Liu Qian was blind for two days and two nights, then he suddenly jumped off the kang and almost broke himself.
At that time, he was screaming in fear, as if there was a ferocious beast that was about to pounce on him and bite him to death.
He looked too scary, but fortunately, he was no longer a wooden man and had normal human reactions.
People at this time are the most vulnerable, and if things go wrong it may leave a huge shadow.
Although it is troublesome, it is because I have no relatives in this world.
No matter how bad or useless his cousin is, as long as his background can be straightened out and he can be saved, Zhao Wei, as his cousin, cannot turn a blind eye to it.
He continued to play nursery rhymes for Liu Qian whenever Liu Qian had an attack.
He boasted so much that he even managed to produce several apprentices.
After all, after listening to him play the instrument so many times, the melody of the piece has become imprinted in my ears.
After putting willow leaves in their mouths and sucking on them a few times, there are always a few people with some talent who can blow it up to be almost accurate.
Because of this song, a small trend started in the village, where people are proud of being able to play it. In this impoverished life, everyone needs some spiritual nourishment.
Fortunately, after several days of crazy hunting, most of the wild animals in the mountains have been killed, and the threat to the village has become very small.
Even if there is another one in the future, there will be plenty of time to continue organizing manpower.
As Zhao Wei had made great contributions, the privileges granted to him by his superiors became increasingly relaxed.
But he did not stop his efforts. He sent people to call the heads of various towns and villages to Xiangyang Commune and told them about his relief plan of dozens of tons of animal meat.
"I know everyone is short of food and water now."
"This meat will be donated in the name of Yushutun. It should be enough for a while. It's better to save some food than to starve to death."
"If it's really not enough, you can ask people to come to our village. I can take them to the valley behind the mountain to dig wild vegetables."
"It's a place with abundant water and grass, but there are a lot of poisonous snakes there, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"As for the water source, you have to send someone to our village to bring it. I will send you the blueprint of the canal to save you the time of surveying."
…
Zhao Wei recounted the events one by one, and everyone present was deeply moved, with tears in their eyes.
Faced with such natural and man-made disasters, they were the ones who did not find ways to stop them in time, and they were guilty. If they had listened to Zhao Wei's advice and followed him, life wouldn't be so difficult now.
At this moment, facing Zhao Wei's selfless help, they felt ashamed and thought that they were too stubborn and self-righteous in the past and were not qualified to sit in this position anymore.
They all told Zhao Wei sternly that once the disaster was over, they would resign from their positions and give way to more capable people.
Zhao Wei was pleased with their changes and was also sure that they really knew they were wrong.
It's just that the price to pay is a bit high.
Fortunately, so far, no one has starved to death.
Therefore, as long as we display the spirit of "when one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid", this difficulty can still be overcome.
His ability is only enough to protect this small world and his family and friends, but not more.
Wei looked at the heads of the various townships with red eyes and lowered heads in silence, his fingers unconsciously stroking the wood grain of the table edge.
Outside the window, on the threshing ground of Xiangyang Commune, several children were imitating the tune of him blowing willow leaves. The discordant whistles mixed with the rustling sound of the wind passing through the elm forest seemed to add a bit of awkward hope to this heavy meeting.
"Let's put aside our duties for now," Zhao Wei suddenly said, his voice hoarse from days of running around, "saving people is the most important thing right now." He took out a stack of mimeographed drawings from his canvas bag and spread them on the table. It was a topographic map of the valley behind the mountain. Areas with dense wild vegetables and rock crevices where poisonous snakes often appeared were circled in red pen. The direction of the canal was drawn as a winding blue line, with the words "Xiangyang Commune Reservoir" marked at the end.
"Every member of the team digging wild vegetables must be given at least a handful of realgar powder. Take the canal drawings back with you. The section with the largest amount of earthwork is on the west slope. If you need help, I will go to the town's armed forces department to apply for personnel support."
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief Liu suddenly raised his hand and wiped his face, his Adam's apple rolling: "President Zhao, we all listen to you. We can overcome this problem for the time being. Let's get started first, otherwise people will be panicked, alas..."
Zhao Wei nodded and glanced at everyone.
"After the meat is distributed, have the village cadres count the households most seriously short of food, and prioritize the elderly and children first."
"The team digging wild vegetables rotates every three days, and those digging canals have to work every day, but they try to avoid the scorching sun at noon to avoid exhausting everyone."
"If there is nothing else to do, just get to work, cheer up, and devote yourself to the great cause of drought relief with the greatest enthusiasm."
…
Encouraged, everyone rushed towards the place where the meat was distributed in the village as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Because the weather was very hot, the meat was almost dried into jerky in just one day, which reduced the possibility of it spoiling.
Zhao Wei leaned against the door frame, watching the setting sun dye the roof of Elm Tree House golden red, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him.
"Cousin." Liu Qian, wrapped in a navy short-sleeved shirt, stood in the corridor. His face was still pale, but his eyes finally had some life in them.
But apart from saying this, I couldn't say anything else.
He had a serious psychological problem.
Zhao Wei took him to an empty office and pulled the curtains inside. The room suddenly became quiet.
Then, in order to avoid being disturbed, the door was locked.
Only then did he place Liu Qian on a recliner.
"Don't be nervous. Next, don't force yourself to speak. If you want to say something, just say a few words to me. If you don't want to say anything, just listen to me quietly. Do you understand?"
Liu Qian nodded and soon relaxed.
Zhao Wei then slowly told the story.
"I still remember that when you first came to Yushudun, you were still a lawless villain. One day, you were squatting in a grain pile eating dates, and a young man from the village stole half a handful of dates. You chased him across three ridges and finally pinned him in a mud pit and beat him up."
"In the end, you were no match for him. Your nose was bleeding from the punch and you came back to me crying. Tsk tsk..."
"Thinking about it now, your fight back then was really stupid, but your ruthlessness was much stronger than cowering here now."
…
Yue Wei deliberately used the most relaxed and happiest past to let the other party immerse in that happy time.
Then he slowly turned the topic to the big tiger that scared him out of his wits.
