After everyone got water and drank to their fill, they slowly withdrew. Some of them had nimble hands and feet and even took the opportunity to catch some pheasants and rabbits. Another two brothers teamed up to catch a silly roe deer! It’s just that it’s too hot now, so I chased animals when hunting, but I couldn’t run anymore, so I returned to the camp to rest.
While they were resting, Liu Qiang told them about the yam. Everyone was very excited when they saw it. When they entered the mountain, everyone took the guys with them. When they saw that there was something to eat, they couldn't wait to go there. They always felt that they had got it. Just feel at ease!
Liu Qiang, Liu Nan and Xie Tianqi took everyone to dig yams! Xie Baotian took the Lu family, Wang family and several Liu family brothers to transport the dug yams home.
They thought they wouldn't be able to carry much at one time, but they found a thick wooden stick to make a pole, and each of them picked up four bundles of yams. Xie Yushu was afraid that they would be tired, so she asked them to bring less, but no one listened and felt that it was too late. Feel free to transport it home!
Anyway, all the risk factors are here. At worst, they can walk for a while and rest for a while, but they will be one step faster than others!
Xie Yujiao did not come today, saying that she collapsed yesterday from exhaustion and could not get up. The ones who came with her were Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yong, and his two sons, Qingsong and Qingbai. Qingsong and Qingbai were twelve and fourteen years old. , looks and personality are a bit similar to Xiao Yong, not very talkative, but quick at work, much better than Xie Yujiao!
Xie Yushu didn't dig yams today. There were many people coming from other people's homes, so she could dig more and transport them back. She was alone and had to bring water. Digging these yams was already the limit of her load! So he combined the three bundles of yams dug yesterday into two bundles and planned to go back with them tomorrow morning.
After packing up, Xie Yushu wandered around the nearby woods and came across a few plate-sized wasp buns. They were effective in stopping bleeding due to trauma, so she picked them back.
Seeing that the others hadn't come back yet, she took another nap. After days of running around and working hard, coupled with long-term malnutrition, Xie Yushu was always in a state of fatigue. Now the problem of eating and drinking was temporarily solved! She just wants to have a good rest!
I slept until the sun went down. Xie Tianqi and the other yam diggers came back one after another. In groups of three and five, they each roasted yams.
Uncle Xie Tianqi and Xie Baoshu dug three more bundles each. The Xiao family dug three bundles each. This is the amount that normal people can dig!
Some were weak and weak and only managed to dig two bundles, while some were stronger and dug four bundles. In one afternoon, the patch of yams was swept away, and even the dry yam beans were picked up! This patch of yam is probably all rooted to the ground. Fortunately, the mountain is huge, so there must be more than just this patch of yam!
Different from when we arrived at noon, everyone seemed to be a different person. They no longer looked numb and sluggish. Although they were still as thin as refugees, everyone had bright eyes and talked about today with great joy. There are many harvests, plans for tomorrow, how to hunt wild animals, etc. I am full of hope for life!
However, plans don’t change quickly!
Just when everyone fell asleep with beautiful longings, Xie Yushu, who was on duty at night, suddenly felt that all the hairs on her body stood up! Almost at the same time, he loudly reminded several people who were keeping vigil together.
"There is a situation! Everyone, please be alert!
Liu Qiang, tell your brothers to get up! alert! "
After Xie Yushu finished speaking, Liu Qiang immediately got up and called a few people to quickly pick up torches and look around, while banging shovels and other tools to wake up the sleeping people!
Everyone was tired and sleepy, and most of them were sleeping soundly. Suddenly they heard a voice murmur and fell asleep again!
"Xie Baoshu, Xie Tianqi, Xiao Dayong! If you don't want to die, get up quickly! Get everyone up!"
When Xie Yushu saw that none of the Xie family and the Xiao family had moved, and she didn't care about their elders or inferiority, she called out a series of names, and all three of them woke up!
"Eldest niece, what's wrong?
Sister, what happened!
Second wife! What happened? "
"There's a situation! Get everyone up quickly!"
Xie Tianqi carried out Xie Yushu's words unconditionally. When Xie Yushu asked him to call someone, he immediately yelled and slapped her.
"Everyone, get up! There's a situation! Get up quickly!"
"Ouch! Why bite me!
Oh my god! Snakes, lots of snakes! "
Suddenly the people watching from the periphery shouted!
"Everyone, be careful, the snakes are coming down the mountain!"
"Mom!
ah! How to fix it? There are snakes, there are snakes!
Run quickly..."
In an instant everyone was awake and panicked!
Some people ran away directly, and some people didn't forget to pick up yams and water!
At this time, most people want to leave this scary place quickly!
However, before they could take a few steps, they screamed and retreated back!
“There are wolves, lots of wolves!
We are surrounded by wolves! "
"Ah! There is a tiger! What to do! Will we die here! Woohoo! I don't want to die!
So, is that a black bear? what to do? Can we still go out..."
Everyone was frightened for a moment, and screams came one after another!
"It's all your fault! You brought us to such a dangerous place, just to let us feed the beasts! What kind of peace of mind do you have! It's your turn to stand in front now! Let us retreat first!"
A person from Xiejia Village pointed at Xie Baoshu and shouted angrily!
Xie Baoshu was trembling with anger.
"Wantless, do you have any conscience when you say this? We made it clear at the beginning that the water source in this mountain is occupied by the beasts. If you want to get water, you will take the food from the tiger's mouth, and you will live and die! It was you who said you were willing to block it, now Why should you blame us?"
"Then why are you collecting water and hunting okay, but when we come here, something happens? It must be you who offended these things while hunting, and you dragged us here as a backstop!"
"Shut up! One more beep and I'll chop you alive!"
Xie Yushu drew out her short knife and put it on the man's neck! The stern eyes and cold blade made the man shut his mouth immediately!
Liu Nan and two other Liu family members also pointed at the incited people with arrows and said harshly:
"You came in just to survive. Everyone knows the situation in this mountain. Since you came in, it means that you accepted this danger. Whoever stirs up trouble at this time, don't blame our brothers for being cruel, kill him first! "
After this flip of action, it turned out that the people who stirred up trouble were all honest!
They were scared out of their wits and wanted to find someone to take the blame for their misfortune so that they could have a place to vent their fear. But now that they were frightened by Xie Yushu and the Liu brothers, they became honest! For a moment, there was complete silence!
Taking advantage of the gap, Xie Yushu said loudly
"Now only if we all unite together can we defeat them and win a chance for ourselves! If we fight among ourselves, we will only die faster!
The ones who are there are copying the guys, and the ones who are not taking advantage of them are picking up the torch! All animals are afraid of fire. If there is fire in their hands, they will not dare to get close!
Watch out for snakes underfoot!
