Ning Ye patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, this is very simple. As long as we have enough wood, we can make as many as we want. We don't have enough people right now, so it's good to bring people like you along. We can get them all at once before we can start the rescue."
Skis are a bit difficult to use, but after getting used to them for a while, people can manage to control them to some extent.
After teaching them the basic usage, Ning Ye didn't care whether these people could succeed or not. They moved forward in the wind and snow, and from then on, they could only rely on themselves.
Ning Ye led his men straight to where the carpenters lived to rescue them first, so that more people could be rescued at the same time.
Ning Ye then ordered all his men to disperse, each with their own destination. Ning Ye himself went to an old carpenter's house, but upon arrival, he discovered that the old carpenter's dwelling had already collapsed, and he knew he would surely die even without going inside.
Just as Ning Ye was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard faint cries for help coming from the ruins.
Without hesitation, Ning Ye went to the most likely place to live. He used the two skis in his hands as shovels, and easily dug away all the snow.
In just a few breaths, large patches of snow had been dug away. When Ning Ye saw the tile, he immediately cleared it away. Only then did he realize that a small space had formed where the old man had been crushed, which prevented the old carpenter from being crushed to death.
However, if Ning Ye hadn't arrived, and if Ning Ye's ears hadn't been so sharp, the old carpenter would still have been doomed.
"Grandpa, please don't move. I'll get you out right now."
The old carpenter's eyes were starting to become cloudy, and he had no strength to answer Ning Ye, let alone move.
Ning Ye easily cleaned up the wood and tiles, and pulled the old carpenter out of the room in one go.
Such incidents occur in various places, with methods ranging from simply clearing the snow to taking people away; each person handles the situation in completely different ways.
After all, we can't just leave these carpenters to their families.
The largest team was led by Wang Wu, who delivered all the emergency skis he had brought to Lin Changhe's military camp.
Although the military camp wasn't completely buried by the heavy snow, it wasn't much better; going out was practically a pipe dream.
Lin Changhe was already in a panic. All the soldiers were crammed into a huge barracks, which was originally where they ate.
"Sir, please stop going around in circles. Even if we go around in circles, we still won't get out. With such a great risk, even if a god came, we couldn't get out."
Lin Changhe said angrily, "Do you think I don't know? But I'm just worried. We're fine here, but can the people survive?"
To be honest, these words also reveal why Lin Changhe was able to get involved with Wang Mingyuan. The two of them are basically in love with each other and still care about the common people.
When Wang Wu led the group through the snow, Lin Changhe was incredibly excited. After seeing the skis, he had to admit that Ning Ye was extremely clever; how come no one had thought of that before?
With more and more people joining the rescue efforts, Qingyuan County, the area with the least severe situation, was completely contained within just one day.
Of course, for wealthy people, such risks are nothing and have no impact at all. It is always the ordinary people who suffer because they do not have the ability to bear risks.
Even the slightest change could cost these people dearly, let alone a natural disaster that is completely unstoppable.
As more and more people were rescued, a new problem arose for Wang Mingyuan: there were simply too many people, and he had nowhere to put them all. Most of those who were brought here had homes whose houses had been completely crushed.
If we leave them like this, they will still die. But where will we get shelter and a lot of firewood?
As soon as Ning Ye returned, Wang Mingyuan immediately called Ning Ye to his study. "We urgently need a place to stay and firewood. Do you have any?"
Ning Ye spread his hands and said, "Lord Wang, you're putting me in a difficult position. Even if I had these things, they would only be enough for my own use. If I were to take them out, I don't think it would be enough. It would be a drop in the ocean. Could you perhaps think of a place where we could store firewood?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang Mingyuan said, "The only people in the city who have the ability to produce more firewood are probably the landlords and merchants. However, given the current situation, they would never dare to do so. Nobody knows how long this snow will last, so how could they dare to produce it so easily?"
"Lord Wang has already come to this point. We can't just ignore things at this critical juncture. So, is it really not feasible? What if we send someone to collect some?"
Wang Mingyuan sighed and said, "This natural disaster was unexpected by everyone. Although these people are indeed quite wealthy, if the money is taken away and it really affects them, they might die."
It's impossible for everyone in this world to be bad. Some people are already kind and generous, but in the current situation, they probably have the will but not the power. After all, no one would risk their life to help others, especially when it comes to protection.
Ning Ye squinted and said, "Let's just demolish all the houses that collapsed, adults. There's a lot of timber in there."
Wang Mingyuan's eyes lit up. "That's right. Quickly organize manpower to demolish all those collapsed houses. As for what happens after that, we'll have to wait until after this is over."
After receiving Wang Mingyuan's order, Ning Ye began to lead everyone in dismantling the houses. Since the houses were now mostly wooden structures, a large amount of timber could be extracted from each house, making it easier to get through the winter.
