If you're lucky, you might be able to pick up some firewood and come back, but if you're unlucky, you might not be able to come back.

"Look at you guys one by one!"

The sixth uncle knocked on the table, "Who told you to scatter up the mountain?" Wouldn't such a large group of people go together? If something happens, it's good to have a response! ”

Shen Manchu suddenly brightened, "Yes, you 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 only one family that lacks firewood, and when the family is short, they will naturally be concerned.

Although Shen Manchu's mind is sometimes not very open, he quickly went to the Tao after a little clicking.

"Zheng Shan and Lian Hu are the hunters of our village, and they have the strength to do it, so they must be very familiar with the roads on the mountain, and you will lead people to ......."

Everyone, you and I interjected a few words, and brainstormed and made up a decision on the person to go up the mountain.

"You get it, right?"

"I understand, this time, Zheng Shan will take eight strong laborers up the mountain, and in a few days, Huzi will bring another wave!"

"Okay, everyone should go home and discuss, each family has to have one person, otherwise there will be no firewood."

People nodded one after another, but Zheng Shan in the crowd stopped talking.

"What's that...... Shall we call the daughter-in-law as well? ”

Who?

Daughter-in-law?

Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"Shen Cheng's!"

"Look at my brain, how did I forget that dominatrix!"

Shen Manchu widened his eyes and scraped at the culprit, "What dominatrix?" Hold back the nonsense! ”

"That's a heroine, a heroine!"

***

"Brook, what are you doing here?"

When Li Zheng arrived at the Shen family's courtyard, he saw a figure lying on the two-and-a-half-meter-high wall and doing something.

Cheng Xi wrapped the last loop of the power grid around the erected wire, clapped his hands and jumped down.

"Nothing, look at the scenery."

Can I tell you that this thing can electrocute people?

It won't work.

"Uncle Li Zheng came to find his husband? He was in the study. ”

"No, no, I, ahem...... I'm coming to you, niece. ”

There was a rare look of shame and chagrin on Shen Manchu's face, as if someone had kidnapped him over.

Looking for me?

Cheng Xi looked behind him, but there was no one.

Well, it should be voluntary.

"You go inside."

Before Cheng Xi welcomed people into the house, Shen Xingluo, who heard the voice, had already opened the door, and a burst of heat floated out of the room and went straight to the door of the visitor.

Shen Manchu felt the heat on his face and was slightly stunned, and when he stepped into the living room with two feet, he was directly stunned.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

A breath of heat wrapped him tightly from head to toe, and the warmth that came to his face made his brain, which had been frozen for a long time, instantly strike.

It was only a moment's work, and there was a faint sweat on his body.

It's incredible!

"Why are you and your home so warm?"

In fact, without asking, he saw a red-burned iron creature in the middle of the house, which was so dazzling that anyone who was not blind could be attracted to it at first.

It was round on the outside, leaving no gaps, and although he couldn't see what was inside, he knew that it was used to generate heat.

The whole house is so warm because of it!

"What is this? How hot than a brazier! ”

"It's an iron furnace, something that northerners use to survive the winter."

Shen Xingluo beckoned the guests to sit down, and Cheng Xi had already begun to make tea.

"Uncle, why did you come here today, but the sixth uncle has something to do?"

"He's fine, he's at home."

Shen Manchu's thoughts were pulled back a little, but a pair of eyes were still staring at the iron furnace in surprise.

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi looked at each other and didn't bother, but poured each other a cup of tea, and waited quietly with a cup in their hands.

After a while, Shen Manchu remembered his intention.

"Ahem, that's, that's what happened......"

He really didn't want to come in the first place.

Going to the mountains to chop firewood was originally a matter among the men in the village, and it was not appropriate for a newlywed woman in Chengxi to appear, and he always had to take care of the reputation of his nephew and daughter-in-law as an elder.

However, there were only two hunters in the whole village, and they bluntly said that they couldn't fight Chengxi, and the danger of having her up the mountain would be greatly reduced—which would be embarrassing.

In the end, it was the sixth uncle who made the final decision, please!

But if people are invited, they have to make three chapters of the law, otherwise they will find trouble for their juniors.

"Everybody want to go into the mountains?"

Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi glanced at each other.

Shen Manchu nodded, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Dad said that there are only three people in your family, and Xingluo was injured before, so there must be a lack of money in the family. If your nephew and daughter-in-law are willing to take everyone into the mountains, let them give you two catties of grain per family. ”

Nowadays, grain is a rare commodity, and you can't buy it with silver.

Two catties of grain per household is already a big deal, and the villagers actually agreed!

To be honest, this incident was somewhat beyond Cheng Xi's surprise.

"You can consider it if you can't do it, we plan to go into the mountains tomorrow to chop wood, and this time Zheng Shan will take someone there."

"Don't think about it, Xi'er doesn't go, I can take everyone into the mountain."

Shen Xingluo's dark eyes looked straight at the other side with a resolute attitude.

"You?"

"But Xingluo, your body ......"

"Uncle Manchu, my body has been well yet, and I have studied with my father-in-law for a while, and I am quite skilled."

"Really?!"

Shen Manchu was shocked, he felt that his brain was not enough today.

From the moment he walked through the door, nothing was expected by him!

Hasn't Xingluo been studying all the time, and when did he learn from the Cheng family? It's simply unheard of!

"Niece, is this true?"

"Really, uncle, don't worry, husband knows it in his heart."

Shen Manchu finally left with a puzzled face, and when he left, he was stuffed with roasted chestnuts.

Cheng Xi was surprised by the cheap husband's plan, "Aren't you afraid that the one in Fucheng will know your physical condition?" ”

"Now is not the time to hide."

Shen Xingluo's deep eyes looked at her, "The lady was reinforcing the courtyard wall just now, she must have made a calculation in her heart?" ”

“.......”

Can you see the difference?

Can't I just sit idle and sit down for a while?

"Now that the disaster situation in our village is better, the surrounding villages can't even solve the problem of fullness, and it will definitely be chaotic in the long run."

"It's still a lady who can see through."

“......”

I thank you, I almost believed it!

Cheng Xi rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, "What the hell are you thinking?" ”

Dog man, guess and guess her head is big.

"I'm afraid that the city has been closed, so don't worry about that side for the time being."

Shen Xingluo was silent for a moment, "Shenjia Village can't be chaotic. ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to me at home."

Cheng Xi didn't ask why Shenjia Village couldn't be messed up, and decisively divided the work between the two.

In fact, both of them have the ability to protect themselves, and whoever takes the villagers up the mountain is the same.

Remembering the scene she saw yesterday, she couldn't tell which was more dangerous, home or mountain.
