TWWMABMTBH Chapter 92

“Newcastle disease, also known as fowl plague, spreads rapidly, has a high mortality rate, and has no cure. If diseased chickens are not dealt with quickly, it will affect the poultry farming plan for the next five years.”

“…”

“Don’t delay, otherwise, you will be ruined, your families will be destroyed, and the whole village will weep.”

“Therefore, I implore all of you villagers, do not resist anymore, do not be stubborn, do not hurt each other, cooperate, do a good job in disinfection, do a good job in epidemic prevention, and jointly welcome a better tomorrow.”

“Holy crap! Rong! What are you saying? Turn it off quickly! Be careful they complain about you threatening them.” Luo Xia’s face changed after listening for a while. It did sound like it made sense at first, but what the hell were those latter parts?

It was completely out of the scope of popular science, completely malicious intimidation. And it got more and more outrageous, with a particularly absurd legend in the middle, about how the Xiaowang Village didn’t listen to the veterinarian and burned the sick chickens, and then became a chicken-free zone. Even worshiping the chicken goddess didn’t help.

Luo Xia really wanted to record it and let the people at the research institute listen. Was this human speech?

But Rong Ziyan didn’t care at all. He fixed the loudspeaker on the outer wall of the village and continued to broadcast, “Da di da, da di da, da di da da di, one more time.”

Luo Xia: You’re going to get beaten to death sooner or later.

As if to verify Luo Xia’s words, Rong Ziyan’s mind was constantly receiving system prompts, [Village Chief’s Anger Value 2000] [Villager Ouyang Tie Zhu’s Collapse Value 1000] [Village Flower Lan Hua Jie’s Collapse Value 1000]…

System: This speed of increase, the last time it happened was when you were tricking tool people on Zhihu.

Rong Ziyan confidently turned up the volume of the loudspeaker: It’s okay, they’ll accept the reality after they get worked up.

However, Old Wu and the others were obviously not as confident as Rong Ziyan, especially the two drivers, who had already started the cars. Old Wu was guarding the loudspeaker, ready to go. He decided that as soon as the people from the village came out to beat Rong Ziyan, he would immediately run away with the sound system and Rong Dog.

Things were bound to develop according to normal people’s way of thinking.

Rong Ziyan had repeated the broadcast for the third time when the villagers finally couldn’t bear it anymore. Led by the village chief, they came out of the village entrance with hoes, wanting an explanation from Rong Ziyan.

Men, women, old, and young, everyone had a tool in their hands, and even the children brought their mud shovels. Hundreds of faces, each one filled with anger.

“Run!” Seeing the situation was bad, Old Wu picked up the sound system and rushed into the car with everyone.

Seeing that everyone was there, the driver didn’t even bother to close the car doors, stepping on the gas pedal and speeding away.

The road was bumpy, but four wheels were definitely faster than two legs. The villagers were so angry that they chased them for eight streets, and in the end, they could only look at the tailpipe of the car and sigh.

In the car, Luo Xia was about to throw up from the bumps, but he couldn’t help but point at Rong Ziyan and say, “Rong! I beg you to be reliable, our relationship with the masses is so tense, how can we complete the work?”

Rong Ziyan waved his hand, indicating that it didn’t matter, and leaned halfway out of the window to ask the driver in the front, “How’s your driving skill?”

“So- so-so?” The driver was about to be humble, but under Rong Ziyan’s serious gaze, he quickly changed his tone, “Actually, I’m particularly good, I can drift on mountain roads.”

Rong Ziyan thought for a while and instructed the driver, “Then let’s drive around the village! I see on the map that there are roads all around, even though there are mountains, it’s a circle.”

The driver didn’t quite understand what Rong Ziyan meant, but Ji Shu told him before he left that he should listen to Rong Ziyan in everything, so he did as Rong Ziyan said.

He turned the steering wheel and drove halfway around the village, reaching the back entrance of the village.

Because the villagers had all gone to the front to chase them, there were few people at the back, and hardly anyone noticed their arrival.

Rong Ziyan called Old Wu out and had him lift the sound system and loudspeaker to the top of the car.

Old Wu vaguely got Rong Ziyan’s plan and tried to stop him, “Wait, sir, this is not good!”

Rong Ziyan’s tone was very firm, “Just do as I say, in three days, they will definitely accept our advice!”

Old Wu: Okay then! Even your dog listens to you.

So, the lively chase began. And the villagers’ nightmare began with it.

Nobody knew where Rong Ziyan got so much energy from. Every day at 9:30 AM sharp, he started broadcasting the horror of Newcastle disease with the loudspeaker. The first day, there was some relevant popular science, but in the following days, it was all bloody and tragic cases.

Like, what if acute Newcastle disease is not taken seriously, and ultimately leads to the closure of the world’s top poultry farm, and what if fowl plague is not handled, and in the end the whole village is unable to raise chickens, and they will die if they do…

Like all those cases, every case was more tragic than the last. By the third day, the cases Rong Ziyan described were so terrifying that they had the whole family going to the roof. The driver who was listening was trembling while driving.

The villagers were even worse. For three whole days, it was like being in hell.

The loudspeaker broadcast was like a shadow, following them into their ears. Whether they were eating, bathing, farming, feeding livestock, or even doing homework, the old man at the village entrance was walking around while it was playing.

And they couldn’t do anything about Rong Ziyan. If they went out to catch him, he would run. The obviously bulky SUV drove even more smoothly than a flat track racer.

In the end, they even used tractors, but they couldn’t catch him at all.

