Ning Dalang confirmed again and again that the man did not show any signs of approaching. In order to send him away quickly, he said, “Because the water level in Fortune Village has always been stable. It has never risen like this year. It has even risen more than once. There must be something wrong with this abnormality. The upper reaches of the Dusk River is the Luo Prefecture. There are dams specially used to prevent floods there.”

At this point, he paused. “The river keeps rising. 1 can’t help but worry…”

Ning Dalang did not finish the second half of his sentence, but the handsome man sighed in his heart as he completed Ning Dalang’s unfinished sentence- he was worried that something would happen to the dam! However, if something really happened to the dam, he did not know what would happen to the county cities and towns, but the dozens of villages along the river probably could not avoid the disaster!

Ning Dalang skipped over what he shouldn’t have said and only said, “The seedlings in the field are still waiting to be planted. If we encounter a flood, we will be the first to be unlucky.”

The handsome man asked again, “Since you’ve considered this, have you ever thought of moving away?”

Ning Dalang looked at him in confusion. The handsome man laughed self-deprecatingly. “1 asked a stupid question.”

Which villager would move away from their homeland just because of a little groundless worry?

This was also what he was most melancholic about. The handsome man with a mustache sighed and cupped his hands at Ning Dalang before turning to leave. Before he could walk far, he heard the girl say in a sweet and clear voice, “Brother, let’s go pull up the prawn net. Take out the prawns and devein the prawns while they’re fresh. I’ll make prawn dumplings for you.”

“Prawn dumplings are delicious. Season the prawns and mushrooms and then wrap with my special dough skin. The skin is different from ordinary dumpling skin. It’s translucent when it’s steamed over a large fire. You can see the pink prawns, white mushrooms, green cucumbers, and black wood ears through the skin. Take a bite…”

The man with a handsome mustache stopped in his tracks and turned around to look. Unfortunately, the young man and girl had already walked far away. He could not help but fall into deep thought—What will happen after taking a bite?

Seeing him coming back, the butler, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward and handed him the cloak. County Magistrate Shen waved his hand. “It’s not that cold anymore. Why are you so worried? Do you think I’m Tianci?”

The butler looked at his expression. “Did Master encounter something worrying?”

County Magistrate Shen sighed and turned towards the Dusk River. “Yes.”

He said, “I’m very curious about the taste of prawn dumplings.”

The butler was stunned. “Huh?”

County Magistrate Shen burst into laughter and said solemnly, “I’m also curious why those officials don’t understand the problem that even a country boy can think of. Or maybe they are turning a blind eye to it.”

The butler was also worried. “If all the officials in the world can work for the country and the people like Master, the people’s lives will definitely be much better.”

County Magistrate Shen scolded him with a smile. “Where did you learn that? But you are right. I alone am not enough. There are too few talents that the court can use. By the way, how is the academy?”

At this point, the butler had a headache. “Ever since 1 heard that you have a recommendation spot from the academy, the concierge has never stopped accepting invitations.” He sighed and continued, “Unfortunately, they’re all landlords and officials who blindly join in the fun. Only 10% to 20% of them are really knowledgeable…”

County Magistrate Shen touched his chin and said to him, “I think that the young man from the Ning Family you mentioned to me is not bad. Hasn’t anyone asked you about him?”

The butler shook his head in confusion. “Didn’t you hate this kind of relationship thing the most in the past?”

County Magistrate Shen looked at him disapprovingly. “One has to be flexible!”

After a moment of silence, he said, “Tianci has been taken care of by them for so many times, but as his parents, we didn’t even go to thank them. No, this is too unreasonable. Butler, go and prepare. I think the weather has been good these few days. Let’s take the time to inform the Ning Family and visit them..”
