Although this old tree is relatively tall, it is not as tall as a towering tree after all, and the branches at the top of the tree are not very strong. After getting the underwear, Lu Jiaming took a few steps down.
Therefore, even though he was sitting on a tree branch, he could only barely see half of the yard over the opposite wall, and even part of it was blocked by the eaves.
He saw a man in black walking hurriedly back and forth in the yard, sometimes entering the house and sometimes exiting, as if looking for something. Judging from his height and build, he was most likely a man.
But the man was dressed very warmly, with a hat, mask and gloves. Lu Jiaming opened his eyes with 5.0 vision and stared at him for a long time, but he couldn't see any of his appearance.
He wanted to watch a little longer, but he heard Xiaobao and the others shouting one after another from under the tree, occasionally mixed with the sound of Grandpa Li knocking on the ground with his walking stick.
Lu Jiaming had no choice but to lift his legs and stand up slightly, stretching out one foot to feel for a foothold below. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he couldn't help but glance towards the opposite yard.
This sight made him suddenly feel cold all over, and he froze completely.
The man raised his head at some point, his cold and ruthless eyes hidden in the shadows of the wall. When he looked towards Lu Jiaming, he was as silent and gloomy as a poisonous snake. The moment their eyes met, people couldn't help but feel a creepy terror and shudder.
The man stared at him for a few seconds, without making any other movements, then turned and walked out the door.
"Don't go!"
Lu Jiaming shouted, but the man did not stop. He was so anxious that he quickened his pace and moved down.
Perhaps it is true that "more haste makes waste". He went up smoothly, but when he was halfway down, he just stepped on a branch and heard a snap, and the branch broke instantly.
Fortunately, Lu Jiaming held on tightly with both hands, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground as well.
"Fourth brother, be careful!" Xiaobao was so frightened that his heart was pounding. "There's no place to step on. What should I do, Third brother?"
"I'll do it!"
As soon as Lu Jiayang finished speaking, he imitated Lu Jiaming and climbed up the tree. At this time, the advantage of his tight pants was reflected. It was indeed convenient for him to move around, but it was obvious that he was a novice and his movements were much clumsy.
"Third brother, what are you doing here?" Lu Jiaming finally managed to steady himself. He turned around and saw Lu Jiayang hugging the tree trunk like a sloth, but he was already quite close to him.
Lu Jiayang looked up at him and said, "I'll catch you. You might easily fall down at this distance."
"So what are you doing..." Lu Jiaming was shocked, "You want me to step on you?"
"Yes," Lu Jiayang nodded.
Lu Jiaming looked at his thin arms and legs, and the scene of Lu Ziyi breaking his forearm when he was eight years old seemed to be vivid in his mind.
It would be better for him to just jump down!
This made Xiaobao even more worried. Grandpa Li also became anxious: "Oh my, these two brats! The other one hasn't come down yet, and this one has already gone up! You're going to piss me off to death!"
"Grandpa Li, don't be angry," Xiaobao quickly comforted him, "I'll find something to put under the tree, just in case."
But he didn't know where all the items in the house were. After wandering around the yard a few times like a headless fly, he pushed the big chair that Lu Jiayang had prepared for Grandpa Li over.
Seeing Lu Jiayang and Lu Jiaming moving tremblingly, Xiaobao became more and more anxious. Before he knew it, he was standing on the chair with his two little hands raised high, as if he was ready to catch up if his brothers fell.
"We're back! We brought you some delicious food..."
The gate to the courtyard was pushed open again. Lu Ziyi's gentle voice just sounded and then stopped. He said uncertainly: "Are you guys... playing games?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Zixiao walked in closely behind him, and the next second he froze in place like him.
When his eyes fell on the two brothers on the tree, Lu Zixiao was surprised but still calm.
When he moved down and saw that Lu Yuxuan failed to climb the tree and got his clothes black instead, Lu Zixiao frowned.
When he saw Xiaobao with his legs crossed on the chair, about to fall off, and Grandpa Li who had dropped his crutches but was still supporting Xiaobao, Lu Zixiao went crazy on the spot.
"Are you guys rebelling at home?!"
. . . .
Lu Zixiao stood in the middle of the yard with his arms folded. Lu Jiayang, Lu Jiaming and Lu Yuxuan stood in a row facing him with their heads hung down. Even Grandpa Li came over with a cane.
Xiaobao quietly took small steps to the end of the line, but before he could stand still, he felt his body suddenly lifted into the air, and then he fell into a warm embrace.
"Second brother~" Her voice was weak, and her eyes glanced guiltily towards Lu Zixiao from time to time.
Lu Ziyi whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, Big Brother is not really angry, this is just a routine education."
Xiaobao said "oh" doubtfully, and was held by him and sat on the stool next to him obediently.
"Xiaobao, do you like lollipops?" Lu Ziyi asked.
"Are lollipops as sweet as white sugar?" Xiaobao thought for a moment and asked back in a low voice.
Lu Ziyi's hand, which was reaching into his pocket, paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He took out an orange lollipop from his pocket, tore open the candy wrapper, and gently put it into Xiaobao's mouth.
"Is it delicious, Xiaobao?" Lu Ziyi smiled and pinched his bulging cheek, "It tastes like orange."
"Delicious!" Those bright and clear eyes were so watery that they melted people's hearts. "Thank you, second brother~"
