An Shuheng nodded, "Okay, you can dig the rest. I'll have them put the stuff away and then get those guys up in the trees. As for food, they can eat it up in the trees."
It would be best to also solve the problem of going to the toilet. The thirty-one of them are fine, and his wife is also fine, but the other five are not. I don't know if it's because they stay in the room all year round and don't see the sun, but they are all as weak as women.
Go over there and tell them to look again tomorrow. Make sure it's convenient and hurry up. Then go back up the tree. As for those other people, have one of them climb up the tree, lower the rope down, and pull them up. Anyway, they're as skinny as monkeys, so they're not heavy.
After giving the instructions, simply dig a hole and bury the other items, cover them with a layer of oil paper, then cover them with soil. That should be fine. When you need them, just dig them out. As for the hoe, just put it away in a corner.
"Captain An, do we really have to climb the tree? We can't stay down here. If we fall down while we're sleeping at night, we'll be smashed to pieces," Chen Weijie said.
The other three nodded in agreement. They didn't want to go up either; it was too unsafe. It was at least thirty meters high, equivalent to a building, and that was an underestimate.
An Shuheng looked at them impatiently, "You don't have to go up, but we're going to go up anyway. You saw the wild boar today. There are quite a few animals that come out at night, especially wolves. They're pack animals, and their things aren't small either."
"The wild boars today have exhausted us. If it were a pack of wolves, we wouldn't be so capable. Don't say I didn't warn you, it's getting dark, hurry up and get up there quickly, or we'll have to climb trees."
Although they came to protect them, there was no rule that they had to bring everyone back. As long as his wife brought the results back, the higher-ups probably wouldn't care why the others died.
"Please forgive us, Captain An. We were just worried about safety, so we're climbing the tree now. We're just sorry to trouble you!" Li Wentao said.
I originally wanted to stay down there so I could get a good night's sleep, but it seems that won't work. However, what Captain An said makes a lot of sense: you might not sleep well up in the tree, but you won't die.
"As long as you cooperate, it won't be a problem. A few of you can climb the tree, pull them up, bring the dry rations, and take care of it up in the tree." After saying that, he went to find his wife.
"Honey, are you done yet?"
Yang Yahan glanced at him and handed him the hoe. "There's still a little bit left, you dig it up!" Her legs were numb.
After that night, the man stopped calling her by her name and started calling her "wife" every day. With so many people around, everyone could tell what was going on. He tried to stop her several times, but she wouldn't change.
He used to be such a serious man, but now he seems a bit of a rogue. They say you can see a person for who they really are after marriage, and she's already seen through him before we're even married. But she thinks it's fine, though. It's better to be a little more talkative than serious and silent.
If two people live together, and one of them is aloof and doesn't speak, answering every question with "uh-huh," "oh," or "okay," how boring would that be? It's practically the same as emotional abuse.
"Okay, I'll dig it up, you take a break." He took the hoe, carefully dug out the last bit of roots, and then held it up to show it. "Wife, this ginseng is at least eighty centimeters long."
He was referring to the main root and rootlets, not the leaves. It was about the thickness of an arm, but they had nothing to hold it. They probably just left it there without letting the medicinal properties be lost.
"Never mind how much it is, just come with me to the bathroom. It's getting dark, and I'm scared." She hadn't been to the toilet all afternoon. She hadn't been in a hurry because she was focused, but now that she was relaxed, she was starting to feel the urge.
She was going to marry him sooner or later anyway, so even if she didn't, it was so late and she didn't know what dangers might be involved. She couldn't care less about being reserved.
"Come on, I'll carry you across, okay?" He wasn't trying to take advantage of her. It was so late; if there was a snake lurking there, he wouldn't be able to see it, and if it bit her, there wouldn't be time to get medicine.
Besides, they've already consummated their marriage, so they don't care about these things. Once they leave this little world, they'll discuss marriage.
"Okay, I was going to say that, but I didn't expect you to say it first."
Seeing him squat down and climb onto her back, after walking a short distance, An Shuheng stomped his feet on the ground a few times, waited a while, and then put her down. "I'll close my eyes. It's fine as long as it's convenient for you. It's not safe to be too far away."
"Okay," Yang Yahan replied, quickly resolving this important matter.
I picked it up again, went back to where I had been, found the tree where I had hung my bag, and prepared to climb it.
"Why don't you pull me up?" One more person means one more weight.
"Trust in your husband's abilities, there won't be any problems. Hold the ginseng tightly, and everything will be fine." With that, he started climbing.
The people in the trees were all watching, and if they weren't afraid of speaking too loudly and attracting the animals, they would have been ready to speak up and cheer on their captain.
Only Wang Huiya looked unhappy. Yang Yahan had Brother An carry her up, but she could only be hoisted up, her body being slammed against the tree countless times. Just wait, she wouldn't let them get away with it so easily.
After climbing the tree, we sat on the trunk to rest.
"This tree is huge! We can sit on it without any problem; we won't fall off at all," Yang Yahan said.
"The premise is that you sleep well. Otherwise, you won't fall off while sitting, but you might not if you fall asleep. But don't worry, I will hold you while you sleep, and you definitely won't fall off."
"Then forget it. It's so hot, and you're so hot, you'll definitely have even less time to sleep. Don't you have a rope? Just tie me up."
Once tied up, it won't move around or fall down.
"No need, your bones will ache if you stay tied up all night. It shouldn't be that hot at night, let's eat first." He opened his backpack and took out some dry food.
They're used to the food, but their wives might not like it.
They were eating, while An Shuyi and her friends on the other side were packing up the things they had found that day.
"Huahua, it seems you're the most amazing one. You found so many potatoes, each one is as big as a cantaloupe. These things have to be stir-fried, otherwise they won't cook through."
Today, Hua Hua only found potatoes, but there were so many that they filled three sacks. Yu Mo found a few he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum), and she and Yu Bai found two yams and a few cherry trees.
Because the trees were too tall and too big, they could only pick the cherries from one tree. The rest would have to be picked the next day. Each cherry was as big as an egg and was very sweet. At first, they thought they were plums.
They look so alike. There's only one, two, or three cherries on each branch. Maybe it's because the cherries are so big. You can pick a whole box full from one tree.
To make room for the warehouse, the potatoes and yams were packed in sacks and then put into the warehouse. The fruit was packed in storage boxes, and the medicinal herbs were put directly into the warehouse. Fifty compartments should be enough. Now there are forty-seven left.
