As soon as the two entered the place, the chickens became excited and ran over from all over the orange grove.

"Oh, there are so many!" Feng Xueshan looked amused: "There must be dozens of them, right?"

"There are still some small ones!" Zhou Zhi sprinkled chicken food with a cluck of chicken food. After scattering, he went to shovel two scoops of corn from a nearby shed and sprinkled it on the ground: "Go and look for the grass nests beside the thin bamboo bushes.

there must be."

There is no need to go, because the chicks have already followed their mothers out, staggering over and imitating the big chickens in pecking the millet bran.

"So cute!" Feng Xueshan squatted down, picked up a yellow and fluffy chick in the palm of her hand, and took out a little remaining rice bran from the bottom of the dustpan with her other hand: "Here you can eat."

The chicken chirped and pecked twice, its tender beak making Feng Xueshan giggle.

Then the food seemed unable to withstand the mother's care. The chick flapped its wings twice, jumped out from Feng Xueshan's hand, and rejoined the group of brothers and sisters.

Feng Xueshan clapped her hands: "It's so fun."

Zhou Zhi turned the dustpan over and patted it clean: "Let's go find eggs."

"Is there such a good thing?" Feng Xueshan suddenly became excited.

The two began to search in tree roots, grass, and nests on trees, and soon found quite a few.

Zhou Zhi put the newly found eggs into the dustpan: "Xue Shan, actually I have been looking for a chance to ask you these past few days... I gave you the book, why did you give it to Shu Yi?"

"Because I don't want to owe you."

"But you also gave it to me, so I can only call it a gift in return, right?"

Feng Xueshan stood up with a slightly proud expression on her face: "So now you owe me, but I don't owe you?"

"Ah this..."

"Don't you understand? You're still a writer." Feng Xueshan glanced at Zhou Zhi with disdain, then turned and walked outside: "So I was right to give that book to Shu Yi, but you are a complete fool!"

"You can always owe me, or wait until one day you really understand and give me another gift, and we will be even."

Even Zhou Zhi, a man of two generations, couldn't figure out what Feng Xueshan meant by what he said now. He felt like he had been crushed by a tank in this regard, and his whole body was in bad shape.

"What... what do you mean, please explain clearly... I don't quite understand..."

"You are only a little higher than Luke O'Neill now. You haven't even reached the level Fiona was at after Paddy died. You are even further away from Meggie and Ralph..."

"Hey!" I don't know who asked me not to imitate Ralph when I was drunk: "Why don't you just say that I don't understand feelings and that's the end of it? Why go through such complicated things?"

"Well, that's what it means."

"..."

After looking for some more eggs, I felt that nothing was missing. Zhou Zhi picked up the dustpan and said, "It's almost done. Let's go back."

"Well, it's really fun to feed chickens here."

The two of them walked in tandem. Zhou Zhi watched Feng Xueshan jumping up and down the stone steps in front of him, and asked in as casual a tone as possible: "Xueshan...you have never liked me, right?"

Feng Xueshan turned her head: "What do you think?"

"I think... judging from the timeline... it shouldn't be possible, huh?"

"Then let me answer you seriously now. If you mean that level... no."

"That's good." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she was kicked by Feng Xueshan: "What the hell kind of attitude do you have?! I'm so exhausted if I really like you! Also, don't think you can avoid debt this way, you still owe me!"

"Be careful with the eggs! What are you doing?!" After Zhou Zhi took this blow, he felt relaxed and turned into a playful smile again: "I owe you, I owe you and I don't have any psychological pressure at all..."

When they were approaching the big wooden house, Feng Xueshan turned around again and looked at the green forest behind Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, actually... you and Shu Yi are not suitable for each other."

Zhou Zhi's heart skipped a beat: "Why?"

Feng Xueshan then turned her gaze to Zhou Zhi: "Because you are too unequal. If you don't care, it doesn't matter. But I don't think you are that kind of person."

"What's the meaning?"

"Think carefully about what the relationship between Yan Shu and Yong Mei is like." Feng Xueshan sighed: "Jiuzi, you really have to think about it. What you did... is too bad."

"Then what should I do?"

"How do I know about the two of you?" Feng Xueshan said: "I only know that what you are doing is wrong, but what is right, you can only do this yourself."

"I know you like Shu Yi very much, and Shu Yi likes you even more, but there seems to be a layer between you... you don't even understand each other, let alone understand each other."

Feng Xueshan frowned: "I don't know what's stopping you, but this is my intuition."

At this moment, Zhou Zhi felt that Feng Xueshan was simply a demigod. Zhou Zhi was unable to solve this confusion in his previous life until the end.

And now, he also vaguely feels this problem.

Then I became even more entangled in my heart. Who in the previous life could allow Feng Xueshan, who was so "professional" in this field, to make such a decisive choice?

Zhou Zhi now regrets that he did not inquire about the details of that incident, but now he has no way of knowing it.

