An Xuyuan looked at the girl and explained, "The area around the ditch is full of mud and rotten leaves. If you are not careful, you might slip and fall in. Judging by the dry areas, the ditch is about two meters deep."
"We don't know what's beneath the layer of mud. What if you get bitten by a poisonous snake or some venomous insect?" he added.
Hearing this, Zhang Yulan realized he had a point and nodded, "I understand. I will stay away from the ditch."
Seeing that she was sensible, An Xuyuan was satisfied. He nodded and said, "Good. Now, we should head back. We will return tomorrow to harvest the honey."
Zhang Yulan looked at the beehive longingly for a moment before saying, "Okay."
After marking the area, the two of them left and continued walking back.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yulan suddenly pulled An Xuyuan's hand and said, "comrade An, look over there!"
