I didn't intend to be a Fairy

In the Shadu area, countless people walked out of their homes. Even though it was freezing outside and the north wind was biting, they still didn't care. They just raised their heads and looked at the ink-like dark clouds above their heads, with flying catkins all over the sky.

Although the snow is cold, it is full of life when it falls on the ground.

I don’t know how many people cheered and how many shed tears.

"Snowing!"

"God opens your eyes!"

"Why don't you come a day earlier?"

"Father should hold on for two more days..."

"Brother Chang! It's snowing!"

Some people's lips and cheeks were already dry and cracked, with muscle texture and half-dried blood even showing, and the eyes that had been cloudy for a long time finally lit up.

He even simply raised his head high and opened his mouth wide, trying to catch the snow at this time, his eyes reflected the flying flowers in the sky.

Or as soon as the snowflakes fell to the ground, regardless of whether they were dusty or not, they quickly picked them up and stuffed them into their mouths, fearing that the snow would only fall for this moment and be gone one step later.

A business traveler had fallen halfway on the road. When his consciousness was blurred, his body was alternately cold and hot, but he felt cold moisture falling on his face. He used his last effort to open his eyes, and what he saw was exactly I dreamed and fantasized about this scene countless times in a daze.

For a moment, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

There are also people who are crying and upset because their beloved relatives and friends died on the eve of life, and they are dreaming about this scene before they die.

A wild donkey in the Gobi lies on the ground, looking up at the sky.

The scorpion came out of the cave and stood on the sand, using its body to welcome the aura and heavy snow.

The cold wind blows, and the sky and the earth are turbid.

Even the ghosts from Fengzhou were passing by and couldn't help but stop when they saw this scene. Even the local monsters or gods couldn't help but show up and watch quietly when they saw this scene. Feeling the amazing aura and vitality in the vast world, I seem to have a feeling in my heart——

This is not a celestial phenomenon, but a miracle.

The heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, sometimes getting heavy and sometimes light, but never stopping, covering the entire land.

The hills in the desert and the undulations on the Gobi were originally extremely slow waves in the long geological time. Now they have been covered with heavy snow, and the whole has turned into a sea of ​​ice and snow.

It was not until three days later that the wind and the sun pushed aside the dark clouds, and the bright sunshine shone on the earth. The ice and snow began to slowly melt, melting into the desert that was already extremely thirsty, and gathered into streams along the ravines, and the long-lost song rang out in the desert. The sound of gurgling water is a natural beating note.

The water level of the medicine spring rose rapidly, and in one day, it returned to the normal water level of previous years.

It really nourishes the earth and nourishes all things.

Song You took the calico cat, bay horse and swallow back to Shadu City, found an empty house, buried the bones of the original owner, and stayed here.

When I first came to Shadu, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival. By the time the spirits gathered in the mountains to rain, it was already late autumn. It was already the dead of winter, and the desert was already too cold to travel. Even the most daring business travelers could not. It has stopped, and the once bustling business road has become empty. Anyway, it was not long before the new year, so Song You simply took a break and stopped in Shadu to observe the subsequent climate changes and the impact of this man-made rain and snow on the local area.

It’s pretty much what Song You expected——

This man-made rain and snow not only replenished some water for the desert, but also replenished some water aura for the whole world. If the Shadu area can regain its faith in Humu Daxian at this time, Humu Daxian will be here. The statues and divine powers around him were restored, and there was room for them to use their magical powers.

It’s just that there are too many people in Shazhou.

This is the general trend of the earth, a natural evolution, and it is destined to change. It cannot be changed by human or divine power. This rain and snow will only be a drop in the bucket.

No matter how Hu Mu Daxian adjusts the situation, the water will not be enough for the people of Shazhou.

There are not even enough people in the Shadu area.

It can only achieve some of the effects that Hu Mu Daxian said before, which is to give the local people a chance to breathe and give them the opportunity to move away from here and find another way out. If we don't find a way out, as he said, nature will drive people away in its own way. It's just that it will be a tragic and painful process.

…

In the spring of the twelfth year of Mingde.

It should no longer be called Mingde.

According to Dayan tradition, the new emperor will only use the reign name of the previous emperor for one year after he succeeds to the throne. After one year, the new emperor will change his reign name.

The governor of Shazhou came to visit Song You with heavy gifts, and then told him: "Yesterday, a letter came from the court. Your Majesty has changed the reign name to 'Da'an', which means the world is prosperous and stable."

"Da'an."

"yes……"

Zhang Zhizhou paused for a moment and then said quickly: "Thanks to sir, the DPRK has agreed to move some people from Shazhou to Yuezhou from Jingyanzhou. This is a real chance for the people of Shazhou to survive."

Shazhou is actually not that far from Yuezhou.

Yanzhou in the north is a long strip, bordering Longzhou, Shazhou and the Western Regions. Going north from Shazhou is the western part of Yanzhou. Going from west to east is a process from the Gobi desert to the grassland. Yanzhou's To the east is Yuezhou. Yuezhou has a good climate but is short of people.

