The four of them quickly settled down in Taohua Village. They first built a simple house, and then took all the unknown corpses in the village to the nearby mountains for burial. As a result, more corpses were found on the mountains.
Bai Chi's family originally had some food, but because of the thunder and heavy rain, Bai Chi had to put the food away. Their yard was also smashed into pieces and was completely uninhabitable.
While they were busy with all these, several people were also busy with farming. This season was a good time to grow rice, corn, coarse grains, etc. The seeds they brought with them in advance became the most important supplies at this time.
Even Mr. Lin stopped reading and Bai Chi stopped being lazy. They were all busy working in the fields.
The new houses of the two families are not far apart. Although simple, they are safe and more comfortable than living in a cave.
As the disaster gradually faded away, the animals in the mountains slowly returned, and with them came the people who had migrated from other areas.
There were many landless people. In order to recover this land that had been almost cleared of human beings, the imperial court appealed to the whole country that all landless people who were willing to come would be given free land and exempted from taxes for three years.
Those people were led by people from the imperial court and it took them two or three months to finally arrive at this small border town.
As a result, when people saw the survivors of Taohua Village, they were as surprised as if they had seen a ghost.
Fortunately, after the explanation, we learned that they had followed animals into the mountains and were lucky enough to survive, and we could only feel grateful.
The four people were re-registered and became new residents of Taohua Village. They were also allocated land and exempted from taxes for three years.
As for the original villagers of Qinghe Village and Taohua Village, none of them returned.
Except for Bai Chi, the other three felt a little lost. They were not sure whether those people had all died or escaped and stayed somewhere else.
The former possibility is obviously greater. Even if one has not seen it with one's own eyes, one has already heard about the tragic situation caused by this disaster from other people.
There is no water source and no way to plant seeds. There is nothing more desperate than this.
Being able to survive is a blessing from God.
Bai Chi didn't say much, but occasionally when they were sad, he would sigh that natural disasters were cruel.
Time will erase all traces of suffering. In less than two years, all the dead trees on the nearby mountains were cut down and became firewood for cooking.
The newly grown trees quickly grew tall. There were originally many peach trees around Taohua Village, but more than half of them died due to the drought. The ones that barely survived only had a few tender buds sprouting from the roots.
However, in the second year, the peach trees grafted from cuttings were replanted all over Taohua Village. I believe that it won’t be long before Taohua Village will return to its original appearance.
Mr. Lin asked someone to rebuild two study rooms in the village and asked Bai Chi to teach together.
One of them taught people to read and write, and the other taught people to recognize simple herbal medicine.
Mr. Lin even took out two medical books from his collection. Even though Bai Chi had no intention of returning to his old profession, he had to express his interest.
So Bai Chi read medical books and became a well-known doctor in the surrounding area. He even had a special pharmacy at home.
If you have a headache or fever, come to see Doctor Lin in Taohua Village. He will definitely cure you in one go!
I originally wanted to enjoy myself, but ended up turning it into a career.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin knew that he liked to sleep in the morning, so he put his class at the back so that he could get enough sleep before teaching the students.
The only one who was slightly unhappy was probably Hu Yunxiao.
Achi now had more work to do, teaching students. From then on, when I woke up every day, I would not go to the fields to find him first, but go to the academy to find students.
Oh, that's so sad.
