The three women exchanged a few words with Aunt Qiao and then left.
After a while, Heiduo came back with a wooden barrel containing nutrient solution and seeds.
The sweat on his face kept sliding down his cheeks to his chest. He wiped it off and then washed his face with cold water.
“Have the seeds been planted?”
Heiduo nodded. "The nutrient solution is very effective. The soil has improved after watering. I planted the seeds again."
There was irrepressible joy in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Li also became happy.
"It's hot now and water is lost quickly. I'm still watering with nutrient solution these days. This way, we can harvest crops quickly."
After seeing that the land had truly returned to its original state, Hei Duo now believed what Jiang Li said without a doubt.
"It's getting late now. I'm going to prepare dinner. You and my mother can go and have some rest."
Without waiting for Jiang Li and Aunt Qiao to react, he pushed them into the house.
Seeing Heiduo busying himself in the yard, Jiang Li was a little at a loss.
"Xiao Li, just take a rest. You don't need help. He can do it on his own."
Hearing Aunt Qiao say this, Jiang Li said nothing more.
After Heiduo finished cooking the meal, a thin, dark man swaggered in.
"Hello Aunt Qiao, I took a fish from your house last time and now I'm returning it." The man handed the fish to Xiaoyue beside him.
"Don't be so polite, Xiaoliuzi, have you eaten?" Aunt Qiao asked.
"I've already eaten." Xiao Liuzi nodded.
Just at this moment, a woman who had been here not long ago called Aunt Qiao away, saying that the straw mat was broken and asked Aunt Qiao to help fix it.
After Aunt Qiao left, Xiao Liuzi turned his attention to Jiang Li who was eating seriously.
Jiang Li, feeling the gaze, looked up and happened to meet Xiao Liuzi's eyes.
But he did not panic and dodge. Instead, he smiled wickedly and poked Heiduo, who was eating, with his arm.
"Huh?" Heiduo looked at him puzzled.
"Heiduo, is this the female you rescued? Not bad, the progress is quite fast!"
Heiduo raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Xiaoliuzi meant.
"Okay, stop pretending. Aunt Qiao has already said it."
Seeing that Heiduo still looked confused, Xiaoliuzi stopped beating around the bush with him.
"Now the news has spread throughout the tribe that you rescued a female from outside, and you fell in love with her over time, and she even got pregnant."
Jiang Li, who was eating, was choked by Xiao Liuzi's words and started coughing uncontrollably.
"Are you okay?" Heiduo quickly picked up the water beside him and handed it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li felt better after drinking some water and stopped coughing, but there was still a slight blush on his cheeks.
Seeing Hei Duo being so considerate to her, her eyes were filled with gossip.
"Tell the truth, Hei Duo. When did you rescue her? You became a father so soon? You don't know that your fangirls are almost crying."
Heiduo's face turned red after hearing what Xiaoliuzi said. He stammered and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"No, you misunderstood. He just rescued me. He is not the father of the child."
Seeing Jiang Li also explaining, Xiao Liuzi blinked in confusion, and then looked at Hei Duo.
Hei Duo also nodded to confirm, "What she said is true, we have no relationship."
"Ah~" Xiao Liuzi sighed and sat down by himself, "They say that the iron tree blooms, I thought it was true."
Heiduo said nothing and continued eating with his head down.
"I heard that Yan Cheng and his group were punished by the Bear King. What happened?"
Heiduo asked him while chewing the food in his mouth.
Xiao Liuzi is the one who knows the most gossip in their tribe.
Jiang Li, who was standing by, seemed to smell the melon as well. He slowed down his eating movements and pricked up his ears secretly.
Xiao Liuzi sighed, "It is said that the Beast God sent a female bird envoy to rescue our Beast Tribe, and this envoy happened to be in the Snake Tribe. The Bear King ordered them to find the whereabouts of the envoy and bring her back. But they didn't find her, so they were punished by the Bear King."
Jiang Li's hands paused while he was eating, and his heart skipped a beat.
Female messenger of the bird tribe?
Why does this identity description sound so much like her?
She suddenly remembered that when she was in the snake tribe, the black bear tribe members were indeed looking for someone. At that time, she was only worried about the lives of the three little ones and didn't think about it at all.
Now it seems...she has fallen into the tiger's den?
But why is the Bear King's words different from the Snake King's? How did she become the messenger of the Beast God?
She pursed her lips subconsciously, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and some fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The two people standing by immediately noticed Jiang Li's unnatural behavior and looked at her in unison.
"Jiang Li, are you okay?" Hei Duo put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and asked worriedly.
"I……"
As soon as she opened her mouth, her brows furrowed again and she kept gasping for air.
"What's wrong with you?" This made Hei Duo even more worried.
The familiar pain came from his stomach again, and Jiang Li couldn't help gasping for air in pain.
After Heiduo asked her the third time, she grabbed Heiduo's strong arm.
"Heiduo, I'm about to give birth."
She was a little puzzled as to why the baby she was carrying was always in such a hurry to come out, always earlier than expected.
Could it be that she was frightened by what Xiao Liuzi said just now? That’s why she gave birth early?
After Heiduo and Xiaoliuzi heard this, the former blushed with shame and the latter paced back and forth in fear.
How could men do this? They could only find professionals.
Then, Heiduo carried Jiang Li back into the house, and Xiaoliuzi went to call Aunt Qiao back.
Upon learning that Jiang Li was about to give birth, Aunt Qiao rushed back without saying a word. She first told Xiaoyue to boil some hot water, and then drove Heiduo out of the house as he couldn't help.
"Xiao Li, how do you feel now?"
Her whole body was soaked with sweat, and Aunt Qiao wiped the sweat off Jiang Lishen's face with a cloth.
"It hurts quite a lot." She gritted her teeth, her clenched hands shaking constantly.
"Xiao Li, don't worry, I have already prepared everything."
After saying that, Aunt Qiao rummaged around and took out the baby clothes, scissors and other items that had been prepared.
After Xiaoyue brought in the hot water, the pain was much worse than before.
Aunt Qiao was afraid that Xiaoyue would be scared, so she asked her to put down the water and leave quickly.
Fortunately, with the help of Aunt Qiao this time, and with the experience of giving birth before, Jiang Li did not suffer as much pain this time, and gave birth to the baby quickly.
"It's born! It's born!"
Heiduo seemed very happy when he heard the baby crying outside, and his heart finally settled down.
Just as he was about to push the door open, Aunt Qiao, who was inside the house, sensed something and started to scold him.
"Don't come in yet!"
