Chapter 103 Picking Red Beans (2)

Against the cold wind, Anker rode a bicycle for nearly an hour before reaching the south side of the mountain. The buildings here are mainly Diying University, and those futuristic glass buildings illuminated by lights are in the night The dazzling light flickers among them, adding a unique scenery to this silent night world.

An Keer stopped the car in front of the north gate of the university, and took out her mobile phone from her satchel to search for relevant information online. Not to mention, there is an introduction about the red bean tree on the official website of Diying University, which naturally explained its detailed location .

"This tree is quite famous!" An Keer wrote down the detailed location of the red bean tree, and put the phone back in the bag.

The difference between the Diying University Department and the primary and middle schools is that it has a gate but no walls. The lush trees surrounding the campus seem to be its natural barrier.Externally, the school has a clear prohibition. Island residents or tourists on vacation consciously abide by the regulations. Anyone who wants to enter the school for a visit must register through the main entrance before entering.

In the middle of the night, An Ke'er couldn't tell the guard that she was going in to pick red beans. Even if she told the situation clearly, they wouldn't let her go.

An Keer left the north gate by bicycle, took a long detour to see that there was no one around, then stepped on the bicycle through the woods and slipped into the campus.

Occasionally, she would see guards driving a patrol car passing by from a distance, and she carefully avoided them, pedaling her bicycle along the intersecting roads to the depths of the campus.She drove towards the southernmost mountainside of the campus for more than half an hour, and finally saw the majestic century-old tree standing proudly under the faint starlight with its canopy above the sky.

"Oh, what a big tree!" The bicycle stopped slowly under the canopy full of fruits, and Anke looked up, shocked by the strangely beautiful scenery in front of her.

999 red beans is not a small amount, whether Yu is trying to embarrass her or really needs so many red beans, An Keer dare not delay.She parked her bicycle behind the red bean tree, hugged the thick tree trunk and climbed up. Because it is far away from the buildings, the street lights are also set a little far away, and the leaves are lush, so it is not easy for lights or stars to penetrate into it. the height of the tree.Fortunately, there was a small flashlight in Anker's satchel. She turned it on, held the light in her mouth, and walked dexterously on the thick branches to pick the narrow and oblong pods.

Stuffing the bean pods in the satchel, An Keer got off the tree and sat cross-legged under the tree to peel the beans.She didn't make much preparations when she was in a hurry to go out. Fortunately, there was a fresh-keeping bag left when she took the fruit out before. She peeled and counted the beans, and then put them into the fresh-keeping bag.After peeling the first bag of bean pods, she climbed up the tree to pick them again, and repeated this countless times until a hill of empty bean pods piled up under the tree, and then An Keer put the 999th red bean into the nearly full bag. in a ziplock bag.

call-
Anke, who was exhausted enough, breathed a sigh of relief, carefully tied the fresh-keeping bag, and put it into the satchel.Before leaving, she didn't forget to pick up some pods that fell from the tree under the tree, and collected a handful and stuffed it into the bag - she was really afraid that she would make a mistake in counting, and then she would have to run again a trip.

Dodging the patrolling guards, An Keer left the campus the same way. When she returned to the villa, it was already dawn. Butler Dai, who got up early, was coming out of the east room. With a few leaves, she looked stunned.

"Did Miss Ke'er just come back from outside?" Butler Dai came up to see An Ke'er parked her bicycle in the parking lot, and couldn't help asking with concern.

"Shh-" An Keer put a finger to her mouth, motioning Butler Dai to speak softly.

"Your hand is hurt." Butler Dai was attracted by An Ke'er's hand that was placed next to his mouth, a few slender and small scars could be seen faintly on the dirty fingers.

"Oh, it's okay." After peeling so many pods, it's no wonder that she was not injured because of her thin skin and tender flesh.Because she was too tired, An Ke'er couldn't feel the pain caused by those small wounds at all.She put her hand down quickly, and said to Steward Dai like this, "Well, I couldn't sleep and went for a walk, don't tell them in the city."

An Keer has said so, butler Dai will not easily report to the master.

