Two months later: Gu Residence, in Gu Hai's study:
Gu Hai sat before his desk. Guqin, Shanghai Hen, Chen Tianshan, and some of the Gu Residence's managers stood in front of him.
"Adoptive Father, the Jin Nation and the Lu Nation have already taken complete control. There are still some small rebellions in the country from time to time, but they are no longer a big deal. It is normal for there to be pain during the transition period," Guqin said with a smile.
"That's right. Master, the managers sent good news. The Cai Nation, the Lu Nation, the Jin Nation, and the Chen Nation have all surrendered to my Gu Residence. Now, they belong to the Gu Residence. Only the Zhao Nation remains. However, with Manager Zhao's arrangements, the Zhao Nation is in chaos. Grand Marshal Gao sent troops to the Zhao Nation, and many of the Zhao Nation's cities surrendered. I believe that we will be able to take down the Zhao Nation soon!"
"The Peony Sect is behind the Zhao Nation. Did the Peony Sect send any disciples?" Gu Hai asked after taking a sip of tea.
"There is no news yet!" Guqin shook his head.
"The Peony Sect? With countless cultivators heading to the Peony Sect, the Peony Sect disciples should be overwhelmed. How can they have time to care about the Zhao Nation? "Guqin smiled.
Gu Hai nodded. "Since that is the case, send a message to Gao Xianzhi and Manager Zhao. Tell them to take down the Zhao Nation as soon as possible! Gao Xianzhi has a group of Innate Realm cultivators under her command. Don't delay them for too long! "
"Yes!" Guqin answered.
"Gu Hai, I heard that a large number of cultivators are joining my Gu Residence again?" Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan.
"Yes, Milord. Two months ago, Milord fought five Yuanying State Fiend Kings, shocking countless cultivators in the surroundings. Now, more than one thousand cultivators, who are usually very difficult to recruit, are willing to join my Gu Residence!"
Chen Tianshan said with satisfaction. "If you recruit too many people, it will be easy for problems to arise. Make sure to settle them properly and make a selection! "Gu Hai said.
"Yes!" Chen Tianshan answered.
"Shangguan Hen, how's the search going?" Gu Hai looked at Shangguan Hen.
Shangguan Hen furrowed his brows and shook his head. "Sir, I did my best to search everywhere and found some traces left by the Shenji Battalion's disciples. However, they are very cunning …!"
"You still haven't found him?" Gu Hai asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
"Continue searching, don't stop!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Shangguan Hen replied.
Gu Hai suddenly frowned, his face flushed red, as if he was somewhat uncomfortable.
"Father, what's wrong?" Guqin asked in surprise.
"I'm fine!" Gu Hai shook his head.
It was because the Life Ender Saber had devoured the Five Daewon Budding Realm experts previously. As a result, the energy had accumulated in his body and he was unable to break through again.
"Is the drought of the five nations very serious this time?" Gu Hai looked at an old manager. "Yes, Sir.
"Yes, Master. This year, we've received news from various places. It's very serious. There's a drought, thousands of li of fertile farmland, and not a single grain can be harvested. There's also a plague of locusts. In many places, what little food there is has been eaten up by locusts. When the locusts pass through, mountains of corpses are everywhere. The common people have no food to live on, so they have to eat tree bark to survive. There's even a tragic case of bartering. It's been several months, and many people have died in various places!"
Gu Hai frowned as he tapped his fingers on the table in deep thought.
"Doing good is accumulating merit. Accumulating merit? Accumulating providence? "Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master, should my Gu Residence make a move? Food is in short supply everywhere. Although my Gu Residence has stockpiled food, it cannot save the entire world, "that old manager said.
"Make a move. Do your best to provide disaster relief!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"However, Master, this subordinate has done some calculations. This natural disaster is too severe. Even if we take over the five nations, open up all the national treasuries, and even use all the stockpiled food of my Gu Residence, we can only last two months to save the world. After that, there will be no more food!" the old manager said worriedly.
"I already said that we will do our best to provide disaster relief. Send out my Gu Residence's orders. Do not raise the price of grain in the various shops!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Uh … yes!" the old manager said bitterly.
"I need beneficence, countless beneficence. As for the grain in two months, I will think of a way!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Yes!" the old manager answered.
Jin Nation:
The citizens of many places did not care about the Jin Nation's destruction. This was because many of them could no longer survive. Their entire families were about to starve to death. How could they have the energy to care about the country's matters?
Some of the trees outside the cities had lost all their bark. They had eaten everything they could, but many people still starved to death. There was no food to eat. Skinny corpses littered some dark corners outside the cities.
In a family in a small village:
A woman hugged a little boy and cried. An old couple sat beside her, tears streaming down their faces. A middle-aged man also showed a pained expression.
"I already made an agreement with the neighboring village's Old Wang. We will give Xiaobao to his family, and he will give his child to us!" the middle-aged man said in pain.
"No, no, I don't want to. We can't give Xiaobao to his family. We can't give him. Sob! Sob! I won't give him even if I die!" the woman cried as she hugged the little boy.
"Mother, I'm hungry!" the little boy in her embrace cried.
The middle-aged man suddenly knelt down. "Xiaobao, Father has let you down. However, if we don't give Xiaobao to the Old Wang Family, our entire family will starve to death. Father, Mother, this child cannot be unfilial. Sob! Sob! "
"No, no, I won't eat the Old Wang Family's child. I don't want to give Xiaobao to the Old Wang Family. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to!" the woman cried bitterly.
