Chapter 56: Hand in Hand Through It All!



Moreover, they have already sent their most elite forces to hold the most critical positions, and Quanmiao is also engaged in disaster relief and rescue.

The more Xu thought about it, the more he realized how shameless he was!

But there's nothing we can do about it; it's his own fault for not taking it seriously enough before.

The important thing is that the county road is blocked, so people from the Lincheng direction can't get through for the time being.

As for northern Guangxi and western Hunan, these two areas also suffered from disasters.

The situation is even more severe in western Hunan.

However, Xu County still hoped to discuss the matter with the Miao people, since they could only rely on the Miao people before the arrival of the armed forces.

The Miao people are the main force.

His idea was correct, but if he relied on the Miao people for everything and didn't do anything practical, the Miao people wouldn't be fools.

It's not that the Miao people are unwilling, but rather that they are also facing limitations in access to resources.

Furthermore, what Xuxian should be thinking about most right now is how to rescue the thousand people trapped on the "isolated island" in the county seat, instead of relying on the Miao people for everything.

The Miao people are extremely busy right now, preparing for everything, and also holding the most critical sections of the dikes at all costs.

Once the next wave of torrential rain arrives, the people on the other side of the "isolated island" will be in real danger.

These are matters for the government, not for the Miao people.

But as luck would have it, two days later--

Despite the heavy rain, people from Xingkong Guolin delivered various Western and Miao medicines to Rongjiang, including the renowned medical expert, Elder Ji.

This time, Professor Ji accompanied the team and served as an important member of the rescue team.

Several of his students were among them.

Elder Ji and his colleagues were well aware of the current situation in Miao territory; the entire Miao community was "preparing for war," and resources were being mobilized in all aspects.

Although the floods in Tianfeng were not as severe as those in Rongjiang, the landslides and damage to villages in Tianfeng were far more serious.

Despite the difficulties, the Miao people still managed to take care of things outside the Miao village, but their daily expenses were staggering.

So when Mr. Ji arrived in Rongjiang and learned about the situation, he was furious and immediately contacted the person in Lincheng using his satellite phone.

The old man was standing up for the Miao people.

So he vented his anger on the phone, and finally said:

“Everyone is having a hard time! Even though the Miao people made preparations six months in advance, you didn’t see the scene here with your own eyes.”

"With a million Miao people mobilized, the amount of supplies consumed every day is terrifying! The women and girls of the Miao community are too busy to keep up, and even eleven or twelve-year-old children are helping to pick vegetables and carry supplies to the rescue sites from a safe location in the rear."

"Throughout my journey, I have mostly seen Miao people busy in various places, and heard nothing but pitiful cries and the cries of Miao people trying to save lives."

“The government office is short-staffed, but at a time like this, we should not be asking the Miao family for help, but rather asking them to help us get through this difficult time together. Why should we all be making demands on them?”

Grandma Ji was furious!

Even if he knew the county road was blocked, he shouldn't have done this.

So after he lost his temper, he quickly put on his raincoat and headed towards the temporary command tent.

"Teacher, can we get in? Everything here is bustling with activity. There are tens of thousands of disaster victims everywhere."

"Never mind that for now. We need to find Prince Mu or Saintess Amo. Without their permission, the Zi Miao branch won't let us participate in their mission."

"Yes, this Zi Miao is amazing! Their Miao medicine is also very magical! Many of them are more effective than our Western medicine. They can even cure diseases with an insect. It's too strange."

"So we have to get involved!"

When the renowned medical scholar, Dr. Ji, saw the scene on the northern outskirts of Rongjiang County, gazing at the hundreds of greenhouses overflowing with people—

Watching the Miao people rushing to their destination in the heavy rain, they felt a pang of sadness.

The area around the command tent is even busier.

Since the Miao chieftain and the holy maiden are all here, it means that the disaster relief situation of the entire Miao people in multiple counties will also be reported here.

All comprehensive plans and overall arrangements originate from here.

Before Mr. Ji and his group even got close, they saw reporters being stopped and not allowed to enter.

After listening for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "You media people, don't all crowd here and delay the Miao people's important arrangements. Go where you should be."

"Even if we want to report on it, people need to have the time, and now is a difficult time."

"Sir, who are you?" the reporter asked.

Old Ji said, "Never mind who I am, go check on the wounded over there, or go to the supplies area and ask what they need here. Report back and find a way to replenish their supplies."

"Grandpa, we want to donate money, but we don't know where to do it."

"You'll have to ask about that! But let me tell you, what's most lacking here is supplies, and even if you have money, you might not be able to buy them."

Actually, what Master Ji wanted to say was: the Miao people are not short of money, or the future Miao king is not short of money, but he couldn't say it. After all, these kind-hearted people donated money, and it was their good intention.

So after he finished speaking, he continued towards the command tent.

When I arrived at the door, I was stopped.

“Brother Miao, I’m looking for your future Miao King. We know each other. Could you please inform him that I’m Old Man Ji, who’s doing research in the Starry Sky Fruit Forest?”

Old Man Ji?

Miao Jun, who was standing at the door, recognized this person, so after sizing up Lao Ji, he said, "Wait a moment!"

Then he ran into the shed.

It was out in less than two minutes.

"Please, Professor Ji, --"

Professor Ji only brought one student with him when he went in.

But he went in without disturbing them, because arrangements were being made at the table.

The prospective Miao King, Mu Achen, stood in front of those maps, making a new round of deployments and arrangements for the various Miao army commanders, a group of core Miao people, and the village chiefs.

On the side, more than twenty of the most beautiful girls were constantly sending and receiving secret information by counting on their fingers.

Beside them, dozens of Miao people were preparing.

As for Saintess Amo, she and Miaohuang Ayun were on the other side, using walkie-talkies to arrange other tasks and exchanging information with Xiangxi by phone.

"Teachers, they are so busy!"

"Don't talk, don't disturb them."

Old Ji's gaze fell on Achen on the other side of the map. Achen happened to look over, nodded to him, and continued speaking to everyone:

"Don't blame the government for its poor rescue efforts. They have limited manpower, the affected area is quite large, and their equipment is incomplete. So, the main force still needs to be on our side."

"We'll take the lion's share, and the other government offices can handle the arrangements!"

"Rongjiang, Chief Peng, you take charge of the arrangements. Report any developments promptly, and let us know if you need support."

"In addition, regarding the logistics, as the number of disaster victims increases, you must ensure the quality of life for the rescue workers. It's one thing to make sure they don't go hungry, but they also need to be nutritious. Didn't Jackal and his group bring over a batch of pigs and cattle? You decide how many to slaughter each day. If it's not enough, buy more. Ask Shengtang how much it costs."

"Everyone, get ready, a new storm is coming soon!"

The village chiefs nodded in agreement.

Chief Peng quickly said, "Achen, there's a very serious problem! We need to prepare immediately, or someone could die."

"What problem is so serious?"
