Chapter 271 Protective Wall

After returning home, Lian Yao walked around her yard for the first time.

The compound is at the westernmost end of the whole village, and the back mountain where it is located directly connects with Sishen Mountain.If a wild animal comes down the mountain, your own home will bear the brunt.

After turning around, Lian Yao felt a deep crisis.It is impossible to move, but fortunately, the senior brother has foreseen that the walls of the house are built high and strong, so the problem at home is not too big.

But bypassing the compound, what about these people in the village?They are not as strong as their own.Moreover, you can't just stay at home and have to farm for food.You can't plant a land, and you have to worry about losing your life at any time, right?
Lian Yao stood halfway up the mountain, overlooking the entire village.

I originally thought that Chitose Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it was an excellent geomantic treasure.But looking at it now, it was like a death talisman, and the village became a lamb lying in the mouth of the wild beast without any defense.

Unless, build a wall to enclose the whole village.

However, even if Lian Yao didn't understand it, he knew how big the project was to build a wall around the village.Not to mention manpower, the bricks for the walls are a problem.Besides, the snow has almost melted now, and the beasts on the mountain probably won't give them so much time to build the wall safely.

Is there a convenient and fast way?
While pondering, the fat aunt's voice came from the compound calling her to go home for dinner.Lian Yao sighed softly, forget it, go back and ask senior brother if there is any good way.

After hitting the back door, Lian Yao was just about to go in when she raised her foot, when Lian Yao suddenly looked back in a strange way.The back door is on the right side of the road up the mountain, and there is a small bamboo forest.The bamboo forest is not big, but the bamboo grows so many and densely that it is impossible to pass through.

Looking at it, Lian Yao laughed.Isn't this a ready-made material?If a circle of bamboo is planted around the village, isn't it a natural protective wall?
The clustered bamboo has good toughness and grows densely, so it cannot be easily broken or broken.The beasts that descended from the mountain had no way to cross these bamboo walls and break into the village.On the inner side, bamboo poles and ropes can be used to reinforce several horizontally to form a real bamboo wall.It is enough to leave a solid bamboo fence wide for two people in the passage that needs to enter and exit, and make it double-layered. Although it will be troublesome, it is safe.

Thinking of a solution, Lian Yao walked into the room with ease.

After eating, several people sat there chatting.The fat aunt said suddenly: "I heard that people from these towns begged the village chief and wanted to stay in the village."

A few people didn't say anything.After the natural disaster, the village took in a lot of people, but most of them were related to relatives, some took them in, and it was hard to say about the rest of the village.But these people have no foundation at all, and the village probably won't agree to take them in.

Sure enough, when Aunt Fat went out for a walk in the afternoon, she got the news that the village head had rejected the request of these people.

It turned out that the work in the field was almost finished, and there was nothing to hire people to do before the rice planting.Even if these people save food and expenses every day, they will not be able to leave much food in these few days.They can't earn rations, and they dare not go back to the town, or it's useless to go back to the town. They have no land, no source of food, and they will starve to death, so they are anxious to stay in Chitose Village.

As for why they chose Chitose Village, it was because some of the group of people they came out with and scattered to work in several other villages had already contracted the disease.There is no doctor or medicine, so I can only watch and wait to die.And Chitose Village is the only place where no villagers got sick after the snow disaster.

When it comes to refusal, everyone is silent.It's not that they are cold-blooded, but that they are too scared.The sudden natural disaster, some people are already spreading the news that the end of the world is coming.It's just that more people don't want to admit it.

The end of the world means that everyone may die.Only by not admitting it can we retain the hope of living.

But the cruel reality cannot help them pretend to be confused.So they live cautiously and live like walking on eggshells.At such a moment, how could they easily accept outsiders to disrupt their lives?
"Fate, it's all fate!" Aunt Fat wiped the corners of her eyes, looked up at Lian Yao and Wu Qingfeng, and was glad again that she had not misjudged the person.

"Is the work in the village almost finished?" Lian Yao asked Zhu Guozhong.

Zhu Guozhong nodded.Other people's family cherishes food, but in fact, this labor force is not bad. In the past, no one helped, didn't they just clean up the land with just a few members of the family?
Except for their family, after the first round of rough plowing, they felt that the work was rough, so they went back to the second round of fine plowing.After the second plowing, it is necessary to prepare to grow vegetables in the greenhouse. After the vegetables are planted, the rice seedlings can be transplanted.So it will take some time until their homework is finished.

But this time these people in the town are very united and usually help each other.The dozen or so people who helped in the compound still had work to do, but the others couldn't wait to share their rations.

If they can stay in the village, they don't dare to expect extravagant farmland, but they can open up a few more fields around them and grow something by themselves.It is also a way of life.

"Actually, I have an idea."

Lian Yao said what she thought before.To enclose the whole village, this kind of bamboo is not easy.Villagers are busy with farm work, so they can hire these people to grow bamboo.

Of course, they won't do it all, and the whole village needs to be involved.

Everyone agrees with Lian Yao's proposal.It is related to the safety of the whole village, and no one cares about it.

So that night, Wu Qingfeng went to the village chief to talk about it. He stayed at the village chief's house for a long time, and did not come back until Lian Yao was about to go to bed.

The next day, the village chief called everyone to a meeting.

"Qingfeng went out for the past two days, and found that many wild animals on the mountain came down to look for food. And those pets that were raised before have also become very vicious. They have seen the scene of people being eaten by dogs with their own eyes."

"Our village is surrounded by mountains. There are countless beasts in the mountains, so we have to guard against them first. To prevent wild beasts from entering the village, we have to install a protective wall for the village. Everyone said that this was done. No?"

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the discussion below became louder.They couldn't believe it, but no one questioned Wu Qingfeng's words.After all, he almost didn't miss what he said every time.Those who didn't believe him at first ended up suffering.He has learned a lot from a pit, and now that he speaks again, no one dares to question him casually.Even if some people are not convinced.

But soon some people envied the compound.When the compound was heightened and the walls strengthened, many people laughed at them for making the compound look like a prison, and living in it was like being in prison.Now it has become the strongest security fortress.Even if the fence is not built in the village, their family can rest easy.

Therefore, when they heard that the compound would also participate, many people felt much more comfortable and paid more attention to the construction of the fence.After all, whether the protective wall is built or not has little impact on the people in the compound, but they are still willing to participate, which shows that they feel that the situation is serious.Reasonable people also understand in their hearts that this is for the sake of the entire village.
