Chapter 268 The One-Eyed Monster



After he finished planting the seeds, he looked up and was startled to see a monster by the river.

A one-eyed monster wearing a black cloak floated in the air, emitting a sinister laugh.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but in the blink of an eye, the one-eyed monster seemed to be closer to him, and its voice seemed to be closer too.

"Bang--"

Xiao Shi was attacked and lost health, but he couldn't see where the one-eyed monster was. It was just in front of him a moment ago, but now it was gone.

"Bang--"

When Xiao Shi looked up, he was shocked to find that he had lost more than half of his health.

"Fifth Uncle, please save me!"

"Bang bang—"

Before Lao Wu and the others could arrive, Xiao Shi's health was reduced to zero, and the three of them were forced to return.

The three people looked completely bewildered: "..."

Seeing that they were awake, Chen Nong asked happily, "Did you hunt a lot of game this time?"

The child said sadly, "I was killed by a one-eyed monster."

Chen Nong comforted him, "It's alright. I was burned to death by some kind of priest before."

When Chen Kai heard that Daya had woken up, he went inside with Old Man Chen and the others.

Daya recounted their harvest this time. Their farmland was getting bigger and bigger, and they didn't have much time to cut down trees, so they didn't make many tools like stone spears. Most of the wood was used to make wooden beds.

They went there and came back, and only 15 minutes had passed, but the crowd of onlookers had not dispersed.

Old Man Chen said, "Seventh Brother, take some men and surround our house so that no one can get close."

Zhou Kai, go and call the people who registered in the team. Also, call the families of the 120 injured workers to come and collect their blankets. Each family should receive one set.

Fourth brother, take some men and move the bed frame out.

With so many people in the front yard, it was difficult to take things out, so Daya had to fill each room with wooden beds. After the quilts were put away and the bed frames were moved out, she continued to put out wooden beds.

The people outside the hospital got excited again when they heard that the Chen family was going to donate 120 sets of quilts to injured workers.

"Master Chen, when are you going to hold your family's sacrificial ceremony? The sooner the better!"

"You need to move a bed frame? Come on, let us help."

The families of those injured at work quickly formed a long queue in the front yard of the Chen family's house.

After the registration staff in the team confirmed that the names and family members matched, Sanya allowed them to receive a set of quilts.

Just after a few sets of quilts were distributed, news came from the Chen family that the 43 people in the team who were eligible for the pregnant women's meal were also entitled to one set each, and their families were asked to come and collect it.

After the blankets were distributed, Old Man Chen told the team members to take 100 stone spears back with them.

The more weapons, the safer. He hoped that each member of their team would have a stone spear, so that others would avoid them when they traveled.

The children surrounded the fifth brother again, clamoring for him to draw out the good stuff.

"Fifth Uncle, bring out the lip balm!" Niu Niu said happily.

They've already used up the lip balm they got earlier, but they still want to use it.

"Fifth Uncle, have some milk tea. That milk tea before was so delicious."

Da Ya sighed and said, "You can't use the Koi Card randomly. Whatever you draw is what you get. Don't make a fuss."

The fifth brother said, "I want to save the energy points for Gousheng to upgrade. The lottery consumes too many energy points now, and the amount of energy points gained is still not high. Otherwise, in the future, besides me, I can only bring one other person in."

But everyone wanted to go inside Silly Girl's place.

Therefore, we need to let Gousheng upgrade his account and see if there's any way to solve this problem.

Fifth Brother: "I'll do a ten-pull first, and save the rest of the energy points."

"Congratulations, host, you have received: 2 lottery tickets, thank you for your patronage, 1 lottery ticket, thank you for your patronage, 1 bucket of water, 12 packets of salt, thank you for your patronage, 10 packets of hot pot seasoning, 2 bags of nutritional oatmeal, and 1 lucky draw card."

Old Man Chen happily picked up the salt, "The price of salt will be lowered tomorrow, buy two spoonfuls and get one free."

Zhou picked up a large bag of oatmeal and asked curiously, "What's this?"

Chen Kai glanced at it and said, "It's oatmeal. Open it up, and there are small packets inside. It says there are 16 small packets."

It can be eaten for breakfast; just mix it with hot water. It's sweet, and Da Ya and the others should like it.

Er Ya exclaimed excitedly, "I want to eat!"

Zhou took out a packet for them to try.

The eldest son's wife brought in hot water.

Chen Kai opened the bag and poured the cereal into the wooden bowl.

Er Ya dipped her finger in the food and ate it, her eyes sparkling as she exclaimed, "So sweet, and so fragrant!"

As Chen Kai brewed the tea, he said, "Don't fill the cup too full with water. After adding the water, just stir it and it's ready to drink."

"It smells so good!" Sanya exclaimed.

A small packet of instant oatmeal was quickly finished by the group, each taking a sip. The children who didn't get any continued to fuss for more.

Zhou said with a stern face, "I'll give you some more tomorrow morning."

The fifth brother had saved enough lottery tickets for another ten-pull, so he continued to draw.

"Congratulations, host, you have received: 12 baby bottles, 1 bucket of water, 1 box of uterine warming patches, 5 pairs of thermal leggings, thank you for your patronage, 24 pairs of men's socks, 3 lottery tickets, 1 lottery ticket, 2 buckets of water, and 1 lucky draw card."

"Wow! There are warm pants and socks!" Chen Nong exclaimed in surprise.

Er Ya, holding the pretty baby bottle, asked curiously, "What's this?"

Fifth Brother: "Gou Sheng said that's a baby bottle, for babies."

The eldest son's wife said happily, "It's for feeding the baby milk and water. It's so convenient to feed the baby with this. The person who made this is a real talent."

Zhou said, "Let's keep 6 of them and give the rest to the babies in the team."

Er Ya exclaimed speechlessly, "Why is there so much water?!"

The fifth brother laughed and said, "It's better than thanking you for your patronage."

The next morning, Sanya and the others woke up Daya, Laowu, and Xiaobao.

Sleepy-eyed Xiao Bao yawned and said, "I want to sleep, please don't bother me."

Sanya shook him and said, "Xiaobao, quickly tie me up for a farmer's job. I want to go to Sha Niu's place with Daya."

Upon hearing that he was going to Sha Niu's place, Xiao Bao perked up, "Can I tie myself to the farmer's position?"

System: "Host, you can't."

Xiao Bao sighed and said, "Alright, Cousin Sanya, I'll tie one up for you."

Er Ya, who had just grabbed a lucky draw card, ran over and exclaimed, "Xiao Bao, tie one up for me too!"

Xiao Bao's little face was all squashed flat, so to avoid further suffering, he had no choice but to tie up his cousin Er Ya's face as well.

In the end, Er Ya managed to snag the last spot and went with Da Ya and Lao Wu.

Chen Nong, who was woken up, was not going back to sleep. He quickly jumped up and down on the bed.

He woke up everyone in the room.

When the second son's wife saw that they were all awake, she brought in a few hand warmers for them.

"If you're awake, get dressed and stop making a fuss."

In the courtyard, the second son was already leading people to make handcarts, and several bonfires were lit around the perimeter to keep warm.

Early in the morning, many people came to the Chen family to borrow stone shovels, stone axes, and even water.
