The people had already run over; the elderly man helplessly lowered his head to look at her.

Little Taotie pointed at the pit.

The elderly man: "..." Is it too late to pretend not to have seen her?

Little Taotie snorted twice, her big eyes fixed on him.

The elderly man felt quite helpless, sighed, and under the intense gaze of the little girl, could only silently take the small shovel to fill the pit.

Little Taotie stood with hands on her hips watching him, with a distinct air of surveillance.

Hua Jinyan covered his mouth, secretly laughing at the side.

Little Taotie immediately noticed him.

Hua Jinyan had a bad feeling.

Little Taotie snorted: "Let’s try and see if we can help too."

Hua Jinyan: "...Alright then."

As it turns out, Little Taotie’s strength wasn’t much, only Hua Jinyan and the elderly man’s strength was useful, so as those able do more work, Little Taotie contentedly sat on a big rock to rest, pulled out a pack of dried tofu and a pack of little twists from her small bag, left hand holding dried tofu, right hand holding little twists, crunching crisply.

The sound of eating twists was particularly energetic and rhythmic.

The elderly man: "..."

Hua Jinyan: "..."

The two looked at each other, a feeling akin to lamenting their late meeting, finding a kindred spirit in their woes crept over them.

Little Taotie saw the two stop and shouted: "Why have you stopped? Keep going!"

Hua Jinyan: "..."

The elderly man sighed, resignedly continuing to fill the pit.

The pit he dug, he could only fill it himself.

Hua Jinyan wasn’t too sad, the elderly man felt weary: "Focus, put in more effort!"

Hua Jinyan looked at him, then at the large tree branch in his hand from God knows where, "If you’re willing to swap tools with me, I think I could put more effort in."

The elderly man: "You should respect the elderly."

Hua Jinyan kept his face straight: "Please show love to the young first."

The elderly man pretended not to hear, moved to the other side to fill the earth.

Hua Jinyan stood in place, continuing to use the large tree branch to fill the earth, the branch forks were large, usually, when digging, half of the earth would fall away, and what was left could only fill a small handful.

In the end, it took him twice as long as the elderly man to barely fill the pit.

Next was Little Taotie’s task; Little Taotie stacked up the "cleaned" Gold Bricks one by one.

Hua Jinyan wanted to lend a hand to help, but this time he couldn’t; as soon as he and the elderly man reached out to touch the Gold Bricks, they were rebounded as if the Gold Bricks treated them as villains coveting its beauty, the shining light nearly blinded them.

Hua Jinyan covered his eyes, only then adapting.

The elderly man however was comfortable, directly sitting on the big rock, even closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Hua Jinyan seeing him monopolizing the big rock, lost the thought of going over, instead stayed by Little Taotie’s side.

Though he couldn’t help, he could chat with Little Taotie to relieve boredom.

Little Taotie was like a deity aiding her in stacking "blocks," evidently this was physical work, a factory building, but to her it was child-like play and ease.

The weighted Gold Bricks, an ordinary child would need both hands to lift them, yet to her were like a fluffy, soft, and light big cake, effortlessly easy.

She was standing on the Gold Bricks, so as the tower rose high, she herself stood very high.

Hua Jinyan wanted to imitate her standing on the built Gold Bricks, but not only did the Gold Bricks object, even Little Taotie disagreed, constantly saying he was interfering with her building siege, so eventually Hua Jinyan could only stand on the ground, gazing up at the increasingly high tower and the girl standing ever higher.
