Chapter 13: Involution is Everywhere
Fu Lin suddenly exclaimed, and Yan Shu was startled.
She followed the sound and saw Fu Lin stand up suddenly, and then rushed towards the gate of the courtyard like a cheetah.
After a while, there was a sound of fighting outside the courtyard.
Yan Shu and the others stared at each other and hurriedly followed.
In the dark night, I saw Fu Lin fighting with a person at the foot of the fence wall, the person's face was covered with a cloth, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but looking at his figure, it should be a man.
Yan Shu was hesitating whether to step forward to help, but he saw Fu Lin hold the man down in three or two clicks.
Holding the man's arm and escorting the person back into the courtyard, Fu Lin ripped off the cloth covering his face.
"Lai Laosan? What are you doing sneaking outside my yard when you don't sleep at home at night? ”
Fu Lin snorted, Lai Laosan's eyes fluttered, and his tone was vague.
"Don't do anything, I'm just passing by, I heard you talking in the courtyard, and I forgot to look at it curiously, and I didn't want to do anything.
Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, you let go of it, it hurts to death. ”
"You fart!"
Fu Lin not only didn't let go, but the hand holding the man's arm was still violently forced, and he said coldly.
"Your house is in the east, and you can't fight with my family, how can you walk past my yard? Hurry up and say, are you trying to steal? ”
"No, your family is poorer than mine, I have nothing to steal, in short, I was just passing by, believe it or not, let me go quickly."
The man struggled.
Fu Lin didn't believe his words at all, and was about to continue to ask, when Fu Shiqing suddenly opened his mouth.
"Second brother, let him go."
Fu Lin received Fu Shiqing's eyes, snorted coldly, and threw the person away.
The man cursed and hurried away.
Fu Lin looked at Fu Shiqing suspiciously.
"Third brother, why did you want me to let him go, you look at his sneaky appearance, he must not be at ease."
Fu Shiqing shook his head when he heard this.
"He's sent by Alanke, and he won't dare say anything even if you break his leg."
"How do you know?"
The Fu family looked surprised, Yan Shu raised his eyelids, and was also a little curious.
Fu Shiqing said lightly: "There is a big smell of smoke on his body, and the soles of his shoes are all white plaster, and on the entire island, only the caretaker camp of Nanhuang Village has a white plaster field, and only Alanke can smoke big in this camp." ”
"I see."
Fu Lin suddenly realized, but soon looked puzzled.
"No, good manners, what are Alanc sending people to stare at us? I don't remember our sins against him. ”
Fu Shiqing shook his head.
"I don't know, but instead of demolishing Lai Laosan, or killing him, causing Aranke to send someone to keep an eye on us again, we should pretend not to know and wait and see what they are going to do."
"The third brother is right, Alanke is replaced, we don't know who he will replace, and at the moment the open knife is better than the dark arrow."
As the Fu family spoke, Yan Shu's heart condensed slightly.
There will be someone secretly watching.
The Fu family doesn't care, but she can't, it seems that when she starts a live broadcast or shopping in the future, she should pay more attention to the environment around her, otherwise once the matter in the live broadcast room is exposed, she will be in danger.
The group returned to the courtyard and gave the banana leaves to Yan Shu.
"This is what I picked tonight, a total of forty pounds."
Yan Shu looked at it, it was fine.
"Two pounds of potatoes, right? Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get it to you. ”
"No!"
Ziwanwan pulled Yan Shu.
"Didn't you sign an agreement with the third brother just now, we will help you work, you give us food, the coconut meat and these banana leaves dug today are counted in it, you don't have to give me extra food."
Her eyes were sincere, Yan Shu glanced at her and nodded.
"Well, then I'll go back to my room to rest, and you guys will rest early, and we'll start work tomorrow at dawn."
After Yan Shu returned to the room, Fu Lin was a little unwilling.
"Sister-in-law, everything is one thing, you have been fortunate to have suffered for so long, and you gave it to her for nothing, and we are too much of a loss."
Twist and Fall shook his head.
"Second brother, four hundred catties of grain a month for one person, this is not a small amount, if she can not violate the agreement, then even if we do a little more, we will not suffer."
Hearing this, thinking about the harvest of himself and Fu Zhuo going out all day today, Fu Lin pursed his lips and stopped talking.
There is less and less food to eat on the island, and when it enters winter in another month or two, let alone 100 catties in seven days, it would be good to be able to hand in 100 catties a month.
He only hoped that Fu Shiqing's choice was right this time.
Early the next morning.
Yan Shu was woken up by the sound of movement in the courtyard.
She washed up and went out, only to see that the Fu family was already busy just after dawn.
Fu Lin carried a large bundle of banana leaves to the house, which should have just been picked back, and there was still dew on it.
Fu Zhuo is making a fire and boiling water.
Twist and bend is holding scissors and cutting banana leaves.
Fu Shiqing and Xiao Zhen'er sat on the side folding the banana leaf box.
Looking at them, Yan Shu suddenly had the illusion that he was late for work.
Sure enough, involution is everywhere.
She didn't dare to rub it any longer, so she said hello and hurried out of the yard.
She walked all the way to an uninhabited cave on the mountain, found out that there was no one around, and then used the remaining balance to buy some sticky rice noodles.
Carrying the sticky rice noodles back to the small courtyard, Yan Shu looked at Fu Shiqing's searching gaze, Yan Shu's face was calm.
"The only surplus food left in the cave last month is gone."
It's really food for thought.
Fu Shiqing snorted when he heard this, and the movements in his hands did not stop,
"What should I do after that, it seems that this thing is indispensable for making rice dumplings and sugar cakes."
Yan Shu thought about it on the way back.
"I heard that a lot of rice was harvested on the island in the first two months, but it was handed over to the Borneo people, and they must have a lot of rice in their hands, and I plan to go to them to exchange it."
"Change?"
Fu Shiqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
"In exchange for what?"
Yan Shu had an idea in his heart, but he didn't plan to say it now.
"I'll go to the caretaker's camp to find out the situation later, and now I'll make rice dumplings and sugar cakes."
Fu Shiqing didn't ask again.
The group divided their labor, and just by noon, all the preparations had been made.
Because the pot is small, the rice dumplings can only be steamed in batches, and each pot takes about fifteen minutes.
Yan Shu waited for two pots of steaming, and after making sure that the rice dumplings and sugar cakes tasted good, he handed over the rest to Qu Wanwan.
The two brothers of the Fu family were not idle, and went out with sacks to pick coconuts and palm fruits.
Yan Shu planned to take a trip to the Guardian's camp.
"I'll go with you."
Fu Shiqing followed.
Yan Shu glanced at him.
"Forget it, it's quite far, don't do anything if you go halfway, I can't explain it clearly when the time comes."
Fu Shiqing ignored her refusal and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Yan Shu frowned and followed.
As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the camp, they were stopped.
A charming-looking and boldly scantily dressed Borneo woman walked towards the two of them with a twisted waist, followed by a group of attendants armed with scimitars.
