Li Jia felt that the school must immediately organize a language class to teach him to speak Spanish, otherwise it would be too difficult for him to have in-depth and close communication with the local people. The few words he could say now, such as "hello" and "thank you", were not enough to cope with the current situation.
Look, standing in front of him is a beautiful girl, staring at him curiously with her big eyes blinking. The girl looked only about 18 years old, with a slim figure. Although she was wearing a simple gray coarse cloth, she looked clean. Her face was a light wheat color, and her skin was as delicate as a baby's. She had dark red shoulder-length hair, her eyes were a deep red with a slight orange tint, her eyebrows were straight but thin and deep, and her lips were thick but full and plump. She stood there with a basket of apples, revealing an innocent and curious look.
The girl's voice was clear and mellow, sounding like drinking sweet wine. Li Jia had never met a beauty of this level in his life who spoke to him so patiently. But he just couldn't understand! This almost drove him crazy.
If a beautiful woman chatting you up is a comedy, then not being able to understand what she is saying is a huge tragedy.
But even so, Li Jia was still deeply attracted to her. When he saw her for the first time, he didn't know what to do, and even forgot to ask her why she appeared in the school, standing in a place where locals were clearly not allowed to enter.
"Girl, how did you get in? You can't just come in here." After a while, Li Jia remembered that he should take her out. He knew that the other party couldn't understand what he said, so he made a gesture of invitation again.
The red-haired girl stared at him for a while, suddenly patted her plump chest and said, "Selinda." She took out an apple, wiped it with her sleeve, and handed it to Li Jia.
Li Jia was somewhat flattered. After taking the apple, he thought for a long time, and could only pat his chest and said, "Li Jia."
"Li Jia, Li Xia!" The girl named Serinda imitated his pronunciation and tried to call his name, but she still couldn't get it right after Li Jia repeated it several times. She seemed to realize that she didn't say it right and her pronunciation was a little funny. Seeing Li Jia's anxious look, she giggled.
Li Jia was unconsciously infected by her and started laughing. While laughing, he naturally took a bite of the apple, which was very sweet.
———————————
Serinda was very curious. When Li Jia took her for a walk, she kept looking around. She wanted to see tall buildings, bungalows, sculptures, and chairs. Fortunately, it was dinner time, the sky was a little dark, and there were not many people on the road. From a distance, it was hard to tell that she was a local. However, this lively, beautiful, and somewhat willful local girl seemed to be particularly contagious. Li Jia followed her around, and watching her figure, her mood seemed to become cheerful.
But how can I take her out? Recently, villagers from the surrounding area have been coming here to exchange food and supplies with the "magicians". Because the people on Earth are quite kind and give good things, there are people with all kinds of intentions who want to sneak into the school to find out what's going on. The guard team caught four or five guys who climbed over the wall these two days. Some were thieves, and some were idlers. Anyway, all of them were beaten up and driven out.
Such a lovely girl... can't let her be caught by those violent guys. She can't go through the front door. If she falls into the hands of Wang Jiyuan, that ruthless guy, he might really teach her a lesson. We have to find another way to send her out.
Li Jia thought for a while, took out a key from his pocket, looked at it for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.
When the two passed by the supermarket, this special-looking big house made Serinda look inside.
Li Jia knew that the supermarket was now a strategic location, and even their own people were not allowed to enter casually. If they were caught by the guards here, both of them would be in trouble.
Li Jia hurriedly stopped Serinda, and she started to circle with Li Jia. Fortunately, Li Jia was a good basketball player, and he kept her from entering the supermarket. Serinda couldn't get in, and she stuffed a basket of apples into Li Jia's arms in anger, pointing at the supermarket and talking a lot. Although Li Jia didn't understand a word, she accurately grasped the other party's meaning: stingy, unkind, ungrateful, and irresponsible for eating apples.
At this time, the people in the supermarket seemed to have heard the noise outside. A soldier walked to the door and shouted, "Who is making a noise outside? This is the warehouse, no noise allowed!"
Li Jia quickly pulled Serinda to a corner and stuffed a basket of apples back into her arms. He gestured to her to keep quiet and told her to stay still.
"Hey, it's me! Li Jia from the business team. There's nothing going on outside. I chased away a few guys who wanted to use the back door to exchange for food." He walked into the supermarket seriously, greeted the people guarding the supermarket, and made up an excuse that was hard to expose. "The plastic washbasins at the door are running out again. I came to check how much stock we have."
The soldier saw that it was indeed Li Jia who often came to pick up goods, so he didn't say much, but nodded and let him in. Li Jia entered the supermarket and pretended to walk around the daily necessities area. When he walked through the food area, he took a bottle of Coke and a small bag of sandwich biscuits, then greeted the guarding soldier and walked out again.
When he ran to the corner, Serinda had disappeared. He hurriedly looked around the supermarket and walked around the supermarket for half a circle before he found that the girl was with a public telephone. The girl in coarse clothes and a fruit basket stood in front of a public telephone booth, which seemed a bit out of place. She obviously didn't know what the receiver was for. She was pulling out the cord and swinging the receiver like a meteor hammer.
