Chapter 595
Leaving Deng Fuzi's residence, looking at the bright sun in the sky, Yun Jing couldn't feel the slightest warmth, only a bone-deep chill.

The word curse weighed heavily on his heart, making his hair stand on end.

The entire human civilization has been cursed, and the current drought is just the beginning. How long will the drought last?What will follow?How can the curse be removed from human civilization?

Knowing more is not a good thing, a deep sense of powerlessness hits my heart, that feeling is hard to describe...

Exhaling a long breath, Yunjing looked back at Mrs. Deng's residence, his eyes moved. The old man said before that he was light, but Yunjing could feel that his situation was not optimistic. Contact, although he cut off the contact in time, the trauma he suffered is definitely worse than imagined!

This is the master, personal gains and losses are no longer important, to forge ahead for all people in the world, if you can find a way forward, you will not hesitate to pay the price of your life.

This is the human race. Throughout history, there are always such existences who carry the great righteousness forward, are remembered by history, and sing for civilization.

Their deeds may not be tragic, but they are worthy of everyone's admiration.

The word "Master" not only represents status and status, but also dedication and responsibility.

Standing at their height is already transcendent, but in many cases, there are differences in positions, such as when the whole country is at war.

Looking back, Yun Jing left with a heavy heart, only hoping that Mrs. Deng could go further, otherwise...

After Yun Jing left, Mrs. Deng coughed lightly, and he looked extremely tired, with gloomy eyes and low spirits.

"Master..." His old servant immediately stepped forward to help him, extremely worried.

Deng Changchun shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, I can last for a while."

"Master, take a break, you've done enough," the old servant choked up. After years of getting along with master and servant, he didn't know how bad Master Deng was.

Gently shaking his head, Master Deng calmly said: "I'm not dead yet. Why are you sad? It's natural to die. After living for hundreds of years, I have already seen through life and death. It's just a pity that that step is like The moat is difficult, if you can get over it..."

He didn't say what he said later because it didn't make sense.

After leaving, Yunjing went back to the south directly. He read books on weekdays and took care of the crops in the fields with his family. Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

There has been no rain in the sky, and the drought is continuing and getting worse, causing a series of bad situations.

Food prices continued to skyrocket, and many people could no longer buy food with their money. There were more and more bandits, and the whole world was shrouded in a heavy shadow of restlessness.

At the edge of the field in Xiaoxi Village, Yunjing Yunshan and his son washed hands and feet at the edge of the field after working all day.

Now it’s summer, the sun is scorching hot, and even in the evening under the drought, it is extremely hot. Looking at the rice in the field, Yunshan’s eyes did not have the slightest joy, but he said worriedly: “What should I do?”

After working for several months, the rice plants have grown, but they are not as strong as in previous years. Although there is no shortage of water in the field, the plants are still affected by the extreme heat. Even if they can survive until the time of harvest, the harvest will definitely be affected. It has a huge impact, and for Yunshan, who has been a farmer all his life, one can imagine what it feels like in his heart.

Xiaoxi Village is the place where Yunjing grows and grows. Of course, he has to take care of it first. There is no shortage of water for irrigation, but it cannot withstand the scorching sun. It is impossible for the crops to grow without being affected by the sun every day. of.

It's not too bad here with Yunjing looking after the situation, but other places...

After rinsing and collecting them, Yunjing put on his shoes and comforted him, "Father, don't feel bad, our family doesn't live on the crops in the field now, and we don't have to pay taxes now, so it's fine."

"That's what I said, but I feel uncomfortable. The growth of the crops in previous years has been gratifying, but now, hey, I'm afraid it's not as good as the previous harvest of the farmyard manure," Yun Shan shook his head and struggled.

Farmers all their lives have been dealing with the fields all year round. Farming has been integrated into the bone marrow and soul. Seeing that the conditions in the fields are not good, the feeling is very uncomfortable, and it is not the farmers who cannot understand it at all.

Yun Jing understood that any consolation seemed pale at this time, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Let's go, Dad, let's go home, Mother said we will eat stewed chicken today"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you are so capable, find a way to make the Zhuang's parents feel better," Yun Shan said in a bad mood.

