Chapter 26 Unexpected Discovery next day After breakfast, Grandma Li and Fang Li were going to the city to buy some things and come to thank the villagers who helped go up the mountain to find Li Ying. But they were worried about leaving Li Ying alone at home. Grandma Li said to Li Yun who was about to go out: " Xiaoyun, take Ying'er with you, I'm not worried about her being alone at home."
"Mom, I want to follow Wang Qiang to help with some things within my ability. Is it inconvenient to bring Ying'er with me?" Li Yun said.
Fang Li: "What's the inconvenience? If you bring Ying'er, you can also give her a good meal."
Li Ying didn't want to be alone at home, so she followed Li Yun and had delicious food. She said with a smile: "Dad, take me with you. If you are dragged up the mountain by a ghost again, I can still save you."
Li Yun glared at Li Ying angrily, "My luck is not that bad, and something like that won't happen again."
"Dad, I smiled when I saw the photos on the mourning hall yesterday. Are you sure you don't want to take me with you?" Li Ying asked.
Li Yun's heart suddenly tightened after hearing Li Ying's words. He looked at Li Ying dubiously, unsure whether she was lying.
Seeing that Li Yun was doubting her, Li Ying curled her lips unhappily, "Forget it if you don't want to. I'll go and play with Shuanzi and the others."
After Li Ying finished speaking, she ran out of the door.
Just as Li Yun was about to say yes to Li Ying, he saw Li Ying rushing out the door like a rabbit on firecrackers, and could only shut up in silence.
Li Ying came to the village committee and saw Shuanzi and Niuer playing on the village courtyard dam. As soon as they saw Li Ying, they immediately rushed to Li Ying with smiles on their faces.
Niu'er looked at the injury on Li Ying's forehead and asked with concern: "Ying'er, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Li Ying said with a smile.
"Ying'er, I disappeared. I went to look for you, but my family didn't let me go." Shuanzi said.
"Ying'er, I want to find you too, but my family won't let me go to you," Shitou said.
……
Faced with Shuanzi's care, Li Ying's heart warmed, and she generously took out candies from her small satchel and gave them to them.
Shuan Zi held the candy in his mouth and said, "Ying'er, my brother-in-law picked a dozen wild blood peaches in Liuchong yesterday. They were delicious."
Niuer likes to eat peaches. After hearing what Shuanzi said, she immediately asked: "Shuanzi, are there really blood peaches in Liuchong?"
"Really, why did I lie to you?" Shuanzi replied.
Every household in the village likes to plant one or two fruit trees to satisfy their children’s cravings. Peaches and loquats are easy to survive and do not require much care. The villagers in Jinyin Village will plant one or two loquat trees and peach trees.
The varieties of peach trees are generally boneless peaches and hawkbill peaches, and there are basically no human species of blood peaches.
Niu'er likes to eat peaches. When she heard that there are blood peaches in Liuchong, they are still wild and can be picked at will. She drooled with greed and suggested: "Blood peaches are delicious. Can we go to Liuchong to pick blood peaches?"
"Liuchong is very close to the cemetery. My grandma said it was very unlucky and I was not allowed to go there," Shitou said.
"We're not going to the cemetery, what are we afraid of?" Niu'er said.
Shitou looked at Shuanzi and Li Ying. Shuanzi was seven years old this year and was more courageous. He said nonchalantly: "If Ying'er goes, I'll go!"
Niu'er looked at Li Ying, took Li Ying's hand and said, "Ying'er, I want to eat snow peaches, please accompany me to pick snow peaches!"
"Okay!" Li Ying said.
Li Ying and the others walked and played, and came to Liuchong leisurely.
"Shuanzi, where did your uncle find the blood peach?" Niuer scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I forgot to ask my uncle."
"What, you don't know where the blood peach tree is?" Li Ying exclaimed.
Shuanzi nodded honestly.
It's as big as Liu Chong. I don't know where the blood peach tree is. How can they find the blood peach?Li Ying looked at Shuanzi speechlessly, she was really convinced! Niu'er has already arrived at Liuchong and will not leave lightly. She said: "Let's look around. Maybe we are lucky and we will find the blood peach tree and have sweet and crunchy blood peaches to eat."
Li Ying also felt that Niu'er's words were right. Now that she was here, she looked around, otherwise her trip would have been in vain.
Li Ying lamely looked up. After searching for a long time, he couldn't see a single leaf on the blood peach tree.
"Shuanzi, why didn't you see the blood peach tree? You didn't lie to us on purpose, did you?" Shitou said.
"The blood peach tree must have grown in a hidden place, otherwise it would have been picked by the villagers. If I look for it again, I might find it," Shuanzi said.
Niu'er thought Shuanzi was right, so she pulled Li Ying and continued looking.
The stone suddenly stopped, pointed at the cliff halfway up the mountain and said, "Ying'er, look at what that is?"
Li Ying followed the direction of the stone's finger and saw a touch of red emerging from the cracks in the stone. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said happily: "It might be that treasure."
"Ying'er, are you saying that there might be the treasure those treasure hunters are looking for?" Shitou said overjoyed.
Shuan Zile's eyes narrowed and he said excitedly: "If we find the treasure, we will have endless money?"
"Let's go home quickly and let the adults get the treasure, otherwise it will be taken away." Niu'er said anxiously.
"You are stupid! What if we walk on the front foot and someone takes away the treasure on the back foot?" Shuanzi said.
After hearing Shuanzi's words, Niuer suddenly smiled, "Yes!"What if the baby is taken away as soon as they leave? "Ying'er, let's go to Baby now and find the four of us equally." Shitou said impatiently.
"The cliff is a bit steep. What if I fall and get injured? Besides, we don't know if there are any treasures in the cave?" Li Ying expressed her opinion.
"Whether there is one or not, I have to go take a look." Shuanzi said and took the lead to walk towards the mountainside.
Niu'er and Shitou followed closely behind, worried that if they walked too slowly, all the treasures would be taken away by the bolts, and they wouldn't have any share.
Li Ying watched Niu'er and the others rushing to find the treasure, leaving her alone behind and followed helplessly.
Li Ying and the others came to the bottom of the cliff and looked at where to go up.
Li Ying saw the mud from the landslide on the left, which had accumulated several meters high over the years, and said loudly: "Where we are walking from, it is close to the rock crevice, and it is not that steep."
Shuanzi and the others looked to the left. Sure enough, they were closer to the stone crevice. They were overjoyed and trotted to the left. They walked up impatiently.
Li Ying followed them and walked up carefully.
"Ouch!" Niuer's feet slipped and she fell to the ground. Shitou walked over and helped Niuer stand up.
Li Ying reminded: "There are potholes on the ground, as well as thatch and thorns. If you are not careful, you may fall down and be cut by sharp leaves or stabbed by thorns. Girls, stones and bolts, please be careful. Walk slower.”
With Li Ying's reminder, Shuanzi and Shitou slowed down a lot, and Niuer was even more careful with every step she took, fearing she would fall again.
