The little boy climbed up the tree quickly.

A proud smile appeared on his young facial features.

...

Plum Girl appeared in front of the little boy.

It doesn't like humans coming near its plum tree.

Especially the human beings who have the idea of ​​plum blossom.

However, Mei Nu frowned slightly.

This is just a human child.

If he wants plum blossoms, for Master Xiao Xiao's sake-

After all, being able to enter the courtyard, this child must have some relationship with Master Xiao Xiao.

It is willing to give him a plum blossom.

...

Mei Nu's figure that was about to disappear became more solid.

It opened its eyes wide, and a trace of anger flashed across its cold face.

...

The little boy stretched out his hand, but the target was not the nearest plum blossom, but the branches under the plum blossom.

He wanted to break off a whole branch covered with plum blossoms.

Huh?

The little boy was stunned for a moment.

Can’t fold?

The little boy subconsciously crawled out a little.

Use both hands to grasp the branches with force.

Unexpectedly, the branches moved slightly, and he felt the scenery before his eyes change, and the wind whistled in his ears.

He fell?!

The boy was about to open his mouth and scream.

But he found himself sitting safely on the ground.

little boy:?

...

The plum girl stood on the branch of a plum tree and gave the little boy a cold look.

Although it threw the little boy down, it also knew that humans are very fragile. If it really let the little boy fall to the ground, the little boy would most likely die.

This little boy may be someone Xiao Xiao knows.

It cannot cause trouble to Mr. Xiao Xiao.

At the last moment, the plum girl pursed her lips slightly, and a branch of the plum tree quickly sprang out and supported the little boy's back.

Until the little boy fell to the ground, the branches retracted silently.

...

The little boy turned around and looked around, with a look of confusion and confusion on his face.

He obviously fell, why didn't anything happen?

But the white plum blossoms in front of him quickly made him forget this doubt.

He got up and was about to pick white plums again.

But I heard a "ding" sound.

He subconsciously lowered his head to follow the sound and saw that his marbles were rolling and rolling, and then, "Plop~Plop...", they fell into the pond one after another.

...

The little boy hurriedly touched his pants pocket.

There were only two marbles on the open palm.

He originally had five marbles.

Three are missing.

...

The little boy suddenly forgot about picking white plums.

He walked quickly to the pond.

Squatting down, the little boy tried to open his eyes wide enough to see clearly what the bottom of the water looked like.

The water surface was clear and the pool was not deep, but because it was blocked by aquatic plants, wood, stones and other objects, the little boy's face was almost close to the water surface, and he finally found the shining beads lying on the bottom of the water.
