Chapter 1034: Chapter 543 Rowing Without Oars_3

But now, everyone watched Yan Fei tugging on the animals, and they could only believe that he was capable of holding on to them.

A group of children ran ahead to clear the way, shouting loudly, "Move aside, move aside, the tigers are coming, the tigers are coming..."

The crowd dispersed, and Yan Fei, barefooted, led the tigers across the bridge to the cattle farm. As he passed, the crowd automatically closed back up, following at a distance to enjoy the spectacle, each of them wildly excited.

Secretary Xiao Zhao and the others couldn’t help but smile wryly, Boss Yan’s grandeur was truly boundless, and they couldn’t even get a word in until he was done.

By the time they reached the cattle farm, Yan Fei had already tied the tigers by the river, and the entrance to the cattle farm was still crowded with people.

He didn’t need to deal with that, everyone would soon disperse on their own, the threat of rising waters was immediate, watching the spectacle was just an episode, and soon enough, everyone would have to leave the spectacle behind.

Secretary Xiao Zhao finally got a chance to speak, "Boss Yan, shouldn’t you be hurrying to evacuate the cattle farm? Secretary Jiao has instructed that, in addition to ensuring that students taking college entrance exams reach the county safely, your place needs to be properly handled..."

Yan Fei was taken aback, only then remembering that the college entrance exam was imminent, "Have all the students been sent to the county town?"

"Not yet, the vehicles are ready, they are set to leave early tomorrow morning," replied Secretary Xiao Zhao.

"Why wait for tomorrow? Hurry up and go now! What if the water rises by tomorrow, what vehicle would be able to get through then? Do you expect those students to swim to the county town one by one?" Yan Fei got anxious upon hearing this.

An hour ago, this guy was still perched on a tree playing the monkey, and now he was in a hurry, even concerning himself with matters that were none of his business.

"The school has its arrangements, the accommodations we booked are only available from tomorrow. If we go today, where will they stay?" Lin Baoguo felt that Boss Yan was perhaps meddling too broadly, of course, that was from an uncle’s perspective. From the director’s perspective, he wished everyone in Sancha River town would be willing to ’meddle more’.

Everyone was kindly advising Yan Fei to think about evacuating the cattle farm, yet he was worrying about the students’ college entrance exams. The pressing matter was to urgently evacuate the cattle farm.

The village had long intended to suggest this to Boss Yan, but this unruly boss had been holed up in trees playing Erhu, leaving no chance to discuss this with him face-to-face.

"Isn’t the accommodation at the Second Guesthouse? Surely everything there has already been arranged. What’s there to be afraid of staying there one day earlier? Aren’t all of the students just waiting at the school? Hurry up and find transportation to get them out of there. You want to avoid any accidents later," Yan Fei suggested, feeling temporarily that his cattle farm was still safe, but still prioritizing the college entrance exams.

"The deposits have already been paid, how can we just change plans like that? Are you going to pay if we move a day earlier?" Lin Baoguo was displeased.

"How much? I’ll pay it," Yan Fei said calmly. The Second Guesthouse – the county’s second guesthouse – wasn’t much better than the school dormitory conditions. How much could it really cost? "It’s just about letting the students go there a day earlier. Given today’s situation, it’s better to go early. Consider that small lodging fee a contribution to support the school’s efforts, alright?"

If you had mentioned paying earlier!

Those around him all breathed a sigh of relief, including some from the village office who immediately ran to report to Mayor Chen!

After all, it boiled down to being poor; preparing for the disaster required money everywhere - from getting relief supplies to paying for the many people stationed by the river, at Village Entrance, and in every village, even if there were no subsidies, you couldn’t just not care about their meals, right?

"Are you going to evacuate this place then?" Secretary Xiao Zhao pressed.

"No rush, no rush!" Yan Fei had started to regain his composure. "You know the situation here as well as I do. Even if the water rises further, it won’t rise much. Otherwise, would you dare to say let the students leave tomorrow? I think my place is fine, no need to rush, we’ll see tomorrow."

You spoke all there, initially saying to rush the students out, now you are saying there’s no rush!

Though everyone also vaguely felt the same way, Sancha River town downstream was in a lower-lying area. From the cattle farm looking downstream, one could no longer see the river channel; it was a boundless stretch of floods.

While it looked quite terrifying, in actuality, the flood was draining quite fast. The downstream area had lesser rainfall, and if it continued like this, there was still hope that the water level would drop by tomorrow.

But these words couldn’t be said aloud; even if everyone thought the same, they couldn’t say it – if everyone just waited like this, and something went wrong, no one could bear the responsibility.

"Everything is uncertain now, I think, Xiao Fei, you should prepare just in case. Don’t wait until the water is up to your ankles before you start panicking, by then it would be too late!" Ma Yongming advised from beside.

"I need a place for that, I have so many cattle, where would I find a place so quickly?" Yan Fei although felt that the water might not reach his cattle farm, had to admit that what Ma Yongming said was not without reason.

Especially since the greenhouse he had previously confidently declared would not be flooded might soon be rumbling down, seriously shaking his confidence – the initial ones he built even had mud walls, which were not afraid of fire but were vulnerable to water. If the flood soaked them for long, collapsing was inevitable.

"Secretary Jiao has instructed that now it’s time for special handling of special matters. You guys quickly discuss and see where there’s space to at least erect a simple shed for now. If the situation worsens, at least we can move the cattle there," Secretary Xiao Zhao suggested from the side.

"That might work, then I need to think this through," Yan Fei nodded, still reluctantly. "Actually, I really feel that the water won’t reach here..."

Lin Baoguo slammed the table, "Why don’t you go stand next to your greenhouse and say that?"

"I’d stand there, but then wouldn’t you not be able to hear me?" Yan Fei retorted, his tone stubborn yet helpless, as fate was just not on his side.
