After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

"Your young husband ate my elixir, which is an extremely rare treasure. Now the treasure tree in my back mountain is not taken care of. I don't want the main raw material for making the elixir to be eaten by other people or animals. You What should I do?" The old grandmother picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said lightly in a low tone.

"Well, grandma, why not do this? I'll take care of it for you first, and then you can replace me after you find the right person."

"Well, I'm quite satisfied with what you said. One of these fruits will mature in three years, and it's also the easiest to be stolen. Just keep an eye on it for now. Come back when the fruit is ripe and falls to the ground. Yes." The old grandmother continued to add.

"Grandma, do you mean to take care of me for three years?" Xueer asked with an incredulous look on her face.

"Yes, why? Your young husband ate my elixir and escaped death. I asked you to take care of the fruit for three years but you refused." The old grandmother asked angrily.

"No, it's not." Xue'er lowered her head and did not continue to answer.

"Since you agree, then eldest maid, go and take Xue'er to the back mountain." The old grandmother winked at the eldest maid.

"Yes, old lady."

"Remember, come back to me when the fruit melon is ripe and has fallen off its stem." The old grandmother warned her again and again.

In this way, Xue'er was taken to the back mountain by the maid, and she didn't even have time to say hello to Zhang Yunyuan.

Every evening, Xueer would bring the food to Zhang Yunyuan's room on time, but today the longer she waited, the harder it came.

"Is Xue'er angry with me again?" Zhang Yunyuan was puzzled at this time.

He walked out of the room, thinking that he might be able to meet Xue'er, but he walked far away and didn't even see anyone.

At this moment, he saw a middle-aged woman walking towards her in front of him.

"Are you Zhang Yunyuan?"

"Yes, it's me, who are you?" Zhang Yunyuan asked quickly.

"I am the maid of the old grandmother. I am here to bring you food."

"What about Xue'er?" Zhang Yunyuan asked.

"Xue'er, you don't have to wait any longer. She won't come. She was sent by her grandmother to guard the trees in the back mountain." The eldest maid continued.

"Shu Shu?" Zhang Yunyuan looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Yes, the main ingredient of the resurrection pill you took is the fruit from that tree, so the old grandmother ordered her to guard the tree." The eldest maid explained.

"Then do you know how long it will take to go?" Zhang Yunyuan asked again.

"It's hard to say, but this fruit is about to mature. As soon as it falls to the ground, Xue'er will complete the task, which will only take about ten years." The eldest maid said in a somewhat indifferent tone.

"What? Ten years? It takes ten years for a fruit that is about to mature?" Zhang Yunyuan's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You mortals know what all the fuss is about. It takes hundreds of years for this fruit to bloom and bear fruit. This time it will be easier for you."

"Then do you know where the back mountain is? I want to find Xue'er." Zhang Yunyuan continued to ask.

"That's not possible. It's an immortal tree. If you go in as a mortal, what if it doesn't bloom anymore? Besides, there can only be one person watching over it at a time." After the eldest maid finished speaking, she hurriedly left.

The news swirled in Zhang Yunyuan's mind like a bolt from the blue. "It will take ten years. Doesn't it mean that I won't be able to see Xue'er in these ten years? How can I get married?" Tonight was another sleepless night for Zhang Yunyuan.

He tossed and turned in bed. Finally, he wanted to go to his grandmother early tomorrow morning to beg for mercy to release Xueer.

When the eldest maid returned to the old grandmother, she was very confused. Why did the old grandmother lie to them? Since the two people have a very good relationship, why should they be broken up?

"Grandma, I haven't heard that the precious tree in the back hill needs anyone to take care of it. What are you doing?"

"You don't know something. I've calculated that if Xue'er and Zhang Yunyuan meet again within three years, they will definitely be separated, so I'm trying to save them both. In addition, I asked you to take it because I wanted to see it. Does Zhang Yunyuan treat Xueer sincerely?" The old grandmother smiled proudly.

"Oh, I see, the old grandmother is more powerful." The eldest maid nodded.

"Okay, you go down first. I'm tired too. The boy will come to me tomorrow. Just let him in." After speaking, the old grandmother waved her hand and sent everyone away.

The next morning, as expected, Zhang Yunyuan arrived at the main hall at dawn.

"I want to see my grandmother, don't stop me." Zhang Yunyuan shouted.

"Let him in." The eldest maid shouted, and everyone let Zhang Yunyuan go and let him come into the hall.

"Grandma is waiting for you, go in." The eldest maid said.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yunyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and then knelt down in the main hall.

"Isn't there something wrong with you making noisy calls to me early in the morning? Why are you mute?" The old grandmother glared at Zhang Yunyuan.

"Old grandmother, I heard from your eldest maid, Auntie Xueer, that you sent her to look after some precious tree. How long will it take ten years?" Zhang Yunyuan said with an aggrieved look on his face.

"Yes, it was only ten years. It passed in the blink of an eye." The old grandmother laughed.

"Yes, for you, ten years is just a blink of an eye, but for us, ten years, how many decades can we have?" Zhang Yunyuan wiped his wet eyes as he said it.

"Then you took my elixir in vain, right?" the old grandmother said, rolling her eyes at Zhang Yunyuan.

"No, I don't want to eat for nothing. Do you think there are any other ways to make this fruit fall to the ground quickly?" Zhang Yunyuan suddenly thought.

"Land down quickly? Well, your idea is quite good. But why should I listen to you?" The old grandmother continued to tease him.

The old lady was very fond of this picture of Yun Yuan, so she tried her best to find a way for him and Xue'er to have a good outcome, but she had no choice but to make this move.

But what she was thinking was that the three-year period wouldn't be very long, but she deliberately said it was ten years just to see how anxious Zhang Yunyuan was.

At this time, Zhang Yunyuan no longer looked as majestic as usual. There was no majesty or airs, and he just kept kowtowing to the old grandmother.

"Okay, stop knocking. I think you are quite sincere. Otherwise, that precious tree in the back mountain is very spiritual."

"Although you can't get close to it, there is a small courtyard opposite it, separated by a natural chasm. You can live there and kowtow to it every day. As long as you are sincere and wish that it will bear fruit soon, then it will definitely As you wish. Xueer will come out early. What do you think?" the old grandmother said seemingly jokingly.

"Grandma, do you mean what you say? As long as the fruit from the tree falls to the ground, will you return my daughter-in-law to me?" Zhang Yunyuan looked at the old grandmother with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Where is your wife? It's like I want to break you up." The old grandmother frowned angrily.

"No, that's not what I meant." Zhang Yunyuan smiled.

"The climate there is cold and your living conditions there are very harsh. You have to think carefully about it," the old grandmother warned.

"As long as my wife can come back to me as soon as possible, this little hardship is nothing." Zhang Yunyuan replied happily.

"Big maid, take him there." The old grandmother looked at the maid on the side and motioned for her to take Zhang Yunyuan to the small courtyard over there.