Who was that person? When did they start? What happened in the middle? How could it have been avoided?

Looking at Feng Xueshan's rosy face, Zhou Zhi felt deeply worried.

"Xue Shan, you are in the Plumbing and Electricity School, have you got a boyfriend yet?"

"No, it's not like no one is following me! I've been reading the book you gave me this semester."

"Then..." Zhou Zhi asked tentatively: "Do you think among the people who came together this time...such as Lao Mu, the monk you have praised several times, and the handsome man, he is not talented..."

These people know Zhou Zhi better and should not do anything to cause Xueshan pain.

"What do you mean?" Feng Xueshan started to glare, her tone full of malice: "What do you want to do?"

"No, no!" Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "I'm talking nonsense! I deserve to die! We're done here!"

"Hmph! You know what's going on!" Feng Xueshan then turned around and continued to lead the way.

The two of them had only walked a few steps, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but say: "Actually, I really feel that the kind of male protagonist in Qiong Yao's novels does not exist at all, and the so-called love at first sight is not reliable at all."

"Emotions should gradually develop through mutual contact, then deepen step by step, and finally work together to maintain..."

"If Yan Xiao came to tell me this, then it is true. If it comes from your mouth, then I don't know which book it was read in."

Feng Xueshan didn't even bother to reply: "Wen Yu has already told me that your feelings for Shu Yi are just love at first sight, past and present?"

"Ah this..." Zhou Zhi suddenly felt bad again, complaining in his heart how could Fang Wenyu tell Feng Xueshan this, wouldn't this add fuel to the fire?

"Didn't I think that Wenyu didn't know that Panda already had a boyfriend, so I wanted to find him a lower step to make him feel better..."

"Oh?" Feng Xueshan stopped by a clump of bamboo, then turned to look at Zhou Zhi: "Okay, I'm not here now, so tell me again - your feelings for Shu Yi are not like that."

"I..." Zhou Zhi looked at Feng Xueshan's pink face and felt speechless.

"So love at first sight does exist, right?" Feng Xueshan showed a victorious smile on her face.

"Forget it, I'd better go back and feed the pigs..." Zhou Zhi, holding a large basket in his hand, felt like he was completely defeated: "I really can't tell you..."

Back in the yard, everyone was already up. Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao discovered a new game, which was to throw wooden sticks and let two barbarians and three barbarians pick them back. The two of them and the two dogs had a great time playing on the dam.

The girls seemed to have met up and had just returned from a walk. They picked a lot of wild flowers. Zhang Xinyi and He Yongmei were arranging vases, while Jiang Shuyi and Ye Xin were advising on the side.

Wei Fei also found something interesting and was happily asking Yang He to teach him how to chop firewood.

I saw the ax drawing a twisting line in the air, and "pop!" The firewood flew away as expected.

"Kaishan'er is lifted too high." Zhou Zhi pointed out when he saw it. The ax is called "Kaishan'er" in Jiachuan dialect: "Just leave the wood a little bit, and use weight and inertia to solve the problem. Strength is for lifting, not for using force."

Come to chop."

"Bah!" A piece of firewood was split into two pieces. Wei Fei was now proud: "It turns out it's not my fault. It's because the monk couldn't teach me."

Mu Ruyun came out of the pigsty carrying two empty wooden barrels. It was obvious that he could no longer wait for Zhou Zhi to come back and feed them again.

When Father Mu and Uncle Qiu came back from the courtyard, Mother Mu said, "Everyone is here, let's have breakfast."

"Auntie, we collected a lot of eggs."

"Put it under the eaves. I'll clean it up later."

"The two barbarians and the three barbarians..."

"They won't steal it."

Yan Xiao's eyes were no longer on the two barbarians and the three barbarians, because Father Mu and Uncle Qiu carried two long spears on their backs: "Uncle Mu, are you going hunting?"

"How can hunting be so easy?" Mu's father took off his gun and leaned it against the wooden wall beside the main room. He also took off the diagonal horn tube and the cloth-covered bamboo tube: "Just go and shout at the wild animals and drive them back."

Everyone began to sit down and eat, including sweet potato porridge, corn steamed buns, eggs, red tofu, tempeh and a few other side dishes.

"Everyone is going to play for a while. Don't go too far. Just stay on the side of the road and don't go into the woods. Daman. I'll take the two and three barbarians with me later."

Fang Wenyu asked: "Uncle, can we use the gun?"

Mu's father smiled and said: "You can use the empty gun, but you can't play around with the medicine and the belt. Firefighting is not for fun."

After dinner, Daman, Erman and Sanman took everyone to patrol the mountains.

In fact, the roads in the forest farm are much easier to walk than everyone thinks. In many places where you cross streams, there are large and thick logs on the ground as small bridges.

The sunlight slants in from outside the forest, giving the forest farm a fairyland feel.
