Knowing that the little princesses wanted to find bamboo shoots, the old woman looked at them and led the three little princesses to a bamboo grove.

She first dug into the soil to make sure there were bamboo shoots underneath, then turned to the little princess and said, "Come here, these are bamboo shoots."

The three little princesses exchanged a glance and ran towards their aunt.

The old woman smiled and patiently accompanied the three little princesses as they dug for a while before going to dig her own.

The little princess waved to her aunt from behind, saying, "Thank you, Grandma!"

Only after watching the old lady go to another place to dig bamboo shoots did the three little princesses squat down and continue.

When Xiao Ran arrived, he saw three little princesses squatting on the ground, forming a circle.

“Si Zi, Sanskrit pronunciation, seventeen.”

Xiao Ran called out to each of them one by one.

The little princess turned around, stood up, and hugged Xiao Ran's leg.

"Little Bag~"

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head.

What are you all doing squatting here?

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's question, the little princess quickly grabbed Xiao Ran's hand and walked towards the bamboo shoots.

As they walked, they said, "Little Nang-kun~ We're digging for bamboo shoots~"

In the time it takes to say two sentences, they arrived in front of him.

By this time, the three of them had already dug out more than half of the bamboo shoots.

"This bamboo shoot is really big."

Xiao Ran looked at the bamboo shoots and said, then looked at the little princess, "You guys are really amazing."

The little princess giggled after being praised, then pointed to the older woman a short distance away and said, "Grandma found it~ Grandma's amazing~"

Xiao Ran also looked at the old woman who was digging bamboo shoots, but did not go over.

Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, it's best not to keep them busy.

So Xiao Ran simply looked at the little princess and asked, "Did you say thank you to your grandmother?"

The little princess nodded quickly.

Yes, there is!

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head, "Sizi is such a good girl."

The little princess shook her head and said, "I'm the best girl~"

Xiao Ran was amused by her appearance and could only agree, "Yes, yes, Si Zi is the best."

After saying that, Xiao Ran looked at the bamboo shoot that had been dug out halfway and asked, "Shall I dig it with Si Zi?"

The little princess was naturally delighted to have a young man digging with her, and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay~ Let's go together, Little Nang-kun~"

Xiao Ran had a hoe in his hand, but the three little princesses had nothing in their hands because they were too small and it would be easy for them to get hurt if they held a hoe, and there were no hoes prepared for children to use.

So the three little princesses dug these bamboo shoots slowly using the branches they found.

Actually, this was Xiao Ran's first time encountering bamboo shoots. He had been chatting with Li Lizhi and Xiao Ruoying for quite some time, and every now and then he would go over to take a look at people digging bamboo shoots, just like joining in the fun.

Now, bamboo shoots finally appeared before him.

Xiao Ran gripped the hoe handle with both hands and then swung it down hard.

With a crisp sound, the bamboo shoots that had been growing on the ground were now lying flat when Xiao Ran took out his hoe.

Just
These bamboo shoots look a bit small.

The little princess walked over, picked up a bamboo shoot from the ground, then looked at the bamboo shoots that were still in the ground and hadn't been dug up, and then looked at Xiao Ran.

She said nothing, but it seemed like she said everything.

Princess Gaoyang paused for a moment, then said, "Brother, you broke the hoe."

Xiao Ran also saw this result, but he didn't care much about it.

"It's okay, if it breaks, just dig around the bottom again."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran tried again, this time digging out part of what was underground as well.

The little princess was still clutching the tip of the bamboo shoot when she saw that the bamboo shoots below had also been dug out. She quickly ran over, picked up the bamboo shoots, and put them into her little basket.

This little basket was something we already had at home; we bought it specifically for our three little princesses.

I don't usually need it, but I used it this time.

"Little Nangjun~ Bamboo Shoot~"

The little princess shook the backpack she was carrying.

"So many bamboo shoots and duck! I can't resist the spice!"

Xiao Ran looked at the pitiful bamboo shoot in the little princess's basket, which was broken in two, and couldn't help but laugh.

"That's a lot? How about we find one for each of Fan Yin and Seventeen?"

The little princess nodded quickly, counting the people on her fingers.

"For Second Sister and Seventeenth Sister~ And First Sister~ Sixth Sister~ And also~"

Seeing that the little princess was about to say a lot more, Xiao Ran quickly reached out and covered the little princess's mouth.

