Just as Lin Yu took a step forward, his pupils flashed, and he saw Hang Suisui jump down from the roadside.
Lin Yu quickened his pace slightly, looking at Hang Suisui who had already stood firmly at the bottom of the slope, he opened his mouth but still couldn't utter a single word.
Hang Suisui finally jumped down the embankment and walked towards the peach tree in twos and threes. Obviously, someone had picked the peaches from the tree. There was a path that had been clearly trampled along the grass below the embankment.
There were no roads in the world originally, but as more people walk on them, they become roads.
Indeed, that statement is quite philosophical!
Lin Yu stood by the roadside, his gaze fixed on the small green figure swaying below the embankment.
I followed her to the peach tree, and then followed her as she huffed and puffed her way up the tree. Then I watched her pick a peach and see the look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Hang Suisui finally climbed up the tree and tried to break off the older branch she had her eye on, but to her surprise, she couldn't pull the branch at all, but instead pulled down a peach!
She stared angrily at the peach in her hand, then at the unmoved branch.
Hang Suisui: [001, how about you let this branch break off by itself?]
001: [Actually, you can do it too.]
Before Hang Suisui could react to what 001 meant, she saw Lin Yu standing under the tree.
When did he come down?
What is he doing?
Is he going to climb up?
Hang Suisui watched as Lin Yu nimbly climbed onto another thick branch of the tree.
Does he want to eat peaches?
My gaze returned to the peach in my hand; it was juicy and had a strong peach aroma.
It looks really delicious.
Hang Suisui turned back, ignoring Lin Yu, and continued to struggle with the tree branch through gritted teeth!
Lin Yu threw the peaches he had picked into a thick clump of grass under the tree, and when he felt that was enough, he climbed down the tree.
He looked down at Hang Suisui, who was still struggling with the branch in the tree, and patted the branch she was standing on.
Pointing to the peaches in the haystack.
That's enough.
Hang Suisui's hand, which was holding the tree branch, was suddenly interrupted by Lin Yu's calm and indifferent voice.
Hang Suisui suddenly lowered her head.
It really was Lin Yu speaking!
Looking in the direction he was pointing, there were six or seven large peaches lying in the haystack!
Hang Suisui was a little confused: [Did he think I wanted to eat peaches, that's why he came down to pick them?]
001 gave her an affirmative answer: "Yes."
Looking at the six or seven peaches under the tree, Hang Suisui fell silent.
Never mind, she can come and break the branches herself tomorrow.
Anyway, she knew the way.
However, the child finally showed some emotion and spoke for the first time on his own initiative, which made her very happy!
Hang Suisui let go of the branch she was holding, hugged the peaches in her arms, and carefully climbed down the tree.
Yes, while pulling on the branches, she pulled down several more peaches!
Just as the two were squatting in front of the haystack counting a pile of peaches, one expressionless and the other frowning as they pondered how to take them back,
Zhu Kui, who had just picked some corn from the field and planned to cook it for dinner, saw them as he passed by the peach tree on his way home.
After taking a few glances, I realized that the child looked familiar.
"Lin Yu? What are you two doing squatting here in this sweltering heat?"
In the hot summer, snakes and insects often roamed in these grasses, so Zhu Kui quickly called the two of them up.
In the village, if any child is in danger, anyone who sees them will shout for help, let alone Lin Yu, who also went to put out the fire last night.
Zhu Kui, who was already kind-hearted, went down to the bottom of the embankment to help them up.
For a burly, strong young man, this hurdle is just a matter of taking a step.
Hang Suisui glanced at the bamboo basket on Zhu Kui's back as he walked over, and smiled, "Uncle, we can't take our peaches back!"
Sure enough, when Zhu Kui heard this, he looked into the haystack behind them and saw, wow, quite a few peaches!
It's impossible to hold so many tiny babies with their little arms and legs.
Zhu Kui quickly gathered them all into his bamboo basket: "Come on, Uncle will take them back for you."
Seeing that Zhu Kui had finished packing the peaches and was about to carry her to the roadside, Hang Suisui tugged at Zhu Kui's hand and pointed to the tree branch she had just fought with.
"Uncle, could you help me break off this branch? I want to plant a peach tree too!"
The little girl's clear, soft voice and her expectant, blinking eyes melted Zhu Kui's heart, who was still unmarried.
What was a difficult tree for Hang Suisui to climb was a piece of cake for Zhu Kui.
"Snap!"
The branches separated from the trunk with ease.
Although the broken branch had few leaves, it still had quite a few fruits. Seeing Shanghang Suisui's bright eyes, Zhu Kui reached out and put them into his bamboo basket.
"Let's go, I'll get you a bag to pack it up before we go back."
With bamboo baskets on his back, he carried the two children to the roadside one by one, holding one in each hand, and returned to Zhu Kui's home.
Most of the houses in the village are built along the roadside, but there is more than one road.
After walking along the wide road, we walked along a narrow path, and after turning the corner, we arrived at Zhu Kui's house.
Before I even stepped inside, I heard Zhu Kui yelling into the house.
"Mom, I'm home!"
Beside the courtyard, there was a thick, large tree whose shadow covered the entire house. Compared to other trees, its branches and leaves were excessively lush.
It looks a bit like that ancient tree deep in the mountains.
The tall, lush branches of the trees shaded most of the yard and house, making the summer heat much less stifling and even giving a refreshing coolness to the ground.
Hang Suisui secretly observed the walnut tree laden with fruit, and she could actually sense a trace of spiritual energy emanating from it.
That's really rare.
Things with spiritual energy usually originate in remote, uninhabited places deep in the mountains, and are rarely found in crowded, noisy places.
It seems that this family is a rare and kind one.
"You're back, so what are you shouting for! Have you picked the corn yet?!"
Hearing the strong voice, Hang Suisui curiously looked towards the door and saw a plump woman in her fifties with her sleeves rolled up, shaking her hands as she walked out.
Zhu Kui placed the bamboo basket next to the big tree in the yard and cleared the space for his belongings, placing them on the stone table beside it.
Hang Suisui and Lin Yu sat obediently on the stone benches around the stone table.
When Zhu's mother came out, she immediately saw the two children in the yard and asked Zhu Kui in surprise, "What, did you get robbed on the way back?"
Everyone in the village knew about Lin Yu's situation. Zhu Mu Gang had also heard that the village head and village chief had gone to see Old Chen, and everyone knew that they were there to discuss Lin Yu's future.
Just then, I saw my son being brought back by someone, which surprised me.
Her silly son used to pick up a toad with a broken leg and treat its injury when he was little, although he hasn't done anything like that since he grew up.
But if you said he could take Lin Yu, who is now an orphan, she wouldn't be surprised at all.
