Half a day later, Xie Yuan returned to the attic.

But Xie Yuan's face is particularly ugly right now.

When Qin He saw Xie Yuan returning, his face turned ugly, obviously guessing that he had not found a good solution.

"Ms. sir...the fishermen...the fishermen said...find some caves to hide..."

"Or... or... pay homage to the Dragon King..."

Xie Yuan hesitated and told the method she found out.

After staying with Qin He for a long time, Xie Yuan naturally knew what kind of person Qin He was.

She knew that Qin He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and preferred to believe in changing everything through himself.

But now the methods given by the fishermen are completely contrary to their own ideals of mutual justice, which is why she looks like this.

What's more, people can indeed be saved by hiding in caves, but...

The crops on the island are going to suffer...

Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought of this.

That was the result of two months of hard work, and they saw that they would be able to harvest it in one or two months...

Seeing Xie Yuan's words, Qin He couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, he didn't expect that the plan given by the fishermen would be like this.

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

After all, it is almost impossible to effectively prevent such natural disasters at today's level.

Not to mention today's technological level, even in modern times, human beings still look so small in the face of natural disasters.

But Qin He is not willing to give in!

After all, the crops on this island are their hard work.

After thinking about it, Qin He stepped forward and patted Xie Yuan's shoulder before speaking.

"Silly girl, you don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault."

How could Qin He not see Xie Yuan's loss?

After some comfort, Qin He also began to think about how to deal with the arrival of the typhoon.

After thinking for a long time, Qin He finally spoke.

"You ask some people from the island to build stone walls around our farmland, mainly made of stones, with mud mixed with weeds."

Having said this, Xie Yuan just looked at Qin He and listened carefully.

"The stone wall doesn't need to be too high, just three feet!"

"Besides, there are four plots per acre!"

Hearing Qin He's words, Xie Yuan didn't know why.

But Xie Yuan didn't ask too much and left the attic directly.

With the current conditions on the island, Qin He could only think of this method.

If he is given enough time to prepare, he can choose to plant trees near the farmland to resist the typhoon.

But the time given to him now is too little, and it is impossible for him to plant trees.

The farmland they cultivated was originally in the middle of the island, and there were many trees on the outside as the first line of defense.

Now coupled with the stone walls built around the farmland, it seems that it should have some effect.

At least this can minimize the losses caused.

There isn't much farmland being reclaimed now, but it's still quite a lot.

In the next few days, almost every space on the island that could be spared was used to build stone walls.

Some people are digging rocks from the mountain, some are mixing mud, and some are building stone walls.

It can be said that everyone on the island performs their own duties.

As for the cave dug out of the rocks, it became another shelter when the typhoon arrived.

While ordinary people on the island are busy preparing for typhoons, so are the militiamen under Qin He.

Under Li Yang's mobilization, various ports were also strengthened, striving to ensure the safety of ships during typhoons.

Two days passed in a flash.

The stone walls surrounding the farmland are partially completed due to the efforts of the people across the island.

It's not that they are very fast, but they mainly focus on protecting the crops that have grown.

As for those that have just been planted in the ground or have just sprouted, there is no rush to do it first.

Of course, we have to do it, but things also have priorities.

As for Li Yang, the progress is far behind. After all, the reinforcement of the harbor is much more troublesome than the island.

In addition, the resources on the island are limited, so even if you want to do it well, you still need to invest resources.

Now only the place where the warship docked has been reinforced.

As for the fishing boats, we haven’t done anything yet.

Instead, the fishermen were asked to carry their fishing boats ashore after going out to fish every day.

On the third day, Dong Qindao was still busy.

Little did they know that the navy camp in Qinghe Prefecture had already begun to attack them.

Navy camp.

Zhao Qiong looked at the high-spirited navy officers and soldiers in front of him, but there was no smile on his face.

Today, Zhao Qiong can be said to have exhausted all his troops, preparing to capture Qinhe in one fell swoop.

Zhao Qiong was originally in a good mood and was about to give a speech to boost morale, but something happened last night that put him out of mood.

Just last night, one of his naval commanders, Qian, told him that there might be strong winds and asked him not to send troops at this time.

Previously, he felt pleased with Mr. Qian. After all, Mr. Qian was considered a veteran under his command, not to mention having rich experience at sea.

He also performed well in deploying troops.

Take the last Qin Kou raid as an example, the navy officers and soldiers under his command suffered the least damage.

Although they failed to fight back, they at least reduced most of the casualties.

It is also the only one in the entire navy camp.

But such a veteran, a thousand-year-old general, dared to shake the morale of the army on the eve of dispatching troops!

How could this not make Zhao Qiong feel angry?

If it weren't for the fact that he was a veteran, he would have been killed long ago!

As for President Qian's current fate, he was directly imprisoned in the camp.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the two brothers Liang Hao are not in the ranks of sending troops this time.

It's not that they don't want to go, but that Zhao Qiong doesn't intend to give them this opportunity.

Let them serve as logistics in this naval camp until they return in triumph.

The two Liang Hao brothers didn't need to go when they heard that, in fact, they were already happy.

Let's not talk about whether he will be accidentally injured by Lord Qin's men, let's just say that it is not a good time to send troops now.

Liang Hao also knew about the imprisoned Mr. Qian last night.

Liang Hao also knew the reason for being imprisoned.

It's going to be a windy day soon, and no one knows what will happen if we send out troops.

When a person is on the sea, it is equivalent to leaving life and death to the sky.

As for why Zhao Qiong chose to send troops despite the arrival of strong winds, Liang Hao couldn't figure it out.

Only later did I find out that Mr. Zhao had just spent some silver to buy his official position, and then I realized that he was just a layman.

It can be said that he knows nothing about things at sea.

Liang Hao felt heartbroken for the navy officers and soldiers who were dispatched, and was also very helpless.

He was not Zhao Qiong's direct subordinate, and he didn't have the guts to test Zhao Qiong's bottom line.

If you run out to stop him at this time, you may end up killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

In this case, it is better to stay on the shore and watch.

As for life or death, it depends on what God says.
