Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 178 The Eerie Snowstorm

"Master? I didn't see him."

Chen Qingxuan looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression when Chu Chen asked him the question.

But then he arrogantly retorted, "How could you or I possibly know where Master is?"

Based on his understanding of his master during this period, he guessed that the master was taking advantage of this break.

They've already stumbled into that seaside red romance.

"Alright, the end of the year is approaching, let's pack up and go back to Mashan for the New Year."

After saying that, he placed the teacup face down on the table, turned around, and walked into the villa.

Upon entering the villa, the sharp-eyed Chu Chen noticed a letter on the table.

I picked it up and saw only one sentence: "Boy, treat Xueqin well, this old man is leaving..."

The signature was a large "Zhu Liuxiang".

Chu Chen shook his head after reading it. This grandmaster-level expert really came and went like the wind.

Little did anyone know, Zhu Liuxiang was currently enjoying a leisurely drink at the Linhai Honglang Romance restaurant.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen used a walkie-talkie to call Chu Yi.

He retrieved the grenade launcher and the remaining grenades from his hands.

"Chu Yi, you should stay on Peach Blossom Island. You've grown up and it's time for you to stand on your own."

After hearing this, Chu Yi bowed deeply to Chu Chen: "Thank you for your guidance, young master."

For him, staying on this Peach Blossom Fairy Island was the best option.

That is because Chu Chen trusted him and entrusted him with the management of this island and the Red Romance.

With so much to offer, how could he not be excited?

Finally, I can do my part for the young master.

Chu Chen waved Chu Yi away and strode into the room.

He rubbed his shoulder, which was still sore from the recoil of the gun.

With Chunxiang and Qiuju attending to him, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

The next day, Chu Chen woke up Chen Qingxuan early in the morning using a walkie-talkie.

Still half asleep, Chen Qingxuan carried his steel sword and soon arrived at the entrance to the island.

At this moment, Chu Chen also joined him with Chunxiang and Qiuju.

With the roar of the engine, the four headed towards Qingyun City.

After leaving Chunxiang and Qiuju in Qingyun City.

Chu Chen led Chen Qingxuan back to Mashan Village overnight.

At this moment, snowflakes are falling in Mashan Village, which is quite a beautiful sight.

Upon seeing the two return late at night, Li Qinglian, Mu Xueqin, and Luo Yi immediately came out to greet them.

"My lord, how did the trip to the island go?"

"Don't worry, look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

After saying that, Chu Chen gave Li Qinglian and the other two a big hug.

Chen Qingxuan ignored the four people and walked towards his room.

The air conditioning was on throughout the villa, so it didn't feel particularly cold.

But after sitting in the car all day, even someone as tough as him was exhausted.

After eating a quick bite, Chu Chen led the three of them into the room.

Since the relationship is already public, wouldn't it be warmer for those four people to be asleep?

Perhaps he was too tired, Chu Chen fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

That night, the entire Mashan Village was eerily quiet, with only the soft rustling of falling snow.

Even Big Yellow was puzzled as to why there was no sound coming from the villa.

The next day, Chu Chen stood on the rooftop of the villa, watching the snow fall heavier and heavier, and frowned deeply.

It is said that a timely snowfall foretells a bountiful year, but this snowfall is somewhat unusual.

You should know that Mashan Village is located in this central region, and has never seen such heavy snow before.

So he picked up the two bottles of wine and headed towards Wang Defa's house.

"Uncle Wang, it's been a long time. I've come to see you."

"Hey, Chuwa is back. You're here, and you even brought things. Thanks to you, I have everything I need now."

Despite saying that, Wang Defa's outstretched hand showed no sign of refusal.

Chu Chen didn't care about this, after all, this kind of thing isn't available everywhere.

"I have something to ask Uncle Wang for advice on this trip."

"Oh, what brings you here in person?"

So Chu Chen explained the strange situation of this year's heavy snow.

After listening, Wang Defa put on one of Chu Chenfa's down jackets and walked out of the house with him.

The two walked straight up the back mountain and looked at Mashan Village, which had been covered in white overnight.

Wang Defa also frowned deeply.

“Strange, strange. I’ve lived in Mashan Village all my life and I’ve never seen such heavy snow.”

At this point, Chu Chen became even more puzzled.

If that's really the case, then forget about the saying "auspicious snow foretells a bumper harvest"; next year might even be a year of disaster.

However, no one can say for sure how it happened, since there were no weather forecasts in ancient times.

Chu Chen also lacked the ability to analyze the weather.

But one thing he was very clear about was that he should hurry up and stockpile grain.

Even if next year is a disaster year and there is no harvest.

At the very least, we must ensure that no one in Mashan Village goes hungry.

As for himself, there was absolutely no need to worry, since there were inexhaustible resources in the space.

But we can't just use the resources in the space to give to the whole village.

It's okay once or twice, but it will happen over time.

Even a fool would doubt that Chu Chen possesses unlimited resources.

"Uncle Wang, since that's the case, then tell everyone to hurry up and stockpile grain. If we can plant sweet potatoes next year, we can. If we can't, we won't have to worry about going hungry."

"Okay, the weather is strange, we definitely need to be prepared."

After seeing Wang Defa off, Chu Chen took out his walkie-talkie again.

"Tiger, where are you?"

"Chuwazi? I'm out buying grain. There's still half a cave that hasn't been filled. I contacted a few big grain merchants today to fill the cave."

"Okay, you keep working on it. Remember to hurry up and try to fill the cave before the New Year."

After giving his explanation, Chu Chen went to find his second uncle.

They told him to shut down the salt-making workshop, and all the labor force in the village was mobilized.

Some were clearing snow, while others were buying food with Hu Zi.

Although no one understood why Chu Chen did this.

But looking at the increasingly heavy snow, some people seemed to have guessed what was going on.

Everyone was mobilized to do the work Chu Chen had instructed them to do before the New Year.

Chu Chen didn't sit idle either; he drove to Lan Tianlei's residence in Qingyun City.

"Oh, Brother Chu, you have some free time today, why did you think of your brother?"

"Brother Lan, have you noticed that this year's heavy snow is a bit unusual?"

"Hey, now that you mention it, it really is much bigger than in previous years."

Seeing this, Lan Tianlei looked at the servants outside the courtyard who were clearing the snow and said...

So Chu Chen voiced his concerns.

Lan Tianlei immediately said he would purchase a large quantity of grain.

But Chu Chen stopped him: "Brother Lan, this matter needs to be discussed more carefully."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"You have to buy grain in small groups and do it quietly, otherwise the price of grain will definitely skyrocket."

After listening for a moment, Lan Tianlei immediately understood the reasoning behind it.

He then gave Chu Chen an appreciative look and said...

“Brother Chu, I know how to do it. Thank you for reminding my brother.”

After saying that, he whispered a few words in the butler's ear, and the butler ran out.