Seeing Butler Dai nodded, An Keer smiled gratefully at Butler Dai, thought of something before entering the room and asked him: "Uncle Dai, can you contact the courier company for me, I have an urgent mail to New York, and I will get it tomorrow .”

"Are you in such a hurry?" That was really urgent.Seeing that An Keer nodded affirmatively, Butler Dai didn't say anything more. "It's still too early. If it wasn't specially requested by the city, I'm afraid no courier company would be willing to pick up the package before work."

"I'll just bring things down during breakfast, and they'll just come and pick them up at work." After finishing speaking, An Keer trotted into the house.She found a bottle in the refrigerator that drank more than half of the juice. Tired and thirsty, she poured all the remaining juice into her belly in one breath. When washing the bottle, the small wound on her hand hurt her so much Frowning, she thought to herself, these accounts will be settled sooner or later, that despicable and shameless guy must pay the price for his actions.

Going upstairs with the cleaned juice bottle, An Keer used a hair dryer to dry up the remaining water in the bottle, and then put the bottle mouth on the balcony facing the wind to dry.

Carefully took the bag of red beans out of the bag and put them on the desk. The sleepy and tired Anke recounted the beans vigorously. Sure enough, the number was wrong, and several were missing. Fortunately, she kept it. Prepare with one hand, and take out the beans collected later to make up the number.

The bottle was almost dry, so she put the red beans into the bottle one by one and counted them again.

"Exactly 999, one is not too much and one is not too little." After putting all the red beans on the table into the bottle, An Keer screwed on the cap, "I did as you asked, and you still find fault with me! "

Finding a box from the closet, An Keer used newspaper as a pad for the bottom before putting a bottle full of red beans into the box and closing the lid.The courier usually has to inspect the goods before packing them again, so she didn't seal the box.After taking a shower and changing her school uniform, she went out the door with her schoolbag in one hand and the box in the other.

Xihe next door went out with his violin on his back in neat clothes, and the two greeted each other and entered the elevator going downstairs side by side.

"What's that?" Xihe asked curiously as his eyes fell on the box in Anker's arms.

"What your dear twin brother ordered." An Ke'er's bloodshot eyes burst out with resentment.

"This is the condition of the deal?" Can things finally come to an end?Xihe, who had been worried that Yu had played too much, heaved a sigh of relief.

"It would be fine if that was the case, it's not at all." An Ke'er shook her head helplessly, and she couldn't help yawning due to sleepiness, "He said that after getting this thing, he will temporarily let me live a peaceful life for a few days."

"It's really messed up!" Xihe felt that he was usually good at punishing people, and it seemed that his younger brother was better than blue.

"Keeping me up all night, he's ruthless!" Wait and see, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and besides, she's not a gentleman, so she'll take revenge without waiting ten years.An Ke'er snorted coldly, and as soon as the elevator door opened, she went out first.When Steward Dai saw her, he stepped forward and said that the courier company had been contacted and would come to pick up the package at eight o'clock.

"The things are here, this is the address." An Keer handed the delivery address written on a piece of paper together with the box to Butler Dai.Then he took out his wallet from his schoolbag and went to take out the only few hundred dollars in it, "It will be an urgent one tomorrow. Shall I pay you back?"

"Yu is in the United States right now, and the money for urgent mail is not enough." Xihe who was walking towards the restaurant stopped, and turned around and said to her, "You can pay as soon as you arrive, and let him open the money! The money I earned so hard Put some money in like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and sleep well these days."

"That's fine, pay on delivery!" That's right, she spent the whole night picking so many red beans for that guy, why should she have to pay for the courier fee?

After breakfast, Anke went to school by bike.Xihe deliberately delayed going out, walked to the box that Butler Dai put on the locker, and opened the box to find out.

"Wow, so many red beans? Whose?" Zimo, who was about to go to school, saw Xihe sneaking around, and came forward curiously.

"It's just a courier that is about to be sent." Closing the lid of the box, Xihe frowned deeply - Yu would take time to come back at this time every year to pick red beans under the century-old red bean tree in the university department. Is this year a special case?And how could there be so many, how much energy would it take for An Keer to pick a bottle full of red beans?
