Chapter 850 Solving the problem of insufficient firewood
The village chief was too lazy to talk anymore, he was very thirsty!
If you can listen, just listen. If you can't listen, no matter how much you talk, it's useless!
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be disciplined has been punished. He has already stopped saying a few words for the sake of the Mo family, but he has to say it!
When we go out, since we are together, we are a whole. We must unite as one, and we must not lose our temper. We must not leave the base camp without permission and act alone!
Of course, this is except for Su Nanxi and the others.
Alas, as a village chief, he can only control these villagers. He can't control the mute women who are not ordinary people!
He still has to rely on the mute mother, how can he restrict her movements?
The final decision has to go through her!
The village chief rearranged the arrangement and increased the number of people watching the night. He himself also kept watch for half the night. If he didn't keep an eye on things, he wouldn't feel at ease.
He felt that the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was overwhelming, especially after what happened with He, he always felt that there were still many things that he had not done well!
After a meal of arrangements, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But seeing that there was not enough firewood, the village chief became worried again.
This is terrible. Even if you are not camping, you will still have a fire in a cave at night!
The night is so long, but it requires a lot of firewood!
Without a fire, it would be quite dangerous. No one knows if any wild beasts will come out at night!
Most nocturnal animals are afraid of fire and light. If there is a fire, they will not dare to approach it easily!
But if it's pitch dark, that's their world. They can attack people very easily!
The village chief is afraid of this. Being bitten by a wild beast is not a trivial matter!
His heart, which had just been relieved a little, was lifted up again.
I was so anxious that I could pick it up in the dark. Where can I pick it up?
Finally, he looked at Su Nanxi and asked Su Nanxi for help.
Su Nanxi looked around, stood up, and clapped his hands, "I'll take someone to pick it up. There seems to be one nearby. Just bring a few more strong men! Once you've tied it up, you can just carry it back. There's no need to walk a little bit." Dozens of times!”
The village chief looked around at the dark surroundings. He had no choice but to point a few people over.
Su Nanxi walked in front, waving his sleeves, and saw mist drifting in the light. The few people following him didn't pay attention, thinking it was a normal phenomenon.
The ones at the back were Mo Qinghe and Xiao Han. Mo Qinghe held a flashlight and shined it forward to illuminate the people in front.
He held the flashlight and had a question in his mind: What happened to his wife doing this thing again?
I don’t know how many of these things my wife still has in her hands. It would be great if she could give him one!
This thing is fun and easy to use!
Xiao Han also looked envious, he also wanted to play with it!
It’s fun to look at!
He didn't know where his master got it. Such a fresh gadget seemed to be something he couldn't afford at first glance!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money or means, you will never get it!
It seems that his master is not as simple as he seems!
No wonder that boy Xiao Wu supports his master so much. He puts his master first in everything. Even if he says anything against his master, he will be criticized!
He heard his father say that his master was a martial artist and she was just hiding her strength. He also advised him not to be blinded by the superficial illusion, otherwise he would not know how he died!
Dad couldn't figure it out, and he was even more confused. But he didn't need to test the depth, he just knew that it was his master.
His master treated him so well, it was wrong for him to doubt anything again!
Su Nanxi and Xiao Wu walked in front, very casually, looking left and right. When they found the target, they called the people behind them to come over.
She waved her sleeves a few more times, picked up a wooden root, and struck the branches hard.
The others understood it instantly and started to learn it. After beating it for a while, they chopped wood.
Due to the hot weather and lack of water, many of the trees on the edges have dried up, so you only need to wield a hatchet and chop hard for a while, and you can get a lot of firewood.
The role of men is well demonstrated at this time. It takes strength to chop wood, and it also takes strength to tie and carry it back. They are all people who do farm work. They often do these things on weekdays, so they are very skilled and easy!
It would take more time to switch to a woman.
After all, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women. A man can carry a large bundle of firewood alone, but a woman can carry it with two people.
This was one of the reasons why Su Nanxi asked the man to come over. It was all physical work, and she didn't want to spend half a day. It would be troublesome if there was no power!
Another thing is that men are bolder and are not afraid at night, but women may not be afraid. If they encounter something, they may scream and scare everyone!
No one was lazy, and it was almost done in no time.
The village chief was very satisfied when he saw it, and felt more and more that he was very smart and had followed the right person!
Look, how efficient it is, it took only a quarter of an hour to carry a lot of firewood back!
There is no chaos or panic at all, it looks very orderly!
If the mute girl wasn't here, there would probably be chaos.
They all say that the Mo family has peace of mind, and they are indeed right!
There is so much firewood, so don’t be afraid tonight. If there is not enough, you can go to the side and chop some back. Anyway, you know where to find it.
Seeing that there was enough firewood, everyone felt at ease. They didn't worry too much, and they weren't afraid of any wild beasts coming over.
After a tiring day, I just want to have a more solid sleep.
It soon became quiet. Everyone was really sleepy and tired. They were close together and fell asleep quickly.
But the night watchers couldn't sleep yet. The village chief gathered around the fire and told other villagers on the night watch to patrol with torches from time to time to ensure everyone's safety. If there were any changes, they must shout out and inform everyone. Be alert.
Staying vigil is a bit harder, but it’s your family that you’re keeping watch over, so it’s worth it!
Who should I go with to keep a vigil?
If there are many of them, they can be divided into groups and they can just keep watch at midnight. If they leave at home, they have to keep watch all night!
If you don’t guard, wild animals may come, and people may come too!
When the night watchers heard this, they cheered up and did not dare to slack off.
It's really not peaceful outside at night. Anyone may encounter you!
Since you have taken up the post of vigil, you must shoulder your responsibilities!
The village chief was secretly relieved when he saw them like this.
Just be responsible!
Su Nanxi stayed with Mo Qinghe for a while as before.
Xiaoliu saw it and sat beside the fire. He felt that he had to do something to feel at ease.
He had seen them doing vigils, so he probably knew what to do.
But the village chief asked him to go back to sleep. Why should a half-year-old child stay awake all night?
It’s the time to grow taller. How can you grow taller if you don’t sleep?
Aren't there adults here? There's no need for children to guard it!
But Xiaoliu refused to go back, he wanted to stay for a while.
The village chief was so angry that his beard stood up. He kindly asked him to take a rest, but he was so stubborn!
"Village Chief, don't drive him away yet, I have something for him to do soon!"
