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

The decision of Dahe Village was made very quickly. Everyone tried their best to survive. After listening to Yang Wenchuan's analysis, most of the people decided to go with him.

Some people wanted to wait until they explored the way in advance and confirmed that there was enough food and that they would be taken in before going there, but Yang Wenchuan just sneered at these people: "Don't tell us whether you have enough food to wait for us to notify you. Do you think they are doing charity and need to invite you to go?"

Those villagers who were thinking of taking advantage of others felt ashamed when they heard this.

In addition, what Yang Wenchuan could not accept the most was that Mr. Yang did not intend to go with them.

"Mr. Yang, didn't you tell me to make my own decision? I thought you agreed with my idea, so why do you still want to stay here?" Yang Wenchuan asked puzzledly.

Old Yang is the elder of the clan. The fact that he could adapt to the position of village chief so quickly was inseparable from the help of Old Yang. So when he heard that Old Yang was going to stay here, he was so excited. After all, staying here was tantamount to waiting to die.

Old Yang waved his hand to signal him not to persuade him any more: "I have already made up my mind. I am old and I don't have many years left to live. I can't stand such a long journey on the mountain road. It is better for me to stay here and accompany those old friends."

"No matter what this place is like, it is our root, and I still want to stay here for the rest of my life. You are still young and don't need to stay here with us old guys. I agree with you taking them out to try their luck and find a way to make a living."

"But Mr. Yang, I still have a lot of shortcomings..." Yang Wenchuan felt a little uncomfortable. His reason told him that he should stick to his decision, but emotionally he was really unwilling to give up these old people.

"Okay, I've seen everything during this period of time. You are a good village chief and you should have some confidence in yourself. Besides, I'm not going to die soon. Please leave some food for me before you leave. If things don't work out over there, you can still come back and we can think of a way out then." Old Yang said cheerfully.

But Yang Wenchuan couldn't laugh, he knew this farewell might be forever. Old Yang said to leave some food, but actually he didn't want too much. He stayed here with the intention of dying anyway, so how could he waste their limited food? He said this just to comfort him.

"Wenchuan, you are not the kind of person who worries too much. Don't think too much. Just follow your heart and do it with a clear conscience. If life is good over there, you can take them to live well there. As long as you are here, Dahe Village will always be here!" Old Yang said with a sigh. This was the last advice he could give to these young people.

If he could survive, who wouldn't want to live? But he knew his own body. After experiencing so many natural disasters and suffering from hunger and cold, he had already run out of energy. He was only able to survive until now by holding on with one breath, because the crisis in Dahe Village was not over yet, and he was worried.

Even though it's not over yet, they are leaving soon. As they are no longer an eyesore to an old man like him, he will just assume that they are living a good life. It will also allow him to worry less.

Finally, Yang Wenchuan was convinced. He wiped his tears, bowed solemnly to Mr. Yang, and left.

A total of 226 people left Dahe Village this time. Apart from a dozen elderly people who felt their health was failing and did not want to leave, there were also a dozen people who were hoping for a lucky farewell and thought they could continue to live here and were unwilling to follow.

Yang Wenchuan did not try to persuade these people any more. He just led more than 200 villagers who were willing to follow him and set out on the road to light.

Shi Anan didn't know that a group of people who wanted to join her were on the way. She was talking to Xiao Yi about looking for a mining site.

"I think the weather will be good for the next period of time. Shall we set off in two days?" Shi Anan asked.

The main reason is that Xiao Yi has been concentrating on studying the flying shuttle loom recently, and I don’t know if it has interrupted his research.

"Okay, let's test the loom for the next two days, and then we'll leave." Xiao Yi made the decision quickly.

Shi Anan asked in surprise: "Have you finished the flying shuttle loom?"

"Well, it's almost done. I'll just give it one last check." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Wow, you are so efficient!" Shi Anan applauded and praised.

Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but he still looked serious: "It's all your credit. I couldn't have done it without your drawings."

"Sure. You've been very sweet lately." Shi Anan glanced at him sideways.

Two days later, Xiao Yi asked Shi Anan to find someone to test the flying shuttle loom. She went to the spinning mill and found a few women with rich spinning experience.

"Miss Shi, do you have any good stuff today?" The person who spoke was called Li Niang. She was pretty and nimble.

She was also present when the spinning machine was tested before. Now, after working in the spinning mill for a period of time, she has become adept at tasks such as spinning and weaving.

The current looms are mainly driven by manpower to interweave the warp and weft of the looms. However, compared with the looms of the current era, the flying shuttle loom has a significant feature, which is that it is equipped with a flying shuttle device.

Don't underestimate this small flying shuttle. Its invention has greatly saved manpower and improved the efficiency of weaving.

When weaving, the small shuttle can automatically shuttle between the warp threads, which speeds up the weaving process. And because the shuttle can control the interweaving of the warp and weft threads more accurately, the quality of the woven fabric is also higher.

"Well, today we're going to let you experiment with something called a flying shuttle loom." Shi Anan asked them to come over and see this improved loom and explained the principle to them.

Li Niang looked at the loom with sparkling eyes and said impatiently, "Miss Shi, let me try it!"

Shi Anan nodded in agreement. Li Niang sat carefully in front of the loom, fumbled with it for a while, and soon began to operate it skillfully.

As expected of an experienced weaver, Shi Anan looked at Li Niang's movements and nodded slightly in affirmation.

Although the flying shuttle loom can speed up weaving efficiency, its operation still requires some skills.

Shi Anan was still able to remain calm while watching Li Niang weaving, but the other weavers could no longer control themselves and exclaimed in amazement.

They watched the shuttle moving quickly between the four threads without blinking, and as Li Niang became more and more skilled, the cloth took shape faster and faster.

"It's so fast! I can't even keep up with it!"

"Not only is it fast, but it's also woven very smoothly, much better than the ones we wear ourselves!"

"If we had this, we could weave more cloth in a day!"

"Li Niang, let me try it too. I'm itching to knit after seeing you knit!"

Several women gathered around the loom and admired it, reenacting the previous scene of rushing to try out the spinning machine.

Shi Anan looked at this scene and smiled slightly. It seemed that the loom would be put into production soon.
