Accompanied by the man's screams, Xia Meng gently picked up the girl who was tied under the bed.

Xia Meng first untied the rope on the girl.

As soon as the rope was untied, the girl shrank into the corner, her eyes frightened and unfocused, as if she was filled with anxiety and fear about the whole world.

Xia Meng hurriedly comforted him,

"Don't be afraid. The bad guy has been defeated. Don't be afraid. I will help you tear off the tape on your mouth now."

The girl hugged herself with her hands, tears fell silently, and her whole body was shaking violently.

Xia Meng knew that she must have been deeply hurt, which was why she was so scared.

In her first life, Xia Meng had seen too many girls like this, so she worked hard to train herself, make herself stronger, and try not to let herself fall into such a miserable situation.

Of course, there are also many girls who, in order to survive, have to submit themselves to the so-called "strong" men they don't like, and endure those men's rudeness, philandering, and disdain and contempt for them, just to stay alive.

but...

Most of what Xia Meng saw was that at the beginning, those men would indeed give girls some protection for the sake of novelty, but after a long time, the men got tired of playing around and their novelty for women disappeared, and then what awaited the girls was without exception... an even more tragic future.

As for the overbearing boss in the novel and perhaps the 'poor and pitiful little Baihua, or the scheming green tea girl...'

Novels are novels after all.

In the end, people have to rely on themselves!

At least the skills you have worked hard to learn to make a living can never be taken away by anyone.

You don't have to compromise in order to survive, and you don't have to endure all kinds of bad habits of men and then beg for mercy because men are tired of you. Even if you lose your own dignity as a human being, you won't get a trace of sympathy in return.

Perhaps it was the man's screams, or perhaps it was his miserable condition that made the girl slowly calm down.

When Xia Meng approached her again, she was afraid but no longer avoided him.

Xia Meng reached out and carefully tore off the tape on the girl's mouth.

The girl just opened her mouth and spoke to Xia Meng "ah ah". She seemed to want to say something, but couldn't say anything.

This is?

Deaf-mute?

In this world, it is difficult for normal people to live. If this girl is deaf and dumb, then...

Hey!

But just when Xia Meng thought the girl couldn't speak, she suddenly made a sound in a strange tone.

"Call the police!"

Xia Meng was shocked and looked at the girl carefully, and then she said it again.

"Call the police!"

Although the intonation of these two words was a bit strange, Xia Meng was sure that she did not hear it wrong.

"Okay! Okay!" Xia Meng said hurriedly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll call the police right away!"

After saying this, Xia Meng actually took out her cell phone and called the police.

It was too chaotic here and there were policemen on duty, so they arrived quickly.

Seeing the man lying on the ground in a disheveled state, obviously injured, the police asked Xia Meng,

"Governor Xia, what happened?"

Xia Meng briefly explained the situation, then pointed at the girl who was still huddled in the corner and said,

"This girl is the victim, but she seems to be...deaf and mute."

The girl huddled in the corner and refused to come out, as if that small, cold corner was the safest place in her heart.

Xia Meng was afraid that the girl would catch a cold, so she picked up a quilt and covered the girl with it. The girl held on to the quilt tightly and stared at everyone vigilantly.

But the girl also understood that it was Xia Meng who saved her, so when faced with Xia Meng's approach, the girl did not have much rejection reaction.

Seeing the police coming, the girl was very excited. She wanted to say something, but the more anxious she became, the less she could say it, and her eyes turned red with anxiety.

Seeing this, the police hurriedly comforted him.

"Tell me slowly, tell me slowly. Don't worry, we are here... You won't be hurt again."

Seeing the girl's nervous body trembling violently, Xia Meng hurriedly said,

"Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath!"

The girl was obedient. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowly calmed down and told the police about her experience. The girl cried and said that she looked so pitiful.

It turned out that the girl was indeed deaf and mute, but her parents loved her very much. One of her parents was a teacher, and the other was a small business owner, and she was the only child in the family, so they were willing to give her the best and teach her patiently. They even hired a teacher to help her speak.

Although the girl is deaf and mute, she has a high IQ and has always had good academic performance.

After the natural disaster began, her parents had been doing their best to protect her, but...

After the natural disaster, her mother lost her job first, and later, her father's small supermarket also went bankrupt. Her family's financial situation plummeted and they could barely make ends meet.

Some time ago, the authorities notified everyone to go to safe areas as a major earthquake was likely to occur.

The girl's parents took her to a safe zone, where she met the man Tian Wei.

Tian Wei was alone, and according to him, all his relatives died in the natural disaster.

Tian Wei looked honest and simple, and often helped their family. In addition, the two families lived relatively close to each other in the safe zone, so they had more frequent interactions.

