Chapter 950 How lonely it is to be invincible

While rescuing the wounded, Qi Tongwei also organized the villagers to build a temporary settlement. They used tents and plastic sheets to build simple shelters, provided medical assistance to the injured villagers, and distributed food and drinking water to everyone. The women in the village took the initiative to take on the tasks of cooking and taking care of the wounded, while the elderly helped to calm the children.

The night after the earthquake was particularly cold, and the people in the tents cuddled up to each other for warmth. Qi Tongwei shuttled through the resettlement site, comforting every injured heart. He knew that what everyone needed most at this time was warmth and hope. "Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, we will definitely get through this. As long as everyone works together, we can rebuild our homes." Qi Tongwei's firm words brought a warm current to the hearts of the villagers.

In the following days, the rescue work gradually came to an end. Although some villagers died, most of them were out of danger. Faced with a village in ruins, Qi Tongwei did not flinch at all. He organized the villagers to clean up the ruins, count the losses, and formulate a reconstruction plan. At the same time, he actively reported the situation to the higher-level government to seek more support and assistance.

The government quickly launched post-disaster reconstruction work and provided the village with financial, material and technical support. The construction team entered the village and began to plan and build new houses. Villagers also joined in the reconstruction work, some of them helped to carry building materials, and some assisted the construction workers in the construction. With everyone's joint efforts, new houses sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

During the reconstruction process, Qi Tongwei also focused on learning lessons and strengthening the village's disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities. He organized villagers to learn about natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods and established an early warning mechanism. At the same time, when designing and building new houses, earthquake resistance standards were improved to ensure that the lives of villagers can be protected in future disasters.

As time went by, the village gradually regained its former vitality. A new school was built, and the children returned to the bright classrooms, and the sound of reading aloud rang out again. In the farmland, the villagers planted new crops and looked forward to a new harvest. The roads in the village became wider and smoother, and the infrastructure was further improved.

In this earthquake disaster, the village showed strong cohesion and vitality. The villagers were indomitable in the face of difficulties, supported each other, and overcame the disaster together. And Qi Tongwei has always been the backbone in everyone's hearts. He used his wisdom and courage to lead the villagers through one difficulty after another.

Now, standing in the rebuilt village, Qi Tongwei looks at his brand new home with a lot of emotions in his heart.

The breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of freshly turned soil. The rows of brand new houses were scattered and looked particularly warm under the sunshine. Children were running and laughing on the newly built roads, and the elderly were sitting at the door to bask in the sun. The crops in the fields were thriving, and there was vitality everywhere. This should have been a perfect picture of rural revitalization, but Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a trace of thought. He always felt that the development of the village was still missing something, and it seemed that there were more possibilities waiting to be explored.

One day, while reading agricultural materials, Qi Tongwei came across a report on special breeding and planting, which mentioned the breeding prospects of some exotic varieties of watermelon and medicinal toads. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and a bold and novel idea was born - to develop special watermelon planting and toad breeding industries in the village.

Qi Tongwei knew that this idea would face many challenges once implemented, but he firmly believed that as long as the planning was reasonable and the villagers worked together, it would succeed. He first convened the village cadres and some knowledgeable villagers to hold a unique discussion meeting. At the meeting, he elaborated on his plan in detail, and the originally quiet meeting room suddenly exploded.

"I can understand growing watermelons, but is it okay to raise toads?" an old man asked with a frown and a puzzled look on his face.

"That's right, toads look scary, who would buy them?" an old lady echoed.

Facing everyone's doubts, Qi Tongwei was well prepared. He patiently explained: "Don't worry, listen to me. The watermelon we introduced is a new variety bred abroad. It has a thin skin, sweet flesh, lots of juice, and strong disease resistance. The market prospect is very broad. As for the toad, it is not an ordinary toad. It is a variety with high medicinal value. Its secretions can be made into precious Chinese medicinal materials, which are in short supply in the medical market."

Although Qi Tongwei's argument was well-reasoned, many villagers still had concerns. However, some young people were attracted by this novel idea and were eager to try it out. After a heated discussion, everyone finally decided to conduct a small-scale experiment first.

Qi Tongwei contacted seedling suppliers and breeding experts, purchased high-quality watermelon seedlings and toad cubs, and invited professional technicians to the village for guidance. He personally led several young people to set up two experimental fields on the edge of the village, one for growing watermelons and the other for building a toad breeding pond.

In the early days of watermelon planting, everything went smoothly. The villagers followed the guidance of technicians and carefully turned the soil, fertilized, sowed and watered the plants. Seeing the tender green watermelon seedlings break through the soil and grow vigorously day by day, everyone was full of expectations. However, toad breeding encountered difficulties.

These little toads seemed to be not very adaptable to the new environment. They were always listless and had very little appetite. One day, the villagers suddenly found that several little toads had died. This made everyone anxious and they gathered around the breeding pond, not knowing what to do. Qi Tongwei immediately contacted an expert. After the expert arrived, he carefully checked the environment of the breeding pond and the physical condition of the toads and found that the water quality and temperature were not well controlled.

Under the guidance of experts, Qi Tongwei and the villagers quickly adjusted the water quality and temperature of the breeding pond and prepared more suitable food for the toads. After some efforts, the little toads finally regained their vitality and began to jump happily in the pond.

As time went by, the watermelons entered the flowering and fruiting period. Small and exquisite watermelons hung on the vines. Under the sunshine, the emerald green skin glowed with an attractive luster. The villagers looked at these lovely watermelons and were filled with joy. However, new problems followed.

One night, a strong wind suddenly blew and raindrops as big as beans poured down. When the villagers came to the watermelon field the next morning, they were shocked by the scene before their eyes. Many watermelon vines were broken by the strong wind, and the watermelons were also smashed and bruised. Looking at the messy watermelon field, everyone was filled with despair.
