Those children can't get rid of Xu Ling, and they can't talk about him. In the end, Li Dayuan reluctantly agreed.

They got together and discussed for a long time, and decided to join Xu Ling to pick all the ripe dates on the tree.

Xu Ling responded in one bite.

A hint of cunning flashed in Li Dayuan's eyes, and one child was assigned to stare at Xu Ling, while the rest of the children took off their clothes and spread them on the ground, while he and another taller child used bamboo poles to beat dates on the tree.

The jujube tree has thorns, not only on the branches, but also on the trunk, and it is impossible to climb up at all.

They brought long bamboo poles and came prepared, Xu Ling was empty-handed, but wanted to see how he did it.

Xu Ling really didn't know about it, and when he was holding the tree and preparing to climb up, he didn't know until he was stabbed.

Li Dayuan and a few children laughed, and the speed of beating dates sped up a lot.

Xu Ling scolded secretly in his heart, looking up at the dates on the tree and couldn't help but make a difficulty, these dates are red early, and the long ones are also attractive, if they can be exchanged for money, they will definitely be sold for a lot of money.

He is short of money now.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingyi gritted his teeth, took off his shoes and put them on his hands, first rubbed off the thorns on the tree with the soles of his shoes, and then continued to climb up.

The original owner is a good hand at climbing trees and going down the river, Xu Ling also climbed trees when he was a child, and it is not difficult to climb at all.

It's about stabbing people.

No matter how careful she is, she will inevitably be pricked on her body, Xu Ling gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and climbed to the tree like a monkey.

Now, it was the kids' turn to be dumbfounded.

Li Dayuan shouted: "It's not good, let him take the lead now!" ”

After all, he also had to climb up like Xu Ling, but he was stabbed a few times, and he was taught by the uncomfortable pain that he didn't dare to climb up again.

Climbing the jujube tree is not the end of the pain, but only the beginning, those red and attractive jujubes grow under the branches, and the branches of the jujube tree also grow many thorns.

Xu Ling picked it, and was stung, seeing that he was pricked from time to time and withdrew his hand, and after picking for a long time, he didn't seem to see more dates in his arms, Li Dayuan put his mind at ease again, didn't want to climb the tree, and began to be busy beating dates again.

Xu Lingjian had deceived him, and snickered in his heart, he didn't put the dates on his body at all, but picked them off and threw them into the space.

No matter how many children think about it, they can't imagine that he is hanging! Ahaha!

The jujube trees were so tall that the children could pluck them with the pain when they knocked them on the bottom. The two groups of people were like a competition, and they worked hard to pick dates.

Until Li Dayuan's neck and hands were sore and tired, Xu Ling suffered a lot on the jujube tree.

"Xu Ling, how many have you picked?" Li Dayuan asked under the tree.

Xu Ling sat on a horizontal branch, pulled out a thorn from under his buttocks and threw it below, showing them the jujube dew in his clothes, "I've picked so much." ”

"Haha, he was pierced like that, and he actually picked those few!" The children laughed happily.

Li Dayuan also felt that Xu Ling was a little pitiful, and he was even less guarded against him, "Forget it, you throw the dates you picked over there, we won't pick you up." ”

Xu Ling smiled, threw the dates in his pocket on the empty grass elsewhere, got dressed, rubbed them on his clothes, and ate the dates.

It was as if they had been reconciled, and now the sun was at the end of the day, and the morning had passed, and the children had no intention of leaving, but they sat down by the jujube pile on the grass, rejoicing, and began to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

When you are hungry, you eat dates, and when you are thirsty, you go to a small river not far away to drink water.

Xu Ling asked them: "If you don't go back, won't your father and mother look for you?" ”

"What do you want us to do? Let's pick dates! ”

The adults in their family have to go to the fields all day, and who will send someone to watch the children, who will run around and start doing all kinds of work for the family.

Xu Ling sat on the high jujube tree, from here you can see the village, see the silver ribbon-like river, there are people walking around in the village, chickens and dogs barking, so lively, some people's chimneys come out of the smoke, curling up, the sky is endless, there is no wind at all.

She quietly looked at this beautiful scenery like a picture scroll, and only felt that all worries and sorrows were gone.

However, the small wounds on her body that were faintly painful were densely packed, and they reminded her that no matter how beautiful the scenery was, everyone had to eat.

After eating more than a dozen dates in a row, Xu Ling's stomach was not so hungry, and the children under the tree continued to work, and Xu Ling also began to continue picking dates.

Gradually, all the dates that could be picked were picked by him, leaving only the hard-to-climb places on the treetops, Xu Ling won the sympathy of the children by selling miserably, and was able to successfully borrow a bamboo pole, beat down the red dates on the treetops, and fell to the ground for the children to pick up.

After doing this, Xu Ling endured the pain and climbed down the jujube tree.

Those beaten dates are mixed with the children's dates, and they are supposed to be compensation for him, a shameless and despicable adult.

Xu Ling returned the bamboo pole, thanked them, and bent down to pick up his dates.

At this time, it was already about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought that he was going home, and if they saw the dates, they would definitely be very happy.

Leave some for the family, send some to the father-in-law, and if there is more left, Xu Ling plans to go a little farther tomorrow and go to the town or other villages to sell dates.

He was thinking about it, when Li Dayuan suddenly walked over, threw a handful of dates on his clothes, and said awkwardly: "We picked a lot, and we will give you a little, but you have to help us protect the secret, and don't tell others that there are dates here." ”

They have only threshed a third of their dates today, and there are many dates on the trees that are not red.

Xu Ling grinned, sure enough, the children are very innocent, they are really cute.

He did not refuse Li Dayuan's kindness, and the other children also gave him some dates.

In this way, Xu Ling finally made friends in the village - a group of children whose oldest was only ten years old.

Xu Ling and the children went home, said goodbye at the fork in the road, and went back to their respective homes.

Xu Ling thought about today's events, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and suddenly he felt that it seemed that crossing over was not all a bad thing.

But when he arrived at the door of his house and saw two strange but angry faces, his heart chuckled again.

As soon as a bloated woman saw Xu Ling, she immediately rushed over and grabbed his arm, for fear that Xu Ling would run away, her facial features were wrinkled, and as soon as she opened her mouth, a stench sprayed Xu Ling's face, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Xu Ling!" When will the money you owe our family be paid! If you don't give me a letter today, we'll stay at your house and not leave! ”

Mother Xu is usually always arrogant, as long as Xu Ling is there, she can be unreasonable, but now she is like a quail, she only dares to pull the woman, for fear that she will hurt Xu Ling, and persuades: "You say it well, say it well, he won't have the money to pay you back if he beats him!" ”

In the house, there was the crying of the eldest girl, as well as Gu Yu's soft persuasion.

As soon as Xu Ling flipped through her memory, she recognized that this woman was one of the largest creditors of the original owner, Liu Wang, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Zhen's uncle.

The original owner owes her...... Thirty-three taels of silver!!

Xu Ling's eyes suddenly darkened.
