Chapter 5: Excited Little Buddies

  Yang Wei discovered that his strength had increased, which was quite normal. Since he could cross over, he needed to bring benefits with him. Without space or special functions, he naturally needed to have strength, which was the treasure of crossing over.

  Two boxes, six little friends couldn't lift them, but Yang Wei easily carried them back. In order not to let people discover that they had discovered the treasure, although they still didn't know what these things were used for.

  But Yang Wei still arranged for the little friends to dismantle this house, so that the beams and joists could all be dismantled, and the hole would naturally be concealed. Next year, this pit would melt into a muddy mess in the snow water, and no one would find out that there was another pit here.

  Especially these two boxes need to be placed in Yang Wei's home, but there is no place inside the cellar, so they can only be placed outside. Yang Wei's idea was to put the boxes in the west room and then pile up the dismantled wood on top of them, that's it.

  In this way, the dog left their house in a mess, with all the wood, rotten grass, and even window frames taken away. Now, not a single blade of grass can be found here. However, I guess the villagers won't have any opinion on this matter, as it has cleared out a piece of land for the village. The lumber and other materials are still there, leaning against the mountain, nothing is missing.

  Yang Wei came to this world and spent the day in a flurry of activity, he didn't even have time to think about what reason made him cross over, but being busy also has its advantages, soon night fell, and the day was almost over.

  Dinner was still bird meat, and when Yang Wei led people to dismantle the house, Xiaolian took a few people to catch birds again. Looking at this situation, it can guarantee a meal for a while, which shows how many birds there are in this era. However, small birds alone are not enough to eat, as they are too small, and there are still many wild chickens inside, which is the heavyweight guarantee.

  "Wow, great! We can eat meat every day!" "Yes, Wei Zi, how did you think of this way to catch birds?" "Hehe, my mom taught me. She once told me a story about a person named Lu Xun who caught birds on a snowy day."

  "Wow, Big Brother, Auntie was so cultured, but where did she go?" Yingzi suddenly asked with big eyes, looking at Yang Wei. She only now realized that she hadn't seen Yang's mother in the past few days. She didn't know what death meant, but the other kids did. When Yingzi asked this question, all her little friends fell silent. How could such a great aunt pass away?

  Even the few girls started crying, perhaps it was the original soul in this body that was playing tricks on them. Yang Wei's eyes also turned red at this time. "Alright, alright, companions, my mother in heaven doesn't want to see us like this either. Let's cheer up and live a life worth showing to the villagers, and not disappoint my mother's expectations."

  "Well, we must live a good life and let Auntie in heaven watch over us well." This is the heartfelt words of the young companion, and also a vow to his mother, that is to live a good life. Since heaven has brought me to this era, I will even more so take care of my companions and live on.

  Yang Wei secretly made a vow in his heart.

  It's night, and Yang Wei also needs to think carefully about his future life, as well as how to spend it.

  "Friends, friends, now I'll arrange something for everyone." "Wei Zi, what arrangement? We've already slept, what else is there to arrange?"

  "I asked you, in your relatives' homes, do the adults get up every night to add firewood to the stove, because this firewood is not allowed to be burned out, if we don't make arrangements, it's likely that we'll freeze until dawn."

  "Alright, Wei Zi, we'll listen to you. How do you want us to arrange it?" "Okay, this one stove pit can burn for an hour with a full load of firewood. We'll arrange it so that every two people take turns on duty, adding firewood to the two stove pits. When the firewood in these two stove pits is burned out, you call the next pair of people on duty to come and tend to the stoves. However, Ying Zi and Xiao Shan don't need to get up."

  "Wei Gege, we also want to be on duty, we also want to be on duty." Yingzi thought this was a fun thing and naturally asked to be on duty too. However, these two kids were too small, it's really not reassuring to let them get up, "Okay okay, you two just follow Wei Gege to be on duty, is that alright?"

  "Ah, okay, ah okay, Yingzi can also be on duty now."

  Taking turns to watch the stove, this is also an unavoidable thing. The house has drafts on all four sides, especially around the windows and doors, which are all drafty places. Once the flame goes out, the temperature in the room will immediately drop. So there's no choice but to let these little friends take turns watching the stove. However, Yang Wei doesn't think much of these people. After all, they're still at an age where they like to play around and it's possible that they might fall asleep. But Yang Wei needs to be more careful himself, his body is also that of a child and naturally needs rest.

  There's still one thing that hasn't been made clear, which is that there are many little buddies, but not many quilts, so they can only rely on the flames of the fire to keep warm. More than a dozen children just filled up a kang, and didn't even have any distinction between boys and girls. The children of this era really know too little. If it were in Yang Wei's past life, such big girls would have long been asking for their own separate rooms to sleep in.

  The little buddies all fell asleep, and the room immediately became quiet. However, Yang Wei couldn't sleep at this time. The events of this day were like a dream, crossing over, actually crossing over. Not even giving him a chance to sigh in amazement, let alone shout out loud complaints to heaven like everyone who crosses over does: "Heavens! Earth! I've actually crossed over!" Yang Wei could only put these thoughts in his heart for now. This didn't even give him time to doubt it; the chill outside, the innocence of his buddies and so on all proved that this was indeed a world with flesh and blood.

  The bowl in his hand was like an octopus, and he muttered to himself from time to time, "Wei Gege, meat, delicious, we want to catch many little birds, eat meat." Maybe these children have lived for so many years without eating meat even once.

  "Gou Sheng, how do you think Wei Zi learned this method of catching birds?" "Stupid, my aunt once said that when parents pass away, the children naturally become adults. She even let me find food to eat on my own, but I just didn't feel like I grew up. I reckon Wei Zi must have really grown up."

  These are the words of two children outside, and they indeed have some suspicions about Yang Wei. But how much can little kids suspect? The person is still the same, but their soul has changed. Can they wait? Time-travel!
