The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon

Everyone in the main room fell silent subconsciously.

Gu Manzhu held Zhizhi in her arms and sat down on the chair, saying softly, "Warm yourself up first, and then everyone will have a bowl of cold-dispelling soup."

"Yes!" The voice was extremely low, for fear of waking up the sleeping young lady.

No one spoke after that.

The entire main house was very quiet, with only the crackling sound of rain falling on the eaves outside.

Gu Manzhu walked through the half-open door and looked at the rain outside.

After they all went inside, the rain suddenly fell as heavily as before.

The sky was still dark, and it was only the afternoon.

The more Gu Manzhu looked, the gloomier she felt.

Xiao Liu worked quickly and finished cooking the cold-relieving soup in no time.

She brought over a few bowls first.

Ying and his group of guards consciously sent a few people to the kitchen to bring over the rest.

Each person got a bowl.

After it cools down a bit, drink it in one gulp.

Gu Manzhu took the bowl handed to her by Xiao Liu and drank it in a few gulps while it was still hot.

After drinking the cold-repelling soup, the group of people sat in the main house for more than half an hour.

"Ying, ask a few people who can cook to help Xiao Liu prepare dinner!"

Ying responded softly and called a few people who were responsible for cooking on Tiger Mountain to go to the kitchen.

The remaining guards, Gu Manzhu, asked them to go back to their room and rest.

The only people left in the main house were Ying, Xiaochu, Old Man Song, and Gu Manzhu and her daughter.

Old Man Song, who had been silent since returning, spoke up: "Manzhu girl, what do you think of today's heavy rain?"

Heavy rain? Yes, heavy rain.

Gu Manzhu was not surprised. When Old Man Song spoke up on the mountain to stop them and asked them to wait a moment, she knew that he knew that the sudden change in the weather was unusual.

She thought for a while before answering, "I only know that the rain will not stop for a while, and I don't know if there will be other changes in the future."

After listening to this, Old Man Song was silent for a while and then sighed.

"Have you heard about the natural disaster that happened more than 20 years ago?"

How could Gu Manzhu know? She had only been in this world for a short time and the original owner was a peasant woman. How could she know what happened more than 20 years ago?

However, Xiao Chu and Ying, who were sitting next to them, took a breath when they heard it.

Gu Manzhu looked at them puzzledly.

they know?

Xiaochu and Ying didn't say anything.

After asking that question, Old Man Song continued his speech.

"That was a natural disaster that no one could prevent. Just like today, when the sun was shining brightly, it suddenly started to rain heavily as if the sky was falling."

"What happens next?" Gu Manzhu was a little curious.

"After that, the heavy rain never stopped. It rained for half a month. There were floods in countless places across the country. People were displaced. There was no surplus food. They dug up grass roots and peeled tree bark. There were countless people who starved to death on the road. After the flood, there was a plague that was hard to prevent..."

Gu Manzhu's heart trembled after hearing this.

Old Man Song continued, "This natural disaster severely damaged the Yuming Kingdom. The king gathered the strength of the whole country, but failed to prevent this disaster. That year, the national treasury was opened for disaster relief, but only a part of the people could be saved. After the disaster, the people of Yuming Kingdom decreased by one third, and then entered a period of recuperation for more than ten years."

"After the king's wrath comes endless sorrow, but there is nothing that can be done."

After Old Man Song finished speaking, the main house returned to silence.

No one spoke because no one knew what to say.

Gu Manzhu lived in an era of prosperity and peace in her previous life and had never experienced such a major natural disaster. Even if there was a country, the response was very quick. After a series of actions, all the subsequent sorrows were prevented from happening.

Gu Manzhu opened her lips, not knowing what to say to comfort Old Man Song who had experienced such a tragic time.

But surprisingly, Old Man Song looked very sad when he talked about this incident which happened more than 20 years ago.

He has now returned to his usual relaxed state.

Finally, Old Man Song said, "Manzhu girl, you must prepare for the worst."

Gu Manzhu felt her hair stand on end after hearing this.

She could imagine that if what happened more than 20 years ago happened again, the world would be turned upside down.

The people were displaced and had no food to eat, so in order to survive, they could only rob or steal. The most terrible thing was eating...

Gu Manzhu immediately hugged Zhizhi tightly in her arms.

She was a mother of a young child and she couldn't bear the thought of this possibly happening.

Old Man Song looked at her and knew that she had listened to what he said.

Xiao Chu and Ying were completely stunned after hearing what they heard.

They only knew a small part and didn't expect the truth to be so cruel.

Everyone was absent-minded during the dinner.

The meal was carried out amid the sound of heavy rain and the clinking of dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Manzhu returned to her room early in the evening, and lying on the bed, holding Zhizhi and playing with a hydrangea, she fell into a state of emptiness.

After listening to what Old Man Song said, she became very uneasy.

Natural disaster!

It was a scary word to hear, but when she was observing the celestial phenomena today, she saw a hint of opportunity.

Extreme weather!

But we only know about extreme weather.

Now is the cold season.

Even without a flood, the people would have frozen to death.

This is an unsolvable problem.

Gu Manzhu didn't have the energy to think about what to do with the medicinal herbs she had just planted.

I have no choice but to give it up.

This is the best way.

What about the people? How to save them?

She certainly couldn't save everyone by herself. The best way was to find the county magistrate and ask him to evacuate the people and at the same time let them take their own stored food with them.

Fortunately, the Chinese New Year has just passed, and from the autumn harvest before the New Year to now, people should still have a lot of surplus food, as well as New Year's goods.

I just don’t know whether the county magistrate will believe it.

Gu Manzhu thought about how the county magistrate looked in court before. He was a fair and just person who could distinguish right from wrong.

Even if he didn't believe it, she would still give it a try.

Do your best to obey fate!

If she didn't believe her, she could only save her family's lives first.

She has a good heart, but not much.

This way she had to think about the supplies she needed to prepare.

This is a long battle and she has to prepare what everyone needs.

She wants to make sure everyone in the family is alive and well.

Her thoughts returned and she looked at Zhizhi in her arms.

She only saw her mother looking at her and handing her the hydrangea in her hand.

Gu Manzhu didn't answer. Instead, she lowered her head and kissed her forehead again and again.

"Mother will protect you well!"

He just liked his mother to kiss him, so he turned over and lay on Gu Manzhu.

In exchange for the favor, she kissed him back.

Gu Manzhu laughed out loud when she kissed her.

The emotions that had been suppressed for the whole day dissipated a lot in an instant.

After playing with Zhizhi for a while, Gu Manzhu coaxed her to sleep.

My consciousness entered the space.

She needs a lot of food now.

The batch of medicinal herbs planted earlier has been harvested.

Gu Manzhu found some grain seeds in the corner of the pharmacy.

It took one night to plant most of the seeds.
