Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Taking advantage of the night, Yuan Lai found the dog hole at the side door of the palace, pulled aside the weeds next to it, and tried to crawl in.

"Red envelope, red envelope! I even went through a dog hole for you."

It turned out that the door of Li Hao's room was locked, and two servants were napping on the steps.

Yuan Lai listened carefully, but there was no sound in the room.

"Nothing will happen to the red envelope, right?"

Walking to the only window, she heard the maids talking inside.

Through the gap, Hongbao was eating leisurely in the room. Hearing the noise outside, Hongbao pricked up his ears alertly.

After the maid left, Hongbao leaned on the window and looked out.

Yuan Lai quickly grabbed the red envelope and put it in his arms, then crawled out of the palace as fast as he could.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Hongbao twisted his body wildly in front of Yuan Lai, then jumped to the ground and wagged his tail at Yuan Lai.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see your father."

She had been so busy shopping during the day that she had forgotten about the redemption. Now it was too late to think about it. The jewelry store should have closed long ago.

Forget it, I'll come back when I have the chance. Or maybe the boss has already gone to Xihu Kingdom with the hairpin.

Yuan Lai glanced in the direction of the jewelry store and wanted to go in and take a look, but he was afraid of being discovered and causing trouble for his brothers.

It’s better to go back as soon as possible.

Yuan Lai took the red envelope and walked into an alley where a carriage was parked.

The earlier carriage had been abandoned on the way to escape, so she could only rent a new one at the post station.

The rental of this carriage was quite expensive, and it almost cost us all our family assets.

But without any means of transportation, she would die if she just walked.

"Hongbao, get on, I'll drive."

Yuan Lai lifted the curtain and found the emperor of Chu Liang sitting inside.

She hurriedly took a few steps back, picked up the red envelope and ran away.

But no matter how far she ran, the carriage was always in front of her. Kah leaned half out of the carriage and asked, "Why are you running?"

The king of a country appeared in his carriage, and he was a cold-blooded emperor with a wanted order issued. Who wouldn't run away?

Kah pointed a finger at Yuan Lai and asked, "Am I scary?"

Yuan Lai suddenly felt that he was completely unable to move, and his feet felt as if they were tied with a thousand-pound weight, and were extremely heavy.

The red envelope fell to the ground, blocking Yuan Lai and growling at Kah.

Kah opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "Come up."

Yuan Lai involuntarily got in the car and sat next to Kah. Hong Bao followed closely behind, jumped in the car, and also sat next to Kah.

The driverless carriage suddenly rushed forward at high speed.

When the carriage stopped, Kah finally broke the silence and said gently, "The mission is accomplished, go back quickly."

Yuan Lai was full of questions. What was going on?

I got off the car holding the red envelope, and in front of me was an endless mountain range, which was definitely Cangkong Mountain.

Looking back, I saw tears in Kah's eyes and he seemed very sleepy.

"You..." Don't you want to go in and take a look?

Kah turned around without saying a word and drove away in his carriage.

Yuan Lai and Hong Bao walked along the stream and came across a lush bamboo forest. Just a few dozen meters away, there was a hill at the end of the forest. There was a cave on the left side of the hill.

Enter from the cave entrance. It is a bit narrow at first, barely enough for two people to pass through. After walking about 50 meters, you will see the exit of the cave.

Hongbao was the first to come out, howling a few times at the top of his lungs.

Yuan Lai felt like he had become the Wuling fisherman in Jin Taiyuan and had encountered the Peach Blossom Spring.

The terraced fields in front of me are undulating and crisscrossed. The brothers are harvesting rice in the fields with sickles. Everyone has a smile on his face and is happy.

Seeing the red envelope, Chen Shaoxi was the first to shout, "Hey! Yuan Lai is back! Red envelope! Come quickly! Red envelope, come and harvest the rice!"

Li Hao straightened up and was very surprised to see the red envelope. The sickle in his hand fell to the ground, and he opened his arms to welcome the red envelope running towards him.

"Wang Wang Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

The other brothers came forward and checked Hongbao's body. Seeing that Hongbao's fur was shiny, his belly was bulging, and his eyes were bright, they instantly felt relieved.

"You kid, we're clearing the land here, and you've become so fat and strong."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Hongbao actively responded to the brothers' concern and wanted to lick everyone.

Zhuangzhuang came back from drying the rice and saw another one of his kind in the field. He touched his head and asked, "Who is he?"

Hongbao realized the presence of a stranger and his hair stood on end. He stared at Zhuangzhuang with hostility.

"This is our puppy, named Hongbao." Li Hao acted as a matchmaker and introduced Hongbao and Zhuangzhuang to each other.

Lu Zhuo noticed Yuan Lai standing there in a daze, and asked with concern, "Did you have a smooth journey? Did you see any pursuers?"

After coming back to his senses, Yuan Lai briefly told everyone about how he returned to Chu Liang to rescue the red envelope.

But she didn't say that it was the Emperor of Chuliang who sent her back.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Gengyun gave Yuan Lai a thumbs up, "You're awesome!"

Wang Yiheng and He Haonan gathered together, chatting and laughing. Then, holding a simple sickle, he looked around exaggeratedly and said casually, "Oh, there's an extra sickle! Who took an extra tool?"

The hidden meaning entered his ears, and Yuan Lai took the sickle consciously, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

The two brothers, who were smug just now, suddenly became serious and desperately hid their sickles behind their backs. "Are you kidding me? Why would I let you start working right after you come back? At least you should have a drink of water!"

“No, no, no, Yuan Lai has worked so hard, go and rest, we’ll be fine here.”

