The Crown Princess is busy fishing

The three girls chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the lychee grove on the back hill.

"This is it!" Li Er shouted from the front.

The others had already passed him and excitedly rushed into the woods.

Lin Yuge and the other two looked at the tree full of bright red lychees and happily ran forward.

Lin Yuge was the first to run to a lychee tree.

She looked up at the plump and tempting lychees, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

Reach out and grab a branch, then carefully pluck a lychee.

Peel back the outer skin to reveal the crystal-clear flesh.

Put it in your mouth and take a gentle bite; the sweet juice will instantly burst in your mouth.

"Wow, it's so sweet!" she exclaimed.

Daya and Cuicui quickly came to another tree.

Daya was quite agile; she climbed the tree directly.

I sat on a tree branch and began picking lychees from the higher branches.

As she picked the lychees, she said to Cui Cui below, "Cui Cui, catch them down here, I'm throwing the lychees down."

Cui Cui nodded quickly, and carefully caught the lychees that Daya threw down from the tree with her basket.

She looked at the fresh lychees in the basket, and her heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, Lin Qingzhou and several other boys were also busy under their respective trees.

Some of them used bamboo poles to knock the lychees off the branches.

Some people even climb the trees directly to pick the fruit.

Before long, the baskets and carrying baskets that the group had brought were all full.

Just as everyone was preparing to take a short break.

Shunzi, who had sharp eyes, suddenly shouted, "Look, isn't there something on that big tree?"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

Not far away, on a tall tree, hung a huge, dark object among the branches.

Li Er took a few steps closer and observed carefully.

"It looks like a giant beehive! We're in for a treat; there must be lots of honey inside!" they exclaimed excitedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and gathered around, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

Zhang Meng rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "Hehe, such a big beehive can yield a lot of honey. Let's hurry up and take it down."

Shunzi, however, was somewhat worried.

"This beehive looks quite large, and there must be a lot of bees inside. We need to be careful not to get stung."

They started discussing how to remove the beehive.

Lin Yuge made the suggestion.

"Let's use smoke first to drive the bees away; that would be safer."

The group thought it was a good idea, so they began to collect some dry branches and leaves to make a fire and create thick smoke.

Lin Qingzhou carefully lit the branches, and as the fire gradually grew, it produced a lot of thick smoke.

He took a smoking branch and slowly approached the beehive, trying to drive the bees away with the smoke.

Thick smoke billowed up and spread toward the hive.

Soon, a buzzing sound came from the hive, and the bees began to stir.

After a while, most of the bees flew away from the hive, driven by the thick smoke.

Lin Qingzhou seized the opportunity and said to Zhang Meng, "Zhang Meng, you're good at climbing trees."

"You go up and harvest the honey, we'll be down here to meet you."

Zhang Meng nodded, tightened his sleeves and trouser legs, and covered his head with a cloth, leaving only his eyes showing.

Then he quickly climbed the tree.

He approached the hive slowly and cautiously.

When he finally arrived at the beehive, he first used a sharp knife.

Carefully cut off the honey-covered outer layer of the honeycomb.

He cut off pieces of golden honey, one by one, and carefully placed the cut honeycomb into the bamboo tubes he had brought.

However, just when they thought the bees had been driven away and let their guard down...

A gust of wind blew by, and the smoke dispersed somewhat.

The remaining bees in the hive were suddenly enraged.

They swarmed out and flew menacingly towards them.

"Oh no, the bees are coming! Run!" Lin Qingzhou shouted.

Everyone panicked and scattered in all directions.

Lin Yuge, Da Ya, and Cuicui were terrified and ran forward as fast as they could.

Lin Yuge shouted as he ran, "Everyone, run out of the woods! Don't go deeper into the forest!"

The boys didn't care about anything else; they grabbed their baskets and backpacks and fled in a sorry state.

Li Er was running too fast and accidentally tripped over a tree branch, falling face-first into the mud.

Ignoring the pain, he got up and kept running.

Shunzi waved the clothes in her hand, trying to drive away the bees, but they still chased after her relentlessly.

Zhang Meng ran at the back, and he looked back once.

The swarm of bees followed closely behind, running even faster and making loud noises.

"Run! The bees are catching up!"

The bees buzzed behind them, as if a dark cloud were chasing them.

They wandered through the lychee grove, their clothes torn by branches, and several scratches appeared on their faces.

But at this moment, they couldn't care less about any of that.

Just as everyone was fleeing in panic, Lin Qingzhou suddenly discovered a cave in the mountain wall not far ahead.

His eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Quick, run to that cave over there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had seen a lifeline and rushed towards the cave.

They rushed into the cave.

Lin Qingzhou and Zhang Meng waved branches at the entrance of the cave, trying to stop the bees from entering.

The bees hovered around the entrance of the hole for a while before gradually dispersing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.

Da Ya patted her chest and said, "I was so scared! I almost got stung by bees and turned into a beehive."

After calming down, Cui Cui, still shaken, said, "Luckily we found this cave, otherwise I don't know what we would have done."

"Yeah! I've been here before, but I was so nervous I didn't even realize it," Li Er said, scratching his head sheepishly.

Lin Yuge couldn't help but laugh when she saw everyone's disheveled appearance.

"We look just like a group of refugees right now."

The group exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, apart from Zhang Meng, who was nearby and got a few bee stings on his hands, everyone else was fine.

At this moment, Cui Cui was helping him squeeze out the poisonous thorns, and his shouts could be heard from the cave from time to time.

"Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle!"

Lin Qingzhou couldn't help but tease, "Zhang Meng, you usually look quite brave, why are you yelling like this now?"

"Haha, but you can consider this the price you paid for our sweet harvest."

Everyone laughed when they heard that.

Zhang Meng grinned and said, "Stop laughing at me, it really hurts. You'll have to make it up to me when we get back."

Lin Yuge smiled and comforted him, "Alright, Brother Zhang Meng, take some honey back with you later, sweeten your mouth, and the pain will go away."

After regaining their senses, they began to examine the cave.

Lin Qingzhou curiously walked deeper into the cave.

As he walked to a spot, he noticed some shiny objects on the ground that shimmered in the dim light.

He quickly squatted down and examined it carefully.

These crystals are white or colorless and transparent, with regular geometric shapes.

At this moment, Lin Yuge walked over and asked, "Big brother, what are you looking at?"

"Little sister, what are these things? I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."
