Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Before Shen Ningning could speak, the old village chief's eyes were already sharp.

He reprimanded seriously: "His second aunt's family, what you said is wrong."

“After Ning Ning became the princess, she transferred all the food and property given to her by the court to us.”

“Every month, I will give you your share of food according to the number of people in our village.”

“With so much food, you and your wife can save enough to fill two large jars. Don’t you think it’s not enough?”

“You’re talking like this now, do you think I didn’t give enough in the past? Do you think I’ve deducted it?”

The man waved his hands hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. Village chief, don't be angry."

Sister-in-law Liu actually stood up and said something fair.

“Thanks to Ning Ning’s help, we have no shortage of rice, flour, and salt at home.”

“I have a large family, and I still have a jar of food that I haven’t finished yet.”

“But Ning Ning, you have to make it clear to everyone. It’s okay for us to buy cold-proof equipment. I’m afraid there won’t be any snowstorms this year. It’s a normal year. How are we going to live? Aren’t we all in trouble?”

Shen Ningning's face was serious and majestic.

She said: "Auntie, don't be afraid of spending the wrong money. If there is a natural disaster and someone freezes to death, no amount of money can buy a life."

These words made all the villagers who were still hesitating make up their mind.

Chen Ye stood up directly and said calmly: "I listen to the lady. I will go to the street to buy cotton and linen coats in a while."

"My mother is old and can't stand the cold. No matter what, I have to prepare in advance."

When he said this, some people echoed him: "Yes, my grandfather's legs and feet are still not good. He is paralyzed on the bed and cannot move. It seems that I have to prepare too."

The old village chief said: "We can't buy things in such a haphazard manner. We have to listen to Ningning to tell us how to prevent the cold."

 Shen Ningning nodded her little head.

 “If you, uncles and aunts, believe me, just do as I say.”

“You don’t have to go to the city to buy things for the time being. My friend’s mother misunderstood my meaning and just raised the prices of items for cold protection.”

“The current market price is definitely not suitable. Qingzhou is the closest to our capital, and a carriage can reach it in one day and one night.”

“If any of you have relatives or friends there, you can ask what the prices are there.”

 The old village chief immediately looked at the crowd: "Hei Wazi, aren't your aunt's family in Qingzhou?"

 A tall, fat, dark villager came out.

“That’s right, I’m about to go to my aunt’s house to pick up some New Year’s goods, so I’ll take them there and ask about cold-proof items.”

Shen Ningning reminded him: "Ask about charcoal, cotton clothes, cotton and linen, matches, flints, and oil lamps."

 As he said that, the little guy took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it over.

Heiwazi was shocked: "Princess, what are you doing? I can't ask for your money."

Shen Ningning shook her head: "I know that everyone's money is not easy to come by. I'm afraid I have to collect it together."

"After you go to Qingzhou, if the price is right, you can buy as much as you have. When you come back, everyone can buy it from me at the original price."

"Uncle Hei, this trip has been hard. I will take care of your troubles on the way. Brother Chen, you go with Uncle Hei and use my carriage. We will have someone to look after us on the way."

 Chen Ye nodded immediately.

The old village chief said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the shops will be closed by then. I think it's not too late. You two should set off now."

Heiwazi and Chen Ye went out immediately and packed their bags.

Shen Ningning then said to the remaining villagers: "The roof at home should be repaired or reinforced. We should do it quickly while it doesn't snow."

Otherwise, when the heavy snow collapses the roof, there will be no place to run. Sister-in-law Liu said with some pride: "Last time, Ning Ning, you told my old Liu, he has already inspected our roof."

“Sure enough, there were a few loose places, but they were all repaired.”

Uncle Liu is not good at words, so he said something silently at this moment.

"The roots of my loquat tree are also surrounded by cotton quilts. If a cold disaster really comes, the tree is afraid of freezing. If you have any cotton clothes that you don't need to wear, prepare them in advance."

The villagers immediately began to discuss, and each family came up with ideas on how to prevent freezing.

 Finally, the old village chief had to hit the ground with his crutch again.

 Everyone calmed down.

The old village chief said seriously: "Why are you so anxious? Listen to what Ning Ning has to say."

Shen Ningning smiled and said, "Actually, what the uncles and aunts just said is right. We must not only prepare cold-resistant items, but also prepare food."

“The most important things are firewood and charcoal. As for charcoal, I’ve seen it in the city. Due to the drought, the quantity is scarce. I’m afraid the imperial court doesn’t mine much, and even less can be circulated to the market.”

“So, we must prepare a lot of firewood in case of emergency.”

The old village chief shouted: "Grandma Chen, aren't your brothers and sisters selling wood? Ask her."

Granny Chen was surprised: “But what she sells is furniture wood.”

“You can also ask. Use the scraps to chop them up, and you can still make a fire. Don’t worry about the wood.” The old village chief waved his hand.

Grandma Chen nodded: "Okay, I will ask when I visit tomorrow. My brother lives not far away, in Guangyang County."

Shen Ningning licked her pink lips and concluded.

“No matter what kind of disaster it is, I will do my best wherever I can help everyone, so we can definitely overcome the difficulties together.”

“It’s just that everyone’s hearts must be united. We must know that there is strength in numbers. Only by protecting the entire village can we all survive.”

 Everyone nodded: "Ning Ning is absolutely right, that's the truth."

The villagers of Xiangyun Village have long experienced the concept of working together.

 When the drought was severe before, they formed a tightrope under the leadership of Shen Ningning.

The drought was so severe, but only in their Xiangyun Village, no one died in the disaster.

This is all the result of the little guy, so this time, the villagers believed what Shen Ningning said.

At this time, several young people took the initiative and said: "Then let's help the old people with no children at home to repair the roof."

Someone echoed: "Okay, I'll go too. By the way, I'll take a good look at the crazy scholar's house."

 Everyone was discussing it animatedly.

Whoever has extra tattered quilts will share them and wrap them with the roots of all the loquat trees in the village.

Loquat trees are the source of income for Xiangyun Village and should be protected.

 The strong young men made an appointment, and some of them were responsible for chopping wood.

 Part of them patrols the village and helps when they encounter house doors and roof tiles that need to be repaired.

 However, in the end, everyone found that they had considered everything, but one thing was missing.

“No one in our village knows medical skills, which is terrible.”

"Yes, if there is a snowstorm, people outside can't come in, and we can't get out, but if someone happens to be sick and there is no doctor, it will be over."

I have to go out today, so I am a little lazy. I only have 2 updates, hehe~~
