Chapter 1389 Standing Guard
After hearing what the captain said, the villagers did not immediately go to the captain to sign up. It was not because they had no sense of responsibility or did not want to earn work points. It was just that they were exhausted in the past two days and they just wanted to go home and have a good rest.
The captain was not angry when he saw that no one came to sign up for a long time, because he knew that the villagers were very tired, otherwise there would be no one coming to sign up.
"Captain, I want to ask how long I need to stand guard on the next shift?"
"Six hours. Change people after six hours."
"Then I'll sign up."
"Okay, I'll write your name right away and give you ten work points."
When the villagers heard that a shift only required six hours, many of them were tempted. When they heard the team leader say that they would be given ten work points for each shift, the young and middle-aged men who still had some physical strength immediately went to the team leader to sign up.
The remaining people who did not go to the captain to sign up were all those who had the will but not the ability. Although they also wanted to earn those ten work points, their bodies did not allow it, so they had to give up this good opportunity to earn work points.
After the captain registered the names of all the people who came to register, he saw that there were a total of twenty-four people, so he decided to divide these twenty-four people into three groups and let them take turns to stand guard.
After the team leader arranged the first group of guards, he asked the villagers to go home and rest and go to work in the fields tomorrow.
"Eat quickly, you've been hungry all day." Aunt Cauliflower brought the food to the table and said to the captain after he returned home.
"good."
After the captain finished his meal and rested for a while, he planned to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there was any problem with the water pipe. However, as soon as he got off the kang, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, forcing him to sit back on the kang.
Aunt Caihua saw what the captain had done, so she immediately got off the kang and walked to the captain and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, I just felt dizzy, maybe I got heat stroke, go get me a glass of water."
"Okay, I'll pour it for you right away. Sit on the kang and have a good rest. Don't stand up again."
"good."
After the captain drank the water that Aunt Cauliflower poured for him, he felt a little better, so he planned to stand up to see if his vision would suddenly go dark again.
"Old man, let me help you." Aunt Caihua said to the captain after seeing him getting off the kang.
"good."
After the captain got off the kang, he walked back and forth in the main room with Aunt Caihua's support for several times. After walking several times, he did not experience the sudden blacking in front of his eyes again, so he said to Aunt Caihua, "I'm fine."
"You should rest a little longer."
"I don't have time to rest. I have to go check the condition of the water pipe. The condition of the water pipe is related to the food supply of the whole village. We can't be careless."
"Then I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
"good."
When the captain arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw that the water pipe was supplying water normally, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He asked the people on guard to keep a close eye on the water pipe and then he planned to go to the field to check the situation in the field.
"Old man, why did you arrange people to stand at the water pipe?" Aunt Cauliflower asked the captain.
"To prevent someone from stealing the water pipes, our village is the only one in the surrounding area that has bought the water pipes. I'm afraid they might have bad intentions, so I have someone watching them."
