How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 133 The Corpse Collection Team in the City
The ancient country people revolved around the word "survival" all year round and were not qualified to engage in any entertainment activities.

That is to say, during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year and the Chinese New Year at the end of the year, except for a few days that are relaxing, the rest of the time is spent doing farm work with eyes open and sleeping with eyes closed.Or they would take advantage of the darkness and the couple would have a baby in bed like crazy.

If you are in good health, you can give birth to one or twenty babies in one go.If the family is lucky, half as many children will live to adulthood.

Without the adult man who supports the family, it is impossible for Chen Feiyan, Wang Yingying and others to do anything else.They just seize the time and frantically weave straw sandals and coir raincoats.

It's raining heavily outside again today.

The continuous rain hit the loess, and soon the uneven ground was wet and soft.

When farmers cut handfuls of vegetables in the vegetable fields, their feet are covered with sticky yellow mud.There is a shallow pit for each foot, and if the soles of the feet are not firmly planted, they will be slippery.

On rainy days, neither Chen Feiyan nor Wang Yingying dared to go out.

People with bound feet cannot walk steadily.If you accidentally walk into the mud on a rainy day, you will be even more unstable.

If you accidentally fall down and break your limbs or something, you might be dead within two years.

In rural areas, where can I have extra money to treat my family members?
Originally, everyone was about to die. If they became a burden, it would be okay for a short time. If it took a long time, everyone would be bored and even wish each other died.

Chen Feiyan didn't want to lose big because of small things, and she didn't dare to gamble on other people's conscience. She could only reduce the possibility of injury after careful consideration.

……

Chen Feiyan was finishing her raincoat at home, while Chen Yixuan was working hard in the lower reaches of the Youshui River in the pouring rain.

The government officials who were supervising the progress of the project were holding whips that were about to spark off. If they, the common people, didn't put in more effort, the whips would hit them later.

The heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and within an hour, the Youshui River began to swell.

The lower reaches of Youshui River border with Huangsha River, another tributary of the Yellow River, in Qiwan Town.So much so that when the Huangsha River surges in May and June every year, it flows back into the lower reaches of the Youshui River.

Over time, a large amount of yellow sand has accumulated in the lower reaches of the Youshui River.Over time, the river bed rises.

Every year during heavy rains, Qiwan Town will be flooded for several days.

Even if tens of thousands of civilians in the county are requisitioned every few years, it will be difficult to completely solve the problem of river water flowing back into the county after the river bed is raised.

……

Water is as soft as it is strong.

When the water droplets gather little by little to form a clear and shallow stream, the water is gentle.

When the small streams slowly converge into rivers, lakes and seas, the water becomes quite powerful.

The rain was pouring down, and the water levels in the rivers were rising.The surface of the river was blown by the violent wind, setting off waves that were already higher than one wave after another.

The peasants standing on both sides of the river bank were all wet.

Seeing that the swollen river water had reached their knees, each of them instinctively ran towards the higher embankment.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the river is coming up!"

"Quick, quick! Ah! Don't squeeze me!"

"..."

Suddenly, both sides of the river embankment were noisy.

This weak-boned man, without paying attention, was pushed down by the people behind him, and then trampled in the water and on the ground by those who were eager to escape.

Fortunately, most of the people in this group are either father and son, brothers, of the same race, or from the same hometown.

Seeing their relative fall to the ground, they quickly picked him up.Then, one by one, they stepped on the wet river bank and ran for their lives.

The government officials with whips in their hands originally wanted to force them to continue to commit suicide, but these civilians who were eager to escape were no longer under their control.

……

This storm lasted for three days.

Three days later, it has not stopped, and it is still raining lightly.

Those who were forced to stay indoors to hide from the rain have felt that the air is extremely humid these days, and the walls are almost soaked by the rain.

Soon, a series of casualties occurred in Qiwan Town and the county town on the other side.

The poor people who have no money to repair their houses are in a hurry to get angry because their houses are in disrepair.

It was storming outside, and it was drizzling inside.

When it was drizzling outside, it was drizzling inside.

There are many such poor households in towns and counties. Under the heavy rain for several days, they all contracted the cold without exception.

One by one, they all developed headaches and brain fever.

Especially the refugees in the county who lost their houses and fields due to accidents one after another.They even froze to death in some dead-end alleys where they temporarily lived.

The cul-de-sac is surrounded by walls on three sides and has only one path leading to the main street.

In such an environment, the refugees who lost their houses and fields just relied on the wooden boards they picked up to build a place for their whole family to curl up and sleep.

On weekdays, the docks in the county and town can receive work.However, the money they earned was barely enough to keep the family fed and hungry.If you think about anything else, it will be gone.

Nowadays, the refugees sleeping in the cul-de-sac either died of the cold, were drowned by the heavy rain, or were blown to death by the cold wind at night.

When the rainstorm finally stopped and the sun really came out, the city's corpse collection team showed up again.

Here I pick up a baby girl who has been abandoned by others, and there I pick up a dead child who has been starved to skin and bones.Or go to the cul-de-sacs between the streets to find those dead, tough families.

This happens every year, and the people in the corpse collection team are numb.

……

Heavy rain is the best thing to test river engineering.

After the heavy rains in the past few days, the water in the county has risen to people's ankles.It has not yet crossed the threshold of each household.

Every businessman in the county said that Mr. Zhao, the county magistrate, was a man who could do practical things.The considerable river management fee they paid was not a loss!It has been put to practical use.

If the river is not managed and the water surges and floods the warehouses of their major shops, the losses will be huge!

Magistrate Zhao Da was in a very happy mood after once again receiving good reviews from major shop owners and being sent a message by them to take him to the hotel for a drink.

Feeling that he was losing his status by being too close to the businessman, County Magistrate Zhao asked the housekeeper to decline for him.

Strengthen the river embankment again, clean up the silt in the river, and carry out the yellow mud from the county town outside the city...

It took more than 5 requisitioned civilian workers less than half a month to get everything done.

Every villager was very happy to be released home.Especially since no one in the family is sick, and no one has fallen into the river and drowned.