If we follow the little princess's suggestion, let's not even talk about whether we can finish eating all the bamboo shoots we bring back, let alone the fact that he can't find that many! Even if he could find them, digging for bamboo shoots is very tiring.

Xiao Ran stood beside a bamboo stalk, exhaling a deep breath, his breath filled with the fresh mountain breeze.

Li Lizhi also happened to walk here.

"Xiao Lang-jun?"

She raised her head and looked at Li Lizhi.

"Changle."

Li Lizhi walked over and asked, "What's this?"

Xiao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"We found a bamboo shoot and are digging it up now."

This was the fourth bamboo shoot they had dug up, and Xiao Ran was covered in sweat from digging.

The main problem is that the sun is already high in the sky, and the temperature is getting hotter and hotter. Plus, you have to bend over and walk back and forth to find bamboo shoots, so it's perfectly normal to feel tired.

But looking at the three little princesses who were still very cheerful, Xiao Ran was sometimes really curious: did the little princesses have inexhaustible energy?

At this moment, the little princess was digging bamboo shoots with the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang. They were digging the same bamboo shoot that Xiao Ran had just dug up.

The little princess then solemnly declared, "Little Nangjun is chatting with his older sister~ We need to be good and dig this bamboo shoot out!"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang listened to the little princess quite well. After the little princess finished speaking, the three of them went up again with the tree branches.

A small twig doesn't really do much good, but at least the little princess had a lot of fun.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.

At the time, Xiao Ran was talking to Li Lizhi, and the three little princesses were digging in the soil with tree branches, so no one paid any attention.

By the time they noticed, they could already see the crowd, including the old lady who was helping the three little princesses find bamboo shoots.

"Grandma~"

The little princess greeted her warmly.

The old woman stopped and looked at Xiao Ran with a smile, "Is this your child?"

Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, this is my sister, and these two are too."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran lowered his head and looked at the three little princesses, "Quickly greet Grandma." "Hello, Grandma~"

This time, the three little princesses spoke in unison.

The old lady was overjoyed by the three of them calling her that.

"Oh my, so cute! These three kids are so good-looking and lucky."

"You're so lucky" is a common compliment used by older generations to younger generations.

Xiao Ran smiled and patted the little princess's head, then asked, "Auntie, what happened over there just now?"

The old woman said, "Oh, someone just spotted bamboo rats, so everyone's been catching them. By the way, if you see any, you can try catching one too. Although they look so much like rats that it's hard to bring yourself to eat them, they taste very delicious. And even if you don't eat them yourself, you can still make money by selling them."

Xiao Ran understood and nodded to the old woman, "Oh, I see. Thank you for telling me, Auntie."

The old woman laughed, "Oh, it's nothing, there's no need to thank me. Alright, I'm not chatting with you anymore, I'm going to look for bamboo rats too."

As she was leaving, the old woman was stopped by the little princess.

"Grandma~ wait a minute, I'm coming~"

The old woman turned around, looked at the little princess with short arms and legs, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you want to come with me and leave your brother behind?"

Upon hearing this, the little princess immediately hugged Xiao Ran's leg.

"I want Little Nangjun~"

Xiao Ran moved his legs. "Okay, I want it. Grandma was just kidding."

The little princess wasn't worried about losing it, but instead asked her aunt, "Grandma~ is that mouse really that good?"

The old woman laughed, "I thought something was wrong with the child, but it turns out he was thinking about this, hahaha."

After laughing, the old lady said to the little princess, "It's delicious. Whether you roast it directly or use it in soup, it's very tasty."

The little princess swallowed hard and asked again, "What kind of thing is that? It's a rat!"

The old lady patiently explained, "Bamboo rats look a bit like mice, only much bigger."

Xiao Ran simply used his phone to search for bamboo rats.

After finishing the search, Xiao Ran placed his phone in front of the little princess.

"Look, Sizi, this is a bamboo rat, and the ones below are mice."

The little princess glanced at the picture and remembered what the bamboo rat looked like.

"Little Nangjun~ Let's go find this seven-legged mouse~ I want a seven-legged mouse~"

The little princess blinked her big, bright eyes and stared intently at Xiao Ran. How could Xiao Ran possibly refuse?

Besides, we're here to have fun, so what's the difference what we do?

