There are not many people left in the village today, not too many or too few.
There were only a few older people among the natives left, and a few little kids who really couldn't help but could still walk a few steps. Kids of this age were the hardest to take care of. They couldn't help out in the fields and needed someone to watch them, and they would run around and fall from time to time.
As for babies that need to be carried on the back, it is much simpler. You can just carry them outside. People in the family can take turns carrying them, and it doesn't take much effort. It would be even better if there is a tree nearby. You can just tie the straps to the tree and let the baby hang there.
It is very hot today. Many old people bring their children to enjoy the cool air under the big trees in the village. Once the mats are spread out, one person or an older child will watch over them while the old people go back to their private plots or home to work.
But there are really quite a few people among the time travelers who stayed in the village, young and old.
As long as they are a little older, even those who are 9 or 10 years old will go to see how Kaihua is done, and do it if they can. But most of those "children", the so-called "Singles' Alliance" and "No Baby Alliance", are kids who can feed the whole family with just one person or two people. Some of them are very young, a child of four or five years old, or five or six years old, and even if they want to go to the fields, people won't let them, so they can only stay in the village and slack off.
I wanted to go over and take a look, but the weather here is very hot and the land is dry. If I want to open up the land, I have to loosen the soil first, and if I don't have the strength, I can't do it.
It's not that they don't want to wait for rain, but they've been waiting for so many days and not a drop of rain has fallen. If they wait any longer, life will be over, so they can only do what they are doing now. They had heard from Director Li that this place basically has little rain year-round, so if they want to wait for rain to moisten the land, they really can't think about it.
Even if there is a heavy rain, once it hits the ground, everything will be dry and nothing will be left.
The children went over and poked the hard, rock-like ground, then had to return in shame. They really didn't have the ability to do it. There was no other way. They really couldn't do these things at their current age and physical condition.
However, being idle all day long is really frustrating. Not everyone likes playing games. What's more, playing games requires that you can go out for a walk at any time and have other entertainment options. At this time, playing games is just an entertainment option.
But once something becomes the only option, people's interest in it will immediately drop sharply.
No matter how fun this game is, there is no way to tell yourself behind the portal that you can pretend that you have not traveled through time, because all the windows in the house are gone. When you open the curtains, there is a wall behind them. Even the entire terrace of the house with a terrace is enclosed. It's just an extra space.
So everyone got together to play cards to kill time.
There are a few little kids curled up on the kang, and once the door is locked, hey hey!! Isn’t this just doing whatever they want?
Play cards!! Let’s go!!
Some girls also planned to watch a play, so they made an appointment with a family and went there. However, in order to prevent the villagers from being overly enthusiastic and having no sense of distance and "spontaneous visiting" each other, the doors are now locked.
However, they hadn't been free for long when screams and wolf howls were heard outside. Everyone shuddered. What was the point of playing?
"I'll go out and take a look!" The brave one said and took out an axe from the backpack given by the system. However, because his body was too small, he stumbled as he took out the overweight axe.
The people watching were speechless: "I think you'd better forget it. You can't even lift the axe, so why did you buy such a big one?"
"How could I know that traveling through time would make me smaller? I'm not a prophet!" The man put the axe back in front of him when he said this. The axe was really useless now, and it would delay his escape, and he would have to drag it back home later.
The only bad thing about this golden finger is that you can't put back the things you take out.
Someone else asked, "This wolf won't get in through the wall, right? How good are their jumping abilities?"
"Wolves can jump very high. I've seen documentaries about them before." Someone suggested, "But I don't think there's any need to worry about this. At worst, everyone can just run behind the portal. That should be absolutely safe."
"Wait, how can you be sure it's a wolf? Maybe it's a dog that's escaped. Some dogs don't necessarily bark like wolves. Besides, we haven't actually come into contact with wolves, so how can we tell whether the sound is from a wolf or a dog? It's also possible that someone was imitating a wolf's howl out of boredom."
"Then let's send someone out to see what's going on. I think it's a wolf. Otherwise, why would the others be making such panicked noises? I get goosebumps just listening to it. It's terrifying."
"There's no need to send anyone out," the owner of the house said. "Have you forgotten? Didn't we have a lot of surveillance cameras in the village?"
"Oh, right!" The person next to him slapped his head and said, "I forgot about that. That's easy. I'll check it out now... Wait, this needs to be viewed on my home computer or my phone, but that still requires an internet connection. I don't have my phone or computer with me right now, so how can I view it? Even if I can connect to your home network, it won't work."
