Chapter 2555: Chapter 2555: How Did They Leave?
“From now on, don’t plant melons, plant more Jade Spirit Fruits,” she said.
The Jade Spirit Fruit is a type of fruit she obtained from a plane she visited before. It sounds quite spiritual and seems like a must-have for cultivation, but in fact, this fruit is of no use to cultivation.
The Jade Spirit Fruit is actually a very juicy fruit, with a water content reaching ninety-eight percent.
Moreover, the Jade Spirit Fruits are very large. One Jade Spirit Fruit is enough for a family’s daily water intake. Once this batch is planted, it will be just in time to distribute to everyone when they reach Xiang City.
“All the lands, except for those used to grow medicinal herbs, should be planted with Jade Spirit Fruits. Don’t plant grains for now,” she instructed.
“Alright, the next batch will be Jade Spirit Fruits,” Wei Na responded.
The production time for Jade Spirit Fruits is quite short. From here to the Northern Lands, it takes about ten days, which is enough to plant two batches of Jade Spirit Fruits.
“Master, there’s a lot of water here. Should we transport it to the Northern Lands?” he asked.
An Jiuyue thought for a moment but then shook her head.
Transporting water from south to north is not a solution. The key is for the Northern Lands to develop their self-reliance. This time they can overcome it, but in the future, it will be up to the efforts of the Northern Lands’ people.
If they work hard to dig channels and build canals, I believe that even with future droughts, they won’t be helpless.
I will provide them with some drought-resistant crops, which they can widely cultivate in the Northern Lands in the future, so they won’t be faced with widespread famine even when there is little rain.
“The South-to-North Water Diversion is a huge project, and relying solely on my space is not enough. Can’t possibly expect me to deliver relief to the people after every drought. They must rely on themselves,” she said.
Wei Na paused and nodded, “That’s true.”
…
The next day, An Jiuyue and her group left, leaving only a Paper Person to guard the treehouse.
Everyone else, including the secret guards, withdrew completely.
When An Que forcibly pulled the Old Patriarch along to visit, there was no one left. An Que couldn’t believe everyone had left and made a fuss with the Paper Person, only to be knocked down to the ground.
“I told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen. What can I say to you?” The Old Patriarch looked at An Que sitting on the ground with a bewildered expression and shook his head, sighing.
A promising scholar, yet he insists on courting disaster repeatedly. The Old Patriarch felt exhausted just thinking on behalf of An Que.
If he could stay grounded and pragmatic, how did he end up in this predicament? All brought upon himself. Becoming a scholar wasn’t enough; he even desired to marry the Princess of the Third Rank.
He should take a good look at his own status and the people in his home. Would the Princess even consider his family?
“How could they… how could they have left?”
An Que was dumbfounded, having painstakingly begged the Clan Leader to come, yet the people had already left before he could even see them?
What did Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang mean by this? Did they come specifically to trouble him? Now that he’s no longer a scholar, and his family has fallen from grace, did they achieve their purpose and then leave?
“Sigh!”
The Old Patriarch sighed once more.
For An Que, he didn’t feel an ounce of pity. After all, he had witnessed and remembered An Que’s actions over the years.
Moreover…
Previously, An Jiuyue had already sent someone to see him, giving him one thousand taels of Silver, indicating it was for the village. From that time, he knew An Jiuyue and her group would leave.
