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

The Chen family has been doing business in Qinghe County for generations and is considered a prestigious family here.

So as soon as Chen Huairen and his companions appeared in Qinghe County, they were recognized by some people.

"Mr. Chen?!" Chen Huairen was recognized by a county resident on his way home.

When he stopped, the commoner realized that he had recognized the wrong person: "Master Chen, it's really you, are you back?"

After hearing this man say this, some of the onlookers dared to agree: "It really is Master Chen, didn't his family run away before?"

"He must have known that we are doing well now, so he came back!"

"Master Chen, are you still planning to open your grain store?"

The people of Qinghe County chattered around Chen Huairen and asked. Chen Huairen looked at the people, whose faces were completely different from before when they were short of food, and was also moved. He answered everyone's questions:

"Yes, we came back today."

"Before, I arrived in Guangming Town by chance. Because the road was only repaired today, I didn't take the bus back until now."

"Grain shop, we'll see when the time comes. I've recently reached some other cooperation with Miss Shi. Maybe in the future we can do more than just sell grain."

……

Because of the curiosity of the people of Qinghe County, Chen Huairen and his family answered questions about things that happened after they left, especially about his time in Guangming Town, all the way back to the Chen Mansion.

Even though the two places are now connected by road and travel is very convenient, most people in Qinghe County still don't have the chance to go there.

But they had heard about the various magical things in Guangming Town ever since Shi An'an came here, and it was impossible for them not to be curious. They finally caught someone who was originally from their place, and they all knew him. He had stayed in Guangming Town for such a long time, so how could they not ask more questions?

After the Chen family finally escaped from the onlookers and returned to the Chen Mansion they had not seen for a long time, two old friends of Chen Huairen, Wang Fuan and Qian Jinbao, also came.

"Brother Chen!" When the two men saw Chen Huairen, it would be a lie to say they were not excited.

Although they were both grain merchants and competitors in the past, they had experienced so many things together in Qinghe County and had some feelings of mutual appreciation.

Before Chen Huairen left, the two of them did not follow him. Later, when Chen Huairen left, they almost died in Qinghe County, and they regretted it in their hearts.

At that time, they were wondering whether they would have the chance to see Chen Huairen again in this life. Unexpectedly, this opportunity came so soon!

"Brother Wang, Brother Qian, I'm glad you're all okay!" Chen Huairen was very happy to see the two of them. When he came back this time, he saw that his house was in a mess. It was conceivable that when the people were rioting, they, the rich families, were the first to suffer.

Qian Jinbao couldn't hold back: "Brother Chen, you don't know how terrible the county was when you first left. Then there was an epidemic. Brother Wang and I really thought we wouldn't survive. By the way, where have you been during this time?"

Chen Huairen sighed, "Well, I didn't go anywhere. Before, I took my family out of the county and took a boat to the other side of Qinghu Lake. We almost couldn't survive there. Fortunately, I met Miss Shi, who took us to Guangming Town."

Qian Jinbao was surprised: "You have actually been to Guangming Town!"

Chen Huairen boasted, "Not only have I been there, I've also lived there for a long time. Although it's a bit remote, the construction there is no worse than the county town, and it's even better. During the hot summer, there are summer houses there, which are more comfortable than our ice cellar!"

Wang Fuan looked at him sourly: "You are so lucky, no wonder you look rounder than Brother Qian."

Chen Huairen laughed: "It's indeed good luck, but it doesn't matter, now the road has been repaired, it will be easy for you to go to Guangming Town in the future."

Wang Fuan and Qian Jinbao nodded: "That's true, then you won't leave this time when you come back."

Chen Huairen nodded: "Yes, although living in Guangming Town is very comfortable, my home is here after all, so I will definitely come back. And from now on, this place will be under the jurisdiction of Miss Shi, so it doesn't matter where I stay."

"I just came back today, and the house is not cleaned up yet. Once I have cleaned up, I will invite you two to dinner to celebrate our survival of this disaster."

The two nodded in agreement: "Okay, then Brother Chen, you clean up first, and we'll have a good reunion after you're done."

-

While Chen Huairen was greeting the Wang and Qian families, Shi Anan also went to meet the people from Anlin Village.

"Miss Shi, this is Yan Zhuo." Because Li Zimu, Mu Shan and others were busy, it was Yan Fei who brought Yan Zhuo to see Shi Anan.

After Yan Fei brought the person here, he stood quietly aside. Although he was usually quite noisy, he was still very sensible when it came to doing serious work.

Yan Zhuo was a little nervous about coming to meet the administrator of Guangming Town, the legendary Miss Shi. When he came, he thought a lot in his mind about what kind of strong woman this Miss Shi was who could manage both Guangming Town and Qinghe County so well.

It was not until he saw her today that he was shocked to find that this legendary young lady was actually a young girl who had just reached the age of 15.

However, he did not look down on Shi Anan because of her age, but bowed respectfully: "Hello, Miss Shi."

Shi Anan waved his hand to signal him not to be polite, and then looked at the young village chief curiously. Yan Zhuo looked only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he could actually be the leader of a village. He was comparable to Yang Wenchuan. Both of them were young talents.

"Are you the leader of Anlin Village?" Shi Anan asked.

"Yes." Yan Zhuo nodded.

"Then you are quite young." Shi Anan said as he looked at you carefully.

Yan Zhuo twitched his lips. If we compare who is younger, you are still younger.

But Shi Anan just said this casually, her purpose was still Anlin Village: "You told them before that you heard my voice in Anlin Village, so you wanted to come out and take a look. Are there other villages around your Anlin Village?"

Yan Zhuo looked at her strangely and said, "There shouldn't be any. Our Anlin Village is already very remote. If we hadn't had nowhere else to go, we wouldn't have taken root there. When we built the village, we searched the area for several miles and found no trace of other people."

Hearing this, Shi Anan breathed a sigh of relief. She was originally worried that there were more than one village in the protective shield. What if there were other villages with bad intentions? It would be a bad feeling for her to be in the open while the enemy was in the dark.

"So are you planning to stay in Qinghe County this time?" Shi Anan asked.

Yan Zhuo looked at her in surprise: "Is it possible? Can I stay in Qinghe County?"

Shi Anan nodded: "Of course, not only you, but also other villagers in your village can come out if they want to. Qinghe County is still in great need of people. You should be able to find work here, but if you want to settle down, you have to work hard."

Yan Zhuo quickly responded: "Don't worry, Miss Shi, the people in our village are all hardworking and willing to work. Thank you very much for accepting us."

As refugees, Yan Zhuo and his companions were despised wherever they went. This was the first time he met a person in power who did not care about their identity as refugees, was willing to accept them and give them a chance to live uprightly in this world.
