The other young men who followed him, upon receiving the old man's gaze, immediately scattered along the edge of the chestnut forest.

"Oh, Dad, I was wrong. I'm leaving now. Don't hit me!" The young man covered his butt and screamed, then rolled and crawled into the depths of the forest.

Soon, a group of people gathered under the chestnut tree where Shu Miao disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, with a hint of resentment and regret on their faces.

Then they all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see anyone and there were no useful traces.

Then he turned his gaze to the old man, as if he was willing to follow his instructions.

Jiang Shouhe stared at the fallen leaves and the small pile of chestnuts on the ground with an extremely ugly expression. He really couldn't understand why he was discovered when he had kept the situation a secret during the first few years when the chaos was most severe.

Is there an insider or an accident?

But now is not the time to worry about this. Instead, we have to speed up and get all the chestnuts into our pockets. Otherwise, it would be the biggest loss if we don’t get any of them!

With a plan in mind, he immediately waved to his son and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jiang Weiguo obeyed the order without saying a word and immediately ran out of the woods.

The group of people who stayed where they were immediately started to follow the plan of previous years. Some picked chestnuts and some peeled chestnuts. Everything was in order, as if the previous accidents had never happened.

At that time,

In space,

Shu Miao, frightened out of his wits, broke out in a cold sweat. He staggered and fell down in the field, gasping for breath.

sky!

What did she do today?

It was obvious that this chestnut forest was not wild. How could she have overlooked such an obvious flaw?

If she hadn't been sitting down to rest and noticed someone coming in time, she would have been caught red-handed by now!

Although she had nothing on her body to hold the chestnuts, the few trees that had just been damaged were enough to prove what she had done.

If she were caught, her mind would immediately flash back to those children who were tied up and whipped in the drying yard that day...

I couldn't help but shiver.

Of course, this is only the case when the person coming is from the same team as her.

If it was someone else who came, would they beat her to death on the spot to prevent her from leaking the news?

Thinking of this, Shu Miao's face turned even paler.

She pursed her lips and shook her head hastily, trying to get rid of this increasingly bizarre conjecture from her mind.

Only then did he reluctantly bring his scattered thoughts back.

No, no,

For example, the small number of chestnuts was impossible for a child half her age to carry away. People would definitely suspect that she had accomplices. In this case, the probability of silencing her child would be almost zero.

From then on, Shu Miao's tense nerves finally relaxed.

She didn't feel it before, but now that she relaxed, she realized that her arms were aching violently.

She wanted to use her hands to pinch each other to relieve the pain, but as soon as she moved her hands, she grimaced in pain.

She couldn't even lift her hand!

At the same time, it was at this moment that she suddenly realized something she had been neglecting...

Logically speaking, with her small body, even if she could lift the bamboo pole, she would definitely not be able to hold it up for so long, right?

Shu Miao looked at his arms in a daze, his mind full of questions.

???

She pondered for a moment, but after searching through her memory, she found nothing unusual except a few pictures of herself collecting firewood every day.

If the job of collecting firewood itself is considered abnormal, it can be barely explained.

So, it is probably the result of years of practice?

Forget it, forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it!

But there is still a problem now, that is, we don’t know what the situation is outside?

She hasn't decided when to go out yet, but on second thought, she decided that she absolutely cannot go out now, at least not now!

Since I can't go out in the short term, I can't just sit there and think about random things, right?

How about taking a nap and resting for a while?

As soon as the thought of relaxing came to Shu Miao's mind, he felt even more exhausted all over.

She was already tired after a long day, and now she was frightened. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and she couldn't help but yawn.

He glanced at the distance between himself and the courtyard, struggled internally for a moment, and then fell asleep decisively the next second.

The last thought before going to sleep was: Fortunately there are no mosquitoes in the room, otherwise...

In the chestnut forest,

Another group of well-equipped young men arrived.

An hour later, this group of talented people left one after another, leaving only a mess on the ground.

The chestnut forest had returned to silence, and the chirping of insects and birds could be heard again.

***

The sun was slowly setting in the west, and a red cloud appeared on the horizon, reflecting the red color on the distant green mountains.

Not far from the Maoli Forest, a strange noise suddenly came out!

“Bang!”

Jiang Weimin, who was slapped in the face, noticed the cold gaze coming from behind him. His back stiffened and he quickly turned around and gave his second brother a flattering smile.

Then his breathing became much lighter, making the scratching sound seem more continuous.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to ask him to behave himself, but the incessant buzzing sound around him prevented him from saying anything.

As the last ray of afterglow in the sky was about to disappear, Jiang Weimin finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but say: "Second brother, how about we go back?"

Jiang Weimin did not receive a scolding immediately, and he instantly became energetic.

"Look, second brother, it's getting dark, it's pitch black and you can't see anything. The thief will definitely not come now. It's not a good idea for the two of us to just sit here and feed the mosquitoes!"
