Chapter 45: Collapse

"Oh no, something happened, the houses in the West Side were crushed by the snow, and several houses collapsed. ”

Jiayi and they were playing cards, and suddenly a servant came to report it.

"How's it going?" said Flor as he stood up, and Kaichi followed suit, listening to see what was going on.

The servant who came in didn't really know the situation, but when he heard this, he came over to relay it, and he stammered: "I, I don't know very well, but the lord has passed, and it seems that it is still more serious." ”

Flower looked back at Kalima, who stood up and said, "Go over and see if you can help." ”

Jia Yi also threw away the cards in his hand and said, "Let's go over and have a look, just in this weather, the temperature will only be colder when the snow stops, and you will freeze to death if you stay outside." ”

Jia Yi didn't want to abandon this game because he caught a traitor, absolutely, it's just that the lives of people outside are at stake, yes, he is such a noble person.

Flower and Jiayi went to the West End together, and after the snow stopped, everyone began to clear the snow, and now the road conditions in the town were much better than when the snow was heavy, and the road was still smooth, and the two of them sat in a carriage, and after a bumpy road, they soon reached the West End.

The two got out of the carriage and soon reached the lord's side, and Flower was the first to ask, "Father, how is it?

Lord Sainsbury turned his head and saw Jia Yi and Flower slightly stretching his brows, but he still said with a solemn expression: "More than a dozen houses have collapsed, and the houses here are not very strong, so they can easily collapse when they are pressed by the snow, and it seems that there may be houses in the back that will be crushed." I've already ordered someone to help remove the snow from the roof. ”

"What about these people who don't have a house to live in? If they don't have a place to live, I'm afraid they won't survive a few people tonight. ”

Jia Yi looked at the person who was huddled in the corner and said with some concern.

They were thinly clothed, and even if it was still afternoon, when the temperature was theoretically at its highest, their lips were purple and they were shivering.

For the poor, there are not many clothes to keep out the cold, and the house is already their most powerful tool to protect themselves from the cold.

Sainsbury frowned slightly, he couldn't think of where to place these people for a while, it was impossible to let them freeze to death like this, if he didn't care, his reputation as a lord would probably fall to the bottom.

It's better if you don't come, but after you come, you let these people freeze to death to give a worse impression, it can only be regarded as indifferent, so even if it is cold-blooded, and the people are actually a kind of wealth, and the territory with a larger population is often more powerful.

"Is there anything you can do?" said Flor. ”

Kaichi hadn't thought about such a thing, even if he had sympathy, he hadn't thought about letting these people live in his own home, let alone hoping that the lord would vacate a few rooms to house them.

Jia Yi thought for a while and said, "I'll deal with this, you go find someone to boil water first, and then put some ginger slices and peppercorns in it to drive them away from the cold." ”

After a pause, he took out another jar of maple sugar crystals from the storage bracelet and said, "You can also take these sugars and add them to them to replenish their energy, at this time, the temperature is low, and they need to replenish their physical strength." ”

At this time, sugar was a luxury, especially sugar that had crystallized into lumps, but for Flor, a hidden big man, sugar was nothing, let alone for Jiayi, if he wanted to, he could make tons of maltose, although it was not as sweet as maple sugar, but it was also sugar.

Flower took it and nodded, and went to find someone to set up a pot and light the fire.

Sainsbury looked at Kaichi and asked, "How are you going to place these people?"

There are a lot of people who have been crushed to the collapsed houses, and some people's houses are not very good even if the houses are not collapsed, and there is a shortage of firewood in the town on snowy days, and the people who live here have no work to do for a few days, and I am afraid that there is no money left to buy food.

With the combination of cold and hunger, I am afraid that there are not many people who can survive this winter.

Jia Yi said calmly: "It's very simple, just help them build a house, although there are many people, but it is warmer to squeeze it." ”

He walked around the neighborhood and came to the edge of the town's wall, which was made of thick logs, and then pasted a thick layer of mud on top of it, and when it was hard, it was like cement with steel inside, which was very hard, and the walls of ordinary people were not so thick.

Kaichi found a clearing at the base of the wall, used a spell to push away the snow on the ground, and then raised his hands, only to see that the ground immediately rose up and became a high foundation, and he used a spell to harden the foundation.

Then he raised the earthen walls and closed them against the walls of the town, forming the walls of a large house. Then he went to the collapsed house and removed the wood from the collapsed house.

A papleur cowering next to him opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at Kaichi and the lord beside him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Kaichi noticed the other party's desire to speak again, chuckled at the other party and said, "Don't worry, the wood lord who took out of your house will make it up for you." ”

Then he whispered, "And, maybe you won't need it in the future." ”

It's just that this sentence is very small, and even the viscount standing next to Jiayi didn't hear it clearly.

Pumped the beams, Jiayi erected pillars in the house, and then erected the beams up, and finally covered the roof with thatch, although the thatch is not the most suitable, Jiayi's craftsmanship is not good, but the cover is quite thick, the waterproof is good, at least when it rains or snows, it will not leak down.

In just three or four hours, Jiayi built a boxy house, one of which leaned against the wall of the town, which was not only to save the process, but also because the foot of the wall was more open, so it was more convenient to build a house.

The roof of this house is not herringbone, but half a herringbone, like a right-angled triangle that stands up, but the slope is not large, not that Jiayi doesn't want to make the slope more exaggerated, like a Gothic roof, but the height of the town's wall is not enough, so the slope can only be slowed down, which makes Jiayi feel a little regretful, and it is not perfect.

However, Jiayi is not a Virgo person, and he doesn't know how skilled he is in making do with Dafa.

By the time the house was built, there was already a circle of people standing in front of the house, most of them were poor people who had just been crushed into the house, and there were several guards brought by the viscount, all of whom looked at Jia Yi with stunned eyes.

Especially the circle of poor people, looking at Jia Yi's eyes, they couldn't help but be afraid, and when they saw Jia Yi coming, they couldn't help but bow their heads. This is the first time they have seen the legendary "sorcerer", and they are afraid that "if they look at each other, their souls will be pulled into the abyss".

However, Jia Yi has been out to study for many years, and he usually goes deep and simple, so there are not many people who know him here, most of them are the viscount's guards, and his tone is still somewhat guaranteed.

These poor people had just drunk the hot ginger soup, but now it was a little warmer, and their faces looked a little better, especially the ginger soup was also added with sugar, which replenished their physical strength and made them feel a trace of temperature in the cold.

Jia Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to the house: "Okay, let them in, if you stay outside for a long time, even if you don't freeze to death, you will get chilblains." Flor, you'd better get them some firewood in and light a fire for them. ”

When Jia Yi built the house, he built a fireplace on the side wall, so that they could make a fire to keep warm, and also to export the smoke to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning in the end, and all the people in the house were covered with wooden tiles.

At that time, Jiayi didn't know how to pass it on, and the wizard built a horror house, and everyone who lived in it would die?
