Chapter 78: Keep vigil

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

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

  She kept mumbling, "Don't blame Mom, Mom is also trying to find a way for you to survive. There's nothing Mom can do, there's nothing Mom can do - wu wu wu."

  Mrs. Chen sighed at Gu Fei, "This girl is a "Okay, just because of my filial piety, I didn't give you this bread for nothing."

  "If your third brother hadn't looked down on it, I would have bought it for him as his wife."

  After finishing the rations, Uncle Ma discussed with Gu Zhang. Something about the vigil.

  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 have to drive during the day. If I have to stay overnight, how can I still have the strength?" Drive!" Uncle Ma looked at him sideways, "   Who

  doesn't drive? It's just for your own good. If you don't want to stay overnight, you can leave by yourself tomorrow."

You can keep a vigil at home. Is it possible for Lian'er to keep a vigil at home?"

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

  Gu Zhong said nothing.

  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 this was given to him, 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, so they have to keep watch even if they don't want to.

  Every household began to spread straw around the fire, and then put mattresses on top of the straw.

  There were tents and sleeping bags in Gu Fei's space, but he didn'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 shared a bed with Lanzhi, while Chen and Li Chunhua slept with grass. The bed they made was not far from the fire, and the men in the family were 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 guarding him for half the night. "If there are refugees or there is any danger that you can't deal with, just sound the gong. Everyone will be able to help when they wake up."

  Gu Qing gave it a try. "Qiang——" The sound was so loud that my eardrums were about to burst.

  Gu Qing smiled and said, "Village Chief, why did you bring everything with you?"

  The village chief glared at him, "What if I don't bring 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 you are counted among the few in the village. The family is well-off, and the main thing is that they can live a good life."

  Uncle Ma glanced at the gong and said, "This is a good thing. From now on, I will put it in the car at the end of the team. If there is any situation, I will know it as soon as the gong is struck." The

  night is getting darker, and everyone is aware of it. Gradually fell asleep.

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

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

  Next to 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.

  Gu Qing was shocked, this snake was 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, "Aren't snakes afraid of fire? Why are they here? Don't mess around. Move, I'll find a stone and kill it, it's all meat!"
