I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Chapter 24 If you don't agree, then do it

As soon as Li Lan walked into the yard, Zhang came out to greet him.

"My daughter, I have already altered the clothes you asked me to alter."

Li Lan's eyes lit up.

"So fast, Mom, you're amazing."

"Altering clothes is not like making clothes. This is quick. Come in and try it on."

"Okay, mother."

Li Lan ran into the house happily. He picked up the clothes on the kang and unfolded them. He found a light green coarse cloth suit. He picked up the clothes and put them on.

"This dress is really comfortable. It's really inconvenient to always wear a skirt into the mountains." She put on the new clothes, strode forward a few steps, then turned around on the spot, the last POS, and ended.

After dinner, everyone sat at the table and no one was in a hurry to go back to the house.

"Girl, when you, your father, and your uncle go into the mountains tomorrow, you must be careful. Run away when you see wild animals. Don't try to be brave, okay?" Mrs. Wang said worriedly.

Li Lan looked at Grandma Wang, who was full of worry, and comforted her, "Grandma, it's okay, don't worry. We will be back tomorrow after we finish digging bamboo shoots."

In fact, Zhang was also worried about her daughter and husband, but she believed more in her daughter and believed that she could bring everyone back to the village safely.

Everyone sat for a while, and everyone knew that Li Lan and his friends were going into the mountains tomorrow, so they didn't dare to say too much and dispersed.

"Sister, you must be careful when you go into the mountains tomorrow."

"Yeah, remember what grandma said, don't try to show off."

Li Hang and Li Run each held Li Lan's hand and said.

Li Lan looked at their wrinkled faces and resisted the urge to rub them with his hands.

"It's okay, you still don't believe me. Come back to your room and sleep with daddy."

Large room.

"Master, tomorrow you go into the mountains and follow the older girl closely. She's very strong and can take the lead in any situation. What do you think of her..."

Before Wang could finish her words, she was interrupted by a scolding from Li Chunlei, who was lying with his eyes closed.

"What do you mean by she's strong and pushing forward? Is that even human language?"

Upon hearing this, Wang was unhappy. She sat up and shouted, "Why am I not speaking human language? I'm worried about you, too. The eldest girl is strong, so I asked her to hold the front. What's wrong with that? Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Besides, if that girl hadn't been willing to tell the villagers that there were bamboo shoots in the mountains, would it be necessary to take so many people to take risks? It would have been much easier to dig them up and eat them at home, but they insisted on being good and generous people." He said in a complaining tone.

"You bitch..." He raised his hand to slap Wang.

When Wang saw Li Chunlei was about to slap her, she immediately slapped her thigh and cried, "I can't live like this anymore. I was worried that you were wrong and you were going to hit me. Go ahead and hit me to death."

"Howl, if you like to howl, go back to your Wang family and howl. Life has just started to get by and you start to act like a troublemaker. If you don't want to live like that, then don't." Mrs. Wang walked out of the house and started cursing at the door of the main house.

In the main room, Wang Shi didn't dare cry anymore and slowly lay back down. Li Chunlei turned over and left her with his back.

Three bedrooms.

"What's wrong with my sister-in-law these days? It seems like she looks down on everyone." Chen said.

Li Chunsheng sneered. "It's because he saw that the eldest girl made so much money that he became interested," he said disdainfully.

"How much silver did this girl have left after buying all those things last time?"

"I guess it's more than 200 taels."

"So much. No wonder. But this girl is getting cocky, thinking she's making a lot of money, and telling the villagers about this life-saving food." Chen curled her lips and complained. She thought to herself: I was thinking of going with you to dig more next time and send some back to my parents' home. Now, there's nothing left.

Li Chunsheng heard it, but he didn't refute it. He just replied calmly.

"Never mind it, just go to sleep."

There was no sound coming from the main room.

Zhang curled her lips, "She's so ungrateful. I used to think she was a good person, but I didn't expect she would gossip about my daughter."

Li Lan didn't care, as he didn't have any feelings for it anyway.

"It's okay, Mom. Don't worry about her."

Zhang snorted and said nothing more.

