He Jingyu pondered for a moment, looked at his wife and daughter, and smiled slightly.
“Yes, at least we can live a peaceful life now,” He Jingyu said, patting his wife’s hand. “I’m going to find Secretary Qi now and ask him to find someone to help us set up a shed here. We’ll be here often from now on.”
“Sure!” Wang Shuping said. “I was going to say that too.”
“Let’s go back together, there’s no need to stay here,” He Jingyu said. Although it wasn’t very hot on the mountain, there were a lot of mosquitoes.
"I can't bear to leave these fruit trees," Wang Shuping said, looking lovingly at the newly planted trees.
In Nanshi, they no longer have a business!
It's here now!
"Hehe, it's alright," He Jingyu said. "Although Qijia Village is remote, Secretary Qi said it's relatively peaceful."
The family of three came down the mountain!
He Jingyu went to Secretary Qi to ask for help in building a shack!
Secretary Qi readily agreed and said he would go tomorrow!
Wang Shuping was preoccupied with what happened in Nanshi and went to bed early that night.
Although she had previously reassured her mother not to worry about the peach saplings, He Tiantian was still uneasy at night and decided to check on them anyway. Since she was going to the back mountain anyway, and the peach orchard was near the cave, she decided to help her parents look after it.
Once they reached the mountain, He Tiantian strolled around the peach orchard before entering the cave.
Once inside the cave, He Tiantian waited for the Snake King to come out, but he didn't appear for quite a while.
"Gurgle gurgle meow..." He Tiantian exclaimed, "Snake King, why aren't you coming out?"
At this moment, the Snake King transformed back into a chubby little baby wearing a bib, his face flushed, trying to revert to his snake form. However, he only succeeded once out of five attempts, maintaining the transformation for a short while before turning back into a chubby little boy.
The funny thing is, it was a little boy with a tail growing out of his butt.
"I want to cultivate!" the Snake King said angrily. "You're not allowed to call me! I want to cultivate!"
He Tiantian stuck out her tongue, startled, and said, "Then you can continue your cultivation. I won't disturb you anymore."
The Snake King hadn't been this angry and irritable in a long time!
I remember when I was first reborn, the Snake King would often fly into a rage like this.
The Snake King was casting spells inside, which He Tiantian couldn't see or guess. However, since the Snake King was inside a barrier, she wasn't worried.
Today's main task is to visit the peach orchard.
He Tiantian dozed off on the rock for a while, then went out for a stroll.
Around three o'clock, He Tiantian went out, preparing to leave.
However, as soon as He Tiantian stepped out of the cave's barrier, she faintly heard people talking not far away!
"Er Laizi, have we arrived yet?" a strange male voice asked. "It's the middle of the night, I can't see clearly. Why did you call me here?"
He Tiantian couldn't recognize whose voice it was! It didn't sound like someone from Qijia Village!
There is no one named Erlaizi in Qijia Village.
At this moment, the man called Erlaizi lowered his voice and said, "Here's the money, work with me, and don't ask any questions!"
"Yes, yes!" The man replied repeatedly when he saw that Erlaizi's tone was unfriendly.
Before long, we finally arrived at Peach Garden.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
It sounded like sawing wood, but it was too far away for He Tiantian to see clearly.
"Snake King, those people are trying to destroy my parents' peach orchard!" He Tiantian thought to herself. "Please help me! Let me see who those two people are!"
The Snake King was sulking and had nowhere to vent his anger, but when he heard He Tiantian's words, he finally found an outlet for his frustration.
In that moment of excitement, the transformation was a success!
He successfully transformed back to his original form, and the energy within his body stabilized. He could now freely switch between human and snake forms!
The Snake King emerged from the barrier and flew directly over.
"Snake King..." He Tiantian shouted in her heart. The Snake King has a bad temper. Will he bite those two people to death in one go?
The Snake King did not respond at all and did as he pleased.
The two men had just cut through the fence and were about to come in when the Snake King was already in front of them!
It's too lazy to use its teeth to bite these filthy humans, which would only dirty its mouth.
The Snake King unleashed a powerful tail swipe, striking the two men's faces twice.
"Ah..." Two people screamed like pigs being slaughtered, covering their faces and rolling on the ground.
Then, the Snake King flew back in the blink of an eye and entered the barrier.
He Tiantian asked hesitantly, "Then... will those two people die?"
"I won't die!" the Snake King replied lazily. "Hurry up and go home!"
He Tiantian pointed to the two people rolling around and crying, and asked, "What should we do with those two?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, they'll leave," the Snake King replied. "I need to cultivate now, don't disturb me..."
Seeing the Snake King's reaction, He Tiantian quickly left along the familiar path.
However, since she couldn't die, He Tiantian was unwilling to let the two people go so easily and wanted to teach them a lesson.
At the same time, the snake king's actions were very violent; he only hit people without asking why he hit them!
Letting these two go like this is too lenient on them.
He Tiantian stopped, realizing she was upwind. She found a patch of thick grass, squatted down, pinched her nose, lowered her voice, and imitated the voice of a shrill female ghost: "I'm innocent... I'm innocent..."
The sound was distant, yet mournful and eerie!
There was no response from the other end, and He Tiantian was slightly disappointed!
The Snake King within the barrier, seeing that He Tiantian was trying to scare the two people, created a misty blue light not far from her. Within this light, the vague shadow of a long-haired woman with a very long tongue could be seen…
"Er Laizi, you...you heard something?" one of the men stammered, then turned and saw the blue light. "A ghost..."
Erlaizi was also taken aback, his teeth chattering as he said, "I...I heard someone talking..."
"I'm innocent..." He Tiantian's voice became even more shrill and louder than before. The figure in the blue light moved more dramatically, as if it were very agitated.
"A ghost!" he cried, then turned tail and ran. He ran several meters in the blink of an eye, but because it was dark and he couldn't see the road, he crashed into a tree and was knocked unconscious.
Erlaizi was also quite frightened. Looking at the figure, he swallowed hard and said, "There...there are no ghosts in the world..."
"Whether there are ghosts or not, you'll know when you die and become a ghost..." He Tiantian said in a sinister tone, slowly, her words carried on the mountain wind, making them even more terrifying!
At that moment, the figure in the blue light bared its fangs and claws, lunging at him.
"I...I don't want to die...I don't want to die..." Er Laizi stammered, completely panicked, running around like a headless fly. (To be continued.)
