During times of famine: I have a spiritual spring space

Chapter 23 Something terrible has happened!

Early in the morning, Zhuang Liming couldn't wait to get the bed set up. He was so excited to sleep in his new bed tonight. He had never slept in such a nice bed before!

Zhuang Lihui was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to get on it as soon as possible.

When he got home, he found Chen Jianan already waiting for him.

"Brother Hui, Uncle Zhenmin!"

"Jian'an! So early." Second Uncle Zhuang Zhenmin replied with a smile.

Zhuang Lihui patted Zhuang Liming: "Liming, didn't you say you were going to fix your bed? Hurry up and go!"

The group started working, carrying everything inside.

Zhuang Liming wanted to install it quickly, thinking he could lift more at once and finish sooner, but he overestimated his abilities.

Carrying three or four planks, Zhuang Liming walked unsteadily. The planks were so heavy that he couldn't pay attention to anything else, such as Chen Jian'an walking ahead of him.

Both were focused on their own tasks and unaware that a threat was quietly approaching.

Zhuang Lihui, walking behind, saw Zhuang Liming's way of walking and knew he was forcing himself to stay upright, so he hurried over, afraid that something might happen.

He hurried forward and saw that the planks Zhuang Liming was carrying were about to hit Chen Jian'an. He quickly said, "Liming, slow down, stop!"

Upon hearing Zhuang Lihui's words, the people present all stopped.

Zhuang Liming just couldn't stop. He wanted to stop, but due to inertia, his body still fell forward.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Lihui did not hesitate and quickly used his hands to block the two wooden planks.

Although his body had been strengthened by the spiritual spring water, his hand continued to move forward due to the strong inertia, until it finally stopped when it was less than ten centimeters away from Chen Jian'an's head.

Chen Jianan was stunned by what he saw and remained in shock for a long time.

Zhuang Liming was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly apologized to Chen Jian'an.

Zhuang Lihui frowned and immediately reprimanded, "Liming, you can't be so reckless in the future. What would happen if I couldn't stop you?"

Zhuang Liming understood the seriousness of the matter and said, "Brother, I understand."

Admit your mistakes, and stand at attention when you're punished!

After saying that, he continued to apologize to Chen Jian'an.

Seeing that Zhuang Lihui was about to say something, Chen Jian'an preemptively said, "Brother Hui, don't blame Liming. We just didn't run into him!"

Zhuang Zhenmin said in a deep voice, "Liming, your brother is right. You need to be careful in the future and not be so reckless."

Since the parties involved have all said this, Zhuang Lihui couldn't say anything more.

After that, Zhuang Liming no longer dared to be stubborn and moved the pieces in one by one.

Zhuang Lihui carried two or three pieces at a time without much feeling and walked very fast.

There weren't many items, and they were all moved in in less than ten minutes. They started assembling them. For Zhuang Lihui, who was extremely capable with his hands, it was nothing. His second uncle, Zhuang Liming, and Chen Jian'an helped him out.

With the four working in perfect harmony, the two beds were quickly assembled.

Zhuang Liming looked at his own big bed and was very happy, so he couldn't help but lie down.

This bed is so much better than the one he used to sleep in.

"Jian'an, let's go up the mountain and take a look at those timbers."

Although the wood had already been stored in the space, it couldn't be revealed. So, they had to take the "eyewitness" back again and directly shift the blame.

Chen Jian'an had no objection: "Okay!"

Zhuang Liming also wanted to go, but Zhuang Lihui wouldn't allow it, telling him to stay home and tidy up the house.

Even his second uncle, Zhuang Lihui, didn't plan to let him go. Sending so many people would be a waste of manpower and time. He had already stored all the timber in his spatial storage.

"Second Uncle, you shouldn't go either! We're just going to see how dry it is," Zhuang Lihui said.

Chen Jianan: "Only a few days? It definitely hasn't dried yet."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Zhenmin thought it made sense. Freshly cut wood was no joke; it was incredibly heavy.

Let's put it off for now!

"Okay, then you guys go take a look first."

He also had his own things to do, but his nephew's matter was more urgent these past two days, so he came to help.

Zhuang Lihui and Chen Jian'an set off towards the mountain where they were cutting down trees. They chatted along the way, and soon they arrived near their destination. It was a mountain near the village, not far away.

Before they even arrived, the sharp-eyed Chen Jian'an looked as if he'd seen a ghost, his face turning pale with shock: "Brother Hui, where are the trees that were cut down?"

Chen Jian'an quickened his pace, hoping he was mistaken.

They put in a lot of effort to cut down those trees. If someone intercepts them and steals them away, wouldn't he and Brother Hui have worked for nothing that day?

Zhuang Lihui frowned: "Huh! People are stealing trees? If you want them, why don't you just cut them down yourself?"

Chen Jian'an's eyebrows twitched because he really didn't see the tree that had been cut down earlier: "Brother Hui, what's so strange about this? It saves effort! No need to cut it down, just pick up what's already there."

Damn it! Don't let me see who it is.

"Which brainless bastard stole the trees we painstakingly cut down? If I find out, I'll kill him in a heartbeat." Chen Jian'an cursed as he walked.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Lihui's face twitched, and he couldn't help but cough. If it weren't for the fact that the matter of the space couldn't be revealed, he would have really wanted to punch him twice.

There was no other way but to agree: "That's right!"

Chen Jian'an suddenly thought, "Brother Hui, let's hurry over to the bamboo!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhuang Lihui to speak, he strode quickly towards the bamboo grove next to him. Seeing the bamboo chairs and sofas in Brother Hui's house, he became interested and later cut some bamboo as well, some of which he hasn't carried back yet!

When we arrived at the place where the bamboo was being cut down, the bamboo that should have been lying on the ground had completely disappeared.

Chen Jian'an looked around again and noticed signs of logging nearby. He quickly said, "Brother Hui, we need to go back and tell the captain if there are any timber thieves targeting this place."

"That's right. In order to prevent the losses from escalating, we should report it to the captain."

Without further delay, the two immediately ran down the mountain.

When they encountered acquaintances on the street, they didn't have time to greet them, only giving a hurried reply, which left the other person a little confused, wondering what had happened to make them so anxious.

Soon the two arrived at the production team leader's house. There were no tasks for the team at the moment, not even water, so what crops could they grow? Staying at home every day and reducing consumption was the most important task.

"Captain! Captain, something terrible has happened!"

Even from a great distance, you could hear Chen Jian'an shouting.

Captain Li wanted to see who it was and what was so urgent. Couldn't they come in and talk? He had just managed to get his grandson to sleep and he was now waking him up. With his grandson crying incessantly and someone looking for him outside, he had no choice but to leave his grandson with his daughter-in-law.

When he came out, he saw Chen Jian'an panting heavily, while Zhuang Lihui, who was standing to the side, didn't even break a sweat.

"Jian'an, what's wrong? Why are you shouting like that? You're a grown man now, you need to be more careful, otherwise how will you find a wife! Let me tell you..." He was about to start lecturing again.
