Restart the Disaster of Another World
Chapter 91 Patrol Team
"Ayao, the house is built. Who are we going to sell it to now?"
Looking at the neat rows of new houses in front of them, the villagers were worried. After all, everyone knew that the disaster brought by the flood was too great, and many places were flooded. Although the houses were built now, it was difficult to find buyers.
Jing Yao smiled slightly and pointed to the West Mountain in the distance and said, "We can sell these houses to those who have fled from other places. They need a new place to live, and this place has just the conditions. Besides, winter is coming, and the caves over there in the West Mountain are no longer suitable for people to live in."
Everyone looked in the direction of Jing Yao's finger and saw many caves of different sizes above the West Mountain, some of which could even accommodate a family.
After the floods receded, people dug these caves to deal with possible dangers. Today, these caves have become shelters for the homeless.
Since the flood receded, many refugees from other places and people from coastal areas have chosen to stay in the mountains and occupy a cave as a shelter.
They thought the environment down there must be very bad, so they would rather live up there. The damage caused by the flood far exceeded the impact of the earthquake.
After the flood, the land at the foot of the mountain became a mess and could no longer be used. In addition, due to the large amount of stagnant water and high temperatures left after the flood, countless mosquitoes bred, making the entire environment extremely bad.
Imagine a life that is humid, hot and full of mosquito bites. It is simply unbearable.
As the number of people seeking refuge in mountain caves continues to increase, the already limited cave resources become even more strained.
Some people started to think about finding new places to dig caves. However, many villagers took tough measures, driving all people to the residential area on the top of the mountain and strictly prohibiting private digging of caves. They were worried that such behavior would damage the mountain structure and cause a collapse accident.
As people gathered in residential areas, although food problems had begun to emerge, due to the large population and huge demand, even though they currently had relatively more assets and the situation was still okay, it was still far from enough to get through the winter.
If this continues, it will be difficult for them to survive this winter. After all, in such a cold weather, with no place to live and no food to eat, wouldn't they freeze to death or starve to death?
But it is different now. With the housing purchase and settlement policy proposed by Jing Yao, as long as you buy a house in the city, you can settle down, pay in installments, find a job and live in the city, and repay the loan.
“This is a good method.”
"Yeah, I think it's good."
"Many people came to ask us whose house this was built."
“Haha, do they want to come too?”
"I want to come down from the mountains to see anything good."
"Tell them the good news, they will definitely agree."
"Yes, but you have to tell them they have to spend money to buy a house first."
"It's okay, we'll talk about it later."
"it is good."
After hearing this method, everyone nodded in agreement. These few events made everyone understand that strength lies in numbers. As long as these people from other villages are not bad people, everyone is happy to accept them living in the same village with them.
Moreover, in times of crisis like this, we must unite to overcome the current difficulties.
The villagers on the mountain were excited when they heard the news. Many of them wanted to come down the mountain, but they had no other way to do so. Now that they had such a good opportunity, they certainly didn't want to miss it!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and people ran around telling each other and talking about it.
For families with wealthy financial conditions, when they learned that they could transfer their household registration by purchasing a property, they took out their wallets without hesitation.
However, for families with limited financial resources, this decision seems a bit difficult. Although Jing Yao said that he will be burdened with a huge debt after buying a house, as long as he works hard, the debt will be paid off in the future, and his daily life will not be affected too much.
What is even more exciting is that Jing Yao made a surprising promise: if the homebuyer has a home purchase contract or is in debt, he will have priority to work in his factories, farms and ranches. This undoubtedly provides them with a shortcut to solve the employment problem, so many people are excited about this proposal. After all, everyone knows that it is not easy to enter Jing Yao's factory, and now you can get such an opportunity just by buying a house, which is really exciting.
As a result, many people flocked to the sales office to choose their favorite houses. Jing Yao had expected this and was fully prepared for it. He specially recruited and trained a group of sales staff from the village, especially those who had worked in Zhenbao Pavilion before, so that they could easily do this job with a little training.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
"Come quickly, catch the thief!"
Hearing the voice, Jing Yao quickly put down the basket in his hand, turned to Wen Qun and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."
The two men hurried over and saw a group of villagers surrounding a young man, talking.
It turned out that the young man was the thief. He was tied up with ropes by the villagers and thrown to the ground.
Jing Yao looked at the thief carefully and found that although he was dirty, he looked quite handsome.
The thief's face was full of tears. He kept apologizing to the villagers: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I just did it because I was too hungry."
The villagers were talking about it and were very angry. After all, there had been no thefts in their village for decades.
Someone couldn't help but question the thief: "Where are you from? Why do you want to steal things from our village?"
The thief cried and replied, "I am from the town. My house collapsed in the earthquake and I am the only one alive at home. There are no restaurants in the town now. I am so hungry that I stole your food."
After hearing this, the villagers looked at the thief with some sympathy.
At this time, the village head stepped forward and asked, "What is the situation in the town? Are there any government officials managing it?"
The thief wiped his tears and replied, "It's very chaotic, no one is in charge. There are people stealing, robbing, and even killing people."
The villagers couldn't help but frown, worried about the chaotic situation in the town.
The village head continued to ask: "How many days have you not eaten?"
The thief shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I haven't eaten for several days."
The village head sighed, then turned to the villagers and said, "Let's see what to do."
Jing Yao thought about it and felt that he should let the thief eat first before making a decision. So he said to the head of the village: "Why don't we get him something to eat first, and then deal with this matter."
