Liu Ankang picked up a fat insect from the ground, and the insect twisted its body wildly in his hand.
"You, you are about to drop it." Song Jinxiu took a step back in fright.
Liu Ankang threw the insect to the ground and stomped it to death. Then he secretly stepped on the snake's head so that Song Jinxiu wouldn't see it.
"Phew, I was so scared, I thought I stepped on a snake.
You don't know, when the vines wrapped around my legs just now, I was scared to death." Song Jinxiu patted her chest to comfort herself.
"Why don't we hurry down the mountain? It's too dangerous up there. We've picked so much anyway, it's enough for us to eat." Song Jinxiu said.
Liu Ankang nodded.

I'll help you guys. After we finish picking the pears, we can go down the mountain together." Brother Niu put down his firewood and came over to help pick the pears from the tree.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoniu." Song Jinxiu thanked him.
With the addition of Brother Xiaoniu, Song Jinxiu didn't say she wanted to leave. With an adult man present, she felt very safe.

Liu Ankang kicked the snake head away covertly, and was seen by Xiaoniu. Xiaoniu looked at Liu Ankang and said nothing. The three of them quickly picked all the pears.
With Xiao Niu around, Song Jinxiu didn't need to carry the pears. He even helped carry the firewood back home.
This made Song Jinxiu sigh that the people in this village were really nice.
