Chapter 78: Keeping a vigil

Lian'er did not go to Qian's place. Instead, she walked to her mother, handed the half of the steamed bun she was not willing to eat to her mother, then covered her face and turned around to run away.

 The woman held half of the steamed bun, and her tears fell one by one like broken beads.

He kept mumbling, "Don't blame Mom. Mom is also trying to find a way for you to survive. Mom can't do anything. Mom can't do anything - wu wu wu."

Ms. Chen sighed at Gu Fei, "This girl is a good girl, and because of her filial piety, she didn't give her this stuff in vain."

“If your third brother hadn’t looked down upon you, I would have bought it back and made him his wife.”

 After finishing the dry food, Uncle Ma discussed the night vigil with Gu Zhang.

 In this wilderness, one is afraid of refugees and the other is afraid of wolves.

Uncle Ma said: "Each family will provide a strong laborer and divide it into two shifts to watch the first half of the night and the second half of the night."

 Gu Zhong frowned after hearing this, "I still have to drive during the day. If I stay awake all night, how can I still have the energy to drive!"

Uncle Ma looked at him sideways and said, "Who doesn't drive a car? Are you the only one who is rich? I am doing this for everyone's benefit. If you don't want to keep vigil, you can leave by yourself tomorrow."

Gu Zhong said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. Women can also keep vigil at night. Do you think it is possible for Lian'er in my house to keep vigil at night?"

Uncle Ma snorted, "No, what use is a woman? You may not even know if someone touches her."

Gu Zhong was speechless and stopped talking.

Uncle Ma doesn't like Gu Zhong very much. In the past few days, it seems that this man only cares about himself and has many small calculations in his mind.

Besides, if he was given this opportunity and women were asked to keep vigil in every household, it would be of no use.

At Gu Fei's house, Gu Qing is keeping watch. Boss Zhang, Gu Zhong, and Gu Rong all have only one adult man in their house. They have to keep watch even if they don't want to.

Every household began to spread straw around the fire, and spread mats on top of the straw.

There are tents and sleeping bags in Gu Fei's space, but he doesn't dare to use them.

The village chief even brought a door panel with him. He put the door panel on the ground and spread the mattress. It felt beautiful.

Gu Fei and Lanzhi share a bed. Chen and Li Chunhua sleep with grass on them. The bed they make is not far from the fire, and the men in the family are behind them.

 The old lady went to Qian's place to sleep with Lian'er. The two of them slept warmly.

Before going to bed, the village chief gave a gong to Gu Qing, who had been watching the whole night, "If there are refugees or there is any danger that you can't deal with, just sound the gong, and everyone can help when they wake up."

Gu Qing tried it, and the sound was so loud that his eardrums were about to burst.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Village chief, why do you bring everything with you?"

The village chief glared at him and said, "What if I don't take it with me? I don't know how long it will take to go back. It's not safe to leave it at home."

Gu Qing nodded, "No wonder your family is considered well-off in the village, mainly because you know how to live a good life."

Uncle Ma glanced at the gong and said, "This thing is good. From now on, I will put it on the car at the end of the queue. If there is any situation, I will know it when I hit the gong."

 The night is getting darker and everyone is gradually falling asleep.

 The ones who stayed up until midnight were Gu Qing, Gu Rong, and Boss Zhang.

Gu Qing also wanted to sleep, but he forced himself to look around while sitting on the carriage shaft with his eyes wide open.

Beside him, Boss Zhang was dozing off little by little, and Gu Qing didn't call him.

At this moment, Gu Qing heard a low "hissing" sound. He held up the lantern and shined it on the ground. What a big red chain snake!

 Swimming under the wheels of the wheel.

Gu Qing was shocked, this snake is poisonous!

He quickly poked Gu Rong next to him, held the machete tightly, and whispered: "Uncle, what should I do if there is a snake?"

Gu Rong was startled, "Isn't the snake afraid of fire? Why did it come here? Don't move around. I'll find a stone and kill it. It's all meat!"