Yun Jing was speechless, and said to himself, Dad, you have nothing to lose your temper with me, forget it, you are Dad, it would be great to say a few words to make you feel at ease, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat.

Silently, the father and son returned home with the rakes on their shoulders. The sun set and the villagers in the fields all returned home from work one after another, shouting and chatting.

Naturally, Yunjing has a way to make the crops in the field grow better, and set up a gathering of spirits, but he didn't do that. Firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, if the crops in his own field are done well, what about other people? ?Do you want to ask?Even if the whole village is taken care of, the situation here cannot be concealed. Disasters are everywhere. As long as you are here, it will definitely cause a series of troubles. Why bother for that little food?

Looking at the small stream in the village, even if Yunjing opened up the source of groundwater, the water condition of the stream is also decreasing now, and the villagers can't notice this slight change, but Yunjing is very clear.

The groundwater is not endless, and the water potential will also weaken and decrease. It has not rained in the sky. It is inevitable that the stream in Xiaoxi Village will dry up again. It is only a matter of time. I am not worried at present. Groundwater sources are.

In short, Yunjing will try his best to protect his own hometown silently. His personal ability is limited, and he will help other places as much as he can.

The family enjoyed the dinner happily, during which Jiang Susu occasionally mentioned that the school fees in the town would increase by [-]%.

This question was just mentioned in one word, and the family didn't get too entangled, because entanglement was useless.

In the final analysis, it was caused by the drought, and all walks of life were affected. Although the school is behind the government, it is impossible to teach students in vain. All kinds of prices are rising, and it is impossible for the school to pay back.

It can even be said that the increase in school fees is considered conscientious, and it does not double up like other things.

Yundong Yunxi was still studying, if not for that, none of the family would have thought of such a thing.

At night, Yunjing stood in his small courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, lost in thought alone, with many thoughts in his mind.

"If the drought is not relieved, troubled times will come, but the root of the drought is the curse caused by foreign civilizations, and the drought is just the beginning. Using my own ability to think about solving the curse is tantamount to nonsense, and the chaos that will come at any time in the future The situation needs to be prepared in advance..."

Thoughts flickered, Yunjing had a plan. No matter what, the first thing he had to consider was the tranquility of Xiaoxi Village. He dared not say much, but he could still guarantee the tranquility of Xiaoxi Village.

Chaotic times are approaching, then the world will be closed!
There were only those things at home, so Yunjing didn't need to worry too much. The next morning, Yunjing told his family to go to the town by himself, and soon came to the small courtyard outside Niujiao Town.

He came early, before Bai Zhi went to the store, he was eating breakfast, and Yun Jing's arrival naturally added an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"The drought is getting worse. Under such circumstances, everyone in the world knows that this year's harvest will be greatly affected. Many places even have no crops. They are saving food and clothing. Most of the grain stores in the town have closed. There is no supply of goods. Furthermore, the skyrocketing price of grain has reached an extremely dangerous level. Grain merchants are waiting and watching. It is useless for the government to strictly prohibit closing business. Recently, there have been incidents of attacking shops in order to buy grain..., official, our little Yunbai During this period of time, there is almost no business. After all, they only buy some accessories and daily necessities rather than necessities. What people want now is food, and they will not waste money on these useless things. The business of the pawnshop is terribly prosperous. , sell low-priced pawns at high prices, and make a lot of money. Banks are very dangerous. There are too many people withdrawing money. Business is getting better and better, people are uneasy, and it is somewhat comforting to have an inch of iron in hand. The surrounding area of ​​Niujiao Town is not bad. After all, this is the fiefdom of the eldest princess, but there are bandits in other places. Together..."

While eating breakfast, Bai Zhi and Yun Jing talked about some trivial things in the surrounding life. Although these situations were not important to them, they were also a little worried because they were closely related.

The trend of the times, no one can be alone, nothing more than the extent of the impact.

Yun Jing murmured: "Since there is no business in the store, let's temporarily close it. Firstly, it's useless to waste time. Besides, the closure of our jewelry store will not have any impact on the market. After all, what people care about is food."

