Kuai Yong and another colleague each used a small bamboo to support the raft, because it was the first time to actually operate, at the beginning a little hurried, rampage, but after a while they got the essentials, and the raft smoothly rowed along the road towards the mountain.

When they were sent to the mountain, they saw that nearly ten families had already arrived on the mountain, just as the family that Kuai Yong met said, cutting branches and preparing to make wooden houses.

Although it didn't rain today, all the dead branches that could be found were soaked, and they had to be roasted with fire to force out all the moisture in them before they could burn. The first people had already built fires in twos and threes, roasting dead branches and some freshly cut grass.

They took a turn and found that although they did not have all the tools, they had erected the wooden house quite decently, with a solid wood base and walls, and a thick layer of dried grass on the roof to ensure that water would not leak in when it rained. I also made a bed out of wood! It's a little simple, but it's practical. The only inconvenience is that there is no way to make many rooms, and a large family can only squeeze into the same wooden house and the same bed, but now is an extraordinary period, and it can only be settled.

Kuai Yong and they had been out for a long time, and after seeing that they had settled down without any problem, he took people back to the halfway point of Zhuangzi with the raft to put it away, and then returned to Zhuangzi to have lunch. The reason why the raft was put so high was not because they were afraid that someone would steal it, but because they were afraid that the water level would continue to rise and the raft would be flooded, and they would have to run down to find it.

After returning to Zhuangzi, people from the other two directions had already returned one step ahead of them, and Kuai Yong saw that the chief housekeeper Liufu was also in the house, and several people were surrounding him and saying something, so he responded and said, "Wait until I talk to Song Gongzi and Miss Su about this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem......

Kuai Yong and the others felt a little curious, but they didn't ask much. Don't ask around, it's the rule in this Zhuangzi, the first day they came in, Liufu gave a lecture, what they know, they will naturally explain to them, if they don't say it, they don't need to know.

In fact, what they are talking about is not that Liufu didn't want to tell them, but because the dozen or so long-term workers asked him to do this, Kuai Yong and they didn't need it.

Liufu went to the inner courtyard to find Song Chen and Su Miao: "Song Gongzi, Miss Su, today the long-term worker in Zhuangzi wants to entrust me with something......

"What?" Su Miao saw that Luofu was a little difficult to speak, and asked thoughtfully.

"Is it so, aren't these long-term laborers hired in the surrounding villages? Most of them still have relatives in the village, and now many villages are flooded, and they have nowhere to go, so they heard that the government has opened a special place to take in the victims in the main city of Lily of the Valley, so they plan to go to the city. Lukfook explained in detail the ins and outs of the incident, "Croppers used to keep a season's rations, and they still had a small portion of the rations left. Seeing that there may be little hope for this season's harvest and no food for the next season, they don't want to take the rest of the grain away, and want to borrow a place in the village to store it first, and then there is really no way to use these rations......"

"No problem! You can just designate a courtyard on the outer courtyard for them to use, anyway, there is a place. Song Chen didn't care about the authenticity, "It's just that when the grain is delivered, let them first weigh it, and register what varieties and how much weight each family has left, so that the people who store the grain will draw a pledge, so as not to have any disputes in the future." ”

"Yes, I'll get back to them right away."

Liufu walked away, wanting to inform those long-term workers immediately, but Song Chen still had something to ask him.

"By the way, did any of the people who went out to guard the foot of the mountain encounter anything unusual today? Are there many people planning to go into the city? Song Chen asked. Those farmers are old-fashioned, and they will not fail to see that the rain is only a temporary break, and at most it will rain again in the evening, and today is the best time to go to the city or move to other places.

Kuai Yong said that he met a family who wanted to go up the mountain to live temporarily, and they sent the family to the mountain, and by the way, there were more than a dozen families on the mountain! Either they didn't want to go into the city, or they dragged their families to walk with them, so they simply stayed here and guarded. "When Liufu was in the outer courtyard before, he had already heard in detail the return of the three people who went out today," Bian Kang and Yu Lin saw that many families were going in the direction of Lily of the Valley City, and there was not much food left, probably considering that there were grain shops in the city to buy grain, and they could also find something to subsidize! ”

"On a rainy day, a makeshift house on the mountain can't live for long, right?" Su Miao knows best whether this is feasible, "If it is a sunny day to live for a period of time, then there is no problem, but on this rainy day, I can't even find a place to cook, and the branches are wet, how can I live?" And there are wild beasts in the mountains, and now the weather is not good, no wonder these beasts don't run around, and if they can't break into one in the cold, can they handle it? ”

