Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 282 Wildfire cannot burn it all, the spring breeze brings it back to life.

"Damn it, when will this snow ever end?!"

In Huangcun village, a man walked home, brushed the snow off his clothes, shivered, and began to curse.

"Old Huang, how's it going in the fields?"

A woman carrying a swaddled baby walked over, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Hey, don't even mention it. If you dig through the snow, the ground is harder than stone. All the seedlings are dead."

The man sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of hot water to warm himself, and his weathered eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Then, won't we have no harvest next year?"

The woman's eyes were filled with worry. They were an ordinary family who relied entirely on farming and some handicrafts to make a living. If there was no harvest, they wouldn't have enough money to buy food to eat all year round.

"Old Huang, the village chief has called a meeting."

A shout came from outside. Hearing this, the man looked at the woman and said, "Wife, you stay home and watch the child. I'll go check on him."

"Okay, don't come back too late."

"Hey, okay."

The man nodded, put his straw hat back on, and went out the door.

Inside the Spirit Hall in the village, the old village chief was a man nearing fifty, not very tall, leaning on a cane. Beside him was a young man dressed as a Spirit Hall steward.

This deacon was not from the city, but was in charge of teaching the children of Huang Village to read and write. He was the village's teacher, and everyone respected him.

"Everyone, Teacher Du has something important to announce," the old village chief said, then walked to the side.

Teacher Du cleared his throat, stepped forward, waved, and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I'm so sorry to have called you here on such a snowy day, but I do have something important to tell you."

"Teacher Du, please speak frankly, we will listen to you."

Huang Hanzi said loudly that this Teacher Du is a learned man. Although they have only known each other for less than two years, he has helped their village a lot and taught the villagers to read for free. Everyone trusts him very much. They usually do whatever he says and rarely ask questions.

"Everyone, it must be very cold these days with the heavy snow. We've received word that someone will be delivering firewood and charcoal to you soon."

"Great, that's wonderful! We've almost run out of charcoal these past few days, this is just in time."

"Yes, yes, it's just in time, otherwise I don't know how I would have gotten through this winter."

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Teacher Du waved his hand, and the people below quieted down, looking at Teacher Du expectantly.

"Fellow villagers, we have received news from above that after the New Year, you should move to Wuhun City for a period of time. Don't worry, we will prepare accommodations for you on the outskirts of Wuhun City, so you don't need to worry about anything."

Old Gu in the crowd frowned slightly, thinking that something big might be about to happen. No, he had to ask Xiao Han.

"Teacher Du, we were living comfortably, why did we suddenly move to Wuhun City?"

"Yes, Teacher Du, it's quite nice for us to stay here."

Everyone was puzzled, wondering why, when everything seemed fine, they were going to move to Wuhun City next year.

"Everyone, I'm not entirely sure about these things either, but this is the arrangement from above."

"Teacher Du, is something big about to happen?"

Some people, being more quick-witted, guessed that something big might be about to happen.

"Don't worry too much, everyone. As long as we get to Wuhun City, we'll all be fine."

Teacher Du gestured for everyone to be quiet and began to explain loudly. However, seeing the increasingly uneasy crowd, Teacher Du had no choice but to unleash his trump card, saying, "Everyone, there's one more thing. Anyone willing to go to Wuhun City can receive 5 gold soul coins every month."

"5 gold soul coins!?"

"so much?!"

"This...this...we might not even have this much in a year!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was immediately diverted, and they were only thinking about the fact that they could receive 5 gold soul coins every month, so they immediately agreed.

Not just Huangcun, but all people in this large area in the direction of Huangcun will be assigned to Wuhun City or its outskirts.

This was to make room for the large influx of migrants that might arrive later.

The snow continued to fall. In the past few days, a giant fire phoenix could be seen soaring in the sky almost every day in the villages outside Wuhun City, and the ice and snow would slowly melt wherever it passed.

Lingyuan controlled the fire with great care, not only melting the snow but also ensuring that the people below wouldn't be harmed, while also providing warmth.

At the same time, all the fire-attribute soul masters in Wuhun City also set out to melt the ice and snow.

Gu Han led A Yin to a village outside the city. The snow had melted, but the ground was still very hard. Looking at the almost withered rice seedlings, Gu Han looked at A Yin.

"Ah Yin, these rice seedlings are not completely dead yet, but they are beyond human power to save. You have a very strong vitality, see if you can save them?"

Gu Han brought Ah Yin out to see if they could revive the grains. With the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality, perhaps they really could.

Ah Yin pursed her lips, squatted down, and gently lifted a withered seedling with her slender hand, murmuring softly.

"Wild fire, in spring."

The specks of blue energy entered the wheat seedling, and after gaining vitality, the almost dead seedling miraculously perked up again.

"Sure enough!"

A hint of joy flashed in Gu Han's eyes. This meant that the food supplies within the territory under the jurisdiction of Wuhun City would be saved.

Ah Yin stood up from the ground, shook her head and said, "Although I can save these wheat plants, after I transform into human form, my current strength can only reach the Soul Master level, which is not enough to support me to use Soul Skills on a large scale."

Upon hearing this, Gu Han seemed to ponder: "This is indeed a problem, but it's not like there's no way to solve it."

"any solution?"

Ah Yin asked instinctively.

Gu Han smiled mysteriously, opened his right hand, and a powerful mass of life energy condensed into the size of a basketball.

"How... how did you do that?"

Ah Yin was surprised. She could feel that the life force contained in this mass of life energy was incredibly pure, no less than her own life energy, and even seemed to be more powerful.

"This is something I created by imitating the left leg bone of the Emerald Swan, combined with the energy I comprehended, when you were saving this wheat plant."

"I see. Then why don't you just let me demonstrate it for you?"

"Haha, I won't be sure unless I try it out myself, so I have to try it out myself."

Gu Han smiled. The theory was good, but it still needed to be verified through practice.

After saying that, Gu Han sent the ball of life energy into the soil, following the same energy flow pattern that Ah Yin had just used, and channeled the energy into the roots of the wheat.

With the influx of life energy, the wheat in this field began to stand upright again, no longer lying flat on the ground as before.
