"Yes, I practiced it when I had free time before, but I hadn't choreographed it in a long time, so I was a bit rusty at first. Luckily, I still remembered how to do it, and I quickly became proficient."
Tang Baozhu never failed to answer other people's questions. She was the kind of person who was very casual. She could distance herself from others at the beginning or not. In any case, other people were dispensable to her.
After weaving all the rattan, and seeing that it was getting darker, I quickly packed up my things and prepared to cook myself a meal.
Because Tang Baozhu wasn't in a hurry, the others used the stove first. After they had all finished cooking and were ready to eat, she leisurely filled a bowl with flour, intending to steam a few buns for herself and then make a cold vegetable salad.
Even thinking of taking some meat from the space felt a bit too extravagant, since we already had white steamed buns. If we ate meat, what would others think?
I really hope my puppet can be more effective outside and take care of all those snakes and rats. Then, even if there are fewer people in the village, it doesn't matter if they are all educated youth. At least we can live a more comfortable life.

Su Rui'an did not return to the cowshed at the foot of the mountain that night, because he had built himself a small wooden hut in a secluded place near the deep mountains, where he stored some things that were not suitable for the cowshed.
So he piled all the kudzu roots he dug up into the wooden house on the mountain. Because of what happened in the village these past two days, no one has been keeping an eye on them.
So those people with secrets have been mostly away at night these past two days, leaving behind mostly older people.
The cabin wasn't very big, only about ten square meters inside. There was a small bed made of wood with some dry grass on it. There were some marks on the grass, so you could tell he used to sleep here.
Besides the small bed, there were some wooden things next to it, and a small clay stove, which looked like it was homemade, though a bit ugly.
There was even a ceramic pot on the clay stove, which was used for cooking food in the mountains. Although the place was a bit small, it was small but complete, with almost everything a family needed, although the things looked very old and worn.
For someone who has been sent down to the cowshed, being able to set up such a small home is already quite remarkable.
After arriving at the cabin, Su Rui'an went straight to the stream to wash all the kudzu roots dry. Then, in the middle of the night, he used a stone mill to grind all the kudzu roots into a paste. It's unclear where he got the stone mill from.
Occasionally, when he was tired or had some free time, he would think of the little girl he met on the mountain, and a smile would unconsciously appear on his face. However, he hadn't smiled in a long time, and after the smile appeared, he would quickly come back to his senses and put the smile away.
Considering my current status, I decided it was best not to bother the young woman, lest I implicate her.
Although he reminded himself not to get too attached to the girl, he still couldn't help but want to treat her well. So he planned to grind all the kudzu roots into a paste tonight, put it in a large wooden barrel to settle, and try to get the powder out in the next few days.
Judging from the little girl's appearance, she probably doesn't lack food. However, these are all fine grains that nourish the body, which the little girl probably doesn't have. We should prepare more and give her more.
Because he was constantly thinking about that little girl, even though he was exhausted all day, he still didn't feel very tired at night and was full of energy. It wasn't until dawn that he finally managed to grind all the kudzu roots into a paste.
As dawn approached, they quickly left the small wooden hut and headed towards the cowshed.
After all, it's broad daylight, so you have to show your face to avoid being recognized.
Tang Baozhu received a message from the puppet last night: in broad daylight and in front of everyone, two heavenly lightning talismans struck, sending the town's mayor and secretary to the hospital.
Although it's now called "Destroy the Four Olds" and we shouldn't believe in those demons and monsters, everyone still believes to some extent. After the lightning struck, the whole town was talking about it, wondering what sins the two of them had committed to deserve such punishment from God.
Because the lightning struck in broad daylight, the whole town knew about it in less than an hour, and then the news spread to the villages on the political periphery in all directions.
It's likely that the village where Tang Baozhu and her group live will find out soon. The only question is when the higher-ups will send people down to capture them all.
I got up very early in the morning because I really wanted to see the excitement, so I couldn't fall back asleep. After cooking myself a bowl of noodles, I quickly ran to the brigade headquarters after eating.
The others were also incredibly fast. Seeing Tang Baozhu like this, they thought something had happened, and they all arrived earlier than usual.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the brigade headquarters square, they saw the villagers talking amongst themselves, whispering very quietly. If Tang Baozhu hadn't had such good hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear them.
Although the others couldn't hear very clearly, they would pretend not to care and take a few steps forward to try and hear it more clearly.
Gradually, everyone learned about what had happened in the town. When they thought back to that night in the village, when several bolts of lightning struck down and injured all the village officials, and even yesterday when several more bolts of lightning struck down, they were all quite terrified.
All the educated youth looked like they wanted to see Tang Baozhu but didn't dare to. At this moment, they were thinking that they originally thought that she was only in this village, but they did not expect that she could kill people in the town from such a far distance. This is really amazing.
Some people even have incredibly vivid imaginations, thinking that if Tang Baozhu had been born a few decades earlier, she could have been placed on the battlefield, and whoever bullied her would be punished by God. Just thinking about it is amazing.
In the end, they couldn't resist their curiosity and sent out a leader to ask what was going on with the pearl.
In the end, only Ye Li was pushed forward. Fortunately, Ye Li was quite brave and went straight to Baozhu. She leaned close to Baozhu's ear and whispered, "Baozhu, what happened in town? Do you know? Was it because of you that you were struck by lightning?"
Although her voice seemed very soft, everyone around her crowded around, straining to hear Tang Baozhu's answer.
