Chapter 261: On a night of hail, people were in a panic
Sure enough, there will be a blizzard tomorrow.
Jiusu coughed lightly and said, "Disciple, go pick a few strong and smart men. I'll wait for you outside."
How should she explain why she had put the snow blower in the open space when no one was around? Forget it, be stern and scare them away from asking.
Soon, Qian Junjie came out with ten young men.
"Master, what is this?"
"Snow blower." Jiusu read the instructions and demonstrated it once. All the snow in front was cleared away, and a road appeared. "You two try it."
She was afraid that if ten people were driving a snowplow together, they would crash and cause an accident.
After a stick of incense, they had become proficient in using the snow blower.
Qian Junjie asked: "Master, where did all this come from?"
Jiusu Ni glanced at him and curled her lips: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, don't ask nonsense questions."
Qian Junjie quickly shut up and stood aside, waiting obediently for his master's instructions. His master was very fierce today. As expected, a lovesick woman should not be messed with.
Jiusu said, "Now that the snow has stopped, you should form a snow-clearing team. Two people will stay at the factory and clear the thick snow around it. The others will clear the roads in the village. If anyone is in danger, please report and help them in time. I will give you an additional thirty cents a day on top of your original salary. Are you willing?"
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
They clenched their fists. They had just tried the snow blower. It was a good thing. It could clear the snow, making it convenient to go back and forth without putting anyone in danger. Perhaps, no one would be stuck at home because of heavy snow and freeze to death.
The snow clearing operation officially began.
On the second floor, Jiusu looked at the road that was slowly forming, with a slight smile on her lips. The main road had been formed, with a thin layer of ice underneath, making it much more convenient to transport goods. She turned around and saw the calendar on the wall.
Hmm.
“So the New Year here is New Year’s Day.”
After everything is settled here, she will also follow her mother back to Shengjing to deal with some dirty things that happened when she was a baby. The seemingly peaceful Marquis' Mansion has become turbulent with Li Yulan's loss of power, right?
Hey, that's not right.
It seems like I haven’t seen Li Yulan for many days. Could she still be living in the county government office?
The moonlight sprinkled on the snow, emitting a sparkling light. After a gust of wind, the moon was covered by dark clouds. The cold wind tried to get into the house and soaked people's bodies. The winter wind was biting.
Being cold will cause pain.
Village chief Chen opened his eyes, put on a cotton coat, sat next to the stove, lifted the heavy curtains, and looked outside through the glass. The wind blew up snowflakes, and in the darkness, it seemed as if something was staring at him.
The demons of the night are the most tormenting to the human heart.
His heart was pounding, so he quickly put it down, adjusted his breathing, and added two pieces of charcoal to the stove.
Looking at the several bags of charcoal behind me, the tension in my heart was reduced a lot.
"Why are you awake?"
The whole family squeezed into the room, separated by curtains.
Chen sighed and said, "I can't sleep. It was around this time last year when so many people died. I'm also worried about our son. I don't know if he's doing well in the Tian Mansion."
She hugged her daughter with a worried look on her face.
Village Chief Chen said, "Don't worry, it's not that cold in the county. It's just that the land in our Chenjia Village seems to be cursed. It has been extremely cold in recent years, and the snow has been heavy, causing panic among the people."
He touched the two flares in his hand.
"Don't worry, the boss said that if there is any danger to our lives, we will release a signal flare. We will definitely not die."
That night, the village chief and his family were not the only ones who couldn't sleep.
People living in the factory couldn't sleep either.
In the middle of the night, there was a crackling sound from the roof.
Jiusu took a closer look and said, "It's hail!"
Yi Hui said, "This is the first time I've seen hail. I didn't expect the living environment in Lingcheng to be so harsh. It's so big it can kill people!"
The chickens hid in their roosts and their crowing became less loud.
When they tried to open the door, they saw someone using a snow blower to clean the entrance. The snow was falling all the time, but the thickness of the accumulation was not enough to affect walking.
If there are children at home, they will leave them to the care of the elderly or other children.
The charcoal fire can last all day.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a flashlight x99 by 'worshiping the God of Wealth']
Jiusu was extremely surprised and immediately distributed the newly acquired supplies. These days, apart from the copper leaves, they also had the warm supplies needed for winter. She was very grateful to the God of Wealth.
She said, "Push it forward and it will light up. Use it sparingly and it will last you all winter."
Chen Linghua couldn't let it go: "This is better than a candle. At least the wind won't blow it out. Thank you, boss!"
It stopped snowing for two days and now it's a sunny day.
After the snow on the road was almost cleared, Jiusu returned to Suming County. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jing's method was really effective. Combined with Jinxiu Pavilion's overnight work, he had several thousand.
Jiusu said, "Huh, we'll collect another batch the day after tomorrow and then ship it to the border. Zitan, you take care of this."
She side-eyed and said again.
"Koshao, have you found out what happened?"
Kou Shao nodded: "Li Yulan has left Suming County, and the bandits in Yinshan seem to be making some moves."
Jiusu was the first to curl his lips, his eyes clear as water. "Zitan, please stay here to take care of the down jackets. Also, notify the shops under your name and prepare for defense. Kou Shao and I will stay in Chenjia Village for the next few days until we wipe out the bandits!"
That night, Luo Wanjia brought hundreds of bandits to the factory quietly.
Jiusu was surprised: "So many people?"
"The other half has already set out for Yinshan. Perhaps they've already sneaked in and are waiting for the opportunity." Luo Wanjia patted his chest and said gratefully, "This time, I owe Miss Jiu another favor."
Jiusu said: "Master Luo is too polite. Cooperating to defeat the enemy is nothing more than mutual benefit."
"Hahaha, Miss Jiu is still as cheerful as ever. I admire you." Luo Wanjia took off his cloak and instantly realized that something was wrong. Why is it so warm here? And what is that outside?
Where's the snow? Has it all been cleared away?
He was curious but didn't dare to ask, so he could only secretly tell himself that he must not offend Jiusu. This man was not like a human, but like a god, and there were too many things about him that could not be explained.
But after so many years in the martial arts world, he knew one thing.
The more you know, the faster you die.
The people in Chenjia Village knew that there were bandits and that it was the boss's decision. They were just surprised and acted as if nothing had happened, because they knew that it was the boss who hired them to deal with the Yinshan bandits.
The Camel Mountain bandits were very curious.
It also helped a lot with production.
The villagers and the bandits fought each other.
Chen Linghua said, "So there are good bandits out there."
Luo Wanjia looked up and said, "Of course, bandits are also human beings, and everyone has good and bad sides. But were you practicing martial arts this morning?"
"Yes." Village Chief Chen laughed, "Even I can fight against a bandit now."
Mingheng put his hands behind his back, looking at the ox carts in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, he jumped down from the tree, came to Jiusu and said, "There are several ox carts coming, maybe they are here."
Jiusu took out a telescope and looked at a group of people only a thousand meters away from the village entrance.
"Well, you hide first and follow the plan."
She slowly walked down the stairs and spoke to the person who was giving birth.
"Now that they're here, do they know what they're going to do?"
Village Chief Chen, as the representative, nodded and said, "Tonight, after watching the show, everyone should close the door, grab your weapons, and join your friends from Camel Mountain in fighting against the bandits from Yin Mountain!"