And what was even more infuriating was that Rong Ziyan even used public opinion.

He not only played it around their village but also around the neighboring villages. Now, everyone within a ten-mile radius knew that they were having an outbreak of Newcastle disease and fowl plague. If it wasn’t dealt with, nothing would grow. The village chief’s head, which already didn’t have much hair, became even shinier.

The main point was that they couldn’t avoid dealing with the matter now. Due to Rong Ziyan’s large-scale publicity [intimidation], the surrounding villages knew how terrible Newcastle disease was. And because of their inaction, they started protesting.

On the third day of Rong Ziyan’s massive publicity, five people wearing protective suits, hoods, and shoe covers came to the village chief’s home.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be the party secretaries and village chiefs from the three nearby villages.

“So, what brings you here?” The village chief knew very well, but he didn’t want to tear down the pretense.

But the people on the other side clearly didn’t want to waste time, and their words varied.

“I said, Old Xu! I know your village’s situation is complicated, but look, we’re all close to each other, we can’t all go down together!”

“That’s right! If you have any problems, and the villagers have any opinions, we can do ideological work together. You can’t avoid the problem!”

“Right, right, and look, the leaders from Beijing are paying a lot of attention to this matter, they’re doing publicity every day, we can’t be the ones dropping the ball.”

With both soft and hard approaches, the one who had the final say came in with both kindness and power, “Don’t be afraid about the money! We may not have much else, but we definitely have enough food.”

Faced with the five people’s bombardment, even if the village chief had many difficulties, he eventually had to reopen the village and invite Rong Ziyan in.

After all, what these people said was right. With Rong Ziyan’s commotion, if they didn’t deal with it, Rong Ziyan definitely wouldn’t leave. If they really made a scene all the way to the county, they might even lose their basic subsidies because of Rong Ziyan.

If the county was delayed in their rating this year because of their problems, they would be put in a bad position, not to mention that their village was already poor, even if they really had money, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure.

Many times, dragging and resisting are not helpful. Reality is always reality.

So, on the evening of the third day, Rong Ziyan and his group finally set foot on the road into the village again.

But unlike last time, this time the villagers around them had anger and despair clearly written in their eyes. But no one dared to move.

Logically speaking, Rong Ziyan and his group were there to help for free, and the villagers’ attitude was no different from treating a white-eyed wolf.

But because it was their second time coming, and they had seen how much the villagers cared about these animals, they didn’t feel angry because of those gazes. Instead, they felt just as sad as the villagers.

All the way, the village chief was very silent. Luo Xia tried to talk to the village chief several times, but eventually held back. As for Rong Ziyan, who had been so rowdy the past few days, he also wore a heavy expression.

The village was so small that no matter how slow they walked, there was still an end.

As required, all the chickens in the village were ready. Once Rong Ziyan and his team finished taking samples and uploaded them to the system, they would be burned on the spot.

Some soft-hearted children couldn’t help but cover their faces and cry. Some women also had red eyes and were full of reluctance.

“Is it this cruel?” Several new researchers were very uncomfortable and couldn’t help but ask Luo Xia.

Luo Xia nodded, “Be quick, a short pain is better than a long one.”

After assigning people to work, Rong Ziyan himself squatted at the foot of the mountain, staring at a large forest in a daze.

A brave child reached out and pushed him, “Bad guy! What are you staring at my family’s mountain for!”

The child was very thin and didn’t have much strength. This push not only failed to push Rong Ziyan but caused him to stagger. Fortunately, Rong Ziyan was quick to grab his arm and prevented him from falling.

The adults nearby quickly came to pull the child away, afraid that he would cause trouble.

But Rong Ziyan didn’t seem angry at all, and instead, he started chatting with him.

“I see there are a lot of forest frogs in your forest.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s this!” Rong Ziyan was quick and caught one instantly. It was plump and healthy, and looked like it would be perfect for hot pot.

After seeing it clearly, the villager was not surprised, “There are a lot of these things, we usually chop them up and feed them to the ducks.”

“I see…” Rong Ziyan took a couple of steps into the forest and saw that it was too humid, not really suitable for raising chickens. Instead, it would be better to develop it for raising forest frogs.

Although frogs might sound a bit odd at first, they were delicious. The meat was tender, with both the thickness of chicken and the freshness of fish, and without too much fishy smell, they had long been an indispensable delicacy on city tables.

Especially in the summer, a pot of hot pot frog, a big glass of draft beer, with three or five friends, was one of the perfect late-night snacks.

And the village had many mountains and forests, so they were readily available. The main point was that the village already had very good wild forest frogs as breeders. At the same time, a batch of bullfrogs could be introduced for separate private breeding.

Rong Ziyan carefully looked at the forest frog in his hand, recalling the medicinal value of processed forest frogs.

The oil was a precious Chinese medicine that could replenish deficiency, reduce fever, tonify the kidneys, nourish essence, moisturize the lungs, nourish yin, tonify the brain, and improve intelligence.

The eggs were very nutritious and could regulate human endocrine, and promote growth and development.

The meat could increase physical strength, the brain could strengthen nutrition, and the skin could even fight cancer and slow down aging.

Holding the small forest frog, Rong Ziyan suddenly felt that this small village was full of treasures.

The village chief was a little curious when he saw him standing there.

“Is there something wrong with the frog?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Rong Ziyan put the frog in the village chief’s arms. “These are all living money!”

The village chief subconsciously stared at the forest frog in his arms.

The forest frog croaked half-heartedly.

Not only did it lack vitality, it was also very noisy and annoying.
