Chapter 290: Notify the team that there is a bear on the mountain
After hearing what Accountant Li said, the captain's expression became more serious.
He immediately said to Accountant Li, "Old Li, quickly notify the team leaders and have them gather all the villagers at the threshing ground. We can't waste a moment on this matter; everyone must be notified immediately!"
Accountant Li nodded in agreement, put down the farm tools in his hands, and walked out of the warehouse quickly.
The team leader no longer cared about Shen Nian at this time. He hurried back to the office, grabbed the loudspeaker on the table, and walked quickly to the threshing ground.
Seeing this, Shen Nian followed.
In the threshing ground, villagers gathered one after another, complaining that they were called to gather right after work, and they didn't know what the team leader wanted to do.
When they saw the team leader with a serious expression, a loud speaker in his hand, and Shen Zhiqing standing next to him, they began to speculate what had happened.
"We just got home from work and haven't even had time to sit down yet! Why did you call us here again?" An aunt couldn't help but ask, her tone full of complaints.
Aunt Li glanced at her, nodded slightly in Shen Nian's direction, and whispered, "Could it be that there's something wrong with Shen Zhiqing's chicken farm again?"
Aunt Li's words immediately attracted the attention of several aunts around her. They all glanced at Shen Nian and whispered about whether something strange had happened in Shen Nian's chicken farm again.
"That shouldn't be the case. Ever since the incident with those two chicken thieves, the chicken farm has been quite peaceful." An aunt muttered softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
"You never know. What if there's someone brave enough not to be afraid of dogs? Maybe her dog was captured..."
Aunt Li frowned and said this, but her voice was drowned out by the sudden blast of the captain's horn, and no one could hear the rest of her words.
"Everyone, please be quiet for now! I have something very important to announce!"
The team leader held up the loudspeaker and shouted in a loud and serious voice: "Just now, Comrade Shen Zhiqing found a blind bear on the hill behind our team!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the threshing ground suddenly exploded.
The villagers looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"A blind bear? That's impossible! There has never been a blind bear in our back mountain!" An elderly man said hesitantly.
"Yes, Captain! Could it be that Shen Zhiqing made a mistake? Did he mistake the wild boar for a blind bear?" Someone echoed, obviously expressing doubts about Shen Nian's discovery.
The captain first glared at the person who spoke, then looked in the direction of Shen Nian.
Seeing the captain looking at him, Shen Nian shrugged nonchalantly, as if to say to him, "Anyway, I've said what I can say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
Seeing Shen Nian like that, the captain could more or less guess what was going on in her mind. He quickly raised the loudspeaker again and interrupted the speculation and discussion below.
"There used to be no blind bears in our back mountain! But, have you all forgotten that blind bears have been spotted in the mountains of several surrounding brigades? This is no joke!"
The threshing ground was now completely quiet. It was nothing more than being scared!
Because other brigades had indeed discovered blind bears and had reported them to the commune before.
The commune even organized people to go up the mountain to search, and some curious people in the Shuangxi Brigade went along to join in the fun.
"Captain, then... then what should we do now? The autumn harvest is over, and everyone has to go up the mountain to collect firewood, otherwise we won't be able to survive this winter!"
Aunt Zhang San spoke out that she believed what Shen Nian said, and she even felt a little scared after realizing it belatedly.
During this period, her husband would take the family down the mountain to collect firewood after work. She couldn't bear to think about what would happen if they ran into that blind bear...
"Yes, Captain, if there really is a blind bear on this mountain, can we still go up the mountain to collect firewood?"
Xiaohua's mother asked anxiously. Her husband was a gambling addict and foolishly filial. The burden of the family fell entirely on her.
After the autumn harvest, Xiaohua Niang not only had to prepare firewood for her own family, but also had to prepare some for her parents-in-law.
Therefore, Xiaohua Niang didn’t care whether there were blind bears on the mountain or not. The only thing she was worried about was whether she could still go up the mountain to collect firewood!
"Xiaohua's mother! If there really was a blind bear, would you still dare to go up the mountain to collect firewood?" an aunt joked.
The captain raised his hand, signaling them to calm down. "Everyone, don't panic. The most important thing right now is that everyone stay away from going up the mountain for now, especially not alone. Let's wait for our team to come up with a plan, and then we'll notify everyone!"
The captain shouted that this incident happened too suddenly and he couldn't come up with a comprehensive solution at the moment. He could only inform everyone about it first and then find a solution as soon as possible.
After hearing what the captain said, the villagers had all kinds of thoughts in their minds, but they all knew that the captain was too busy to deal with them.
So everyone nodded and said they would follow the arrangements.
Seeing this, the team leader continued, "All village cadres must stay, including Shen..."
As the captain spoke, he looked towards the place where Shen Nian had just stood. There was no Shen Nian there. He had disappeared long ago.
The team leader shook his head helplessly at the little girl and continued, "Only the village cadres will stay to discuss the matter, and everyone else can go!"
"Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian."
As soon as Shen Nian returned home, Aunt Zhang followed.
"Aunt San, why are you here?" Shen Nian looked back at Aunt Zhang San while washing his hands.
"What else could it be? It's that story about the blind bear the captain mentioned during the assembly! You don't know how scared I was when I heard that! When you found it today, nothing happened, did you?"
Aunt Zhang San walked up to Shen Nian, looked her up and down, and asked with concern.
Shen Nian let Aunt Zhang look at her. She shook the water droplets off her hands, shook her head and smiled, "No, Aunt, I was at a distance from it, it didn't notice me."
Aunt Zhang's face turned pale again when she heard this. She couldn't help but pat her chest and said with lingering fear:
"Just thinking about it is enough to scare me to death! Luckily you're alright. If that blind bear had found you, it would have been a disaster! You'd better be more careful when you go up the mountain next time!"
Hearing Aunt Zhang's concern, Shen Nian smiled and nodded, comforting her: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely be careful."
Then he continued, "By the way, Third Aunt, I heard from Xiaole that Uncle Zhang takes Chunyang and the others up the mountain after work every day? Tell them not to go too deep into the mountains, because there are really bears there."
Aunt Zhang patted her shoulder gently and said gratefully, "How could I not believe what you said? Don't worry, I'll tell your uncle when I get home to stop going up the mountain. If not, just save some fuel for the winter. The most important thing is for the whole family to be healthy and together..."
Having said that, she paused for a moment and continued, "No, I'm going to go back and tell your Uncle Zhang right now. This matter can't be delayed."
After saying that, Aunt Zhang turned around and left in a hurry.
Shen Nianle came out with a bowl of mung bean soup, and only saw the back of Aunt Zhang. He looked at Shen Nian in confusion: "Sister, why did Aunt Zhang leave right after she arrived?"
"She was worried that Uncle Zhang would take Chunyang and the others up the mountain, so she hurried back to check." Shen Nian explained as he took the mung bean soup that Shen Nianle handed to him.
"But isn't it just noon now?" Shen Nianle touched his head in confusion.
Shen Nian drank the mung bean soup in the bowl and then said to him, "Third Aunt was in a hurry and probably forgot about this."
When gathering in the afternoon, the team leader announced the results of the discussion among the village cadres.
