TOP ASSASSIN RETIRES AND BECOMES A FARMER AFTER TIME TRAVELING TO THE PAST

121-140

Chapter 121
Three days later, the number of new infections had dropped to double digits per day, and the critically ill patients had also started to recover. Some of the more physically fit were even able to get out of bed and walk around.

The unceasing good news made Song County Magistrate feel extremely grateful.

In the past, whenever a plague occurred, which time was not filled with grief and sorrow?

This time was no exception either. The neighboring few counties were already nearly overwhelmed, and there were even refugee riots occurring.

But in his governed Bai Chuan County, just because of Li Yao, they were able to get through it so easily. Only a few people who were too weak physically had died, and the vast majority of people were now healthy and energetic.

This Li Yao really was a godsend!

"County Magistrate," Zhang County Captain said, "Should we block the roads to prevent refugees from other places from coming in?"

"This..."

Song County Magistrate was somewhat hesitant, and finally looked to Li Yao.

"No need," Li Yao said. "Most of the people in our county have already been infected. It's just because they drank the medicine early and had enough food, the symptoms were very mild, or they didn't even feel any symptoms. So even if there are outsiders, as long as everyone pays attention to hygiene, they won't be easily infected."

There was actually something like this?

Song County Magistrate and Zhang County Captain were convinced. These obscure facts were things they had never even heard of before.

"Since that's the case, then hurry up and start working on repairing the roads," Song County Magistrate said.

Bai Chuan County's stockpiled grains were limited. They could not keep distributing them for free indefinitely. If they wanted to obtain food, the refugees would still need to contribute labor.

However, it seemed that this time, he would be able to commend Li Yao again for her merits.

...

As more and more people signed up, Bai Chuan County's gravel roads progressed at a rate of three to four li per day.

In just half a month, all the roads leading to the various villages were completed.

Time also came to March.

The long-absent thunder rumbled throughout the land, and the clouds gathered in the sky made everyone excitedly spread the news.

"It's going to rain, it's finally going to rain!"

After experiencing two full years of drought, the entire Daling Nation was waiting for this rain.

The heavenly god did not fail everyone's expectations either, and soon a spring rain came down.

Tens of thousands of refugees also began returning home.

With the refugees leaving, Song County Magistrate did not properly rest for a few days before bringing people to Hé Wān Village.

He remembered Li Yao said that now was the time for planting sweet potato seedlings.

Li Yao naturally did not let the heavenly god's grace go to waste, and began planting sweet potatoes with her family.

"Tie the ropes tight."

Standing at opposite ends of the leveled land, Li Yao and Wang Xiao Si pulled on a long thin rope.

And in the field, Da Zhuang led Wang Er, Wang San, and the enthusiastically volunteered Song Zhe, plus more than a dozen villagers who came to help, used hoes to build ridges.
