Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

"Come quickly," Xie Qingyu said, her voice pleading for help.

He Shen was stunned. Before he could react, he had already walked to Xie Qingyu's side.

He had never heard Xie Qingyu say anything like that before.

......

He Shen figured out what had happened from the two men's brief conversation.

"You two are really something..." He Shen first moved a rock to free Xie Qingyu, then helped Chun Tao tie up the rabbits one by one and put them aside before finally putting them into her basket.

"There are still many dangers on the mountain," He Shen whispered to Xie Qingyu.

Actually, he followed the two of them up the mountain today.

The educated youth settlement needed firewood, and recently it was his turn to go up the mountain to collect it.

He wasn't surprised to see Xie Qingyu and Chun Tao going up the mountain; he remembered Xie Xixing telling him not to let Xie Qingyu go deeper into the mountains.

Seeing her with Chun Tao, he didn't think much of it, since it's normal for villagers to go further up the social ladder.

He had already gathered two stacks of firewood, but Chun Tao and Xie Qingyu hadn't come down yet, so he just wanted to come up and check on them.

He vaguely heard cries for help, and he followed the sound in that direction, only to find that the two of them had indeed run into some trouble.

After Xie Qingyu was rescued, she stayed far away from the basket, afraid of getting it on her.

“Your basket…” Chun Tao looked at Xie Qingyu’s basket, which was weighed down by a stone.

"Or we can just leave it here," Xie Qingyu said.

Seeing the lingering fear on Xie Qingyu's face, He Shen said, "You two go down first. I'll take a look and then bring the basket down for you."

He Shen seemed particularly reliable at this moment.

"If I get bitten, it's not worth it, so let's not do it."

“It’s alright, most of the snakes here are non-venomous,” He Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu recalled that it seemed true; snakes were often one of the extra meals they received.

Facing a snake directly is still frightening.

Xie Qingyu didn't hesitate at all, "Then be careful."

Seeing that Xie Qingyu and Chun Tao had walked quite far away and could barely see what was happening here, He Shen opened the basket on his back and then reached out and grabbed Qi Cun.

He moved swiftly, his face expressionless.

It didn't seem like something to be afraid of.

When He Shen caught up with Xie Qingyu, he had already taken the basket with him.

"That snake didn't bite you, did it?" He Shen recalled the snake he had hit on the head with a stone, his expression calm. "When I opened it, the snake had already gone back into its hole, and I had already blocked the entrance with something."

He Shen had seen snakes in the fields a few times before, and he always caught them and brought them back to the educated youth for extra meals.

But in this situation, seeing that Xie Qingyu was scared, he threw it away immediately.

"That's good."

"Didn't your brother forbid you from going upstairs?" He Shen asked.

"Don't tell my brother," Xie Qingyu said immediately.

He Shen smiled. Her threatening tone now was completely different from when she rolled her eyes at him before. They were indeed familiar with each other.

"I won't say, but if you two ever do something like this again, you'd better call... your brother along."

Xie Qingyu remained silent this time.

"I'll give you one of the rabbits. Thank you for today," Xie Qingyu said as they approached the village on the way down the mountain.

"No need, it's hard to say what will happen if we take them back to the educated youth settlement," He Shen refused.

"Then after my mother finishes cooking, I'll have my brother invite you to my house for dinner," Xie Qingyu said. "It's settled then."

Before He Shen could even utter a word of refusal, Xie Qingyu had already arranged it.

"it is good."

He Shen looked at the basket covered with pig feed on Chun Tao's back, then at Xie Qingyu's basket in his own hands, and asked, "Can I borrow your basket for a moment?"

"Use it, use it!" Xie Qingyu replied almost immediately.

He Shen smiled and said, "I still need to go and collect some firewood. You guys go back first."

After Xie Qingyu and Chun Tao walked away, He Shen turned around and went up the mountain, still carrying the firewood he had tied up.

He had bundled up a lot of firewood, so he carried it down directly without needing Xie Qingyu's basket.

He figured Xie Qingyu probably didn't want to take the basket that covered the snake, and sure enough, seeing how eagerly she agreed just now proved that he was right.

There were six rabbits in this litter, of varying sizes. Xie Qingyu took two of the larger ones, and gave the remaining two larger ones and the smaller ones to Chuntao.

After all, she was the one who discovered it.

Chun Tao originally wanted to split them equally, but she insisted on taking one big one and one small one.

An agreement was only reached as a last resort.

Wang Guifen hasn't returned yet.

"Where did these rabbits come from?" Xie Ersao heard the noise outside and hurriedly ran back, only to see the two rabbits in Xie Qingyu's hands.

Xie Ersao's loud voice startled everyone in the house.

Sister-in-law Xie was feeding the chickens in the backyard when she heard the noise and immediately came to the front yard. Her eyes lit up, even though she was usually calm. "What a fat rabbit!"

"I caught it." Xie Qingyu's voice was somewhat smug.

Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the result was good.

"You went deep into the mountains?" Xie Xixing was awakened by their voices, and when he came out and saw the rabbit in Xie Qingyu's hand, he asked.

Xie Qingyu's expression stiffened for a moment, but she stubbornly replied, "No."

Xie Xixing laughed and circled around her. "No? If you don't go up the mountain, where will you get rabbits? Don't tell me you caught them in the field. If you dare to go into the cornfield now, I'll change my surname."

The cornfield was very prickly, and Xie Qingyu couldn't stand it at all.

"I caught it at the foot of the mountain," Xie Qingyu said, forcing herself to stay calm.

She and Chun Tao had already coordinated their statements, saying that they caught the animal at the place where they usually cut pig feed, and they would never reveal their identities.

"Really?" Xie Xixing didn't believe it.

“I went with Chun Tao. You can ask Chun Tao if you don’t believe me,” Xie Qingyu said. “Chun Tao was the one who discovered the rabbit hole.”

"You two are in cahoots, who are you trying to fool?" Xie Xixing didn't even have a good expression when he looked at the rabbit.

"You're not really going up the mountain, are you?" Xie Xixing squinted at Xie Qingyu. "You want to get beaten up."

Xie Qingyu is usually pampered at home, but when it comes to this kind of thing, she's bound to be criticized.

"No, you can ask He Shen if you don't believe me. We even encountered a snake when we were catching rabbits today, and he helped us out. I even told him to come over to our house to eat the rabbits we've cooked."

Xie Qingyu's credibility increased several levels after mentioning He Shen.

Of course, Xie Xixing noticed that it wasn't that. "Snake? You weren't bitten, were you? Didn't you bring a stick?"

Xie Qingyu gave a general account of what happened, omitting their location, of course.

"Thank goodness." Xie Xixing breathed a sigh of relief. "Next time something like this happens, call me. The two of you treating a snake hole like a rabbit hutch is laughable."
