Chapter 38 Adventure, Treasure ([-])

"It's here." Yuan Bao jumped off the carriage and tied the reins to the trunk of a big tree. "All the fruits here are edible."

"Brother, that fruit is so beautiful." Tao Liangliang pointed to the clusters of purple-red fruits and jumped happily. "I want to eat, I want to eat."

Relying on his tall and straight body, Yuan Bao picked off a bunch of fruits as soon as he stretched out his hand, and used the clear spring beside him to wash the fruits before handing them to Tao Liangliang.

"Master, what is this kind of fruit called?" Tao Qiqi grabbed one and bit it lightly, falling in love with its sweet and sour taste.

Yuan Bao had read a book called "Fragrant Hundred Fruits" before, which recorded all kinds of fruits, and described the appearance and taste of the fruits in detail. "The ones we eat now are called grapes, but we can also call them bodhi seeds."

"Grape? Bodhi seed?" Tao Qiqi looked at Yuan Bao in surprise. "Why are there two names?"

Yuan Bao tried his best to think back, and then he remembered the other two nicknames. "These two are just the most common names, and some people call it Dragon Ball or Mountain Gourd."

"Brother, I want to eat that." Tao Liangliang pointed to a small tree full of red fruits right in front of him.

Yuan Bao patted Tao Liangliang's shoulder. "Liangliang, that tree is a cherry tree, the fruit doesn't need to be washed, you can eat it directly, go pick it and eat it yourself."

"Okay." Tao Liangliang walked over obediently, took one off and threw it into her mouth.After tasting the taste, Xu felt that it was not enough, so he pulled a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.It melts in the mouth, and the sweet juice that only belongs to cherries bursts on the tip of the tongue instantly.Not wanting to devour such a delicacy by himself, Tao Liangliang immediately turned his head and waved to Tao Qiqi. "Sister, come quickly, the cherries are delicious."

Tao Qi couldn't help Tao Liangliang's call, walked forward and picked a few of them and put them in his mouth. "It's so delicious, how can there be such deliciousness in this world."

"Wow, brother, what is this?" Tao Liangliang's attention was attracted by a big green ball on the ground.

"This is called a watermelon." Yuan Bao picked up the big watermelon that Tao Liangliang was pointing at, and tapped lightly on the stone beside it.A crack appeared on the round body of the melon, and a few drops of rosy juice slid down the crack, staining the soft green grass.Break the watermelon into several pieces and hand them to Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang respectively. "Try it, it's very sweet."

Tao Liangliang almost buried her entire face on the watermelon, gnawing on the flesh. "tasty."

"Liangliang, eat slowly, there are still plenty." Tao Qiqi looked at Tao Liangliang with a funny face, pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom and walked towards him.At this moment, Tao Qiqi's foot stepped on an unremarkable pebble, the ground collapsed instantly, and Tao Qiqi's feet were empty. "what."

Fortunately, Yuan Bao was nimble and swift, and grabbed Tao Qiqi's wrist and pulled her up, thus avoiding the tragedy of Tao Qiqi falling into the pit. "Qiqi, are you alright?"

Tao Qiqi was still in shock, his mind went blank.

"Sister." Tao Liangliang dropped the watermelon in his hand, and ran to Tao Qiqi's side regardless of the stickiness in his hand, shaking her. "Sister, are you okay?"

"No, it's all right." Tao Qiqi blinked his big eyes in a daze, feeling lingering fear.

Yuan Bao looked at the bottom of the deep pit, and found several stairs, and there was even a faint light emitting from the bottom of the pit. "It seems that this is a hole dug by man."

"Master, let's go down and have a look." Tao Qiqi's curiosity was greater than the fear of almost falling into a pit.

"Liangliang is going too." Tao Liangliang said not to be outdone.

Yuan Bao frowned, disapproving of their thoughts. "Don't go, it's too dangerous. The origin of this pit is unknown, what if there is an agency?"

"Aren't you the young master who protects us?" Tao Qiqi looked adored and flattering.

"That's right." Tao Liangliang echoed repeatedly. "My brother will definitely protect us."

A sense of frustration came to Yuan Bao's heart, he couldn't refuse their request at all. "Okay, I'll take you there. Remember, no matter what happens, you must stay behind me, don't run around, don't..."

"Got it, got it." Tao Qiqi couldn't wait to interrupt Yuan Bao's next words. "Let's go down quickly."

"..." Yuan Bao was speechless, so he hugged Tao Liangliang in his arms, and dragged Tao Qiqi down the stairs together.

The surrounding darkness became brighter as the three of them got closer and closer to the bottom of the pit. Looking carefully, there were countless cherry-sized luminescent beads inlaid on the stone walls on both sides.

"What, what are these?" Tao Qiqi stared at the beads on the wall dumbfounded.

It was also the first time Yuan Bao saw so many Ye Mingzhu, he was not much better than Tao Qiqi, and his answer was a bit slow. "Ye, Ye Mingzhu."

"I want coolness, I want coolness." Tao Liangliang struggled to get off Yuan Bao's body, trying to pick off a few and give them to Tao Qiqi, Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan.

"Liangliang, what did I tell you? Didn't I tell you to be obedient and not run around?" Yuan Bao pulled Tao Liangliang's back collar, brought him back to his side, and scolded him angrily. "I don't know if there is a mechanism in this cave. What if something happens?"

"Oh." Tao Liangliang drooped his shoulders in frustration, and stayed honestly beside Yuan Bao, not daring to act rashly again.

Tao Qiqi held Tao Liangliang's little hand, and instructed him carefully. "Liangliang, don't let go of my sister's hand."

"Alright, let's move on, follow me." Yuan Bao took a step forward, blocking Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang.Yuan Bao found that the road ahead was only big enough for an adult man to pass, Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang were small and thin, more than enough for two people to walk. "I'm here to find out."

"Okay." "Okay." Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang agreed in unison.

Yuan Bao took a step forward and observed the surrounding situation, for fear of accidentally bumping into some mechanism or the like.

There was no danger, the three of them walked for about a stick of incense, and finally stood in front of a stone gate under fear.

What is amazing is that, over such a long distance, the luminous pearls inlaid on the stone wall never let go of any vacancies, filling all the gaps.

Yuan Bao frowned and looked at the walls on both sides of the stone gate. "Since there is a door here, you can definitely go out. Look around and see if there is anything strange or unusual."

"Master, is this it?" Tao Qiqi saw a blue-black gemstone on the right wall that was completely different from the white night pearl.

"Maybe, maybe not." Yuan Bao was not sure, and looked at the two solemnly. "Now, I give you two choices. One, turn around, there must be a way out, and you can go home safely. Two, there is a half chance that the gemstone is the button of the mechanism, maybe it is also the button of the Shimen."

"This..." Tao Qiqi hesitated, wanting to retreat. "Let's go back, in case there is a mechanism behind the stone gate, we will only have a dead end if we press the gemstone."

"No, Liangliang wants to go in." Tao Liangliang quickly broke away from Tao Qiqi's hand and pressed the gem.

Tao Qiqi and Yuan Bao didn't have time to stop them, they could only watch Tao Liangliang's willful behavior with fear.

Yuan Baofei swooped in, hugged Tao Qiqi and Tao Liangliang into his arms, turned around, turned his back to Shimen, intending to use them as a shield.
