This storm was not only a disaster for Zhangjia Village, but also a disaster for the entire Longhuan Town. Almost every household was damaged and people were panicked.
When the rain gradually became lighter, darkness fell.
The entire village near Yuelong Mountain was plunged into darkness. The circuit was destroyed and workers were unable to carry out repairs in the heavy rain. The candles purchased by Zhang Shengli came in handy today.
At this time, the Zhangjia Village Committee was surrounded by villagers, some smoking cigarettes in the corridor, and some sitting and resting in the hall.
The children played like they never got bored.
A small village committee gathered villagers from four villages. The originally empty village committee now seemed a little crowded.
Zhang Shengli and a group of village leaders were sitting in the conference room, having an emergency meeting.
"Have the tourists been settled?" Zhang Shengli glanced at Zhu Yao sitting next to him and asked in a low voice.
"A large part of them took advantage of the light rain and sent them away temporarily, but only a small part of them were unwilling to leave."
Hearing this, Zhang Shengli frowned.
Tang Rou explained at the side: "These people stayed voluntarily to help us tide over the difficulties. If the county had not given clear instructions, there would probably be more people staying."
Zhang Shengli's eyes were red and he was a little angry.
"How can we overcome this difficulty? It will rain heavily tonight. What if something happens to them if they stay here?"
Zhu Yao said nothing, lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What are you talking about? Didn't we do our job?" Zhang Xinyi cursed when he saw Zhang Shengli was indistinguishable, and couldn't help but said: "These tourists who stayed were approved by the higher authorities, and they took the initiative to apply to stay.
What can Yaoyao do?"
Zhang Shengli stopped talking and stood up directly and walked to the hall.
"Dog!"
"Shengli! What's wrong?" Zhang Erquan was busy appeasing everyone. Hearing Zhang Shengli's shout, he ran over quickly.
"Take a few people and bring all the remaining tourists here." At this point, Zhang Shengli turned back and shouted toward the window of the conference room: "How many people are left in total?"
"There are eleven more people." Zhu Yao wiped her tears and responded.
"Okay, remember, no one of the eleven people should be missing, bring them all here."
Zhang Erquan nodded and took a few young people to call for help. Zhang Shengli returned to the conference room again.
At this time, it was around seven o'clock in the evening, and except for the faint candlelight, the entire village committee no longer had the same brightly lit scene as before.
Entering the conference room again, Zhang Shengli took a deep breath and said directly: "No one can predict this natural disaster. We can only do our best to fight against it. As long as we survive tonight, tomorrow will be better."
"After tonight, each village will make a report on the losses. The houses that should be repaired and built will be repaired. All expenses will be borne by our Zhangjia Village."
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell silent.
Zhang Shengli knew that the current strength of Zhangjiacun alone could not complete the reconstruction of the other three villages, but he had no choice.
He discussed this matter with Zhang Xinyi in advance and everyone agreed.
At this time, a beast roar came from Yuelong Mountain, and then, a series of wild beasts roared throughout Yuelong Mountain.
A rare occurrence in thousands of years, this situation made everyone quiet down, and the entire village committee was eerily quiet.
"Something happened in the mountains."
Zhang Shengli sighed slightly. He knew that this situation must have happened in the mountains, but it was night and he could not enter the mountains.
"Victory, everyone has brought it!" Zhang Erquan's voice came.
Zhang Shengli led a group of people in charge out of the conference room.
Looking at the tourists wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas in front of him, Zhang Shengli bowed deeply to them without saying anything.
Zhang Shengli had just finished, and all the people behind him bowed to the eleven people in front of him.
"Boss Zhang, what are you doing?"
A middle-aged man stepped forward quickly and said: "Everyone is responsible for the disaster. We can't do much to help, but we can still help with a small favor."
"Thank you!" Zhang Shengli opened his mouth, and only these two words came out after a long time.
"We haven't eaten yet, let's finish the meal first." At this time, the fourth aunt led the women from the village carrying several large buckets of food to the hall.
"Okay, let's eat first, and then think of something after eating." Zhang Shengli quickly arranged for everyone to eat.
The beasts roared continuously, and heavy rain began to fall again. Where could anyone find food?
"noob!"
Suddenly, a white figure jumped out from the crowd and came directly to Zhang Shengli's feet.
Open your mouth, grab Zhang Shengli's trousers, and pull them out hard.
"What's the situation?"
Everyone was attracted by this scene, and many people didn't know Xiaobai's existence.
"It seems to be taking me somewhere." Zhang Shengli looked at Xiaobai, who was still dripping with water, and began to think deeply.
"It's getting dark now, where else can we go?" Zhang Xinqiang walked over at this moment.
"I'll go take a look!" Zhang Shengli took a flashlight from Zhang Erquan's hand and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go out for a while."
"No, it's too dangerous. It's raining harder and harder outside. If you go out at this time, don't you want to live?" Zhang Xinyi objected.
However, Xiaobai's screams became louder and louder, echoing the roars of the beasts in Yuelong Mountain, and Zhang Shengli had a vague premonition in his heart.
"It's okay. The deepest part of Yuelong Mountain is my back garden. This little rain is nothing." Zhang Shengli tried his best to keep his tone calm and try not to worry anyone.
In the end, no one twisted him around. Tang Rou said worriedly, "Then be careful."
"Don't worry."
Xiaobai seemed to be very excited when he saw Zhang Shengli following him. In this dark night, he was like a night elf, running quickly towards the direction of Yuelong Mountain.
Every time it runs a certain distance, it stops and waits for victory.
The road at night was not easy, not to mention the thunder and lightning.
Zhang Shengli held a flashlight and followed Xiaobai all the way.
There was water everywhere at this time, and many trees could not withstand the wind and rain and fell in pieces. Zhang Shengli also saw some furniture washed away by the rain on the road.
When he came to the collapsed area in the back mountain, Xiaobai stopped his progress and screamed here.
"You want to tell me what's under this rock?"
After working on it for a long time, Zhang Shengli finally understood what Xiaobai meant. However, he could not move the huge rocks in front of him by himself.
"No, it's too dangerous here. We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."
However, Xiaobai still refused to leave and kept yelling at these boulders.
"In this case, I will ask people to come together tomorrow to move this huge boulder away. No one will move here anyway."
Seeing Zhang Shengli's firm attitude, Xiaobai seemed to understand what he said and finally stopped shouting.
Zhang Shengli became more and more curious about Xiaobai. This was by no means an ordinary dog. It could be said that this was not a dog at all, but an animal that he could not name.
With a sigh, Zhang Shengli picked up Xiaobai and braved the rain again, returning to the village committee. At the same time, he became curious about the landslide.
