There is no shortage of food for Mei Niang's family, and it is enough for the whole family to eat for two years. There are also a few pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, not to mention in the village, even if you look at the entire Dinggu Town, there is no one who can live as well as his family.

But seeing that many people's food in the village was washed away by the water, they couldn't just take care of their own homes, they were all neighbors, although there were some small frictions, they couldn't get over it regardless of their conscience.

When the rain stops, we will see which food is washed away, and send some food from house to house, although it is not much, it is good not to starve to death in the present, as for the future...... You can only take one step at a time.

In these years, people's hope for life is always slim, and it seems that no one will have too much hope for the future.

Soon after the water receded, Jiang Chuye wanted to go to the town to have a look, Shi Hai still didn't know what was going on, although the terrain of the town was higher than Baohe Village, but the heavy rain came too quickly, and many refugees did not have houses to live in, and they didn't know how to shelter from the rain when the heavy rain came.

The storage of grain is also something he wants to know, if it is not stored properly, it will be washed away by water...... Without food, it will be difficult to manage the refugees that have been accumulated, and the town may already be in chaos.

With Shi Hai's temperament, he will never give up any refugee, as long as there is a mouthful of food for him, he will never let the refugees who defect to him starve.

For such a Shi Hai, Jiang Chuye and Mei Niang also admired it very much, although they didn't want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of various imperial courts, they could help as much as they could.

In addition, it is to use this excuse to transport some food back to the village, and it is impossible to let the people who have no food in the village really starve to death, although they have not lived in the village for a long time, Jiang Chuye likes such a simple and simple life very much.

Mei Niang also wanted to go to the town to see Erya and Yufeng, the last time she went back to the town, she didn't think to ask them about their situation because she was in a hurry at home, and after a heavy rain, she was very worried.

Jiang Chuye refused to take her, first, the situation in the town was unknown, and he didn't want her to take risks, this time was different from the last trip to Yongcheng, Chongzhijing was the prince's person, even if Yongcheng was controlled by the prince, Chongzhijing could keep her safe.

Moreover, he and Yun Xuan are still in the space, and they can come out to protect them at any time.

This time you will likely be dealing with thousands of crazy refugees who will not listen to anyone's orders once they become frenzied.

What if she had a legion of lions? Is it possible to kill refugees when they are in danger?

Besides, thinking about the incident of agreeing to Mei Niang and Chong Zhijing to sneak into Yongcheng, Jiang Chu regretted it after thinking about it after the night, in case Su Huanxi asked people to shoot arrows at that time, Mei Niang couldn't hide in the space for the first time, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

No matter what Mei Niang said, Jiang Chuye just refused to agree, she could predict that the world would be unstable in the future, and Jiang Chuye would not take her around on adventures again, Mei Niang's heart was really sweet and bitter.

Yun Xuan was also left behind to protect his family, after this flood, the number of refugees will increase significantly, maybe one day the refugees who are desperate to survive will rush into Baohe Village, even if the name of Baohe Village is outside, they may not be able to resist.

Before leaving, Jiang Chuye filled a few storage jade bracelets, if possible, he still hoped to save more people, in the town, outside the town, in ten miles and eight townships, and even ...... National!

The treasury has been empty for a long time, and the imperial court cannot count on disaster relief, not only that, but the taxes that have been increased year after year have become more fierce like tigers and wolves, and there are people living in poverty in many places who have revolted, and the country has no time to take care of itself, and has no energy to relieve disasters.

He did his best to save as much as he could, and saved as much as he could while protecting himself and his family.

Of course, if you want to save more people, you can only think about it, once you really do it too much, it will hinder the eyes of too many people, and his own position in the DPRK and China will be very embarrassing, even if he releases his military power, he can't reassure everyone.

If he does too much during a sensitive period, he will only let himself be suspected of boundlessly, and not only will he not face the emperor's commendation, but he will be wiped out nine times out of ten.

In troubled times, a general with the ability to defy the sky has the strength to pull the emperor off the horse.

The Emperor would never allow any instability that threatened his throne, and even his relatives and friends could fall victim to power.

If you want to save people, you can only sneak around and make small fights.

Fortunately, after various natural disasters, the traffic was blocked, and the news was not well communicated, which was a lot more convenient for Jiang Chuye's actions, as long as he was more careful, no one would suspect him.

Jiang Chu drove the black wind to the town to find Shi Hai at night, and some people only thought that he was in the town's captain's mansion to help him, so they would not suspect it.

After the flood, the houses in the village were seriously damaged, some were directly washed away by the water, and some were not washed away.

When the sun rises and the land dries, the whole village goes up the mountain to cut down the trees, digs the soil, and starts to repair the house together.

The materials for repairing the house are ready, and before the construction has started, Shi Hai has already sent a team of more than a dozen craftsmen to enter Baohe Village with the materials, and the first to start repairing is the old house of the Jiang family.

