Upon hearing this, the Snake King was speechless.

"Can't you ask me first before you do these things?" the Snake King said irritably. This woman always acts on her own and thinks she's so clever.

He Tiantian stopped and explained, "Actually, I wanted to tell you this, but I noticed you've been cultivating very diligently lately, and I didn't want to disturb you."

"Even if you get to Hu Family Village and find that Er Laizi to read his memories, won't that bother me?" the Snake King retorted. "If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? I've already taken a wisp of that person's divine sense. I can automatically read his memories anytime, anywhere, whenever I want."

He Tiantian was stunned. She had indeed done a useless job, running to Hujia Village in the middle of the night and still having to trouble the Snake King.

But the Snake King had already planned the next steps; he wouldn't need to come in person to know Er Laizi's memories. This would be equivalent to installing a human-shaped recording device in Hu Family Village! If possible, they might even be able to see the images—it would be a human-shaped camera!

"Then... shall we go back now?" He Tiantian calculated the time and estimated that they would arrive at Hujia Village in a few more minutes.

"Why not go back? To feed the mosquitoes in Hu Family Village?" the Snake King retorted. "In the future, don't make decisions on your own. You must discuss it with me first."

What should I do if I encounter danger?

Doesn't she know that her good looks might incite crime?

"Yes, thank you, Snake King." Although the Snake King's tone was unfriendly, He Tiantian could feel his deep concern.

He Tiantian turned back to Qijia Village. After walking for a short while, she cautiously asked, "Snake King, what new memories does that Erlaizi have? I want to know who that woman is? Why did she instigate people to destroy my father's peach orchard?"

As long as He Tiantian is safe, the Snake King doesn't care about human affairs and directly transfers his memories to He Tiantian.

It turned out that after Erlaizi fell that day, he woke up shortly afterward and found that he could still move. So he woke up Gou Dan from the same village, and the two of them left the back mountain in a sorry state. If they had been ten minutes or so later, they probably would have run into He Jingyu and Secretary Qi's group.

Back in Qijia Village, Erlaizi and Gou Dan each had a long scar on their face. They bought medicine from Wang Shuilian and applied it, but now their faces were black and smelly.

After Erlaizi returned home, he still thought about the woman sending him money, but it never came.

Erlaizi cursed and swore all day long, but the woman still didn't come.

"Did this woman hear about the commotion in Qijia Village and realize that things had failed, so she didn't go looking for Erlaizi?" He Tiantian asked Snake King in her mind, this was her analysis.

The Snake King lazily said, "That's beyond my ability to predict!"

Although his tone was lazy, the Snake King's voice was a bit high-pitched and sharp.

"Snake King, what's wrong with your voice?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly, noticing the difference.

The snake king inside the barrier was furious because it had transformed into human form again, and it was an uncontrollable human form!

"It's alright, I need to cultivate now, you should go back quickly," the Snake King said. "Go and review that person's memories again, see if there are any clues?"

He Tiantian saw that the Snake King was unwilling to talk, so she didn't force him!

The world of the Snake King is beyond the comprehension of her little follower.

He Tiantian went through Er Laizi's memories again and discovered something rather strange.

Erlaizi actually knew a lot of dirty things about Hujia Village, such as the fact that the village's accountant in his forties and an educated youth were having an affair in the cornfield, which he caught them in the act.

Erlaizi extorted money from Accountant Hu several times, mostly in the form of money and grain coupons.

As for that female educated youth...

He Tiantian was taken aback; it was actually Liu Lingli.

Yes, in Erlaizi's memory, the female educated youth who got together with Accountant Hu was Liu Lingli.

He Tiantian was very puzzled. Liu Lingli was two years older than her and was in her prime. How could she give herself to a man who was over forty years old?

Furthermore, although Liu Lingli is jealous, she is also proud and ambitious. Unless something unexpected happens, she is unlikely to do anything like that!

What exactly happened?

He Tiantian wanted to know, but considering it was Liu Lingli's private matter and that she and Liu Lingli didn't have a deep relationship, she wouldn't ask about it!

It's fair to say that Erlaizi's memory is of little use!

However, life had to go on, and work had to be done every day. Even though He Tiantian had something on her mind, she didn't show it on the surface. If she got any more clues, she would report it to County Chief Niu.

Under the meticulous care of He Jingyu and Wang Shuping, the peaches in the back hill all survived.

This delighted He Jingyu and his wife, who had originally thought that an 80% survival rate would have been satisfactory.

Now it's 100% certain, I'm overjoyed.

The mother tree, in particular, is growing vigorously.

“Old He, this tree must really like being here,” Wang Shuping said with a smile, gently stroking the branches of the sturdy mother tree.

They've put a lot of effort into this tree; they can spot even the slightest change in it.

"Yes, seeing that these peach trees are in good condition, it can be considered a blessing in disguise," He Jingyu said. "The mountains here are very fertile, and the water source is also very good. These trees will definitely bear fruit next year."

“Yes, since the environment here is so good, let’s build a greenhouse in the fall and propagate more peach saplings. Once the peaches turn out well next year, we can plant them on a large scale. Without saplings, we’ll be delayed for another year,” Wang Shuping suggested, planning for the future.

“Anyway, saplings don’t take up much space, and a greenhouse of a few dozen square meters can cultivate a lot of saplings,” He Jingyu said. “I just happened to find some stones, so let’s make a greenhouse ourselves.”

The couple discussed it this way.

He Tiantian also comes over to help when she has free time!

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Just as He Tiantian was trying to read Er Laizi's memories, she discovered that she couldn't read anything.

After examining the area, the Snake King said softly, "That scoundrel is dead!"

"Dead?" He Tiantian was shocked. She was hoping to get information about the masked woman from Er Laizi!

"Yes, he's dead," the Snake King said, somewhat embarrassed. He had been busy cultivating lately and had forgotten about the outside world. He hadn't even known that Erlaizi was dead.

This incident caused it to lose all face in front of He Tiantian.

"How did he die?" He Tiantian asked. "Was someone trying to silence him?"

He Tiantian was secretly alarmed, realizing that a crisis was approaching!
