Lee's mother didn't know what she was gesticulating about, so she went into the house and brought out an apple. "Is this what you want?"

"No." Jiangxiang frowned and shook her head. "It's red. The tree... is sweet. It fell off."

After she expressed it this way, Lee's mother remembered the persimmon she mentioned a few days ago.

Just from listening to the persimmon village, one could understand what the village produced. At this season, there were persimmons on the trees.

That day, Lee's father came back with a bag of green persimmons. Jiangxiang was intrigued and wanted to take a bite and have a taste. However, she ended up crying out in a sour voice, which made the whole family very happy.

In the end, Lee's mother explained to Jiangxiang, who had a wronged expression on her face, "The green fruit is called a persimmon, and you can't eat it yet because it's bitter and astringent. When it turns red, you can still fall from the tree and eat it."

Lee's mother thought it must be when she went out to play and found that some of the persimmons on the trees were red, and it was hard to say if they had fallen off or not. She was just hungry, so she wanted to pick up some to eat.

The persimmon tree wasn't far from home. It would allow Jiangxiang to play in a safe place, and she could still work on her own. He patted her head and agreed."

"Got it." Jiangxiang nodded. She returned to her room, carried her small kettle, and went out.

The kettle was a habit of hers now, and because it was hot outside, Lee's mother was worried that Jiangxiang would go out to play and get thirsty. She would think of the river and forget to tell her to go to the water.

Whenever Jiangxiang was about to go out, Lee's mother would ask her to bring a small kettle of mung bean water to relieve the summer heat.

Jiangxiang ran far away from the house and relaxed. Lee's mother was right. She had used the excuse of a greedy persimmon to get out of the house perfectly. She had been afraid that if she acted too stupid, Lee's mother would not understand what she meant.

There were a lot of persimmon trees in the persimmon village, and there were a few in doorways and yards for families who liked to eat them.

There were also a few of them on the road. They were planted by the former residents of the village. These were shared by everyone and could be picked by anyone.

There was also a persimmon garden in the village. The persimmons there were not allowed to be touched. When they were ripe, they would be sent to the city to be sold. There were also people who did wholesale business with other villages.

Jiangxiang picked up a few persimmons from the ground, most of them small and blue. When they fell off, they had to be ripened with apples. She put them in her pocket and followed the map to the mountain.

Zong Shao lived in a deep room, and Jiangxiang's body had never been trained before. After walking a third of the way, she started to feel tired.

The worst thing was that she felt hot all over. She kept sweating, and her clothes were still stuck to her skin.

Jiangxiang wiped her sweat until her sleeves were wet. She muttered unhappily, "I shouldn't have come looking for him. It's so comfortable to stay at home."

Although she was unhappy, Zong Shao was her mission target.

Gritting her teeth, Jiangxiang continued to walk. After a while, she would hold the kettle and drink a few mouthfuls of mung bean water to prolong her life. When she finally saw the shadow of the house, her legs were so weak that she almost knelt down.

Jiangxiang leaned against a big tree, panting heavily. She asked the system in her heart, "Is Zong Shao at home now?"

System V578: "Yes."

Jiangxiang caught her breath and pretended to be lost. When she saw the grass or wild vegetables on the ground, she pulled them up.

After shaking the mud off the roots, Jiangxiang turned her gaze to the vegetable garden at the side and picked the tallest plant.

"You can't pull this out randomly!"

"You can't pull this out."

A male voice and the system's voice sounded at the same time. The system V587 was speechless and reminded, "That's tomatoes, Zong Shao's vegetables."

Jiangxiang raised her head and looked at the young man standing beside her. She blinked and replied to the system in her heart.

"I know."

Otherwise, it would be strange if she was so slow.

Jiangxiang smiled innocently. "It's red and sweet."

As she spoke, she took out the green persimmon. "Green. Bitter."

Zong Shao recognized the person with a single glance.
