After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 206 Everyone should have confidence
Although Peijiawan Village is small, with only thirty or forty households, most families had two or three people, excluding those who worked in town. Qi Yunran's house was suddenly packed with them.

At this point, no one was in the mood to comfort the village chief, who was on the verge of tears; they were on the verge of tears too, worried about their relatives who were making goods for their employers in town and other places.

They were even more heartbroken that their homes had been destroyed by the flood! Everyone was filled with fear and anxiety, waiting for the flood to recede so they could see if their houses had been destroyed!
They were also worried that the livestock they were feeding would drown.

Uncle Liu was also worried about his cow, and silently sat on the ground shedding tears!
The atmosphere suddenly became somber!
Just then, the village chief suddenly asked, "Dalang, how did you know there was a flash flood?"

Everyone turned their attention to this; if it weren't for Dalang, they would all be dead tonight!
"Thank you, Brother, for saving our lives!"

When they first heard the black-clad guards say that a flash flood was about to break out, they didn't believe them at all, thinking they were lying and even chased them away.

They were brought up, and the parents thought they were bad people trying to rebel. But no sooner had they been brought up than their home was swept away by a flood, vanishing before their very eyes!

They've encountered storms before, but they never expected this one to be so severe!

Thankfully, Dalang's men saved them; otherwise, they would all have been swept away by the flood! Even now, thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"We were also awakened by the huge rushing water from the landslide behind the mountain. We were close by, so we heard any noise immediately. After we woke up, my wife told us to split into several groups to inform everyone. Luckily, we were there in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Thank you, Dalang and Yunran, for saving our lives. If it weren't for you, we would all be... sigh..." The village chief choked up as he spoke, but he was the backbone of the village, and even he panicked.

The villagers are likely to be even more panicked.

"Village chief, you're being too polite. We're all from the same village and have been neighbors for many years. There's no need to be so formal!"

The group offered a few perfunctory words of thanks, but what they were really thinking was, what's the point of living if they have nothing left?
Seeing their low spirits and lack of will to live, Qi Yunran immediately rallied them, saying, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Pei Yuanjun is a member of the imperial court. As long as we report to the Emperor, this place can definitely be rebuilt! Have faith!"

All eyes turned expectantly to Pei Yuanjun: "Don't worry, everyone. I've already sent a message by carrier pigeon to inform the Emperor about what's happening here. The Emperor will definitely send reinforcements soon." Hearing Pei Yuanjun say this, everyone felt a little more at ease.

There weren't enough beds in the house for everyone to sleep in, so they each found a corner to squat down and stared blankly at the sky outside!
Qi Yunran boiled water and added ginger slices, and Aunt Liu and Wu Guihua came in to help.

The ginger soup was ready, and everyone had a bowl to ward off the cold!

Everyone thanked Qi Yunran, and after they finished drinking, Qi Yunran cleaned up the bowls and washed them.

The villagers stayed awake all night, their eyes wide open until dawn!

Fortunately, the heavy rain stopped when it got light!

Everyone looked at the flooded village with deep concern.

Uncle Liu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw so much water.

His cow! It must have drowned!
Infected by his cries, everyone else also wiped away their tears and couldn't help but burst into sobs!
That's it, everything's gone!
The once vibrant village has been completely transformed into a vast ocean.

All the crops, livestock, and other valuables were gone.

The money I painstakingly saved for my son's future wife is gone, and half a lifetime's worth of effort is gone too!
The cries of anguish rose and fell, and Qi Yunran was so moved that she also began to cry!

Pei Yuanjun came to her and asked with concern, "Ranran, what's wrong?"
