Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

"City Lord! Something happened!" Duoduo shouted loudly, panting heavily. Since he gave birth to the child, his physical condition has been much worse than before. Just climbing this hill made him feel exhausted.

"What happened?" Cheng Mo heard the voice and hurried forward to ask.

"City Lord, I just asked the orcs who are in charge of managing the farmland. They said that since half a cycle month ago, the water flow in the mountains has become less and less. Although they go outside the city to fetch water every day, it is still far from enough for the irrigation needs of crops. So they want to ask you if you have any solution."

"It has lasted for half a cycle of months?" Cheng Mo couldn't help but frowned: "Is it just the water shortage in the city? What about the water situation outside the city?"

"I just went to check the water flow in the moat and found that the amount of water there has indeed decreased a lot!" Duoduo replied worriedly.

"The rainfall this year is really not good!" Cheng Mo frowned and muttered to himself, "What should I do?" While thinking about a solution, he turned to look at Duoduo and ordered, "Go back and tell everyone that every household must take measures to store water in case of emergency. I'm going to go to the high priest and discuss countermeasures with them."

After hearing this, Duoduo quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!" Then he turned and left.

Cheng Mo hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the nursing home, but when he reached the entrance, he suddenly stopped. He thought to himself: "The high priest is old now. If I bother him with these troubles, it will probably make him more uneasy. It is better to go directly to the school to discuss with the high priests there." Having made up his mind, Cheng Mo immediately changed direction and walked towards the school.

However, at this moment, Cheng Mo didn't know that Ban Mu had come to the nursing home to chat with Xiong Bai again.

Banmu leaned against the tree, his face full of annoyance. He sighed and asked in annoyance, "High Priest, why don't you think Xiaomo wants to hold a ceremony with me and be together forever?"

Hearing Banmu's question, Xiongbai still closed his eyes, leisurely lying on the rocking chair and slowly answered: "Is there something you didn't do well enough?"

"I think I'm good." Banmu answered without hesitation. After all, Xiaomo said that he was the best orc in the world!

"..." Xiongbai choked, raised one eye and looked Banmu up and down, muttering: "How shameless!"

Banmu heard this, but he didn't refute anything. He just touched his face worriedly and asked, "Have I become ugly? Is that why Xiaomo doesn't like my face?"

Xiong Bo closed his eyes, rocked his chair leisurely, and replied: "It shouldn't be, your face is still the same as before, there is no change, why don't you ask Cheng Mo?"

Banmu sighed, raised his head, looked at the mottled shadows of the trees, and said, "I asked, but Xiaomo just wouldn't say..."

Xiongbai opened his eyes and looked at Banmu, saying faintly: "I am so old, and I still have to worry about the emotional problems of you little guys. If he didn't tell you, wouldn't you go and check it out?"

"Check? How?" Banmu looked at Xiongbai expectantly.

"You can ask the person he trusts the most and see what he cares about most." Xiong Bo suggested.

"Xiaomo trusts me the most! He cares about me the most!" Banmu said without hesitation.

Xiong Bai shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Hey, why do you bother an old man like me every day with your two matters? How about this, you help Cheng Mo with more things. He has less time to rest since he became the city lord. You help him share some official duties and relieve his pressure. This way you will have common topics. The more you understand each other, the more you will understand why Cheng Mo is unwilling to accept the ceremony with you?"

After saying that, Xiong Bo didn't bother to care about the emotional entanglement between the two people. He stood up tremblingly, picked up the crutches beside him, and slowly walked back to the room, leaving Ban Mu alone there thinking about how he could understand Cheng Mo better.

"Dear high priests, have you noticed the recent drop in river water levels due to the lack of rainfall? I invited you all here today to ask you, have you ever encountered similar situations in the past? And how did you deal with and resolve them?" Cheng Mo stared at the group of high priests in front of him and asked in a serious tone.

One of the high priests touched his chin and thought for a moment before responding, "Our tribe has indeed encountered such a situation before. The solution we adopted at that time was to migrate and find a place with water to settle down, so that we could continue to survive."

"However, considering the huge scale of Qiming City and the large population living in the city, it is obviously unrealistic to ask everyone to relocate." Cheng Mo shook his head helplessly and rejected the proposal.

At this time, another high priest raised his hand and said, "Before I became the high priest, I heard my previous high priest say that when there is a drought, we should pray to the beast god and ask him to send rain." Cheng Mo was stunned after hearing this. Beast god? Isn't that Banmu? But will praying to Banmu really work? He was full of doubts.

"Yes! We can pray to the Beast God! The Beast God will bless each of his children!" The high priests bowed their heads devoutly and prayed to the Beast God. Their expressions were solemn and dignified, as if they were having a spiritual dialogue with the gods.

Cheng Mo stood quietly by the side, watching the high priests bow their heads in prayer, with an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. He understood these people's belief in and dependence on the Beast God, but when he realized that the Beast God was actually his partner, a subtle sense of embarrassment came over him.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the nursing home, Banmu was thinking about how to help Cheng Moshi. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and frowned slightly: "Huh? Who is praying to me?"

Banmu closed his eyes and concentrated. Gradually, a picture became clear in his mind - a group of familiar old men were praying devoutly for rain with their heads bowed.

Banmu opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see a clear sky and bright sunshine. He thought for a moment and couldn't help but frowned. After thinking for a while, he flashed and disappeared in an instant.

When Banmu appeared again, he had returned to the outer world. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the world consciousness curled up on his throne and taking a nap.

Banmu gently stretched out his hand, poked the world consciousness with disdain, and said, "Hey! Stop sleeping on my chair."

When the world consciousness woke up, it was very excited to see Banmu: "You are finally back to work?!" Then the world consciousness seemed to have thought of something, and quickly floated to its own medicine field to take a look. Seeing that the acacia grass was still there, it breathed a sigh of relief and happily floated in front of Banmu.
