Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

Everyone came back one after another, received their packages and put them on the ox cart. The team leader then drove the cart back. The road was extremely long and they hadn't arrived yet after an hour. Someone asked: "Captain, how long will it take to get there?"

The captain said: We have only walked halfway. If we continue at this speed, it will take at least another hour.

Everyone groaned when they heard this. Many female educated youth were too tired to get up, and the four male educated youth were not much better off. They could only still walk while standing, but it was impossible for them to walk faster.

The captain looked at everyone and had no choice but to say: Let's take a break on the side of the road. We'll continue in ten minutes.

Upon hearing this, everyone sat on the ground without caring about their image, and some even lay down. It was not that they did not want to pay attention to their image, but they were simply too tired. They had never walked such a long distance since they were young.

During the break, the team leader looked at the physical condition of these educated youth and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything. After all, they were given food based on how many work points they earned, and he was just the team leader, not their parents.

He just looked at Feng Qingcheng who was fanning herself with a small fan and said: Feng Zhiqing, aren’t you tired?

Feng Qingcheng was not thinking about all these at the moment. She had been looking at the surrounding environment, and was still admiring the beautiful scenery of the countryside. She was suddenly asked something and didn't know what it was. She was stunned for a moment and said: Ah?

Then he glanced at the people behind him, and immediately made himself look extremely tired and said: I'm so tired, so tired, I don't have any strength left.

Captain Cheng said speechlessly: If I hadn't been watching you the whole time, and your acting was so realistic, I might have been fooled by you.

Feng Qingcheng said helplessly after hearing this: Uncle, don't insult me ​​like this, I am really tired, I am not acting, who doesn't feel tired when walking, you can't accuse me.

Anyway, I would never say that I am not tired even if I die.

Upon hearing this, the captain laughed and said: Okay, you are tired, that's enough.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Yes, yes, yes, I am very tired, but I am still more concerned about my image, so I have been enduring it.

The captain didn't talk to her about this topic and changed the subject: Do you know martial arts?

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingcheng's eyes turned back and forth, and she thought again and again, wondering whether she would say yes or no.

The captain did not give her time to answer and continued: If you know how to fight, I will organize a hunting trip in the next two days. If we catch any prey, we will share it equally. If we don't catch any, we will get 30 centimeters a day. Do you want to go?

Feng Qingcheng thought about it and shook her head after hearing this: No.

Two very straightforward words, the answer was so clean and neat.

Upon hearing this, the captain smiled and said: Why not go?

Feng Qingcheng said: I have enough food to eat. Even if I work in the fields, I don’t want to get many work points. I’m just hanging around here. No one wants me to earn many work points.

Upon hearing this, the captain said helplessly: I know you are good at martial arts. I asked you to go mainly because I want you to protect the villagers. After all, none of us knows martial arts. I can only hunt rabbits and pheasants. If I encounter a wild boar, I will be scared.

So you know, the autumn harvest is coming soon and everyone will be busy, so I wanted to take advantage of this time to replenish everyone so that everyone won’t be too tired to work by then.

Walking back from the town, I saw you walking with a solid foundation and steady steps. I could tell at a glance that you were capable of martial arts. I don't ask for a lot of prey, I just hope that everyone can return safely from the mountains.

Feng Qingcheng lowered her head and thought for a while after hearing what she said and said: Then you don’t have to go to the mountains. Just ask for a few wild boars and I will hunt them for you. This will save you the trouble of going there. If you encounter a group of wild boars, I will be too busy to deal with them.

It doesn’t matter whether I get work points or not. I don’t care. I just hope that when the time comes, people won’t say that I’m just waiting to be beaten up for catching some prey.

Upon hearing this, the team leader smiled and said: That won't happen in the team. Everyone is a small animal who kills them themselves to improve their food. No one will say anything.

If you have the ability, go and fight on your own. Few people in the team go up the mountain alone. After all, many people died there, so everyone is still quite afraid of the mountains.

If you have the ability to hunt the game yourself, and if anyone says anything, tell me and I will help you out.

Feng Qingcheng shook her head and said: "If someone says something about the prey I hunted, I will never hunt for the team again, even if you beg me to do it. That's all."

If there is someone who is blind and talks behind my back, I will beat him up. After all, I am not the kind of person who will swallow my anger. I can beat anyone, from an old man to a baby.

Although we won't beat them to death, some of them will lose limbs. Captain, don't accuse me of being ruthless when that happens.

Among all the people I have dealt with, this one with broken arms and legs is the lightest.

Upon hearing this, the team leader was speechless and said: We are all fellow villagers, there is no need to be so cruel.

