Chapter 825

~7 min read 1,305 words

After Sun Physician finished speaking, everyone dispersed one after another.

And those who stayed in the meeting place, besides Village Chief Sun Physician and Accountant Li Youcai, were only these 16 hunters and militia members, plus a Niu Qi.

At this time, Niu Qi was regretting his actions, almost regretting his intestines blue.

Being selfish was one thing, but he had to act tough and show off. Now it was good—if he couldn't kill a bear, he would very likely be sent to the farm for labor reform.

It exactly verified that old saying, which is:

"Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived."

After everyone left, Sun Physician didn't pay attention to Niu Qi and said to Wang An and the others:

"Our village's crop fields are quite a lot. Fortunately, there are only a few directions where animals are prone to ruin them. We will still follow the previous years and divide into two shifts, one shift guarding for a day and a night, and two people in a group guarding a forest edge. If we can exterminate the wild boars nearby, that would be even better."

Pausing for a moment, Sun Physician suddenly said through gritted teeth:

"On the premise of ensuring safety, eliminate as many wild boars as possible. The destructive power of these damn wild boars is truly too great."

One has to admit, among all animals with destructive power to crops, wild boars definitely rank first.

Mainly because this thing normally appears in groups, and when they eat, they don't eat properly; they ruin while eating.

Either they arch the crops over, or they press the crops under their bodies and roll around when scratching an itch.

Sometimes it only takes one night for the crops in an entire field to be completely ruined, not eaten much, but completely ruined.

The most critical thing is that this thing's combat power is also very formidable. Besides hunters with guns, ordinary farmers really have no good way to deal with them.

So after Sun Physician finished speaking, everyone nodded heavily.

Immediately after, Sun Physician continued to say to everyone:

"This time protecting green seedlings is expected to take ten days or half a month. Let's not delay; mainly because the crops in the fields can't afford to be delayed. Let's divide into groups ourselves in a moment, and start squatting and guarding in the fields from today. What do you all think?"

After Sun Physician finished speaking, everyone spoke one after another:

"Uncle Sun, I have no problem with this."

"Mm, I have nothing to do either."

"I'll start going down to the fields tomorrow. I still have some work to finish at home today."

"Me too, I'll also start tomorrow."

Just like this, everyone was talking about the time they could go down to the fields.

And Accountant Li Youcai was recording it in a small notebook.

Soon, Li Youcai finished recording and said:

"Who is in a group with whom? I'll record this too."

Dividing into groups, even for the village chief, cannot be done blindly, because protecting green seedlings and hunting are actually the same; this thing pays attention to "human heart, horse and saddle."

Otherwise, people who don't trust each other squatting and guarding in the fields together, in case of disputes or uneven distribution, it is very easy to have big problems.

Lu Deshu said:

"I've been hunting with Tiegang for many years, so we'll still be together."

Wang An also said:

"I'm in a group with my younger brother Lao Wu, so we can look after each other."

Immediately after, others also said the names of the people in their groups.

After Li Youcai finished recording again, Sun Physician scanned everyone and said:

"This time, the 5 mu of wasteland per person is also according to the names recorded by Youcai. During the time of protecting green seedlings, if everyone has something to do, say it in advance. Try not to do things like 'tying ears on the sedan chair'—everyone say if it's okay."

After Sun Physician finished speaking, he looked at everyone one by one. It was clear that this was asking one by one.

But Sun Physician doing this really had no flaws. After all, the tasks were already assigned. If someone suddenly asked for leave, what should be done about protecting green seedlings? So under Sun Physician's gaze, everyone agreed one after another:

"Mm, okay."

"I have no problem here."

"If I have something to do, I will definitely say it in advance."

"I also have no problem, I'll say it if I have something."

After everyone agreed, Sun Physician waved his hand and said:

"Alright, let's go collect guns and bullets. Strive to have a harvest today, hahahaha..."

As they spoke, everyone followed Sun Physician to the warehouse in the courtyard.

After everyone collected the guns and bullets, they told each other the positions they were squatting and guarding, and then everyone went home happily.

It was clear that everyone was happy because they got 5 mu of wasteland.

Of course, including Wang An and Wang Li, they were also very happy.

Not only did they get wasteland, but each person also got 30 bullets for free. The key was that once they started squatting and guarding in the fields, there would definitely be a considerable harvest of prey. This kind of good thing that kills many birds with one stone really makes people unable to be unhappy.

It was just that when everyone hadn't walked far, Comrade Niu Qi finally couldn't hold on.

Perhaps thinking of the danger of squatting and guarding in the fields, Niu Qi said to Sun Physician with a face full of horror:

"Uncle Sun, Accountant Li, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again in the future. Please forgive me this time."

Hearing Niu Qi's voice, everyone slowed down subconsciously. Some people even stood still, wanting to hear how Sun Physician and Li Youcai would respond.

After all, this kind of excitement is truly quite interesting.

One has to admit, Niu Qi is not only selfish, but most importantly, he cannot see the situation clearly.

Facing something like protecting green seedlings that is beneficial to everyone in the village, he couldn't stand others' efforts being rewarded, thinking that others' efforts were all deserved.

Of course, if he just thought about it, it would be fine, but is it a bit stupid to clamor publicly?

His clamoring can be said to have offended all the hunters and militia members.

Finally, he was reprimanded and warned by the three leaders in turn.

However, he didn't lower his head and admit his mistake at the first time, but waited until everyone left to admit his mistake.

Maybe he was hindered by face, or maybe he just realized the key to the problem.

But when he opened his mouth to admit his mistake at this time, what should Sun Physician and Li Youcai do?

You have to know that Militia Captain Sun Xiangfeng had already left.

Should they just forgive him quietly?

If they really did that, how would Sun Physician and Li Youcai be leaders in the future?

What would the hunters and militia think?

And what would all the villagers in Kaoshan Village think?

So, after Sun Physician and Li Youcai looked at each other, their faces were full of uncertainty.

Sun Physician drooped his face and said very angrily:

"It's already this time, and you damn just thought of admitting your mistake. What were you doing when there were many people? Don't look for me, I have no way."

Li Youcai also said:

"The child is dead, and you damn have milk. Think of a way yourself."

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you.
