Li Jing looked down and saw that it was a small dried fish.
It was golden in color and a little soft, probably because it got a bit soggy after being fried.
The village is in chaos now, and food is scarce. Li Jing doesn't know how the Song family managed to preserve the small amount of chews they brought up from the foot of the mountain...
But the little girl was actually willing to give it to her.
After she finished eating a piece of seafood, they even stuffed dried fish into her mouth...
Li Jing naturally didn't move. He tilted his head back slightly and reached out to push Wen Shishi's small hand back to his mouth.
"Sister isn't hungry, Shishi can keep it for herself."
Li Jing smiled and comforted her, explaining that he was worried that declining would hurt Wen Shishi's feelings.
Unexpectedly, Wen Shishi's little hand was accurate and quick, and she brought it back to Li Jing's lips, the dried fish touching Li Jing's lips.
The little one said with a grin, "It smells delicious, Sister Jing, have a taste..."
Since he had already encountered it, it didn't seem right to push it back. Helpless, Li Jing could only lower his head and put the dried fish in his mouth.
After a few chews, it was indeed fresh and delicious.
It would be even more delicious if it were taken out of the pan while it was still hot.
"Thank you, Shishi, I'm full. Shishi will keep the rest for herself..."
Li Jing smiled and reminded him.
The little girl didn't insist. She only had these two delicious things, and since she'd already given them to her older sister...
I'll give it to my sister when there's something delicious to eat next time.
Song Chengxin watched and listened intently as the two, one big and one small, spoke, pursing his lips as his heart ached more and more.
"Jing'er..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Jing turned his head towards the village gate and saw his father leading his men back from the foot of the mountain.
Song Chenghou stepped forward and took Wen Shishi...
As a result, Wen Shishi was taken by Song Chengxin again. She grabbed a handful of food in her little hand and a dried fish in her other hand, putting it into her mouth...
Completely invisible, just a tool for the third brother.
Song Chengxin felt like he was about to vomit blood.
Li Jing went to greet him.
The clan chief saw the scene at the entrance of the council hall, where the clansmen were busy yet orderly...
Li Jing accompanied him inside, recounting the events and the assistance provided by the Song family and others in detail.
Li Guang looked at Song Chenghou and nodded appreciatively.
After hearing the situation, Li Guang was very pleased.
He affirmed, "Jing'er, you did well. It's fortunate you didn't take the villagers to find the deputy clan chief, otherwise..."
Li Guang didn't finish speaking. There were many people passing by, and some of his words were not conducive to unity.
Li Jing understood and told the truth, "I almost went back then, but it was the eldest young master who reminded me, and the second young master who made the specific arrangements and suggestions..."
Only then did my daughter finally settle down.
Li Jing did not mind attributing all the credit to the person who devised the plan.
My father once said that a capable leader is not afraid of others being better than himself, and must have the capacity to tolerate others.
Being able to see the strengths of others, attracting people who are more outstanding than oneself to come to one's side and work together, further demonstrates a leader's strength.
After exploring the area at the foot of the mountain for more than two hours, Li Guang showed signs of fatigue.
Li Jing escorted her home. His own roof wasn't badly damaged, and his men had already helped repair it.
Song Chenghou's gaze followed the father and daughter as they left, and he saw that the clay bricks were almost finished firing, which meant they could finally free up some manpower...
He then called over the fourth, fifth, and ninth brothers, whispered a few words to them, and the three returned to their respective positions to continue their work.
They left one after another from different directions when no one was paying attention, and then disappeared without a trace.
Because of the good command, the clay bricks were fired quickly, and the Li people were able to repair their houses much faster than expected.
Two hours later, the walls were all built and the roof was completely erected.
The villagers help each other; when it's someone's turn to put up their roof, everyone else helps.
The work of repairing the house has finally come to an end.
Shouts rang out from the village gate as Jiang's men, led by Li Jing's men, returned laden with spoils.
Li Jing's men were carrying several cages. Wen Shishi, being very curious, took advantage of Song Chengxin's inattention, quickly slid off him, and ran over to take a look...
Seeing the wet, slippery mollusk with its gleaming eyes was incredibly eerie, and its tongue was flicking out of its mouth...
She was so frightened that she screamed and ran back crying.
Song Chengxin couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed over in a few strides, hugged Wen Shishi tightly, and pressed her head into his arms.
He gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Third Brother is here!"
Third brother will protect you!
Turning my head to look into the cage, I saw several wriggling snakes, and I was so frightened that I almost fainted!
I almost fell backward, but luckily my older brother arrived and steadied me.
After comforting the older child, Song Chenghou then comforted the younger one, and then, feeling embarrassed, said to Li Jing's men, "Sorry, my younger brother and sister are afraid of snakes..."
