Liu Guixia also had a basket of seedlings on her back. She held a small shovel in one hand and held Jiang Yue in the other.
Jiang Yue walked up the mountain together with her. She also had a small shovel in her hand, which was much smaller than Liu Guixia’s.
In the eyes of Liu Guixia and the others, they thought that the shovel was too big for her.
When noon arrived, Xue Yan came back from practicing martial arts. Seeing that his family members hadn’t come back yet and were still out, he also took a small shovel and hurriedly went to the fields to help with the planting.
As he reached the field, he saw Jiang Yue carrying a lot of seedlings from the basket. He thought that these might be the seedlings that Jiang Yue planned on sending to Erfu.
He quickly went over and helped carry the seedlings for her.
“You came just in time. I’ll let you take care of Jiang Yue.” When Liu Guixia saw her son, she immediately gave the responsibility of taking care of Jiang Yue to him.
It was usually like this. Everyone was used to Xue Yan taking care of Jiang Yue.
Xue Yan was also used to it. He responded with a hum and then carried the seedlings to Erfu to plant.
Then, he walked back to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue had already squatted down again with a small shovel in her hand.
He was about to squat down and help with sowing the seeds when his father,
Xue Dafu, straightened his back and shouted, “Go back home and have a meal.
We’ve already eaten early in the morning. Come back after dinner.”
“I’m fine!”
Even though his father said so, Xue Yan still squatted down and helped plant a few stalks.
He only stood up after everyone had stood up.
“I can take that.” Xue Yan stretched out his hand, wanting to take the small shovel from Jiang Yue’s hand. He took it and put it into a relatively small empty basket.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yue passed it to him.
Xue Yan placed both his and Jiang Yue’s small shovels into this empty basket before carrying them on his back. After that, he held Jiang Yue’s hand and walked his parents home.
After walking for a while, they saw two figures crouching behind a slope on the side of the road down the mountain. They did not know when they had
hidden there.
Fortunately, plants and trees were blocking the way. If one didn’t pay close attention, they wouldn’t be able to see the pair of eyes.
At this moment, everyone was happily going home to eat, so why would they pay attention to someone staring at them?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
It was Zou Ba and Zou Shisi.
The two of them were here at the same time. This meant that something big must have happened.
These two people were revealing themselves so much on purpose so that the two children could spot them.
Jiang Yue turned around. Erfu was following behind them. She said, “Erfu, you guys can go back first. Xue Yan said that he wanted to see the acre of lemons that our family planted. He hasn’t seen it yet. Xue Yan and I will go and take a look and will be back soon. It won’t be long.”
“Sure.” Xue Erfu had no objections.
Seeing that Erfu had agreed, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took a different way. They pretended to walk to the lemon field.
Only when Xue Erfu and the others had gone down the mountain did Zou Ba and Zou Shisi hurry up from behind the slope to show themselves. They purposely took a detour, afraid that they would be seen if they passed by the dam.
They had come at an unfortunate time. They had just sneaked into Locust Village when they saw Xue Yan from afar leaving with a small shovel as he headed up the mountain.
From time to time, there would be villagers going around the river to return to the village, so they did not dare to expose themselves or call him the Crown Prince.
They could only take a detour and hurry up the mountain to speak to him.
However, they still couldn’t catch up to him after taking a detour. By the time they reached, he was seen squatting beside Jiang Yue, helping to plant the seedlings. Moreover, there were many people in the field, so it was even more difficult for them to call for him..
