I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village
Chapter 53 Heavy rain pouring down
Yinshi (3:00-5:00 a.m.).
At this time, Liujiawan was brightly lit with flames. Everyone was working desperately under the light of torches, fearing that if they were a little slower, they would not be able to complete the tasks. After all, they did not have much time left.
By the Chu River.
"Ma'am, you should go get some rest. It's been a whole night."
On Friday, when I rushed back from the county government office, I saw Li Lan and the villagers of Liujiawan moving sandbags to build a protective wall, and I couldn't bear it.
"It's okay. As for me, if there's anything I'm most wealthy at, it's a lot of strength, and I have to use it." After hearing Zhou Wu's words, Li Lan straightened his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled.
Then, he shouted to the men who were working hard, "Everyone, work harder, we're almost done."
"Okay." The men looked at the three-foot-high protective wall in front of them, wiped their sweat off their foreheads, and smiled brightly.
Zhou Wu, who stepped forward to help, was deeply moved by the smiles on Li Lan and the others' faces and couldn't help but laugh as well. He sighed inwardly, "Perhaps this is the Madam's unique charm." The Master's vision was as sharp as ever.
"Tsk." Seeing Friday's look, Saturday's face was filled with disdain. He rolled his eyes, curled his lips, and whispered, "Flatterer."
After saying that, he hurried over to Li Lan, picked up the water bag tied around his waist and handed it to her. He leaned close to her and whispered, "Madam, this is the water I brought when we came here. The water bag is new. Drink it quickly."
Li Lan looked at the baby's face, which was full of attentiveness. He took the water bag from his hand with a smile, patted his shoulder gently, and said seriously, "You kid definitely has a future."
When Saturday heard her words, his eyes immediately sparkled. He smiled smugly at Friday, who happened to be looking over at him not far away.
Friday: ...
……
Shenshi (15:00-16:59), Lijia Village.
"Village Chief, Village Chief."
The village chief and several responsible persons were inspecting the completed mountains and ditches. When they heard the shouting, they quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Da Li, why are you back?"
Seeing that it was Li Dali, the village chief was puzzled and asked quickly.
Li Dali ran up to him, panting heavily. After a while, he said, "Village Chief, that girl asked me to tell you that everyone in our village should take their belongings and go up the mountain to the shelter."
When the village chief heard that it was Lan Yatou's instructions, he immediately understood. He shouted to those nearby, "Come here quickly."
After a while, several people came over quickly.
"Youtian, take some people with you and move the tents up the mountain first, then set them up and place them according to the groups we divided them into before. Hang a household nameplate with the name engraved on it outside each tent. Then the small tents must be placed inside. Remember to keep all tents away from the surrounding traps." After the village chief said this, he took out a roster from his arms and handed it to him.
Li Youtian took the list, nodded to the village chief, and left.
"Tianhu, take a few people with you and go check out the shelter first. Take the herbs that Doctor Xu gave you and fumigate the area around it. Also, check the fence in front of the trap to see if it's secure. Don't let anyone lean against it and fall into the trap."
"Okay, Uncle Village Chief." After saying that, he turned and left.
"Jianping, Chunlei, Dali, go get Jianxin (Li Jianping's cousin), Li Jun (old scholar's eldest son), and Li Guangjie (Li Youtian's son). Each of you will be responsible for five households. You will notify and manage them, take your people to the shelter, and then settle everyone down."
The village chief then handed each of them a crumpled piece of paper with their name on it. He then gave the remaining pieces of paper directly to Li Jianping, asking him to notify the others and pass them on to them.
……
After making all the arrangements, the village chief stood there and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the people leaving. He looked up at the dim sky and sighed: Girl Lan, the flood disaster you mentioned is almost certain.
On the other side, the home of Liujiawan Village Chief Liu
The main hall of Village Chief Liu's house was packed with people.
Li Lan sat in the center of the table, arranging everything in an orderly manner.
"On Saturday, ask the village doctor for some herbs, then take a few people to the shelter we found. Light the herbs and fumigate the area. Then, check the area again."
"Yes." Zhou Liu took the order and left.
"Grandpa Liu, take some people and move the tents to the shelter first. Set them up and arrange them in groups according to the list I gave you. Hang the nameplates we've engraved on the outside of the tents. Li Quan, take them there."
"it is good."
"Yes."
The two responded at the same time and stood up to leave.
"The remaining persons in charge, as we agreed before, will each be responsible for management and mobilizing the villagers in the group. Adhering to the principle of leaving no one behind, everyone must arrive at the shelter before the hour of You (17:00-18:59)." Li Lan said with a serious expression, leaving no room for doubt.
