When the sun set, the children who had been playing all day and had not taken a nap finally could not take it anymore.
Outside the residential area of the county, there was a small river. The Winged Knights were busy with their shovels.
Canvas tents with screens were set up for the children to sleep in.
They did not eat dinner. They had been eating since noon. After a few mouthfuls, they left to find some friends to talk to.
Or they would play with the sand again. When they wanted to eat, they would wash their hands again.
The farmers did not stop them. This autumn excursion was to make the children happy.
Urgent need for subscriptions. The number of subscriptions was increasing, but very slowly, in the single digits. Thank you, everyone. The farmer bowed.
Under the night sky, a group of teenagers rented a stove next to the Drunken Immortal House. They were trying their best to fry chestnuts with a shovel.
They borrowed the stove and coals. Guan Xiao Tan agreed to let them use the chestnuts as a rental fee.
This was already the fourth pot. The teenagers went to pick more chestnuts in the afternoon.
The method of frying chestnuts was simple, but the process was not easy to master.
The first pot was directly fried. There were still some uncooked chestnuts inside. After taking them out, they removed the stones from the top.
This process required the use of thick gloves. After the chestnuts were fried, they would stick together with a lot of stones, forming clumps.
The second pot of frying was still fried. Smoke kept coming out.
The other teenagers used a knife to cut the chestnuts one by one. They encountered helplessness in their anticipation, and when they had hope, they were disappointed.
But they had no way out. They had to master the timing and skills.
"It's over again." Looking at the chestnuts in the big pot, some of them had not changed color, and some were still smoking. The teenagers felt that their strength had been sucked away.
Guan Xiao Tan came over and said to the leader, "Little Dong, you can't fry like this. Every time you think you will succeed. You are too anxious."
"Brother Guan, what should we do?" The teenager called Song Little Dong. He shook his sore arms.
"Don't put it on the fire. Pour the chestnuts and sand in. Stir it back and forth. You still have not mastered the technique of stirring evenly."
Guan Xiao Tan did not know how to fry chestnuts, but he knew that the apprentices who learned how to cook in a big pot first fried the stones.
When they could easily stir the stones back and forth with a shovel, they were allowed to cook simple dishes.
The youths' arms clearly did not have the strength to stir-fry a big wok, so they could not keep up with the speed.
Song Xiaodong brought a few people to carry the cauldron down. He gritted his teeth and looked at Guan Xiaotan, "Brother Guan, can you lend us a few cauldrons to practice?"
"Yes, I'll lend you two more pots. You can practice by yourselves. Your arms will be very painful tomorrow." Guan Xiaotan nodded in agreement.
He wanted to see the youths succeed. It was just four pots of chestnuts.
She picked out the burnt ones and put the rest into the popcorn pot. She just needed to pop them again.
Or put it in a big pot to boil it. After boiling it, the water content was controlled.
When the time came, the workers could bring it home to eat. It wouldn't be a problem.
"Come on, let's practice. Tomorrow, someone else will pick the chestnuts. You must learn it."
Song Xiaodong regained his confidence when he saw that he could get a free cauldron.
The other youths were also unwilling to admit defeat. Now, all they had to do was to exert their strength and not spend any money.
The youths took turns to rest, taking turns to use the spade to cook.
If they were thirsty, they would drink free soup. If they were hungry, they would eat chestnuts.
"It's on fire, it's on fire. The county government's storehouse is on fire."
When the sun was about to rise in about an hour, the sound of shouting and the sound of gongs intertwined.
It was the time when people were sleeping soundly. The people around the county government were woken up by the noise and were in a daze, thinking about something.
The bailiffs on duty were the first to discover the fire. They shouted for their men and went to fetch water trucks.
More and more commoners came out of their homes, carrying basins and buckets.
They didn't forget to bring along their water pumps as toys. Within fifteen minutes, many commoners were working with the fire brigade to collect water.
The Winged Knights who were camping outside heard the noise as well. They didn't move. Only the scouts came and went as usual.
"Li Dongzhu, there's a fire in the county government's storehouse." Guo Ziyi came to the ambulance and knocked on the door.
"I know. It's man-made. Why else would it happen at this time? The person who did this is stupid."
Li Yi's voice could be heard from inside. After some time, he opened the door and got out.
He was wearing chainmail and a helmet that covered his entire head.
There was a gap in the helmet and a chainmail around his neck.
He asked someone to send the old lady back to Zhuangzi. She didn't take off her clothes when she went to bed.
"You're Dongzhu. You're right." Guo Ziyi wasn't worried anymore.
The night before they left, Li Yi found him alone and told him about the situation.
He told him to send more men to the children's side. He didn't need a lot of men. If he was attacked, they couldn't come and save him.
At that time, he was puzzled and asked Li Yi, "Someone wants to harm you? Then why are you still taking care of the children? "
Li Yi replied, "I have to come out. The children need to play. If I don't come, it will be more dangerous. If someone hides in the dark, should I just hide?"
Now it seemed that this was indeed the case. If you lure the snake out, you can only be a thief for a thousand days. How can you be on guard for a thousand days?
"Officer Guo, pack up. We're going up the mountain." Li Yi looked at the night sky.
"Now?" Guo Ziyi was surprised.
"Yes. Now, the ambulance is at the foot of the mountain. Stop there. We'll go up and send a few more men to guard the car."
Li Yi said and went into the car to change his clothes. He didn't wear the chainmail anymore. He changed into a field combat uniform.
The car started and ran towards the foot of the mountain. When they arrived, Guo Ziyi led 20 men and accompanied Li Yi up the mountain.
He held the night vision goggles while the others held the lanterns.
Li Yi was holding something that the Winged Knights had never seen before. It was a short spear. There was no point in the front.
It was a stick handle, a bracket, and other extra things.
The key was that there was a hole in the front where the head should be. There was a 'mirror' on top of the hole.
"Sako TRG. This gun has a good magazine and is not very heavy. The key is that it is accurate at a distance of 100 feet."
Li Yi told Guo Ziyi what kind of gun he was holding. There were many of these guns in Russia. They could shoot whenever they wanted.
As for the Barrett, Li Yi felt that it was not suitable for him. It had a strong recoil and was heavy.
What was the use of being able to shoot over 2000 meters? Who could equip a ballista to fight him on the mountain?
The Sako TRG in his hand was very useful within a range of 100 feet.
"100 feet? Where to load it? Can it kill people? "
Guo Ziyi had never heard of such a ridiculous name before. He was doubtful of this thing.
"Whether I can kill people or not depends on whether there is someone to shoot for me.
This time, I won't take captives, mine, or kill people. People will think that I'm kind. "
Li Yi decided to find a chance to kill a few people and bring them back for practice. There was no psychological burden.
The team moved forward. Li Yi was protected in the middle. The others used the light of the lanterns to look at the weapon in his hand from time to time.
Everyone was very curious. What kind of weapon could easily shoot a distance of 100 feet?
They didn't know that this gun was still within its effective range.
Li Yi had a smile on his face. He sneered.
He had made up his mind. His lifespan could be increased. If there was something good to use, why not use it?
The feeling of being stared at in the dark was not good. He didn't even eat breakfast before starting the fire.
His original plan was to go up the mountain after dawn and let the enemies who might be hiding in the dark find and follow him.
Since the other party took the initiative, he would give them a chance.
