Chapter 1017
Holy sh*t!
I frowned and said, “Climb yourself, it’s late, I should go back, I still have work to do.”
He spoke languidly, “What Mr. Mu said about cooperating with the work, it seems that you didn’t put much thought into it either.”
I held my breath and glared at the two men, somewhat speechless.
I put the bag down in my hand and looked up at the three to four metre high tree, and I couldn’t help but let out a breath.
It wasn’t that difficult. When I was in Huai’an, Shen Yu always said that I was small and skinny and that climbing up the tree to pick the fruit would not break it.
So over time, Shen Yu especially liked to fool me into picking the fruit that he couldn’t pick, and then catch it himself with a basket under the tree, so in his words, if I couldn’t pick the fruit and fell down, he could catch me under the tree.
As luck would have it, I had never fallen since I was a child, and I rarely climbed trees when I grew up.
When I took the Four Seasons back to Huai’an, I planted a sour pear tree in the yard. The pear tree grew so tall that I would climb it every time the Four Seasons wanted to eat it.
I don’t know when the Four Seasons and Fu Shenyan said that.
Seeing me staring at the tree, Zhou Ranxi said, “Forget it if Miss Shen can’t climb up there!”
Fu Shen Yan didn’t say anything, just looked at me indifferently.
I thought these two were too boring, so I climbed up by grabbing the tree trunk and stomping on the branches.
During the time I was in the mountains of Burma, I had done a lot of physical exercise in order to survive, and I had gained a lot of strength in my hands.
When I got up the tree, I looked down at the two of them and said, “Please pass the bag up!”
Fu Shenyan handed me the empty bag in his hand and looked at me, not shallowly but lightly, “Don’t fall down, be careful!”
“Well, thanks!” Taking the bag from him, I moved to pick the fruit.
It wasn’t too difficult, but it was true, the fruit from this tree was big and sweet and tasty to eat.
After picking quite a few, I carried the bag, having some difficulty moving around, squatted down and handed the bag to Fu Shen Yan.
Then prepared to go down.
“Ah! Snake!” A cold sound startled me into a slip and I plunged straight down towards the tree.
I hoped there was nothing sharp down here, otherwise I would have to hang myself again.
I was prepared to fall, but when I noticed the strong force at my waist, I froze a little and looked away for a moment.
It was Fu Shen Yan’s handsome cheek, and I was a little surprised and relieved.
Remembering Zhou Ranxi’s shout about the snake, I couldn’t help but get out of Fu Shen Yan’s arms and pull away from him, I couldn’t help but ask, “Where is the snake?”
Ever since I saw that snake in the Burmese forest, my fear of snakes has been growing.
Fu Shen Yan’s attention was also drawn to Zhou Ranxi and he asked, “Where is the snake?”
Zhou Ranxi froze, and when she returned to her senses, she pointed to her feet in a panic.
When I saw how close she was pointing, I subconsciously took a few steps back, but when I looked closely, there was nothing there.
Puzzled, I looked up at her and wondered, “Is Miss Zhou playing?”
She shook her head somewhat innocently, “No, I really saw it, it’s really here, don’t believe me, come and look!”
I couldn’t help but feel a little fear in my heart and looked at Fu Shen Yan, seeing him go up to look, I couldn’t help but frown at Zhou Ranxi with a handsome brow furrowed, looking at her, his face sank a few notches, “You don’t know the snake?”
Chapter 1018
I’ve seen it before in books or on TV, but I’ve never seen it in life!”
I couldn’t help but be a little puzzled, and raised my eyes to look over, and drew a breath for a moment, good for you, to be able to treat an earthworm like a snake, I guess only Zhou Ranxi!
The fruit in Fu Shen Yan’s hand fell to the ground, probably out of instinct when he reached out to pick me up just now.
I looked for the bag and knelt down to pick it up, Fu Shen Yan also knelt down to pick it up, looked at me and spoke indifferently, “Is everything okay?”
I raised my eyebrows, “It’s intact!” I couldn’t help but look at Zhou Ranxi, there was no way this woman couldn’t tell the difference between an earthworm and a snake, she was obviously deliberately trying to scare me.
I was lucky that Fu Shen Yan was quick to catch me, otherwise, I would have had to go to the hospital for a few days anyway.
Zhou Ranxi was not too good, walked over to Fu Shen Yan, lowered his voice and whispered, “Mr. Fu, I really didn’t mean to do it just now, I just haven’t seen it before, that thing, small and soft, looks similar to a snake, that’s why I ……”
“Pick it up should go back!” Fu Shen Yan opened his mouth, his voice was shallow, but he couldn’t hear the blame.
Zhou Ranxi froze and also squatted on the ground to pick up the fruits, many of which were stained with mud and would have to be washed back.
The two big bags of fruit are quite a lot, Zhou Ranxi has a bag in her hand, Fu Shen Yan has a bag in her hand, and it’s not appropriate for me to be empty-handed.
I looked at Zhou Ranxi and said, “Miss Zhou, why don’t I carry it?”
Zhou Ranxi subconsciously wanted to hand it to me, but hesitated and looked at Fu Shen Yan, then she laughed and said, “No need, you should be scared after falling from the tree, take a rest!”
I shook my head, a little grumpy in nature and said, “It’s okay, I didn’t fall anywhere, it doesn’t affect me!”
I reached out to take the bag from her hand and Fu Shen Yan looked at me, his brow furrowed, and said, “Give me the bag!”
I froze for a moment and shook my head, “It’s okay, I can carry it myself!”
His face was displeased, and his dark eyes looked at me with a bit of harshness as they moved.
I was a little frightened but said nothing. Half a second later, he handed me the bag in his hand as well and said, somewhat warmly and angrily, “If you like carrying it so much, carry it all!”
The action came so quickly that I was a little confused and eased up a little, watching him and Zhou Ranxi walk away.
I was a bit frozen, standing in place for half a day without easing up, so I had just P*ssed him off again?
A moment of helplessness, could not help but sigh, still but also still followed behind the two men.
Two bags of fruit, it would be a lie to say they weren’t heavy, but they weren’t so pretentious that I could still carry them.
After a short walk, I was a good distance behind them and before I knew it they were far away.
Because of the rain, the dirt road was waterlogged and my shoes were caked with mud, making it extra slippery to walk on.
I was a bit frightened, and after walking for a while, my hands were about to break, so I thought I would find a place to rest after this section of the road.
Who would have thought that the accident would come so quickly that I lost my footing, slipped and sat down directly in the mud puddle with my whole body.
“Flop!” The mud was splashed aside, and all the fruits in my hands turned into muddy fruits.
Where could I find clothes to change into?
I was so tired from the fall that I just sat down in the mud puddle.
