Chapter 596: Farming in Peace

The injury on Tang Zhengpo's body was inflicted by Tang Zhengsu "accidentally" in front of Tang Zhengrong, because Tang Zhengpo didn't agree to pool points to purchase another helicopter for the Profound Wind Sect.

The Profound Wind Sect was co-founded by Tang Zhengpo, and although he had been squeezed out of the upper management, he was still considered a member of the Profound Wind Sect.

Tang Zhengrong had only scolded his younger brother a few times afterward, telling him to apologize to his cousin. Tang Zhengrong was also very annoyed about Tang Zhengpo leaving the safe zone to develop in the territory and escaping his control.

But now the situation had changed, and Tang Zhengrong needed Tang Zhengpo to stand out and help him deal with the crisis; he could only lower his head for the time being.

The higher he climbed in his position, the thicker his skin became. Even after being humiliated in public, he could still admit his mistake with a sincere face, while handing over a soft knife, "Sister-in-law's reminder is right. It's not safe outside; Big Brother, don't bother seeing me off, I'll go myself. It's indeed chaotic during this period; Big Brother, just stay at home and recuperate. I'll handle the matters outside. No matter when, we are all one family; we prosper together and suffer together."

His meaning was very clear: I'm still the one calling the shots for matters outside. If I don't get better, don't think you'll have it good either.

Hearing his words, Tang Zhengpo still watched him leave with a gentle smile before greeting his wife and daughter, "Shumin, Ning-ning, come over; let's pay your grandmother a New Year's call together."

Hearing the door behind him slam shut, Tang Zhengrong got into the car with a gloomy face.

Before he could instruct the driver where to go next, Tang Lu's phone call came through, crying and saying, "Uncle, Grandma has fainted."

Crying, crying, crying, when is this, and all you know is crying! Tang Zhengrong suppressed his anger and asked, "Have you called an ambulance?"

Tang Lu was so frightened by her uncle's cold tone that she didn't dare to cry anymore, "I called, but I'm the only one at home. I can't get through to my brother and sister's phones; I don't know where they went."

"You take care of your grandmother first; I'll send someone over right away." Tang Zhengrong hung up the phone and ordered with a gloomy face, "Have Bao Zhengchao come to the office."

Tang Zhengsu was dead, Tang Rui had run away, and the current Profound Wind Sect was a pile of loose sand. Since Tang Zhengpo refused to intervene, he could only pick a general from among the short ones and have Bao Zhengchao take the lead to gather the sand into a tower again.

The Profound Wind Sect must not scatter, otherwise he would be finished too.

Tat-tat-tat—

Inside Territory No. 3, Xia Qing was driving the micro-tiller, pushing the snow shaken off the large shed to the side with the bulldozer blade. Then she turned off the micro-tiller, got out of the car, and began loading the snow into the cart of the sheep-drawn carriage with a large iron shovel.

This snow had to be piled up by the reservoir, otherwise, after the snow melted, it would flood the crops in the large shed.

Seeing that Xia Qing wasn't driving the micro-tiller anymore, the Sick Wolf and Sheep Boss also jumped off the carriage.

The Sick Wolf jumped into the snow pile, and it took a good while before it revealed its head, grinning at Xia Qing.

"Lao Er, here I come!" Xia Qing threw the shovel aside, jumped up, and smashed into the snow pile that was over a person's height. Then she rolled a snowball and smashed it onto the forehead of Sheep Boss, who was watching the fun.

Xia Qing laughed out loud. Sheep Boss shook its head, charged directly into the snow pile to flip Xia Qing over, but was hugged by the neck by Xia Qing and thrown into the snow pile instead.

Xia Qing jumped up and ran toward the empty space beside them, "Boss, come, let's have a fight."

Sheep Boss was enraged, jumped up, shook off the snow on its body, and charged toward Xia Qing.

"Bang!"

The human and the sheep collided in the snow, and it was still Xia Qing who was sent flying.

Cao Xianyun, an auditory evolutionist who had come to the south of Territory No. 3, laughed, "Sister Qing is in a good mood today, fighting with her sheep again. Boss, there's no need to confirm this, right?"

She didn't know what that bunch of idiots in the Territory Management Department were thinking; on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, they actually demanded that the investigation team immediately check the personnel situation of each territory.

The other investigation team members also turned to look at Tan Junjie, waiting for his order.

"Need to confirm." Tan Junjie remained serious, took out his phone, and dialed Xia Qing's number, "Xia Qing, come to the south gate of the territory for a moment."

Why not use the walkie-talkie? Because Zhang San was likely sleeping with the walkie-talkie on, and he was afraid of disturbing him.

"Good, right away." Xia Qing responded quickly, coaxed Sheep Boss with compressed rations, and then hurried to the south of the territory and opened the gate.

Tan Junjie explained the situation and asked, "Are you the only one in the territory now?"

Xia Qing nodded, "Hu Zifeng has already returned to Territory No. 1; now it's just me."

After confirming that the owner of Territory No. 3 was in the territory, Tan Junjie led the team toward Territory No. 4 next to it.

After they left, Xia Qing glanced at the empty Territory No. 2, looked at the messy Territory No. 9 that had been bombed next to Territory No. 2, and finally looked up at the tall signal tower erected between the two territories. She locked her iron gate calmly, and a smile appeared on her face.

Great, she could finally farm in peace for a while.

At 8:30 in the morning, there was sound in the territory owner channel.

"It snowed so heavily again last night, and the temperature is about to rise. Brother Shi, Brother Qi, do you think so much snow melting will trigger flash floods and mudslides?"

Farmers have the worries of farmers. Kuang Qingwei, who was the only one left in the territory, asked in the channel, full of worry.

Qi Fu went online, "This winter is indeed much colder than the last, and it snowed more than last year. Whether mudslides will occur is really hard to say, but making preparations in advance won't hurt."

Shi Zuo also went online, "If there really are mudslides and flash floods, the most dangerous ones are the six territories near the mountain. It's best to take advantage of these few days to reinforce the large sheds and greenhouses in advance and dig good drainage ditches. Brother Kuang, Shi Du and I will come over to help you fix it."

Territories 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all near the mountain. Among the five territories in the territory alliance, the one that most needed a helping hand now was Territory No. 5, which only had two wounded people.

Xia Qing also said, "Brother Shi, have Shi Du drive my micro-tiller over; using a machine will be faster."

When Xia Qing entered the territory, she had considered the problem of flash floods and mudslides, and the places where she lived and farmed wouldn't be too affected. However, just in case, she had already dug good drainage ditches.

Kuang Qingwei said immediately, "Many thanks, Brother Shi, many thanks, Sister Xia Qing. Truly many thanks to everyone; if it weren't for everyone's help, my wife and I would have had our bones chewed to pieces by now."

Joining the territory alliance was the most correct decision Kuang Qingwei had made last year!

Wen Nengjie from Territory No. 17 also spoke up, "Brother Qing, I'll bring a few people over to help too."

Kuang Qingwei, who was short of manpower, naturally wouldn't refuse, "Good, good, many thanks, Brother Jie. Do you think it's okay if I pay a reward of 3 points plus one ration per day? I'm not afraid of Brother Jie laughing at me, but my wife and I are so poor now that we can only eat rations washed down with water every day; we really can't take out any more."

The price for hiring ordinary people to work in the territory is 3 to 5 points per day. Kuang Qingwei offered 3 points plus one ration, which was 4 points per day. This price was neither high nor low, very reasonable. ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
