"As ordered."

Riyoushen bowed and watched Li Sanhua disappear into the temple as a golden light.

........

On the high-speed train from Luoshui City to Datong City, Qian Duoduo was sitting by the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, with a deep sadness on his face.

With the continuous advancement of the high-speed rail, it has entered the boundary of Guanlan City.

Soon, Qian Duoduo noticed that there was an orchard outside the window, but the fruit on the tree was much less than before, sparse and not very good. This scene made Qian Duoduo more panicked.

Most of their orchards are contracted, and the rent is paid annually.

After discussing with his mother last year, he borrowed 400,000 yuan from the bank and contracted hundreds of acres of orchards.

It's a pity, no one thought that this year will meet the year, and the drought will be fruitless.

Now all the money of 400,000 yuan has been spent, and the labor and agricultural materials are the bulk. These hundreds of thousands are like a boulder that weighs heavily on Qian Duoduo's heart.

Families with a lot of money are not too rich, but they are well-off. When their family encountered such a situation this year, these hundreds of thousands have become a roadblock. If the harvest is sluggish, what will they face then?

Mortgage the house, car, and then go for a loan? And then repay the loan with the loan?

But within the next year? I have to spend money again next year, what should I do?

"It's really like what someone said here. There are cracked land everywhere. It seems that the drought this year is quite serious..."

Just as Qian Duoduo was thinking about it, a sigh came from the side.

Qian Duoduo followed the source of the voice, it was a young man with curly hair, about the same age as him.

"Yes." Qian Duoduo looked blank, nodded and said, "It hasn't rained for several months this year, and the sun is shining on the land every day. If it weren't for the support of the agricultural policy, the government would have paid for the digging of a lot of water sources. It is estimated that this is the case. would be worse..."

Hearing what Qian Duoduo said in such detail, the curly-haired young man was taken aback, "My friend, I didn't expect you to understand so clearly. Are you a native of Datong City?"

"Well, that's right, my home is at the junction of Datong City and Guanlan City, in Datong City."

"No wonder..." The curly-haired youth was thoughtful. Ever since he entered Guanlan City, he noticed that Qian Duoduo by the window next to him had been staring out of the window, and he was still wondering if this buddy had encountered any difficulties.

Looking at his blank expression, he looks like someone who has suffered a blow.

After chatting a few words with Qian Duoduo, the curly-haired youth knew why Qian Duoduo was like this.

The curly-haired youth looked at Qian Duoduo and said with a smile, "My friend, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky and good fortune and good fortune. There are no flowers for a hundred days, but no red mountains for a hundred days. Everything will be fine. I believe it will be better in the coming year. ."

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo knew that it was the curly-haired youth who was comforting him, so he handed a smile, "Thank you, I hope next year will be as you said."

Next, Qian Duoduo continued to chat with the curly-haired young man from all over the world. Of course, Qian Duoduo did not forget to sell his fruits to him. Their home also opened an online store. .

Half an hour later, the high-speed train entered the station.

"Brother, when I arrive at the station, I'll leave first, and see you again if I have a chance!" Qian Duoduo picked up his package and greeted the curly-haired youth.

"Well, definitely!"

"it is good."

Qian Duoduo said goodbye to the curly-haired youth, and felt a little better in his heart. This journey was considered a friend.

After leaving the station, Qian Duoduo walked to the bus stop. After changing several buses, in more than 40 minutes, Qian Duoduo had seen his hometown getting closer.

Outside the window, on the side of the road, is a large orchard, and there is a village with smoke curling in the distance. You can see a row of residential areas sitting there. That is where Qian Duoduo is located, called Qingmu Town.

The main economic crops in Qingmu Town are fruits and vegetables. The people here are all fruit and vegetable farmers. It is one of the famous fruit and vegetable bases in Datong City.

After getting out of the car, Qian Duoduo was walking on the country road with his bag on his back. Qian Duoduo saw the uncle of the farmer working in the roadside orchard, and he politely greeted a few of them he knew well.

While walking, Qian Duoduo noticed a fruit tree full of kumquats.

On it, there are only scattered small kumquats, and the number is 30% less than in previous years.

Picking one at random and rubbing it lightly, Qian Duoduo could clearly feel that the small kumquat was not very full, and the moisture was much worse than in previous years. He turned his eyes and looked at the land under the tree again.

There, there are cobweb-like cracks and a lot of air-dried soil and fine sand.

According to common sense, whether it is a fruit tree or an ordinary tree, the soil around the root of the tree is very strong, because there is water vapor, and the tree itself will involve the water vapor in the soil, and it will not cause the surrounding land to crack. situation, and this year, it is everywhere, under every fruit tree.

This is a clear symptom of drought, more serious than what Qian Duoduo saw last time he went home.

"If this goes on like this, Qingmu Town will no longer be the home of melons and fruits..." Qian Duoduo looked at the ground beneath his feet and whispered.

Qingmu Town relies on fruits and vegetables to make a living. If this continues, the economy will decline sharply. As for the lives of the people...

Qian Duoduo couldn't imagine, for fear that countless people in Qingmu Town would have to leave their hometowns and go out to work because of this.

"Duoduo?" Just as Qian Duoduo was thinking, a middle-aged man's voice came, as if he had smoked too much and was a little hoarse.

Qian Duoduo turned his head and saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing a gray coat, short hair, and a beard, walking in his direction.

"Uncle Dayong?" Looking at this slightly sloppy middle-aged man and his hoarse voice, Qian Duoduo overlapped with a figure in his mind for a while, and he spoke uncertainly.

After Dayong came over, Qian Duoduo took a second look and determined that this slightly sloppy middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life was Uncle Dayong. He had a good relationship with his parents and used to visit often.

Qian Duoduo was a little shocked.

In his memory, Uncle Dayong was very capable, and he was two years younger than his father. He usually cleaned up well when he went out, and even when he went to work in the field, he gave people a very energetic look, but he didn't expect to see him for a few months. , This Uncle Dayong not only has a little gray hair, but even his beard is full of cheeks, and the whole person's expression is not as good as before.

"This child, don't you recognize your Uncle Dayong?" Gu Dayong smiled lightly, took out a box of cheap cigarettes from his jacket pocket, lit it, took a breath, and then coughed twice.