The next day at Mao hour.

The open space at the end of the village was filled with villagers, some who were going and some who were not.

"Laizi, you must be more careful. There are wild beasts in the deep mountains. Follow the eldest girl of the Li family more closely." Mrs. Zhu and Old Man Li looked at Li Laizi worriedly.

"I know, mother," Li Laizi said nonchalantly. He thought to himself, "What can a little girl like her do? If she wasn't desperate for food at home and was curious about the bamboo shoots the village chief mentioned, she wouldn't have gone."

Old Lady Zhu wiped her tears and turned to Liu Xiaohua, who was standing next to her with her head lowered, and said viciously, "And you, take better care of the beggar, okay? If anything happens to the beggar, I'll skin you alive."

After hearing her words, Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but tremble. She hugged the two girls on both sides of her and whispered, "I know, mother."

……

"Everyone, be quiet. Those who are preparing to go into the mountains should stand to the north." The village chief shouted.

Soon, a team of 55 people stood in formation on the north side. Each of them held a hoe and carried a large basket with a hatchet on his back. The Li Tianhu brothers also carried a bow.

Li Lan looked at the 55 people, immediately walked over, and shouted, "Six team leaders, step out now. Lead the people from each of your teams and line up."

When the six heard this, they quickly went to the team to find the people they had chosen yesterday. Then they repeated Li Lan's request to the team members.

"Li Chunping, Li Chunlei, Li Laizi, Liu Xiaohua, and Chen Guafu, come here." Li Lan shouted to the team.

After a while, several teams were in place.

"Our team will lead the way in front, and your team, Li Tianhu, will go last." Li Lan ordered.

"Okay, Captain." Li Tianhu responded immediately.

Amid the worries and reluctance of their loved ones, the group set off towards the depths of the Western Mountains.

An hour and a half later.

"Xiaobao, is there any unusual movement within 1 kilometer?"

"No, host, just go inside with peace of mind."

Li Lan's tense heart felt a little relieved.

"Why haven't we arrived yet? We've been walking for an hour." Li Laizi, who was walking with the support of Liu Xiaohua, complained.

Li Lan stopped, turned around, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

Li Laizi couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Li Lan's eyes. After a pause, he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not wrong. We've been walking for so long and still haven't arrived. Are you deliberately taking us on a detour?"

"Laoyid, what do you mean? My daughter brought you here with good intentions to dig bamboo shoots and find food. You said my daughter took you on a detour. You are looking for death." Li Chunping said as he was about to step forward and punch him.

"Dad, don't be angry." Li Lan stopped Li Chunping's fist and said with a smile.

"I think what Laizi said is right. This girl has a very evil heart. Who knows if she is planning to do something bad." Widow Chen sneered.

Old man Li looked at them like this and said "Pooh" angrily.

"You two are such heartless bastards! People took pity on the villagers and brought everyone here to find food, and yet you say that to them. How shameless of you!"

"Hey, old man Li, don't try to be a good person here. No wonder you only have a little grandson left in your family." Widow Chen raised her voice and said sarcastically.

"what…"

With a scream and a "bang", Widow Chen was grabbed by the collar of her clothes by Li Lan, lifted up and thrown against the tree next to her.

"What? Are you so impatient to seek death?" Li Lan's cold voice sounded.

Li Laizi was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, breathing rapidly.

"Put me down, put me down quickly. I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again." Widow Chen, who was held in the air, cried out in fear.

The people behind shrank back when they saw the scene in front of them. They all thought in tacit understanding: Don't mess with Li Lan, this girl is too tough.

"Host, be careful, there is a large wild beast approaching 1000 meters to the south." Xiaobao's voice suddenly sounded.

Li Lan threw Widow Chen to the ground and asked with his consciousness.

"Xiaobao, what animal is it?"

"It's a wolf pack, host. There are 30 wolves in total."

"Damn, what bad luck!" Li Lan spat on the ground. He shouted back, "Everyone, be on alert. Strong men, stand outside in a circle. The elderly, weak, women, and children, stay inside."

