The secret guards have already prepared the items. Although the courtyard is not as good as the one in the provincial capital, it is quite comfortable to live in.

It was still hot in late summer. In the afternoon, Sui Zhao wore a soft inner garment with a coarse linen shirt on the outside, rolled up his sleeves, and took Shuang Xu out.

"Let's go climb a tree and catch some fish!"

When Zhu Fuli came to look for them, he felt a gust of wind blowing past and he could only see their backs.

After a while, the wind blew back, and Sui Zhao hugged her and shook her, "Mother, mother, are you here to look for me?"

"Yeah." Zhu Fuli smiled, "Your father suddenly felt like cooking some soup. Would you like to try it?"

"Come back and try it. I want to go catch some fish first."

"Then go ahead." She kissed Sui Zhao's cheek, "The soup is simmering in the pot for you."

"Okay! I'm leaving!" Sui Zhao let her go and ran out the door again.

Yan Tinglan looked at her with a smile in the corridor. Zhu Fuli walked over, hugged his waist, snuggled in his arms, and said with a smile: "I can't leave you for even a moment."

Yan Tinglan picked her up and kissed her face, "Well, I can't leave my wife, I'm going to take a nap with my wife."

Sui Zhao and Shuang Xu ran to the stream, rolled up their trouser legs and went into the water. "Shuang Xu, let's see who catches the bigger fish."

"good."

The two played in the water for a while, dried their feet, put on their shoes, and climbed up the tree to pick some fruit to eat.

While sitting on a tree trunk and eating, the branch suddenly sank. Sui Zhao looked up and saw a familiar face.

She was amused and teased, "Sir, are you following me? How come we meet again?"

Huai Xu also stopped thinking about this. Shuang Xu silently handed him a fruit. He wiped it casually, lifted the black towel and ate it.

Chen Siwei glanced at her, then looked in the direction of Huai Xu, and finally fixed his gaze on her, "Coincidence, scouting the area, there are bandits."

Sui Zhao swung his feet leisurely and asked, "In this mountain?"

Huai Xu and his team have checked and it's safe.

"Next door." Her movement caused the branches to shake. Shen Siwei could hardly stand and jumped onto another branch.

She stopped and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"No problem." Chen Siwei uttered these two words expressionlessly.

Sui Zhao glanced at him, and seeing that he was silent and acting like a stake, he just ate his own food. Then, seeing that he was really cold, he asked again, "Did you come here by yourself, sir?"

"Um."

"Oh." Talking to him is tiring.

No one spoke for a while. After she finished eating the fruit, Shen Siwei took the initiative to speak: "In addition to investigating corruption, I accidentally learned that there were stubborn bandits in the mountains of the neighboring county, so I came to this mountain to scout the area and find a place to station troops, cross the mountain to hold them hostage, and suppress the bandits."

"I'm sorry to disturb you, young lady."

She raised her eyes and said, "You just told me such an important thing casually?"

“Not casual.”

Sui Zhao picked another fruit, wiped it with his hand, and wanted to put it in his mouth.

Chen Siwei handed over a water bottle, "New one."

She stared at him for a while, then took it unceremoniously, opened it, and washed the fruit with water. "Are you bribing me?"

He said nothing.

Sui Zhao plugged the water bottle and threw it back to him, "Thanks."

They are delicious. I’ll pick some and bring them back to my parents later.

"Um."

"Do you always speak one word at a time?"

"Um."

After eating the fruits, Sui Zhao stood up, grabbed the basket beside him, and picked the good-looking fruits.

Shen Siwei silently picked out the best quality ones and put them in her basket.

She didn't refuse. Someone was willing to help her pick them, so she had no reason to refuse.

Seeing this, Shuang Xu stopped moving forward.

After picking all the fruits, Sui Zhao jumped down from the tree, and Chen Siwei also jumped down with a basket.

She held out her hand to him, "Give it to me."

He obediently handed her the basket.

Sui Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, this helpful gentleman whose name I don't know. See you later."
