Chapter 54: Gathering at midnight
Hearing Zhou Ziwen’s explanation, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi had some understanding.
Indeed, they are not too fond of the Educated Youth Institute, but they don’t want to offend either.
It’s just a meal for them, it’s not something I can’t afford.
The two discussed it and decided to follow Zhou Ziwen's original method. It was okay to treat guests to dinner, but they needed to bring their own food.
After all, everyone is in the same situation. There is no extra food at home.
For educated youths like them who have just gone to the countryside, their grain is paid in advance by the production team. After the autumn harvest, they still need to pay it back with work points.
Eating wild oyster mushrooms today gave Zhou Ziwen an idea.
In this era, supplies are scarce. When you come to the countryside, you only eat those two dishes every day, and you can’t think of anything new.
That is to say, they are not short of money and can buy some meat every now and then.
With the addition of fishing, there is another dish.
But that’s not enough. Today’s oyster mushrooms gave him some inspiration.
If there is no food, he can make it himself!
For example, cultivated mushrooms and bean sprouts are all very nutritious vegetables.
He just doesn’t know the techniques of growing mushrooms and bean sprouts, so he needs to find opportunities to learn.
Thinking of this, he decided to go to the county town another day to see if he could find any books on this subject.
As long as he has this knowledge, he can upgrade his proficiency through the idle panel.
Maybe for others, they still worry about not being able to learn the techniques, but he doesn’t have to worry.
As long as the skill level is high enough, there is no possibility of failure.
It happened that the vegetables in the yard were also growing smoothly. When all these things were done, he would not be short of vegetables.
With beautiful thoughts in mind, Zhou Ziwen fell into sleep.
In the middle of the night, when Zhou Ziwen was sleeping soundly, a gong sound suddenly sounded outside.
Zhou Ziwen stood up, got dressed in a hurry and walked out of the house.
The sound of the gong signifies the gathering.
And now in the middle of the night, the gong sounds very urgent. This is an emergency gathering.
Usually only urgent matters would call everyone together like this.
Zhou Ziwen first came to the door of the Chen sisters' house, patted their door and shouted: "Yiyi, sister, are you awake? There is an emergency gathering in the village, we need to get there quickly.
< br>“Coming, coming. "
Chen Shiying's figure came from the room, and soon the door opened. It was Chen Qiaoyi who opened the door, followed by Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi.
"Brother Ziwen, what happened? Something happened? "Chen Qiaoyi asked worriedly.
"I don't know yet. Let's go and take a look first."
Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go there together." Chen Shiying said.
“Yes.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded and took the lead.
But before setting off, he took the ax from home with him so that he could use it to defend himself if there was any danger.
With Zhou Ziwen taking the lead, the three girls behind him felt more at ease and seemed relatively calm along the way.
When they arrived at the Educated Youth Institute, they happened to encounter people coming out.
However, most of the people in the Educated Youth Institute were panicked. It was obviously the first time for them to encounter such a thing.
"Brother Zhou, do you know what happened?" Zhou Chaoyang came to Zhou Ziwen and asked about the situation. "I don't know either. It's so late at night that something happened in the village!" Zhou Ziwen shook his head and said, "Please remember to follow me later so that I can take care of you if anything happens."
“Okay.”
Zhou Chaoyang, the Chen sisters and others nodded.
They all know that Zhou Ziwen has practiced martial arts. Now when something happens, they will naturally regard him as the backbone immediately.
The gong of the production team kept ringing. Everyone knew that the matter was urgent, and soon they arrived at the grain drying field where they usually gather.
For the convenience of everyone, a bonfire was lit in the center of the grain drying field. The firelight shone on the faces of the villagers, giving everyone some red light.
Seeing that people were almost here, captain Zhou Weiguo stood up and spoke.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I want to inform you of something."
"Just now, wild boars appeared in the fields of our village, and a lot of crops in the fields were destroyed."
“Now we need to be more vigilant and find these wild boars, otherwise everyone will be in danger.”
"Later, everyone will be divided into groups, with three people as a group. The guys who go to the warehouse to defend themselves will be strictly guarded by me in and outside the village. Once there is any situation, report it in time and let the village guard team solve it. Qian Don’t be reckless.”
Because I accidentally disturbed the wild boars when I found them, and now I don’t know where the wild boars have gone.
It would be okay if we went back to the mountains, but it would be the most serious thing if we ran to the village.
I won’t tell you how powerful the wild boar is. If you encounter one, you will definitely hit a hole in it.
This is not the first time this has happened in the village. Under the organization of the team leader, the villagers each selected suitable tools.
Zhou Ziwen had an ax in his hand, so he didn't need to choose any tool.
Zhou Chaoyang chose a hoe. Although it had no effect on wild boars, having a weapon gave him some comfort.
Girls like the Chen sisters are not very strong. Some hold hammers and some sickles. I don’t know whether they work or not. Anyway, in their eyes, they are weapons.
However, Zhou Ziwen felt that even giving them a gun, let alone a sickle, would be useless. If they really encountered a wild boar, they would only be able to deliver food.
In a group of three, Zhou Ziwen naturally formed a group with the Chen sisters.
As for Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi, they found Huang Manqing, who had a good relationship with them.
Zhou Ziwen was assigned to the riverside in the direction of the Educated Youth Institute.
Zhou Chaoyang was not far away from them, only two or three groups separated by about a hundred meters.
“Brother Ziwen, what should we do?”
When they arrived at their destination, the Chen sisters were a little at a loss.
They had never experienced such a battle before and had no idea what to do.
"Wait! As long as the target is not found, we will stay here and not go anywhere." Zhou Ziwen said without thinking.
This place by the river is just what he wants. Under normal circumstances, wild boars will not come here. After all, this place is a bit far away from the place where wild boars were found.
He guessed that this was deliberately arranged like this by the village. After all, educated youths could not carry their hands or shoulders, so it was good if they could do no harm, and they were not expected to do anything.
“So it can still be like this!” Chen Qiaoyi looked like she had gained a lot of knowledge.
"Haha, this is normal. The village didn't want us to do anything in the first place. Think about it, you guys, what would girls like you do if they encounter a wild boar and get injured? So the village is also doing it for our own good." Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile. .
"Then let's just wait like this!"
Hearing this, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They didn't want to encounter a wild boar either!
Although they have never seen one, they also know how dangerous wild boars are.
"Well, just wait. I guess we all have to stay here today. If you are sleepy, you can find a place to relax for a while. I will keep watch." Zhou Ziwen said.
