45 Coconuts (1/2)

Shouldn't she go through this forest first in order to head back?

”Then you go ahead first.” Yan Rusheng pointed at the coconut forest and allowed Wen Xuxu to enter first.

He assumed an unyielding manner and looked as if he'd wait until she was gone.

What was this fellow up to? When Wen Xuxu passed by Yan Rusheng, she glanced sideways and examined him with suspicion.

Even though she was really curious, she couldn't bear to hear Yan Rusheng yelling at her again.

Xuxu entered the coconut forest and walked forward on a straight path.

After walking for a while, she cautiously turned back. The old lady and Yan Rusheng had entered as well but they took a different route in the coconut forest.

What were they doing?

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. There was a mischievous gleam in Xuxu's eyes and she turned around with light and quiet footsteps.

She walked to the place where Yan Rusheng and the old lady had turned into and she stretched her neck to peer in that direction.

She could hear the old lady's voice rumbling about something, but she couldn't see them.

Her feet walked in the direction of her voice.

”I know, two baskets. You're really naggy.”

Suddenly, Yan Rusheng's frustrated voice could be heard and Wen Xuxu's heart gave a violent shudder. She stretched her hand to hold a coconut tree for support and looked ahead.

Yan Rusheng held a long pole in his hand and he pointed it towards a great coconut tree. There was a sickle at the top of the pole.
