Chapter 271 The General’s Wife’s Love is Boundless.
At night, Ye Jiu piloted an aircraft carrier along the Moyun Mountain on the border of Dayu to search for rare materials for making talismans. Suddenly, she saw through the telescope that there were many people from the Tianyao Dynasty climbing up the foot of Moyun Mountain, and some of them had already climbed to the mountainside.
Moyun Mountain lies between Dayu and its neighboring countries, and now they are almost reaching Dayu's territory.
Ye Jiu was puzzled and flew the aircraft carrier stealthily over the Tianyao Dynasty. Only then did she understand that the people of Tianyao were fleeing to the border because of the drought.
She frowned and thought for a long time. Ye Jiu flew the ship around Tianyao at a low altitude. She saw that many corrupt officials of Tianyao were still abusing their power and pursuing pleasure in the capital.
The general's wife changed into a black nightgown and covered her face with a black scarf. Within a few hours, Ye Jiu quickly put the grain, vegetables, cattle, sheep and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the villages of the ten corrupt officials into the Jinluan space.
She went to another big state called Tianyao and bought a lot of food that could be eaten temporarily, as well as a lot of dried vegetables and dried meat.
Ye Jiu drained the clean water from three large lakes until it was almost dry. She went directly to a secluded place in Moyun Mountain and used her earth-based abilities to dig a huge pit in the ground. She then used her abilities to solidify the pit walls and bottom, making these places as strong and safe as waterproof stainless steel products.
After Ye Jiu finished all this, he diverted the lake water from the space and poured it into the pit. He also planted some tree species from the space on the shore. In addition to willow trees, there were also several pear trees with yellow fruits and red fruit trees as big as fists.
The general's wife chose three places in a row to dig pits, all of which were within the territory of Tianyao.
When some people who fled famine later saw the sparkling lake, they cheered with joy. They crawled to the lakeside, some used buckets to draw water, and some drank the water directly with their hands.
"Erya, be careful, don't fall into the water. Daya, quickly hold on to your sister."
The middle-aged woman in gray clothes, who was running and sweating all over, shouted urgently to her eldest daughter by the lake.
The boy behind her put down the heavy backpack and walked quickly to the water's edge.
Lu Huai, his face covered in sweat, lay down by the water. He immersed his entire head in the water for a few seconds. The cool lake water instantly dissipated the heat from his body. After a few seconds, Lu Huai raised his head, which was covered in splashing water.
His tangled hair was dotted with glistening water droplets, his deep tan skin shone with moisture, his frizzy sword-like eyebrows smoothed out by the water's leisurely flow, and his upturned peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with stars in the sky...
Lu Huai reached out and took off the large yellow gourd tied around his waist. He bent down and half-knelt by the water's edge to fill a gourd with water. Then he returned to the middle-aged woman who was sitting there panting with exhaustion. He handed the gourd to his mother and said,
"Mom, drink some water..."
Lu Huai went to the pear tree nearest to the shore and picked a dozen large yellow pears with his clothes. His hungry stomach kept rumbling.
"Huai'er, go and bring Erya back."
The woman was worried that her little girl might fall into the water, so she asked her son to go and hold the little girl.
Daya was washing herself by the water. She kept staring at her sister out of the corner of her eyes while quickly washing her hair. Without soap nuts, she could only wash it with clean water to remove the sweat. The girl's skinny face was obviously lacking in nutrition.
The people in the valley had already found the large pile of food and dried meat that Ye Jiu had placed there in advance. They thought it was a god, and everyone happily distributed the precious food from house to house.
Piles of bright fires gradually lit up, and the aroma of rice porridge and roasted dried meat drifted far away. Even Lu Huai's family was given wheat, brown rice and dried meat.
That night, the people of Tianyao who fled had a rare peaceful sleep.
