A genius girl with her own space

Qiqi got up early in the morning, stretched, and hurried out to look for Jingze. When she went out, she saw Jingze waiting for her at the door.

"Brother Jingze, let's go get some breakfast first." Qiqi took Jingze's hand and went to the kitchen. Qiqi's older brother was cooking for her. Red bean porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and tofu with scallions looked appetizing. Xie Lei and Liu Wenqiu also came over. Although they didn't know what was going on, they guessed from Qiqi's expression that something was going to happen.

They hurriedly finished their meal. Qiqi asked her sister-in-law to go back to her room to rest. Then they all went to Marshal Zhao's tent.

Yun Jizi had arrived early and was discussing some issues with the Marshal.

"Master, uncle, what are you discussing?" Qiqi asked.

Yun Jizi replied, "This weather is abnormal. Let's go outside the city and take a look."

"Master, we are here to go out of the city together. The horses are ready outside. The snow outside the city is a bit deep, so we can't take a carriage." Qiqi said.

Qiqi and her group of ten people rode nine horses out of the city. Qiqi sat in front of Yuntian's horse. Yuntian wrapped Qiqi in his cloak, leaving only her small head exposed. She felt warm in Yuntian's arms.

After a night of snowfall, the snow had thickened, and the trees creaked under its weight. The wind blew away many snowballs, and the surrounding villages were all melted into the snow, a silvery white.

Arriving at the nearest village to the border town, I saw thick snow on the roofs and in the courtyards of many villagers. They were warming themselves by fire, the wood damp, and thick smoke billowing from it. Some villagers stamped their feet inside. Without dry firewood, they couldn't start a fire or cook.

Qiqi discussed the matter with her uncle and master. They were urged to quickly move to the border city. Qiqi told her uncle to tie wooden planks together to form bedboards, then harness horses to the front, like a sled. This way, the victims outside the city could be quickly transferred inside. Marshal Zhao and the Yuntian brothers quickly returned to the city. Marshal Zhao arranged for two thousand soldiers to shovel snow outside the city, while ten thousand soldiers were dispersed outside to bring the victims in. Five hundred soldiers rode on wooden planks, saddled with horses, to transport the victims. The Yuntian brothers were in overall command.

Qiqi, Jingze, and Brother Xie Lei also used their Qinggong skills to fly to a deserted area and transported two bulldozers from space. Zhou Jingze and Xie Lei had driven excavators in South City before, so they quickly learned how to do it. Each of them piled the snow on the road to the village to the side of the road, dividing the work between them. They quickly created a path wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass.

Soon, the first batch of disaster victims, along with their families, were brought into the city by sleds. The soldiers in the city arranged their accommodation in an orderly manner. Some soldiers also prepared food for the disaster victims.

Qiqi and her master used their Qinggong skills to reach a more distant village and told the village headman to move anyone with a car. They were told that the heavy snow, which would continue for days, could collapse houses and kill people without food. The headman quickly called a few people to disperse and inform the entire village.

Qiqi told everyone there was a rendezvous a few miles ahead. They'd meet them along the main road, and they'd take them into the city in a horse-drawn carriage to escape the snowstorm. At first, everyone was skeptical, but Qiqi pulled out the prince's token Jingze had given her. The villagers finally believed her, and one after another, gathering their meager supplies, they trudged off in the direction Qiqi had indicated.

A young, strong, and intelligent man ran there. He soon arrived at the pick-up point Qiqi had mentioned. He saw a large tent set up, filled with many disaster victims waiting to be evacuated. One after another, horse-drawn carriages were carrying the victims toward the city.

He went back quickly, shouting as he walked, "The pick-up point is just in front of us, everyone hurry up. What the little girl said is true. The city has sent many soldiers to pick us up in front." When the village head heard this, he urged everyone to move quickly.

Qiqi also noticed the young man. He walked up to an elderly woman, said something, and then asked a pretty young woman to help him walk to the pick-up point.

Xie Lei drove a bulldozer and pushed the snow here, making a small path on the road. The young man stared at him and came forward.

