Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2564: Chapter 2564: Who Should We Try to Pry Information From?

“Does it snow in the Northern Lands during winter? Does it freeze during the coldest times?” An Jiuyue asked again.

“Yes, it does.”

The soldier leader nodded.

How could it not snow and freeze here? This is the Northern Lands, and it gets really cold in winter, the chilly winds are truly biting.

“From November, it starts to freeze. In years with a lot of rainfall, the ice can be really thick. It’s only during great droughts that there is no rain in winter, and thus no ice.”

An Jiuyue asked many more questions about the Northern Lands, and only then did she understand that the Northern Lands aren’t always without water. In years of ample rainfall, there is plenty.

There are good years too, but it seems like this place is cursed, with a severe drought every few years.

…

Elsewhere, Qian Jiyun arrived at the well where people were queuing for water, carrying the little baby.

“Daddy, the queue here is so long, I can’t see the end at all.” Qian Yinuo, held by his father, placed his small hands over his eyes, trying to see into the distance but saw no end.

“So many people, and the wooden barrels are so big. Daddy, let’s go and see how long the queue really is.”

“Don’t move!”

Qian Jiyun reached out and left a smack on the little baby’s wiggling bottom.

“Behave yourself, daddy will hold you to see.”

The place they arrived at was not only filled with people queuing for water but also others waiting nearby.

He guessed that these people were accompanying their family members. After all, the water here was precious. If it spilled, it would be unacceptable, so another person was needed to carry it or to guard it.

“Hurry up, hurry up.”

The little baby was obviously very eager, wanting to see where the queue ended.

The queue was indeed too long; he had never seen such a long line in his life, although he hadn’t lived that many years yet.

“Daddy, who are we looking to talk to? There are so many people here.”

Qian Jiyun: “…”

He suspected that his son insisted on coming just to witness the spectacle.

Not just to talk; he was conducting a sincere exchange, not simply gathering information. Guangye City was already like this, so what was there to gather?

However, whether to gather or not, he did not know, but he clearly saw a large sign standing conspicuously outside the queue.

It was a sign offering to buy grain at a high price.

“Buying grain, even here.”

“What? Daddy, what is buying grain?”

The little baby, hearing his father’s voice, followed Qian Jiyun’s gaze and saw the sign not far away, along with a few people sitting behind it.

“They really are buying grain. Daddy, they’re buying grain. Do people actually want to sell grain?”

He saw people walking towards the grain buyers, clearly intending to sell grain. In a drought, shouldn’t the people be storing grain?

Why would they want to sell it now?

Suddenly, he noticed a sealed large wooden barrel behind the grain buyers and understood what was happening.

“Dad, are those wooden barrels filled with water? Are they exchanging water for grain?”

Qian Jiyun had already seen those wooden barrels long ago. He had anticipated the water-for-grain transaction. His eyes darkened, and if he weren’t afraid of alerting the culprits, he would have wanted to chop up those scoundrels directly.
