"Lao Su, Lao Qiao, did you hear what happened last night? Is everything okay over there?!"

"We were all scared by the noise last night. I don't know who fired the gun in the mountains. Fortunately, the wolves in the mountains didn't run down."

"That's right. We have several other families here, but you're the only one there. We're really worried about you."

"I didn't expect there were wolves in the mountains. We've been here for a few years and haven't seen any yet."

"Yeah, I usually only see wild boars coming down the mountain, I thought wolves didn't move around in this area."

"I was so scared that I couldn't sleep in the second half of the night, for fear that the wolves would come down from the mountains."

…

As soon as Su Huaiyuan, Qiao Ruru and Su Ze headed to the agreed place at the foot of the mountain, Cai Qingwen and Lao Feng came up to them immediately, looking at them and asking with concern.

During the few times they went into the mountains before, they didn't encounter any ferocious beasts at all. Thinking about it, they felt that their luck was really good.

I don't know who were in the mountains last night. They were armed with guns. I don't know what happened after they encountered the wolves?!

However, these things have nothing to do with them. They just have to live their own lives well.

"Just before we had breakfast, the team leader brought dozens of people with the production team's guns into the mountains to check. He also told us not to go deep into the mountains, and it would be better to find more people to go with us."

Su Huaiyuan repeated Bai Lianshan's words to everyone, but he did not tell anyone about the three people they met last night.

He and Aru analyzed the situation and concluded that the three people who heard the gunshots in the mountain last night were definitely those three people, and they were very unlucky to have encountered wolves.

In the end, no one knows whether the man won or the wolf won.

"The captain is right. Let's go to a familiar place to chop wood. It will be safer with more people."

Cai Qingwen couldn't agree more with Bai Lianshan's words. Their life this year would be different from last year. At least they didn't have to work so hard.

Everyone shared the same idea as him, so naturally they couldn't agree more.

So, a group of people went to the place where the people in the cowshed used to chop firewood.

After what happened last night, after we got to the mountain, everyone didn't dare to separate too much, nor did they dare to run too far, for fear that no one would notice what happened.

Everyone was very conscious and only stood a few dozen meters apart, and had to look at the people around them from time to time to give them a sense of security.

Old Feng didn't dare to let his grandson go looking for firewood alone, so he just asked him to follow him closely.

However, they didn't expect that not long after they started chopping wood, two people came out of the mountain, stumbling and groaning.

The two men suddenly appeared in front of everyone, which stunned Qiao Jiru and the others. They immediately became alert.

However, the two men did not expect that after finally escaping from the mountains, they would meet a large group of people here. They immediately stopped and were stunned.

Both parties were deliberately wary of each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

Qiao Jiru and Su Huaiyuan recognized the two embarrassed men at a glance. They were two of the three people they met when they sent their daughter back last night.

But, aren't there three people?! Why are there only two?! Where's the other one?!

The two men secretly watched the group of people in front of them with caution. They both realized that this group of people must be from the production team at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that they were out to buy firewood.

There was no way they could defeat so many people, and there was no need to expose themselves. Besides, who knew what they were doing in the mountains? ! To catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods. Thinking of this, the two men immediately became confident.

Just when Lao Feng, Cai Qingwen and others were secretly gripping their axes tightly, the two men walked straight past them without even looking at them.

Soon, the two people disappeared from their sight, and that direction was the direction of going down the mountain.

After the two men left for a while, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension in their hearts finally settled down.

Damn it, they realized belatedly that their backs were covered in cold sweat.

"Keep blowing the wood. We won't send the wood down the mountain in batches later. We should go up and down the mountain together. It will be safer this way."

After taking a break and getting over the fear, Old Feng proposed this to everyone.

Of course, no one disagreed, and they didn't dare to be too far away when chopping wood, and they almost stayed under each other's eyes.

At eleven o'clock, everyone started to sort out the firewood and then went down the mountain together.

On the way back, everyone felt more at ease when they kept looking at the people from the production team.

After Su Huaiyuan, Qiao Jiru and Su Ze said goodbye to everyone at the foot of the mountain, they hurriedly carried firewood back home. At this time, Zhou Wanwan was already making lunch.

Qiao Xiaoru hurried over to help, Su Ze stayed with his two sons, and Su Huaiyuan went to find Uncle Xiao.

Not long after, Su Huaiyuan came back.

"Uncle said that the captain and his men haven't come back yet."

Bai Lianshan and his group went up the mountain almost an hour earlier than them, but they haven't come out yet at this time, and it's unknown whether they have found a way out.

"Wait until the captain and the others come back, and then go check where we just chopped wood."

"By the way, Uncle 깇 told us not to go over there to chop wood this afternoon, but to go in another direction. We also need to have as many people as possible, otherwise we shouldn't go."

"If there's not enough firewood, Uncle 깇 said we can buy some more charcoal to use."

carbon? !

Yes, buy charcoal.

Charcoal is a good thing, and using charcoal is also very convenient.

Whether it's roasting a fire, having hot pot, barbecue, or boiling water on a small stove, it's so convenient to cook something simple.

In addition, she also wanted to buy hundreds of kilograms of charcoal for her daughter. Moreover, charcoal is the most durable thing. Even if it is not completely burned, it will not go bad after several years. Qiao Ru's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she saw something good.

"Did you ask Uncle Ji where to buy this carbon? How much is one pound?!"

She wished she could buy several hundred kilograms right now so that she could have hotpot in the evening.

"It's said that they charge one cent per pound, so the production team next door has to sell it. Let's go ask Lao Feng and his team if they want to buy some carbon too?!"

"Okay, then we should buy more, let's buy more than 100 kilograms."