"Selinda." Li Jia called her in a low voice, which startled her. Her hands loosened and the receiver suddenly hit the plexiglass partition with a loud "bang". The sound attracted the attention of several people passing by. Before they could see Serinda clearly, Li Jia pulled her past and ran into an alley next to the supermarket.
"Dinner time will be over soon and there will be more patrol teams. I have to take you away quickly!" Li Jia said to himself regardless of whether the other party could understand him or not.
He held Serinda's hand and felt that it was bigger than he had imagined, and the skin was a little rough. It was indeed the hands of the working people, he thought. Looking back at Serinda, she stopped making a fuss and followed him obediently. Her face was a little red because of her impatience, which was very cute.
He led her all the way to the entrance of a basement at the edge of the school wall. Li Jia made sure that there were no patrollers passing by, so he took out a key and opened the door to the basement. This was originally a place where old desks and chairs were stored, and now it is also allocated to the business group to store sundries. At that time, Li Jia was responsible for cleaning up this room, so naturally he kept the key here.
No one knew that the bottom of the room had actually cracked when the plane landed, and a passage had collapsed. Only when Li Jia was sorting out the debris did he discover that by going down this passage that could only accommodate one person, he could reach the bottom of the "school island" and run out of the school directly. From the outside, the exit of this hole was completely invisible due to the viewing angle, and it was a secret passage with high security. Li Jia did not report this incident at the time, but it has come in handy now.
Suddenly, Li Jia pulled her into a dark room. Serinda was very nervous and broke free from Li Jia's hand. Li Jia turned on a flashlight and said to her patiently, "Believe me, I have no ill intentions. Let me take you out." As he spoke, he gestured to the outside.
Serinda seemed a little scared at first, but after Li Jia repeated these words several times, she calmed down. I don’t know if it was because his tone was particularly sincere or his expression was particularly reliable. Serinda finally seemed to understand what he said, stretched out her hand, and shook Li Jia’s hand again.
Li Jia pulled her to the corner of the room, pulled aside the tables and chairs that were covering them, and entered the passage first. He half-crouched and walked down with a flashlight. Because the ground was uneven due to the cracks, he had some difficulty walking, but Serinda was very agile and followed him closely without saying a word. When they reached the bottom, Li Jia lifted a piece of covering wood, and the light came in. He jumped down and stood on the ground below the school, surrounded by the woods to the north of the school, with dense grass and bushes.
Li Jia took out Coke and biscuits and put them in Serinda's basket, and made an eating gesture. She looked at these exquisite and beautiful things that she had never seen before with curiosity, and seemed very happy. She took the Coke and biscuits out of the basket and stuffed all the apples in the basket to Li Jia.
Li Jia looked at her face reluctantly, waved his hands, and sighed, "Selinda, go back quickly. Don't tell anyone about this place. It's a secret."
Serinda stared at him for a while, pointed at the sky, the ground, Li Jia, and herself, and finally smiled brightly, turned around and ran into the woods.
"God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know? I didn't expect there is a similar saying here." Li Jia watched her go away, picked up the basket and walked towards the secret passage. After walking a few steps, he was suddenly startled. Something was wrong. She didn't understand what I said about asking her to keep it a secret. What did these gestures mean? He carefully recalled Serinda's expression and smile at that time, and suddenly roared excitedly: "Could it be that she still wants to date me at this time and place tomorrow?!"

In the forest, a gray figure was moving very fast and soon arrived at a small camp in a valley. When the figure rushed into the small camp, the people who were sitting in the camp picked up their swords and jumped up to take a fighting stance. But when they saw the figure clearly, they all breathed a sigh of relief. One of the women greeted him happily: "Miss Serinda, we were so worried. You can't take such risks next time."
The gray shadow was Serinda. She no longer looked innocent and cute as before. She was full of competence and had a bit of pride on her face. "Nina, you guys have gained nothing these days, right? It all depends on me. Not only did I sneak in, I also tricked a fool. He even told me a secret passage. Now I can enter and leave the magician's castle at will."
"Miss, in that case, let's sneak into the castle together next time." asked a man who looked like a knight.
"Don't act rashly. I've already made contact with that guy named Li Jia. I heard that he's the cousin of the magician. He might be playing a role like a butler in the castle. I can tell from his eyes that he's a little obsessed with me. It's best to get to know him slowly." Serinda handed Coke and biscuits to the others. "Look, the food is so exquisite. Do ordinary magicians have such strength? I've tasted it. It tastes weird, but it's delicious. It's definitely not food that exists on our continent. These people have a weird origin. We must find out."
"Miss, how can you let an ordinary person have feelings for you? I know how those vulgar guys look at women." Nina said angrily, "He should dig out his eyes on the spot."
"He... isn't like that. Well, since he's quite interesting, I'm willing to listen to him talk more." Serinda said with a smile, "You know, when a clown performs hard, we have to support him. This is the etiquette of aristocrats."
"He got it so easy." Nina was still indignant.
"It doesn't matter. We can settle the score with him in the end. The worst that can happen is that I'll take his life." Serinda smiled even more charmingly.