"Well, I listen to the officials, but the officials, if the shop is closed, I will be free." Bai Zhi nodded and said, and immediately became a little entangled, she was not used to doing nothing.

Yun Jing thought for a while and said: "If you have nothing to do, improve your cultivation level more. If you have free time, go to the mountains to take care of the food you grow."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's heart twitched. You must know that Yunjing didn't care much about martial arts cultivation in the past, but now he took the initiative to mention that he would improve his cultivation. Thinking of the current situation, Bai Zhi understood, and said: "Officer, concubine The body can attack the innate realm at any time."

"Don't worry, cultivation is not strength, it's better to fight steadily," Yun Jing said with a smile.

After doing some household chores and eating and drinking enough, Yun Jing said: "By the way, Xiaobai, I plan to go out for my husband. If it is soon, I will come back in the afternoon, and if it is slow, it will be three to five days, one to two months."

"The official is going to go far away?" Bai Zhi paused when she heard this, a little worried and very reluctant.

Yun Jing calmly said: "It's not a long trip, Xiaobai, don't you know what your husband is, the world is just a short distance away to me?"

"That's true, but do officials need to accompany me as a concubine so that I can take care of you conveniently," Bai Zhi hesitated.

Thinking of where he was going, even though it wasn't dangerous, he still needed to concentrate and have no time to be distracted. Bai Zhi might be bored if he went, so Yun Jing said: "No need to go with you, Xiaobai, just stay at home and wait for your husband to come back."

Although she was reluctant, Bai Zhi still said obediently: "If that's the case, then during this period of time, I will close the shop and go to the mountains to concentrate on cultivation."

"Well, it's okay, let's go and see more at home..."

I'm going on a long trip, and I don't know when I'll be back. Yun Jing reminded Bai Zhi so that she wouldn't worry. He had already greeted her at home, but Lin Xingyu also wanted to inform her. After all, the two are close now. After not seeing anyone for a long time, she will inevitably worry or think too much.

After the discussion, Yunjing separated from him and went to the town to look for Song Yan. After all, he didn't know when he would return, and some things still needed to be arranged, such as the contact of the grain transported from the capital, and the complete transportation from the village. Questions and more.

After Yunjing left, Bai Zhi returned to the bedroom, feeling a little empty in her heart, took out a small bundle from the cabinet, opened it, and inside were several pairs of stockings as thin as cicada's wings, both black and white.

The stockings that Yunjing told her about that time, she has always kept in her heart, and quietly prepared, she originally wanted to find a chance to wear them for Yunjing to see, but before Yunjing had time, she was about to leave for a long trip with an uncertain return date .

"Next time, it will be a long time anyway", Bai Zhi murmured, looking at the socks in her hands, she also blushed a little and put them away immediately...

It didn't take long for Yun Jing to come to the Liuye Sword Sect. After sweeping his thoughts, he found that Lin Xingyu was not in the sect. According to the collected information, Lin Xingyu took people to the border between the south of Xinlin County and Lin County early in the morning. place.

The specific reason Yun Jing didn't know for a while, and he didn't meet the people of the current Liuye Sword Sect, so he flew directly in that direction.

Today, the three former forces in Xinlin County have merged into one, led by the original Liuye Sword Sect, and divided into three halls. There are many industries under its banner, and it is developing in a prosperous direction.

It's funny to say that under the drought, the more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it is for the development of the forces in the world. For example, it is easier to recruit disciples. Those big and wealthy families want to send their children here for the sake of stability. For example, many merchants with ordinary business dare not leave, but people in the rivers and lakes can take risks by relying on force.

In short, dangers and opportunities coexist, as long as you have the means and brains, it is still very simple to gain benefits in the chaos.

With the support of Yunjing in arranging the spirit-gathering array and giving cheats, in just a few months, Lin Xingyu has entered the late stage of Houtian, and his strength is already worthy of the name in the small rivers and lakes of Xinlin County. Don't accept her.

But Lin Xingyu did not take over the current head of the sect because of her strength. Even if the voice was very loud, she was still young and had plenty of time, and the elders were still there. Zu thing.

All in all, it's only a matter of time before she takes full control of the sect, and it's easier now that she doesn't have to worry about everything.

