Bai Xue nodded seriously. The look in Lu Anru's eyes could make her drown. It was still sweet sugar water.
Lu Anru was so sweet that she had goosebumps all over her body, and he hissed and rubbed his arms with his hands.
A little old man with a white beard and a brown hat that looked like a Christmas hat came out of the crowd, stopped in the front row, turned around, pressed his hands to his companions, and spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Everyone, be quiet. Dongfang Xiaguo has a saying that is very good. I think it is very appropriate to apply it here. We are so lucky to meet a benefactor who does good deeds without asking for a name. Please don't offend the benefactor. First of all, Please give us a few words from your benefactor. Let’s express our gratitude later.”
Lu Anru blinked blankly, looking at the burning eyes of both men, she suddenly understood that her unintentional act of chopping the dumpling fillings freed everyone.
He laughed twice and said calmly: "You're welcome, you're welcome, we can't just let everyone stand. Just do whatever you want to do, and then go live your own lives."
Hearing this, several farmer Shulings in the front row were even more moved and offered the precious medicinal materials that the witch had arranged for them to collect.
With them taking the lead, everyone lined up in an orderly manner to 'offer'.
There was only a young dwarf in a black hat standing far away. He cast a cold and contemptuous glance at Lu Anru and cursed: "What a hypocritical greedy ghost."
"Ouch, shut up now." The old man in the brown hat covered his mouth angrily and pulled him further away.
After walking out of the hall and making sure there was no one around him, he painstakingly taught: "It is not easy for us to gain freedom, so we must not be disrespectful to our benefactors."
The young dwarf rolled his eyes unbearably and walked away, out of sight and out of mind.
In just half an hour, Lu An was so full of harvests that his face almost blossomed with smiles.
After learning that her storage bag had been confiscated, the old man in the brown hat made considerate arrangements and asked everyone to help move the things to the transfer port. After Lu Anru completed the punishment, he handed them out one by one.
The attentive service made Lu Anru feel particularly comfortable, so he walked lightly to the punishment area with cheerful steps.
When he saw the content of the punishment, his happy little face could no longer hold back the smile, and it stretched out.
Sitting on the small stool specially designed for punishment, he took out a slippery fish from the iron basin and put it on the chopping board. Holding the thick kitchen knife with one hand, holding the body of the fish with the other hand, he chopped off the fish head accurately.
That's right, the punishment is: kill enough fish for tomorrow's college cafeteria and process them cleanly.
Remove the fish cleanly, scrape off the scales, remove the internal organs, and throw it into an empty bucket.
Incarnate as a fish-killing chef in the kitchen, and the numbness comes over and over again.
When the fourth bucket was processed, Lu Anru was so tired that he could hardly straighten his waist, so he put down the knife and rested for a while.
He lightly hammered his back with his hand, raised his head and looked into the distance. There were still five barrels to be processed, and he let out a long sigh of resentment.
"It turns out that even very powerful people can get tired, right?"
The curious questions with milky voices sounded around him, just hitting the words Lu Anru liked to hear.
Looking sideways, he saw a little boy with a tiger-like head, about five or six years old. Blinking a pair of bright eyes, he was also looking at her while being looked at.
Lu Anru liked it and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Chuxia, let me give you a massage."
Chu Xia ran up behind her without waiting for her consent, and rhythmically pinched her waist with both hands.
Lu Anru enjoyed it comfortably for a while, feeling that his fatigue was fully relieved, and brought Chu Xia back to the front.
He raised his hand and touched his thick black hair, and said softly: "Thank you."
Chu Xia waved her chubby hand, pointed in the distance and said, "You're welcome, I'm leaving then. My mother is waiting for me. Goodbye, aunt."
Lu Anru's bright smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and twitched twice after a few seconds. He raised and lowered the knife, chopped off the fish head, and wiped the blood splattered on his face with his sleeve.
Looking at Chu Xia, he asked expressionlessly: "What did you call me? Call me again if you can!"
It was like a man possessed by a butcher who made Chu Xia scream in fear, fearing that Lu An might eat him. He shouted "Auntie" extremely loudly and ran away in panic.
He ran up to a woman, hugged her thigh, and complained aggrievedly: "Mom, I did what you asked, but Auntie seems very angry."
Bai Xue looked embarrassed, led Chu Xia back to Lu Anru, and explained: "I didn't let him call you aunt, he may have misunderstood. Good boy, call me sister."
Chu Xia pursed her lips angrily and said what she thought was right: "But mom, she is your friend, I should call her aunt. She also said that she is much better than you, so I should call her aunt."
Lu Anru resisted the thought of addressing her more seriously and said seriously: "I'm not as powerful as your mother. She would sacrifice everything for you, including her life. To you, I am just a stranger who has met a few times, so in your heart, She should be the most powerful person.”
Bai Xue was stunned, and then her eyes turned slightly red.
Chu Xia looked back and forth between Lu Anru and Bai Xue in confusion, tightened her hands around Bai Xue's legs, and said with admiration: "Wow, it turns out that mom is more powerful than the person who saved us."
Bai Xue smiled at Chu Xia, facing Lu Anru with her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to express a lot but had no words to say.
Lu Anru raised his hand to stop his emotion, looked at the lush forest in the distance, and said, "Let's be practical. I know you have planted a lot of poisonous mushrooms. Pick some for me and I will take them away."
The book spirits did not provide the raw materials for the poison, perhaps because they were afraid of accidentally hurting her.
Poisons are very useful in reality. When you return to the academy, you can exchange them with the people in the healing club for needed items.
Bai Xue patted Chu Xia's head and said gently: "Go ahead and pick them. Mom has taught you to look for brightly colored mushrooms."
Chu Xia looked into the distance, and Tong Yanwuji asked confused: "Mom, Uncle Black Hat told me that you can't be greedy as a book spirit? If I hadn't been greedy at that time, I wouldn't have eaten the strawberries given by the witch. I wouldn't have eaten the strawberries. You won’t become a rabbit.”
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Anru secretly and hummed in a low voice: "So being greedy is not a good habit, and it's not good for Aunt Lu to be like this."
Bai Xue shook her head with a helpless smile and looked into the distance. The young dwarf in the black hat hurriedly hid behind the wall.
After driving away the instigator, Bai Xue took the lead to patiently enlighten the child before Lu Anru could hold the knife: "Sister Lu is teaching you another principle, to repay a favor. She has been kind to us, and we should repay her. Be good and go. Bar."
"Okay, I get it. Mom, I'm going to pick it now." Chu Xia agreed, still keeping the habit of a rabbit, jumping away with her legs.
While Lu Anru restarted the big fish cleaning project, he casually chatted with Bai Xue when he had nothing to say.
It could be heard that Bai Xue basically talked about all the topics that could be thought of. When the words of thanks were brought up for the fourth time, Lu Anru couldn't listen anymore and took back the initiative.
"Okay, don't just blame me, you have to pay more attention. I heard from my senior sister that it takes a head-on challenge to completely destroy the witch, so she may come back at any time. Wait until she repairs the magic mirror, and then expands the scope of the illusion spell. You have to be the fish on the table again, so you’d better think about how to take precautions in advance.”
