A'niu turned to see the panting Wu Datou, his face full of confusion.
"A'niu, it's not good, Wang Dalai and his gang heard you've made a good amount of money selling fruit, and they are headed to your orchard with weapons in hand," Wu Datou said urgently.
In fact, A'niu's orchard was also Tian Mei's, with over a hundred fruit trees of many varieties, including honey peaches, yellow apricots, apples, crisp pears, and plums.
Before A'niu came along, Tian Mei, a woman all on her own, didn't have the strength to water and tend the trees, and was entirely dependent on the whims of nature.
Since A'niu's arrival, he worked diligently every day, and come harvest season, the branches were laden with fruit, especially after A'niu started using the "Luminous Pearl" divine water, which made the fruit grow even larger and sweeter.
A'niu even built a small house in the orchard, where he would stay during the harvest season to prevent theft.
