Chapter 33 Swan Lake

"Husband, please go forward. Look, there are guards ahead. That is the road for transporting food." Liu Qingqing pointed in one direction and shouted.

Ye Fusheng looked happy and pedaled the bicycle hurriedly.

"Husband, please slow down." Liu Qingqing hugged Ye Fusheng's waist tightly and shouted.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Our road is so bumpy." Liu Qingqing whispered.

"If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Our dirt road really needs to be repaired. Now that we are out, should we keep going west?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"Yes, once you pass through the woods ahead, you will be in Dadianzi." Liu Qingqing replied.

"This forest is really nice. Is it illegal to log wood?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"You are not allowed to cut wood casually, but no one is in charge. Everyone needs wood to build houses, so they secretly go out to cut wood at night." Liu Qingqing replied.

"That's what I thought. We still need wood for the roof. It seems we have to get some back." Ye Fusheng said in a low voice.

"I heard that the wood was very wet and it would take a lot of people to pull it back." Liu Qingqing replied.

"I know this, but is it okay to chop it up and dry it here?" Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Definitely not." Liu Qingqing replied.

"But I only have a stupid friend like Shi Xingzhou, so what can I do?" Ye Fusheng scratched his head.

"Then it's impossible. You two want to lift it into the car...it's very difficult. Look at this big tree. Each root is as thick as two people hugging each other." Liu Qingqing stretched out her arms to describe.

"Let's talk about this later! It's just a tree, there are ways to transport it home." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Husband, this forest is so beautiful. How about planting a willow tree in my house?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"Okay, let's plant some fruit trees. Anyway, our place is big, 150 meters. It only takes 50 meters to build a house. The rest is the courtyard." Ye Fusheng replied.

"what……!"

Liu Qingqing suddenly screamed.

Ye Fusheng trembled with fright and hurriedly stopped on the bicycle path: "What's wrong, Qing Qing?"

"There are dead people, there are dead people." Liu Qingqing pointed in one direction.

"Dead people?" Ye Fusheng looked up and saw two people lying on the tree with sunken eyes. They were indeed dead. He walked over slowly. They were two women. They seemed to have starved to death!
"Husband, let's go quickly? It's scary to see two dead people." Liu Qingqing covered her eyes and shouted.

"Okay, let's go." Ye Fusheng was not in the mood to collect the bodies, so he rode towards Dadianzi.

"Husband, how did those two people die?" Liu Qingqing asked in a low voice.

"Look, you were scared to death just now, and now you're asking again." Ye Fusheng replied.

"Aren't I curious?" Liu Qingqing muttered.

"They probably died of starvation. There are no wounds on the surface. These two people are as skinny as firewood. Even if they didn't die of starvation, they died of illness." Ye Fusheng said softly.

"How pitiful! I don't know what to do with these [-] refugees!" Liu Qingqing said sentimentally.

"I plan to hire some maids." Ye Fusheng said softly.

"We don't have a place to live, so where can we hire maids to stay? And I don't have any work for them to do!" Liu Qingqing asked doubtfully.

"The barbecue restaurant will be needed in the future. We want to make the barbecue restaurant bigger and more popular, and we will definitely need manpower by then." Ye Fusheng replied.

"But the barbecue restaurant doesn't know what year it is. Is it too early to find someone now?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"It's not a matter of sooner or later. Won't it cost money to hire people in the future? Now these people can stutter. What a bargain." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Uh...! Husband, you..." Liu Qingqing said in surprise.

"What's wrong with me? Am I bad?" Ye Fusheng laughed.

"No, you are so smart." Liu Qingqing chuckled.

Ye Fusheng talked eloquently:
"I'm saving them. They have no fixed place to live, and it's unclear whether they'll be alive tomorrow. I'm not only in charge of food and care, but when they find someone they like, I'll also prepare a dowry to marry them off in a glorious way. You Tell me if I’m doing a good deed?”

"It seems to make sense. How many people do you plan to hire, husband?" Liu Qingqing asked.

"Ten to 20 people, it depends on the situation." Ye Fusheng replied.

"Why don't you hire some men? Recruiting some servants can help you with the physical work. Don't you want to get some big trees? It's just the right time to help." Liu Qingqing said.

"How many normal men do you think there are? They are either bullies and bandits, or they are old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if I don't want them, I can't lead wolves into the house." Ye Fusheng replied calmly.

"Luring the wolf into the house? Are you afraid that they will rob you or that it will be detrimental to us? Liu Qingqing asked doubtfully."

"All of them!" Ye Fusheng said with a smile. In his previous life, he had watched a lot of TV, where servants had sex with maids, and servants had sex with young ladies. This kind of thing has been eliminated from the ground up.

"We're out of the woods, husband, look, that's the Swan Lake." Liu Qingqing said excitedly.

Ye Fusheng stopped his bicycle. Next to the woods was a grassland with flocks of cattle and sheep. In the distance was the Swan Lake, but there were so many reeds in this Swan Lake!
"There is a small boat in the lake, is it for fishing?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"It must be. Husband, look at the black spots flying in the sky. They are wild ducks and geese." Liu Qingqing pointed to the sky.

"Really? So many?" Ye Fusheng squinted and stared for a long time. The distance was too far.

"Yes, I have been here before. Husband, please ride down the right side and you will be there soon." Liu Qingqing pointed to a road that was not a road.

"You're done." Ye Fusheng rode down slowly. There were many caves along the way, which must have been made by rabbits. The entire Dadianzi was devastated by rabbits.

"Look, husband, there are a lot of rabbits. Grandpa often took me to hunt rabbits." Liu Qingqing shouted happily.