"Does anyone have any questions?" he continued seriously.
"No problem." The 10 men present shouted with determination on their faces, their voices in unison and loud.
"Okay, let's take action."
The 10 men stood up and walked out quickly.
"On Friday, I asked you to pick someone. Have you picked one yet?"
"Madam, it has been selected." Zhou Wu said respectfully.
"Okay, you follow the last group of villagers and clean up the mess." Li Lan focused his attention, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he tapped the table with his fingers.
"Yes."
Looking at Zhou Wu's leaving figure, Li Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: If you come to cause trouble tonight, you will never come back.
the other side.
Village Chief Liu sat on the kang, his eyes fixed on the door. Seeing him like this, Mrs. Qian, who was packing her things, sighed and shook her head.
Seeing Li Lan come in, Mrs. Qian smiled and asked her to sit down quickly.
Li Lan smiled and sat down, saying softly, "Grandpa Liu, are you getting impatient?"
When Village Chief Liu heard her ask this, he smiled embarrassedly, while Mrs. Qian, who had just sat down on the edge of the kang, gave him a look.
"I've made all the arrangements. Everyone must evacuate before the twentieth hour."
After hearing what Li Lan said, Village Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said yes happily.
"Grandpa Liu, I need to go out now to see if arrangements have been made for the other villages. I'll be at the shelter before the hour of Xu."
Village Chief Liu thought for a moment and said quickly, "Okay, Lan girl. But this is too hard for you. I am the one who has caused you trouble."
Seeing him lower his head, his face full of guilt, Li Lan smiled and comforted him, "Why are you saying that again? Grandpa Liu, didn't we agree at the time that the management rights would be given to me? Okay, Grandpa Liu, pack up and go directly to the threshing ground to gather. I'm leaving first."
"it is good."
Village Chief Liu's eyes welled up inexplicably as he watched Li Lan's quickly departing figure. Standing beside him, Mrs. Qian sighed and said, "Ah, she's still a girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet!"
……
18:45 PM, Liujiawan Shelter.
The last group of villagers had arrived and their eyes widened as they looked at the neatly arranged large tents.
"My God, this looks just like a house." An old woman said in amazement.
"Of course, you see, there are ropes at the four corners fixing it to the ground. It must be strong." Another woman agreed.
"I say, Miss Li is amazing. Look at the weather today, it's going to rain heavily soon. Maybe there will be a flood just as she said."
The people standing in line waiting for their tents to be allocated, when they heard her words, looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement.
Everyone here is happily busy with their own things, but the Zhang family on the other side is having a harder time.
"Dad, I didn't see anyone from the Liu family coming up. Why hasn't my second brother come back yet?" Zhang Quan, the eldest son of the Zhang clan leader, stood at the shelter on the mountain, leaning on a crutch, covering his chest, and looking anxiously down the mountain.
When the Zhang clan leader heard his words, he was also stunned. He immediately walked to his side with his crutches and looked down the mountain. Indeed, he did not see anyone.
"Dad, they won't find a new shelter, right? Did they discover my second brother and capture him?" Zhang Quan thought for a moment and said in panic.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Zhang clan leader who was standing next to him, who was leaning on a cane, began to tremble, and he couldn't help but panic.
When the other tribesmen heard what he said, they couldn't help but look panicked.
"Chief, didn't you say they would definitely come? Even if they don't, we can still find them. But it's almost dark, and the sky looks unusually dark, so it's going to rain heavily. Is there really a flood as that girl said?"
After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, thinking about the farmland where he had no ditches for drainage, and the houses at the foot of the mountain. He felt hopeless and his face turned pale.
……
Soon, crackling raindrops fell on the ground, splashing water. Gradually, the rain became dense and poured down.
"Oh, my quilt is wet, what should I do?"
"Why don't we go back? At least we can hide from the rain. Otherwise, we'll definitely get sick in such heavy rain."
"Mom, mom, I want to go home."
"Chief Zhang is a disaster. He has brought us to this state."
……
On the Zhang family's side, there were bursts of noise, complaints, and cries... but no matter how many or how loud the sounds were, they were drowned out by the heavy rain.
The hour of Xu.
Wu Wu was worried about Li Lan, who hadn't returned yet. He was absent-mindedly patrolling the shelter with his men when he suddenly saw a group of five people below him, wearing bamboo hats and straw raincoats, walking up the mountain. Seeing their figures, his eyes lit up and he said, "They're one of us."
After saying that, he ran down the mountain alone. When he arrived in front of the leader, he bowed and saluted, saying respectfully, "Sir."
