Chapter Seventy-One: The Afternoon Melon Garden

On a sunny afternoon, in the eastern orchard of the dwarven village, Zero was picking ripe melons in the orchard with several dwarven teenagers with a basket on his back. The sun is blazing, it is the height of summer, the temperature is very high during the day, and the sun shines on the ground through the branches and leaves of the orchard.

Zero, who had just picked a basket full of melons, sat in the shade of a small tree and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he picked up the kettle and untied the cap, raised his head and drank a few large sips of water, and the heat decreased a little. Zero took off the straw hat on his head and took it in his hand to fan himself, leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked up at the slow white clouds floating in the sky, Zero narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Brother Zero, can you come over and do me a favor?" Archie, who was standing under the tree not far away, shouted to Zero.

"Oh! here we go!" Zero agreed, putting down the kettle, standing up, frowning lightly, and putting the straw hat on top of his head.

As soon as he walked up to Archie and the others, another dwarven boy named Kunu pointed upwards at the melon tree and said to Zero, "That melon ......"

Zero looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a ripe gourd hanging on the branch, Archie said to Zero: "It's ripe, we're afraid that we won't be able to catch it with a pole and fall to the ground, the wooden ladder is on Ah Meng's side......"

Knowing this, he stood on tiptoe, and as soon as he reached out, he plucked the melon and put it in Kunu's back basket.

"Thank you~" Kunu grinned at Zero.

"It's just a small thing. Zero waved his hand.

Although the 15-year-old Zero is only more than 1.6 meters tall, he is the tallest in a group of dwarves, which is why he came with him to help pick melons.

"Zero, tell us about the outside of the forest. Duno on the side said to Zero.

"yes, tell us about it, let's get some rest. Kunu also looked at Zero expectantly.

Zero looked at the dwarf boys around him with yearning faces, smiled wryly and glanced at the other three dwarf girls who were busy not far away, and he said, "The girls are still busy, let's rest and chat, it's not good......"

"They've all rested a few times, so what's wrong with us being lazy for a while?" besides, it's still so hot, the sun makes people's eyes hurt......" Archie said, narrowing his eyes and wiping the sweat from his forehead and complaining.

"yes. Several other dwarven boys said in unison.

"Tell us about what's delicious and fun out there?"

"Do the people out there eat the same thing as us? Do they eat melons too?"

"Do people outside also practice forging every day?"

Zero listened to the gossip of the boys around him, he sighed helplessly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Okay, okay, go to the shade, let's rest for a while, I'll talk to you......"

Several dwarven boys cheered in unison, and all of them happily went to the shade of the tree, put down the basket on their backs, and sat down on the ground to rest.

Zero sat down on the trunk of the tree, and he took off his hat and fanned himself as he spoke.

"Outside the forest, I can't tell what the specific location is, because I don't know the specific location of the dwarf village in the Saling Forest, anyway, when I walk out of the Saling Forest, I can see a huge and glorious capital city from afar-Lan'er ......"

"Those guys, they're la......zy again," Lula whispered as she looked at the boys sitting in the shade of a tree not far away.

Zeya took the melon that Yi Meng had picked from the tree and put it in the basket, and said with a smile, "They've been working for a long time, and it's normal to take a break." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about?" said Lula, looking at Zero, who was sitting in the shade of a tree, talking, "The boys always like to listen to stories from outside, and if they continue to listen to them, sooner or later they will be out of the village and in danger." ”

Zeya looked at Lula, who was holding the ladder and frowned slightly, shook her head lightly and said, "Most of the clansmen are very eager to leave the Saling Jungle and live in the outside world. ”

"But outside is the world of humans, grandpa told me that humans are the most despicable and cunning race, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals," Lula glanced at Zea, then turned his face to look at Zero not far away and said, "I don't know what bad intentions this human has ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!Brother Zero is not a bad person!He's fine~" Yi Meng said as she stood on the ladder and glared at Lula, then she climbed down from the high ladder and handed Zeya the gourd she had just picked from the tree.

Lula looked at Lemon in disbelief and said to her, "You girl, do your best to help outsiders talk." ”

With that, Lula gently shook the long wooden ladder, scaring Ima, who stepped on the ladder, into shock.

"Sister Lula, you're too unreasonable!" Lemon blushed and bowed her head to blame Lula.

"Hmph~ let your little girl fight with me. Lula pouted and smirked.

The same Zeya covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, we have to pick another five catties of melons, let's work quickly." ”

"Hmph!" Yi Meng glanced at Lula, not wanting to bother with her, she turned her face and said, "Hold it steady", and then stepped on the long wooden ladder to continue picking melons.

As soon as Yi Meng stepped on the ladder and climbed to a high place, a wooden stick under her feet suddenly "creaked" and broke, and Yi Meng stepped into the air, screaming and falling down under the panicked gaze of Lula and Zeya.

