The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Qian Youliang and the others unloaded the food, ate two more mouthfuls of steamed bread, and then went out again to look for a tree hole.

Chief Qian was worried that the group would get tired, so he wanted to replace a few people and let them rest in the team.

But several people said they were not tired. But in the end, they still changed people.

Because other people in the team also want to find tree holes to get food.

You know, this is food. Even if they were asked to carry 200 kilograms each, they would not feel tired.

Wang Chengzi was also replaced by Old Wang.

Originally Wang Chengzi didn't want to change, saying that he wasn't tired.

Old Wang looked straight at Wang Chengzi and said gently, "No, you are tired."

Wang Chengzi wanted to refute, but when he saw his father's kind smile, he shuddered.

Suddenly I remembered that when he didn't go to school, his father also laughed like this.

Then Wang Chengzi stayed in bed for more than half a month. Thinking about it now, I feel pain all over my body.

He quickly stuffed the millet into Lao Wang's arms, speaking in a hurried and flattering tone.

He said to Old Wang: "Dad, you are right. I am tired. I will leave the baby to you. I will go to rest for a while."

Old Wang took the Xiaomi and said "hmm" coldly.

Then he carried Xiaomi and walked towards the team that was digging tree holes.

Wang Chengzi saw Old Wang go away. He let out a breath and wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.

Then he walked to Zhang Xing'er and leaned his head on her shoulder, looking for comfort.

"Xing'er, did you just see it? Dad is so scary." Wang Chengzi said with lingering fear.

Zhang Xing'er looked at Wang Chengzi's funny behavior and burst out laughing.

Wang Chengzi's eyes became more resentful. Zhang Xing'er quickly comforted him, "Yeah, it's a little scary. Brother Cheng is really brave. He's not afraid of this."

Wang Chengzi could tell that Zhang Xing'er was teasing him. He followed Zhang Xing'er's words and said, "No, my husband is afraid. Xing'er, please comfort my husband."

Zhang Xing'er listened to Wang Chengzi's increasingly frivolous words. Two faint blushes rose on her cheeks, making her look as delicate as a spring flower.

"My wife is so pretty." Wang Chengzi was mesmerized and stared straight at Zhang Xing'er's face.

"Dad, Mom. What are you two doing?" At this time, Gou Wa's voice came slowly from the side.

Zhang Xing'er saw that the two of them were seen by the child. She pinched Wang Chengzi's soft waist in shame.

Wang Chengzi's face twisted in pain. He said to Gou Wa, "I didn't do anything. Dad is tired. Let your mother help you for a while."

Gou Wa let out a cry and ran away again. Zhang Xing'er shouted from behind, "Gou Wa, slow down," and followed him.

Wang Chengzi was the only one left there, rubbing his waist alone.

At this time, Xiaomi was being held by Old Man Wang, looking for a tree hole everywhere.

Following Tuanzi's guidance, the group walked further and further away.

"Xiaomi, there is a big hole. There are a lot of chestnuts and pine nuts in it." Tuanzi's voice came in Xiaomi's mind.

So they followed Xiaomi to the place Tuanzi said.

This time it was not a tree hole, but a hole in the ground.

Tuanzi must have found the squirrel's big storage room. After they found it, they started digging quickly.

First use a hoe to enlarge the hole, and stop when it is large enough to accommodate an adult.

Then, plump, round, and large chestnuts appeared before my eyes.

Squirrels are natural nut pickers. The chestnuts in the hole are all plump. There are almost no bad ones. The same is true for pine nuts.

Old Wang picked up a chestnut, which was as big as a walnut. He peeled off the outer skin with his hands and then removed the dark brown inner skin.

The pale yellow chestnut flesh is revealed. Take a bite. It is crunchy and sweet. It is refreshing and delicious.

I ate the chestnuts in my hand. I was afraid that Xiaomi would want to eat them too.

So she said to Xiaomi, "My dear, wait until you get home. I'll let grandma cook it for you before you eat it. Otherwise, you'll have diarrhea."

Old Wang didn't dare to give Xiaomi raw chestnuts, and he had to take them out from the squirrel hole.

I was worried that Xiaomi might have diarrhea after eating it because of her bad stomach, so I had to coax Xiaomi home and cook it before giving it to her.

Xiaomi nodded obediently and squatted behind the hole, watching them dig out handfuls of chestnuts.

Several people surrounded the cave entrance. Old Wang also went in to help. Only Xiaomi was left to play on the side.

Xiaomi squatted beside them and watched them busying themselves, and also reminded Tuanzi to be alert to the surroundings.

At this time, the squirrel seemed to know that its nest had been dug out. There was a squirrel on the tree that kept chirping at Lao Wang and the others.

Xiaomi: "Tuanzi, what are they saying? Can you translate it?"

Tuanzi shook his head in his mind and said, "I don't know, but it must be very dirty."

Xiaomi burst out laughing. "I think so too. After all, all the food I worked so hard to store was gone when I came back."

As the squirrels called, more squirrels began to jump over.

Soon, the surrounding trees were full of squirrels, all chirping at the people under the trees.

Some of the squirrels were holding pine cones and chestnuts in their arms and began to throw them at the people.

Qian Li, the youngest son of Qian Lizheng, cried out "Ouch!" A chestnut hit him right on the back of his head.

Qian Li picked up the chestnuts on the ground and put them in a sack, then rubbed the back of his head that had been hit.

A cheerful voice said, "Hit more. I'm not afraid of pain. Come on. The more the better. Hahahahahahaha"

Qian Youfu also laughed when he heard this. He said jokingly, "It's ok to hit me. I'm not afraid of the pain."

The squirrels saw that smashing things was useless, so they all stopped and then dispersed.

A few people thought the squirrels were going to scatter, but they climbed up the tree one by one, holding the stones.

Stones are different from chestnuts. When you are hit by a chestnut, it hurts a little.

If I was hit by a stone, it must have been thrown from such a high tree.

If you are unlucky, you might even lose your life here.

Seeing this, Old Wang quickly hugged Xiaomi into his arms and held her tightly, with one hand resting above her head.

Be ready to block any stone attacks from the squirrels.

Xiaomi lay in Lao Wang's arms, not anxious at all, because Tuanzi had just told her.

A big guy is coming here. It will arrive in two minutes.

Under the tree, several people stepped aside, their backs pressed together, surrounding Lao Wang and Xiaomi in the middle to block the stones that might be thrown down by the squirrels at any time.

Qian Youfu was just about to put the basket on Lao Wang's head to cover it.

Suddenly, the squirrels seemed to see something terrible.

One of the squirrels let out a series of sharp, rapid cries. The other squirrels immediately dropped the stones in their hands.

Then he ran deep into the woods at a very fast speed.

Old Wang saw that the squirrels were running in a strange way, so he called a few people to leave first, and then bring a few more people to dig out the food in the cave.

"Why don't we go back first. There's something wrong with the way the squirrel walked. Or..."

"Ow"

Before Old Wang could finish his words, he was interrupted by a tiger's roar.

The sound seemed to be very close to them. At this time, they all knew why the squirrel ran so fast just now.

They wanted to run, but the tiger had already emerged from the woods.
