Xiaoxiao had long changed the green beans she bought into space products when no one was paying attention. The beans were round and plump, and the green bean soup that was cooked was sweet and dense. The big pot containing the summer soup had been placed on ice to chill it. When it entered their mouths, it was refreshing and instantly chased away the summer heat.
There were so many commoners who were conscripted to serve. It was impossible for the county office to let the Ning Family handle all the matters with just three people. Hence, they specially found some refugees to help. When Chen Kuan and Wang He heard the news, they signed up first and helped Xiaoxiao distribute one bamboo tube after one bamboo tube of mung bean soup to the commoners on their way.
The commoners drank as they walked. It did not delay their schedule. When they were a little tired, they would see familiar carriages passing by them. It was the young lady who was distributing the mung bean soup. They had to go to the front to prepare for the next round of distribution.
Xiaoxiao and the rest had prepared a few carriages. Some had charcoal stoves to stew mung bean soup, and some were to transport ice cubes. Xiaoxiao was resting in the one that was specially for her.
Actually, with the existence of the space cheat at night, she had already rested enough. However, her mother and second brother felt sorry for her, so she closed her eyes to rest. She asked: [Baby, what’s your score?]
The space was very happy: [Master, Master, it’s already 150,000 yuan! Do you want to level up?]
Xiaoxiao nodded. [Go ahead.]
The space was originally worried that Xiaoxiao still wanted to exchange for something, so it did not say anything. Now that it got her permission, it happily announced—
[Upgrade successful. Current space level: Nine.]
[The time flow in the farmland has increased. The current time flow is nine times faster!]
[The time flow in the ranch has increased. The current speed is nine times!]
[The time flow in the water body has increased. The current speed is nine times!]
[Time Hut’s current adjustable speed is plus or minus nine times!]
[Range Control ability upgraded!]
[New function obtained: Spatial projection. The projection range is 9×9.]
[You have obtained one seed for the upgrade reward. Current total points are 52,800.]
It was unknown when, but Xiaoxiao really fell asleep under the steady bump.
In her sleep, she saw the Luo Prefecture’s dam collapse in the heavy rain. The flood destroyed countless villages and fields along the shore. The people along the Dusk River were in misery and wailing. The commoners had lost their loved ones and hometown. They closed their turbid eyes in pain and despair.
As for those who were unwilling to submit to fate, they picked up the clubs and iron weapons in their hands, causing more chaos and taking away more innocent lives…
After waking up, Xiaoxiao broke out in cold sweat. She lifted the curtain and looked at the overly warm sunlight outside the window.
In her dream, it rained consecutively after the sun rose. However, the counties and towns in her dream did not have any protection. There were no canals, no government notice, and no sudden conscription.
Hopefully, it was just a nightmare that would never happen. Lord Chen, County Magistrate Shen, and Little Big Brother had already made preparations. Things would definitely not develop to that extent.
When Chen Yong arrived at the government office of Luo Prefecture, he didn’t care about the servants and soldiers’ non-violent but uncooperative attitudes. He didn’t care that others criticized him for making things difficult for him. He dealt with a few troublesome stewards quickly and used the people he borrowed from County Magistrate Shen and Rong Yan to fill the vacancy. Then, he rushed to the dam himself.
It was true that Yan Lu was a corrupt official, but he was not brainless. He knew that letting the dam collapse would affect his career as an official, so he did some simple measures.
With County Magistrate Shen’s support and Rong Yan’s secret preparations, Chen Yong didn’t lack manpower or money. He didn’t even have time to eat. He quickly announced that Luo Prefecture was in an emergency..
