Instead, he went to the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hill where the children were herding the cow. It was summer vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui was responsible for the Little Cattle King and his mother. He\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would lead them to the grass at the mountain top early in the morning The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two cattle were very intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they would lie down under the tree to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rest, especially under the sun. They were enjoying themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a hot day, the mother and son were still cuddling by each\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>other’s side. They didn’t want to be separated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the mother was almost slaughtered. Therefore, the calf stuck close\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to his mom. Only when he saw his mother by his side did he feel safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gong Tianhao saw the two cows cuddling together on the mountain, his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around but did not find Xiao Xiaohui. He frowned slightly. Then, he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>called out, “Xiao Xiaohui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui was leaning against a big tree and sleeping soundly. When he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>heard someone call his name, he immediately woke up and asked in a loud and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>alert voice, “Who, who is calling me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s me!” Gong Tianhao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui walked out from under the tree. When he saw Gong Tianhao\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2ssed in a clean white shirt, he frowned and asked curiously, “Uncle Gong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why are you here\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Big Brother Gong!” Gong Tianhao corrected Xiao Xiaohui’s way of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>addressing him again. He said seriously, “Tm going to marry your sister. You\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>should call me Big Brother now, but in the future, you’ll have to call me\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t like Xiao Xiaohui calling him Uncle. It sounded so distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui was not afraid of him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pursed his lips and said, “Uncle Gong, after you marry my sister, Ill call you\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Gong”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sister was such an outstanding person. No man was worthy of him. He\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wouldn’t admit that Uncle Gong was worthy of his sister. In Xiao Xiaohu?’s\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>heart, his sister was perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao did not want to argue with Xiao Xiaohui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around and asked curiously, “Xiaohui, are you alone here?” If he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>remembered correctly, many children herded cows together. Ever since people\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knew about the Little Cattle King, they would send at least three children above\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ten years old to herd the Little Cattle King and his mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xiao Lingyu and the villagers worried about the Little Cattle King\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xiao Lingyu promised that everyone who herded cows with Xiao\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaohui would get five RMB. But the money was a small matter. The most\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>important thing was safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more people, they could keep an eye on each other. There were around\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ten children in the village. They all reported for duty. They took the herding\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>duty in shifts. Some did it in the morning, and the others would take over in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the leader was always Xiao Xiaohui. He would always be there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui was worried about his other companions herding the cows. He\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>felt that the other kids didn’t care about the cattle as much as he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Xiao Lingyu was worried too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Little Light belonged to her family. If he was lost, who could she\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>blame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>of course, with the intelligence of the cattle, the possibility of them getting\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lost was relatively slight The greater possibility was them being stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Cattle King was the village’s kept secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But people were all selfish and greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers’ relatives came and went. The villagers might be convinced by\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>outsiders to do something stupid. Someone might come to steal the Little\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattle King. That would be big trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Xiao Lingyu asked for a group of cow-herders because the kids\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could monitor each other. One shouldn’t harm others, but one should always\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Xiaohui all alone, Gong Tianhao was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui touched the back of his head and said, “They have all gone up the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mountain to look for bird eggs.” Actually, Xiao Xiaohui wanted to go too, but it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was his turm to guard the Little Cattle King, so he did not dare to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao frowned. “What if someone comes to steal the Little Cattle King\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when you’re here all alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui shook his head and said, “Uncle Gong, don’t worry. My friends\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>won’t go far. If someone wants to harm Little Light, Ill scream, and they’1l run\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>back immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao shook his head and said, “No, that is not right. It is very\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>dangerous for both the cattle and you kids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui looked at Gong Tianhao, full of confusion. He asked, “Uncle Gong,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>dangerous? What kind of danger will we encounter in this mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao touched Xiao Xiaohu?’s small head and said very seriously, “The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>adult’s world is very complicated and dangerous. If some bad guy wants to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>come to steal the Little Cattle King, they will come prepared. If they see only\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one person guarding the Little Cattle King, they might kidnap both the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cow-herder and Little Light. How would the kid have time to call for help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui was puzzled, “Ah?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao felt that it was necessary to explain the danger to them clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he had to discuss it with Xiao Lingyu. Since the Little Cattle King had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>been exposed, it was highly dangerous. How could they only let a few kids\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>watch over him? In fact, the kids might be placed in danger because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao said, “Xiaohui, call all your friends over. Big Brother Gong has\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui rubbed his head and nodded obediently. “Alright, Uncle Gong, I’ll\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>call them over now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he ran towards a small path and shouted at the intersection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Bun, Little Charcoal, come back. Uncle Gong has something to tell us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he heard someone reply, “Okay, we’ re coming”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Little Bun and Little Charcoal appeared. They were holding\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao looked and saw that one of them was holding a few bird eggs\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the other was holding a gecko. Gong Tianhao shivered when he saw the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>gecko in Little Charcoal’s hands. The thing looked terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Tianhao didn’t grow up in the countryside. For the country children,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these bugs and lizards were nature’s toys. Little Charcoal grabbed a gecko with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a broken tail and greeted Gong Tianhao. Then, he turmed to Xiao Xiaohui and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>asked, “Little Loach, why did you call us over? It’s your turm to watch the Little\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cattle King this afternoon”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui looked at the gecko in Xiao Charcoal’s hand and lectured him like\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a little adult, “Little Charcoal, why are you catching geckos again? My eldest\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cousin said that geckos are beneficial animals and can catch mosquitoes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Little Charcoal reluctantly put down the small gecko in his hand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and said, “1Tm just catching them to play with. I won’t kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui said, “But they’d die if you keep playing with them like this. In the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>future, don’t catch them anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Charcoal curled his lips and said, “Alright. I won’t catch them anymore in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiao Xiaohui said mischievously, “But you always say that. I’m sure we’ll find\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you playing with the geckos soon. Little Charcoal, what is so fun playing with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>geckos anyway?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Charcoal said, “I find it fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Little Bun held six bird eggs in his hand and said, “Xiaohui,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>really lucky today. We found another bird’s nest and fished out six bird\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui asked, “You didn’t dig out all the eggs in the bird’s nest, did you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no.” Little Bun shook his head and said, “I left two in the nest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good! Xiao Xiaohui nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Little Charcoal let the gecko go, he asked in puzzlement, “Little Loach,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why did you call us here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiaohui shook his head and said, “I didn’t call you here. It was Uncle Gong\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who wanted to talk to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Gong?” Little Charcoal and Little Bun looked at Gong Tianhao at the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>same time. However, when they looked at Gong Tianhao, their eyes and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>expressions were obviously not as bold as Xiao Xiaohui’s. Instead, they were a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>little timid and afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gong Tianhao saw the fear in the eyes of the two children, he felt quite\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fist and coughed twice. Then, he said seriously, “Come,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>children, listen to me carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1441,"2026-06-06T11:16:02.974Z",1,"novelbin.me","41c8f3094ebb430c572e85dd1db59cabd64683e6ad9d90590e92a054080f923b","farming-space-makes-me-rich-chapter-299","farming-space-makes-me-rich-chapter-297",1142,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-space-makes-me-rich-cover.jpg"]