But Zhang Zhizhou knew it well——

As an important channel for Dayan to connect to the Western Regions, Shazhou is also the last node. It has had an extremely important position since ancient times. If Dayan wants to control the Western Regions, it must pass here. Similarly, if there is a strong enemy from the Western Regions who wants to come in, it will Must go from here. The imperial court actually needs the people to consolidate its rule here.

In addition, the central government did not know how serious the severe drought in the northwest last year was. If he had submitted such a letter so rashly, it would have been very difficult for him to be trusted and approved if he had not mentioned this person's name.

"When will it start?"

"Spring has begun now. It will take a long time to inform the counties and counties, inform the people and move to Yuezhou. I want to arrange it as soon as possible. In this case, we may be able to catch up with this year's spring plowing." Zhang Zhizhou paused as he spoke, " Although the government and the court will allocate food relief, after all, there are so many people, which is not a small number."

"It's hard work to know the state."

"It's all thanks to my husband. The heavy snowfall last month saved so many people in Shazhou." Zhang Zhizhou said respectfully. He was also in the city that day. Not only did he see the snow falling all over the sky with his own eyes, but he also saw The pillars of light soaring into the sky in the distance and the auras swaying in the sky. When I think about it now, I am still amazed and sighing in my eyes. I just feel that it is a miracle. "If it hadn't been for Mr.'s magical power, even if the court agreed to relocate, the people of Shazhou would have died at this time." I don’t know how many more.”

Song You listened to his praise, but didn't feel much. He just pursed his lips and said to him: "In that case, the people of Shazhou will bother to know the state, and I will leave soon."

"When will you leave, sir?"

"I'll leave tomorrow." Song You said, handing over to him. "I'm going to continue to the west. There is something I want to find. I heard that the drought in the Western Region is even worse than that in Shazhou, and I want to take a look."

"Sir, your mind has been made up. I don't dare to stay longer." Zhang Zhizhou quickly returned the greeting and said immediately, "The Western Region is very vast, at least equivalent to the land of several states in Dayan. From here, sir, go all the way to the west. After passing the Xifeng Pass, you will reach the Western Region. When I go back today, I will write a document immediately. When the garrison sees the document, I will let you leave."

"Then thank you Zhizhou."

"There are many small countries in the Western Region, and there are four towns in Anxi in Dayan. If you need it, sir, you can also hold the document and go to the commander of the military town. I don't dare to neglect you, sir." Zhang Zhizhou paused as he spoke, "I heard people coming and going in Sha. The merchant messenger in the capital said that after passing Xifeng Pass, two thousand miles are all dry land, and there is even a Flame Mountain. The winter is also very hot, and the flames soar into the sky. Even birds and gods dare not fly over there. But after these two thousand miles, , the climate has become pleasant again, and the Tianshan meadows are rich in water and grass, even known as Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall. However, the further west you go, the more the people there look different from us, and more and more people can speak Dayan dialect. The less you have, if you don't understand the language, you can also bring official documents to find business travelers, or you can go to Dayanjun Town to find someone who can speak the local dialect."

"Zhizhou is interested."

Song You wrote it down and thanked him sincerely.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhizhou said goodbye and left. Not long after, he sent someone to deliver a handwritten document.

Song You also started to pack his luggage.

Although it was still very cold at this time, the north wind had not yet left, and the east wind had not yet arrived, he did not stay too long, and took the calico cat and bay red horse all the way out of the city to the west.

Then pass Yaoquanyi.

The water level of the medicinal spring has dropped slightly, but it is still sufficient. The water plants beside the spring seem to be nourished by spiritual energy. Even before the winter weather fades, a little green appears among the dead leaves.

"There's a rock there!"

The calico cat suddenly turned its head and stared into the distance.

Song You looked along and discovered——

Under the sand mountain where he had been staying for a hundred days, there was a stone tablet, more than a foot high, with three large characters "Snowfall Monument" and two lines of small characters engraved on it.

The calico cat stood up, stood and watched for a moment, then suddenly ran over, took a closer look, and then ran back to inform Song You.

Those two lines of small print read:

In the autumn of the eleventh year of Mingde's reign, there was a severe drought in the northwest. The gods set up an altar here to bring rain and nourish all things.

"..."

Song You shook his head and smiled, without saying much.

Shadu will also start to immigrate to the north.

But I don’t know how future generations will record this climate change that will change the geology of the entire northwest, and how they will record this migration of people in order to cope with the climate and compete with nature.

The Taoist went all the way west.

A continuous khaki-colored Great Wall appeared in the desert, leading all the way to the west, just like a high wall on the earth.

There are often beacon towers, all of which are earthy yellow and have experienced the vicissitudes of time.

Song You walked along without encountering any inspection or questioning until he came to the famous Xifeng Pass, which has appeared in many poems. Looking at this huge and majestic Guan City, the defenders in Guanzhong were not embarrassed at all. Instead, they were respectful to him. They thought that they had already heard about the Taoist’s deeds before he came here——

The people nourished by the heavy snow were not just the common people and business travelers in Shadu, but they were also included.
