Shen Yu didn't plan to go to the county town today because he had to count the goods in his family's warehouse.

And I have to help my wife clean up the house and the kitchen.

Although this week was not a long time, a lot of firewood was burned in the five houses of the Shen family, including a large pile of corn stalks in the autumn, so the two brothers had to go into the mountains to collect some dry branches and firewood.

Although the winter is cold, as long as the people in Kaoshantun, which lives near Longpan Mountain, are diligent, they can have a warm winter.

However, there are also lazy people who often steal firewood from one house to another and never go to the mountains to collect firewood.

After all, the road on the mountain is difficult to walk on and is covered with snow. It is very difficult to walk, not to mention carrying firewood.

Even if you picked up a piece of firewood from the mountain and walked through the snow, you would be exhausted even if you took it home.

Therefore, those lazy people will not be seen in Longpan Mountain.

So this year the Shen family’s old house is the most miserable. In previous years at this time, firewood could be burned at will.

There are two brothers, Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan. The Shen family's old house has the most timber, which is stored in the mountain.

But this year it was not possible. The jade wood stalks and corn roots were all burned, so we had to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

But now the Shen family has not split up, and the two brothers are together. Without old man Shen to control them, their lives are in chaos.

Finally, they had to reach an agreement that each family would send two people to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Wu Zhaodi was too lazy to do so, so she made an excuse that she was not feeling well and asked Shen Laosan Shen Zhi to take Shen Baozhen up the mountain.

In the second room, there are Shen Zhentao and Ji Daju.

Shen Hai still works at the supply and marketing cooperative. He is currently the only source of income for the family, so naturally they don't dare let him go to the mountains to collect firewood. If that affects his work, the Shen family would be completely finished.

Although Shen Baozhi no longer had her grandparents to take care of her, she had just returned from the hospital and became disoriented after walking a few steps, so naturally no one dared to let her go up the mountain.

The only ones who can go up the mountain are these four people.

Then the brothers Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan met them in the mountains.

To be honest, this seemed to be the first time the two families met since the scandal of Shen Mancang and his wife was exposed. Normally, they would take a roundabout way to get to know each other.

In the past, Ji Daju always saw Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan as arrogant and bossy, but this time her eyes were evasive and she didn't even dare to look at the two teenagers.

So they all went to the other side.

Shen Baozhen stayed behind, looking back every few steps at Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan. In the past, these two brothers had taken good care of her and were the only ones in the family who treated her as a human being.

She herself was already living at the bottom of society, so she always felt sympathy for the Shen Yu family who were also living at the bottom of society with her.

But since the separation, even though my uncle's grandfather and father didn't come to visit them at that time, their lives were getting better and better, especially Xiaoxi.

The tree was as tall as a green bamboo after rain.

She was good-looking to begin with, and when she wore beautiful clothes, even if they were made by the old lady, you had to know that the old lady's craftsmanship was among the best in Kaoshantun. The cotton-padded clothes and outerwear she made were very beautiful, not inferior to those hanging in the store at all.

Now when she sees her eldest and second brothers, although they still go up the mountain to collect firewood as usual, they are different in her eyes.

However, they had no blood relationship, so from now on, her previous thoughts - wanting to please her uncle's family and escape from her own home, had to disappear.

She didn't know what it felt like to feel hopeless, she just knew that life felt meaningless.

Her eyes darkened and she quickly caught up with the people in front of her.

At this time, Shen Jiawen and Shen Qingshan had already walked far away. They had already picked up firewood and were ready to go down the mountain.

It was already noon, and in the winter many families in Kaoshantun only had two meals.

The Shen family has had many guests recently, so they have three meals a day.

When they were halfway through the meal, Shen Qingshan suddenly frowned, put down his chopsticks, and gestured to Yaya, who was also chattering while eating at the table, "Yaya, don't talk yet."

This action made Shen Yu look at Shen Qingshan with a puzzled look.

Then Shen Qingshan opened the door and rushed out. At this time, 009 automatically scanned and the results came out. He shouted in surprise, "Xiaoxi, there are wolves in the forest."

Shen Mingxi was also startled and couldn't help asking, "Wolf pack, how could there be a wolf pack in the forest? Are there many? How many are there? How far are they from here?"

There were a lot of questions. Although she didn't want to believe it, she knew 009's capabilities and its scan would definitely not be wrong.

At this time, Shen Qingshan was already standing outside the yard, listening. After a moment, he entered the house and said to Shen Yu with a frown, "Dad, there are wolves in Longpan Mountain, and it's not far from the village."

The weather is pretty good today, and many villagers have gone into the mountains to collect firewood. If these people encounter a pack of wolves, they will be torn to pieces.

Shen Yu had no doubt at all about his son's ability in this area.

If his son felt there was nothing wrong, then even if the wolves didn't come down the mountain, if they happened to encounter people collecting firewood on the mountain, the people in the village would be in trouble. Without even caring about eating, Shen Yu quickly put on his cotton jacket and hat and quickly went to the captain's house.

At this time, 009 suddenly shouted, "Xiaoxi, the wolves have surrounded the six, seven, nine people who went up the mountain to collect firewood."

Shen Mingxi was also anxious, "Who are they? Do you know them?"

"They were running around in such a mess that the scan was not very clear, but one of them was Xiaoliu from the Wu family. She had the gift bag we gave her, so I was familiar with her scent."

"Are they in danger now?"

Although Shen Mingxi knew that Wu Xiaoliu's family would sometimes have a lucky gift package, she was still anxious. Chen Li saw her expression at this time. Chen Li thought her daughter was scared and hurriedly whispered, "It's okay. Although we are close to Longpan Mountain, the wolf dare not come into the village, especially in broad daylight now."

Goudan patted his chest and said, "Third sister, don't be afraid. If the wolf comes, I, Shen Linfeng, will protect you."

Shen Mingxi smiled and patted his brother's head. "Eat well. Only when you are full can you protect us."

Then he said to Chen Li, "Mom, I'm not scared. Our walls and gates are quite high. The wolves can't get in even if they want to."
