“Burp ……How come I didn’t think the thin rice was so good before, and this nesting head, really damn fragrant ah.”
That night, has been cut off food for two days, hungry chest to back mountain bandits, finally ate a full meal, each person divided into two nesting head, a ball of pickled wild vegetables, thin rice can be open belly drink, one by one to eat to hiccups, huddled in a corner of the flood avoidance area shacks, contentedly picking up the teeth.
When the torrential rains led to flash floods, destroyed the cottage, if it is not the young master of the force of opinion, two days in advance to force the people from the cottage to transfer to the Xifeng slope on the foot, they are 100 per cent of the flash floods to the cottage buried underground. However, although thanks to the blessing of the young proprietor, they escaped, but the food stored in the cottage were all destroyed by the flash flood, they only had time to snatch out more than half of the bags of food, saving and saving, but also only lasted less than three days. By today, they had been without food for more than two days.
When the young master insisted on transferring the refugees, they were still ten thousand times more reluctant, but now that they think about it, it’s still the young master’s wisdom ah. Otherwise, they are still looking for wild vegetables in the mountains to catch bugs, hungry chest to back, sour water coming out of their mouths, how can they have today’s good day ah.
“I don’t want to go home when I’ve had enough to eat and drink. After the disaster, there is such a shelter from the wind and rain, but also can manage to eat the land, really like heaven.”
Hu Laosan patted his belly and moved his buttocks on the grass bunk to find a comfortable position.
“It’s good here, but the control is too wide. You have to wash your hands before eating, take a bath before going to bed, and you have to go to the planned latrine area in a unified manner to go to the latrine. Even the clothes we wore when we came here have to be ironed with hot water, saying something about sterilisation, you guys say it’s ridiculous, if it’s really poisoned, who would poison the clothes.”
Zhang Laosan held a straw in his mouth and leaned against a pillar supporting the shack, pulling the corners of his mouth and said.
“They said that this is a rule set by the county honourable son, heh, no wonder, these bookworms are really poor and preachy, they’ve reached this point and are still preachy as hell.”Another mountain bandit followed and chimed in.
Of course, they all spoke with their voices suppressed to avoid being heard by the local disaster victims, these people were foolishly loyal and respectful to the county honours. If they heard them say bad things about the county honourable, they would definitely break up a bunch of arguments with them.
The young proprietor in the corner of the shack who was dressed as a man, when she heard a group of mountain thieves talking about bathing before going to bed, her pretty face smeared with grass and wood ash couldn’t help but blush. She lived in a shack with the crowd, arched by a group of mountain thieves, and had a relatively private space.
For her, bathing was a problem, not washing was not yet possible, the flood shelter was supervised and inspected by a special person, because he was a woman dressed as a man, bathing with a group of lords. Although by his old man with a group of mountain bandits to occupy a shower room, guarded outside, by her alone in the inside first wash, but even so, the thought of so many people outside, she still can not help but spit at the originator of the someone.
In a flash, the night passed.
The next day, the sun once again rose from the east, and as they watched the rising sun spewing its golden splendour, people were once again filled with hope.
The rain had stopped, the floodwaters were slowly receding, and there was food and drink in the flood shelter, so how could such a day not be full of hope.
Unlike the crowd, Zhu Pingan, who got up in the morning and circled around the county and the five flood shelter areas, was a little worried.
What is worrying is the food.
Zhu Pingan in the county and the five flood avoidance area round, listened to the flood avoidance area responsible for the official report, the current Jingnan received more and more victims. The largest of the northern suburbs of the flood zone, has accommodated more than 20,000 victims, of which nearly 10,000 refugees fleeing from foreign countries, the other four flood zones, although not as bad as the northern suburbs of the flood zone, but each of the flood zones also have more than 10,000 victims, foreign victims are also almost half of the total.
These five flood shelters have more than 60,000 victims, and the number of victims fleeing from abroad has far exceeded expectations.
And that’s not all.
In addition to these five flood shelter areas, there are still 20,000 people in Jingnan County.
In this flood, compared to the following countryside, Jingnan County suffered much smaller losses. When the flood was most serious, the flood water poured into the county seat of Jingnan County is also limited, just about the level of waterlogging, more than eighty per cent of the houses in the county seat are well-preserved, collapsed and destroyed are old houses in disrepair, the people in the county seat only lost a part of their belongings, food, they were affected by a much smaller.
In addition, before the flood, Zhu Pingan ordered to repair the drainage facilities in Jingnan County. These drainage facilities came into play, and after the torrential rain stopped, it only took one day for the water to drain out of the county town.
Dredging and Mud Removal ……After another day, Jingnan County was basically rebuilt and returned to normal.
The lives of the people in the county were basically back to normal, and they had limited damage from the flood.
However, food was still in short supply.
The people in the county basically didn’t farm, they weren’t like the people in the countryside who stored a year’s worth of food, they basically didn’t store much food, similar to modern city dwellers, they all ate now and bought now.
Although they had limited damage, in terms of food, they were similar to the disaster victims outside the city, and were just as short of food.
With more than 60,000 victims (growing every moment), more than 20,000 county people, and more than 80,000 mouths waiting to be fed, they all needed about 50,000 catties of grain every day, which was a very large amount.
Moreover, according to the current situation, there are thousands of victims fleeing from abroad to Jingnan every day. Listening to the reports of the officials in charge of the flood shelter areas, each day the number of new people is more than the number of new people on the previous day.
The amount of food needed each day is increasing. The 20,000 stones of grain stored in the county office’s warehouses are really stretched to the limit.
In addition, the grain shops in the county are also limited, and the price of grain is also rising three times a day, that is why, the grain shops are not open to supply, but are limited to supply every day.
Zhu Pingan in the past few days, every day will write a request to the imperial court disaster relief, apply for food relief official documents, not a day without interruption.
But just like what Zhu Pingan predicted before, the imperial court seemed to be, approximately, really incapable of providing relief.
Zhu Pingan’s request for the court to provide disaster relief and apply for food and grass relief were all like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.
The county office warehouse storage grain is stretched to the limit, the county grain shop production is even more limited, the court rescue like a dream bubble ……At a time when everyone is full of hope, Zhu Pingan can’t help but worry about food.
Maybe this is the first world worries, after the world’s happiness and joy it.
“Report! A reply from Prefecture City!”
Just at this moment, the shouts of an errand boy came from outside.
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he could not help but look pleased, quickly getting up and shouting to the outside, “Quickly send the submission in.”
After a burst of hurried footsteps, the officer presented an official document with the great seal of Taizhou Prefecture to Zhu Pingan’s hands.
After receiving it, Zhu Pingan couldn’t wait to open it.
“……With all counties actively saving themselves.”
The last sentence after the official document was like a pot of cold water, dousing the hint of fantasy that rose in Zhu Pingan.
