late at night.
The wind was biting cold.
The freezing rain was getting heavier and heavier.
As Amo sat in the main room receiving and sending messages, watching the drops of transparent liquid fall from the night sky and quickly freeze, she knew that the freezing rain following the blizzard was far more serious than she had imagined.
The temperature was extremely low, colder than it had been in decades.
Just now, Yang Ayao from the county town called and said that the entire Tianfeng County was affected by the disaster, and they had nothing left except for the supplies they had previously raised.
The county government doesn't have any to sell either, and in some places people have already frozen to death.
Because the situation is very serious in several counties east of Tianfeng County.
but--
The weather was very strange, with the highest mountains of Tianfeng County and Qingyu County serving as the boundary.
In Tianfeng County, the weather was extremely bad, while in Qingyu County, which lies just beyond the mountains, nothing happened.
While here it's blizzard, freezing cold, and freezing rain, there are occasional glimpses of sunshine appearing at midday.
This situation truly reflects the saying:
Guizhou Province is a place where the sky is never clear for three days in a row, the land is never flat for three feet, and people have no money to spare!
This afternoon, when Amo returned, she thought she already had plans in place. She planned to personally check the situation in the Miao village tomorrow to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation before finalizing a detailed plan for entering the mountains. But who knew...
At this moment, all Amo wanted was to find a way into the mountains as soon as possible so that the supplies that had been brought in earlier could be transported into the mountains one after another.
But now--
Time was so tight that even she couldn't stay calm.
Just now, from the depths of the mountains, the urgent sound of war drums rang out again.
That was the rhythm of drums as houses collapsed.
So she contacted Tangtang Capital in the middle of the night, asking them to spare no expense to load and transport the essential supplies, such as food, that she had previously asked them to prepare to eastern Guizhou.
Upon receiving the call, Su Qian and Yao Ye acted overnight, directing the company's senior management in Guizhou Province to mobilize, and also instructing Yan Hao from the candy company to contact a convoy.
Ning Jing and investment director Xiao Yan haven't had a moment's rest since they received the call.
Using the power of Sugar Capital, they opened several granaries overnight.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Wang Zhao called his brother Wang Chao that very night and quickly made arrangements.
Afterwards, following his elder brother's instructions, Wang Chao mobilized a hundred medium-sized trucks from their fleet in the provincial capital, unfurled a banner announcing that the Miao people of eastern Guizhou had raised their own supplies, loaded the goods at the granary, and personally escorted the supplies on their way.
This commotion was quite significant, and naturally it also alarmed the provincial governor.
After hearing the report, the provincial governor immediately contacted the Miao family.
Mu Achen's phone was still out of service.
Amo's call went through, but the signal was bad.
So Mo called back using a landline.
Upon learning of the situation of the Miao people in eastern Guizhou, the provincial governor immediately ordered the provincial public security bureau to send a team to drive and ensure smooth traffic.
But Amo refused.
Because if the provincial capital's public security vehicles were to lead the way, people who didn't know better would think that the supplies were from the provincial government.
And it's wrong to only give it to Miao areas and not to other counties!
The provincial governor did not insist on this further, but he did notify the Qiandong municipal government to ensure that the supplies raised by the Miao people reached the Miao villages as quickly as possible.
When the mayor heard the news, he was also taken aback.
Because no one expected the Miao family to be so resourceful, directly transferring supplies from the provincial capital to save themselves.
noon--
The long convoy of medium-sized trucks, resembling a dragon, had just entered Qingyu County when four or five public security vehicles, which had been waiting by the roadside on orders from their superiors, immediately sounded their sirens and turned on their flashing lights to clear the way for them.
The team was led by Director Shi Xiang.
"Director Shi, I feel that this time, we have really done something very meaningful!"
"Yes, Director Shi, a hundred trucks, all loaded with supplies!"
"That banner really made me want to cry."
Shi Xiang also wanted to cry, but more than that, he felt ashamed!
Natural disasters, though unavoidable.
But the words "self-funded" really hit home.
The border between Tianfeng County and Qingyu County is the same location where the incident occurred last time.
Yun Kai and Lei Zhan had already led their men to wait here.
As soon as the convoy arrived, they immediately took over the public security duties of Qingyu County.
Two hours later--
This eye-catching convoy was about to enter the cement road of the Miao village --
A truck behind flashed its lights, indicating it wanted to overtake.
Afterwards, the truck overtook the cement road ahead of the other trucks, immediately opened the back door, and the Miao people on the truck kept spreading salt on the road.
This scene made Yun Kai and Lei Zhan feel even worse.
They had considered using salt to remove ice before, but the county government simply couldn't afford to buy the special de-icing salt, and the county didn't have that much in reserve.
Moreover, although salt wasn't very expensive in those days, using it to sprinkle on roads and remove ice was something probably only the Miao people would dare to spend so much money on.
Along the way, Miao people from nearby Miao villages were already waiting on both sides of the cement road with their farm tools.
Every grain of salt spilled from the truck is immediately crushed and evenly spread by them.
Half an hour later--
When the truck entered Quedongzhai--
Boom boom boom--
The sound of war drums rang out first in Que Dong Village.
Immediately afterwards, nearby Miao villages responded, and the distinctive rhythm of drums was sounded.
Of the Han Chinese who came to buy the sacred fruit, very few had heard such exhilarating, thunderous war drum sounds at the previous Drumming Festival.
"What on earth happened to the Miao people? Tens of thousands of Miao people have gathered here since last night, and there are even more today."
"Why was the drumbeat so loud just now?"
"I heard that tens of thousands of Miao people are trapped in the deep mountains. Their holy maiden has ordered supplies to be sent to the Miao people in the deep mountains."