It is worth mentioning that although Yunjing has never asked anything about this sect, in view of the relationship between the two, Lin Xingyu has been affected more or less subtly, those original casino brothels and some shady industries They are all abandoning and staying away, and the current Willow Leaf Sword Sect is developing towards the famous sect.

Now the Jianghu forces in Xinlin County have been built into one piece, outsiders can't get in, and those abandoned gray industries are not afraid of others to take advantage of them.

Of course, there are some things that need to exist if the market needs them. If they are completely gone, there will be bad situations. Although the Willow Leaf Sword Sect will be removed to draw a clear line, those operators still understand the rules and tacitly understand it. Jianghu, to put it bluntly, pays attention to human relationships and sophistication.

After a while, Yunjing arrived at the place where Lin Xingyu was located, at the junction of Xinlin County and Lin County.

There are many mountains and few forests here, and the long-term drought has made the surrounding area look a bit barren. A loess official road connects the two counties.

When Yunjing arrived, he found that a chaotic fight was going on here, with swords, lights and swords coming and going endlessly.

With a glance at Yunjing, he had a panoramic view of the situation here, and quickly analyzed why such a thing happened.

The chaotic fight was divided into three forces. One was a caravan, with dozens of horse-drawn carts and ox carts pulling goods such as food and medicinal materials. This caravan had forty or fifty guards. The most powerful ones were only cultivated in the middle stage of the day after tomorrow. They gathered the convoy together and guarded the goods to resist the enemy's impact and invasion. The situation was not considered a crisis.

The other two groups of people, one of them was all dressed in black, their heads were tightly covered, and they were not afraid of getting prickly heat on a hot day. This group of about a hundred people was obviously well-trained. Although it is not the order and prohibition like the army, but the advance and retreat are quite methodical.

The men in black are the attackers. Their purpose is very clear. They are going for that batch of goods. They are not like thieves and gangsters who robbed houses, but more like masked robbers of Jianghu sects. It is not surprising that the forces are desperate.

This group of men in black wields knives, and their knives are extremely powerful. Especially when they cooperate with each other, their strength is multiplied. There are three late-stage Houtians leading the team!
The last force is the Liuye Sword Sect led by Lin Xingyu. They are all wearing green clothes and wielding swords. They are obviously Lin Xingyu's confidantes.

There are not many of them, only 20 people, and only Lin Xingyu is the late day after tomorrow. With such an absolute disadvantage in numbers, under the leadership of Lin Xingyu, they are actually evenly matched against the hundred and ten men in black. , and even vaguely still have the upper hand!
The guards of the caravan guarded the goods and rarely participated in the battle to prevent the men in black from attacking the goods. It was the Willow Leaf Sword Sect and the men in black who mainly fought.

In the chaotic scene, there were already mutual casualties. Twenty or thirty people died, most of them were men in black and caravan guards.

The Willow Leaf Sword Sect was able to gain the upper hand, and Lin Xingyu played a vital role in resisting the opponent's three Houtian late stages alone. Although they were small in number, their swordsmanship was exquisite, which offset the gap in numbers.

From the occasional conversations between them during the fight, Yun Jing quickly learned that the goods were going to be transported to Xinlin County from other places, but they were robbed by men in black. This happened only when the team came.

Caravans asking for help from the Willow Leaf Sword Sect must pay for it. The Willow Leaf Sword Sect cannot help in vain. This is also one of the sources of income for a sect. Another thing is that the sect needs to develop and maintain peace on the site, which is also to expand its influence One of the ways of strength.

With a panoramic view of the situation, Yun Jingyin was hidden in the dark and had no intention of participating. Firstly, this was a matter of the world, and secondly, Lin Xingyu and the others had the upper hand, and it would be a matter of time before they repelled those men in black.

The road of rivers and lakes is created by swords, lights, swords and shadows, rather than relying on anyone's help. Lin Xingyu chooses this road, and will face more situations in the future. It is impossible for Yunjing to protect her all the time. She has to grow up. You have to face these.

Of course, Yun Jing didn't ignore her and gave her the means to save her life. It was invited from a eunuch of the True Art Realm in the Princess Mansion. For the current situation she can be involved in, such means of saving her life are more than sufficient.

