The children found their favorite spots and began to draw quietly.

Just then, a little boy named Song Xiaoming suddenly ran up to Su Tian and whispered, "Teacher, there's an uncle over there watching us."

Su Tian looked in the direction Song Xiaoming pointed and saw a middle-aged man in black standing under a tree not far away, silently watching them.

Su Tian couldn't help but feel wary, but she still smiled and said to Song Xiaoming, "Maybe he just thinks our paintings are very good. Don't worry about him, let's keep painting."

However, what happened next was completely unexpected for Su Tian. When she looked in that direction again, she found that he had vanished.

Su Tian looked around but didn't see anyone.

Then she stopped paying attention to that side and focused on guiding the children in their drawing.

Half an hour later, the man reappeared.

He also threw two pheasants at her feet and said, "These are for you, to thank you for saving the child."

Su Tian found it strange. Wasn't Widow Zhang a widow? What was her relationship with this man?

The man noticed Su Tian's confusion and explained, "I like her and her child." With that, he turned and left.

"Wow, teacher, there are pheasants!" one of the children exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh, this pheasant was given to us by that uncle. The teacher is going to take it back to the educated youth settlement for another brother."

However, if you draw well, the teacher will give you a reward.

How about one White Rabbit milk candy for each of you?

"Okay, thank you, teacher." The children were so happy they wanted to jump for joy; they had never eaten this kind of candy before.

Looking at their happy faces, Su Tian thought to herself: Children's minds are so simple; a piece of candy can make them so happy.

She was deeply grateful that God had brought her into this world; this world is truly wonderful.

As she watched the children draw, she couldn't help but wonder how well Song Zhe and the others were completing their task.

Unbeknownst to her, Song Zhe and the others were also on the same mountain as her.

She was at the foot of the mountain, while Song Zhe and the others were deep in the forest.

Su Tian observed the children's paintings. They were all very abstract, but upon closer inspection, one could still discern what they depicted.

"Come on, children, line up, the teacher is going to give you candy."

Su Tian took out eleven candies from her pocket and handed one to each of them.

After handing out the candy, Su Tian picked up the pheasant, packed up her things, and took the children back to school.
