Chapter 256: Severe Drought, Water Scarcity_1

256

Thanks to the water source, Qijia Village was brimming with joy.

However, other areas weren't as fortunate; even the wells in Hujia Village, the closest to Qijia Village, ran dry.

Ty County was hit by a severe drought this year, and that had become a certainty.

But when the people of Hujia Village heard that Qijia Village still had water, they flocked over to fetch it.

Village Chief Qi was troubled—if he didn't let these people fetch water, they would have none to drink. They were all folks from neighboring villages, and it was hard to turn them away. But if he agreed, then there wouldn't be enough water for Qijia Village, and the fields desperately needed irrigation!

Village Chief Qi had already arranged for someone to watch over the place, temporarily preventing people from other villages from fetching water.

With the situation being so dire, Village Chief Qi called for a meeting with the village officials.
