Before, Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao always lived in that desert, so they were particularly fond of everything there.
Thatâs why when they heard what Xiaobei said, they were extremely happy.
Knowing their happiness came from the bottom of their hearts, Xiaobei smiled.
Soon, Xiaobei turned and looked at Treasure-hunting Rabbit, saying, "Kenghuo, stay here and fix the road down the mountain later. Once itâs fixed, come find us. Got it?"
"Okay! I understand, and Iâll definitely get it done with quality!"
Although internally unwilling, Treasure-hunting Rabbit quickly agreed.
...
"Damn, good things never happen to me, and bad things feel like theyâre always going to land on me."
As Xiaobei, Guaiguai, and Qiaoqiao left, Treasure-hunting Rabbit sighed quietly and muttered in frustration.
Looking at his chubby forepaws, he was a bit annoyed, "If I have to fix this road myself, itâll take way too long."
He knew the mountain wall was really solid, so doing it alone would really take forever.
"Right, itâs troublesome to do it myself, but I have my buddies. If I get them to help, progress should speed up a lot."
Thinking this, Treasure-hunting Rabbit rubbed his chubby forepaws quickly and coughed.
It was the code he had agreed on with Hei and Xiaobai...
He knew that as long as they heard him cough, theyâd appear before him immediately.
With this in mind, he heard the sound of hurried commotion.
Turning around, he saw Hei and Xiaobai anxiously running towards him.
"Whatâs up?"
"Yeah, whatâs up!"
They hurriedly spoke...
Before this, they were lazily basking in the sun in a corner.
Originally, they planned to take a good nap but heard Treasure-hunting Rabbitâs cough.
Knowing it was the agreed signal, they didnât hesitate and rushed over.
"Of course, itâs something very important!"
Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke earnestly as he looked at them...
"Whatâs the important matter?"
A hint of caution flashed in their eyes, as they felt Treasure-hunting Rabbitâs solemn demeanor seemed a bit off...
Seeing their guarded expressions, Treasure-hunting Rabbit pretended to be saddened as he squinted, "Is it fun to be so cautious? Weâre good brothers, would I harm you?"
Hearing these somewhat sad words, Hei and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, realizing maybe they had overreacted earlier.
Coughing, they quickly said, "It was our mistake just now, you can go ahead and say what you need."
"Yeah, as long as itâs something we can do, weâll definitely help."
"Are you serious? Youâre not just brushing me off, right? If you are, then just leave! Iâll do it myself, since you donât really value our relationship and always think Iâll deceive you."
Hearing their aggrieved words, they knew Treasure-hunting Rabbit was clearly still upset.
Coughing, they quickly said, "We truly messed up just now, so no matter what you ask of us now, weâll do it, alright!"
They exchanged a glance with embarrassment, trying to show their sincerity...
"Really?"
"Definitely true!"
"Alright! Here goes then!"
"Mm, go ahead!"
...
Five minutes later, watching Treasure-hunting Rabbit hum to himself as he left, they were frustrated to the point of wanting to spit blood...
They knew they had been tricked by Treasure-hunting Rabbit once more...
"In the future when dealing with that rascal, be extra cautious! Never be fooled by his appearance!"
"Yeah, itâs easy to fall into his trap if youâre not careful."
They were really annoyed because after Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke eloquently, the task of opening up a road here was completely left to them...
They knew they could accomplish it, but it was really bothersome!
"No choice, since weâre in this mess, letâs not dwell on it!"
"Exactly!"
Silently sighing, they started diligently digging...
Luckily, their bodies were much stronger than ordinary beasts, so although it took some effort, they could still dig easily.
"Iâm still the smart one, that playing hard-to-get strategy made sure they listened obediently!"
After leaving, Treasure-hunting Rabbit was in high spirits...
In his view, his strategy of playing hard to get was executed perfectly...
...
Xiaobei had no idea Hei and Xiaobai had been tricked again.
He now brought Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao back to the land of the Cao Family.
They were very familiar with everything around.
Just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden...
"Wow, these flowers look so nice!"
"Right, right!"
Hearing their excited words, Xiaobei calmly watched...
Very soon, Xiaobei picked a bunch of deep purple berries.
Shaking them in his hand, Xiaobei said, "These berries taste quite good. Do you want to try them?"
"Can you really eat them?"
They scrutinized them for a moment, hesitantly looking at Xiaobei.
They had never eaten anything like this before, so they were really unsure if they were actually edible now.
Seeing their apprehensive expressions, Xiaobei smiled, picking one and putting it in his mouth.
After lightly chewing, Xiaobei said with a smile, "I can guarantee, youâll definitely like them."
"Then letâs try it!"
Murmuring to themselves, they again looked at the deep purple berries in Xiaobeiâs hand.
Xiaobei didnât rush them, patiently waiting...
Soon, Xiaobei saw them reach out.
After each picked a berry, Xiaobei looked at them positively.
Xiaobei saw them seriously scrutinize for a moment, then soon their pearly whites gently opened...
After putting the berries in their mouths, they just felt a bit cool.
Exchanging glances, they quickly bit down on them...
At first, their expressions seemed a bit scared, but quickly turned to surprise.
Because the taste was far better than they imagined...
"Oh my, itâs really delicious!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Saying this, they pinched another deep purple berry and popped it into their mouths.
Xiaobei saw their joyful expressions and couldnât help but sigh.
They had truly been through hardships over there before...
"Got to give them more tasty treats in the future!"
Thinking this, Xiaobei watched them, seeing them happily continue eating...
...
"Oh, sis, thereâs only one left, itâs mine!"
"Youâre the younger sister, you canât eat so much, you have to give it to me, your big sister!"
"Youâre the older sister, so you should give it to me!"
Hearing their words, Xiaobeiâs eye twitched, saying, "Thereâs more, you donât need to argue over the berries."
