Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

The young boy first took a small basket of purslane back to the village, and the rest of the people had to continue looking, as that little bit of wild vegetables was not enough to eat.

Just as they were searching hard, a voice suddenly shouted, "Jiawang!"

Jiawang looked up when he heard the voice. It turned out to be the person who had gone to Guangming Village to investigate the situation. "Uncle Dagen! You're back. Did you see where those people lived?"

Uncle Da Gen nodded and shook his head. He only saw the outside of Guangming Village and did not go in. However, this was not a good place to talk. "I will go to the village chief to explain the situation first."

Jiawang was intrigued by his reaction: "Uncle Dagen, I'll go with you!"

"Aren't you going to continue looking for food?" Uncle Da Gen looked at him and asked.

"There is no food here. I searched for a long time and only dug up some wild vegetables. It won't matter if I do it for a while." Jiawang said with a wry smile.

Okay, Dagen nodded in agreement, and the two went to find Yang Wenchuan together.

At this time, Yang Wenchuan was talking worriedly to the oldest elder in the clan.

"Wenchuan, we can't go on like this. We have to think of another way out." The old man in the tribe's already frowned brows furrowed even more.

"Mr. Yang, I know this won't work, but where is a place that is absolutely safe right now?"

Previously, Yang Wenchuan’s dream was to work hard to pass the imperial examination, become a good official in the future, and bring a better life to the local people.

But now, before he could even become a local official, he was appointed as the village chief of his own village. He also wanted to lead the villagers to live a better life, but in the face of reality, all his plans seemed so ridiculous.

Yang Wenchuan felt a little powerless. He didn't know how to face these tribesmen who had high expectations of him.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull for a moment.

"Village chief! Village chief! Uncle Dagen is back!" The noise outside suddenly broke the depressing silence in the room.

Uncle Dagen? Yang Wenchuan stood up, opened the door and walked out.

"Uncle Dagen, you are finally back. Did you gain anything from this trip?" Yang Wenchuan asked anxiously.

Although he didn't say it, he felt in his heart that the girl before might be the turning point for their village.

It’s just that the people who were sent to investigate before didn’t come back, and he was afraid of being overjoyed, so he kept holding back. But when the answer was right in front of him, he suddenly felt a little timid. What could he do if the situation was not good?

Fortunately, Uncle Da Gen brought him good news: "Village chief, their village is incredible!"

Yang Wenchuan asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"Although I haven't been in, it doesn't look like a village. They are surrounded by a tall wall made of some unknown stone, which looks unusually smooth. There is also a lookout for defense nearby. It doesn't look like a village at all. There was never anything like this in our town before!"

Uncle Da Gen organized his words and spoke them out in one breath. God knows how shocked he was when he saw the walls of Guangming Village. Not to mention the materials he had never seen before, the fact that their walls could remain so intact under the attack of the sky fire was not something that could be achieved by ordinary places.

"Tall wall? Didn't you try to find a way to go in and take a look?" Yang Wenchuan asked in surprise.

Uncle Da Gen shook his head, sighed and said, "I would like to go in, but they have to register to go in. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out after I go in, so I have been hiding not far away."

"That means we don't know what's going on inside?" If this is the case, it is not ruled out that building the wall is just a deterrent.

But it is their ability to keep these walls.

But Uncle Da Gen had a different opinion: "Although I didn't go in, they should be in good condition. I heard some people who just went in screaming, and their guards were all strong and healthy, and didn't look hungry at all."

There is a huge difference between people who are well fed and those who are hungry for a long time. Even any guard there is much more energetic than them.

Yang Wenchuan pondered for a while, then turned to the old man beside him and asked, "Mr. Yang, what do you think about this?"

Old Yang smiled, looked at Yang Wenchuan and replied: "Don't you already have the answer in your mind?"

Yang Wenchuan nodded and admitted, "Okay, let's call everyone together for a meeting."

After a while, except for the group of people who went out to dig wild vegetables, everyone else in Dahe Village gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Yang Wenchuan looked at the hungry people, took a deep breath and said, "I don't need to explain the current situation, I'm sure everyone knows it. We don't have much food. Even this crop of food is just a drop in the bucket. It can't feed so many of us. This area is no longer suitable for survival."

"Everyone has seen the group of people who came to the town before. They have food, but because we were unfriendly to them, they had no reason to help us. After investigation, I found that these people's lives might be much better than ours, so I decided to go and join them."

"Since you have decided to join them, you can no longer think about Dahe Village. Maybe there will no longer be a Dahe Village in the future. I know you are reluctant to leave here and leave the ancestors who protected us, but now everyone can't even eat, so we have to think about the future."

"If you really don't want to leave, I won't force you, but I still hope that everyone can go together. I will take those who are willing to go away in about two days, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

After Yang Wenchuan finished speaking, the villagers of Dahe Village were all in an uproar. Not only was Yang Wenchuan surrounded by them, but even Uncle Dagen who went to investigate was surrounded as well. Everyone asked in unison:

"Where is that place and how long does it take to get there?"

"Are you sure they have food over there?"

"Will they refuse to take us in? Even if they have plenty of food now, with so many of us, there might not be enough food!"

"I don't care. As long as I can find food to eat, it's fine."

"I won't bother with that. I'm already old and I won't live much longer anyway."

Some people agreed to go and some disagreed. Most of those who agreed were young people like Yang Wenchuan. They did not want to wait for death where they were and wanted to give it a try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

Most of those who disagree to go are elderly people. They want to return to their roots, and even if they die, they want to die in Dahe Village.

Yang Wenchuan interrupted everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet. I know everyone has different opinions, and what you said makes sense. I really don't know if they have enough food to feed all of us, and whether they are willing to take us in."

"But what I know is that with the remaining food we have now, even if we save it, it may not last for a month. We must find another way out. Going may give us some hope, but if we don't go, we can only wait to die here."

The other villagers fell silent after hearing what Yang Wenchuan said. Yes, no matter what, they would be dead if they stayed here. Even if the road ahead was unclear, they had to find a way to get through it.
