"Mom, I was vomiting all night, and the fourth child didn't sleep well with me all night, so don't let him go."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye looked up and glanced at her fourth son.
Ye Lao Si felt ashamed by his mother's look and quickly said, "Mom, I'm not sleepy. I'll go with my second brother."
After he said that, he walked quickly to the door, picked up the shoulder pole and bucket, and ran ahead of Ye Laoer in two steps as if he was being chased by a dog.
Wang Guangping saw a figure whizzing past him, and then he saw Ye Laoer coming out of the yard carrying two empty buckets.
"This is..." Wang Guangping was confused. The Ye family didn't have any land to irrigate, so what were they going to do?
Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao San also looked at him in surprise.
"Mom asked us to fetch water for Qingyuan's family." Ye Laoer said concisely.
Wang Guangping couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "Look at me! Your mother is a sensible person! We are from the same village, so we should help each other!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye smiled and said, "Village Chief, of course, you can take my third son away and use him as you please.
"But I have one more request..."
When Wang Guangping heard this, he immediately felt a little disdainful.
He just thought that everyone in the Ye family was honest, but who knew they would immediately start to put forward conditions to him.
After all, he came back from outside, and if we don't know his background, he must be hiding something.
But despite his thoughts, he immediately agreed.
"If you have any requests, just ask. Repairing the waterwheel is a major event for the whole village and cannot be delayed.
"Don't worry, as long as it's something our village can do, I, as the village chief, can take the initiative and agree to it on behalf of everyone!"
"Before, when the third brother went to repair the waterwheel, I was worried that the waterwheel was so high. If he slipped and fell, it would be no joke.
"Look, Wang Dalong fell into the river last night and has not been found yet.
"So when my third child goes to repair the waterwheel, please ask the village chief to arrange two young people to help. Please ensure his safety!"
"Ah?" Wang Guangping was stunned when he heard this.
Boss Ye doesn't want money, and he doesn't want things, so in the end he made this request?
What kind of request is this?
When Boss Ye saw that Wang Guangping didn't say anything, he thought he was in trouble.
Suddenly I thought, should all the villagers go to find Wang Dalong?
Thinking of this, Ye Lao Da immediately said, "I didn't think it through. If the village can't spare any manpower, then I won't go up the mountain today. I'll accompany the third brother to repair the waterwheel."
Ye Lao San said, "Brother, just go and do what you need to do. I was fine last time I repaired it, so I won't be any problem this time either."
Listening to his brothers pushing and shoving each other, Wang Guangping finally came to his senses.
"Hey, eldest brother, look at what you said, your third child is helping the village repair the waterwheel.
"As the village chief, no matter how unkind I am, there is no way I wouldn't even provide him with this basic arrangement!
"Just put your mind at ease and do what you need to do.
"I'll be with you the entire time you're repairing the water truck this time, and I'll definitely bring you back home safely!"
"With the village chief's words, I feel completely relieved."
So Wang Guangping took Ye Lao San straight to the riverside, while Ye Lao Da went up the mountain to hunt as planned.
After walking halfway up the mountain road, Boss Ye began to set up homemade noose under some trees.
I hope that when I come back down the mountain, I can catch some small prey like hares or pheasants.
After setting more than a dozen nooses, Boss Ye continued to walk deeper into the mountains carrying his homemade bow and arrow.
There used to be a small path in the forest that was trampled out by the villagers over the years, but as you go further in, it's all dense forest, with thick fallen leaves under your feet, and you can't find any mountain path at all.
Boss Ye didn't walk fast, his eyes constantly scanning the ground and the surrounding tree trunks, looking for traces left by animals.
The ears and nose are also busy, concentrating on distinguishing the subtle sounds and smells in the mountains.
According to his usual experience, Boss Ye came to the river where he had caught fish before.
He wanted to try his luck and see if there were any animals drinking water by the river.
Boss Ye pushed aside the last bush in front of him and immediately held his breath.
The foot that was about to fall also hovered in mid-air.
By the river, an adult sika deer was drinking water defenselessly with its head down.
Boss Ye maintained the posture of standing on one leg, and carefully drew out the bow on his back, took out an arrow from the quiver at his waist, and put it on the bow.
He drew his bow, aimed at the sika deer by the river, and suddenly released his hand that was drawing the bow.
The arrow shot straight into the deer's neck.
