Chapter 555 Happy Peach Picking
Sun Sainan took a look and found that the branches and leaves were messy and did not look like anyone had taken care of it, so she determined that it was wild.
I saw the little peaches lying on the ground under the tree and felt so sad.
He picked one up, rubbed it on his body, and took a bite. It was so bitter that he spat it out.
Then he looked at the people in confusion and asked, "Are you sure this peach is the same as the one we just ate?"
Yuan Ruoxi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Lu Nanfang.
Seeing her nod slightly, Yuan Ruoxi made up her mind and said with a smile: "Yes, Ah Fang picked it here. Maybe the ones on the tree are different from those under the tree. How about you pick another one to try?"
Sun Sainan was a little skeptical, but she still picked one, wiped it on her clothes, and put it in her mouth. This time the feeling was different from before. Although it couldn't be said to be very delicious, it was still edible.
After finishing a peach, Sun Sainan muttered, "Those peaches are probably sick, that's why they are so bitter. I thought I would take them back so as not to waste them, but it seems I was just wishful thinking."
Yuan Ruoxi smiled, "These dozen trees are enough for us to eat. As for the peaches on the ground, they are bitter anyway, so it's not a pity. Okay, let's pick the peaches quickly, otherwise we don't know who will get the good deal."
"That's right. If it was picked by another resident, it would be fine. But if it fell to the ground for other reasons, it would be a waste of things."
After Sun Sainan finished speaking, he climbed up the tree trunk to the branch and said to the people under the tree: "I will pick the ones at the top, and you can pick the ones at the bottom that you can reach with your hands."
Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang all nodded, but Yuan Ruoxi showed no interest and walked aside and sat on the ground.
The few people were not surprised and ignored her.
After working hard for half an hour, Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang felt their arms a little stiff and said they wanted to take a break.
Sun Sainan nodded and continued to do his work. He has been training for many years, so his physical strength is naturally not comparable to these young people.
Moreover, Sun was so immersed in the joy of picking peaches that he could no longer listen to what they said. From beginning to end, he had only one thought in his mind, which was: "Pick them quickly!"
The three young people under the tree glanced at Sun Sainan, and seeing that he was not paying attention to them, they leaned their heads against each other and started whispering.
Yuan Ruoxi: "It's almost time, shall we retreat first?"
Tong Xianbao: "Sure. Otherwise it will be late and I might not be able to get back to my temporary residence before dark."
Yuan Ruoxi pouted: "If I can't go back, then I can't go back. I have already sacrificed my face and chose to come out in broad daylight. It would be a shame if I don't make up for it!"
Tong Xianbao: "But if I don't come back, I'll be exposed."
Yuan Ruoxi: "Show your ass! We came out in the middle of the night a few days ago and no one caught us!"
Tong Xianbao thought: "That's because you didn't do anything big."
But he couldn't say it, because he knew the other party wouldn't listen, so there was no need to make her unhappy.
Seeing that Tong Xianbao was silent, Yuan Ruoxi said coquettishly, "My dear, I want to store more food for our future, right? Look, how many wheat fields in Su City have good harvests? Not to mention the storm a while ago, how much food that was about to be harvested was destroyed!
If we don't stock up more food now, how will we survive in the future?
Don't say you won't starve to death with the help of the guards. Look at what they have eaten during this period. Others have it, but I have it. I am not as confident as I am. If I can fill up the space, we..."
Yuan Ruoxi paused, glanced at Lu Nanfang, and then said, "Even Xiaofang can live a happy and prosperous life."
Tong Xianbao was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes when he heard this. He held her hand and said, "Xiao Xixi, thank you. Don't worry, I will accompany you even if it's a mountain of swords or a sea of fire!"
Yuan Ruoxi was also moved. When she was about to say something, she heard Lu Nanfang cough: "Now is not the time for you two to express your feelings. Time is running out. Let's act quickly."
"Yes, yes, Nanfang has been gathering information for several days in preparation for this operation," said Tong Xianbao.
"Then should I go and tell Sun Sainan?" Yuan Ruoxi asked.
"What are you talking about? Why don't we just sneak away? He won't ask us so many questions and maybe won't let us leave." Tong Xianbao said.
"Yes, if he insists on following us, we might not have a chance to act!" Yuan Ruoxi shuddered, "Let's run away while he's not paying attention."
Lu Nanfang shook her head: "You guys leave, I'll stay here. If he gets suspicious, I can help you delay him for a while."
Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao did not doubt her intentions. Instead, they were very moved and said, "Afang, thank you! Don't worry, you will have a share of today's harvest. You must try your best to delay Sun Sainan!"
Lu Nanfang smiled, "Don't worry, I will try my best to delay it. At worst, I can take him in the opposite direction!"
"Yeah, okay, then we'll leave first!"
Lu Nanfang nodded, "Be careful and stay safe!"
Yuan Ruoxi stood up, looked up at Sun Sainan on the tree and shouted, "Captain Sun, I need to go to the toilet!"
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go with you!" Sun Sainan replied subconsciously.
Yuan Ruoxi's cheeks flushed. "How can you, a grown man, accompany me to do such a private thing? Just let Abao accompany me. There is nothing around here, it's very safe!"
Sun Sainan looked around and saw that there were no tall trees except for the dozen peach trees. There were weeds all around, and it didn't look like there was a place where people could hide.
What's more, their actions today were based on their own will, so there shouldn't be any bad guys ambushing them in advance.
So he nodded: "Be careful and come back soon!"
Yuan Ruoxi said "oh" and ran away. Sun Sainan got anxious and slid down from the tree, wanting to chase after her.
Lu Nanfang quickly grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?"
"She could have just found a place nearby to solve the problem. Why did she run so far away? It's so dangerous!" Sun Sainan said anxiously.
"Well, you were on the tree, and Ruoxi was naked when you took a casual look. Isn't it normal for them to be worried and walk away? Don't worry, how far can those two run to the toilet? If it doesn't work, we'll go over to look for her later!" Lu Nanfang said.
Sun Sainan thought about it and stopped walking. But he was not idle and continued to pick peaches at the bottom.
Seeing this, Lu Nanfang also stepped forward to help. Without Yuan Ruoxi's help, the two people's backpacks were quickly filled.
"I didn't expect that this tree, which looks inconspicuous, actually has such a high yield!" Lu Nanfang exclaimed.
Sun Sainan nodded. "Maybe wild ones have stronger vitality, but this one is really not big."
Lu Nanfang smiled and said, "It's already a pleasant surprise. We can't force it."
"Yes, we should be content!"
After Sun Sainan finished speaking, he picked a peach from another tree, wiped it on his clothes, and put it directly into his mouth to eat.
－－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－－
In the morning, I felt relieved when I saw that Grandpa Yuan’s death was fake news. I didn’t expect it to come true in the afternoon.
It's quite sad. After all, this old man really made great contributions to the country and the nation.
He is someone you can never forget as long as you serve him!
But it's normal to leave when you're old.
Yesterday I saw a little cutie saying that my writing has been too wordy recently, and I was actually quite confused.
Because I feel like the characters are leading me lately, so I just try to control it roughly, but...
The author really has no intention of writing more than a few words, and is working hard every day. Looking at the pitiful amount of manuscripts saved, I wanted to click delete, but because I have to update more in two days, I gave up.
Alas, I can only pay attention to this in my next writing. After all, time is tight and the task is heavy, and I am afraid that I will not have enough manuscripts saved by then.
That's right, another update is coming. The plan is 50,000, I hope I can do it by working overtime in the next two days!
