tains have mostly retreated deep into the mountains. There wouldn't be any animals coming down to steal vegetables."Jade Lotus also agreed, saying that since the drought began, they hadn't seen any sm...The villagers also heard the commotion and came running over. They weren't like Zong Hu and Tie Zhu who came with a helping heart.

They're all just here for the excitement.

After all, they had never seen the scene of Zong Yu hunting before, what if they could still get some meat to eat

More than one person holds this idea.

They all gathered around at this moment. This python was a full ten meters long, massive! They each had joyful smiles on their faces and showered the iron pillar with praise.

"Iron Pillar, you kid, you're really something!"

"That's right, Tie Zhu Ge, you guys are amazing! You actually managed to kill such a big snake."

"What does snake meat taste like Tie Zhu is the village chief's son, he will share the snake meat with us to eat, right" someone asked in a low voice, their tone full of uncertainty but also eagerly anticipating a free meal.

Fang Jinxiu coldly scanned the group of people, finding them laughable.

When I called people out for patrol before, they were all cowardly and lacked a sense of unity. They only cared about their own lives.

Now that they've truly killed a ferocious beast, there's meat to be had, and one by one, they all rush over.

Iron pillar was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, who bombarded him with questions, leaving him unsure which one to answer first.

Fang Jinshu's lips were pursed tightly, but no one noticed her mood.

Suddenly, a large hand grasped hers. She turned her head and saw Zong Yu.

"Don't get angry, you don't want to give it, and no one else can take a piece of snake scale from my hand."

Zong Yu's nonchalant remark immediately extinguished Fang Jinxiu's anger.

In fact, she's not really such a stingy person. She just doesn't want to give good things away cheaply to this group of cowardly and ungrateful ingrates.

She dared to vouch with her own eyes that even if they generously distributed the snake meat to everyone in the village today, these people wouldn't remember Zongyu for a single bit of good.

Just like the time he led the team to dig irrigation ditches up the mountain.

He wasn't supposed to be responsible for that, but because he was honest and few words, and could handle ferocious beasts, people treated him as if it were a given that he should protect them.

Zongyu's reputation was that he looked intimidating, but after getting to know him these past few days, she realized he was actually a very gentle and reliable person.

This ignorant group of villagers would bully him; she wasn't someone who was easy to get along with.

She wouldn't share the snake meat with the villagers, not even if they scolded her to death.

But to Fang Jinshi's surprise, the first person to discover the crux of the problem and stand up for them was surprisingly the slender Song Changhé.

"You, you guys don't go too far."

This python wasn't killed by Tiezhu, it was hunted and killed together by Zong Erge and Jinshu's sister.

"The snake meat belongs to Zong Erge and his wife. Why are you guys coming to take a share"

This kid's legs were visibly trembling as he spoke, yet he didn't back down. He endured the angry glares of the villagers and finished his words.

Fang Jinshi couldn't help but lean into Zong Yu's ear and whisper, "This Chang He kid is quite righteous."

Zongyu nodded slightly, as if pondering something.

I thought about it and added, "I'll give him some snake meat later."

He was also very righteous and repaid his righteousness with snake meat.

Fang Jinxiu didn't notice the faint sourness, instead she nodded. "No problem, Changhe isn't easy either. He has a sick mother at home too. I'll give him some extra meat later."

Zong Yu lowered his eyes and nodded without replying.

Could it be that she likes handsome young boys

Zong Yu lowered his head to look at his strong limbs, the corners of his mouth slightly tightening.

"Song Changhe, you have no say here!"

We all saw it with our own eyes. Just now, Tiezhu was standing next to the giant python. Even if he didn't kill it completely, Tiezhu definitely helped a lot.

“Didn’t we agree that the people who patrolled and hunted could split the spoils evenly” Li Gouzi, having forgotten the pain of his wounds with the snake venom cleared, was jumping around again.

His few words left Tie Zhu very embarrassed. Just as he was about to step forward to explain, Fang Jinxiu interrupted him.

"Yeah, a draw."

She looked at Li Gouzi with a half-smile, "You're right, we did agree that the prey would be split evenly."

"But what does that have to do with you"

"Even if we split the snake meat equally, we'd only give it to Tiezhu and the others. Only those who participate in patrols get to share the snake meat. What are you all getting so excited about"

Let me know if you need anything else translated!oyue nodded.As soon as Fang Jinshi finished speaking, the little guy had already climbed onto her leg with a grunt, holding onto her mother's neck and pouting his small mouth to give her a soft and sw...
