stand guard

The people in the village did not immediately go to the captain to sign up after hearing the captain's words. It's not that they have no sense of responsibility, nor that they don't want to earn work points. It's just that they have been exhausted for the past two days and they just want to go home and have a good rest.

When the captain saw that no one came to sign up for a long time, he was not angry because he knew that the people in the village were exhausted, otherwise there would never be no one to sign up.

"Captain, I would like to ask how long the next shift will last?"

"Six hours, replacement in six hours."

"Then I'll sign up."

"Okay, I'll write your name right now and give you ten work points."

Many people in the village were moved when they heard that one guard only had to stand for six hours. Then they heard the captain said that they would be given ten work points for standing on guard. Those young and middle-aged people who still had some physical strength immediately joined the captain. Then go sign up.

The remaining people who didn't sign up with the captain were more motivated than capable. Although they also wanted to earn those ten work points, their bodies didn't allow it, so they had no choice but to give up this good opportunity to earn work points.

After the captain registered the names of all the people who signed up, he saw that there were twenty-four people in total, so he decided to divide the twenty-four people who signed up into three groups, and then let them take turns. Stand guard.

After the captain arranged the first group of people to stand guard, he asked the people in the village to go home and rest before going back to work in the fields tomorrow.

"Hurry up and eat, I've been hungry all day." Aunt Caihua put the food on the table and said to the captain after the captain returned home.

"good."

The captain rested for a while after eating, and he planned to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there was any problem with the soft water pipe. However, as soon as he got off the kang, he felt his eyes go dark, and he had to sit back on the kang.

Aunt Caihua saw the captain's actions just now, so she immediately got off the kang and walked to the captain and asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It's nothing. I just felt a little dark in front of my eyes. It might be heat stroke. Go and get me a glass of water."

"Okay, I'll pour it for you right now. You sit down on the kang and have a good rest. Don't stand up again."

"good."

After the captain drank the water that Aunt Caihua poured for him, he felt better, so he planned to stand up and see if it would suddenly darken in front of him.

"Old man, I'll help you." Aunt Caihua said to the captain after seeing him getting off the kang.

"good."

After the captain got off the kang, he walked back and forth in the main room several times with the support of Aunt Caihua. After walking around for several times, his eyesight suddenly went dark again. He said to Aunt Caihua, "I'm fine."

"You'd better rest a little longer."

"I don't have time to rest. I have to check the condition of the water pipe now. The condition of the water pipe is related to the food rations of a village. It cannot be careless."

"Then I'll go with you. I don't trust you to go alone."

"good."

When the captain came to the foot of the mountain, he saw that the soft water pipe was supplying water normally. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After he asked the people on guard to take a good look at the soft water pipe, he planned to go to the field to see the situation in the field.

"Old man, why did you arrange for someone to stand at the soft water pipe?" Aunt Caihua asked the captain.

"In case someone comes to steal the soft water pipes, only our village has purchased soft water pipes in eight villages in ten miles. I am afraid that they will have other ideas, so I let others watch."
