Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 178 Persuasion
Cheng Mo wanted to stay with Banmu forever, but he could not sit idly by and watch two-thirds of the orcs die in the disaster two years later. Therefore, Cheng Mo took a series of preventive measures for the upcoming flood. First, the construction of embankments should be strengthened to ensure their solidity and reliability; second, the river channel should be cleaned regularly to remove obstacles and silt to ensure that the waterway is unobstructed; in addition, soil and water conservation work should be vigorously carried out.
Since it is known that the entire orc world will encounter a flood in two years, Cheng Mo has also carefully planned a series of educational activities on flood awareness and prevention, aiming to enhance the orcs' risk avoidance awareness and self-salvation ability.
"Duoduo, this is the next construction plan. I'll be thanking you for your hard work in the next period of time." Cheng Mo handed the "Strengthening Dike Construction" plan in his hand to Duoduo.
"Okay, Lord Mayor!" Duoduo took the plan respectfully, then turned and left.
"High Priest, how is the publicity and education activities carried out by the school going?" Cheng Mo turned his head, his eyes fell on Xiong Bai, and asked.
"We teach according to the books you provided, and everyone studies very seriously. However, there are always a few naughty guys who don't study hard. They always think that learning these things is useless, and they skip classes every day!" Xiong Bo shook his head, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Cheng Mo frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked, "Who are they specifically?"
"It's the orcs in the Winged Tribe headed by Gua Yan. They think they have wings and don't need to be afraid of floods, so they have always refused to learn this knowledge." Xiong Bai answered truthfully.
"It's them, as expected..." Cheng Mo murmured softly and stood up, "Okay, I'll go talk to them."

When Cheng Mo arrived at the school, he found that Gu Yan was holding a little cub and flying in the air. There were also a group of little cubs playing and laughing around Gu Yan in the air.
"Guo Yan!" Cheng Mo raised his hand and waved at him, motioning him to come over.
After hearing the sound, the surrounding cubs hurriedly moved away, not daring to approach Cheng Mo. Gua Yan first put the cub down gently, and then flew to Cheng Mo happily.
"Lord City Lord, are you looking for me?" Gua Yan circled around Cheng Mo excitedly.
"Stop for a moment." Cheng Mo shook his head helplessly. Gua Yan immediately obeyed him. After changing back into human form, he happily moved closer to Cheng Mo.
"I heard from others that you actually skipped the disaster education class before?" Cheng Mo asked Gua Yan with a serious expression.
Gua Yan lowered his head with a guilty conscience, rubbing his feet on the ground, and muttered softly: "But...we Winged Orcs have wings. When we encounter flood disasters, we can just fly away. There is no need to learn these things!"
Cheng Mo did not agree with this view. He retorted: "With wings? Can you stay in the sky all day without falling to the ground?"
Gua Yan thought about it, and honestly shook his head and replied: "That's definitely not possible..."
"Do you know? When the flood comes, the earth will be submerged by the surging waters. All you can see is a vast ocean, and there will be no place to stand. By then, you will be in the sky but unable to land. You will neither be able to find food to fill your stomach nor keep your body warm. The end result will be death from exhaustion or hunger, or even freezing to death from the cold! Do you still think you can survive?" Cheng Mo looked at Gua Yan with a serious expression and said solemnly.
"No...it's not that serious..." Although he was already shaken in his heart, Gua Yan still remained stubborn and retorted softly in dissatisfaction.
"Alas... Can you accept watching these cubs being washed away by the flood?" Cheng Mo sighed helplessly and pointed at the little cubs who wanted to get closer but were a little scared.
"Of course not!" Gua Yan shook his head vigorously.
"Think about it, even if you are lucky enough to find a place to stay, food and warm gear, other orcs may not be so lucky. The only thing they can do is stay where they are, waiting for rescue. Especially those young and fragile cubs, as well as the frail old, weak and disabled, they need help from others at this critical moment of life and death! So the question is, do you know how to save an orc who was washed away by the flood?" Cheng Mo asked.
"Isn't this easy? I just need to fly over and catch him and rescue him!" Gua Yan raised his chin, looking confident, and answered confidently.
"Wrong! What you need to do is stay calm and judge the safety of the surroundings before taking any rescue action." Cheng Mo retorted with a serious face: "If you rush to rescue people, the orc will be very emotional when he is washed away by the flood. He may struggle and resist in panic and accidentally pull you into the water. Besides, even if you succeed in rescuing people, if you don't find a safe place to land, you can only float in the air. When you run out of energy and can't support flying, it is very likely that both of you will fall into the water! More importantly, do you know what to do after saving someone? If the person being rescued is drowning, do you know how to perform first aid?"
Cheng Mo stared at Gu Yan's eyes, his tone became more and more severe, and the questions he asked continuously overwhelmed Gu Yan. Faced with this series of questions, Gu Yan suddenly became speechless. Because he suddenly realized that his knowledge of rescue was too scarce. At this moment, he realized that those disaster education classes were not redundant, and he really needed to learn more about rescue and emergency response.
"I'm sorry... I will study hard, I won't skip classes anymore, and I will supervise others!" Gua Yan's face was full of guilt, he lowered his head deeply, and humbly admitted his mistake.
Cheng Mo showed a relieved smile, but at the same time he couldn't help but sigh. He said earnestly: "Okay! What I want to tell you is that you should not rely solely on your so-called instincts and physical conditions, because in the face of a real crisis, any negligence may lead to irreversible consequences. When disaster strikes, I hope everyone can be safe and sound and live well! Of course, I hope these disasters will never befall us!"
After saying this, Cheng Mo patted Gua Yan's shoulder gently, then turned around and left silently, leaving Gua Yan standing there, looking at his receding back thoughtfully.
At this moment, a group of cubs gathered around cautiously, their eyes revealing their concern for Gua Yan. One of the cubs whispered, "Brother Gua Yan..."
Gua Yan came back to his senses and looked at them with a smile. He bent down, gently picked up a little cub, stroked its furry body with his hands, and comforted it: "Don't worry! Brother will study hard and protect you in the future!" His voice was full of tenderness and promise, which made the little cubs feel extremely relieved.
