Chapter 38 Picking Fruit



Chapter 38 Picking Fruit

Before leaving, Bai Zhao specifically told everyone about the pattern and told them:

"We should all pay attention to this swallow-shaped pattern. If you find this pattern, remember to tell Uncle Six."

Wei Liu returned before dawn.

Bai Zhao did not sleep well last night and was woken up by the slightest noise.

Seeing him come back, Bai Zhao told Wei Liu about their speculation last night.

Wei Liu controls the Wei family's intelligence system and must know more than his brother-in-law.

Everyone saw the pattern on the ground and nodded.

Originally they were going to split into two teams, with Wei Liu leading one team and Zhou Wen leading the other.

It was Bai Jingzhi who suggested not to separate, as it would be difficult to reunite in such a huge mountain.

Now Wei Liu and his son treat Bai Jingzhi obviously differently, and both of them respect her opinion.

Zhou's father and son were more familiar with the conditions in Taiming Mountain, so they led the way in front, while Wei Liu's father and son walked at the end.

The rest of the people, including Bai Jingzhi, walked in the middle.

The journey was rather dull at the beginning and the end, but with Xiao Wang around, the atmosphere became more relaxed in the middle.

"Jingzhi, eat some chestnuts quickly to fill your stomach. You won't be able to eat for a while."

Xiao Wang gave Bai Jingzhi a dozen raw chestnuts and distributed many to other people.

After a while, more than ten pounds of chestnuts were gone.

Xiao Wang was relaxed and travelled lightly.

Bai Jingzhi's stomach was not in good condition now, so she didn't dare to eat raw food. She pretended to chew the chestnuts, but actually put them into Guiyuantianju.

"So many good things," Xiao Wang sighed with drool at the corners of her mouth, "If they hadn't given me any news, I would really like to pick these things and take them back with me on the road."

He does not mean that.

Autumn is indeed a season of harvest.

Hunters of average skill do not dare to go deep into Taiming Mountain.

Bai Jingzhi frantically called out to Bai Zhao in his mind, asking him to find a way to take these things off.

Now they have nothing. They have hunted prey to feed themselves in Taiming Mountain. Once they leave here, they will have to be self-reliant.

Why not take this opportunity to collect more food?

You don’t have to worry about everyone going hungry after you find someone later.

It is not appropriate to take out things from Guiyuantianju, and things from the villa are even more forbidden to be taken out.

If they don't collect some food and put it in public, others will become pale and skinny due to hunger, while they will become plump and white after eating in the space, which will arouse even more suspicion.

Bai Zhao's head was about to be overwhelmed by the bombardment of information, and he could only think of a way to solve it.

"Brother-in-law, let me ask you something," Bai Zhao ran to the front of the team and grabbed Zhou Wen's sleeve, "When you hunt a lot of prey or pick a lot of fruits, how do you transport them down the mountain?"

"What? You want to pick some fruit?" Zhou Wen slowed down and looked at the tree in the distance.

"I'm afraid that we'll rescue the people but end up with nothing to eat. I thought why don't we pick these things now? It won't take too long."

Bai Zhao did not lower his voice, and Wei Liu and his son could hear his plan clearly.

Wei Liu spoke directly from behind, "Stop and rest for a while, and take this opportunity to pick the fruits."

When Bai Jingzhi heard this, his eyes rolled and he realized something was wrong.

Normally, Wei Liu never worried about food.

Bai Jingzhi suspected that the Wei family must have a backup plan, with stockpiles and other items, because they simply looked down on the things prepared by the Bai family.

Wei Liu came back this morning. He was not in a good mood and there were red bloodshot eyes.

This time he actually agreed. Could it be that something happened to the Wei family’s things?

Before she could think about it, Zhou Yue'e pulled her and started moving.

This time it was daytime and there was no place to hide, so the previous situation would not happen again.

“Uncle Yong, are you protecting me?”

Wei Dayong followed them closely, which prompted Bai Jingzhi to ask this question.

"Yes, your safety will be under my responsibility from now on." Wei Dayong explained indifferently without looking at her directly.

Bai Jingzhi couldn't help but think about it a little more.

Wei Dayong had not been very friendly towards her before, and he even ignored Bai Zhao.

This man looked down on them father and daughter from the bottom of his heart. She didn't expect him to protect her, but just hoped that he wouldn't stand by and watch them die.

When I gave him the bottle of medicine yesterday, I saw him fighting with Jinhua, and they were evenly matched.

If Jinhua comes to trouble her again, Wei Dayong can help.

Bai Jingzhi remembered that the birthmark on his right shoulder must have been seen by Wei Liu last night, and the father and son reached a consensus.

Originally, Wei Liu and his son were most concerned about her cousins, while she and her mother were secondary.

Wei Dayong actually regarded protecting her as his mission.

Bai Jing's heart was pounding. Her birthmark and the pattern on the bronze order were exactly the same. What was the connection between the two?

Jinhua came to snatch it away, and Wei Dayong came to protect her.

Things are becoming more and more confusing and chaotic.

Among those who were kidnapped, there were three members of the Wei family. Could they be coming for the Bronze Order as well?

Bai Jingzhi couldn't help but wrap his coat tightly, fearing that the pattern on his shoulder would be exposed to others again.

"Jingzhi, you catch it underground, and I'll go up the tree to pick it."

Zhou Yue'e took a deep breath and jumped upwards, and landed on a wild kiwi tree.

If it were in the past, Bai Jingzhi would definitely be excited to analyze the growing conditions of this wild kiwi tree.

"Here, I'll give you a green peach." Zhou Yue'e picked one and threw it to Bai Jingzhi.

Bai Jingzhi squatted down with his head in his hands, but the pain he had imagined did not come.

A big hand holding a kiwi was handed to her.

"Thank you, Uncle Yong."

Bai Jingzhi took it quickly, fearing that the man would be angry.

The more powerful a person is, the weirder his temper is.

Seeing this, Zhou Yue'e threw the fruit at Wei Dayong instead, "Uncle Yong, you catch it!"

Bai Jingzhi had just peeled the kiwi fruit when the two people who were participating in the martial arts competition had already cleaned the tree and were ready to look for the next one.

She suffers from constipation and eats a kiwi every morning.

As soon as it enters your mouth, the sour taste mixed with a hint of sweetness takes over your mouth.

Compared to what I've eaten before, it's a world of difference.

Bai Jingzhi silently made a note in his mind that there was one more species that needed to be improved.

There were a few kiwis left on the ground, and Bai Jingzhi quietly collected them back to his garden to keep seeds for future cultivation.

The next fruits I encountered were persimmons, hawthorns, and red dates.

“How do we take these things back?”

Bai Jingzhi felt worried when he saw this. He was so lucky, but he had such a big harvest but no equipment to store it.

"How difficult is that? Just wait!"

Zhou Yue'e pinched Bai Jingzhi's cheek and said, "If my father hunts game, remember to eat more meat!"

She leaped forward, swung the whip in her hand, and many thin, thornless twigs fell to the ground.

Bai Jingzhi was confused, "What is this for?"

"Weave two baskets to hold your things, and you won't have to worry."

The thin twigs in Zhou Yue'e's hands were very flexible. She could finish one basket in a quarter of an hour, and her speed of weaving baskets became faster and faster.

About half an hour later, four simple baskets were formed, each with two simple shoulder straps.

Zhou Yue'e laughed and said, "Let's go, we'll return with a full load."
