If you're lucky, you might be able to collect some firewood and come back, but if you're not lucky, it's possible that you won't be able to come back.
"Look at how cowardly you all are!"
The sixth uncle banged on the table, "Who told you to disperse up the mountain? Wouldn't such a large group of people go together? If something happens, it's better to have someone to take care of you!"
Shen Mantun suddenly understood, "Yes, we can still run into wolves every time!"
"In this case, let's discuss a charter."
The Shen family is a big family, and now it is not just one family that is short of firewood. When every family is in need of firewood, everyone will naturally be concerned.
Although Shen Mandun's mind was not very clear at times, he quickly got on the right track after being given some guidance.
"Zheng Shan and Lian Hu are the hunters of our village. They are very powerful and must be very familiar with the roads on the mountain. You will lead them..."
Everyone made a few comments and brainstormed to decide on the candidate to go up the mountain.
"Do you understand everything?"
"Understood, this time Zheng Shan will take eight strong laborers up the mountain, and Lian Huzi will take another wave in a few days!"
"Okay, everyone should go home and discuss it. One person from each family must come up, otherwise there will be no firewood."
Everyone nodded, but Zheng Shan in the crowd hesitated to speak.
"Then what... why don't we also call the person's wife?"
who?
To raise someone’s wife?
Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
"Shen Cheng!"
"Look at my brain, how could I have forgotten that dominatrix!"
Shen Manyun's eyes widened as he fiercely scratched at the culprit, "What dominatrix? You're talking nonsense!"
"That's a female warrior, a heroine!"

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"
When Li Zheng arrived at the Shen family courtyard, he saw a figure lying on the two and a half meter high wall, doing something.
Cheng Xi wrapped the last loop of electricity around the erected wire, clapped his hands and jumped down.
"Nothing, just look at the scenery."
Can I tell you this thing can electrocute people?
It will definitely not work.
"Uncle Li Zheng is here to see your husband? He is in the study."
"No, no, I, cough... I'm here to find you, my nephew-in-law."
There was a rare expression of shame and annoyance on Shen Manyun's face, as if someone had kidnapped him.
Find me?
Cheng Xi looked behind him, but there was no one there.
Well, it should be voluntary.
"You go inside first."
Before Cheng Xi welcomed the person into the room, Shen Xingluo, who heard the sound, had already opened the door, and a burst of hot air floated out of the room towards the visitor.
Shen Manyun was slightly startled when he felt the heat on his face, and was stunned when he stepped into the living room with two feet.
who I am?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
A wave of hot air enveloped him tightly from head to toe, and the warmth that hit his face made his brain, which had been frozen for a long time, suddenly shut down.
It only took a moment, but he was actually sweating faintly.
It’s incredible!
"You, you, why is your home so warm?"
In fact, without asking him, he saw a red-hot iron thing in the middle of the house. It was so eye-catching that anyone who was not blind would be attracted to it immediately.
It was round on the outside, leaving no gaps. Although he couldn't see clearly what was inside, he knew it was used to generate heat.
The whole house is so warm because of it!
"What is this? Why is it hotter than a brazier!"
"It's an iron stove, something northerners use for winter."
Shen Xingluo asked the guests to sit down, and Cheng Xi had already started making tea.
"Uncle, why are you here today? But Uncle Sixth is busy?"
"He's fine. He's at home."
Shen Manyun's thoughts were brought back a little, but his eyes were still staring at the iron stove in surprise.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked at each other without disturbing each other. Instead, they poured each other a cup of tea and waited quietly while holding a cup.
After a while, Shen Manyun remembered his purpose.
"Ahem, that's what happened..."
He really didn't want to come.
Going to the mountains to chop firewood was originally a matter between men in the village. It was inappropriate for a newlywed Cheng Xi to show up. As an elder, he had to take into account the reputation of his niece-in-law.
However, there were only two hunters in the whole village, and they bluntly said that they couldn't hit Chengxi, and the danger of going up the mountain would be greatly reduced with her - this was embarrassing.
In the end, it was Uncle Six who had the final say, please!
But if someone is invited, they have to make an agreement, otherwise they will cause trouble for their juniors.
"Everyone wants to go into the mountains?"
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked at each other.
Shen Manyun nodded, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Dad said there are only three of you in your family. Xing Luo was injured before, so the family must be short of money. If my niece-in-law is willing to take everyone into the mountains, let them give you two kilograms of food per household."
Today’s food is so rare that even money can’t buy it.
Giving two kilograms of grain to one household is considered a generous act, and the villagers actually agreed!
To be honest, this incident was somewhat beyond Cheng Xi's surprise.
"Nice-in-law, you can think about it. We plan to go into the mountains to cut firewood tomorrow. Zheng Shan will take the people there this time."
"Don't think about it. If you don't go to Xi'er, I can take everyone into the mountains."
Shen Xingluo looked straight at the opposite side with his black eyes, his attitude firm.
"you?"
"But Xingluo, your body..."
"Uncle Mantun, I'm already in good health, and I've been learning from my father-in-law for a while, so I'm pretty good at it."
"real?!"
Shen Manyun was shocked. He felt that his brain was not enough today.
From the moment he walked in, nothing happened that he expected!
Hasn't Xing Luo been studying all the time? When did he learn skills from the Cheng family? Simply unheard of!
"Niece-in-law, is this true?"
"Really, uncle, don't worry, my husband knows what's going on."
Shen Manyun finally left with a confused look on his face, and was stuffed with an armful of roasted chestnuts before leaving.
Cheng Xi was surprised by the cheap husband's plan, "Aren't you afraid that the man in Fucheng will know about your physical condition?"
"Now is not the time to hide your shame."
Shen Xingluo looked at her with deep eyes, "Madam was reinforcing the courtyard wall just now. I must have a plan in mind?"
"...."
Can you tell the difference in this?
Can't I just go up and sit for a while when I have nothing to do?
"The disaster situation in our village is better now, but several surrounding villages cannot even feed themselves. In the long run, there will definitely be chaos."
"My wife still sees clearly."
"..."
Thank you, I almost believed it!
Cheng Xi rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "What are you planning on doing?"
Dog man, her head was spinning with guessing.
"I'm afraid the city has been closed down, so there's no need to worry about that for the time being."
Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment, "There can be no chaos in the Shen Village."
"Okay, leave it to me at home."
Cheng Xi did not ask why Shenjia Village could not be in chaos, and decisively divided the work between the two.
In fact, both of them have the ability to protect themselves, and it doesn't matter who takes the villagers up the mountain.
Thinking of what she saw yesterday, she couldn't tell which was more dangerous, at home or on the mountain.
