Chapter 378 I Won’t Abandon You
"It's a carriage. It's my aunt's carriage."
"My aunt is back..."
"Aunt, Aunt~~~"
When the carriage was halfway there, it met someone who came to pick them up.
As soon as they saw the carriage, they waved happily.
Bai Dashan also saw the person, raised the corner of his mouth, turned his head and said to the carriage: "Auntie, she is from our village."
Bai Tao also heard the cheers and pulled aside the curtain of the carriage.
Bai Xiaomai, Bai Youli and others were laughing happily. When they saw the carriage slow down, they couldn't wait to come over.
"Auntie~"
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Bai Tao: "I'm fine, why are you here?"
"We are here to pick up my aunt."
Several people were busy explaining.
"The village chief left in a hurry and didn't explain clearly. We were worried, so we thought of meeting him halfway."
Bai Dashan: "Didn't I leave a message?"
"Village Chief, you did leave a message, but you didn't explain it clearly. We were worried that you couldn't handle it alone..."
"You're all here, what about the village?"
There are only a few people in the village, so it’s no wonder Bai Tao is worried.
Seeing what she meant, Bai Xiaomai quickly said, "Auntie, don't worry. When we came out, the village was on guard. The villagers can handle it."
"Yes, auntie, we just need to pick you up and go back early."
The people from Taohua Village can now easily defeat a hundred people alone. If three people gather together, the destructive power they create will be even greater.
Eight men came to meet her, carrying a full range of equipment, explosive bows and arrows, portable small standing cannons, and two improved machine guns.
With such weapons and equipment, it would be no problem to destroy an army of tens of thousands of people.
"Okay, let's go back." Knowing that the villagers were also worried about her safety, Bai Tao naturally would not scold them.
"It's just right. You guys take my aunt back. I'll go to the construction site." Bai Dashan said, and then said to Bai Tao: "Aunt, you go back to the village first."
Bai Tao nodded: "Dashan, remember to turn on the communicator and report any problems at any time."
Signal devices have been installed within a radius of 100 miles of Junji Town. As long as the people in Taohua Village carry communicators, they can contact the village.
Normally, the shops in the town are restocking their stocks. You only need to place an order through the communicator and the warehouse will deliver the goods to you soon.
When other forces entered Junji Town, the people of Taohua Village were able to deal with them so quickly because of the communicator.
Others would just ride horses, or when a message was delivered by carrier pigeon, the people in Taohua Village would just turn on the communicator.
This timeliness and effectiveness already wins half the battle.
The outside world only knows that the Baijiabao caravan transports goods quickly, but they don’t know that the advanced communications are also a factor behind this.
"Yes, aunt." Bai Dashan knew that his aunt would make some arrangements after she returned, so he went to the construction site first to arrange the people so as not to delay things.
When Bai Tao returned to the village, she was surrounded by villagers again. They looked her up and down with concern, and they were relieved to see that she was not hurt.
Soon after, the villagers also learned from Bai Tao what Bai Dashan had mentioned about what happened outside.
"Auntie, you can't go out then."
Diseases and epidemics sound extremely scary. Even though the villagers have learned relevant knowledge on how to prevent diseases and epidemics, they still can't help but frown.
In fact, they are not too worried about themselves, but about Bai Tao and the elderly, children and pregnant women in the village. Since ancient times, the majority of deaths in epidemics are caused by the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Bai Tao nodded her head: "I know, I won't cause any trouble for you." She is very self-aware.
When the villagers heard this, they all spoke up.
"I'm not causing any trouble. I never cause any trouble."
"That's right, my aunt is our backbone."
"That's right, we feel at ease with my aunt around."
In the words of the big guy, Bai Tao is the weak spot and the reverse scale of Taohua Village.
So as long as she is safe, the villagers will be able to deal with various situations calmly.
"Okay, then let's stop talking nonsense." Bai Tao clapped her hands and began to give orders in a baby voice.
"Notify the upper and lower villages, assign people to distribute supplies and medicines to them, and tell them how to prevent the epidemic..."
"This is an extraordinary period. If anyone messes with me at this time, it means they don't take everyone's life and safety seriously and must be severely punished."
"Yes, great aunt."
Bai Youkang took some people and several carts of supplies and went to the upper and lower villages.
When the people from the two villages saw several truckloads of things being brought in, they were happy but also puzzled. It wasn't a festival, and there was nothing worthy of praise recently, so why were there so many things?
Soon, they understood what was going on.
Is there an epidemic?!
No one doubted the accuracy of the news. If Taohua Village hadn't found out the truth, it would have been impossible for them to bring several truckloads of stuff here.
Bai Youkang: "Every household needs to send one person."
Seeing everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, some people began to shrink back in fear.
Everyone doesn't understand. If it's an epidemic, it's fine if you don't hide from it, but why do you have to set up checkpoints to prevent it? Isn't this just courting death? !
If I get infected, I won’t die, but what will happen to my family?
Bai Youkang knew what people were thinking. He seemed not to notice the fear on people's faces. He cleared his throat and said, "Are you scared now? What are you doing that is not dangerous?"
A villager stammered, "This, this is a disease."
"Yes, every time there is an epidemic, almost no one who is infected can survive."
Bai Youkang: "Although this matter is somewhat dangerous, as long as we pay attention to protection, there will be no problem."
After saying this, seeing everyone's faces full of disbelief, Bai Youkang said in a deep voice: "Why, your lives are lives, but our lives are not lives?"
Someone in the crowd spoke up: "No, that's not what we meant."
"Yes, that's not what we meant. We are just afraid. After all, after all, that is..."
Bai Youkang interrupted: "You can be afraid. It's normal for people who eat grains to be afraid."
"But I want to ask you, if we don't respond, then the disease will be easily transmitted without any barriers. I want to ask, how many of your family members can stop it by then?"
His question caused the expressions of the people present to change drastically.
That's an epidemic. Even those who haven't experienced it have heard of it. In towns where an epidemic has occurred, nine out of ten houses are empty. Who dares to say that it can be stopped?
Seeing this, Bai Youkang spoke slowly: "Originally, our village could have just taken care of itself, but our aunt is kind-hearted. After all, you followed us all the way here to settle down, so we have a different relationship..."
When everyone heard this, they felt warm in their hearts and couldn't help but feel fortunate that their original persistence was right. You see, Taohua Village would not abandon them if anything happened.