Yuan Lai muttered to himself, I'm not tired at all, why should I be tired if someone sends me off?

"Yuan Lai just came back, how can you do this?" Zhuo Yuan walked to the edge of the field, put on his homemade bamboo hat, picked up another one and walked over to Yuan Lai, "Unlike me, I even made a sun protection hat for Yuan Lai."

This bamboo hat is made by woven several thin bamboo strips together. It is a very rough craftsmanship, but it can be worn.

Yuan Lai put the hat on his head and felt like he was wearing a golden hoop.

"Zhang Yaoyuan, you're saying that, right?" Zhao Yibo laughed out loud, throwing the rice on Zhuo Yuan's calf. "I made this hat!"

"Yes, yes, but we made it up." Li Gengyun responded positively.

Jiang Dunhao just focused on harvesting rice, oblivious to what was happening outside.

Zhuo Yuan retorted, "What's the matter? I can't wear what you made! Xiao Tong and I even cleaned up the room for you! Don't sleep at night!"

"Just sleep in the mountains and have a monster buffet at night." Zhao Xiaotong usually doesn't talk, but when he does, it makes people want to laugh.

Yuan Lai advised, "Don't quarrel, nine brothers and one younger brother, don't quarrel."

He Haonan emphasized to Wang Yiheng, "Oh, a younger brother!"

"Hey, hey, you are all brothers, and I am the younger brother." Wang Yiheng was depressed.

Chen Shaoxi laughed, "Hahahaha, as long as you understand. I'll always be your brother."

With the experience of rice harvesting, harvesting rice in these terraced fields was no problem at all, and we finished get off work quickly.

However, it is very unusual that such a desolate mountain has artificially cultivated terraces. Could there be other people living in this mountain?

In the evening, the sun hides behind the mountains and the sky in the mountains becomes gloomy.

Yuan Lai and his brothers brought in the supplies that had been unloaded from the carriage earlier and took out a bundle of candles. "There was no electricity in ancient times. Fortunately, I bought candles, one for each person, so we can save them."

Lu Zhuozhuoyuan and Zhao Xiaotong took some ingredients and pots to cook, Jiang Dunhao, Li Gengyun and Chen Shaoxi continued to camouflage the cave entrance outside the cave, Zhao Yibo and Wang Yiheng helped to make a fire and prepare food, Li Hao and He Haonan calculated and distributed the supplies evenly to everyone.

Only Yuan Laihongbao and Zhuangzhuang were left staring at each other.

Especially Hongbao and Zhuangzhuang, they dislike each other, but they have to compromise because they live under the same roof.

Zhuangzhuang stroked his beard and showed off to Hongbao, "Look at me, I'm so motivated. And look at you, you're still just a dog."

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" Hongbao responded without hesitation.

"But since you're young, if you call me Master, I'll teach you. How's that? Isn't that a good deal? These days, there aren't many demons as good as me."

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" Hongbao continued to bark, and then hid behind Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai didn't understand what Hong Bao was saying, but he could feel Hong Bao's resistance.

"You're still not willing? Do you know how important opportunity and luck are? How many dogs want to become humans but can't? You've met a noble person!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" Hongbao said something again, and Zhuangzhuang's face changed.

It turns out that people of the same kind understand each other best, and just a few words can make the other person shut up.

Zhuangzhuang was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Actually, our demon race also had a glorious time. Back then, many demons gathered in Zhaoming Valley, and humans could only retreat. But the strong and the weak have alternated, and now Cangkong Mountain is desolate, Zhaoming Valley is deserted, and the demon race can only be inferior to humans."

Perhaps it was because history was too heavy. Zhuangzhuang wiped away a few bitter tears as he spoke, "Forget it, if I don't want to learn, then I don't. With that guy Lu Zizhou around, it's basically all in vain."

Hongbao lay down and shook Zhuangzhuang's feet with his tail.

Only then did Yuan Lai notice that Zhuangzhuang had always been barefoot.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

"I'm not used to wearing that stuff."

Jiang Dunhao came over and asked softly, "Do you know where your room is?"

"My brother told me," Yuan Lai pointed to the cave closest to Yunxiao Wood, "there."

"Well, we'll live on the left, and you can live on the right. Is there anything wrong with this arrangement? Do you have any other requests? We'll try to accommodate you."

Why would you need a bicycle when you live in the mountains? Having one is good enough, as it’s just a temporary stay, not a permanent one.

"It's fine, big brother."

Jiang Dunhao nodded and turned to check on the cooking team.

Li Gengyun and Chen Shaoxi erected a fence outside Yuan Lai's cave, blocking the entire entrance.

"Yuan Lai, look, can you see inside from the outside?"

"can not see."

The two men nodded, then went outside to make improvements, filling the gaps with rice straw, and the fence became a door.

Built between two large stones, privacy is guaranteed.

Yuan Lai saw some fence doors in front of the cave where her brothers lived. It seemed that these people had done a lot of things during the days she was away.

I originally thought that they would only stay here for a week at most, but I didn't expect that the people of Chu Liangguo were so persistent and would not give up until they caught them. Their portraits were everywhere on the official road, and the large army would be caught as soon as they went out.

Although there was food in the mountains, supplies were scarce, so Yuan Lai had to go out to buy it from time to time.

No matter how much money you have, it will only go out and not in, and you will soon run out of money.

Jiang Dunhao called everyone together for a meeting to discuss future plans.

Most people think that we should move to the city.

However, some people also said that it is not impossible to live in the mountains for a long time.

"As long as we're together, anywhere is fine."