So Xiao Ran said, "Okay, if we can catch a bamboo rat, we'll eat it. But if we can't catch one, we'll go back and eat bamboo shoots, okay?"

The little princess thought that no matter what, there would be delicious food, so she quickly nodded.

However, bamboo rats are fast runners, and someone just happened to find one, which led to everyone chasing after it.

But that bamboo rat is either caught or has already run away, so there's no way to find it again. If the little princess wants to eat it, she can only rely on her own luck.

The three little princesses didn't forget to dig for bamboo shoots either.

After discussing it, they decided to finish what they started and dig out the bamboo shoots first, and then go look for more bamboo shoots.

Xiao Ran didn't interfere with their decision. After they made their decision, he simply encouraged them, saying, "You'll definitely find it. Keep going!"

The little princess pursed her lips, nodded seriously, and then dug bamboo shoots with the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang.

With Xiao Ran around, they were able to dig bamboo shoots much faster.

Looking at the bamboo shoot in front of her, the little princess reached out and hugged it tightly, trying to pull it out.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang saw this and quickly came over to help.

The three little ones were also very clever. They knew they couldn't pull the bamboo shoot out on their own, so they simply used their physical strength to try and break the bamboo shoot off by the roots.

However, while the bamboo shoot did break, the three little princesses also fell on their bottoms.

"Hmm~"

The little princess pouted and covered her bottom.

Xiao Ran finished chatting with someone and turned around to see this scene. He quickly ran back, picked up the little princess, and helped the Chengyang and Gaoyang princesses up as well.

"Sizi Fanyin Seventeen, does it hurt?"

The little princess pouted, touched her bottom, and then her expression suddenly froze, turning into one of curiosity.

"Little Pouch~ It doesn't hurt at all~ How amazing~"

As she spoke, the little princess continued to touch her bottom, making Xiao Ran both amused and exasperated.

After placing the little princess on the ground, Xiao Ran checked them over again. Seeing that the three of them only had slightly dirty clothes, but no scratches or abrasions, Xiao Ran was finally relieved.

However, he still reminded me, "If you feel unwell in any way, tell me, okay?"

The three little princesses nodded quickly, and the little princess couldn't wait to start eating the bamboo rat.

"Little Nangjun~ Foot Mouse Foot Mouse~"

Xiao Ran shrugged, looking helpless. "I don't know where to find bamboo rats either. It depends on Si Zi's luck."

The little princess stretched out her little arm, cheering herself on, "I'm the luckiest!"

As she spoke, the little princess took Chengyang's hand with her left hand and Gaoyang's hand with her right hand, and ran forward.

Xiao Ran was afraid they might fall again, so he quickly said, "Si Zi Fan Yin Seventeen, walk slowly! Don't fall!"

The little princess's voice came from the air: "Wojido La~"

Watching the three little ones' cheerful figures, Xiao Ran chuckled softly.

The little princess kept muttering "bamboo rat" all the way, and smiled sweetly at everyone she met, then asked if they had seen any bamboo rats.

"Beautiful Auntie~ Where are you, Djibouti Island's little rat?!"

The little princess looked up at a woman and said.

The woman asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of bamboo rats?"

The little princess quickly shook her head, "No! Mice are too spicy!"

As she spoke, the little princess swallowed hard, her anticipation clearly visible.

The woman laughed heartily, then took a plump bamboo rat from her basket and placed it in the little princess's basket.

"Since you like it, then take it and eat it."

With that, the woman turned and left, and the little princess couldn't catch up.

Princess Chengyang took the little princess's hand and said, "Sizi, let's go back to find the young master first."

The little princess nodded and turned to find Xiao Ran.

Thankfully, the bamboo rat the woman gave us was already processed; otherwise, with the three of them causing all that trouble, it would have run away long ago.

Xiao Ran was resting on a rock when he saw the three little princesses walking over hand in hand.

"What's wrong, Sizi? Did you find the bamboo rat?"

Xiao Ran was just teasing the little princess. Bamboo rats are hard to find and even harder to catch. The chances of the three little princesses catching a bamboo rat are almost zero.

The three little princesses walked up to Xiao Ran and, one after another, told him what had just happened.

Upon hearing the end, Xiao Ran's lips twitched.

So you have bamboo rats now?

The little princess nodded and showed her small basket to Xiao Ran, who immediately spotted the bamboo rat wrapped in large leaves. (End of Chapter)
