Chapter 16
Compared with Fang Youwei's family, who lived like an outing here, the people of Fangjia Village had a different scene.

Also on a small slope against a mountain, Fang Yunping, the head of the Fangjia Village and also the head of the Fang family, sighed long as he looked at the flooded village in the distance.

Their Fangjia Village is probably more completely flooded than this.

Although everyone was fine because of the quick escape, all the belongings that had been saved for decades were gone.

Looking at his own clansmen, sitting or lying down, they sighed and sighed, all in a gloomy mood.

Fang Yunping was also at a loss, not knowing where to go next.

The place where they are staying now is a dirt slope surrounded by water.

On the opposite side of the water is a small mountain, and behind it is a big mountain.They dare not go up the mountain for fear of encountering wild animals, so they can only settle down on this isolated island-like slope.

The food brought by each family is not much, because there is no way to replenish it, so now they are saving food and only eat one meal a day.

But even this can't last for many days.

"Second Uncle, we don't have much firewood. All the small trees on this slope have been cut down, and the branches have been picked up. It's only enough to burn for two days." Fang Youcai came over and said.

Fang Yunping looked around, pointed to the narrowest part of the water surface and said: "Organize twenty young and strong people, preferably those who can swim, go to the opposite woods to chop firewood, and bring it back with wooden boards."

Hearing the words, Fang Youcai nodded, turned around and went to call people.

Fang Youcai is Fang Yunping's nephew and the eldest son of his elder brother Fang Yunhe.He usually handles affairs safely, and Fang Yunping also intends to cultivate him to become the next patriarch.

Fang Yunping's two sons didn't want to stay in the village, so they both went to work in the county, and they don't know what's going on now.

In a short while, twenty young men were gathered. They made the planks to be used, fastened the ax firmly to their waists, and pushed the planks into the water with long pennies.

The water surface is not wide, only forty to fifty feet, but the depth is as deep as a person, which is quite dangerous for those who do not know how to swim.

There are five planks for twenty people. A long rope is tied to both ends of the plank, and the end of the rope is left here.

After a few strokes they reached the opposite bank, and they put the planks by the water, and went to the woods to look for dry branches or saplings.

If you cut enough wood for loading, pull the rope here, pull the board back, and then pull it back after unloading the branches, which saves time and effort.

When the sun was about to go down, a lot of firewood was cut, Fang Yunping called them back loudly, but after waiting for a long time, he saw a group of people coming out of the woods dejectedly.

When the people came back to the slope with the planks, Fang Yunping asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like a ghost?"

I saw twenty people, all with disheveled faces, half of their hair loose, and their clothes torn.It seemed that after a group fight just now, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

A group of people looked at each other, and one of them said: "When we were chopping wood, we saw pheasants and rabbits a few times, and thought we would catch them after we finished chopping. As a result, with so many of us, we didn't catch any of them! "

After speaking, he wiped his face with his hands in frustration.

Fang Youcai sighed and said, "It would be great if Youwei was here. He is the only one in our village who knows how to hunt. If he was here, he would definitely be able to catch a few."

A young man knocked himself on the head and said angrily: "Brother Wei taught me to play tricks at the time. I thought it was fun at the time, but I didn't try it. Now I have forgotten..."

Seeing everyone sighing, Fang Yunping quickly said: "Okay, now move the wooden board over there and poke it up to dry. Blessed, you think about it slowly, maybe you will suddenly remember it."

Fang Yunping was also a little worried about Fang Youwei's family. They clearly followed behind, but they got separated for some reason...
