Traveling through ancient times to flee from famine, take the time and space gate with you

Compared with Fang Youwei's family's life here, which was like an outing, the people in Fangjia Village had a different scene.

Also on a small hillside, Fang Yunping, the village chief of Fangjia Village and the head of the Fang family, looked at the flooded village in the distance with only roofs left, and let out a long sigh.

Their Fangjia Village was probably even more completely flooded than this.

Although everyone was fine because he escaped quickly, all the belongings he had worked hard to save for decades were gone.

Looking at his own people, sitting or lying down, each one lamenting and sighing, it was a mist.

Fang Yunping was also confused and didn't know where to go next.

The place where they are staying now is a slope surrounded by water.

Opposite the water is a hill, with a large mountain behind it. They dare not go up the mountain for fear of encountering wild animals, so they can only settle on this slope like an isolated island.

Each family didn't bring much food, and since there was no way to replenish it, they were now saving on food and only eating one meal a day.

But even this can't last for many days.

"Second uncle, we don't have much firewood. All the small trees on this slope have been cut down and all the branches have been picked up. It's only enough to burn for two days." Fang Youcai came over and said.

Fang Yunping looked around, pointed to the narrowest part of the water and said: "Organize twenty young men, preferably those who know how to swim, to chop firewood in the woods opposite and transport it back on wooden boards."

Hearing this, Fang Youcai nodded, turned around and went to gather people.

Fang Youcai is Fang Yunping's nephew and the eldest son of his eldest brother Fang Yunhe. He usually does things safely, and Fang Yunping also intends to cultivate him to become the next clan leader.

Fang Yunping's two sons did not want to stay in the village, so they both went to work in the county. They don't know what happened to them now.

After a while, twenty young men were gathered together. They prepared the planks to be used, tied the axes firmly to their waists, and pushed the planks into the water with long bamboo poles.

The water surface is not wide, only forty or fifty feet, but the depth is as deep as one person, which is still quite dangerous for people who don't know how to swim.

Twenty people and five wooden boards. A long rope is tied to both ends of the board, leaving one end of the rope here.

After a few rows, they reached the other side. They put the planks on the water's edge and went to look at dry branches or small trees in the forest.

When you have cut enough wood to load it, pull the rope on one side to pull the board back, and then pull it back on the other side after removing the branches. This saves time and effort.

When the sun was about to go down and a lot of firewood had been cut, Fang Yunping shouted to them to come back. After waiting for a long time, he saw a group of people walking out of the forest dejectedly.

When the others paddled the board back to the slope, Fang Yunping asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ghostly?"

I saw twenty people, all with gray faces, half of their hair torn down, and their clothes were scratched. They looked like they had just been in a group fight, and their noses and faces were bruised and swollen.

A group of people looked at each other, and one of them said: "When we were chopping firewood, we saw pheasants and rabbits a few times, and we thought we would catch them after we chopped them. As a result, there were so many of us, but we didn't catch any of them!"

"

After saying that, he wiped his face with his hands in frustration.

Fang Youcai sighed and said, "It would be great if Youwei were here. He is the only one in our village who knows how to hunt. If he were here, he would definitely be able to catch a few."

A young man knocked on his head and said in annoyance: "Brother Wei taught me how to set a trap at that time. I thought it was fun at the time and never tried it. Now I have forgotten it..."

Seeing everyone sighing, Fang Yunping said quickly: "Okay, okay, now move the wooden boards over there, poke them up and dry them out, good luck. If you think about it slowly, you may suddenly remember it."

Fang Yunping was also a little worried about Fang Youwei's family. They were clearly following behind them, but they got separated for some reason...