Feng Qingcheng said: As long as you don't provoke me, I won't beat anyone up. Although I am an educated youth who went to the countryside, I am still a child. After all, I have heard that there are some second-rate guys in many villages who do not do their jobs and tease girls. These things are commonplace.

Some elderly people would even take advantage of their age to bully others, but that was no problem for me. I would just give them a beating and make them lose their limbs, and they would never appear in front of me again.

So I'm giving you a heads up in advance, captain, to prevent anyone from bullying me because I'm young.

As for the affairs of the Youth League Home, since I don't live there, I won't interfere with the life or death of the people there.

So the team leader doesn't have to worry that I will side with them. To me, the villagers may be more friendly than the educated youth.

After all, some people are worse off than others at not learning anything, so I was just giving the captain a heads-up.

Upon hearing this, the team leader thought for a while and said: There are indeed some people like this in the village, but if they cause trouble to you, I will not sit idly by. If they cause trouble to you and you deal with them, I will not say anything.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: That's good. Now that we've talked about it, I will go to the mountains to hunt some wild boars or something for the villagers tomorrow. Captain, please find someone to help me repair my house. After all, we will be living here in the future.

If the tiles are broken, replace them with new ones. Make the walls higher for me. If there is cement in the village, buy some for me. I want to use cement for the walls so that mud won't fall off. I plan to install floor heating in the house so that it will be much warmer in winter.

Upon hearing this, the team leader said helplessly: I don’t know how to make a ground dragon, and neither do the villagers. If you know how, you can ask someone to help you.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Okay, then I'll take a look at the house when we get there and redesign it then. Captain, please help me find someone to arrange it, and I'll tell them myself then.

After everyone had a good rest, we started off again. This time we walked for an hour and a half and everyone was so tired that they didn't know which way was which.

Among them, there were a few female educated youth who wanted to cheat and refused to walk, insisting on taking the ox cart. The team leader was very annoyed. Normally the journey would only take an hour, but they had delayed them for so long and were still making a lot of noise. The team leader was very angry and said directly: You guys stay here, because after dark, wolves and other wild animals will appear.

If you really don't want to go on, I will send people to the brigade and then come back to pick you up and send you back to the Youth League Office. I don't want to take care of you anymore.

Don’t you see that the youngest people here are not as pretentious as you are? And you still have the nerve to say you are tired.

In the end, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered to the team. The team leader took everyone to the Youth League Home, said something to the captain of the Youth League Home, and then left with Feng Qingcheng.

First deliver the things to the house at the foot of the mountain. After seeing this house, Feng Qingcheng said directly: Uncle, please help me buy tiles. I want to replace them all with new ones. I will use these old ones to build a toilet, and then ask someone to build me a bigger firewood shed in the backyard.

The windows and doors need to be replaced with new ones, and please remove the roof of the house for me. Is there a carpenter in the team?

I want to buy a bathtub, a cabinet and other things.

The captain said: I will find someone to help you build it. You put your things down and I will let my wife find some people to clean it up later.

Feng Qingcheng said: Okay, can you please find a few more people to clean up the front and back yards? I will give each of them one dollar.

The team leader brought Feng Qingcheng home and said something to his wife, then took her to the home of a carpenter in the village. The carpenter was the team leader's eldest brother, named Cheng Hu, who was forty years old.

Feng Qingcheng said: Hello, Uncle Cheng, I want to replace all the windows and doors in the house with new ones, and the courtyard door with a bigger one, as well as the cabinets, washbasins, bathtubs, cupboards, tables, chairs, and kang tables in the house.

Give me some more wooden boards you have processed, and then I saw the wooden path in the yard: I want all of them. I would also like to trouble Captain to buy me some new tiles and cement. How much do they cost?

You give me a hundred for all these, and if there is more, I will return it to you. If there is less, you can give it to me.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Uncle, I will give you 150 yuan. You can keep any extra money and tell me if there is less. The extra tiles are enough for two rooms. I want to build a kitchen and a storage room in the backyard to use for the floor heating.

The captain nodded and said: Okay, take the money and leave.

Feng Qingcheng said to Cheng Hu: Uncle Cheng, please send the doors, windows and these wooden boards over first, and the rest tomorrow. I need to clean up the house today, thank you.

Cheng Hu said: It’s not a trouble, I’ll send it to you later, you can go back first.

Feng Qingcheng nodded and said: Okay.

The team leader found a dozen people who were building houses, and went to Qingcheng's house to start cleaning up. The kang was also re-arranged. Two kitchens were built on the east side, and the other one was a storage room.

A bathing room was built on the west side, and a well was dug in the backyard.
