On the fourth day, the food was available, the medicinal materials were available, the situation in Fang County improved instantly, and the heavy rain was still falling, but the hearts of the people were gradually healed, and under the intimate care of the Yamen, they recovered their spirits and changed their previous decadent mood.

The happiest person is Wei Yuankun, as the county magistrate, seeing that the people in the jurisdiction are not desperate, and gradually have the spirit, the mood naturally improves, and he goes to inspect every day, and must implement every detail, and cannot let a single person die in Fang County.

If they die outside, he can't control them, and he can't save them, and inside Fang County, he must not let them face death, it's just one requirement.

In the past four days, everyone has tensed their nerves, either expecting the heavy rain to stop quickly, or busy with this, busy with that, and also want the collapse of the houses in the county that have been in disrepair for a long time, disperse the people in those dilapidated houses, and arrange them in the newly built houses, as well as the water on the streets, and the mountains outside that collapse and sink because of the rain, all of which need to be carefully observed.

In general, there are not many casualties, this is inside Fang County, outside Fang County, it is another scene, the dead are dead, the injured are injured, the sick are sick, there are very few people who can survive, most of them are not hit by the disaster.

On the side of the ethnic minorities, because the She people live on the hillside, the disaster is relatively minor, only a slight landslide, which destroyed a few houses, the casualties are not heavy, but the food is gone, and everyone is praying that the heavy rain will disperse quickly.

The other ethnic minorities are not so lucky, first of all, the Dong people, who suffered heavy casualties, the mountain sloped down, buried half of the houses, many people died directly, and the rest lived on the only food they had for a year, counting the food.

The Miao side is a little better, but it is not much better, one-third, one-third of the village is gone, the people are wounded, the dead are dead, the people who can survive are some strong people, the elderly, women, children are buried a lot, and the losses are heavy.

In general, these ethnic minorities have suffered an unprecedented disaster this time, they used to wait for the rain to come, but now it is an unprecedented torrential rain, so they can only pray that the rain will stop quickly.

After this calamity, the patriarchs of the three clans gathered together, with sad faces, muffled voices, and sat at the same table, and everyone saw that their faces were sad, painful, and grief-stricken.

Lan Bo was the first to break the silence, everyone didn't speak, this is not a way, there is no solution, there will be more and more people dead, he can't sit still, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

On the left is an old man of the Miao tribe, called Wu Sixi, with a very good name and a lot of depth, he stroked his beard and pretended to be calm: "Why don't we move?" This place is no longer suitable for us to live in, and I am afraid that if there is another heavy rain, my Miao sons will be gone. ”

Migrate?

Displaced?

This is not a trivial matter, the two hesitated, they couldn't imagine that Wu Sixi's solution was this, where else could they go if they left here? Going somewhere else to be bullied? It's hard to get a foothold here, but you have to suffer, this .............

"No, we can't go, if you want to go by yourself, I won't go."

It was Hu Sangui, the patriarch of the Dong tribe, who spoke out, not Wu Sangui, who was old, his temper was still so hot, and he opened his mouth to roar, his roar caused Wu Sixi's dissatisfaction, you are not satisfied, you can say it slowly, is it necessary to slap the table like this?

"You don't want to go, no one forces you to go, it's just that you really have to be so ruthless, watching your sons die one by one, ruthless, ruthless guys."

This sentence is a personal attack, and the short-tempered Hu Sangui is no longer at it, are you mocking and despising me.

"Smack."

The big hand slapped the table and stood up, and at the same time Wu Sixi stood up, staring at Hu Sangui with provocative sparks in his eyes, the battle was about to break out, Lan Bo couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't come here to watch them quarrel, but to find a solution.

If the quarrel was useful, he would have cut the two of them a long time ago, would he wait until now?

Both hands pressed on the shoulders of the two, and they were stunned to press them down, and the two saw that Lan Bo made a move, and sat down obediently, they are not that kind of children, they don't know that the situation is critical, and they are so angry because they can't suppress it in their hearts, and they want to vent it, but no one of them is willing to take a step back, which has caused the current situation.

No, Lan Bo made a move at the right time, the two of them went down the steps, sullen, neither of them birded each other, Lan Bo spoke: "How about I wait to go to the yamen?" ”

"Nope."

"Impossible."

As soon as the words fell, the two people who had just sat down stood up again, yelling angrily, Lan Bo was not angry, the reaction of the two was as he expected, he stood up, pressed the shoulders of the two again, and explained: "The situation I am waiting for, I think you two know better than me, my She clan can hold on for many days, but it can't survive for a month, let alone you." ”

The She tribe didn't suffer much damage, those grains could only last for a little time, not to mention the other two tribes, according to their situation, whether they could survive a week was a question, he said this, the two of them were a little relieved, but they still disagreed.

