Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Xiao Zhixue curled her lips slightly, and a barely perceptible confidence flashed across her brows. Her ability to recognize roads was indeed not to be underestimated, and she could navigate with ease even in this intricate forest.

Naturally, Fan Yanmu chose to follow him. She did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.

The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting patches of light on the shoulders of the two people.

Xiao Zhixue walked through the lush forest, one step deep and one step shallow. Her eyes were like two pearls searching for treasures, trying to catch any trace of the herbs.

However, as time passed, what they harvested was not the expected herbs, but a field of thriving wild vegetables.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but smile to herself, and then she showed her skilled collecting skills, and soon filled the whole bag.

Fan Yanmu, who was watching quietly at the side, had his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face. He seemed to be happy with all this, but was not in a hurry to participate in person.

His eyes followed Xiao Zhixue's movements, appearing both leisurely and full of interest.

Just as the two were immersed in this unexpected harvest, Xiao Zhixue's eyes were attracted by the clusters of mushrooms under the shade of the trees.

She suddenly had an idea and pointed to the mushroom patch: "Master Fan, you can't just watch and not practice, right? The mushrooms over there are growing well, why don't you contribute a little?"

When Fan Yanmu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he smiled gently.

His movements were smooth and fluid. In a short while, he had picked all the mushrooms, a full handful, and gently placed it in Xiao Zhixue's hand.

The two continued to move forward, stopping occasionally along the way. The wild vegetables and mushrooms in their hands accumulated more and more, gradually forming two small hills.

Just as Xiao Zhixue was wondering whether to use her spatial ability, she turned around and met Fan Yanmu's deep eyes.

So she secretly suppressed the impulse.

Suddenly, a subtle but dense buzzing sound filled the air. Looking up, I saw a huge beehive hanging on a branch not far away.

Xiao Zhixue's heart skipped a beat, the temptation of honey lingering in her mind.

How to outsmart the bees and avoid being besieged became a big problem in her mind.

Fan Yanmu keenly noticed Xiao Zhixue's expectant look.

As she looked towards the beehive, Fan Yanmu said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, are you greedy for the honey?"

Xiao Zhixue nodded heavily, with hope glimmering in her eyes.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Fan Yanmu said in a firm tone and made a promise with full confidence.

When Xiao Zhixue heard this, she could hardly suppress her joy. Fan Yanmu, who always had the aura of a protagonist, was finally going to show his true skills.

She deliberately gave him a slightly teasing look, "Don't make such boasts, Mr. Fan. If we accidentally piss off the bees, we might end up turning into 'swollen-headed dolls'."

Fan Yanmu just smiled without saying anything. He stretched out his body, jumped lightly onto the tree trunk, and approached the beehive which was full of dangers step by step.

When he was just inches away from the beehive, he took a deep breath, his aura suddenly increased, and he swung out with one palm. His internal energy turned into an invisible power wave, and the bees fell to the ground one after another.

When he returned safely to the ground with the beehive, Xiao Zhixue was surprised to find that all the bees had fallen into a coma.

"Time is running out. We have to leave quickly before the bee swarm recovers."

Fan Yanmu held the spoils in his hand, and his words were filled with urgency.

Xiao Zhixue nodded hurriedly, and the two of them turned back quickly. On the way, she had an irrepressible smile on her lips, and her mind was filled with the sweetness that was about to come.

When they returned to the place where everyone was resting, the honeycomb in Fan Yanmu's hand immediately attracted the admiring gazes of the people around him.

He sat casually on the ground, preparing to use a dagger to shave off the outer shell of the beehive, as if he was going to discard it.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Zhixue was quick-witted and grabbed his wrist. "This honeycomb shell is also a treasure. How can we throw it away so easily?"

She carefully wrapped the honeycomb shell in a soft cloth, made sure no one was paying attention, and quickly moved it to her private little world.

Feeling Fan Yanmu's puzzled look, she curled up a faint smile and patiently explained: "This humble honeycomb shell contains natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients. It is a rare natural medicine for daily minor abrasions on the skin."

When Fan Yanmu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his brows. It was obvious that he had never expected that the hard shell outside the honeycomb would contain such wonderful uses.

He watched intently and saw Xiao Zhixue's fingers nimbly moving between the golden honey and the honeycomb, separating them carefully.

She couldn't help but speed up her movements, while urging the people around her to prepare to set off as soon as possible.

On the way, a bold idea gradually emerged in the village chief's mind.

He planned to resign as village chief and recommend Xiao Zhixue to take over.

This idea quietly took root in his mind until it became unshakable.

When the village chief made this idea public, he was not met with doubts but enthusiastic approval from the villagers.

"Miss Xiao, you treat us like brothers and sisters and have rescued us from danger many times. Who else could be more suitable to be the future leader of Shangqiao Village except you?"

Zhang held the lively little Chen'er's hand and expressed her firm stance.

Even Mrs. Lu, who was lying on the simple cart, struggled to stand up and said, "Miss Xiao, I will always remember your careful care. If you become the village chief, you will definitely be my first vote of approval."

The village chief's son Lu Li felt mixed emotions as he watched his wife gradually recover.

Thanks to Xiao Zhixue's selfless help, his wife's health has improved significantly. He will always remember this kindness.

Facing the support of her fellow villagers, Xiao Zhixue gently raised her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I am very grateful for everyone's kindness, but I know I am not suitable for the important role of village chief."

She humbly expressed her concerns. After all, as an outsider, how could she easily take on such a heavy responsibility, especially on the road to escape?

Seeing Xiao Zhixue's firm attitude, the village chief stopped forcing her.

However, in his heart, Xiao Zhixue was already the leader who made the right judgment at the critical moment.

From now on, before making any decision, he will seek her opinion and regard it as the most important reference.

"Since Miss Xiao has made up her mind, we will respect your choice and move on."

Although the village chief's words were simple, they contained recognition and respect for Xiao Zhixue's abilities.

Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue walked side by side and whispered, "Faced with such a responsibility and trust, why don't you seize the opportunity?"

In Fan Yanmu's opinion, the calmness and decisiveness shown by Xiao Zhixue are exactly the qualities necessary to become an excellent leader.

Xiao Zhixue whispered softly: "If I really become the village chief, my steps will be shackled by invisible chains, and I will lose the freedom to follow the wind and do whatever I want. Now I am free and can do whatever my heart desires. Isn't it beautiful?"
