Reborn back to the 1980s, the sweet pet daily life of a small citizen, with a golden finger that can be upgraded.
...The temporary shelter was overcrowded. No one knew how long it would take, so each family chose to stay with someone they knew, which was considered safe.
The village cadres from several nearby villages also discussed with each other. During this period, people from several villages were together, and many conflicts occurred in the chaos. It was not a solution to suppress them all the time.
"There are quite a lot of people stealing and robbing, and villagers come to complain every day."
"Yes! Our village said that people in Xiashan Village are a little scared."
The people who are the most difficult to mess with are those in Xiashan Village. If one person is bullied, the whole village will come over, just like when a young child is beaten, a group of old people will come.
"How long? What does it say?"
"The higher-ups are so busy they can't even handle everything, how can they have the time to care about us?"
"Yes! I heard that Tang City has already started to relocate people. During this period of time, many people have been resettled in the surrounding areas."
"Oh my god! If the higher-ups don't know about this in advance, how many people will we lose?"
Since everyone above had taken action, they should be cautious and continue to stay at the resettlement site. No matter what, with so many lives at stake, it was better to be cautious.
"There have been a lot of mosquitoes lately, and they're pretty silly."
"Yeah! I can't even draw blood anymore. I feel like a complete idiot."
"Also, there are a lot of bugs, all of them are stupid."
The villagers nearby were talking about some unusual things that had happened recently. They were all puzzled as to why the insects and birds were all so stunned. Could it be that something unusual was really going to happen soon?
Chen Yun was picking up her herbs and counting the days. Today was already the 27th. After today, everything would be clear.
"Dad...how long will we stay?" Shen Feng looked at his father.
"It's estimated to be about five or six days."
Shen Chenfeng frowned. As the moment drew closer, he felt more and more uneasy. He hoped that everything would go according to plan and that nothing would go wrong.
"Chen Feng, the village chief is calling you."
"Chen Feng... the clan leader is looking for you."
Finding someone in the countryside is all about having a good voice, calling out. Those around him were unfazed and incredibly calm. If anyone here holds the most prestige, Shen Chenfeng is easily one of the best. With his skill, quick mind, and extraordinary methods, those around him have come to recognize him as the successor to Xiashan Village.
"Have you heard? Someone from the neighboring village is planning to go back to sleep tonight. They've been here for over three days, and since nothing's happened, they don't want to stay like fools any longer."
"If I had known this earlier, it wouldn't be the first day that someone would pretend to obey but actually disobey."
"Hehe, there's no need to bother with those people. Didn't you see that the village chiefs all turned a blind eye?"
"Then, let's go back too! Not only are there too many people here, but it's also a mess everywhere."
It's not convenient at all, and what's more, there was a scandal a while ago. If it weren't for the scrutiny from above, everyone in the team would probably be clamoring to disband. No one wants to stay, everyone wants to run back. A broken home, no matter how shabby it is, is still a home, just like a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
"I...I listen to the captain."
"Yes, I will listen to the captain too. If you want to go, go ahead!"
At most, he kept quiet. He knew the situation clearly, but he was too timid to join the group in making trouble. What if something went wrong and he got himself into trouble? Listening to the captain, with so many people accompanying him, at least he could guarantee his own safety.
…
"The earth is shaking... the earth is shaking..."
"Oh my God... wake up quickly... wake up quickly..."
"Wake up, wake up..."
On the flat ground, everyone's mats and makeshift earthen stoves began to shake, and the people swayed along with them. The violent tremors beneath the ground jolted everyone awake.
Shen Chenfeng woke up when he felt the movement, and looked at Tang City in the distance with a grim expression. He hoped that everything had been arranged, otherwise he would not be able to calm down.
"Oh no... Look, isn't that Xiaolin Village ahead... Oh my god... The mountain has collapsed..."
"It's over, there are still many people inside..."
"Many people in Xiaolin Village have returned to their homes overnight. What should we do?"
The clamorous noises all around were even more alarming. No one had expected the disaster to strike so quickly. No one had expected it, no one had expected it. What to do? The mountain had collapsed, the village was completely submerged, and there was no possibility of survival. What about those people... what about those people?
"Oh my god, I'm glad I didn't follow them. I didn't have any heartbreak."
"Yes, yes, it's a good thing we didn't go back with them."
The people not far away showed a trace of relief. They had never thought that their cowardly thoughts saved their lives. If they were not determined and followed the group home, the chances of being buried would be much greater than it is now.
"Rescue... now, rescue quickly..."
"But there's still an earthquake going on, so we can't get through at all."
"Yeah! Even if the earthquake is over, there will still be aftershocks. We can't get close at all."
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Looking at the collapsed houses in the distance, and then at the villagers shouting around them, everyone fell silent. It wasn't that they didn't want to save people, but it was just that they didn't know what the situation was. With aftershocks at any moment and the ground still shaking, everyone remained silent.
"Niuniu...are your herbs ready?"
Wen Xunqing looked at his little apprentice who had woken up and started fiddling with the herbs again. He had seen his apprentice's abnormal behavior some time ago, and after experiencing this incident, he immediately understood his apprentice's thoughts.
"Everything is ready, Grandpa. Can I take this opportunity to give my herbal powder to the PLA soldiers?"
"Of course they can. It will also allow them to treat more wounded."
Wen Xunqing patted Chen Yun's head. For the first time, he didn't regret teaching his apprentice these things. A disciple surpasses his master. He had such a good apprentice. His life was truly worth it.
"Well...I will definitely save more people."
Chen Yun nodded. The most common products she'd been making lately were painkillers and hemostatic powders. Speed and simplicity were her guiding principles, and these were all things she'd perfected and experimented with herself.
"Yes! We can definitely save more people."
Wen Xunqing looked out into the distance. The captains of each village were counting the number of people and, more importantly, discussing follow-up rescue plans. They had to rescue them; they couldn't just stand by and watch those people get buried in the rubble. But they couldn't just blindly sacrifice themselves. If others weren't saved, the rescuers would be lost too.
