Brother Tai sneezed and glanced sharply at his cave.

Xiaobai was lying there sleeping, and Xiaoqing was crawling on the pile of rocks in the cave, looking at it.

"Brother Tai, what's wrong?" Xiaoqing looked at Brother Tai's actions with some confusion.

"This morning, I accidentally drank Huanhuan's blood. Now I feel refreshed and comfortable. Would you like to ask for some?"

Tai Ge's words were casual, but they were like a bolt of thunder in Xiao Qing's heart.

It was a snake, a species known for its cunning ways, but it was not one to turn a blind eye to kindness. The immortal had promised to let it absorb the immortal energy, and he kept his word.

Can feel that the immortal is not evil, then the immortal is willing to give her blood to herself? Xiaoqing fell into deep thought.

Seeing no sound coming, Tai Ge closed his eyes and rested. He would fight the Wolf King tomorrow. Lately, those wolf cubs seemed to be deliberately or unintentionally intruding into his territory, challenging his authority. He was the king here, and he absolutely could not show mercy.

In the village on the other side, people held a meeting at the entrance of the village. Some older people sat in the front, and the young people stood, surrounding the village chief in the middle.

The village chief cleared his throat and said to everyone:

"I've called everyone here today for three reasons. First, the evil deeds done by Lu Fa have been cleared up by the great master of Sanqing Temple. Don't be afraid. Second, Lu Fa escaped through a window last night and headed for the back mountain. Those who went looking for him have reported that he was eaten by a tiger. He deserved it."

As soon as these words were spoken, some villagers who were unaware of the situation began to inquire about the situation. When they learned that the clothes were found in Guhangou, they secretly worried for the villagers who went looking for them.

Guhangou, as the name suggests, is where most people who were eaten by things died. In the early years, someone went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables, got lost and accidentally went to Guhangou.

After returning, I had a fever for several days. According to that person, it was springtime outside the ditch year-round, but inside it was as cold as winter, and the cold came from the soles of my feet. Even though there was no wind, the branches rustled, as if someone was talking in my ear, making me feel anxious and uneasy.

Zhao Huanxi was stunned. It turned out that the place he often went to was called Guhangou. He had never noticed it when he went there after hearing them talk about it. He had thought it was a great place with all kinds of wild vegetables growing beautifully.

I was praising it myself, but I didn't expect it to be such a cruel place.

Fortunately, Xu Qingzhao and the others returned safely, otherwise I would blame myself to death for implicating these innocent people.

Seeing these people starting to make a fuss again, the village chief shouted:

"All right! Silence!"

The crowd stopped talking abruptly, waiting for the village chief's next words.

"Third, Zhao Huanxi's family has decided to hire five more men who can do bricklaying. Twenty-five cents a day, no food included! Work starts tomorrow! Anyone interested can sign up with me, but those who are lazy and want to slack off needn't come."

The crowd exploded again, and many men who were not elected last time almost squeezed the village chief to make him stagger.

"Sister Huanxi, how am I? Look at my muscular body, I'm definitely a master at work!"

"Uncle Village Chief, please take a look at me. Tell Sister Huanxi to take me with you. I will definitely not be lazy."

"And me! Sister, we're neighbors, so it's convenient when we're working together!"

"Girl Zhao, me, me, me!"

"I am coming too!"

Seeing people swarming over, Xu Qingzhao quickly walked in front of Zhao Huanxi to block them from bumping into her.

Zhao Huanxi sighed and said to those people, "Everyone, I'm sorry, my family can't afford so many people, but there will be other work in the future, and I will definitely not forget you all!"

In the end, the village chief and Old Master Lu helped to look for five honest young men in the village, and the matter came to an end.

After Zhao Huanxi finished all these things, he was almost scared by the enthusiasm of these people. After finishing his work, he ran back home in a flash.

It was already afternoon and almost night, and Zhao Huanxi had no idea that she would soon have guests visiting her home.

Not long after I got home, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside.

When I went out, I saw Pang Hongying, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Sister Huanxi! How are you these days?" She was dressed as a man again today, and she looked quite heroic sitting astride the horse.

Some girls heard the unusual noise and went out to check. When they saw the dashing Pang Hongying on horseback, they blushed and looked in her direction.

"Hongying, long time no see, come in and sit down."

Zhao Huanxi went out to greet them with a smile. Pang Hongying expertly tied the horse to the fence.

The children in the room also heard the noise. Xiao Yin saw Hongying, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately shouted excitedly:

"Sister Hongying! Why are you here?"

"Xiao Yin, it's been a long time since we last met. I came here to give your mother some silver." Pang Hongying tied up the horse and skillfully pulled Xiao Yin into the kitchen.

Xu Qingzhao, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt a tinge of jealousy. If I confessed to her that I was also a girl, would she be as enthusiastic towards me?

Will she...?

Xu Qingzhao's heart turned from jealousy to bitterness, and then he shook his head.

She wondered if the new emperor was still hunting her, and whether her true identity would remain hidden forever. She didn't dare gamble. If someone discovered this, Aunt Sun, Uncle Mao, and even Huanxi, who had been protecting her, would all be vulnerable to his wrath.

Xu Qingzhao looked in the direction of Zhao Huanxi's house, sighed heavily, and then disappeared on the spot.

"Sister Huanxi, the last time I came back from your house, I had no appetite, and even dreamed of coming to your house to eat."

Pang Hongying acted coquettishly towards Zhao Huanxi, who laughed silently, thinking that Hongying was only seventeen years old and was still a little girl to her.

He said to her with a hint of pampering: "So what do you want to eat today?"

"Well... Sister Huanxi, I'll eat whatever you guys usually eat."

"Okay, we usually eat bran porridge. I wonder if Miss Pang Da can get used to it?" Zhao Huanxi joked to Pang Hongying.

"Oh, Sister Huanxi is quite mean. It's okay. I came all the way here to give you some silver."

Zhao Huanxi smiled and glanced at her sideways, teasing her:

"I don't want Li Dabiao's reward money. You can give it to Xiaoliu brothers, or at least give it to the relief hall."

Seeing her purpose exposed, Pang Hongying stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said to Zhao Huanxi, "Sister Huanxi is so kind. Why don't you save me, a homeless little girl, too~~"

Zhao Huanxi thought the girl was joking with him, so he responded with a smile: "Okay, but living here in such conditions, will your father feel bad?"

When Pang Hongying heard about her father, she turned around and saw that the three girls were not there. She pouted and complained in Zhao Huanxi's direction:

"Humph! I don't care if he feels bad or not. He went out this time and actually found a stepmother who is only a few years older than me!"

"Puff! What the hell? How old is your father? Cough cough cough!" Zhao Huanxi was blowing the fire in the stove with a blowstick. When he heard Pang Hongying's words, he took a deep breath and almost suffocated to death by the ashes.

"Cough cough cough! Ouch, I'm choking!" Zhao Huanxi ran over and drank some water before he stopped coughing.

Pang Hongying hurriedly patted Zhao Huanxi on the back.

"Sister Huanxi, are you okay? I was scared to death."

"What did you just say your father found for you?"

"Stepmother, the last time you went to town to buy materials, he went out for a walk and brought this back. He said he found this orphan girl on the road and couldn't bear to let her wander around alone, so he brought her back."

Zhao Huanxi has already imagined a big drama in his mind. Isn’t this a classic routine in film and television dramas?
