20 To the Capital (Part 4)
The 3 ninjas had been following Ai and Liu's group all day long,
They saw how Ai and Liu what had been doing
From the chase of the snake, the prank of Ai to Liu and as well as the secret Ai had did
"They're really both weird, did you see that pattern they ran when they were chased by the snake Ye Xie? Don't ever try that, Never, ever okay?" Mei Mei patted Ye Xie's forehead.
"Sure, I'm not an idiot like them, if it weren't for the lady luck that other guy would have his faced ripped off." Ye Xie answered Mei Mei
"By the way where did Big bro Ni go?" she asked
"Ah,, he's collecting food" Mei Mei said with a grin
=====
There was someone under a tree, this someone was digging the soil..
Soon after some digging he found some fruits that were wrapped in a leaf, and knotted by twigs to ensure safe from worms,
"Hehe, we are very thankful for your generosity, first from the shelter for sleeping, now your giving us food for the night, don't worry we will eat all of it and benefit from it, many thanks," Ni Zhou said after he brought the wrapped fruits outside the hole in the ground and he filled the hole with soil that he dug up and made it like what it used to be like before.
Ni Zhou then went to the two woman waiting for him in a bush.
Step Step Step
"Ni Zhou must be back" Mei Mei murmured
Swish,swish
"Im here, he hid some food for our fill, hehe" Ni Zhou happily said to them
Ni zhou presented different variety of fruits, big,small, circle,rough,smooth and also they had different colours which made little Ye Xie eye twinkle from amazement.
"Wow these are colourful!" Ye Xie picked berries and ate one piece "And sweet!" the little loli happily stuffed more berries afterwards
"Indeed little Ye" Ni Zhou patted her forehead, "All of these must be eaten tonight and none shall be wasted, the generosity of giving food musn't be wasted." he added
"Hehe, they're really kind indeed" Mei Mei stuffed a round pinkish fruit to her mouth
"Huh? who? wasn't this picked big bro?" Ye Xie asked
"Ah-oh, yeah yeah i picked it, what we mean is the since nature gave is to use then nature really is kind and generous, hence we shouldn't waste anything and eat all of it," Ni Zhoi smiled and looked to Mei Mei
"That is correct Ni Zhou, and little Ye you should be like big bro Ni, always appreciate anything that is given to you," Mei Mei supported Ni Zhou's blabber
The three ate all of it and seeds only were left from the once bountiful fruits in a leaf. After they ate they told stories to Ye to put her to sleep and they slept.
Very full from the fruits they ate, they slept with a smile on their sleep.

Cuckoooooo
(Here it is again hehehe)
"Who WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" a very loud shout was heard in the trees not far away from the spot where Ai and Liu slept.
Liu was alarmed from the shout and he instinctively held a twig in his hand, he was wary from this shout and moments later he realized Ai wasn't in his side,
"Huh that guy already woke up? " Liu was quite surprised and recalling the shout earlier, that voice should belong to Ai
Danger! Maybe Ai is in danger!
Liu dashed out from the bush and went to where the voice came from and he saw there Ai who was sitting and was digging soils around the tree
"Shit! shit! Where is it! where!" Ai hid something here yesterday to reserve for tomorrow, but what he saw was something that shocked him, its gone! its totally gone!
"It should be here.!" Ai crazily dug soils
"Oi, what are you doing? You scared the shit out of me when you screamed, and also when did you learn to wake up earlier than me?" Liu approached to the dirty Ai
"Ah eh hehehe, nothing much, I was just practicing me skills in digging, just in case we meet some danger then I can dig burrow for us to hide ourselves hehe," Ai replied sheepishly to Liu
"Uh huh, your not a good liar, you know that" Liu looked at Ai intently " tell me the truth, and also about your digging if we did meet danger, the possibility of us living while waiting for you to dig a burrow is enough for us to be killed before your burrow can even fit half of our body, so stop lying, its pointless" Liu added
Having been discovered through and through Ai didn't lie anymore and he revealed his secret.
"The truth is, when I was done picking fruits, I dug a hole here, and his some of the fruits for today's breakfast for us. And-And it was gone after I went here, and I was really sure that it was here, I marked this tree, so it should be here,but when i dug it again its gone! Nothing was left at all!" Ai embarrassedly said to Liu
"More like breakfast for yourself! You cheeky bastard!" Liu lashed to Ai
"Ah he hehehehhe" Ai didn't even deny it one bit only scratching his head in embarrassment
"Hmpph! you deserve it!" Liu said to the cheeky bastard infront of him
"But well, it's really weird that its gone, someone should have stoled it," Liu added and stopped in his words
Swish Swish Swish,
Ai and Liu heard some movements in some of their dummy bushes
"There's something!" Ai said to Liu hiding in the tree
"Shhh, let's see what is it," Liu replied
The duo went more nearer to the bush while stealthily hiding in the shadows,
Moments later a man came out and beckon, then a kid came out and a woman afterwards.
3 of them came out from the bush, and sat outside the bush and was talking about something
"Do you know them?" Ai asked warily to Liu
"I-i don't remember, maybe there from the village?" Liu replied unsurely to Ai
"But anyways let's follow them, they might be the culprit behind YOUR breakfast stealing" Liu added and put a stress on the word your to mean something to Ai
"I-I" Ai was lost in words and he didn't rebut Liu and just followed Liu
======
It was morning already,
The trio woke up from their happy dreams, Ni Zhou went out first to see if the place is safe or not.
Walking out from the bush he surveyed the surroundings, seeing that nothing was amiss, he beckoned the duo to come out.
"Its safe com out now," Ni zhou declared
"Okay" Mei Mei replied while pushing Ye Xie outside followed by her
"Are we still following them big Ni, big Mei?" Ye Xie asked them, she was really tired from following those the men, they're weird. She thought
"Of course, with them our journey to the capital will be smooth" Ni Zhou said while grinning evily to Ye Xie
"Yep, we must follow those two" Mei Mei said to the litlle girl
"They must be awake now," Ni Zhou looked at the sky and beckoned them to come,
"Let's see them and follow afterwards." he added
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" A sinister laugh came out from somewhere,
"Who!" Mei Mei and Ni Zhou warily said scanning the surroundings, finding where the voice came from
