Hunter Zhao was surprised when he heard the two's discussion, but then he couldn't help but give them a thumbs-up. "Hey, little girl, you're really smart! I've been studying for so many years, and I still haven't come up with such a good idea. Your improvement will definitely double the effect!"

When the surrounding villagers heard what Hunter Zhao said, they all looked at him with admiration.

Shen Qiqi smiled, but her heart became more determined.

She looked at Lu Qing, her eyes gleaming with confidence: "Then let's try this method!"

Lu Qing nodded, his eyes full of support: "Okay, let's do it together!"

As the night deepened, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked out of Zhao Liehu's house hand in hand, surrounded by curious villagers.

Their hearts were filled with confidence and expectation, and they walked towards the mountains with firm steps.

Shen Qiqi whispered to Lu Qing, "Tonight, we're going to let those beasts know that this forest is our territory!"

Hunter Zhao laughed softly, his voice echoing in the night sky: "Little girl, you are such a treasure!"

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other and embarked on a new journey.

In the night, their figures gradually faded away, leaving behind hope and determination.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing acted immediately as soon as they said they would.

They collected a lot of dry firewood and piled it into circles of bonfires along the edge of the forest. It looked like a fire dragon coiled at the foot of the mountain. The scene was spectacular.

Shen Qiqi even sprinkled chili powder and pepper powder around the fire. The smell was so strong that even humans would sneeze, not to mention wild animals.

As night falls, the forest is quiet, with only the crackling sound of the campfire and the occasional cry of night birds.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing hid in the dark and observed, holding sticks tightly in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

Not long after, a rustling sound came from the woods, and a fat wild boar poked its head out.

It seemed to smell the fragrance of food and walked towards the fruit saplings.

"Here it comes!" Shen Qiqi whispered, her eyes fixed on the wild boar.

The wild boar was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, it smelled a pungent smell and sneezed violently. "A-choo!" It took a few steps back in fright, looking at the fire in front of it in confusion.

The firelight shone on the boar's face, highlighting its terrified expression.

It sniffed the air again, got scared, turned around and ran away, disappearing into the darkness.

"Haha, it worked!" Shen Qiqi jumped up excitedly and high-fived Lu Qing. "It seems our method worked!"

In the next few days, there were no more signs of damage by wild animals in the mountains and forests.

The fruit tree seedlings are growing vigorously and thriving.

Shen Qiqi looked at the fruits of her labor, feeling very happy and having a great sense of accomplishment.

Lu Qing was also happy for her. He gently put his arm around Shen Qiqi's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Qiqi, you're awesome!"

Shen Qiqi winked playfully and said with a smile: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"

Just as the two were immersed in joy, the village chief hurried over and said breathlessly, "Qiqi, Lu Qing, something bad has happened. The Forestry Bureau..."
