Chapter 116 An unavoidable fate

"Good luck is also a kind of strength."

Gu Yan wolfed down the chestnut rice in the bowl. It tasted good, but he wanted to test the poison himself.

If it's really okay, it means this thing is edible.

After eating, Gu Yan wiped his mouth with a square towel, "I will report this to King Jing, and you can wait to receive the reward!"

He couldn't wait to leave, and when they left, Tao Xi rolled his eyes at Jian Shiming angrily.

"What did you mean by that look in your eyes just now?"

"You know, I don't want other people to know that you know this thing."

Jian Shiming understood that no matter how he explained it, others might not believe it.

He looked at his brothers and sisters warningly, "You must remember not to talk nonsense about your sister-in-law outside in the future."

"Brother, don't worry, I will remember it firmly."

Jian Erni will never allow anyone to harm her sister-in-law, including themselves.

Jian Shiwu and Jian Shiyi also nodded hurriedly. Their expressions were serious, which made Tao Xi feel warm in his heart.

It seems that her initial decision was not wrong, at least at this moment they are wholeheartedly supporting her.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, and she doesn't want to think about it.

Tao Xi chuckled and said, "Okay, we haven't finished lunch yet, Erni, go get our share."

"good!"

Jian Erni happily brought out the half-eaten chestnut chicken. Although it was a little cold, it still tasted good.

Everyone finished their lunch happily and were busy packing away the chestnuts in the afternoon.

The fur balls outside the chestnuts are used by Tao Xi to nourish the soil, and then the chestnuts are spread out in a ventilated place.

This way it can be stored for two to three months, during which time they won’t have to worry about eating it!

Tao Xi felt happy after solving the problem of food and clothing, and happily ran to the backyard to see the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted.

In just a few days, the sweet potato sprouts have sprouted. It seems that the sprouts spawned by her powers will grow more easily.

While she was watering, she quietly used her wood power to spawn potatoes and sweet potatoes, but she didn't dare to go too far, so it wasn't very obvious.

After finishing, she just turned around and suddenly found Jian Shiming standing there. She didn't know if he saw what she did just now.

Tao Xi said angrily: "Why don't you make any footsteps when you walk? Don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

Jian Shiming apologized directly, which made Tao Xi feel a little uncomfortable. This guy was a bit obedient now.

"You...what do you want from me?"

"Wang Zhou sent some chestnuts. Do you want to go out and talk to him?"

Jian Shiming's voice was low, and there was nothing unusual about it. Tao Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "I've finished watering, let's go out."

When we came to the front yard, sure enough, Wang Zhou was holding the chestnuts he picked up today and even some wild mushrooms.

"Sister Tao, I still have some at home, you can keep them."

He is growing taller now, he is quick to pick up chestnuts and picks up more chestnuts than others.

Jian Erni helplessly opened her hands to Tao Xi, "He won't listen to me. Sister-in-law, you should do it."

"Xiaozhou, thank you for your kindness, but we already have a lot of chestnuts at home, so you can keep them for yourself."

Tao Xi understood that Wang Zhou was so persistent because he just wanted to thank them. This was all he had now, so he gave them all he had.

Wang Zhou lowered his eyes in despair, "I want to thank you, but this is all I have."

"If you really want to thank us, then live a good life."

Tao Xi sighed and added: "You see the villagers can't afford the seed money, so I let everyone pay for it on credit.

Can we talk about other things when life gets better?"

She really couldn't bear to ask them to accept the food that Wang Zhou had managed to get and let the child starve.

Child Jian Shiyi said straightforwardly: "We have a lot of chestnuts at home, you can eat them yourself."

"good."

Wang Zhou reluctantly agreed and left with a backpack on his back. Jian Erni couldn't help but sigh.

"He is also from the sister-in-law's gang, but he is much better than Chunhua."

Speaking of Chun Hua, everyone thought of how pitiful and hateful she never came out again that day when Earth Dragon turned over.

It was just a small episode in life. Everyone quickly forgot about the spring flowers. People in Taomu Village were working hard to live their lives.

At night, after Erni fell asleep, Tao Xi quietly entered the space again. Looking at the chestnut in the palm of his hand, Tao Xi slowly activated his powers.

Then a scene that made Tao Xi happy appeared. Young shoots in the chestnut gradually broke through the chestnut shell and soon grew as long as Tao Xi's fingertips.

She quickly carried the chestnut seeds to the edge of the space, far away from the other fruit trees, then dug a hole and planted the chestnut tree.

One tree was too small, so she followed the same example and planted another one. The previously barren space has now been reclaimed by her.

Tao Xi harvested a wave of grain with satisfaction, ate something casually, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Since picking up chestnuts that day, everyone has been more diligent in going to the mountains, but no one dares to go into the mountains alone, and they usually go together in groups.

However, with basic food, everyone is not as anxious as before, but they are all living hard.

But one day, they suddenly discovered that a group of people came down from the foot of the mountain opposite, and they seemed to be brought here by the county magistrate.

Everyone in Taomu Village looked over curiously and found some familiar faces, such as Mrs. Jian from the old Jian family.

As well as Jian Laosan and Jian Sanniangzi, these are the people from Jian Sanniang's village.

Li Zheng immediately told Jian Shiming and Tao Xi about the matter. Tao Xi's face darkened when he heard this.

No, it took only such a short time to get rid of this burden, but I didn't expect that they would actually settle across from their village.

Although there is still quite a distance, it still looks strange.

It is truly a fate that cannot be avoided.

Tao Xi and the others stood watching the excitement from a distance. Looking from a distance, they saw that Mrs. Jian was in an extremely embarrassed state. It seemed that she had not been having a good time during this period.

His hair was unkempt, he even had no energy at all, and he staggered when he walked.

Even the high-spirited Jian Laosan in the past seems to be a different person now, with dull eyes. The only one who is better is probably Mrs. Jian.

But it's just a comparison. In fact, it's very embarrassing, and I don't know what these people have gone through.

The village that used to have more people than their Taomu Village, now has a sharp decrease in the number of people, and everyone is drooping their heads.

However, no matter how bad her eyes were, Mrs. Jian actually saw Tao Xi and his family from such a long distance away.

"Brother Ming, Brother Wu, Brother Yi!"

Mrs. Jian shouted and ran towards this side very excitedly. Mr. Jian hurriedly chased her.

"mother!"

The two of them were a little swollen from hunger, so they didn't run very fast. Everyone in Taomu Village had already made a tacit agreement to protect Jian Shiming and his family in the middle.
