A fast-paced transmigration story set in a historical fiction era: The fox spirit is enjoying happin

So it turns out she didn't come here just to find him.

Meng Donglai looked dejected: "I drank last night, and then I ended up in bed at home."

"Don't you plan to get revenge on the people who hurt you?"

Meng Donglai paused for a moment after hearing this and then shook his head.

Why seek revenge? Who could a mere bastard like him possibly retaliate against? Bit someone? If Xia Jiaojiao wanted to, she could.

Well, it's pointless to ask. She already knew that this clay figure's greatest skill was endurance.

"Who gave you the wine? Or did you buy it yourself?"

Meng Donglai continued to shake his head: "I brewed it myself; yesterday was my 22nd birthday."

He dug out the wine jar in the morning, filled a bottle, and gave it to Grandpa Three-Eyed and Uncle Village Chief.

The rest are all in the wine jars.

"What about the remaining wine in the wine jar?"

"I finished it all, but today I discovered the wine jar is missing," Meng Donglai suddenly remembered this strange occurrence.

He used to lose things frequently, and he knew it was because people from the village were coming to his place to steal treasures.

But I didn't lose anything valuable, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Finding his wine jar will be a bit difficult; there are so many households in the village, it's impossible to search every single one.

It might even have been smashed and buried in some corner.

Since he couldn't find a breakthrough point, Li Jiaojiao had no choice but to leave.

It's already 2:30, and she needs to go find some pig feed.

"Xia...where are you going?" Meng Donglai wanted to keep her here, but dared not have too much hope.

"Go find pig feed."

Meng Donglai, holding an axe, said, "I'll go with you. There are often wild boars and monkeys in this forest."

Li Jiaojiao remained noncommittal, saying, "Go ahead and follow if you want."

"Don't come here alone in the future," Meng Donglai said awkwardly, trying to start a conversation with her.

"Why is this territory yours? You're the only one who can come, but I can't?"

Meng Donglai shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's because I was afraid you'd encounter danger, so I planted some steel teeth in this forest."

The animal traps he hid, no one would know where he buried them unless he told them.

The villagers didn't dare to wander around once they came in.

After walking around, there wasn't much pig feed in the bamboo grove.

She saw the pigweed and squatted down, intending to pull it out directly with her hands.

"No... these have tiny thorns," Meng Donglai stopped her. "Remember to wear gloves next time you go out. You have some in your closet."

He had seen it in her closet.

"You went into my dorm and went through my closet?"

Meng Donglai quickly shook his head: "I was right by the window. Your cabinet wasn't closed, and I saw your schedule posted on the cabinet door."

He originally wanted to see what farm work she had arranged in advance, and then he would do it.

Surprisingly, they were all cutting pig feed.

"Don't climb over the wall recklessly next time." She remembered that there were shards of glass embedded in the wall.

Meng Donglai used a knife to cut all the pig feed in this area, tied it up with vines, and gave it to her: "There are no thorns if you grab it by the head."

Her hands are so white and soft, she'll definitely get pricked.

"Don't be reluctant, or I won't give you any next time," Li Jiaojiao said slowly as she carried the pig feed away.

He scratched his head, still not understanding what she was talking about.

Meng Donglai noticed something in his pocket a while after he started cutting bamboo.

Looking down, I saw it was pineapple-flavored fruit hard candy.

He ate the candy, grinning foolishly, and carefully folded the wrapper back into his pocket.

I'll tell her I ate it myself next time I see her.

The children, even those who are only a little over ten years old, play while doing farm work here.

Seeing that Teacher Xia had only had this one bundle of pig feed after half an hour inside, they all looked worried.

"How come Teacher Xia only found so few?"

"Teacher Xia, how about I share some of mine with you?"

"Teacher Xia, let us take you to the place where we cut pig feed. There's plenty of pig feed there."

The children looked at her as if they had switched roles.

They are the junior teachers, while Xia Jiaojiao is an older student with poor grades.

"If they only bring back this little bit of pig feed, they'll definitely get a beating from their parents, who'll beat them with rattan canes."

Li Jiaojiao had no choice but to take them back to the educated youth settlement and let them see the fruits of their labor of "20 jin of pig feed." Although she hadn't cut it herself, it was still hers.

Teacher Xia was relieved when the children saw this.

"Teacher Xia, I'll take you to cut pig feed again tomorrow."

"Me too! Me too! I want to bring Teacher Xia with me!"

"Yes, Teacher Xia, please don't go into the bamboo forest."

The child said solemnly, "That Donglai is terrible. For the sake of the bamboo forest, he cleared away all the pig feed and weeds."

Their secret base was in front of the bamboo forest. They planned to play there while cutting pig feed, but there wasn't even enough pig feed to go around.

After observing, they discovered that the lack of pig feed in the bamboo forest was entirely due to Meng Donglai.

He was the one who cleared all the weeds.

Unfortunately, they couldn't openly complain, otherwise their parents would find out and give them a beating when they got home.

Bamboo groves should not have weeds.

The consensus in the village is to make the bamboo grow fast, plentiful, and of high quality.

Under Meng Donglai's care, the bamboo forest grew better and better, increasing everyone's extra income.

The reasonable people in the village were all very kind to him.

When Li Jiaojiao was putting pig feed into the basket, the group of children were helping her.

"Teacher Xia, I'll help you."

"I'll go first, I'll go first!"

Before the pig feed was even finished being packed, the children started arguing about it.

To avoid being accused of employing child labor, Li Jiaojiao gave each of them a piece of candy.

"If you eat candy, you have to go home, understand?"

The children all nodded.

"Let's go play 'Red Light, Green Light'!"

As soon as the topic of playing came up, the children immediately swarmed around and ran outside.

One child stayed behind.

"Teacher Xia..."

"What's wrong?" Li Jiaojiao asked as she put on her gloves to collect pig feed.

"Are you sick?"

Li Jiaojiao shook her head: "I'm not sick."

"Yesterday, Sister Li said you were sick and put medicine in your water bottle."

Li Jiaojiao's tone became cautious: "Which Sister Li? Is Silian the Sister Li who lives here?"

"Mmm," Quan Silian nodded emphatically.

"I do have a bit of a cold, I had no idea I was sick," Li Jiaojiao pretended to admit.

"Did Silian come here yesterday to deliver something to Sister Li?"

Quan Silian nodded: "My older brother asked me to send the sweet eggs."

Li Jiaojiao took out some milk candy from the room and fed it to her.

"The teacher doesn't want others to know she's sick, so please don't tell anyone, okay?"

Quan Silian had sugar in her mouth and didn't dare to chew.

"Eat up, this is a reward for you, you must keep your promise."

Quan Silian promised not to tell, and only then did she dare to chew the milk candy.

"Sweetie, go play with the statues outside after you finish eating," Li Jiaojiao rubbed her little head.

As long as the child doesn't tell anyone, she shouldn't be in any danger.

Quan Silian was from the Quan family in the west of the village, and Sister Li from the educated youth settlement was Li Miaohong.

Li Miaohong and Quan Lanxi got engaged last month and will hold their wedding banquet at the end of the year.

Li Miaohong has been working in the countryside for eight years, and she is the most senior among the educated youth in Jianshui Village.

Almost everyone calls her Sister Miao Hong.

The original owner had never offended Li Miaohong, and would share any good food she had.

Why would they inexplicably, yet so precisely, target her and Meng Donglai?
