.

But the father-in-law was surprised to see him.

Because Wang Chen and Ye Dai have been married for three years, this is the first time that Wang Chen has come to visit.

It feels like something big.

However, what Ye Xiangming did not expect was that Wang Chen came to him this time because of the drought!

"father in law."

Wang Chen borrowed a pen and paper and drew a simple blueprint: "This is the gravity water truck in my hometown. It can not only adjust the depth of water intake, but also does not require human power. It is very convenient."

"I hope the county government can step in and organize craftsmen to manufacture rice to alleviate the drought and save the rice fields!"
