Chapter 183: Building a High Wall to Prevent Spread
The villagers who left the village actually took advantage of the night to sneak into the valley, but fortunately, Mo Xuzhao's sharp eyes saw a figure quietly hiding along the foot of the mountain.
A loud shout woke up the napping guards and panicked the smuggling villagers. They chased after them and drove them back to the village.
As a result, the villagers guarding the mountain pass raised their vigilance.
When Mo Xuzhao told his father what happened at night the next day, Alayanzong heard it and made a suggestion:
"Since the villagers are smuggling, there is also a possibility that the displaced people will be smuggling. No matter how tightly guarded they are, they will eventually be sloppy, and it is very likely that someone will succeed in smuggling. Even if only one plague patient enters Dole Bone Dream City, all our defenses will be in vain. ”
Mo Sushan Ying was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, "Yes, why didn't you think of this? But how can you ensure that nothing goes wrong?"
The Mosuyama Eagle asked Mosuzhao to make people light torches at the mountain pass at night, illuminating the place as if it were day, and anyone who passed by there could see it clearly.
When Alayanzong made his evening rounds, he found that the villagers on duty were napping there, and did not notice his arrival in time.
Alayanzong thought that after all, people's energy is limited, and long-term duty will definitely be slack and tired, even if the night here is as bright as day, if no one finds the stowaways in time, then the gate guards and simple roadblocks will also be useless.
How can no one get through even when the guards are tired?
When Alayanzong looked up, the mountains were so steep and even so high that it was impossible for people to climb over them, except in this valley...... Unless there is no valley – it's also a mountain.
Plug it!
Plug up the valley and no one will be able to get by.
Looking at the mountain pass, which is less than fifty meters wide, Alayanzong has a way.
He also saw the stacks of bricks stacked not far west of the pass for the house he intended to build. Any bricks can build a dozen houses, and a high wall on this pass is enough.
With this in mind, Alayanzong hurriedly rushed back to the courtyard of the old village chief's house, woke up the Mosushan Eagle who was still in the bed, and said his thoughts.
Mo Sushan Ying slapped his thigh, "This idea is too good! Save dozens of people from guarding where day and night, and they will be exhausted, and they may not be able to guard it." If the high wall is erected, just send a few men to watch over it. As long as no one destroys it, it is completely possible to stop people who want to pass through here. ”
Without further ado, the next day the old village chief gathered more than 200 people, and almost all the healthy adult men of the village arrived, and built a wall at the mountain pass with tools.
There was a lot of strength in numbers, and in less than a day, a ten-meter-high wall was built. To enter the mountain pass from here, unless he flies over, or has excellent light skills.
Looking at this high wall, the Mosu Mountain Eagle finally put his heart in his stomach. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, dozens of people are still arranged to stick to it day and night, and the lights are still bright at night. In this way, the night watchman would be fine even if he took a nap.
When they saw that the high wall blocked the way to Dorbone Dream City, the outcasts were completely dead. I had to tell the old village chief that if the village was willing to take them in, they would live here temporarily. If they are unwilling to take them in, they will turn back south and find another place to stay.
The old village chief Mo Sushan Ying's reply was to go or stay and follow their own wishes. Stay to take care of food and housing, and if you leave, you will send dry food.
Most of them stayed, and only a few left the village.
Those who stayed were reluctant to be displaced any longer, and those who left the village were because they saw that the sick were dying and that the village was not safe.
With the same mentality, some villagers dragged their families away from the south of the village.
People have their own ambitions and cannot be forced, although the villagers usually obey the old village chief's words in big and small things, but it is difficult to be consistent in the test of life and death.
The old village chief, who is kind and kind-eyed, always smiling and cheerful on weekdays, has been carrying an indelible sad look during this time.
Although his decision can save Dorbone Dream City from the infection of the plague, the villagers who do not need to support the mountain will suffer great losses.
Looking at the high wall of the mountain pass, it suddenly occurred to the mountain eagle that this high wall can only block those cowards, and if a strong person comes to break through, it may not be able to stop it.
Knowing of his worries, Alayanzong was also shocked, so he moved out of the old village chief's house and lived in a makeshift shack next to the mountain pass.
He's going to be here himself.
During the day he treats patients, and at night he is on duty with the guards. Of course, this did not delay him from using the evening to meditate and practice. With his extremely keen hearing, he could hear everything that was going on outside.
Other guardians can also sleep for a while.
Ula no Peach learned that he had gone to the mountain pass at night, and insisted on coming here to accompany him. Alayanzong couldn't screw her, so he built a tent for her.
When Allah heard about it, he was also coming, so Alayanzong let him live with him.
Seeing that the three of them came to the mountain pass to guard, Mo Xushan Ying was very moved, and said that after the epidemic passed, he would prepare bricks and tiles for them as soon as possible and build a new house as soon as possible.
Alayanzong said that it didn't matter if it was earlier or later, but the most joyful thing was the peach of Ula, and Allah did not say no.
The measures taken to block the mountain pass by the wall did have an effect.
Several more groups of homeless people came to the Mosu Mountain, and when they saw that the road had been blocked, they dispelled the idea of going to Dorbone Dream City.
But there was no room for them in the village, and no one in the villagers' homes was willing to let them live for fear of contracting the plague.
Now it's summer, and it's not cold at night in the wilderness, so many homeless people have settled outside the village. When it was daytime, I went to drink the rice porridge arranged by the old village chief.
There are more and more displaced people, and the food of the old village chief's family is going down quickly, and even the surplus food of other villagers in the village is getting less and less. The crops are not ripe, and the autumn harvest season has not yet arrived. Eating became a problem.
This has created a food crisis!
Alayanzong suggested that the old village chief use the stockpile of dried fish to feed the homeless people, and also organize some healthy fishermen to go to the sea to fish. After all, no one knows how long this epidemic will last, and once there is no food to wrap the stomach, it will inevitably cause riots, and it will be difficult to control it at that time.
Again, the old village chief took his advice. Every day, more than a dozen people go out to sea to fish, and they can always replenish some food, which makes those displaced people stable.
But there are still more and more displaced people, and the reason why they stay here is because they know that the epidemic in the south is more serious, and there is only a dead end to go back.
Even after the villagers left the village, they walked south for a few days before returning home.
Among all the villagers and displaced people, there are still people who are sick, and there is no other way for Alayanzong to do so than to insist on treatment. Because those preventive methods are difficult to implement effectively when the only purpose is to satisfy hunger with food. But he's been doing his best.
Suddenly, one day, after returning to a patient, he was walking out into the street when he heard someone greet him from afar.
"Brother Yanzong! Brother Yanzong, it turns out that you are here, and I finally found you!"
A crisp shout like a silver bell came, and the Alayan Sect was so familiar, evoking memories that he could not forget for a long time.
Looking for prestige, a blue-green figure flashed, like a colorful auspicious cloud floating around, and it arrived in front of him in an instant.
The golden braids, the glittering silver earrings, and the delicate facial features, the graceful and vigorous figure, like a rabbit, jumped in front of his eyes.
Although we have been together for a short time, the image that is deeply imprinted in my mind is so profound, and now it has appeared again.
Who is it if it's not Fujino no Ran?