At this moment, the old man of the old couple hit the kneeling middle-aged man with a wooden stick. "Evil creature, evil son, how could you do such a thing? Your mother and I are already old. How could you bear to give Xiaobao to the Old Wang Family to eat? I'll beat you to death! "
The old man hit the middle-aged man painfully. The old woman also stopped the old man and said, "Don't hit him. Our son is also worried sick. The Old Li Family next door also swapped their son with someone else. We are the ones who implicated them. We are the ones who implicated them!"
The old man hit the middle-aged man and showed a bitter expression. He looked at the old woman and said with a bitter smile, "Wife, we can't give Xiaobao to the Old Wang Family. Our son and grandson are hungry. Let them eat us!"
The old woman looked at the old man and showed a sad smile. She nodded.
"No, Dad, Mom, don't, I know I was wrong, don't take it too hard!" The middle-aged man suddenly cried and hugged the old man's leg.
"The Li family next door swapped their son for food. After they finished eating, they were hungry again. The whole family cried and hung themselves. My son, eat us. Don't give Xiaobao to others. He is the root of our family!" The old man said while crying.
"No, no!" The middle-aged man wailed.
The woman who was carrying the child also revealed a look of despair. "Father, Mother, your daughter-in-law is unfilial. Give Xiaobao to the Wang family. Wuwuwu!"
"Mom, I'm hungry!" The little boy cried.
The entire family fell into a deathly silence. A great sense of despair enveloped the entire family. It was as if the whole family had nothing left to live for.
"Clang, clang, clang!" Suddenly, the sound of a gong was heard from outside the house.
"Mr. Gu Gu, we'll open the barn and provide free porridge. Those who don't have enough at home can bring a bowl and line up at the farm!
Mister Gu, open the barn and provide free porridge. Those who don't have enough to eat can bring a bowl and line up at the farm!
…
…
"…"
The gong man outside repeated the announcement loudly.
The despairing family in the house suddenly raised their heads together.
"Unfilial son, what are they saying? Mister Gu, open the barn and provide free porridge? Free porridge? "
"Mister Gu, is that the richest man in the Six Nations? Old man, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, we are saved. "
"Open the barn and provide free porridge? Free porridge? "
"Wuwuwuwu. Xiaobao, my Xiaobao. Wuwuwuwu!" The woman hugged the child and hugged her head in pain.
The family quickly walked out of the house with pots and bowls.
This was not the only disaster. Most families had experienced this disaster.
The villagers kept gathering at the farm.
At this moment, countless refugees had gathered at the huge farm. All of them were dragging their families and holding pots and bowls. They were sallow and emaciated.
Above the farm, ten large pots were set up, and they were continuously cooking porridge. After the porridge was cooked, it was immediately poured into a large bucket and carried to the side to scoop porridge for the refugees. After the big pots were emptied, the porridge was immediately cooked again.
The countless refugees lined up in ten lines and walked to the porridge bucket.
Previously, the family of five had lined up for a very long time. Finally, they arrived before a porridge bucket and trembled as they handed over a large bowl.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The old man cried emotionally.
"Don't thank me. You have to thank my master. My master, Gu Hai, Mr. Goode!" The person scooping the porridge said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Many thanks, Master Gu. Many thanks, Master Gu!" The old man's eyes brimmed with tears.
The family scooped the porridge and showed sincere gratitude on their faces. Among them, the boy grabbed the large bowl and drank with all his might, unwilling to let go. Soon, the boy finished the porridge.
"Xiaobao is saved. Wuwuwu!" The woman at the side cried.
"Alright, bring the bowl over. I'll scoop another bowl for the boy!" The person holding the large spoon said with a smile.
"Many thanks! Many thanks!" The woman cried gratefully.
"I already said that this is my master's instructions. My master, Gu Hai, is Mister Gu. If you want to thank someone, thank him. We are just running errands!" that person said with a smile.
"Many thanks, Master Gu!"
After the family received the porridge, they could not bear to eat it. They slowly moved to the side, and the people behind them continued to receive gifts.
When they reached a quiet place, the family treasured the porridge and drank it. Their weak complexions improved slightly.
"Many thanks, Mister Gu. My son, daughter-in-law, husband, and Xiaobao, we will kowtow to Mister Gu. Many thanks to Mister Gu for saving our lives. We will kowtow to Mister Gu!" the old man said solemnly.
"Alright!"
The family pulled Xiaobao to his knees in a daze. Then, he knelt in the northeast direction, kowtowing in the direction of the Gu Residence from a great distance away.
When the many disaster victims who survived their temporary crisis saw this family kneel, they also knelt, thanking Mister Gu from a great distance away.
This scene happened in the Chen Nation, Cai Nation, Lu Nation, and Jin Nation.
Opening the granaries and providing relief to the disaster victims was a great favor, a great deed, and a great deed.
Immediately, sincere gratitude turned into beneficence. The will of heaven seemed to guide these beneficence in the direction of the Gu Residence.
Many strands of beneficence gathered into providence and charged at Gu Hai.
Gu Residence, Soaring Pagoda: Gu Hai sat at the top of the pagoda, looking at some information on various places. Suddenly, it was like a strong wind appeared out of nowhere and rushed into his body.
That familiar feeling. Beneficence! Beneficence gathered from all over the world, gathering into providence and charging at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai felt like all the pores in his body opened, and a comfortable feeling filled his body.
"Providence? Indeed, doing good deeds accumulates beneficence. Doing good deeds accumulates beneficence. Doing good deeds has rewards. Ha! This feeling is about to break through! "Gu Hai let out a long breath.