According to Kuaiyong, the families worked together to build a large 'kitchen', and at night each family took turns to go out to keep vigil and dry the dead branches they collected. At that time, a large pot is used to cook rice, and each family is provided with rice according to the population, and it is put together to cook...... As long as there are no flash floods, there should be no problem. ”

"In that case, let's let them try it first." In this regard, Song Chen's thoughts are a bit the same as Liufu, if it is not really necessary, it is better not to accept people into Zhuangzi, this is for fear that it will be out of control, and people will gather here, and their actions will not be so convenient, and secondly, the government in Lily of the Valley will arrange people to be responsible for disaster relief and taking in the people, and they don't need to overstep their responsibilities.

They have stayed here for so long and have been preparing for so long, in fact, to stabilize the price of food. Over the years, the people have some surplus money in their hands, plus the relief grain from the imperial court, if the price of grain is stable, it will not be difficult to survive this season's disaster. Moreover, the four grain stores they set up in the city also had other considerations besides collecting grain, but they were not ready to come in handy for a while......

In the evening, the rain began to fall again. Su Miao pulled Song Chen and quietly ran around the mountain, and found that the estimation of those people was still insufficient, the rainy forest was too humid, they didn't bring enough things, the wooden house couldn't be fired, and although the "kitchen" was covered on the head and around, it couldn't stand the water flow underground, and this trend made it extremely difficult to make the fire. The most important thing is that if the rain keeps falling, those people can only be trapped in the wooden hut and listen to the sound of the rain and watch the water flow, and they will not be able to go anywhere, so they will get sick.

After going back, Su Miao discussed a plan with Song Chen, and found Liufu the next morning: "It's not a way for those people to live in the mountains like this." Otherwise, you can find someone to talk to them and ask them if they would like to move to Zhuangzi. If they move in, they can be provided with three meals, but they need to accept the arrangement and do some work to make it happen. Of course, there isn't much to do at the moment, so you can write it down first, and then let them make up for it when the work in the field is done. ”

"If they don't want to come to Zhuangzi, then we can arrange a raft and send them to the city. Living in that wooden house in this kind of weather, the humidity is very heavy, and it is easy to contract rheumatism, and when it rains and wets in the future, you will get sick, and your joints will be swollen and painful, and it will be difficult to move. And it's raining so hard that the little animals in the mountains can't hide from it, and when the beasts are hungry, they run out, and it would be terrible if they ran to the area where they lived! ”

As soon as Liufu heard it, he felt that Song Chen's method was wonderful, which could not only put an end to the situation that Zhuangzi would take in a group of people for nothing, but also not let them breed a dependence mentality, all the gains were obtained by labor, and he agreed immediately. When he turned around, he arranged for Kuai Yong and another person to go up the mountain to talk to those people about it.

The first thing Kuai Yong went to find was the family he sent up the mountain at that time. The head of that family is called Zou Sheng, and as soon as he heard the two methods put forward by Kuai Yong, he immediately chose the former one. They stayed near the village, on the one hand, it was not easy to get to Lily of the Valley City, and on the other hand, they also had a little hope, hoping that after the water receded, they would try their best to rescue the rice in the field, and if they went to Lily of the Valley City, it would be equivalent to giving up completely. On the other hand, the farmer is not idle, and it is reasonable to use work to obtain food, even if it is to make up for it later, then come to help in addition to work, anyway, it is much more cost-effective to exert effort than to go to the city to buy grain with money. According to their experience, the price of grain in the city may have skyrocketed by this time, and with the money in their hands, it may not be enough to last until the next harvest.

After Zou Sheng and Kuai Yong talked, they went out next to each other to call people, and one person from each family gathered in the big kitchen, and then asked Kuai Yong to say it again. Five or six immediately decided to follow Kuai Yong back to Baiyun Villa, and three or four were uncertain, saying that they would go back to the house to discuss with their families. But it will take some time to transfer these people who have already agreed to go to Zhuangzi anyway, and they just need to take a stand before they all leave.

Kuai Yong and the others brought only one raft, and they could only bring a family back for the first time. He first brought Zou Sheng's family back, and then asked people to support the other rafts when he arrived, and when he went on the second trip, he had completely withdrawn the family that Fang had agreed to go to Zhuangzi.

At this time, the other three or four families also came over to say their decision, these families have more people, they didn't leave before because it was inconvenient on the way, and now Baiyun Villa is willing to give them a ride, they decided to go to Lily of the Valley City.
