253: Chapter 253: Landslide 253: Chapter 253: Landslide Watching the two sisters getting along well with their aunts, Chen Yang couldn’t help but approach, “How’s it going?

Are you tired?”

Upon hearing Chen Yang’s voice, both sisters turned their heads.

“Not tired at all!

It’s really fun!”

Yang Ruoxi said with a sweet smile.

“I don’t feel tired either, working with everyone is quite relaxing,”

Li Han also said with a smile.

“As long as you’re not tired, it’s fine.

If you get tired, sit down and take a break,”

Chen Yang said with a laugh.

“We know, don’t worry, we have a sense of it!”

Yang Ruoxi nodded and then looked around.

After not seeing Wu Kexin, she spoke up to Chen Yang again, “Chen Yang, go see what Kexin is doing.

Why hasn’t she come over for so long?”

Upon hearing Yang Ruoxi’s words, Chen Yang remembered that Wu Kexin had indeed been at the village office for some time.

By rights, she should have been back by now.

“Alright, you guys keep working, I’ll see what the village chief is up to,”

Having said that, Chen Yang turned and left the field, heading straight to the village office.

Just as Chen Yang got to the entrance of the village office, Wu Kexin happened to be coming out.

“Village Chief…”

Chen Yang was about to greet her when Wu Kexin interrupted him.

“Chen Yang, perfect timing, ride quickly to the town with me.” Wu Kexin said.

Chen Yang was a bit taken aback, “What’s happening in the town?

Can’t it be explained over the phone?”

Wu Kexin nodded, “The rainstorm came too suddenly, and the town was not prepared at all, so they need me to go to the town to report and then bring a couple of staff back to check on the village’s situation,”

“So that’s what it is.”

Once Chen Yang understood Wu Kexin’s intent, he wasted no time, taking her to the clinic and pushing out his electric tricycle.

Then he set off toward the town with Wu Kexin.

The distance from Liuhedan village to the town wasn’t far, so Chen Yang didn’t inform Yang Ruoxi and Li Han.

He sped toward the town on the electric tricycle.

However, halfway there, Chen Yang suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Wu Kexin jolted heavily inside the vehicle basket.

“Uh…”

Immediately, she stood up and asked, “What’s wrong, Chen Yang?

Why did you stop all of a sudden?”

Chen Yang frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.

“Big trouble, there’s been a landslide ahead; the whole road is blocked,”

Chen Yang said bitterly.

“Hm?”

Wu Kexin was startled at the time, and then she quickly looked forward.

She saw that the road ahead was littered with rocks of various sizes, along with a lot of soil.

The road ahead was completely blocked.

Seeing the obstacles as high as two to three stories in front of her, Wu Kexin was dumbfounded.

“How could this be!”

Wu Kexin’s face was full of surprise; she had not anticipated that the previous night’s downpour could be so severe.

It not only flooded Liuhedan village’s rice fields but even caused a landslide that blocked the road.

“It must have been last night’s rainstorm that did this.”

Chen Yang got off the tricycle and went up to inspect the situation.

The soil that slid down from the landslide was very loose, almost like sludge.

Recognizing this, Chen Yang didn’t continue forward.

This kind of soil was very dangerous, with a potential for a secondary landslide at any moment.

By this time, Wu Kexin had also gotten off the vehicle and walked up behind Chen Yang.

She was somewhat panicked, as she had never imagined she would encounter such a situation.

“So what do we do now, Chen Yang?”

Wu Kexin instinctively sought Chen Yang’s help, her composure somewhat shaken.

Chen Yang fell silent for a moment before saying, “We definitely can’t make it to the town now, let’s just head back.”

“Once we’re back, we’ll make a call to the town and inform them about the landslide, to see if they have any instructions for us.”

Chen Yang calmly laid out the solution.

After hearing this, Wu Kexin immediately nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Having said that, the two quickly returned to their vehicle, turned around, and drove back to Liuhe Village.

Upon returning to Liuhe Village, Wu Kexin immediately reported the landslide and the blocked road to the town authorities.

Chen Yang didn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone.

But judging by Wu Kexin’s tone of voice and her furrowed brows, it seemed that the situation was not very optimistic.

“How did it go?

What did the town say?”

As soon as Wu Kexin hung up the call, Chen Yang immediately pressed for details.

Wu Kexin’s expression was somewhat bleak.

“They said that the torrential rains have caused significant damage across the entire town, there are not enough hands, and resources are also scarce.

At the moment, they really can’t afford to deal with Liuhe Village.

They asked us to hold on for a while, and as soon as the situation elsewhere is under control, they will immediately send someone over to address our issues,” Wu Kexin reported with a troubled look.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately felt indignation.

“What kind of response is that?

What do they mean, deal with others first and then get to Liuhe Village?

How long are we supposed to wait?” Chen Yang spoke with visible frustration.

“I’m not sure, but it’ll be at least half a month,” Wu Kexin estimated.

“That’s way too slow, isn’t it?

Are the people of Liuhe Village just not supposed to leave their homes for half a month?”

Chen Yang’s expression also became troubled.

That road was the only path connecting Liuhe Village to the outside world.

If it remained blocked, the impact on others was immeasurable, but Chen Yang knew it would cost him hundreds of thousands in losses.

After all, he had to transport wild mushrooms via that road every day.

If the road stayed blocked, not only would his business suffer, but Yang Caiyun’s fish restaurant would probably have to shut down too.

Therefore, no matter what, Chen Yang could not wait for half a month.

Watching Chen Yang’s indignation, Wu Kexin tried to explain from the side, “Chen Yang, the town is in a difficult position too.

You have to understand that the town only has so much capacity, and it’s not just our village that has been affected by the rain.

Other places are in the same situation, and the town has to prioritize other areas first.”

“After all, there are only two or three villages around Liuhe Village.”

Wu Kexin’s explanation made Chen Yang’s anger subside a bit.

He wasn’t unreasonable.

“You have a point, but this road can’t stay blocked for so long.

We’ve got to clear it as soon as possible, it’s in everyone’s best interest,” Chen Yang said earnestly.

Wu Kexin nodded in agreement, “Indeed, it’s already not easy living in the mountains, and if our only road stays blocked, it’s definitely going to be a big problem.”

Wu Kexin first agreed with Chen Yang’s opinion, and then spoke helplessly, “But there’s nothing we can do if the town isn’t going to help.

We’re powerless.”

Wu Kexin expressed her helplessness; she truly had no solution to the problem.

Hearing Wu Kexin’s words, Chen Yang fell silent for a moment.

After his eyes flickered with thought, a spark of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

“If the town won’t take care of it, then we’ll clear the road ourselves!”

Chen Yang abruptly said with loud conviction.

Startled by Chen Yang’s sudden loud statement, Wu Kexin jumped.

“Clear it ourselves?

But our village doesn’t have any equipment for that!

How can we clear it?”

Wu Kexin exclaimed in shock.

“We don’t need equipment to clear it.

We can do it by carrying and lifting with our shoulders and hands,”

Chen Yang said seriously, “We just need to mobilize the villagers from the nearby villages.”

“If we all work together with determination for two or three days, we can certainly clear it.”

Chen Yang was serious, showing no signs of jest.
