Chapter 562 You Don't Dare to Go, I Will

oming to grab this water source, after the canal is dug, people also need to take turns going up the mountain during the day to watch it.The villagers were ecstatic, their descent from the mountain a...After leaving Liu's wedding banquet, Fang Jinshu looked at the still lively Lishui Town and thought of staying to buy some things.

But then I thought, they've been out for a few days now. Looking at the sky, if they wanted to buy things, they would have to stay another night in Fangjiacun before returning home.

Fang Jinxiu thought about it but decided against it. She had really gotten into the habit of, when she arrived in a place with abundant resources, instinctively wanting to purchase everything and fill up her space.

Since we are currently experiencing a severe drought, no one knows when it will end.

With no food in her hands, she panicked.

Village Head Zhao had already prepared the twenty-odd people, and as soon as Fang Jinshu came back, they could set off at any time.

As he was leaving, Jinxiu also left a message for Village Chief Zhao.

"If anyone from the Liu family comes looking for me, you should find a wide open place and burn something big and smoky."

"We can see from the mountain."

Fang Jinxiu had Zong Yu set up a patrol post at a high point on Yelan Mountain. As soon as Liu Qi and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were discovered.

From the lookout point, if there were any thick smoke rising from Fangjia Village, it would definitely be visible.

Thus, such a primitive method can be used to transmit information.

Upon hearing this idea, Village Head Zhao found it to be excellent.

He was worried that once Fang Jinshu left, he wouldn't be able to find her if anything happened.

"Zhao village chief, then we will take our leave."

"I'll discuss this matter with Village Head Wang and have someone get back to you within three days."

Village Head Zhao nodded repeatedly. Although things weren't completely resolved yet, when he heard Fang Jinshu's words, a sense of relief washed over him instinctively.

The Zong family also had a somewhat noteworthy incident.

Zong Bai was sweating profusely, staring at the two people in front of him. Tie Zhu, Chang He, and Li Yuanchun, the three deputy squad leaders, were also there, all with serious and ashamed expressions.

"Who would be so despicable as to steal even the sprouted seeds The village is this small, what use could they possibly have for taking back the sprouted seeds"

"It was precisely because Sister-in-law wasn't there that things went awry."

"I'm sorry, Zongbei. It was our fault for not looking after the seeds in the field."

"Now is not the time to be concerned with who is at fault," Zong Bai shook his head.

We have to find this seed thief as soon as possible. If we let him keep destroying our crops, there's no way we'll be able to harvest the first batch before the snow falls.

The villagers' wages are this batch of grain. It is the winter rations for the entire village.

As soon as Zong Bai said that, everyone immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Tie Zhu immediately stepped forward and said, "I'll organize people to patrol the mountains at night. I don't believe we won't be able to catch this thief."

Chang He and Li Yuanchun also stood up at the same time, "We can join the patrol too."

Li Yuanchun said, “Sister Zong, giving us the land to cultivate was a mistake on our part. We are responsible for this.”

"Second Master, just give the order and let us patrol the mountains."

Zong Bai frowned tightly, "No."

"The wild beasts in the mountains have only retreated into the deep forests, but that doesn't mean they've stopped moving around."

"Especially at night, they still come out to forage."

"Patrolling the mountains at night is far too dangerous. I can't let you put yourselves at risk. My sister-in-law and brother would never agree to this if they knew."

"But the thief only comes out at night to steal seeds," Tiezhu exclaimed urgently.

If he can operate at night, we can too.

"I don't believe it! Could the wild beasts in this mountain really be working with the thieves They only appear when we are here, but never when the thieves are around."

"Changhe saw Tiezhu, his voice was a bit forceful. He quickly pulled on his sleeve and advised him."

"Tie Zhu Ge, don't worry, Zong Bai Ge wouldn't let us go up the mountain at night because he's worried about our safety."

Tie Zhu was indeed a bit anxious and agitated. Seeing that Jinxiu's sister-in-law had more and more capable people around her, he not only failed to do well his own work, but also made such a big mistake.

To speak so hastily was a bit out of line.

The long river advised him kindly, but he retorted angrily, his eyes blazing.

"So many people in the village rely on those seeds from the mountains to get through the winter. If we're afraid of death and don't dare patrol the mountains, those seeds will truly be given away for nothing to those thieves!"

"You don't dare to go, I will!"and was so excited that his mouth watered.He was lucky enough to have a meal at Zong Yu's house once. Their food is really delicious, and even when there wasn't a drought, other people couldn't eat th...
