He Tiantian led them to a place with lush green grass and stopped to start cutting the grass.

Professor Gu was slow at mowing, so He Tiantian would always leave the grass with him, secretly helping him. No one else noticed, not even Professor Gu himself. However, Xiang Rong and Zuo Li discovered it later.

In their youth, they were all excellent soldiers with keen observation skills. Seeing He Tiantian's actions, they unconsciously held this kind-hearted girl in higher regard.

He Tiantian simply wanted to help these people and didn't expect anything in return.

After all, these people aren't bad people. If we can help them, we should. Who knows, He Tiantian might need their help in the future.

“Look at He Tiantian, she’s a good girl. The wild fruits and vegetables we usually eat are all brought to us by her,” Xiang Rong said softly. “And last time, if it weren’t for her, Old Bai would probably have been dragged out for re-education again. We are powerless now, but when we are able, we must repay this girl properly.”

Zuo Li nodded in agreement, saying, "We made the right choice coming to Qijia Village. The village secretary here hasn't given us any trouble. However, judging from the incident where Secretary Qi was reported last time, it's clear that someone in the village is up to no good. We should continue to be careful to avoid being taken advantage of and implicating Secretary Qi."

“You know that Tianya is good to us, but we shouldn’t talk about it outside,” Xiang Rong said. Everyone who came to this remote village wanted to live a few peaceful days, especially a delicate little girl like He Tiantian.

Just as Zuo Li was speaking, the Snake King in the spatial barrier lazily said, "There are several pheasant nests ahead, and quite a few wild eggs. If you hurry up, you might be able to catch them all."

The Snake King thought He Tiantian was too thin; without good food, her body couldn't provide enough high-quality blood. Without those "spiritual medicines," its cultivation speed had greatly decreased. It was very bored in the human realm and couldn't wait to leave!

He Tiantian was overjoyed. She hadn't been up the mountain for a while due to the busy farming season, and hadn't gotten anything good from it in a long time. Hearing the Snake King's reminder, she was thrilled.

"Everyone, stop for a moment." He Tiantian didn't want to disturb the pheasants in the grass, so she whispered to Professor Gu beside her, as well as Zuo Li and Xiang Rong not far away.

Professor Gu was puzzled, but still asked in a low voice, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, I spotted some pheasants ahead. Let's keep a low profile and catch them all. We can have a treat tonight," He Tiantian explained softly, bending down and walking into the bushes as instructed by the Snake King within the barrier.

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong looked at each other in astonishment. He Tiantian had such amazing hearing; they hadn't heard anything, but she had.

However, now is not the time to study hearing sensitivity. Let's catch some wild pheasants and have a good meal together; that would be the greatest reward for them.

Since everyone had a share, Zuo Li and Xiang Rong went from both sides to join He Tiantian in surrounding the pheasants in the dense weeds.

Aunt Liu was very excited; if they caught a pheasant, she would get a share. After such a long busy farming season, the elderly and children in her family hadn't had much to eat. If they could catch a pheasant, the whole family could have some extra food.

Hearing the noise, several pheasants tried to abandon their eggs and escape, but suddenly found themselves too slow to fly and could only flutter on the ground. The dense grass, usually their perfect hiding place, had now become a hindrance to their escape.

He Tiantian caught two, one in each hand. Zuo Li and Xiang Rong were not bad either, catching two each, and even Aunt Liu, who came to watch the fun, caught one as well.

"Haha, sweet girl, I caught one too!" Aunt Liu exclaimed with delight. Having lived in Qijia Village for so many years, she knew that pheasants in the back mountains were very difficult to catch. Even the most skilled hunters needed a rifle, bow and arrow, or a trap to catch them. This was the first time Aunt Liu had encountered such a situation, and she was extremely excited.

He Tiantian carried two plump pheasants to Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, please hold these for me. I'm going inside to collect the eggs."

"Okay." Aunt Liu agreed and took the two pheasants that He Tiantian handed over.

There were seven pheasants and four nests of eggs. He Tiantian took a basket and collected nearly sixty wild eggs. Even though the eggs were a bit small, the basket was still full.

"Aunt Liu, Professor Gu, Uncle Xiang, Uncle Zuo, Uncle Qian, Uncle Sun, we've found so many wild eggs!" He Tiantian said. "Auntie, you're our leader, how do you plan to divide these eggs and pheasants?"

Most of these pheasants were caught by Zuo Li and Xiang Rong, but they had no right to distribute them. After all, their current status was sensitive, and they couldn't get involved in these matters.

He Tiantian has the power, but Aunt Liu has always taken good care of her, and since she is young, these things should naturally be assigned by Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu does like to take advantage of small things, but she knows when to stop. If others share the spoils, she might feel unhappy, thinking they don't value her. But if she were to share, Aunt Liu wouldn't feel comfortable taking more than her share, and she wouldn't gossip about it.

Upon hearing He Tiantian say this, Aunt Liu squinted her eyes and chuckled, "You're the one who discovered this, Tiantian, you should be the one to divide it."

He Tiantian shook her head repeatedly and explained, "Aunt Liu, I'm young, and you've always taken care of me. You're such a kind person and fair in your dealings, so it's most appropriate for you to share the spoils. Don't you all agree?"

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong naturally understood what He Tiantian meant and said, "Yes, Sister Liu, with Uncle Qi not here, you are the leader among us. We support whatever you say, and you did quite well just now, you even caught a pheasant."

Aunt Liu was very pleased with everyone's praise. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Since you all think so highly of me, I'll divide it up. The pheasants I caught myself are mine, half of this basket of wild eggs is mine, and the rest you can divide among yourselves. I won't interfere."

Aunt Liu didn't ask for an exorbitant amount, but He Tiantian wanted to give her more wild eggs.

Aunt Liu had a reason for wanting wild eggs, and He Tiantian wanted to explain it to the others so that they wouldn't misunderstand Aunt Liu.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot," He Tiantian exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "Aunt Liu, I just found out yesterday that your youngest son just recovered from a fever and needs to recover. Two eggs a day, this basket of eggs should last him a month, he'll definitely grow up healthy and plump." (To be continued.)