When these two bulldozers were plowing the snow, they attracted a large crowd of people to stop and watch. When anyone asked about it, Xie Lei would say he bought them from a traveling merchant and drove them from the next city. Qiqi had long since told Xie Lei and his brothers about her ring space. Xie Lei didn't ask any questions, treating Qiqi like his dearest family. He was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

Qiqi came over and asked her brother to rest and gave him a bottle of spiritual spring water.

Qiqi asked the boy, "What's your name? Do you want to learn how to drive this big guy?"

"Hello, my name is Sun Haozhi. I am a villager of this village. Can I learn from you?" Sun Haozhi asked.

"Yes, let Brother Xie Lei teach you how to drive. Let him rest for a while first," Qiqi replied.

"Come on, Sun Haozhi, get in the car. I'll teach you." Xie Lei trusted Qiqi's judgment and taught Sun Haozhi carefully, step by step.

Several nearby villages were evacuated one after another, and more villagers arrived at the evacuation point. Zhou Jingze pushed the snow and joined the two thousand soldiers who were shoveling snow.

Zhou Jingze had the soldiers ride on the bulldozers, some even standing in the blades. He drove them toward Qiqi. The soldiers burst into laughter; they had never ridden in one before. The soldiers nearby were envious. They too boarded the carriages that would take them to the drop-off point. But they weren't as fast as the bulldozers.

The snow was still falling, but everyone was in a joyful mood. They all knew it was the city defense forces who were rescuing them. They were all grateful. Some who had seen the prince's token spontaneously spread the word that it was the prince who had sent the rescuers. Many people knelt in the snow and kowtowed in gratitude.

One after another, the common people spontaneously walked towards the city, supporting each other, hoping to lighten the burden on the soldiers and allow them to transport the elderly, weak, sick and disabled first.

Inside the city, Yuntian and his men were having a rough time. The government offices were filled with disaster victims, and several schools had been requisitioned as resettlement sites. Some soldiers cooked, others brewed cold-relieving soups. The government doctor prepared some medicine to prevent the cold.

The government doctor knew that epidemics were likely to occur after major disasters.

Liu Wenqiu also came to the resettlement site to help prepare Chinese herbal medicine. She often learned common sense from her father. Her father had taught her about methods for dealing with natural and man-made disasters. Since she couldn't help outside the city, she did what she could within the city. It was cold, and everyone needed to drink herbal medicine to prevent the cold.

The villagers who arrived at the resettlement site lined up to receive a bowl of Chinese herbal medicine. Each time they received it, they said "thank you." This brought warmth and understanding to the busy and tired hearts of the government doctor, Liu Wenqiu, and the soldiers.

Marshal Zhao also replaced the first batch of disaster relief soldiers and asked them to return to the barracks to rest.

The second batch of soldiers appeared in the disaster area, full of life. More victims continued to arrive in the city. Many restaurants, shops, and wealthy families were filled with victims. They spontaneously took out whatever they could find to build shelters and erected tents on the streets to accommodate the victims. Yuntian and his men also set up rows of tents next to the city defense garrison. The victims under their command gradually moved in. Yunming and Yunyue were distributing bedding and rations. The military doctor also prepared large pots of medicinal soup and distributed them.

Zhou Jingze drove the bulldozer to Qiqi and stopped. He got out of the car and pulled Qiqi over to see if she was injured. Qiqi handed him a bottle of water to replenish his energy.

Xie Lei also taught Sun Haozhi how to drive a bulldozer. Sun Haozhi drove the bulldozer carefully, pushing the snow, feeling particularly happy. Xie Lei also came to Qiqi. "Sister, take a break. Don't tire yourself out. I think uncle has replaced the second group of people to come to the disaster relief. You, Jingze, and Master, don't tire yourself out."

"Brother, you too," Qiqi invited Xie Lei and Jingze to come to the small tent that Qiqi had set up for her master for the march.

Yun Jizi was a little tired from his continuous Qing Gong exercises, so he drank the fruit wine Qiqi had taken out from the space. Qiqi also handed a bottle to Jingze and Xie Lei to relieve their fatigue.
