Chapter 106 No need to retreat eastward?
When you get busy, the day goes by quickly.
By evening, the campsite was much livelier than the day before.
Jiang Mianmian added the last batch of supplies to the minibus. "Lord Shi, Registrar, that's about it. Write down anything else you need and give it to me later. I'll contact Fairy again tonight."
The two agreed in unison, and she jumped out of the car and walked towards a relatively high hillside.
She thought the thing she was thinking about in Taoyuan yesterday was very feasible.
Instead of retreating east, we should leave them behind!
With the rain stopping and the temperature gradually rising, there should be at least a ten-day buffer period, during which she can make full use of the people in the eastward evacuation team.
Some people will continue digging to preserve these creatures as much as possible and store them in the paradise; others can build houses, container houses, caves, and even existing village houses can be used and improved. They can also build greenhouses to grow vegetables and make large quantities of ice. If they work together, getting through the extreme heat should not be a problem.
Standing on high ground, Jiang Mianmian took out a map.
This was found in the warehouse yesterday; it was a treasured possession of the Ye family, and now it's hers.
The map is not as good as modern maps, but the borders of Rongguo and important geographical locations are still very clear.
Fengshui County is located in a relatively central position. The mountains to the east are already a large area in her memory, but when placed on a map, the whole area is actually quite flat.
Further south lies a range of mountains, situated right on an earthquake zone.
So, besides earthquakes, the volcanic eruption that Tongzi mentioned could also occur on the south side, which is a dangerous area.
The extreme cold in the north can reach tens of degrees below zero, and unlike Fengshui County, which has four seasons, it is extremely cold all year round and is a dangerous area.
To the west are vast deserts, the opposite of the north, where sandstorms are intense and the area is extremely hot year-round, making it a dangerous zone.
Jiang Mianmian turned her gaze to the east, where the coast is. Could there be a possibility of seawater flooding in? Tongzi hadn't mentioned this, so it needed to be verified. It was a dangerous area.
So, it seems that Fengshui County's geographical location is quite good? There are no longer any risks of floods or mudslides, which means it's safe to stay!
Not only do we not need to retreat eastward, we should even gather people from all four directions!
In this way, her merit points will definitely increase rapidly!
Having made up her mind, Jiang Mianmian put away the map and prepared to say goodbye to Magistrate Ye and the others, and temporarily return to the cave and the Ye family.
She was a little out of her mind and needed to discuss it with Ninth Sister first, and then tell Old Madam Ye about it, so that they wouldn't leave in a hurry.
But just as she put the map away, she saw a large group of over a hundred people approaching in the distance, passing through Qingbao Village and heading towards the minibus.
She took out her binoculars and looked closely. These people were all dressed in the clothes of yamen runners, carrying bows and arrows or longswords. They looked menacing and clearly had ill intentions.
After shifting the direction again, I saw Feng Qian watching the commotion in the yard, a smug smile on his face.
He's so happy, but she's not.
Jiang Mianmian put away her binoculars, took out a sniper rifle, and aimed it at Feng Qian's right arm.
"Snapped!"
"what!"
The screams echoed from afar, and Jiang Mianmian put away her gun, relieved.
I'll spare your life for now. If I can't kill you, I'll at least cripple you.
In the courtyard, Feng Qian burst into tears, crying out, "Ah! Quick, quick, call the village doctor over!"
The underlings were dumbfounded. How did their boss suddenly start bleeding from his arm? And why was he screaming so pitifully?
"Go! Hurry up and go!"
He curled up on the ground, raised his other arm and pointed in the direction from which the projectile had come, "Two people, go along this road and find the person who threw the projectile!"
"Hidden weapons? No wonder, let's go!"
The two hurriedly gave chase, and the person looking for the village doctor also ran out.
Feng Qian pressed hard on his arm; the intense pain made him a little confused.
He couldn't understand why, just a moment ago he was fantasizing about how powerful the head of the squad would be, how he would capture or kill that damned girl Jiang Mianmian, and then the treasure-filled car would be theirs, but the next moment he suddenly got hit by a hidden weapon.
No one in Qingbao Village dared to oppose him! Could he be from Fengshui County?
That doesn't make sense. He didn't even show his face, so how could he be held a grudge? And he can even use such a bizarre hidden weapon!
"Ah~"
He couldn't think straight anymore. His vision blurred, and all he could think about was that once they brought the man back, he would tear him to pieces to vent his hatred!
The village doctor arrived quickly, and his heart sank when he saw so much blood. "Quick, come inside! Boil some water!"
My younger brother has already boiled water and prepared a white cloth, and he has carried everything into the house.
The village doctor cut open Feng Qian's clothes, cleaned him, and applied wound medicine. "Such a big cut, it will probably need to be stitched up. Where is the weapon?"
"Sewing..."
After saying that one word, Feng Qian completely fainted.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. "We didn't see the murder weapon, let alone the person."
Just then, the two underlings who had gone out to look for people returned. "There's no one on that road, it's all people from our village. Beyond that are the villagers from Fengshui County. They can't even afford to eat, where would they get the guts and ability to cause trouble?"
"What just happened? I've never seen this wound before."
The village doctor was very worried. After hearing what had happened, he felt even more strange. "It just happened for no reason? I can feel that the bones are cracked. Let's sew up the wound first, then fix it and see if the bones can heal properly."
Just before Feng Qian lost consciousness, he did indeed utter the word 'seam'.
Naturally, no one had any objections.
Half an hour later, the village doctor finally finished treating him. "Alright, that's enough for now. We used all the best medicine. He's still unconscious. What do you think about the cost of the medicine and the consultation fee?"
Someone asked, "How much?"
"Fifty taels."
The village doctor said without batting an eye, "This price is not expensive at all. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't prescribe such good medicine. It's just that Feng Qian has a good reputation, and I know he definitely wouldn't shortchange me."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, the heavy rains of the past few days had almost cut off the village from the county town and other places. Rice, grains, and medicinal herbs were the scarcest resources, and ten taels of silver was not expensive.
"Don't just nod, give me the money!"
The village doctor was getting impatient. "He'll need to have his dressings changed and the thrombus removed later."
The tone already carried a subtle threat.
These men were all Feng Qian's underlings, but they didn't actually have much money. Hearing this, they were both scared and anxious. One of them said, "Can we pay with grain? Grain in the city is over ten taels a pound. We'll give you ten pounds of coarse rice."
"Okay!"
The village doctor was delighted. "Wow, you guys are amazing! You managed to save up so much rice!"
The younger brother who offered the suggestion: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel a little guilty?
