Chapter 177: The Child King

```

After the children had gone far away, Shen Yunfang sat up from the bed and laughed when she saw the heaps of wild vegetables at the door.

Once, when Ergouzi and the other children saw Shen Yunfang using a slingshot to hit sparrows with such accuracy—never missing a shot—they insisted on learning from her. This skill couldn't be acquired simply by wanting to learn it, so after many attempts, the children had to give up for the time being. But seeing the sparrows Shen Yunfang had brought down made them drool, and ultimately it was Ergouzi, with his clever mind, who negotiated with Shen Yunfang to do chores in exchange for eating sparrows.

Shen Yunfang thought it was a good deal since her home had more quails than they could eat; she didn't care much for a few sparrows. Besides, the wild vegetables she was currently digging up weren't enough for all the livestock, so if they could help her gather some, that would be beneficial too.

And so, a friendly agreement was reached.
