"Yes." The village chief took a closer look at the terrain and pointed to the side of the road: "It seems that you can go up the mountain here." ”

The Ji family fixed their eyes and saw that the road was still very wide, and the ox carts could go up.

In the past, many people used to go up to the mountains to cut firewood for a living, probably because of their blessings.

Uphill passers-by walked faster, so the big guy walked in front and the Ji family walked behind.

The village chief led the villagers to walk in front, and when Mrs. Ji saw that they didn't notice this, she immediately patted her son's head:

"This time it's because the road is wide enough that we can go up the mountain, and next time you say you go up the mountain to rest, what about our ox cart?"

Her son, usually has a good head, but why can't he turn a corner at this time.

Ji Liangqing also realized this, so he had to admit his mistake.

Wu Xiuhong's family walked in the middle, she had just been taught a lesson by everyone and didn't dare to be a demon, but the village chief said that if she was a demon again, she would drive their family out.

Now that it was getting dark, she didn't dare to do anything more.

But if she is settled, it doesn't mean that the rest of their family is settled.

Li Cuihua hated Wu Xiuhong.

Don't think she doesn't know! The three taels of silver that Wu Xiuhong took out before were all looted for her own private money!

and caused the whole family to be so miserable.

Li Cuihua has two daughters and a son, and her daughters are all money-losing goods for her, but she is so distressed by her hard-won son.

Her son had just been unable to eat the bark, and now that he was beside him, she was really heartbroken to see it.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly noticed a rabbit running away from the grass beside her.

Li Cuihua's eyes widened, and she was about to scream, when she suddenly realized something.

She looked around, and saw that none of them seemed to notice this, and everyone rushed up the mountain with heavy faces, secretly thinking about things in their hearts, but did not speak.

It was also the luck of the group, and they found a cave not long after walking, this cave is quite large, the hole is very deep, and it is not a problem to visually fit a hundred people.

The village chief took the villagers into the cave, and the Ji family tied the cow next to the cave, and there was water next to the cave, and the cow could drink water.

The cave is not as good as the environment in the car, Mrs. Ji did not let the children down, and discussed with the village chief to bring the ox cart in during the evening break.

The village chief naturally had nothing to do, and Mrs. Ji said:

"In order to ensure everyone's safety, some young adults should be left to guard the entrance of the cave, firstly, to prevent any bad guys, and secondly, to prevent whether there are wild beasts."

What is in this mountain forest, where do they know? Mrs. Ji's arrangement is also quite appropriate.

The village chief frowned, realized this serious question, and immediately nodded in response:

"Yes, I'll go and arrange for the young adults in the village right away, I see that there are a lot of bushes around, and I will cut down some trees in case of emergency."

Just do it, afraid that it would be dark after delaying for too long, the village chief hurriedly gathered a group of middle-aged boys, and after saying that, this group of middle-aged boys hurriedly went out.

They were divided into two parts, one part of the people went to collect firewood. Prepare to burn a fire in the evening, and some people go to cut down trees, ready to build some handy guys to defend themselves.

The population composition of Niutou Village is quite good, there are quite a lot of young and middle-aged people, and a large number of people have poured out, and only a few have unfinished things at hand, so they are busy finishing things and hurrying to follow.

"Boss, you go out too!" Li Cuihua's house shrank in the corner, and when she saw that Wu Xiuhong didn't pay attention to this, she immediately poked Ma Xianfu next to her.

Ma Xianfu is very lazy, he is too lazy to walk, let alone go out to do manual work?

This time he said that he would not go, and he did not take the initiative to stand up. The village chief didn't want to deal with the Ma family anymore, so he ignored their family at all.

Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Ma Xianfu was a little annoyed: "Isn't it just to get some firewood, so many people are enough!" ”

Didn't you see dozens of young men going out? What's wrong with him alone? His eldest brother and third brother haven't gone yet!

"It's not!" Li Cuihua whispered, for fear that Wu Xiuhong would notice this: "Boss, I met a rabbit when I just went up the mountain!" ”

Thinking of the taste of eating tree bark today and the poor son, Li Cuihua tried her best to persuade Ma Xianfu, saying that there were many rabbits, and they didn't run fast, and there was a lot of meat.

In short-

"If you can go out and have a look, I'm sure you'll be able to bring a few rabbits back, and what kind of bark will you eat then?"

Li Cuihua thought in her heart that Ma Xianfu was a man, young and strong, could it be that he couldn't beat a rabbit? Even if you can't hunt rabbits, there are some wild fruits in the mountains.

I don't come back empty-handed.

And it's also in the middle of the section, so many young adults are outside, and he won't be found when he comes back soon.

If there's anything you need help with, shout, it's a lot of people!

"I'm not going!" Ma Xianfu's eyes widened when he heard this, "You dead mother-in-law!" Are you so encouraging men? Do you want to be a widow? ”

Don't say that there are no things to eat people in the mountains, even those snakes are enough to bluff people, this woman is so dark now, and let herself go out!

Li Cuihua didn't expect him to refuse so quickly, and immediately made a fuss: "Ma Xianfu, you are still not a man?" You are a bastard, your son is going to starve to death, and you don't dare to go out as a father! The old lady was blind at the beginning! ”

After saying all the good things, under the soft grinding and hard bubbles, Ma Xianfu looked at his son and finally agreed to go out.

"I'll tell you this mother-in-law first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll come back if I can't catch anything."

Ma Xianfu Road.

"Okay." Li Cuihua wiped her tears, "Let's start the way up, you just go there." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Ma Boss and Ma Laosan's family, and saw that none of them noticed this, so she gave Ma Xianfu a look, and Ma Xianfu reluctantly went out.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and it didn't take long for the strong laborers of the village to come back with branches, and a group of people drilled wood to make fire without fire.

The other group of people sharpened wooden sticks with small knives, and the wooden sticks were even more useful weapons when they were pointed.

At the same time, it was decided that ten people would keep vigil together, the first five people would keep watch for the first half of the night, and the last five people would keep watch for the second half of the night.

"The danger on the mountain is also very great, so many people in our village, including your own fathers, mothers, daughters-in-law, and children, cheer me up on time, don't make mistakes, do you hear?"

The village chief looked at them and said.

The strong laborers answered honestly.

At this time, the strong laborers who went out basically returned, and every family gathered together.

Some filial sons also brought back firewood, and the family roasted together, and the same was true for the Ji family.

Of course a group of lazy people in the Ma family won't, Wu Xiuhong looked at her three sons coldly, and suddenly found that her second son was gone.

"Where's the second one?" She immediately stared at Li Cuihua and asked word by word.