When everyone heard what Li Lan said, they all gathered together in fear.

Li Lan saw the crowd gathering in the middle, rolling his eyes and shouting, "Do you want to earn some money and eat some meat?"

"I think about it, even in my dreams." Li Tianhu said.

"Yes I do."

"Yes, Captain."

Everyone said with bright eyes.

"Okay, since you want it, then the beasts ahead are our money and our meat. In this disaster year, disasters and opportunities coexist, it's either you die or I live. Since God has given us money and meat, it depends on whether you are willing to be a hero. Anyone, come with me to kill the beasts." Li Lan said in a deep voice.

The crowd was silent.

"I, the captain." Brother Li Tianhu stood up.

"We." Brother Li Jianping

"And us, Captain." Brother Zhou Xiaoshu

"My daughter, and me"

"My niece, and me."

"I'm going too, Captain," Li Dali stood up

……

In this way, 20 people came forward one after another.

"Alright, twenty of you follow me. The rest of you, stand in formation. Brother Li Yun and Uncle Jianping will stay here and take charge. If anyone refuses, I'll beat them until they obey," Li Lan said sternly. He then glanced fiercely at Widow Chen and Li Laizi, causing them to shrink back in fear.

"Okay, Miss Lan." The two replied in unison.

"Grab your weapons and let's go." Li Lan took the lead and ran forward.

"Host, we are still 200 meters away from the wolf pack."

Li Lan stopped and raised his right hand. The people following him also stopped.

"The beasts we encountered were wolves, 30 in total. The big guys need to be prepared. They're coming."

When everyone heard there were 30 wolves, they didn't know if what Li Lan had just said had worked. No one was afraid, and everyone even had an excited look on their faces.

Li Lan looked at this group of people and praised their courage in his heart. They were really great.

Soon, the wolves appeared in their sight. A nimble gray leader stood in front, followed by more than 20 wolves. They stopped 30 meters away from Li Lan and his group. The leader looked at Li Lan and his group, pacing back and forth, baring his teeth and growling.

Li Lan gripped the crossbow tightly, ready to fire. A slight sweat broke out on his forehead. It was impossible to say he wasn't nervous or afraid. But there was nothing he could do. With his mind blank, he just went for it.

With a roar from the leader, the rest of the wolves rushed towards the group. Li Lan fired six arrows, each one a fatal blow, killing all six wolves in one go. The others also took up their weapons and engaged the wolves.

Brothers Li Tianhu and Li Jianping worked in perfect harmony, one attracting the wolf's attention while the other took advantage of the opportunity to attack its weak spot. Brother Zhou Xiaoshu, on the other hand, took advantage of the surrounding environment to cleverly avoid the wolf's attacks.

However, the wolves were so numerous that the crowd gradually felt overwhelmed. Just then, Li Dali shouted, "Everyone, move closer and form a circle!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered together and surrounded the wolves.

The encirclement continued to shrink, and the wolves' space became increasingly limited. Seizing the opportunity, Li Lan summoned a hatchet from the storage room and struck the leader, sending him sprawling to the ground. Seeing this, the remaining wolves lost their will to fight and attempted to flee, but were intercepted and killed by Li Lan and the others.

The big guy looked at the 30 wolves lying on the ground and cheered happily. The big guy picked up the wolves on the ground and walked back.

Hearing the rustling noise, everyone on standby stood up straight, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and was very nervous.

After a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Lan and his group emerging from the woods. Then, they gasped when they saw the wolf they were carrying.

"Oh my goodness, there are so many wolves. You are so powerful." Li Jianan exclaimed.

When everyone saw so many wolves and thought about the silver and meat that Li Lan mentioned, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Uncle Jian'an, take 15 people with you and bring these 30 wolves down the mountain first. So as not to attract other large animals." Li Lan ordered.

Li Jianan thought about it and agreed. He then took 15 strong men and carried the 30 wolves down the mountain.

Li Lan watched Li Jianan and his group leave and said to the others, "The rest of you, let's speed up. We'll reach the bamboo forest in about half an hour."

"Yes, Captain." The voices were clear and loud.
