The fire was not in the team, but fifty meters away from the team.
Before someone shouted fire, someone from the patrol team noticed something unusual and ran over with a bucket.
When Zhou Yunshu went out, the fire over there had been controlled. She did not move, but her face was extremely gloomy.
There are always some people who cannot understand human speech.
There was more than one person who set the fire. The patrol team escorted the three people who set the fire to the middle of the team. As soon as they were released, stones were thrown at the three people from the crowd.
"Are you trying to kill us?"
"I have long said that these outsiders have evil intentions. Look, their fox tails are now exposed!"
"If those who ride horses dare to set fire to the mountain, beat them to death!"
Countless dead branches and leaves and tukaras fell on the three of them. The three of them were in a group, huddled together and begged for mercy from the people around them.
"We didn't set the mountain on fire, we just wanted to burn something for my son." The woman who was guarding the center and was about fifty years old cried.
This woman's son panicked and fell down the ravine and hit a rock when the wolf attacked him and died.
"What are you burning? Mr. Zhou has said many times that you are not allowed to light fires privately. Everyone's fire has been put away. Where did your fire come from?" Du Laosan looked at the three of them and asked sternly.
The man among them looked away and whispered: "There is a flint at home, but I forgot to hand it over."
"Forgot to hand it in? I think you did it on purpose!"
"Kill them, they just want to kill us!"
When Zhou Yunshu and Du Laozhuang came over, the three of them had been beaten to death by the anger of the onlookers.
"enough."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the patrol team stopped forward. They could not tell whether they were angry or just venting their anger and finally stopped.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the three people in the middle who set the fire and said, "You all know the consequences of arson, but you still follow the rules and violate the rules."
When the three of them saw Zhou Yunshu coming over, they covered their bleeding heads and begged for mercy: "We really just wanted to burn something for our little brother. Who knew that the wind would blow and something would catch on? We really didn't set the fire on purpose."
"Isn't it intentional, so we have to pay for your actions?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the man with a broken head and blood indifferently, and said: "If the patrol team hadn't discovered it in time, once a wildfire broke out, we would all be buried with you."
The three of them lowered their heads, clearly feeling the growing hostility and anger around them.
"You also know the rules. Since you have made a mistake now, then act according to the rules."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, Du Mazi behind him pushed the three family members and their luggage to the middle of the crowd.
"This is the first and last time." Zhou Yunshu looked at the people in front of her who were looking at her with anxiety and said, "All your food and water will be confiscated, and your daily food and water will be halved."
Originally, the amount of food and water allocated to each person per day was not much, and if it was halved, there wouldn't be much left.
"Mr. Zhou!" A woman with her hair in a bun and a silver hairpin begged: "This is not our business. We have persuaded and tried to stop her, but she is my mother-in-law. Our elders, we really have no choice!"
"Yes, they lit the fire. It really has nothing to do with us."
"Leave us alone, we didn't do anything!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the people who were begging for mercy and said: "It seems that you have forgotten the rules I mentioned before. They lit the fire, but you did not supervise it well, so you have the responsibility of sitting together."
"If you can't persuade me or stop me, you can tie me up. I just want to see the results."
If the punishment this time is not severe enough and rigorous enough, then more and more people in the team will be guilty of overt and covert violations.
Zhou Yunshu's attitude was very tough, and coupled with her previous feat of killing the alpha wolf, no one in the team spoke.
"Other than that, you will be responsible for all the chores in the team." For a team of several hundred people, there are too many chores to do.
Seeing that some of them were dissatisfied, Zhou Yunshu raised her lips slightly, looked at them and said, "Of course, you don't have to follow our rules."
"We used two-thirds of the water in the team to put out the fire. If you want to leave, you can only leave alone."
Those who were dissatisfied immediately lowered their heads. What was the difference between leaving and dying?
When the people around heard that so much water was gone, they looked at the people in the middle with resentment in their eyes.
"I think they did it on purpose! How will we survive without water?"
"Kick them out and let them fend for themselves!"
"Yes, drive them out!"
As soon as these words came out, the people who started the fire privately and their families quickly pleaded with Zhou Yunshu, Du Laozhuang and others.
They must not be driven out, if they are really driven out, they will definitely die!
"Mr. Zhou, we admit it, we admit it!"
The speaker was afraid that Zhou Yunshu could not hear the sounds around her and moved closer to her. As a result, she was stopped by a strong man with a beard as soon as she took less than a step.
Gou Xiong looked at the crying woman in front of him and said without mercy: "Stay away from our boss, believe it or not, if I beat you further!"
There was a lot of noise around, Zhou Yunshu glanced at Du Mazi beside him, Du Mazi immediately understood: "Shut up, why are you making such a noise? Do you want to provoke the wolf back again!"
As soon as they heard the word wolf, the people around them immediately closed their mouths.
The tragic situation a few hours ago was still vivid in their minds, and they said they didn't want to experience it again.
"This is the last chance." Zhou Yunshu looked at the people around her again, "This is the only chance."
"Next time I find someone setting a fire without permission, I will directly expel him and his family from our team."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the helpless people standing in the middle of the crowd and said: "If you don't want your family to harm you, then you should take good care of your own family."
"The group adjacent to their family also has the responsibility of supervision. The adjacent group supervises that the unfavorable food and water will be halved for three days. Next time, their punishment will be the punishment of the adjacent group."
Zhou Yunshu said this, no one in the team would dare to do it again.
They now want to keep a close eye on the people at home and around them, and report them quickly if they find anything wrong.
When Zhou Yunshu returned to her compartment after handling the matter, Li Jialan was sitting by the fire waiting for her. Seeing her return, Li Jialan breathed a sigh of relief.
When sleeping at night, Li Jialan lay next to Zhou Yunshu. After breakfast the next day, he continued on his way without letting Zhou Yunshu leave his sight.
Zhou Yunshu knew that she was frightened last night, so he stayed by her side to comfort her. Even when explaining the matter, she did not leave Li Jialan's side.
Because too much water was used to put out the fire last night, the most important thing for them now is to find a water source.
Yan Shilei and the others were familiar with Anshan. After breakfast, they took the dry food specially prepared for them by the team, and then took the young people in the team to a familiar location to fetch water.
Zhou Yunshu was also surrounded by people from Shanxia Village. They agreed on a place to meet and decided to meet at the agreed place.
But before the team arrived at the meeting place, Yan Shilei came back with the people he had taken away.
"How about it?"