It is said that it is repaired, but it is better to say that it has been renovated inside and out, and the materials are the best.

Everyone in the village was red-eyed, but they all received the benefits of the Yun family and the Jiang family, but there was no irresponsible remark.

These craftsmen who entered the village were originally from the town, and since the beginning of the drought, they have not had much work, and they can't eat enough, who is in the mood to repair and build houses?

Anyway, there are a lot of people who starve to death every day, and the house like the whole family starves to death will not be vacant, and it is good to have a house to live in at this time, who will think about whether there is a dead person in the house.

Unexpectedly, since the town began to give porridge, a large number of refugees flocked into the town, the town was crowded at the same time, their work has increased, although only the school captain's office came forward to provide food for the family every day, but compared to those refugees two bowls of porridge or steamed buns a day, their life is the best, from time to time there can be a bowl of porridge or vegetable meat buns.

Many people who are too old to marry a daughter-in-law also marry a daughter-in-law, which really makes them happy for a few days.

Until a few days ago, Captain Shi gathered all their craftsmen who knew how to repair houses together to supervise others to build the kind of big houses for the town, not only did the food level improve, but the work was not tired, and finally life had a head.

Although the heavy rain washed away the big houses that had been built before, the houses where the grain was put in the town were washed away, the grain was also washed away along the water, and the ones that were not washed away were also soaked in the water, and even most of the materials used to build the houses were washed away.

But the lieutenant promised that as long as he was there, he would never let the people in the town starve to death or freeze to death, and even those who came to him would be treated equally.

This courage is admirable, and this benevolence is touching, so when Captain Shi found them and asked them to help repair the house in Baohe Village, they refused to be left behind, even if they didn't have any wages, they were proud to be able to do things for Captain Shi.

Since it was someone sent by Shi Hai, and he was repairing a house for the Jiang family, and he was at Meiniang's house for dinner, Jiang Chuye asked people to transport back hundreds of stone rice noodles in the name of Shi Hai, which looked like it was prepared for craftsmen and villagers.

As for the place to live, Mei Niang's family really has no choice, and they are still scattered in the village to live in the end.

Mei Niang's family killed a pig, every day pork stew, steamed bread and rice are enough, the craftsmen are even more energetic, and even every day at noon they will let some women come to the house to help, make more meals for the workers to share from house to house, so that each family can save time to do some work, and can save a lot of rations.

It took only three days for the Jiang family's old house to be renovated, and in the following days, these craftsmen went from house to house to help the villagers repair the house.

No one in the villagers mentioned the problem of artisans eating, and Meiniang's family was not stingy, they all knew that it was not those villagers who wanted to take advantage of food, but they were also powerless, and at this time, the conditions of Meiniang's family were good, and they were not bad for those rations.

Besides, Jiang Chuye's intention to let people send rice noodles and pigs back is also obvious, and there are craftsmen's shares in it.

The houses are picked to repair the houses that can be repaired in a short period of time to start repairing, and those houses that basically have no repair value are put aside, and it is not a few days before the winter.

Generations have lived in the village, and no one can bear to see other people's families die of cold and starvation without a house.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and with the joint efforts of craftsmen and villagers, most of the houses have been repaired, and winter has not yet arrived, which is a good phenomenon.

The men of Meiniang's family all went to help repair the house, and the women were actively preparing things for the winter at home, except for Jiang Chuye, who would send some things back from time to time, people did not come back once.

Mei Niang is so strange, it is said that he usually goes out once, even if it is far away, he will come back once in ten days and a half months at the latest, and he has never been back for so long like this, and I don't know what he is busy outside.

Fortunately, I often get news of him, so that people are not worried, but I can't see anyone, Mei Niang has to admit that she misses it very much.

Every day, the Li family and the two concubines took Miss Meiniang and followed the women in the village up the mountain to chop firewood to prepare for heating in winter, and they didn't have the heart to think about Jiang Chuye's affairs when they were busy.

In previous years, there were still some straws that could be burned, but this year's dry buds have not grown, and the dry straws are not enough for livestock to chew, and there is no leftover at all.

Even because many families have no material to feed their livestock, they see that the animals are losing weight day by day, and they still kill and eat meat in the end.

There is a lot of firewood to chop, Li and He keep cutting on the mountain, Mei Niang and Miss Yueniang keep going home, and at night they cut more and the four of them go home together.

After cutting for ten days in a row, the high firewood pile at home was almost enough to burn for a winter.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Baohe Village, and when chopping firewood, they all know that the road protects the water and soil, and they will not only cut down the back slope, but will not cause soil erosion.

But who cares about that? In the summer, the fire not only burned five villages, but also several mountains, and those who had been cutting wood in those mountains had no firewood to cut, so they set their sights on Baohe Village.

Due to its remote location, few people came here in previous years, but the trees all over the mountain grew luxuriantly, which attracted a lot of woodcutters.

At first, there were only a few people, but after the news slowly spread, a large number of people poured into Baohe Village.