After the earthquake, the girl's parents were trapped under the rubble, but they did not die at the time. The girl said that she clearly felt that when the earthquake came, although her family of three was trapped under the rubble, her parents were still alive.

Her parents even comforted her, telling her not to be afraid, that the authorities would definitely come to rescue them, and asked her to wait patiently.

The girl couldn't hold on and later fainted.

But when she woke up, officials came to inform her that her parents had unfortunately been hit on the head by some heavy objects in the earthquake and died!

How can this be?

She clearly remembered that her parents comforted her at that time. Although she couldn't hear them, they reached out and pulled her clothes. They were obviously in good spirits at that time...

The girl went to see the bodies of her parents. Her head was covered in blood and flesh, and it looked like she had been hit by a heavy object.

But at that time, the girl clearly remembered that there didn't seem to be that much blood on her parents' heads...

What exactly is going on?

The girl went to find the authorities, but everyone was busy with disaster relief and no one paid any attention to her.

Later, the official grain reserves were insufficient, many people had no food to eat, and many bad things happened.

When the girl was almost kidnapped, Tian Wei appeared.

Tian Wei appeared and saved her, and brought her to Tangzhou, saying that there was food in Tangzhou that would prevent them from starving to death.

The girl always regarded Tian Wei as an elder and thought that Tian Wei was a good person, so she followed Tian Wei to Tangzhou naively.

But before they reached Tangzhou, Tian Wei revealed his true colors on the road. He took the girl by force and even controlled her. He told people around him that the girl was his daughter, had some mental problems, and was deaf-mute...

The girl tried to ask for help several times on the way, but was discovered by Tian Wei and beaten violently.

As long as the girl dared to ask others for help and was discovered by Tian Wei, he would beat her.

Later, the girl no longer dared to try to escape or ask for help from others.

Moreover, at this time, everyone was fleeing and no one knew what their fate would be in the next moment, so many people who were asked for help did not want to meddle in other people's affairs.

There are even men who want to take advantage of girls.

In this way, Tian Wei brought the girl to Tangzhou. Tonight, when Tian Wei was about to force the girl, he was discovered by Xia Meng...

After listening to the girl's story, the two young policemen looked at Tian Wei as if he were garbage.

One of the policemen couldn't help but curse under his breath.

“What a scum!”

As natural disasters become more severe, there will be more and more scum like this.

This is why Xia Meng decided to become an official, because in this way she would have greater power and could use the power in her hands to do many things, including saving as many people as possible during natural disasters.

After all, her power alone is limited. Only with the help of official power can she do more.

Tian Wei was taken away and the girl was taken to the hospital for examination.

Tangzhou can still maintain basic order now, all thanks to Xia Meng.

After the girl and Tian Wei were taken away, Xia Meng continued to inspect the entire disaster relief site.

After touring the entire refugee resettlement site and not finding anything, Xia Meng found a place to rest.

The next day, Xia Meng couldn't sleep and got up at dawn.

After getting up, Xia Meng drank two cups of spiritual spring water and felt much more energetic.

Today's task remains daunting.

Xia Meng took a bus back to the safe area in the city in the morning.

There is a large area in the safe zone, which is reserved for the factory and is filled with the factory's production equipment.

At this time, this large safe zone was crowded with people who came to help the factory resume production.

Although many factory buildings in the safe zone have collapsed, some are still intact and can resume work first.

For the rest, production can only resume slowly.

Xia Meng walked around the safe zone and felt relieved when she saw that many people had things to do.

At present, the food everyone eats is provided by the government, but the official stored food is limited after all. In addition, there are too many people, and the daily food consumption is an astronomical figure. Only by getting the economy running as soon as possible can the pressure on the government be reduced.

But just when everything was getting better, the earthquake struck again.

The earthquake occurred during the day, so people could feel its horror more clearly.

A rumbling sound like that of an ancient giant beast came from deep within the earth, and everything visible between heaven and earth was crumbling as the world shook.

The only remaining buildings were reduced to ruins in an instant. Bottomless cracks suddenly appeared under everyone's feet. Some people were caught off guard and fell into the cracks...

The body bumped against the cracked earth wall like a rag doll, and finally fell into the depths...

Many people couldn't stand steadily and could only lie on the ground...

Fortunately, with the experience of the first time, and the fact that almost all the survivors now live in tents, the casualties caused by this earthquake were very limited.

After the initial panic, many people quickly regained their composure, and Xia Meng immediately ordered people to launch a rescue operation.

The collapse of tents rarely kills people, so the number of people affected is very limited.

