Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Blacklist (560+) _1

Later, his wish was fulfilled!

The War of Resistance was victorious, the Liberation War was victorious, and the Korean War was victorious too!

He held a high position, but he did not enjoy such a life.

So, unencumbered, he returned home.

When he returned home once more, he learned of her circumstances!

His son had disappeared, and his husband was dead!

His calm heart stirred slightly! Maybe being able to watch her age peacefully was also a form of happiness.

Old Man Qi shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore.

As one grows old, upon opening the floodgates of memory, all sorts of past events surge forth before one’s eyes!

Don’t think about it any longer, today had been quite tiring, and it was time to rest well.

Professor Gu, Professor Wang also sighed, feeling fortunate in their hearts that they had encountered kind people, and could now live a quiet life in Qijia Village.

Old Man Bai, Zuo Li, and Xiang Rong were speechless for a long time!

"So, he is the man of all that pride and legend," Old Man Bai said with emotion, "Just after the founding of the nation, when everything needed to be rebuilt, many people were placed in important positions, but he was the only one who chose to leave, to step away from that circle of strife. We all thought he was already dead; we never expected that he would seclude himself in this peaceful Qijia Village."

"Perhaps this is the mark of a man who truly serves his country with a detached view of fame and fortune," Zuo Li said. "We were all ordinary people before, growing up listening to his stories."

"Yes, it’s true that hearing of someone is not as good as meeting them. I think I understand why we were sent here," Xiang Rong said. "It seems that those above hope that the Old Hero Qi can shelter us for the time being."

"Perhaps so," Old Man Bai said. "From now on, we must show even greater respect toward Second Brother Qi and must not show negligence."

Zuo Li and Xiang Rong smiled wryly; they were already in such a state, always being polite to others! How could they dare to neglect anyone?

He Tiantian lay on the bed, resting with her eyes closed!

The overseas connections were He Tiantian’s biggest threat, and they had been dealt with!

As for other threats, they were no longer strong enough to deliver a fatal blow to He Tiantian!

Although she had not punished Qi Jianguo this time, she had caused Qi Jianguo to be blacklisted by Village Chief Qi, Director Zhao, and Old Man Qi.

From now on, it wouldn’t just be her on guard against Qi Jianguo; these men would be too. The subsequent matters were simple; she just had to instigate trouble amongst them, ensuring that Qi Jianguo would have a rough and miserable time.

However, He Tiantian did not encounter Qi Jianguo this time. Next time she saw him, she would definitely find a secluded place to beat him up thoroughly, to show him who’s boss. She, He Tiantian, was no pushover, no easy target!

"Gulu gulu mi..." He Tiantian muttered, she needed to thank the Snake King properly.

This time, it was thanks to the Snake King that He Tiantian had the physical and mental energy to handle these matters!

"Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour, what are you up to?" the Snake King spoke irritably, disrupting its cultivation.

There was no choice, the spiritual energy in this plane of existence was nonexistent; one had to rely on oneself for cultivation, and diligence was necessary!

Seeing the Snake King’s unhappy tone, He Tiantian hastily tried to please it, "Snake King, thank you for your hard work! I’ve decided to go to the mountain tomorrow to see if I can catch some game. As you know, the villagers have helped me, and I, as a young lady, have no way to repay them except to find something in the mountains to give back to everyone."

"Hmph!" the Snake King was displeased. "Isn’t it me who will be doing all the work?"

"Yes! Thank you for your hard work, Snake King." He Tiantian said with a grin, "The misery of my past life has changed, and it is all thanks to the Snake King. This humble girl is eternally grateful. May I eat more meat and offer more blood to the Snake King as a token of my gratitude?"

"Remember, you asked me for this favor, not the other way around." The Snake King said coquettishly, as if only at this moment it could demonstrate its dignified status as the Snake King.

He Tiantian nodded vigorously, crisply responding, "Yes, yes, it is the humble girl who begs for the Snake King’s grace!"

The Snake King raised its proud head, looking quite pleased and noble!

"All right then!" The Snake King finally conceded, "Is there anything else? If not, I’m off to cultivate!"

"Sweetie respectfully sees off the Snake King!" He Tiantian said obsequiously, "Wishing the Snake King an early achievement of great mastery in cultivation!"

"Hehe..."

A sequence of sly laughter indicated that the Snake King was in a great mood!

He Tiantian successfully persuaded the Snake King and, with nothing to worry about, went to sleep peacefully.

During this time, He Tiantian had been on edge and hadn’t had a proper rest. Now relaxed, she woke up the next day after nine in the morning, the sunlight streaming into the room, a bit dazzling.

Upon seeing He Tiantian awake, Third Grandma Qi hurriedly called her to eat.

"I’ve already eaten. This is for you," Third Grandma Qi said, "You’ve had a hard time these past days!"

"Hehe, thankfully, it’s all over now," He Tiantian laughed, "Grandma Qi, I’ll go to the back mountain later to see if there are any rabbits or pheasants. If I’m lucky, I’ll catch a few to nourish you."

"Hehe, don’t go too deep into the dense woods. Just walk around the foot of the mountain. It’s winter now, and those animals lack food as well," Third Grandma Qi reminded her, "Besides, it’s not safe for you to go alone to the mountain. Take a few more people with you."

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Sure thing! Uncle Zuo and Uncle Xiang probably can’t sit still anyway. I’ll persuade them to come with me."

"With people accompanying you, it’s much safer," Third Grandma Qi said with a smile, looking at He Tiantian affectionately.

After eating, He Tiantian started gathering her things and headed to the animal husbandry team.

Qi Xiaoyan had been waiting at the door for He Tiantian to pass by!

"You’re really late today; did you oversleep?" Qi Xiaoyan complained, "These past few days Qi Fangfang went to visit relatives, and I need to hurry and take advantage of her absence to learn more from Professor Wang."

Only then did He Tiantian realize she hadn’t seen Qi Jianguo, Qi Fangfang, not even Accountant Qi Shuli for the past few days. It turned out they had already gone to visit relatives ahead of time, and the village incident had nothing to do with them, at least on the surface!

She had underestimated Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli!

He Tiantian pursed her lips in a smile, linking arms with Qi Xiaoyan, and said, "Alright, then let’s hurry. You study well with Professor Wang, and I’ll go up to the mountain with Uncle Zuo and Uncle Xiang to catch some game to replenish you!"

"That sounds great, I’ve been missing the taste of air-dried pheasant, it’s really delicious," Qi Xiaoyan said, indicating her preference.

For her close friend, fulfilling this small request was certainly possible.

In the animal husbandry team’s yard, people were chopping fodder, chatting and chuckling.

Upon hearing that He Tiantian was going to the back mountain, Aunt Liu was delighted and said, "We can handle the chores here at the animal husbandry team. Girl Tian, go ahead; whether we can have meat today depends on you."

"Ah! Then I’ll do my best!" He Tiantian said with a smile, "Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang, are you going?"

In fact, with the Snake King around, He Tiantian could probably take care of everything with just a sickle. But today, He Tiantian wanted to get not just rabbits or pheasants but also a big wild boar. If it were only He Tiantian, others might not believe she had such ability. Bringing Xiang Rong and Zuo Li with her, claiming it was a group effort, they could face any skepticism with them covering the front.
