"What happened to him?" Qi Canglan came over quickly, and Pei Jiao put Qi Songbo on a recliner in the shade.

"It's okay. I was bitten by a snake and passed out."

"Are snakes poisonous?" Qi Canglan widened his eyes, his face full of nervousness.

"No." The other party answered briefly and affirmatively.

Hearing this answer, Qi Canglan was obviously relieved and quickly said, "Okay, then I'll take care of him."

Pei Jiao nodded with relief upon seeing this, then turned around and walked towards the rice fields with ease. Looking at Pei Jiao's receding figure, Qi Canglan couldn't help but feel lucky for his good brother.

Qi Canglan turned to look at Qi Songbo, who was still unconscious on the ground. He couldn't help but shook his head and muttered, "Look at you, I told you not to go a long time ago, but a harmless snake scared you to the point of fainting on the spot. Luckily, I was smart and didn't ask any further questions. At least I saved your face a little bit."

Thinking of this, Qi Canglan couldn't help but sigh. Qi Songbo, as a real man, was actually scared to death by a mere snake, and was even carried back by a woman. This is really too embarrassing!

However, Qi Canglan changed his mind and thought, maybe this could be considered a different kind of hero saving a damsel in distress?

After all, it was Pei Jiao who brought Qi Songbo back home in the end.

I guess if Qi Songbo knew about this, especially when he knew that the person who brought him back was his beloved Jiaojiao, he would probably be so happy that he would be at a loss for words!

At this moment, Qi Songbo, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why...why am I back?"

Qi Canglan laughed and teased: "Hehe, your Jiaojiao brought him back."

"Huh? What happened?" Qi Songbo looked confused, obviously having no recollection of what happened before.

So, Qi Canglan told him the whole story in detail. After listening to it, Qi Songbo was completely stunned, and regretted it in his heart. He secretly blamed himself for being so timid at that time and fainted like that, missing the opportunity to have such close contact with Jiaojiao!

"Good boy, you are so lucky that Pei Jiao brought you back personally. It shows that you are somewhat important in her eyes."

Qi Songbo didn't say anything. He didn't want to tell Qi Canglan that there were only him and his Jiaojiao at that place at that time. Pei Chen was called away to help. Given Jiaojiao's personality, it was normal to send him back. It didn't mean anything.

"Sister Pei, is Lord Qi okay?" When Pei Jiao came back after sending the person back, Xu Ning immediately came over and asked.

At that time, Qi Songbo fainted and didn't make much noise. Pei Jiao quickly took action to get rid of the snake and carried the person back in a swift and decisive manner.

If the treasure chest hadn't reminded her, Xu Ning and the others would still not know about this.

The cultivated area has expanded a lot in the past few years, and many fruit trees have been planted according to local conditions. People are too busy to take care of other things, so Pei Jiao carried the person back without being noticed.

"Miss, what happened to that Qi guy?" Pei Chen just came back from helping and asked.

"It's okay, I fainted from shock."

"Haha (normal, no sarcasm), he must be too tired." Xu Ning knew the specific situation, but she couldn't laugh at the other person since he worked so hard to help.

"Grandma, make some old duck soup for Lord Qi to nourish him in the evening." Xu Ning turned around and asked Old Lady Xu to arrange dinner. These past few days, it was mostly meat and fish, and Old Lady Xu did not refuse.

"It's time to make up for it. Lord Qi is a good man and a good official. It's hard for that child." The thing that was most in demand in the valley was chickens, ducks and fish. After the last one was harvested, the group of people who helped were forced to gain several pounds by Old Lady Xu.

Pei Jiao's men also entered the valley on the day of the harvest, and immediately began planning to build a large courtyard-style house next to Xu Ning's fortress.
