stray to ancient times

section 55

this story is just a mere setting 🥰

****

Afterwards, General Richard called out several unscathed bodyguards and helped the general bury his two daughters.

“listen.. what happened today, do not spread it. Let's just let us know, if I find anyone betrayed..!! then you will lose your head.. What words can I understand.?” all the soldiers said yes, after that they went back on their way. On the way, they were all silent unlike the start they had set out.

Suddenly, feeling that the place was far away from them, General Richard ordered them to rest and build a tent. They still have to travel two more days to get to the region.

Elsewhere, concubine Diana and concubine Liora were restless, as it was too late for their daughters to return as well.

“how is this brother, did they manage to kill the general and his sons.?” Concubine Diana asked with anxious feelings.

“quiet. I've given them poisonous powder to be a weapon.” Said relaxed.

They were in seclusion to the concubines of Quira and Lira. To get revenge for being treated unfairly, they decide to hire a hitman and send their daughters to monitor. While they knew the general's departure was the result of rumors they heard from the public. Because the people are making the move, why should General Richard be leaving and not the crown prince, because this is his responsibility.

The next day, the group of General Richard again continued their journey, with a fairly tiring journey, finally they reached the west. From the trip alone, I was quite surprised to see the state of the region.where there were no floods or lonsors, the place had no trees to support the ground and also as a rainwater absorber. Plus the place does not have a moat or city as one of the water shelters, the river there is also very shallow almost not a river, but a swamp only.

Finally they arrived and stayed in the place that had been provided, the leader or village head of the place welcomed their arrival with joy. The general and his followers also distributed sembako to the citizens. After that, I spoke to his father.

“yah... how does this region not flood…!! All the trees were cut down wildly. From the geomorphological form alone, the trees should not be eliminated.” His word. General Richard saw his daughter, he did not expect that the nettle understood the condition of this region.

“from where do you know son, that one of the causes of flooding and lonsor because of trees that are slashed wildly. Even dad didn't think it was.” General Richard said to his daughter. Plaque…

“ayah... the tree has several benefits. The roots can bind to plants and can transport or absorb excess water. And also the leaves can produce oxygen so that the air temperature is not this hot. Not to mention, this area does not make a trench as one of the places for water to flow, also the river is not cleaned and also shallow, while this area is a mountainous area. Of course, when it rains it will directly interact with the soil without any obstacles, splashing rain water can also cause erosion.” Speak at length. The general saw his daughter and understood that it was his problem.

“what do you mean father..of course, all that must be done is to plant trees and make waterways.” Answer me casually. After the father and son talk was over. General Richard went to meet the village chief there. And his arrival made the village chief feel ashamed, because he should have gone to meet the general, not the general who came to see him.

“whatever the general came suddenly, the general should have sent someone to come call me general.” He said while bowing.

“oh.. it is not a problem. I came because I want to say something to you village sir.” said the general.The village head whose name is rigit sir also let the general sit down. After that, they started discussing.

“so like this, Mr. Rigit, I have seen the condition of the region that often lonsor and also the area that is often flooded. The cause is, the lack of planting trees on the hill and also the shallow water channels. So tomorrow we will do mass planting of trees and also dig the ground to make a ditch for waterways and clean the river from garbage. How about rigit sir.?” Ask general Richard.

“oh.. if it's true like it's a window, then we will gladly do it.” Said the village head, he was happy that finally the problem of his village could be overcome.

After negotiating it with the citizens, the next day they began to flocked, carrying royong together to plant trees and make ditches, and clean the river from garbage, and also increase the depth of the river. they work together and shoulder to shoulder. The general and his four children were also involved. The people of the region were delighted at their arrival, because the general and his sons were not arrogant and even respected them.

During that month, they planted trees and made trenches. In addition, jelita also taught them how to grow crops well, considering that the land there is fertile soil, but they do not know how to manage it, they only sell wood as one of their income.

Jelita taught them how to make plantation patterns, how to seed, care and harvest. They do not have to destroy the forest. After doing so, they will return to the kingdom the next day. But two days before returning, the problem again occurred in the next village, and it was still in the western region. The village was hit by an infectious disease outbreak. Many people were sick and some even died. They came to ask for help from General Richard who was still in the region.

“general, sorry, there are some residents who want to meet with the general.” Said one of the guards guarding outside. Hearing that, the general and his four children immediately came out.

“general, please our village general. Our village was hit by a disease outbreak..” Said one of the residents.

“what's the disease.?” this time I asked.

“we also do not know miss, this disease is contagious. The infected will feel a high fever, if left it will cause loss of life..” Say one of them again. Jelita nodded her head.

“father we should go there and see for themselves their condition.” Jelita.

“but son, it's an infectious disease. I don't want anything to happen to you, you better just go there, and you all wait here.” Said general Richard.
