Earlier, in a nearby mountain village, due to drought, the grain tax could not be paid, so the demon hunter team led people into the village, beating and smashing it.

Several elderly people in the village who were in their 70s or 80s were beaten to death.

As soon as this news spread, everyone in the nearby villages felt insecure and panicked, forcing the village chief of Pancun to go to Beicang to steal food.

According to the village chief's description, it was not just Pancun that encountered a similar situation, but some surrounding villages were also hit by droughts one after another and were unable to pay food and grass.

Another representative team?

Only then did everyone in Ye Lingyue know that there was another representative team coming to Fang'a County.

There are many teams participating in the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt this time, and the Huangquan team is just one of them. It’s not surprising that they don’t know about the other team’s existence.

Recalling the reaction of the county magistrate earlier, Ye Lingyue and others understood that the reason why they were sent to Beicang to guard the granary must be because of the manipulation of the representative team.

The other party's intention is obvious, which is to seize merit and leave Fang'a County as soon as possible.

"This is unreasonable. There are tens of thousands of loads of grain in Beicang. Even if there is a natural disaster, if the granary is released, it will be enough for countless victims in the nearby villages of three townships and eighteen villages. If you are an official who does not serve the people, what kind of bullshit official do you think you are?

I'll go get the county magistrate."

When Situ and Lanfeng heard this, their blood boiled and they were ready to teach the magistrate a lesson.

"Stop, both of you, calm down. This is not Huangquan City. Fang'a has its own city lord and county magistrate. We are just an ordinary representative team now. If we really want to go against the county government, we will disrupt the order and will probably be killed.

Being treated as a bandit, do you still want to continue participating in the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt?"

Ye Lingyue scolded both Situ and Lanfeng.

"Ling Yue is right, you two just fail more than you succeed. I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Why don't we all go around the village separately to see if the situation in the village is as the village chief said."

Gong Linxin suggested.

Everyone agreed and started patrolling the village separately.

Ye Lingyue and Guangzi, together with Xiao Zhiyo and Xiao Wuya, checked the wells in the village and the stream at the entrance of the village.

"The water has bottomed out. The water flow is very narrow and has stopped flowing. Several main wells in the village have also dried up. The drought is severe."

Photon looked around and turned back.

"The crops in the field are in the earing stage. Without water, there will be no harvest."

Ye Lingyue frowned, and the more she looked at it, the weirder she felt.

She remembered that the information recorded that Fang'a County had good weather and had several major rivers flowing through it. Because of this, food crops in this area had been growing well.

In the hundreds of years recorded in county history, we have never encountered even a minor drought, let alone such a severe drought.

Generally speaking, the climate of a region will not be abnormal for no reason.

"Boss."

Xiao Wuya, who was following Ye Lingyue, suddenly spoke.

"I think there's something wrong with this place. It lacks the spirit of water."

Xiaowuya's words woke up the dreamer.

Ye Lingyue realized it immediately. No wonder she felt something was wrong. Just as Xiaowuya said, Pan Village lacked the spirit of water.

Except for a few cities in ancient Jiuzhou, such as Yanmen and Huangquan, which lacked spiritual power, in most areas, the five spirits were quite complete.

The more abundant the five spirits are, the better everything in a place can grow.

Just like Ye Lingyue's Hongmeng Tian, ​​it is a rare blessed land of five spirits, so all kinds of crops and even spiritual beasts grow extremely well in it.

Compared to the outside world, even in Five Spirits City, Hongmengtian's Five Spirits are at least ten times or even dozens of times more abundant.

Of course, this abundance is only for ordinary people. For certain warriors and alchemists, if they want to practice the power of reincarnation, they still need to get some super big cities or treasure places like Five Spirits City.

Xiaowuya is a descendant of the Ice and Fire Phoenix. She is more sensitive to the Five Elements Spirits with two attributes: water and fire than anyone else.

When she followed Ye Lingyue to Pancun, she felt that the five spirits in this place were very unbalanced.

When she thought about it carefully, she found that there were almost no water spirits in this village.

Water is the source of life for all things. Without the spirit of water, the entire village will be as if it has been dried up by the wind, and the spirits of the five elements of other attributes are also rapidly lost.

The trees began to wither, the soil became barren, gold and stone collapsed into the city's sand, and the rivers dried up, making it a place of severe drought.

"There is a lack of water spirit..."

Ye Lingyue pondered.

After a while, other team members also collected information and came back to meet up.

Through conversations with the villagers, the team members also discovered that what the village chief told was the truth.

"There is no way to go on like this. We have to tell the county magistrate about the matter and find a way to solve the drought in inventory. The villagers have been staying here, and they will die of hunger or thirst."

Everyone agreed so.

So Ye Lingyue took the village chief back to the county government office and told the county magistrate in detail about the difficulties faced by Pancun.

"Drought in Pancun? This is simply ridiculous."

"It has been five years since my officer was assigned to Fang'a County. During these five years, the weather has been good and there has never been any natural disaster**. Besides, after taking inventory of several nearby villages, no drought has been reported. Could it be that this is just a mere incident?

How many miles away will the weather be different?"

When the county magistrate heard this, instead of showing any sympathy, he loudly reprimanded Ye Lingyue and the village chief of Pancun.

"County magistrate, if you don't believe it, you can go to Pancun and have a look."

Seeing that the county magistrate was being unreasonable, Ye Lingyue stepped forward, dragged the magistrate and started to walk out.

"You are so impudent that you dare to hold the county magistrate hostage. Take them all down."

It's late, but it's soon.

But he saw a dozen tough men suddenly pouring into the county government office.

These people are all tall and fat, and the leader is a short-bearded man, Captain An of the Sky Falcon team.

"Are you the captain of another team stationed in Fang'a County? I am Ye Lingyue from the Huangquan team. There is a drought in Pancun and the situation is very urgent."

Ye Lingyue looked straight at Captain An.

Unexpectedly, when the other party saw that she was just a dark-faced girl with a thin figure and no power of reincarnation, she sneered coldly.

"Who do you think you are? You dare to be compared with me, the captain. It's a drought or not. I only know that if you don't pay the grain tax, it's illegal. As a captain, if you join the villagers in resisting the tax, your crime will be increased."

When Ye Lingyue heard this, her dark eyes dimmed. Suddenly, a strong wind swept past.

She shrugged her shoulders, activated her "Ten Heavenly Powers" in an instant, accelerated her body, and slammed her shoulder into Captain An.

Captain An looked with disdain and did not dodge, and was ready to wait for Ye Lingyue to humiliate herself.
Chapter completed!
