Xue Yanchen gestured with his eyes to the firewood he had picked up, and said, "That's the case, we have picked up too much firewood, I want to ask you, can you help us carry a bundle to the foot of the mountain?" Then he immediately added: "I won't let you do it in vain, and I will give you a dime for carrying a bundle." ”

The back is a bundle of firewood and a dime, the labor force in the village works hard in the field, tired and tired to work for a day, and it is worth more than two cents to earn ten cents, and this reward is simply not too tempting.

Luo Jingyan turned her head to look at Xue Yanchen, not understanding why Xue Yanchen did this.

He has always been calm and self-controlled, and he will not drag some people he doesn't know for no reason.

"Why do you want someone to help you carry it, I can?" She said.

Xue Yanchen said: "I don't want you to do so much work, let him carry your bundle." ”

Luo Jingyan looked at the person again, and saw that the person's appearance was a little familiar, she thought about it, this person's facial features are somewhat similar to the Lai family, especially the eyebrows and eyes, which are quite similar to Lai Chunming and Lai's branch secretary, is it really the family surnamed Lai?

Lai Chunyang has his own secrets, he doesn't want to be nosy, and avoid contact with some people, especially strangers, the real identity of these people is unknown, it is better for him to be careful.

So, he rejected Xue Yanchen: "I'm sorry, comrade, I still want to hunt some prey here, and I don't plan to go down the mountain now, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." ”

Xue Yanchen didn't back down because of his refusal, he immediately pretended to be interested in hunting, walked up to Lai Chunyang, and asked, "Since you want to hunt, have you set a trap?" If not, I can tell you where the traps are, you just need to put your tools and bait in them. ”

Lai Chunyang just used hunting as an excuse to avoid the two people in front of him, but he didn't expect this man to be serious.

Xue Yanchen's gaze quickly moved downward, as if unintentionally glanced at Lai Chunyang's hand, and then quickly moved his gaze away, as if he didn't particularly want to look at his hand, and the speed was so fast that it was not easy to notice.

Lai Chunyang said: "I just came back from school leave, when I was a child, I often went to the mountains to hunt, and every time I came back, I had to find a circle of prey in the mountains. It's been more than half a year since I left here, and I really don't know where the old traps can still be used, and where there are already new traps. ”

"I know, I'll take you." Xue Yanchen was very enthusiastic, he turned his head and told Luo Jingyan: "I'll accompany this little brother to see the trap, do you want to go?" Or, you wait for me here. ”

Luo Jingyan was not interested in other people's hunting, she didn't want to go, she sat lazily on the firewood, and said, "Go ahead, I'm waiting for you to come back here." ”

"That's okay, we're not far from here, if there's anything, just call me."

"I see."

After Xue Yanchen explained to Luo Jingyan, he pulled his arm and found that the other party's arm was hard, as if he had practiced.

"Brother, let's go over."

"Oh."

In order to find out Xue Yanchen's origin, Lai Chunyang talked to Xue Yanchen like gossip.

"I haven't seen you before, you're a young man who just came here."

"It's true that I'm a knowledgeable youth, but I'm not just here, I've been here for half a year, and I'm here for the autumn harvest, but I'm not from this brigade, I'm in the forward brigade next door."

"No wonder I think you're blind, I've never seen you before. Oh, that was your object just now, and you're all in the Forward Brigade? "The people of the advance brigade generally don't come here to collect firewood.

"She is not from the advance brigade, she is from the victory brigade, our hometown is in the same city, and we came here to join the team, but there is some misfortune, we are not assigned to the same brigade, and the luck in the misfortune is that the two brigades we are assigned to are adjacent."

"Hahaha, it's indeed a blessing in misfortune. The two brigades are next to each other, and you can still take care of each other. ”

"yes."

Although Lai Chunyang is careful, he can't be completely restrained, so naturally he won't arouse the suspicion of others.

Xue Yanchen led him to a working pit, "This is good, I used this pit to catch two pheasants and a hare before." You're a schooler, you've been learning science in school, do you still have a hand in catching prey? ”

"I'll try it, don't we still have animal trap powder and animal traps? There are medicinal powders and tools, and I am not afraid that they will not come. ”

"It's fine for smaller animals, but if you encounter a wild boar, you have to be careful."

"I will."

Xue Yanchen helped him find the hunting pit and was about to leave, "I'll help you find the hunting pit, you look at how to arrange it here, my object is still waiting for me over there, you see if there is any problem, if there is nothing else, I will go back." ”

He looked into the pit, "It's good, I don't have anything else to do, you go back to your partner, thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

Xue Yanchen didn't stay for another second, and after explaining to Lai Chunyang, he turned around and left to find Luo Jingyan.

After Luo Jingyan waited for him to come back, she asked puzzledly, "Why did you ask the family to help carry firewood just now?" It's not that I can't carry it. ”

"It's nothing, I just don't want you to get tired."

He lifted two bundles of firewood, one on the left and one on the right, and placed them on his shoulders.

"Give me a bundle."

"No."

"You're going to let me go back empty-handed?"

"Otherwise, let Chai be in front of me and you lie behind me, or, Chai is behind me and you hang in front of me."

When Luo Jingyan heard his words, she immediately made up the scene where she hung in front of him, and laughed out loud.

"I don't want it, how many people are watching in broad daylight." It's time to hang up after getting married, she tugged at him, "Okay, okay, don't mess with you, let's go back quickly." ”

"Hmm." Xue Yanchen carried the firewood and let Luo Jingyan follow him.
