Chapter 89
Mayor Xiao was not at all surprised when he heard Tang Rufeng's conditions.
Since the village chief had strongly resisted his intention to send people to Daxi Village, he knew that the areas around Daxi Village on the mountain would not allow him to easily send people up.
Before this, he had been struggling with how to get the people in Daxi Village on the mountain to agree to let them go up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, his luck came and it was unstoppable. Before he could even think of a solution, such a thing happened on the mountain. Isn't this obviously giving him an opportunity!
Although he was not sure whether the people in Daxi Village would agree to his proposal to let people go up the mountain before going up the mountain, he had to gain something from this trip.
Fortunately, the final result was good.
Although there are many restrictions on the number of people who can go up the mountain, there are also very few people in the town below the mountain who can go up the mountain. Except for those who are capable or are members of the defense team, Mayor Xiao does not want to arrange for anyone else to go up the mountain.
Because he had mentioned in the three rules he had made with Tang Rufeng that he must not take the initiative to provoke the villagers of Daxi Village or do anything that would damage or cause loss to Daxi Village.
Since there is such a restriction, the people the mayor allowed to go up the mountain must be those members of the defense team who obey his command.
Otherwise, those people who even the mayor is not 100% sure will listen to him will go up the mountain and have conflicts with the villagers there, and in the end it will be the mayor who has to go up the mountain to apologize for the losses.
After obtaining the guarantee from Town Mayor Xiao and the written certificate left under the witness of Ying Huai, Town Mayor Xiao was allowed to use the vacant land between Daxi Village and Shangyou Village within the protection range of Ying Huai to build a village outside the village.
"Don't worry, Godmother. We won't damage the environment this time. We'll just build a house next to the cultivated fields to watch over them."
Before leaving, Mayor Xiao turned around and explained to Ying Huai.
He had not said this to Tang Rufeng before. After all, in his opinion, there was no need for explanation. He could just let Tang Rufeng go up and see it himself, or use his ability to see it.
With an idea and a goal, and enough manpower, the mountain road outside Daxi Village soon became bustling with people.
People kept carrying things up the mountain. It was lively enough for one person to walk back and forth several times, let alone so many people.
It is also difficult because when this path was first opened, the growth of mutant plants in the surrounding area was taken into consideration and the road was made wider.
Even though there are so many people going up and down the mountain in the past two days, there has been no traffic jam or injuries from being trampled, so there is no problem with the flow of people.
After learning about the situation outside, the village chief would look out from the village entrance every day, waiting to see what materials those people could move up the mountain.
It is difficult to transport things on this mountain. The road has not been repaired. Even people have to rely on motorcycles or their legs to go up and down the mountain, not to mention carrying goods up and down the mountain.
"If you're really worried, you can go up and take a look. There are so many people on the mountain lately, and most of them are from the defense team. They will deal with any mutant plants and animals that can actively attack. With my godmother here, there's no need to worry about safety issues."
Seeing the village chief looking out eagerly, it was very obvious that he wanted to go and see the scene.
It’s not that we are afraid that the people brought by Mayor Xiao will do something when building the village outside the village, which may cause someone to accidentally occupy the land of Daxi Village.
It is just that in recent years, Daxi Village has only become lively except during festivals and because of this strange incident.
The village chief, who has become accustomed to staying in the village with only the older generation left, and is quietly walking towards the end of his life, has become more enthusiastic because he can see the hustle and bustle every day these days.
"I'm not worried about safety issues. After all, my godmother is here."
Hearing this, the village chief turned to look at Tang Rufeng, "But am I just going to follow him like this?"
Because of Ying Huai's presence, the village chief was not worried about danger at all, but was worried that those people would not let him watch around.
"No, the village outside the village has not been completed yet, so you won't be able to see anything if you go there now."
Tang Rufeng shook his head and signaled the village chief to just go and there would be no problem.
After getting the consent of the young leaders of this generation in the village, the village chief left the village with satisfaction and followed those walking on the small mountain path outside the village.
"Tangtang, go follow the village chief."
Watching the village chief leave the village with anticipation on his face, Tang Rufeng turned to look at Tang Tang who was also sitting under a locust tree watching the fun.
Ever since Tang Tang came back, she has been either sticking to her mother all day long, or hanging out with her godmother Ying Huai at the village entrance.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Tang Tang was asked to go down the mountain was to confirm Ying Huai’s guess. Now, seeing that Tang Tang’s luck value has stabilized, Ying Huai couldn’t help but feel happy for her.
Tang Tang's luck is incredible. When his luck is bad, he can even fall down while walking. When his luck is good, he can encounter such a great fate even in such a small county.
Not many people in Shanxia Town knew that Mayor Xiao had planned to build a village outside the village on the mountain, which was currently under construction. At least the ordinary residents of the town were not aware of the situation for the time being.
But for those who have been in the town for many years and have all the connections, it is still easy to find out.
