If it were an ordinary pit, it definitely wouldn't shock Liu Ruyan and Liu Zixuan like this.
But the soil around the pit was all new, which means this pit was dug just a few hours ago.
Liu Ruyan frowned and asked, "Who has the idle time to dig such a deep pit here!"
"Was it them?"
Suddenly, Liu Zixuan remembered the scorpion and Dog Brother and others he met last evening.
They said they were looking for something here, and they were holding shovels and other tools… Could it be that what they're searching for is nearby?
"Who are they?" Liu Ruyan asked.
Liu Zixuan laughed softly and said, "Who else could it be? It's naturally the He Family."
"What's going on?"
Immediately, Liu Zixuan recounted what happened the previous evening to Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan, in anger, stomped her foot hard: "I knew the He Family had ill intentions. They acted so perfectly yesterday, almost fooled me, but they indeed have other motives!"
"Let them dig first and see what they're up to." Liu Zixuan smiled, "If we expose them now, it'll definitely stir up trouble, so we might as well let them act first; it won't delay us anyway."
"We have to keep a close watch, make sure they don't really dig something up and sneak it away," Liu Ruyan's charming eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Even such a beautiful girl, if she wanted to trap someone, she... had quite some weight to her words.
Liu Zixuan nodded: "Alright, let's continue collecting dew."
Saying this, they went back to collecting dew.
After about half an hour, the sun was half-risen.
Coming out at four in the morning in the mountains carried a bit of chill, but the sun's rising light provided a bit of warmth.
"It's my first time seeing the sunrise so early!" Liu Ruyan raised her head and sighed.
Liu Zixuan grinned, women... always fond of anything romantic.
He slowly walked up to her, embracing Liu Ruyan's slender waist from behind.
The two stood on the slope, like the lead couple in "Titanic," only they faced the east, feeling the comfort of the sun's rays on their bodies.
The golden light shone on Liu Ruyan's fair face, her hair fluttering in the mountain breeze, like a goddess.
The faint fragrance of Liu Ruyan lingered around Liu Zixuan's nose, holding such a delicate beauty in his arms was indescribably comforting.
"What are you two doing…"
Good things are always short-lived, even though they wished this moment could last forever.
But someone came to break the peace of this moment.
Bai Jingjing ran over, covering her eyes halfway through her sentence: "I mean, aren't you two too cheesy here…"
Liu Ruyan woke up from the moment and glared at Bai Jingjing: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I wasn't talking nonsense!"
Bai Jingjing crossed her arms with a playful expression, "On this secluded hillside, with no one watching, cozying up… Oh right, they call this kind of thing... wild... wild something..."
"Jingjing, how did you become so dirty-minded?"
Liu Ruyan stepped forward and hit her: "We did nothing, just feeling the sunrise, such a romantic thing turned sleazy by you!"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault for interrupting your romance!"
Bai Jingjing shook her head, not believing at all, and muttered: "Whether it's romance or whatever, hurry over, everyone's waiting for you!"
Liu Ruyan helplessly looked at Liu Zixuan, who didn't seem to mind.
With a clear conscience, and besides, even if he did those things with his own wife, so what? He didn't steal someone else's wife to do them!
The three returned with the collected dew to the front of the Saintess Temple, where the beautiful village women had already returned, placing pots and basins filled with dew in front of the temple.
After Liu Zixuan and his companions placed theirs as well, everyone turned serious.
They placed their right hand on their left shoulder, closed their eyes, looking as if they were praying or making a wish.
Liu Zixuan followed suit.
After a moment, the ceremony concluded smoothly, and everyone headed down the mountain with the dew.
"Sister Lian, is this dew for the water fight later?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Of course not, it's considered Holy Water by the villagers. They'll take it back home and use it to bathe tonight, to cleanse the filth of the past year," Sister Lian explained.
"Holy Water..." Liu Zixuan grinned, "But speaking of which, the dew is nice, quite nutritious and pure."
"You're the National Doctor… whatever you say goes!" Liu Ruyan laughed.
"You little vixen, even you're teasing me now?" Liu Zixuan, while no one was watching, slapped Liu Ruyan's shapely backside.
Which made Liu Ruyan blush, she pulled Doudou and ran outside.
"Ruyan sister, why are we running?" Doudou asked in confusion.
"Because there's a wolf behind us!"
"Where's the wolf? I can't see it!"
"Liu Zixuan is the wolf!"
While running, Doudou scratched his head, puzzled: "Big brother is a person, how did he become a wolf?"
"Hahaha!" Liu Ruyan could only laugh at Doudou's innocence, unable to say more.
Walking behind them, Liu Zixuan started to feel a bit anxious.
At that moment, surrounded by beautiful women, especially Hu Lijing, who seemed eager to devour Liu Zixuan whole.
They all shouted, wanting Liu Zixuan to join them later in the water fight, discussing teams against teams...
If it were any other man, they'd be eager to join, but for Liu Zixuan, truly in the midst, it was a bit overwhelming.
In this situation, Liu Zixuan suddenly felt like composing a poem!
"The green hills and waters, a winding path,
Beautiful women offer their embrace.
Chirping birds surround the ears,
A handsome young man shouts... Don't mess around!"
"Did you hear that, my big brother Xuan can even compose poems!"
"He's my big brother Xuan, okay, he's so talented, only I am worthy of him!"
The surrounding beauties didn't grasp the meaning of the poem at all, instead, they were even more smitten... cough cough.
To this, Liu Zixuan was helpless, with so many beauties, how could he handle them all?
Finally separating from them at the foot of the mountain, Liu Zixuan's ears finally found some peace.
Doudou ran over from afar, pulling Liu Zixuan and running towards the village society.
"Why are you bringing me here and not back to the clinic to get things?" Liu Zixuan was puzzled.
"Big brother, I've hidden a treasure here, and let me tell you, once the water fight begins, our treasure will definitely win against them!" Doudou smiled mysteriously.