The chaotic fight below continued. Lin Xingyu had the upper hand against the three warriors of the same level with one against three, and even fought against them. The extremely cold long sword in his hand made the opponent dare not shake it. The sharp edge, the sword edge passing by, cut off the weapon in an enemy's hand with a ding, and waved the sword again, with a puff, an arm was chopped off, and the frost condensed at the fracture without blood.

Lin Xingyu, who holds a magic weapon, can be said to be even more powerful in a battle of the same level. With one enemy, even if the strength is slightly weaker, the weapon can far make up for the deficiency.

No one is a fool. Seeing that the men in black couldn't attack for a long time, especially the leader with a broken arm, the members of the Willow Leaf Sword Sect became more and more courageous as they fought. Multiple bodies.

The world is like this, swords and swords will inevitably lead to casualties, but when it's time to be cowardly, you have to accept the reality of your relatives.

There is a saying that poor gangsters should not be chased. Lin Xingyu stopped the disciples from continuing to chase. After all, it is not a situation of endless death. I already understand the origin of the man in black in my heart, and I will face it again in the future. Now it is just the first contact. , It's not the time for a full-scale war. If the Willow Leaf Sword Sect wants to develop, there will be no shortage of such things in the future.

The invading enemy was repulsed, and they immediately counted the casualties. The people of the Willow Leaf Sword Sect were okay, a few people were injured but no deaths occurred, but the situation of the caravan was not optimistic. More than ten people died indivual.

The person in charge of the caravan was naturally grateful, and Lin Xingyu accepted it calmly. After all, if it weren't for them, the caravan would not only be able to keep the goods, but also whether the people would survive.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Xingyu, who was in charge, offered to escort the caravan to Xinlin County. Her decision was something the caravan could only wish for.

After the matter here was over and the caravan set off again, Yunjing met Lin Xingyu alone through voice transmission. The relationship between the two is a matter between the two. If it is not necessary, Yunjing does not want to get involved with people in the world. too much.

Hearing Yunjing's voice, Lin Xingyu was very happy unexpectedly, and let the others go first, and then she went to meet Yunjing.

"Xiaojing, why are you here?" Lin Xingyu said pleasantly after meeting, and threw himself into Yunjing's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, without the slightest murderous look before.

Yun Jing hugged her waist and said with a smile: "I came here specially to look for you. I went to the Willow Leaf Sword Sect before. You were not here, so I just 'inquired' after hearing the news."

Lin Xingyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, his cheeks flushed slightly, thinking that the two sides hadn't seen each other for several days, it was Yunjing who thought...

So he lowered his head and said, "Xiaojing, it's still daytime."

Seeing her appearance, Yun Jing knew what she was thinking, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister Xingyu, what are you thinking, am I like that in broad daylight?"

"Everyone calls me Xingyu, and, I don't know you yet, have you forgotten about it at noon a few times?" Lin Xingyu said mercilessly.

Yun Jing said without blushing, "We are discussing the true meaning of life with each other. That is a university question. It can be done at any time. This is the way of human relations."

Hammering Yunjing lightly with his small fist, Lin Xingyu blushed and said speechlessly, "Such a thing is actually justified by Xiaojing, he is shameless, he is really thick-skinned, and he is still a scholar."

"But what I said is also the truth. Scholars are also human beings, and it is only natural for two people to be in harmony with each other and practice the great courtesy of human relations." Yun Jing continued to speak confidently.

Lin Xingyu couldn't talk to him, so he could only twitch and say: "Xiaojing is always right, but you can't talk to you, right, Xiaojing, you haven't said what you want from me, if... If so, find a remote place to work with you that's it"

Said a little emotionally, but Lin Xingyu had just experienced a fight not long ago, besides, jokes are jokes, Yun Jing didn't come to her for that, so he said: "I came to you this time because I wanted to I went out for a trip, and the return date is uncertain, maybe a day or two, maybe two or three months, I'm here to tell you, so that you don't worry about it."

"Where are you going, Xiaojing?" Lin Xingyu immediately asked in a daze.