"What kind of character are the people of the Yamen, I don't think you don't know, taking refuge in them will only give them a greater opportunity to exploit us, if we hadn't been in the same breath before, they couldn't help us for the time being, how to take the initiative to take refuge in them, that is not sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, is there in and out?"

"No, absolutely not, Brother Lan, it's not okay to say anything this time, it's not that we don't give you face, we'd rather starve to death than trust the people of the government, you don't need to say much, we absolutely don't agree."

Tired of the torture of the people in the government, they will not be able to take refuge in them, this is their bottom line, no matter what Lan Bo says, they will not let go.

"Hey."

Lan Bo sighed, in the past, those dog officials stood in the way, in addition to exploiting them, they were exploiting them, so that they had five ways to go, and most of the silver they earned and most of the grain they harvested were taken away by them, leaving only a little for them to live secretly, especially after Xiao Dingtian came, he completely made all the ethnic minorities hate him, and followed with the official yamen.

It can be said that Wei Yuankun invisibly helped Xiao Dingtian and others carry the black cauldron, it is still very heavy and very black, Lan Bo knows that they refuse to let go, and he can't help but do it, because he knows that Li Zhou is the master in Fang County, and they will definitely not receive that kind of treatment if they go to take refuge.

He believes that Lantian and Lanshan will not deceive him, and the sons of the She clan will not betray the She clan, he has always believed in this.

"Today's government is not the previous government, the Xiao family who exploited us has fallen, the former county commander Zhang Dabao is also dead, and now the adult who controls Fang County is Lord Wei Yuankun, I think you all know this adult, and the two old unfilial sons are also in the Yamen, we take refuge in the Yamen, they can't continue to exploit us, right?"

Speaking of Blue Mountain, Lantian, Lan Bo was proud on his face, he really didn't make a wrong decision at the beginning, it was a good thing to let them follow Li Zhou, you see, they are all people from the Yamen now, although they are not big officials, but they are also people from the Yamen.

There is Li Zhou covering them, who dares to move them, and they stand still, then he She people go to take refuge, wouldn't they also stand up, by the way, they can also help a few other ethnic minorities, they She people, Miao people, Dong people are the largest ethnic minorities here, many things are their ideas, and the rest are just to do.

Because they believe in them, they live and die together, and hold them together, so that they will not be excessively exploited by those people, which is the way of survival and inheritance of ethnic minorities.

"I can't believe this, Brother Lan, I know that your son-in-law works in the yamen, but he is not a big official after all, just a small officer and soldier, I can't fight for the life of my son-in-law, please forgive me."

Hu Sangui resolutely did not change his words, even so, he didn't believe in the yamen, he understood the dirty thoughts of those officials in the yamen, and he had tried, and he didn't dare to joke with the lives of the clansmen, Wu Sixi nodded, he agreed with Hu Sangui's words, those people are not credible, absolutely not credible.

"Brother Lan, it's not that I can't wait to give you face, but I really don't dare to take risks, it's not worth it, you never know what those people will think, how they think, one thing on the surface, one thing behind the scenes, you have also tried their cunning, Brother Lan, you can't be blinded by a little interest, you have to see the facts."

Bitterly persuaded Lan Bo, the two of them couldn't watch him plunge into the trap, it was a place of no return, and he couldn't go!

Lan Bo shook his head and smiled bitterly, Lan Shan and Lan Tian still believed it, Lan Tian might be deceived, Lan Shan was not such a talk-free person, compared with a few people, he chose the former.

"There is no way to believe it or not, my She tribe has decided to temporarily move to Fang County, here is temporarily shelved, and when the situation allows, my She tribe will come back."

I don't know how long this heavy rain will last, maybe there will be a mudslide tonight, then wouldn't all the people suffer, he can't afford to fight, he would rather suffer the exploitation of those people than death.

"Hey, Brother Lan, you have a good trip."

Hu Sangui hugged his fists and left, and Wu Sixi bowed down and said, "Brother Lan, the Tang people can't be trusted, why do you bother?" Ay! ”

Following the departure, Lan Bo looked at their departing backs, with a helpless smile on his face, what else could he do besides doing that, he couldn't watch his people being buried, that was the only way out.

As the patriarch, what you have to do is to protect the villagers as much as possible, so that the inheritance can continue to continue, and as for the afterlife, let the descendants say it.