This happened so fast that when Archie heard the screams and looked over to them, Ezie had already fallen from the ladder and was about to fall to the ground, Archie got up from the ground with his mouth open, he knew it was too late, but he still ran towards her.

Suddenly, Yimeng's body stopped in mid-air less than a meter above the ground, and she hovered in mid-air in a falling position, as if a pair of invisible hands held her up. Before the crowd could react to what was going on, Lula ran over and reached out her hands to catch Lemon, and Archie ran to their side at this time.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, Zeya rubbed his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and then hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Yimeng, who was scared out of tears.

"It's dangerous...... Kunu breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a relieved Zero put down his outstretched arm, and he let out a long breath, a happy expression on his face.

"Ahh......h You saved Ilemon!" Kunu shouted in surprise, and everyone immediately turned their eyes to Zero.

Zero waved his hand and said disapprehantly, "It's okay if people are fine." ”

"How did you do that?!" asked Duno in amazement.

Zero shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, he stood up and motioned for everyone to go and see Lemon. As soon as Zero walked in front of the three girls, Lemon threw herself into his arms with red eyes.

"Uh......" Zero stood there a little confused, he gently touched Yimeng's head and comforted, "It's okay, pay attention to safety in the future." ”

"Brother Zero, thank you!" Archie said as he looked at Zero gratefully.

Zero shook his head and motioned for him not to care, and then he looked at everyone embarrassedly and pointed to Yimeng, who buried her face in his chest, everyone looked at each other and didn't react, so Zero had to pat Yimeng's back and signal her to let go.

Yi Meng cried and looked up at Zero, she choked up and said to Zero while crying, "Brother Zero...... Thank you ......."

"It's okay girl," Zero smiled bitterly and looked at Yi Meng, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears and said, "Pay attention to safety when you work in the future, if something happens to you, those who care about you will definitely be sad." ”

"Uh-huh......" Lemon nodded obediently and retreated to Lula and Zea's side.

"You three girls rest for a while, and we'll take care of the rest. Zero said as he looked at the three girls, then clapped his hands and led the boys to continue picking melons.

Archie still stood there looking at Lemon who was being helped by Lula and Zeya to rest in the shade of the tree, Zero patted him on the shoulder to help him come back to his senses, and Archie followed Zero to the bottom of the tree.

"Brother Zero, how did you save Yi Meng just now?" Archie asked Zero.

"Telekinesis control, it's like this......" Zero said as he held the melon he had just picked in his hand in front of Archie, and then he let go of his hands, and the melon was suspended in midair.

"Wow!" Archie opened her mouth in surprise, "that's how you saved Lemon." ”

"Or else?" Zero gave Archie a strange look, and then urged his telekinesis to put the melon hanging in mid-air into the basket behind his back.

Archie looked at the melon that flew into the basket in front of him, and said excitedly to Zero: "Brother Zero, you can teach me!

Zero picked a gourd and threw it into the basket, he glanced at Archie and said, "Is your head in water? I still need to teach this? Don't you also have mental power?"

Archie didn't seem to understand Zero's words, he took Zero's arm and said to Zero eagerly: "Brother Zero~ You just teach me, I really want to learn to control things......"

"Are you stinky boy making fun of me?" Zero broke free of Archie's hand and said, "The basic operation of telekinesis control is something that people who practice telekinesis are born with, and you actually told me that you can't?"

Archie looked at the impatient Zero standing in place for a few seconds, and then said with an aggrieved face: "But I really can't......"

Zero didn't say anything at Zero, turned around and continued to pick the melon, Archie stepped forward and pulled Zero's arm and shook it vigorously, and kept muttering: "Brother Zero, you can teach me, teach me......"

"Stinky boy......" Zero turned to look at Archie and said impatiently, "A person who practices enchantment every day can't control things with telekinesis, do you want to laugh at me so that I can take this basket of melons on my back?"

"But I really won't, Grandpa Kusai has never taught me this, I've never seen this ability in the dwarves when I'm so big, I really didn't lie to you," Archie looked up at Zero aggrieved and anxiously and said, "If I could, I was the one who saved Ah Meng just now......"

"Oh Huo~ The stinky little imp has finally spoken his mind!" Zero grinned, stretched out his hand around Archie's shoulder, and said, "You little ghost...... I love I'm not wrong!"

"I ...... I didn't!" Archie blushed and raised his hand to grasp his head, breaking free from under Zero's arm, in vehemently denial.

"You have! I can see it! Yimeng is such a beautiful and cute little Lori, at first glance, she is the object that a spring-hearted little ghost like you would like!" Zero said as he stared at Archie without giving an inch.

"I didn't! I didn't! If you don't teach, forget it!" Archie shook his head desperately, and turned around and ran to the side with his face burning like fire.

"Silly boy~" Zero scolded with a smile as he looked at the back of Archie running away.
