It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 132

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. While the sun was still rising and not too hot, Jiang Yan walked out of the house with a slingshot spinning on his index finger, found a clean place to sit down, and looked for the "thief" among the rolling wheat waves.

This year, Fu Nulang was too late in finding people and planting. Not only did the wheat grow short and not full, but the harvest was also delayed by several days. Other farms had already started the process of drying and threshing the wheat.

Jiang Yan's mind was empty, and he slowly felt sleepy and fell into a drowsy state.

In the dream, Fu girl married a young man from a noble family. The noble family had strict rules, and Jiang Yan was dismissed by Fu girl because he acted casually and lacked rules.

She happily returned to Dongshan Village with all her wealth, and then bought more than ten acres of fertile land in Rongcheng County and planted all the food she liked.

On the day the grain was harvested, she, Jiang Yan, held a grand banquet to thank her relatives and friends. Amidst everyone's praises, she drank rice wine until she felt dizzy, and then disappeared in everyone's terrified eyes.

Where the hell did they get lost again? Jiang Yan was so anxious that she turned around and stomped her feet. The sudden fall made her wake up suddenly.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm his rapidly beating heart, Jiang Yan felt the scorching sun on his face and finally returned home with some fear.

After having this dream, which was neither good nor bad, Jiang Yan couldn't sleep well for several days and often woke up in the middle of the night.

That night, Jiang Yan woke up again but couldn't fall asleep again because of his complicated thoughts. He tiptoed out of the house and sat quietly on the courtyard wall to enjoy the moon and the breeze.

The moon on the seventeenth was so round and bright that it seemed as if Jiang Yan could just reach out and embrace it in his arms.

Under the moonlight, there was an inky black sky, with stars scattered everywhere, and... a sky glowing orange-red and swirling with smoke...

Is there a fire in the capital? With such a massive fire, the victims must have suffered heavy losses. How will they survive from now on?

Jiang Yan felt sympathy, but couldn't help but stare at him closely.

At this moment, the red light and smoke in the sky became more and more obvious, and the range continued to expand. She vaguely heard the heart-wrenching screams of the crowd and the sound of swords clashing.

What was he thinking about? Jiang Yan patted his forehead. The farm was more than 30 miles away from the provincial capital. How could he hear such detailed sounds?

After half an hour, Jiang Yan found that the fire showed no signs of abating, and he became increasingly uneasy.

She jumped off the wall and put her ear to the ground, trying to hear some noise.

Jiang Yan was a complete layman in this area. She listened attentively for a few seconds. In addition to the roaring sound of blood flowing, she also heard a gradually clearer sound of... footsteps?

She looked up and saw Chunying with her long hair loose and her arms folded at a sixty-degree angle above her.

Chunying yawned deeply and asked sleepily, "Why are you lying on the ground so strangely, instead of sleeping so late at night?"

Jiang Yan swore that she was very close to having a heart attack. She had not gotten enough sleep in recent days and had been frightened frequently, and her already fragile heart could no longer bear the strain.

"Are you stupid?" Chunying saw Jiang Yan stunned and not answering, still maintaining that strange kneeling posture.

Jiang Yan still hadn't smoothed over the chill in his chest, so he could only free one hand to point toward the sky.

This time it was Chunying's turn to be frightened. She opened her sleepy eyes wide and said, "How long has this flood in the city been going on?!"

"Almost an hour." Jiang Yan brushed the dust off his trouser legs, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you think I was hallucinating? I just vaguely heard the sound of chopping and killing coming from over there on the wind."
