Chapter 54 Midnight Gathering

After hearing Zhou Ziwen's explanation, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi understood a little.

Indeed, they were not very fond of the Youth League, but they did not want to offend it either.

It's just a meal for them, it's not like we can't afford it.

The two discussed it and decided to follow Zhou Ziwen's original method. They could treat each other to a meal, but they needed to bring their own food.

After all, everyone is in the same situation, there is no extra food at home.

For educated youth like them who had just arrived in the countryside, the production team had to advance their food, and after the autumn harvest, they had to pay it back with work points.

After eating wild oyster mushrooms today, Zhou Ziwen had an idea.

In this era, supplies were scarce. When you came to the countryside, you only ate the same two dishes every day. There was no way to try something new.

In other words, they have no shortage of money and can buy some meat every now and then.

Add fishing and there is another dish.

But this was not enough, today's oyster mushrooms gave him some inspiration.

If there is no food, he can make it himself!

For example, growing mushrooms and bean sprouts are all very nutritious vegetables.

He just doesn't know the techniques of growing mushrooms and bean sprouts, so he needs to find an opportunity to learn.

Thinking of this, he decided to go to the county town another day to see if he could find any books on the subject.

As long as he has the knowledge in this area, he can upgrade his proficiency through the auto-play panel.

Perhaps others would have to worry about not being able to learn the techniques, but he doesn't have to worry.

As long as your skill level is high enough, there is no possibility of failure.

It just so happened that the vegetables in the yard were growing well, and once all these things were done, he would have no shortage of vegetables to eat.

With beautiful thoughts in mind, Zhou Ziwen fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when Zhou Ziwen was sleeping soundly, the sound of a gong suddenly rang out outside.

Zhou Ziwen got up, quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

The sound of the gong signifies the gathering.

And now it is the middle of the night, and the gong sounds are very urgent. This means an emergency assembly.

Generally, people will be gathered together like this only when there is an emergency.

Zhou Ziwen was the first to arrive at the Chen sisters' house, knocked on their door and shouted, "Yiyi, sister, are you awake? The village has an emergency meeting and we need to go there quickly.

"Here I come, here I come."

Chen Shiying's figure was heard in the room, and soon the door opened. It was Chen Qiaoyi who opened the door, followed by Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi.

"Brother Ziwen, what happened?" Chen Qiaoyi asked worriedly.

"I don't know yet. Let's go over and take a look first."

Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.

"Okay, then let's go together." Chen Shiying said.

"Um."

Zhou Ziwen nodded and took the lead.

However, before leaving, he took the axe from home with him so that he could use it to protect himself if there was any danger.

With Zhou Ziwen leading the way, the three girls behind him felt much more at ease and seemed relatively calm along the way.

When they arrived at the Youth League Home, they happened to meet people coming out.

However, most of the people in the Youth League Institute were quite panicked. It was obvious that this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

"Brother Zhou, do you know what happened?" Zhou Chaoyang came to Zhou Ziwen and asked about the situation.

"I don't know either. It's the middle of the night. I guess something happened in the village!" Zhou Ziwen shook his head and instructed, "Remember to stay with me later. I can take care of you if anything happens."

"OK."

Zhou Chaoyang, the Chen sisters and others nodded.

They all knew that Zhou Ziwen had practiced martial arts, so when they encountered problems now, they naturally regarded him as the backbone first.

The production team's gongs kept ringing, and everyone knew that the matter was urgent, so they soon arrived at the threshing ground where they usually gathered.

To make it convenient for everyone, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the threshing ground. The firelight shone on the villagers' faces, giving everyone some red light.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Captain Zhou Weiguo stepped forward and spoke.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to announce now."

"Just now, wild boars appeared in the fields of our village, and a lot of crops were destroyed."

"Now we need to be more vigilant and find these wild boars, otherwise everyone will be in danger."

"Everyone, divide into groups of three and go to the warehouse to find some self-defense equipment. Keep the village and surrounding areas well-protected. If anything happens, report it immediately and the village security team will handle it. Don't act recklessly."

Because we accidentally startled the wild boars when we discovered them, we don’t know where they have gone now.

It would be fine if he went back to the mountains, but if he ran to the village, that would be the most serious situation.

I won’t even mention how powerful wild boars are. If a person encounters one, he will definitely be punched into a hole.

This was not the first time such a thing happened in the village. Under the leadership of the team leader, the villagers each selected appropriate tools.

Zhou Ziwen had an axe in his hand, so he didn't need to choose any tool.

Zhou Chaoyang chose a hoe. Although it had little effect on the wild boar, having a weapon gave him some psychological comfort.

The girls, including the Chen sisters, were not very strong. Some of them held hammers and some held sickles. I don’t know whether they were useful or not, but in their eyes they were just weapons.

However, Zhou Ziwen felt that even if they were given a gun, let alone a sickle, it would be useless. If they really encountered a wild boar, they would only be able to serve as food.

There were three people in a group, so Zhou Ziwen was naturally in a group with the Chen sisters.

As for Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi, they found Huang Manqing, who had a good relationship with them.

Zhou Ziwen was assigned to the riverside in the direction of the Youth League Institute.

Zhou Chaoyang was not far from them, only two or three groups away, about a hundred meters away.

"Brother Ziwen, what should we do?"

When they arrived at their destination, the Chen sisters were a little overwhelmed.

They had never experienced such a situation before and had no idea what to do.

"Wait! As long as we don't find the target, we will stay here and not go anywhere." Zhou Ziwen said without thinking.

This place by the river was just what he wanted. Normally, wild boars would not come here. After all, this place was a bit far away from where the wild boars were found.

He guessed that this was a deliberate arrangement made by the village. After all, the educated youth could not lift anything with their hands or shoulders, so it was good enough if they did not do anything bad. No one expected them to do anything.

"So this is possible!" Chen Qiaoyi looked like she had gained a lot of knowledge.

"Haha, this is normal. The village didn't want us to do anything. Think about it, what would girls like you do if they encountered a wild boar and got injured? So the village is doing this for our own good." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.

"Then we'll just wait!"

Hearing this, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They didn't want to encounter a wild boar either!

Although they had never seen one, they knew how dangerous wild boars were.

"Well, just wait. I guess we all have to stay here today. If you feel sleepy, you can find a place to take a nap. I will keep watch." Zhou Ziwen said.
