Chapter 45 Collapse

"Not good, something happened. The houses in the West District were crushed by snow and several houses fell down."

Jiayi and the others were playing cards, and suddenly a servant came to report.

"How is it? Is it serious?" Flower said, and Kaichi stood up as well, listening to see what was going on.

The servant who came in was not sure of the situation, but after hearing this, he came over to repost it. He stuttered: "I, I am not very clear, but the Lord Lord has passed, and it seems to be quite serious."

Flower looked back at Kalima, and Kalima stood up and said, "You go over and see if you can help."

Jiayi also threw the card in his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look. In this weather, the temperature will only be colder if the snow stops, and staying outside will freeze to death."

Jiayi definitely didn't want to abandon this game because he caught a traitor. It was absolutely just that life outside was at stake. Yes, he was such a noble person.

Flower and Jia went to the west area together. After the snow stopped, everyone started to sweep the snow. Now the road conditions in the town are much better than those when it was heavy snow. The road is smoother. The two of them were in carriages and bumped all the way, and soon they arrived at the west area.

The two got off the carriage and soon arrived at the lord. Flower took the lead and asked, "Father, how are you doing? Is it serious?"

Lord Sainthbury turned his head and saw Jiayi and Flower slightly relaxed their eyebrows, but he still said with a serious expression: "There have been more than a dozen houses collapsed. The house here is not very strong, so it will collapse easily when it is pressed by snow. It seems that there may be a house behind it. I have already ordered someone to help remove the snow on the roof."

"What should I do if these people who don't have a house to live? If there is no place to live, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight."

Jiayi looked at the person huddled in one corner and said with some concern.

Their clothes were thin, and even in the afternoon, when the temperature was at its highest, their lips were already shaking.

For the poor, there are not many clothes for keeping cold. The house is already their most powerful tool for keeping cold.

Sainthbury frowned slightly. He could not think of where to place these people for a moment. It would be impossible for them to freeze to death like this. If he ignored it, his reputation as a lord would probably fall to the bottom.

It would be better if they didn't come. After they came, they let these leaders freeze to death and gave people a worse impression. They could only be considered indifferent. Even if they were cold-blooded, the leaders were actually considered a kind of wealth, and territory with a larger population is often stronger.

Flower said, "Is there any way you can do it? It's impossible for them to live in the lord's mansion."

Jiayi never thought about such things. Even if he was sympathetic, he never thought about letting these people live in his home, let alone hoping to let the lord free up a few rooms to settle them.

Jia thought for a while and said, "I'll deal with this. You can first find someone to boil water, then put some ginger and peppercorns in to drive them away the cold."

As he said that, he paused and took out a can of maple syrup crystals from the storage bracelet, saying, "You can also add these sugars to them to replenish their energy. The temperature is low at this time, and they need to replenish their energy."

At this time, sugar was a luxury, especially sugar that had already crystallized into pieces. However, for Flower, this hidden big man, sugar was nothing, let alone for Jiayi, if he wanted to make tons of maltose, although it was not as sweet as maple syrup, it was also sugar.

Flower took it and nodded, then went to find someone to set up a pot and set the fire.

Sainthbury looked at Jiayi and asked, "How are you going to place these people?"

There are many people who have been crushed the houses. Even if the houses have not been crushed, it is probably not easy to live. The town is short of firewood on heavy snow, and the people living here may not have much money to buy food without a job for a few days.

With cold and hunger, there are probably not many people who can spend this winter safely.

Jiayi said calmly: "It's very simple. Just help them build a house. Although there are many people, it's even warmer to squeeze."

He walked around the neighborhood and came to the edge of the town wall. The town wall was made of thick logs and then pasted it with thick mud. After it became hard, it looked like cement with steel bars inside, which was very hard. The walls of ordinary people were not as thick.

Jiayi found an open space at the edge of the wall, used spells to push away the snow on the ground, and then raised his hands, and the ground immediately raised up and became a tall foundation. He then used spells to harden the foundation.

Then he lifted up the earthen walls and closed them against the town walls to form a large wall of a house. Then he went to the collapsed house and took out the wood from the collapsed house.

A poor man who was huddling beside him opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at Kaichi and the lord beside him, but he still didn't say it in the end.

Jiayi noticed the other party's desire to speak and stopped, and chuckled at the other party and said, "Don't worry, the lord of the wood taken out of your house will supply you."

Then he said softly: "And maybe you won't use it in the future."

But this sentence was very small, and even the Viscount standing beside Kayi did not hear it clearly.

After pumping the beam, Jiayi set up pillars in the house, then put the beam up, and finally covered the roof with thatch. Although thatch is not the most suitable, Jiayi's skills are not good, but the cover is still thick and has good waterproofness. At least it will not leak when it rains or snows.

In just three or four hours, Jiayi built a square house, with one of the walls leaning against the town's walls, which was a process-saving because the foot of the walls was wider, making it more convenient to build a house.

The roof of this house is not a herringbone, but a semi-herited character, like a right-angle triangle standing up, but the slope is not big. It is not that Kazui doesn't want to make the slope more exaggerated, like a Gothic roof, but the height of the town wall is not enough, so he can only slow down the slope, which makes Kazui feel a little regretful and not perfect.

However, Jiayi is not a Virgo, so he is very skilled in using Dafa.

When the house was built, there was already a circle of people standing in front of the house, most of them were poor people who had just been crushed, and several guards brought by viscounts. Everyone looked at Kaichi and their eyes were stunned.

Especially the poor people in the circle, they couldn't help but feel fear when they looked at Jiayi. When they saw Jiayi, they couldn't help but lower their heads. This was the first time they had seen the legendary "wizard" and were afraid that "watching each other's eyes, their souls would be pulled into the abyss."

However, Jiayi has been studying for many years and is usually in-depth and simple, so there are not many people here who know him. Most of them are guards of the viscount, and his tone is still somewhat guaranteed.

These poor people had just drunk the hot ginger soup, and now they are a little warmer and their faces are a little better, especially the ginger soup is added, which has replenished some physical strength for them and allowed them to feel a hint of temperature in the cold.

Jiayi reached out and pointed at the house: "Okay, let them go in. If you stay outside for a long time, you will have frostbite. Flower, you'd better find some firewood for them and raise a fire for them."

When Jiayi built a house, he built a fireplace on the side wall, which could make a fire to keep warm and also lead the smoke to avoid the end of carbon dioxide poisoning. Everyone in the room was covered with wood and tiles.