"There are so many rabbits here, how come there's no one hunting them in this big land?" Ye Fusheng asked doubtfully. "Why is no one hunting? Rabbits reproduce at an extremely fast rate. If we hunt eight out of ten rabbits, it will only be drizzle." Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

"Why didn't I see pigeons or turtle doves?" Ye Fusheng said as he looked around.

"Oh, I forgot. Stop the car behind you," Liu Qingqing said.

Ye Fusheng stopped his bicycle and looked back for a long time. There were many pigeons circling in an open space.

"Husband, shall we take a look when we get back? The distance is too far." Liu Qingqing said.

"Well, let's go see the wild geese first. The wild geese cost three yuan per pound. How much do they cost?" Ye Fusheng asked expectantly.

"It's also three yuan a pound. There is no difference between wild geese and geese." Liu Qingqing replied.

"How can there be no difference? Geese are wild animals. They are fat and strong. How can they compare to each other?" Ye Fusheng exclaimed.

"But the geese need to eat food, and the geese have no cost." Liu Qingqing replied.

"Uh! There's nothing wrong with saying that. Raising geese requires manpower and material resources. If you can catch geese, you're guaranteed to make a profit, so the prices are the same and reasonable." Ye Fusheng analyzed.

"Husband, follow the fork in the road and turn down. You'll be there in 10 minutes by bike. We still have to walk for a while. The ground near the lake is soft, so we can't ride." Liu Qingqing explained.

"Understood, you can see clearly now. There are many birds hovering in the sky." Ye Fusheng sighed.

"boom."

A roar came from the lakeside, causing countless birds to fly up in fright. This was an eye-opener for Ye Fusheng. This was a flood.

"Husband, someone is hunting, but the sound of gunshots is far away from us." Liu Qingqing said.

"We will also hunt some wild geese later, and tonight we will stew the wild geese in an iron pot." Ye Fusheng said with a smile.

"Husband, the wild geese are quite fat. They usually weigh about fifteen pounds. One of them is enough for our whole family to have a full meal." Liu Qingqing chirped.

"Are you still greedy?" Ye Fusheng laughed.

"Who is not greedy? Our family eats meat every day. No other family can afford it." Liu Qingqing said happily.

"There are game everywhere in the mountains and rivers. If you're hungry, you can hunt it down. Why can't you eat it?" Ye Fusheng asked doubtfully.

"How many people know how to hunt? Those who know how to hunt have all gone to the army. Now there is only one male in the family, or there is an old father or grandfather. They are all old. How can they travel across mountains and rivers?" Liu Qingqing replied.

"There's nothing wrong with saying that!" Ye Fusheng nodded.

"Husband, please be careful. If you are attacked by a poisonous snake, you will be in trouble." Liu Qingqing said solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll use the Miao Dao to open a path in front of me later, and I'll scare it off first." Ye Fusheng said confidently.

"We're here. We can't ride anymore, so let's just leave the bikes here." Liu Qingqing shouted.

"Is this reed marsh too big?" Ye Fusheng frowned. Standing on the edge, he couldn't even see what the lake looked like. It was all reeds.

"It's very big. Every time the water rises, these reeds will extend outward, and they are not dead. As long as there is a place where the reeds grow, they will grow every year." Liu Qingqing said.

"Qingqing, follow me closely. Let's walk through the reeds and look at the lake." Ye Fusheng said.

"Yeah, husband, please slow down." Liu Qingqing nodded.

Ye Fusheng held the seedling knife in front of him, tapping the reeds as he walked. The newly grown reeds and the dead reeds from last year were very dense. The height of about three meters made it difficult to see ten meters.

There are also bird droppings in the reeds. Occasionally mice run by, and sometimes birds fly out of the weeds. There are not only reeds here, but also abundant aquatic plants.

"Husband, husband, look, are those wild duck eggs?" Liu Qingqing pulled Ye Fusheng and shouted.

"Uh, where is it?" Ye Fusheng followed Liu Qingqing's hand and looked over, it seemed like it was true?April and May are the egg-laying season for wild ducks.

Ye Fusheng walked over slowly. It was really a nest of wild duck eggs. It was still warm after touching it.

"How to get it back? I just brought a rope!" Ye Fusheng said helplessly.

"It would be a pity not to take it back! I'm wearing two pieces of clothing, so I'll use my short-sleeved shirt." Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth.

"You've lost all your money now!" Ye Fusheng grinned.

"Husband, cut off some rope and tie the cuffs and collar." Liu Qingqing said.

"Okay, put on your clothes. The reeds here are very sharp. Don't get scratched." Ye Fusheng whispered.

"Don't worry, husband, I used to come here often with grandpa." Liu Qingqing patted her chest and said.

"Be gentle, don't slap it off." Ye Fusheng said with a sideways glance.

"What dropped?" Liu Qingqing looked down, then her face turned red.

"Let's go, pretend." Ye Fusheng smiled and continued walking forward.

"Husband, look, husband." Liu Qingqing whispered before walking a few dozen steps.

"Is this a group of wild geese?" Ye Fusheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is this Liu Qingqing Wangfu?"You can see everything.

"A large group of wild geese, do you want to fight?" Liu Qingqing whispered.

"We must shoot." Ye Fusheng pulled out the shotgun from his back and loaded two bullets. He had seen a video of shooting wild geese before, and he could shoot them while flying in the sky.

"Husband, you can go forward, the geese haven't noticed us." Liu Qingqing said.

"Qingqing, don't move here, I have to get closer." Ye Fusheng whispered.

"You go, you go." Liu Qingqing's big eyes blinked, as if she was very interested in hunting.
