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

In addition to Shi Anan and the people of Guangming County who are particularly looking forward to this New Year's Day, there is another person who is also very much looking forward to this New Year's Day - that is Ruan!

Early this morning, Ruan caught Xiao Yi who was about to go out and said, "Yier, come here!"

Xiao Yi looked at Ruan in confusion, but still went over obediently: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Ruan looked around and said nothing. Xiao Yi frowned and was about to ask again, but Ruan asked in a low voice: "Have you told An An?"

Xiao Yi's face was full of question marks: "What did you say?"

Ruan looked at him with a look of disappointment: "Of course you say you like her! You haven't said it yet, have you?"

Unexpectedly, Ruan was so straightforward. Xiao Yi was stunned for a long time, and his ears suddenly became hot: "Mother, mother...what are you talking about?"

Ruan knew that her stubborn son would not take the initiative to say such things. So when would she be able to get her daughter-in-law back?

"Okay, okay, you are my son, don't I know what you are thinking? Just tell me whether you like An An!" Ruan asked.

"Yes... I like it." Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and said embarrassedly.

"That's it. If you don't say it, how can others know that you like him? You have reached the age of 15 and An An has also reached the age of 15 for a long time. Don't you want An An to be coaxed away by other men?"

"She won't!"

When Xiao Yi heard Ruan say that An An would be coaxed away by other men, he immediately retorted hastily.

Ruan rolled her eyes: "How do you know that? You know how good An An is. Let me tell you this. Li Zimu also likes An An. They have so much contact every day because of government affairs. If you don't take the initiative, do you want Li Zimu to coax An An away?"

"He dares!" When Xiao Yi heard Li Zimu's name, his eyes darkened. He knew that this man had always been coveting An An.

Ruan twitched her lips: "Why shouldn't he dare? Who are you to An An? If An An likes it, can you beat him up?"

Xiao Yi wanted to ask why he couldn't fight, but he remained silent again. If that person was the one An An liked, he seemed really unable to do anything, as An An would be unhappy.

Seeing Xiao Yi silent, Ruan knew that she had already fueled the fire, and then stopped keeping him in suspense: "Now you know, if you like An An, you should act quickly. If you follow An An every day without telling her, do you still expect a little girl like An An to tell you that she likes you?"

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up: "Mom, you said An An likes me?"

Ruan was speechless. It seemed that these two kids didn't know that the other liked them. They were two taciturn people. It was really frustrating.

But she still said: "From my perspective as an experienced person, it's almost certain. If she didn't like you, why would she let you accompany her all the time?"

Xiao Yi said weakly: "I thought she was just used to it."

Ruan finally couldn't help but complain: "With so many people around, why is she only used to having you accompany her? I tell you, if you can't coax An An back this New Year, don't say he's my son. I don't have a son as stupid as you!"

Back then, his father was much smarter than him. She hadn't married him yet, but he knew how to find opportunities to make her happy. I didn't expect that his son is still not smart at this age. He has become a piece of wood after staying with wood for so long.

Xiao Yi felt a little hopeful about what Ruan said, but he was not sure. In the end, he just pursed his lips and said, "I know."

Shi Anan didn't know yet that after Xiao Yi had a conversation with Ruan, he got busy again after struggling with his own relationship problems for a while.

The reason for this busyness is naturally because of the refugees from Cangwu City.

I don’t know when it started, but Guangming County’s reputation has been growing outside. Everyone says that in Guangming County there is endless food and water, people live in brick houses, and the roads are flat and clean.

Not only that, all the children there can go to school, and as long as they are willing to work, they can always find a suitable job.

What surprised everyone the most was that it was said that there was a city blessed by God, where natural disasters from outside would be blocked. For those of them who had experienced so many disasters, wasn't it such a safe place that they longed for?

Although many people remain skeptical about these rumors, many still decide to go and see for themselves. After all, if they stay outside, they have no way of survival, so they might as well give it a try.

In this way, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the refugees all knew about the existence of a place called Guangming County. The number of refugees stranded outside Cangwu City was decreasing. Naturally, this phenomenon attracted the attention of people in Cangwu City, and even the upper class.

"Sir, there are fewer refugees outside the city today." In the City Lord's Mansion of Cangwu City, a yamen runner reported to Zhao Zhong.

"Those people still went to that Guangming County?" Zhao Zhong asked curiously.

"Yes, we sent people out to inquire, and found out that those refugees were heading towards Guangming County." The bailiff replied.

"It's strange. Where is this Guangming County? How did it suddenly appear? Have you found out the information I asked you to find out?" Zhao Zhong asked.

"Reporting to the Lord, the spies have not returned yet, but it is said that the people of Guangming County came to Cangwu City to do business before and sold a lot of novel things. The dressing mirror in the Lord's mansion was purchased by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion from the people of Guangming County."

Zhao Zhong didn't know about this before. The dressing mirror in the mansion was also bought by him when he saw Xinqi. He didn't care where the mirror came from, but it turned out to be from Guangming County. He was a little curious about Guangming County now.

"Got it. You go down first and continue to inquire about the situation in Guangming County. Report any problems in time." Zhao Zhong waved his hand and let the bailiff go out.

The yamen runner hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Sir, should we just let those refugees leave and not bother with them anymore?"

Zhao Zhong said calmly: "What can we do? The food in Cangwu City can barely support the people in the city. We don't want these refugees to come in. If Guangming County can really take them in, it would be a good thing."

The bailiff was just asking casually, and after hearing what Zhao Zhong said, he stopped worrying about it.

In addition to Zhao Zhong who learned the news about Guangming County, Shi Zhengde and Shi Wanqing also heard of this place.

Because with the help of County Magistrate Wu, Shi Zhengde now has a small position in the government. Zhao Zhong knew about this and did not try to stop it. In his eyes, even though he looked down on Shi Zhengde, he was still Su Muya's husband after all, so it was a good thing for him to stand on his own feet.

But after Shi Zhengde sneaked into the yamen, he felt that he finally had some confidence. He was the boss at home, but no one paid attention to him except Su Muya. If it weren't for the fact that Su Muya was a woman with secret guards, he would not let her go so easily, Shi Zhengde thought hatefully in his heart.

"Dad, you said you would introduce Lord Zhao to my husband. When will you help him do that?" Shi Wanqing's voice interrupted Shi Zhengde's thoughts.
