With a sickle in his hand, Ah Guang, as usual, went to the white reed fruit forest in the mountain behind his house to weed.

Along the way, whenever he saw weeds growing around the fruit trees, he immediately skillfully waved his firewood knife to cut them off one by one.

According to Grandpa, this is to prevent weeds from taking away the nutrients of the fruit trees, resulting in poor quality fruits.

At first, Ah Guang didn't take his grandfather's words to heart.

In the first two years after taking over the Bailu Fruit Grove, he did not take care of the fruit grove carefully because he was lazy.

By November, the forest was almost overgrown with weeds, and some fruit trees had even been drilled out of wormholes.

And the fruit that year was small in size and light in taste, so angry that Grandpa Ah Guang beat his chest: "With this quality, which vendor is willing to buy our family's fruit at a high price?"

The next month, the merchants who came to buy the fruit took advantage of this to lower the price. In the end, his family's fruit of more than 200 catties was only sold at a price of 100 catties!

If it weren't for Uncle Hu next door for two months, I'm afraid that my family of three would have starved to death, and I wouldn't have been able to survive the time for the traders to enter the mountain next year.

After all, selling white reed fruit is a rare large income for his family.

Thinking of this, Ah Guang's sickle wielded more diligently - the area of their family's white reed fruit forest is the first in the village, and if they don't work hard, they won't be able to finish today's work!

As the sun gradually receded, Ah Guang sat at the mouth of a shady cave and stretched his waist to relieve the soreness in his body.

After several hours of struggle, the weeds in this fruit forest were finally swept away, and as far as the eye could see, the surroundings of the trunks of the white reed fruit trees were all clean and clean, without the slightest clutter.

"I heard that the vendors will come to the village tomorrow for the first sweep. It seems that my fruit will not be able to catch up with this purchase. Looking at the white reed fruit that was still some time away from ripening, Ah Guang thought with some regret.

Just as he was about to stand up and go down the mountain, a conversation suddenly sounded from the cave behind him.

......

......

"Master, I see the light, I see the light!"

"I know, I know, don't talk! I chatter all the way, you are lying on the master's back, so you don't feel tired, right?"

"I've walked a long way, and my legs are sore! But I'm not very tired now. ”

"Then you come down and go by yourself!"

"Okay!"

There was a chorus of voices in mind, and the scene fell silent.

In the middle of the night, the immature children's voice came into Xuan Yuan's ears: "Forget it, my legs are too short, I can't climb this stone......"

Xuan Yuan snickered in his heart, looking at the faint light source in front of him, his originally tired mind was slightly relieved.

Five hours have passed since leaving the stone gate of the ravine.

In five hours, under the faint light source, sparing all kinds of lost forks in the road, trekking for hours without stopping, even Xuanyuan couldn't stop feeling tired.

Carrying Yuan Le back to his body again, he took Xuanwei Xuanming and walked upwards with his pace.

Turning the corner, the hole completely appeared in front of you.

Even though the sun was setting at this time, the glow of the sky still pierced Xuanyuan and several people couldn't open their eyes.

Xuan Yuan squinted his eyes slightly, while adapting to the light of the outside world, he observed a figure at the entrance of the cave: a young man, without the slightest mana fluctuation in his body, holding a sickle in his hand, it seemed that there were mountain people doing farm work nearby.

Xuanyuan put his mind at ease.

Seeing four people suddenly coming out of the cave, and even three of them looked like children, Ah Guang couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Underground caves like this are common in the vicinity of Bailu Village, where there are often two or three caves hidden.

What's more terrifying is that these caves are often bottomless. There are some dark rivers connected to it, and the terrain is complicated, and it is difficult to get back once you get lost.

Ah Guangyu remembers that when he was a child, a playmate strayed into it, and even though the whole village went into the cave with torches to search, they still didn't find the playmate in the end—which shows the complexity of the terrain.

He looked at Xuanyuan, involuntarily took a step back, and asked with some vigilance, "Who are you, and how did you appear in my family's orchard?"

"We didn't mean to break into your orchard. We just strayed into an underground cave, and we didn't know the specific route, so we went around and around, and finally walked out of here. ”

Xuan Yuan smiled to show kindness, measured his body, revealed the tired Xuan Wei Xuanming behind him, and said helplessly: "After trekking in the cave for a long time, these little guys are already exhausted, I wonder if the good people can find a place for us to rest for a while?"

was originally a hearty character, but when he heard Xuanyuan speak in a reasoned and well-founded manner, Ah Guang relaxed his body.

When he heard Xuan Yuan's last request, he glanced at the three young ones, and he agreed without thinking: "Okay!"

But as soon as the words came out, he seemed to think of something again, and his expression suddenly paused again, and he blushed, as if he wanted to say something.

While speaking, Xuan Yuan took the three little ones out of the cave and came to the ground.

Seeing this, Xuan Yuan said: "If it's inconvenient, just say it to a good person." Let's ask the others a little more, and it's no big deal. ”

"It's really not very convenient. Ah Guang was a little surprised, "But it's not because I don't want to, but because my family ...... My family is a little restless, and people in the village have been talking lately...... Say my house is dirty. ”

If you get into trouble, the host will not agree to an outsider's request for a stay - in the eyes of the simple family, this is not to help others, but to harm others.

"Hey, that's a coincidence!" Xuan Yuan, who was originally taking a big breath of air on the ground, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing the young man's words.

"It just so happens that the poor road is still worried, how to repay the good man for this overnight feeling, but I didn't expect that the good man immediately sent a good reason!"

"Clams?" Ah Guang was stunned for a moment, looked at Xuanyuan's outfit, and looked a little hesitant, "You mean, you want to help my family...... This ......"

Seeing the look on Ah Guang's face, Yuan Le understood that the big brother in front of him didn't trust his master very much.

Pursing his small mouth, Yuan Le couldn't hold it back, jumped out and waved his fist and said, "The master is very powerful, he was ...... just now under the ground Woohoo......"

Xuanyuan reluctantly pushed Yuan Le back and said to Ah Guang: "Since you are willing to provide us with a night, then let's settle it like this, we are not taboo about this." ”

Pointing to the two tired Xuanwei and Xuanming behind him, Xuanyuan added: "For these two little guys, the most important thing now is to find a bed to lie on." ”

Since the other party said so, Ah Guang no longer refused.
