Chapter 79 Mutual Confession
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately cheered.
Seeing everyone so happy, Shen Daqiang also became happy, "Alright, stop shouting and hurry up and get this big guy down."
"It would be a loss if it attracted something else."
Without hesitation, everyone rushed towards Black Bear.
Seven or eight people, each carrying a section, easily lifted the bear.
Just then, Shen Ping'an ran towards Shen Zhi, looking at him with concern and asking, "Second Uncle, are you alright?"
Seeing the worry in Shen Ping'an's eyes, Shen Zhi smiled reassuringly at him, "I'm fine."
Shen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."
"Let me help you with the basket," she said, extending her hand.
Looking at the thin, bony child who barely reached his shoulder, Shen Zhi said with a look of pity, "It's okay, I can carry it."
"Why did you come up here too?"
Children his age were not considered frontline fighters in their village.
A hint of sadness flashed in Shen Ping'an's eyes. "My father couldn't come, so my grandmother sent me instead."
Shen Zhi immediately understood what Shen Ping'an meant. Aunt Shen was a very particular person and usually hated owing favors to others.
Before his older brother got into trouble, whenever there was a big or small incident in anyone's family, his older brother would always be the first to rush to the front.
Since his older brother's accident, Shen Ping'an has become the pillar of the family.
Shen Ping'an would go to almost any household that needed someone to come, because Aunt Shen was particularly afraid of people saying that there was no one left in her family.
On the other hand, his family doesn't care much about this. In the past, whenever there was something going on in the village, he was always the first to step up. When he wasn't home, it was just Old Man Shen.
If Old Man Shen has something to do and can't go, then no one from his family will go.
Because both Shen's mother and sister-in-law were the kind of people who couldn't bear to see Shen Gui suffer.
Shen Gui came to help him with his wedding a few days ago, because they are brothers.
If Shen Gui doesn't come to help his own brother get married, he might as well give up his place in the village.
As they spoke, the group set off, with Shen Zhi leading Shen Ping'an along behind, swaying and staggering.
Xu Qinghe, who remained behind, could only hide in a corner and wait quietly because she did not understand animal language.
He didn't come out from the corner until he saw the light of the torch, and as soon as he came out, he saw the tallest and most conspicuous man.
Xu Qinghe's eyes widened in surprise; she couldn't understand how Shen Zhi had managed to blend into the crowd.
Shen Daqiang, who was walking at the front, noticed Xu Qinghe's surprise and explained with a smile, "Shen Zhi came up the mountain by chance. You can ask him for details later."
Xu Qinghe nodded slowly, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Shen Daqiang, "Brother Daqiang, where are you going?"
Shen Daqiang: "In the village."
Xu Qinghe: "Then could you tell my dad to send the child back? I won't go over there."
Shen Daqiang: "Okay."
After watching everyone leave, Xu Qinghe finally met Shen Zhi.
Looking at Xu Qinghe carrying a basket on her back and holding a bow and arrow, Shen Zhi couldn't help but feel sorry for her and asked, "Have you been guarding this place the whole time?"
Xu Qinghe: "Hmm, didn't you say you had something to do and would be back late? Why are you up on the mountain?"
Seeing Xu Qinghe's questioning gaze, Shen Zhi could only helplessly explain, "I wanted to take advantage of the free time tonight to go up the mountain to hunt some wild game, but I didn't expect to run into a black bear."
"Daqiang said Black Bear came by this afternoon. Were you injured?"
Xu Qinghe shook her head. "No."
"And you?"
Shen Zhi instinctively wanted to say no, but seeing Xu Qinghe's increasingly pale face, he softened his tone and said, "You got a scratch on your back, but it should be fine."
Seeing Shen Zhi's ragged appearance, Xu Qinghe could no longer control herself. She threw down her bow and arrows and rushed over, trying to tear off Shen Zhi's clothes. "I don't believe it, let me see."
Noticing Xu Qinghe's emotional breakdown, Shen Zhi quickly grasped her hands and explained in a low voice, "I'm really fine. My injuries are from black bears."
Seeing his sincerity, Xu Qinghe calmed down. "Really?"
Shen Zhi said, "Really, you must be tired after staying here for so long. Let's go home first." After saying that, he took Xu Qinghe's hand and walked home.
Xu Qinghe picked up the bow and arrows from the ground and obediently followed him home.
When Shen Zhi got home, he started cleaning the stains off his body. Xu Qinghe asked him while heating up the dishes.
"So, you're saying you killed the black bear that Daqiang and the others carried down?"
Shen Zhi: "Well, but I gave them everything except the bear paws and bear skin."
"I'm thinking that if we keep moving at this pace, it won't be good. If other animals take notice, it will be too dangerous."
"Instead of building houses step by step, it would be better to sell them to us and have them all help us. With more people, we can build faster."
To be honest, Xu Qinghe thought of this not long after they went up the mountain.
She originally planned to sell the he shou wu tomorrow to hire more people to build houses and speed up the process.
Unexpectedly, before it could be implemented, Shen Zhi had already predicted it.
"What do you think?" Shen Zhi asked casually when he saw that Xu Qinghe was not speaking for a long time.
Xu Qinghe: "That's good." Then, remembering something, she tentatively asked, "When you were killing Hei Xiazi, did you see a little red fox?"
Shen Zhi paused in drying her hair, somewhat surprised, and asked, "How did you know?"
Xu Qinghe chuckled dryly twice. "Never mind how I know, do you know where that little fox went?"
Shen Zhi glanced casually at the basket on his back and said, "I know."
As soon as Xu Qinghe saw his action, she immediately understood and grabbed the basket next to her to look inside.
The vengeful little fox was lying limply in the basket, clearly lifeless.
Xu Qinghe immediately felt relieved, because if the little fox wasn't eliminated, it would continue to threaten her.
This time it was able to get a black bear to help it, who knows if next time it might be able to get a tiger to take over its factory. If it keeps doing this, will it ever be able to go up the mountain again?
Fortunately, Shen Zhi spotted them and didn't let any of them go, so she was much safer going up the mountain from now on.
Just as Xu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Zhi sensed something and asked her, "Why do I feel like you know something?"
These words startled Xu Qinghe, who immediately dodged to the side, her face full of guilt as she said, "No, no, I don't think so."
Shen Zhi: "No?"
"How do you know for sure there will be a little fox with it?"
Seeing that she could no longer win the argument with Shen Zhi, Xu Qinghe also lost interest in arguing.
He grabbed his basket and took out the Polygonum multiflorum from it.
Shen Zhi was stunned when he saw the complete human-shaped He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) in Xu Qinghe's hand, a pair of male and female.
