People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 58 058: The flood recedes

When Cai Xiaolan appeared in front of everyone with a big bag on the left, a big bag on the right, and a big bag on her back, Wang Ji and Wang Pu just realized their ignorance.

"Xiaolan, didn't you say you were going to buy tools? Why did you bring back such big and small bags?" Cui Boyan came out to welcome him.

He has also grown up and knows how to love others.

"Let me get one!" Cui Boyan knew that he was not as strong as Cai Xiaolan, so he only wanted one.

"Thank you!"

A package of medicinal materials was gently handed over to Cui Boyan.

"It's nothing to thank, it's all a family—" The tone of the last word has changed.

The medicine package was in his hands, his face was flushed, and all the strength in his body was concentrated in his hands to hold on.

"No...not heavy!"

But the way he faltered, everyone was sweating for him.

Cui Boyan made up his mind that he might as well buy a few stone locks in the future, and exercise while studying.

"You don't know, when I entered the city today, it was like being possessed by the God of Wealth. As soon as I entered the gate, I was rewarded with money. When I came back, I also encountered a discount at the Huichun Hall. I bought a lot of medicinal materials." Cai Xiaolan smiled happily. , to share with you my strange experience.

"Xiaolan, your luck is great! You must have done good deeds in Liujiazhuang, and now God has favored you!" Cui Lushi praised.

In the evening, Cai Xiaolan was happy and made two beggar fish using the method of making beggar chicken.They also cooked corn and pumpkin porridge in a silver-plated copper pot.

Everyone was full after eating again.

……

Early the next morning, the third day of the flood, Cai Xiaolan loaded a boat full of things, including tools, iron pots, rice balls, a bag of corn, etc., and went to Liujiazhuang again.This time, she went straight to the wild temple.If you want to build a plank boat that can stand up to people, wood is too inefficient, so you have to use bamboo.

And behind the wild temple are all old bamboos.

Before the boat for picking orchids arrived, all the people in the temple came out to welcome them.

They enthusiastically waved to Cai Xiaolan, and the children shouted, "The stewed pork girl is here again!"

The task master is also happy to see them. Without them, there would be no "Number of people helping: 278/∞" on her system panel

There are only more than 700 people left to basically complete the task.

Someone came up to help Cai Xiaolan distribute the rice balls, and someone helped her unload the goods.Cai Xiaolan, on the other hand, took out a tool bag, called the men to gather together, and announced the plan to build a bamboo raft.

"This is a good idea. I've wanted to do it for a long time, but there are old bamboos behind the temple. They are so tough that it's impossible to get them out without tools." A man in the crowd said excitedly.

The others were also very excited. It had been the third day since they had been trapped in the flood. Food was delivered to them, and their bodies were all wrinkled.

"Then let's do it!" Cai Xiaolan distributed the tools to everyone.A large group of old men went to the bamboo forest behind the temple.

That murderous look, if the bamboo had grown legs, it would have scared away at this moment.

Cai Xiaolan gathered the women together and asked them to set up a large iron pot and boil a pot of water to wash it first.

"You must not drink unboiled water from now on. If you drink unclean water, you will get sick." Cai Xiaolan popularized the knowledge of epidemic prevention to them.

After doing all this, she sat on the threshold of the wild temple and sorted out the medical skills given by the system in her mind.

Bamboo rafts are built very fast.

The head and tail of the thick bamboo are cut off, and the cavity inside can support it to float on the water.The thin bamboo can be used as a material for connecting bamboo.

It didn't take long for four bamboo rafts, one foot long and three feet wide, to be made.

The crowd nominated four people with good water skills as the punters to follow Cai Xiaolan on a bamboo raft.Send the people on the roof of Liujiazhuang to the wild temple one by one.

The high ground in Yemiao could not accommodate the three hundred or so households in Liujiazhuang. Cai Xiaolan used the system to find another high ground and asked them to send a batch of people there.

People in the wild temple gathered more and more.More people are involved in the activities of building bamboo rafts.

Bamboo rafts passed through the water, and everyone on the roof was rescued.Skilled people also built a pergola to block the sun at another gathering place.

Cai Xiaolan took advantage of her free time to go home and bring another large pot and five or six bags of corn, which she handed over to the victims to make porridge themselves.

She didn't miss a chance to show her face. Among dozens of bamboo rafts, her boat was the fastest, and she had the strongest strength in the process of moving things.The red mission also completed the most basic goal.

"Number of people helping: 1036/∞"

To date, Liujiazhuang has basically overcome the disaster.Just wait for the flood to recede, and then you can clean up your old home again.

And everyone is convinced of this because the water line has dropped.

Sure enough, on the eighth day, except for the low-lying areas, most of the areas had already seen land.When everyone was cheering, only Cai Xiaolan frowned, she knew that the most testing time of human nature was coming.

No matter the dry fields or paddy fields, no matter the livestock at home or the fishing grounds, they were all washed clean in the flood.

The flood receded, leaving corpses everywhere, including human beings and animals. If these corpses were not dealt with in time, it would lead to a new disaster: plague.

"Xiaolan, thank you so much for this time!" The headmen of Liujiazhuang gathered together and invited Cai Xiaolan over.

"Hahaha, you're welcome!" Cai Xiaolan smiled boldly.

"We raised money, firstly to thank you for your help, and secondly, to buy some grain from you." The representative elected by the village chiefs asked Cai Xiaolan how to buy grain.

"I can still sell you 2 catties of grain!" Cai Xiaolan's family's 1 catties of grain have been eaten up to [-] catties in the past few days.In this way, there are more than [-] catties of grain left in her family, which cannot be less. If the next step is to go to the gate of the city to give porridge, the plan will not be carried out.

"Ah? Six thousand catties is enough!" Li Zhang was overjoyed.He is not only the head of the village appointed by the Yangzhou government, but also the elder of the Liu family village with the surname Liu. When he learned that Cai Xiaolan could sell six thousand catties of grain, he was so excited that he stopped talking.

As for money, there are more than 1000 households in Liujiazhuang, and each person has one house, which is consistent.Not a problem at all.Not long after, the old village head came with a pile of copper coins.

"Xiaolan, here are eight copper coins and five taels of gold!"

"That's too much." Cai Xiaolan said no.When buying it, it cost 9 yuan a bucket, not to mention that she didn't plan to make money from the grain.

"Not too much, not too much, it's all because of the wishes of the villagers!" The old village head happily stuffed all the money into Cai Xiaolan's hands.

Six thousand kilograms of corn is enough to feed a thousand of them for ten days.After about ten days, food from other places will definitely come in.Food prices will definitely come down.

The two argued with each other again, and Cai Xiaolan had no choice but to accept the money.

"Oh, then I'll take it." Five taels of gold is worth thirty pennies.With this sum, she got back all the capital invested in the early stage.

　Thank you Xiao Er-DB, Happy Lucky Star, and Wu Yu Geng Yishuang for their recommendation tickets.
