After dinner, everyone was supposed to wash and rest, but the village bell rang to ask them to work overtime overnight.

Shen He was sore all over, and he got up from the kang with everyone else, holding a sickle and preparing to go to the field. A group of people were mumbling and complaining, but they finally shut up when they smelled the rain in the air in the yard.

It looks like it will rain again tonight. It's okay for the crops that haven't been harvested, but there are still many crops that have been harvested in the fields, so they have to be transported back overnight.

Huo Xinghua followed Shen He, hesitated for several times and finally spoke: "Shen He, don't go. There is not much wheat in the field. There are so many people, you are not a big deal."

No centimeters are paid for overtime work at night. You are weak to begin with, why do you work for others for free! Even if you want to be independent, you don't have to work so hard.

Xiao Yajuan on the side secretly complained: There is not much wheat in the field? Huo Xinghua, you can really lie with your eyes open. The weather is good today, and those with experience say that it should not rain for two or three days. The teams piled the wheat in the field, thinking that they would go to thresh it after a sunny day. All the harvested today is in the field, how can there not be much?

Shen He knew that the other party had good intentions, so he turned around and smiled at him, "It's okay, do what you can. I know my own strength, and I won't work myself to death."

"Oh. Then take it easy, don't tire yourself out."

The lights flickered in the fields, there were flashlights and lanterns, and the lights were like stars falling from the sky. But everyone didn't have the leisure to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Some were carrying piles, some were twisting ropes, and those who had experience in tying wheat tied them up. The strong men carried wheat on their pointed poles and walked carefully into the village in the dark.

Girls like Shen He could only carry piles. It is a technical job to tie wheat with ropes. If any link is not done well, it will be troublesome if it falls apart on the road.

Secretary Hu Xiaoshan looked up at the sky angrily, and was so anxious that he wanted to hire a kid to help him. The leader of the fourth team kept twisting the ropes and comforted him.

"It only takes two hours, two hours, we can take all the wheat home. Don't worry too much, you are so anxious that your mouth is full of blisters."

"How can I not be anxious? This is the fruit of a year's labor. If it gets wet by rain, all our year's labor will be in vain."

The secretary turned around and said, "I'll go to the sixth team to take a look. I'll leave this place to you."

As he spoke, the secretary's figure was far away. Wei Gousheng shouted, "Don't worry, I will try to collect the wheat before the rain comes."

The animals in the team were also pulled in, and people carried the wheat in bundles to the field. Two people stood next to the carriage, responsible for compacting the wheat stacks and stacking them neatly on the cart.

Shen He held a bundle of wheat and heard the neighing of the red horse from a distance. In other people's ears, it was "hiss, hiss..."

But she heard a loud cry of pain. "My tongue hurts, don't strangle me, it hurts."

Subconsciously, she looked around. Was she hallucinating? Looking at Xiao Yajuan in front of her, her heart began to beat wildly.

She has been struggling in the apocalypse for more than ten years. When she first followed the base, she also killed zombies. Later, when the base was attacked, she also participated in the battle. She has seen and heard many supernatural powers. But it is really rare to understand animal language.