After all, the people who went up the mountain to build the village outside the village were members of the defense team, and a part of the defense team members went up the mountain to build the village outside the village.
This resulted in the town having very few defense personnel, and anyone interested could find out what was going on by just asking around.
The defense team members who went up the mountain did not include the drunk uncle. He had come down the mountain himself, and since he had no intention of going up, he did not apply to come up.
Stay in the town at the foot of the mountain and continue to defend.
However, the mayor, after seeing the ability of the drunk uncle and his previous amazing performance in the grain field, mentioned him briefly in the report on the people with abilities that he submitted to the higher authorities.
Although the article is short, the meaning is very clear. The Drunk Uncle is the capable person who can speak well in the town this time.
In the past, he would just watch people from other places report talented people to his superiors, and then they would be reused by their superiors. Even if he came across any benefits, he would know about it in advance.
This time, we finally confirmed that Uncle Drunkard was capable enough to report it. How could Mayor Xiao let him go?
I took the report directly to the higher-ups.
The Ability Information Analysis Department was also a little surprised after seeing the ability of Drunk Uncle.
But it was only a moment. They saw many people's abilities every day, and they had seen all kinds of strange and particularly useful ones.
Uncle Drunk's ability is considered to be relatively good among them, and he can surprise people, but he can't do it to the extent of amazing people like the three teams of kids before, and then directly alarm the leaders above.
Although it was not amazing enough, the surprise alone was enough to make the drunk uncle walk up along the road given by the town.
The town allowed him to go out and advance his career, which would be very helpful in finding his child. The drunk uncle was very happy.
In fact, he knew that there were a few capable people in the town, but their families were in the town. It was dangerous outside, so it was not easy for them to move with their families.
In addition, they are the pillars of the family and cannot act casually for fear of problems. In the end, they can only give up the opportunity and let the drunk uncle, a lonely man, have a chance.
No matter why Drunk Uncle was able to demonstrate his abilities this time, as long as the final result is good, that’s all that matters.
After knowing that he could join a stronger team, Uncle Drunk took his bag and the documents given by the mayor and set off.
His ability itself is to soothe and control. Even if his attack power is not strong, he doesn't have to worry about mutant animals and plants actively approaching and hurting him on the road.
So he walked out without hesitation, and the town defense team was not worried that he would encounter these dangers.
The only worry is that the town does not have enough funds. The means of transportation used after the mutation need to be overhauled, otherwise they will not be able to adapt to the current environment and will simply break down and become useless.
Their entire defense team had very few vehicles, and it was impossible for them to allocate one to Drunk Uncle. He could only rely on his legs and physical strength to find the way up there. It sounded like a country bumpkin entering the city...
Anyway, fortunately, the final result was good. Uncle Drunk successfully joined the stronger team and was also exposed to the tasks that the second-tier team needed to handle.
For example, when the second-line team is called upon by the first-line team, they will respond unconditionally unless they have any urgent tasks.
"You've come at a great time. If you had come two days later, you wouldn't have been able to find anyone at our base."
The teammates said this to the drunk uncle who had just arrived.
"Is there an urgent mission that requires everyone to go?"
Hearing the other party say this, the drunk uncle's face showed no emotion, he just agreed with what the other party said.
Anyway, apart from the matter of finding the child, which can move and make Drunk Uncle obsessed, he doesn't pay much attention to or be curious about anything else.
The reason for dealing with these interpersonal relationships now is that it may be helpful for him to find children in the future.
"It's not an emergency mission. It's a call from the third team on the front line. The mission they were doing before was very close to the next mission point, and they are short of manpower, so they called us, the second team."
Seeing that the drunk uncle was chatting with him along his own topic, his teammates were very happy and whispered a lot.
There is also some envy and jealousy towards the capable people in the first-line teams.
However, these envy and jealousy are all within controllable range and will not have any impact.
"So are we going to set off now?"
The drunk uncle turned around and looked at the bag he had just packed with his belongings after completing his job registration. He was glad that he was not a diligent person and was not quick enough to pack it up again.
"Well, let's leave in the afternoon. We can arrive at the place tomorrow morning. The situation over there is a bit complicated."
After the teammate finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and quickly turned back.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I still haven't packed my things." He turned around and left in a hurry.
"Don't be so picky with him. He's just a bit of a chatterbox. Besides that, he's a pretty good teammate."
A team member who had been silent and just listening to their conversation spoke up to explain when he saw his colleague leaving in a hurry.
They have a good team atmosphere now, and no one wants anyone to disrupt this comfortable environment.
They only had the current attitude because they saw that there was no extraneous ulterior motive in the words of the Drunk Uncle.
"Yeah, I know. I've met people like this before. They're all pretty simple-minded."
Hearing the protective tone in the other party's words, the drunk uncle felt no emotion, but smiled gently with an understanding look on his face.
