Chapter 42: Saving face
Aunt Xizi asked at this time: "I said Wangzu, your fourth sister has been back for a few days, and this mother-in-law's family has not come to pick it up?" Your dad doesn't worry about it either? ”
Zhou Wangzu only felt that his face was dull, and he replied casually: "How do I know?" Okay, okay, I've rested enough, hurry up and look for someone on the road, and if I don't look for it, it'll be noon. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the guy first and prepared to move forward.
After all, he was the leader, he said so, and the big guy had to get up.
However, it is clear that they are still talking in a whisper, and the posture of the small citizens is revealed.
And although the topic just now was Yan Qingyu, Yan Qingyu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and now everyone left, so they followed.
People don't seem to care about this.
The episode just now is just to find a topic to relieve boredom.
"The bushes in front of this are too deep, and everyone used the tools in their hands to cut the bushes and weeds." At this time, Zhou Wangzu commanded.
The surrounding villagers did not disobey the instructions and wanted to do it.
"Wait a minute, don't cut it yet!" Yan Qingyu stopped it at this time.
As soon as Yan Qingyu spoke, everyone looked at her, and they were a little confused.
Yan Qingyu took a step forward, glanced ahead and said, "Have you heard that anyone has entered this deep mountain recently?" Which direction are we going to cut? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads, and Zhou Wangzu said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, you all know that there is danger inside, except for the bold hunters, who dares to go in casually?" As I said earlier, the people in the village have only found this place, and have never entered it. So when we open the way, we must be careful. Where to cut? Cut forward, of course! ”
But then he frowned, and looked at Yan Qingyu with a sudden realization: "Aren't you, Doctor Lu, they may not dare to go in, so they don't want to go, and they deliberately delay time here, right?" ”
Yan Qingyu didn't bother to argue with him, but raised his hand and pointed not far away: "There is a large area here, you want to cut it all off?" Mowing into a pasture or what? ”
Zhou Wangzu immediately choked, glanced at the boundless shrubs in the distance, and was speechless for a while.
Yan Qingyu continued to say to the surrounding villagers: "Look over there, the grass there has traces of being cut, and some of the long grass leaves that have been cut off and thrown next to it are quite fresh, it should have been newly cut for a long time, and the visual inspection is not more than two days."
If no one in our village has ever entered the mountain recently, then this road should have been cut by Dr. Lu's brothers and sisters. I think we should not do it casually, just grope along this road and cut it, just expand the road a little, and maybe we can find Dr. Lu and them along this trace.
If you can't find it, and no one is familiar with the road in this deep mountain and old forest, when we come back, we can go back along this road. If it's messed up, I'm afraid I won't know where to go back. ”
"That makes sense!" Sweet sister-in-law immediately looked at Yan Qingyu with shining eyes, "I didn't expect that Qingyu, you don't talk much, but your brain is flexible and smart enough at critical moments!" ”
"Qingyu has always been very smart, you can see how well she embroiders!" Aunt Xizi also smiled and followed the flattery.
Subsequently, the big guys also praised Yan Qingyu one after another.
However, Zhou Wangzu stopped doing it, this is all praise for his cleverness, isn't he scolding him for being stupid just now?
As the son of the dignified village chief, he will take over the position of the village chief in the future, and he wants to save face!
So I couldn't help but say, "How do you know that the road must have been cut by Dr. Lu?" If you follow your method, a large group of people will cower and squeeze forward along this narrow road, and I don't know how much time it will take. ”
Yan Qingyu glanced at Zhou Wangzu, who was unconvinced, lightly, and said, "I'm just putting forward an opinion, you can do it." After all, you are the leader, and it is up to you to lead in and out. ”
What I didn't say was that you couldn't get it, and you would be the one who would bear the blame when the time came......
But how could Zhou Wangzu not count in his heart? Immediately choked on Yan Qingyu's words! I can't help but curse in my heart, this dead mother-in-law doesn't give herself any steps.
I don't want to think about why Yan Qingyu didn't give it to her.
"The words of the little sister-in-law of the Mu family are not unreasonable, we usually take this measure when we go into the mountains, and we don't dare to go casually. After all, the dangers in the deep forest are unpredictable, and you have to leave a way out for yourself. At this time, Orion Dragon, who had been silent, spoke.
Yan Qingyu was stunned by the little sister-in-law of the Mu family, and then she reacted that she was married to a woman, so it was not good to call her a girl...... Even if the other person looks a few years older than you.
Calling yourself a sister-in-law is respectful and polite.
When Zhou Wangzu heard this, he felt even more gloomy.
But Dalong didn't seem to care about his face, and didn't care how ugly his face was, so he pointed into the distance: "Wait for me to go ahead to explore the way, you all follow me, I don't know when poisonous snakes and beasts will pop up here, you must not be careful of the surrounding situation." If something is wrong, run back the way you came, and I will come to the back of the temple. ”
The big dragon said this, and the big guys immediately cautiously agreed.
Zhou Wangzu saw that the master was done by Yan Qingyu and Dalong, and he was completely ignored, only to feel that Cheng Yong's heart was suppressed, and he was depressed.
But in the end, he was not as ignorant as Zhou Didi, so he thought about it and said, "Then I'll go ahead with you, let's open the road left and right!" ”
Dalong glanced at Zhou Wangzu: "It's okay!" Then he said he was leaving.
Seeing this, Zhou Wangzu also regained a little self-confidence and felt much more comfortable.
Then he found that Yan Qingyu didn't even look at him, and walked straight forward with Dalong.
Zhou Wangzu was afraid that another woman would steal the limelight, so he hurriedly walked a step to catch up with Dalong, and the two divided their labor left and right, and began to cut the grass on both sides.
Yan Qingyu consciously saw the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child, where did he not understand Zhou Wangzu's face and the little Jiujiu in his heart? I don't feel that I have anything to be afraid of if I am not treated, but I look down on this kind of person who has no ability and refuses to admit defeat.
However, Yan Qingyu just followed behind without saying a word, helping to cut the weeds next to him.
The weeds on the left and right sides are almost half a person tall, and you can see that no one usually comes. If someone hadn't walked it before, they would have cut a path, and I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to walk.
After walking a little further, about half an hour has passed, and the marks of the cut are becoming more and more obvious, but it is no longer a road.
Dalong stopped at this time, and Yan Qingyu also looked around, finding traces of human activity around him. If you look around the grass roots, you can see that some of the soil has been dug up.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Wangzu asked Dalong who didn't go any more at this time.
Dalong said: "The person who opened this road should have stopped around here before. When they got here, the grass was no longer deep, and they didn't cut the road anymore. This also caused a lot of crushed marks around, which made it impossible for me to tell for a moment whether these were trampled on by humans or left by wild beasts, and which direction they went! If this catches up with people, it is good, if it catches up with wild beasts, I think this trace is not shallow, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary small beast, but it is very likely to be a medium and large beast, and then it will be unpredictable. When he said this, Dalong's expression was very solemn.
As soon as these words came out, everyone panicked, and Jiang Youcheng was the first to shout: "What's the matter?" If we catch up with the beast, we won't die! My mother, are you still medium and large? How old does that have to be? ”