Nowadays, no one dares to go around tall buildings, because that is seeking death.

Besides, the tall buildings were almost destroyed in the earthquake, leaving only ruins.

As long as food is supplied, people can survive.

At this time, Xia Meng was extremely grateful that she had been stockpiling food in the past few years.

Aftershocks would occur from time to time, but with experience, everyone was not too panicked.

It's just that the weather is too cold and many people have caught colds.

Xia Meng asked someone to make ginger soup and gave it away for free...

Five days later, Xia Meng suddenly received a call from his township cadres, saying that many victims were heading towards their Tangzhou.

Tangzhou had already arranged for a lot of disaster victims, and now many more are rushing here...

Xia Meng couldn't help but feel the situation was tricky!

but...

In addition to stockpiling food to deal with natural disasters, Xia Meng has also vigorously developed agriculture in recent years.

Glass greenhouses were rising from the ground. Although there were some damages in the earthquake, the losses were not great. The broken glass was quickly repaired and the steel frame was very strong and suffered almost no impact.

Vegetables and grains are grown in glass greenhouses, and various soilless cultivation technologies have also made rapid progress in recent years.

Everyone knows that in years of disaster, the most indispensable thing is food.

As long as the food supply is guaranteed, social order can be maintained.

only...

If disaster victims from other places also come to Tangzhou, the food pressure will be huge...

Xia Meng immediately got in the car to check the situation.

The road was damaged and very uneven, and the ride in the car was a bit bumpy.

Two hours later, Xia Meng arrived at the edge of Tangzhou, and then saw the victims coming to Tangzhou with their families, and the crowd was endless...

Xia Meng got off the car and saw a woman in her forties with two teenage children walking along the road. They looked tired, with sunken cheeks and chapped lips, and they did not look well.

"Sister, where are you from?"

The elder sister glanced at Xia Meng, opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse. Finally, the elder sister gave up speaking, pointed behind her, and was about to leave.

Xia Meng took out a bottle of water from the car and handed it to her elder sister.

"Sister, drink some water to moisten your throat."

The elder sister hurriedly took the water and drank a sip herself first, but did not dare to drink too much. Then she passed the water to her children. The two children were also very sensible. They only drank a sip and were reluctant to drink any more.

After drinking a sip of water, the three of them felt much better.

It's a pity to take favors from others!

After asking for Xia Meng's water, the elder sister had to patiently answer Xia Meng's questions.

"We are here in Q City."

Xia Meng, "Sister, how is the disaster situation in your area?"

Speaking of this, the eldest sister's eyes first turned red, and then she said,

"Our place is... miserable!"

"It's much worse than your Tangzhou."

Xia Meng frowned, "Didn't the authorities notify us in advance?"

The eldest sister wiped her tears and said unhappily, "What's the use of notifying in advance? The safe zone is full of people. It's so cold, we can't live outside. We can only hope for the best and continue to live in our original home. Who knows..."

"If it weren't for my husband, all three of us would have..."

At this point, the eldest sister burst into tears, and her two children seemed to think of their father and started crying too.

Xia Meng looked at their pitiful appearance, sighed in her heart, and continued to ask,

"Then why did you come to Tangzhou?"

The eldest sister wiped away her tears and said, "I have a relative from Tangzhou. After the disaster, she called us and said that the disaster situation here was not serious. The government distributes free food every day. Although the food is ordinary, it is basically enough to eat."

"The disaster in Q City is too severe. We have been hungry for a day. The disaster relief site is overcrowded every day and we can't squeeze in. After listening to this relative, we decided to come to Tangzhou!"

Although the earthquake destroyed a lot of basic equipment, nowadays almost everyone uses satellite phones, so calls can still be made.

Xia Meng nodded and understood.

After all, at this time, they probably didn't know where to go. They heard from relatives that they could have enough food in Tangzhou, so they had to come to Tangzhou.

only...

In this case, who knows how long the stored food can last?

Xia Meng couldn't bear to watch these disaster victims starve to death.

Next, we can only expand the planting area of ​​the glass greenhouse.

After the eldest sister and her family left, Xia Meng asked several more families. They all came from cities around Tangzhou and had relatives from Tangzhou. They knew that Tangzhou currently had sufficient food supply and the people could eat their fill. In order to have a bite to eat, they had to come to Tangzhou to beg for food.

Xia Meng left someone to continue the investigation. After returning to the city, she immediately went to Dapeng Planting Company.

Of course, the largest planting company in Tangzhou City belongs to Xia Meng.

After Xia Meng talked to Du Chanjuan on the phone, she decided to expand the planting area.

In addition to producing more food, more positions can also be arranged.

It can be considered as work-for-relief.