The head of the village nodded in agreement and ordered the villagers to prepare some food for the thief.
After a while, the villagers brought a bowl of hot porridge and some steamed buns to the thief.
The thief was so grateful that he took the food and started to eat it greedily.
Jing Yao and Wen Qun stood aside and watched the thief finish his meal quietly.
Jing Yao thought to himself that if it were him, he would probably make the same choice. After all, in the face of hunger, human dignity may become worthless.
After the meal, the thief thanked the villagers again and promised not to do it again.
Jing Yao looked at the thief's sincere eyes and was moved. He said to the head of the village: "Why not let him stay in our village to help? It's better than letting him starve to death in the town."
After thinking for a while, the village head felt that Jing Yao's words made sense, so he agreed to Jing Yao's suggestion and let the thief stay.
The thief was so grateful that he kept thanking Jing Yao and the head of the village, expressing his willingness to do his part for the village.
In this way, Saturday became a member of the village.
"Do you know the situation in the county town?" asked the villager.
Saturday chewed his bread in big mouthfuls while answering vaguely: "I don't know. Some time ago, several patients came to our town. They were covered with sores and bugs crawled out of them. It was scary! The people in the town were terrified at the time, and the mayor strictly prohibited anyone from coming in.
Many people with connections fled with their families, and only those of us who had no connections stayed. At first, there was a doctor to treat us, but one day the doctor disappeared, and the mayor disappeared too, and the whole town was in chaos! Because my family had all died, I didn't dare to go out alone, so I didn't get sick.
I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would get sick, so I ran out too. I went to several places but there was nothing to eat. I remembered that there used to be a big factory here, so I wanted to see if there was anything to eat here. I didn't expect so many houses to be built here, so I didn't dare to come over, so I thought about getting something to eat. "After the man wolfed down his food, he burped and spoke slowly.
Hearing his words, Jing Yao and others looked at each other, and their hearts were heavy. It seemed that the disaster had spread to the county town, and it might even be more serious.
The symptoms described by the man reminded them of the plague in Pingyang County. Thinking of this, everyone's faces became solemn.
The town is already in chaos, and the situation in the county is even more unclear. Who knows how much their village will be affected?
When the disaster victims from the county town arrive, I'm afraid there will be more trouble. The earthquake weather has also become more extreme. If it continues, I'm afraid it will become more and more chaotic.
Jing Yao frowned and after thinking for a moment, he decided to gather the young and strong labor force in the village to discuss countermeasures together.
The villagers rushed to the designated location to gather, and the scene was very lively.
Seeing that everyone was present, the village head cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
The noisy discussions at the scene gradually died down, and everyone turned their eyes to the head of the village.
"I believe many people have heard about what happened today, but some people still don't know. So, let's talk about this matter." The village head continued.
"Yeah, the current situation is really a headache. The town can't survive anymore. Do you think those people will target us?"
The villagers began to chatter. They had not thought about it in that direction before, but now that they thought about it carefully, this possibility did exist. After all, they had food and drink at home, while the people in the town could not even eat a potato. It would be strange if they did not come to make trouble.
"Village head, please tell us directly what you think," said one of the villagers.
"I don't have any ideas. I'm old and my brain isn't very sharp anymore. I called everyone here just to hear your opinions." The head of the village threw the question back to everyone again.
"According to the current trend, the number of refugees will only increase. It's okay during the day, when there are still people in the village, and any attempt to sneak into the village will be discovered. But at night, when everyone is asleep, refugees sneak into the village, and it is a tricky matter no matter whose house they break into. Especially for those elderly and weak families, I'm afraid we won't notice it until the thieves have run hundreds of miles away!"
"Let's form a patrol team." someone suggested.
"When will the patrol start?" someone asked.
"Well... every night from 11:00 to 11:00, this period of time happens to be the time when most people rest." The head of the village said, "Do you have any other questions?"
"How many people are needed for the patrol team?" someone else asked.
"Hmm... let me think about it," the village head thought for a moment, "let's first select twenty people, divided into two groups, ten people in each group, to take turns on duty."
However, when discussing how the patrol team should select members, differences arose. Some villagers advocated drawing lots, while others preferred to let young and strong people form the patrol team. For a while, no one could reach a consensus.
"In my opinion, it would be better to form a patrol team with one person from every few households. This way, it will not delay the farm work of every household, and it can ensure that there are people patrolling the village every day."
"I think it's OK. It won't affect our work." A villager replied.
"Yes, and this method is fair and just, and will not affect any household." Another villager also expressed support.
"Okay, that's settled then." The headman said, "Any other questions?"
The village head nodded, indicating that he agreed with their idea, and asked if everyone agreed with the proposal.
Everyone agreed that this was a feasible approach, so the village head began to organize everyone to discuss how to implement the patrol plan.
"Then let's talk about how to patrol?" asked the head of the village.
At this moment, someone noticed Jing Yao who had been sitting quietly in the corner, and said, "Yao boy, how about you tell me what you can do?"
"How do we choose the patrol team leader?"
"Well..." The village head thought for a moment, "Let the older people take the position. They are experienced and steady in their work."
"Okay, let's do it." Everyone expressed their agreement.
"Then let's start signing up now. Those who are interested in joining the patrol team should step forward," said the village head.
As soon as the words came out, many villagers stood up and expressed their willingness to join the patrol team. Soon, the patrol team members were determined.
