Chapter 81

==================

Lana realized that she had discovered something and could no longer pretend to have just woken up. Her eyes shifted away somewhat vaguely.

This was the first time Lian Yun saw him with this expression. For a moment, he was neither angry nor not angry.

"Sir..." Lana lowered his voice, as if testing Lian Yun's mood.

"What's going on?" Lian Yun stared at him without blinking until he silently made way.

Lian Yun walked into the room in two or three steps and clearly saw a pile of bottles beside the bed. They were empty medicine bottles.

There are still a few drops of blue left in it.

"..." Lian Yun slowly turned around and looked at Lan Na with a serious look in his eyes: "This is what you just drank."

"……yes."

Lian Yun took a deep breath and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"

There was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Lian Yun noticed the little frog on his shoulder. Its big eyes, which usually drooped, were now wide open and staring straight ahead. Something was clearly wrong. Then he looked at Lanna...

When had Lanna ever experienced such a situation?

Not surprisingly, the little frog shared the same injuries with Lanner, and they were not just "skin injuries" as Lanner said.

She was so stupid that she didn't react.

Luodu was injured so badly, how could Lanna be unharmed?

"I know you're afraid that I'll worry, but didn't we agree before? We won't hide anything from each other anymore." Lian Yun said word by word with a stern face, but he couldn't help but tear up.

"If you really have something to do..."

She would definitely not forgive herself.

"Sir..." Lana walked forward in a hurry and looked at Lian Yun somewhat at a loss.

"I didn't mean it," Lana bent down slightly and looked at Lian Yun, who was looking down angrily. Seeing that she didn't really cry, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lana tried to soften her voice and patiently explained, "Because I don't know where I'm injured yet, I don't want to worry you all the time. After all, you have so many things to do every day."

"What kind of reason is that!" Lian Yun raised his head and couldn't help raising his voice.

But seeing Lanna's visibly exhausted face after she took off her disguise, she stopped talking again.

"You should have a good rest. I'll go back to my room first." Lian Yun turned his eyes away, said this softly, and turned to go upstairs.

Returning to her room, Lian Yun felt more and more sad. At the same time, as Lana said, she was really worried.

Lanna was her right-hand man. Once he fell, many things became cumbersome and difficult. This was one of the reasons why Lanna was reluctant to tell her.

If she knew, she would definitely let him lie down and rest like Luo is now, and not work too hard.

But Lanna obviously won't sit idle.

Lian Yun clenched his fists, thought about it, and then sighed as if giving up.

Let him be. If he really does nothing, I'm afraid given his personality, he'll probably create even more problems.

Lian Yun lay on the bed, looking depressed.

Before they even set out, two of her generals were injured. The more she thought about it, the more eager she became to take them to the Elf Forest.

She would give it a try no matter what the cost.

With such a mood, Lian Yun fell asleep with all sorts of random thoughts in his mind.

The next morning I was woken up by the itch of the furry little white thing.

Lian Yun smiled and took Xiaobai away from his face, holding it in his hand and holding it up.

As he was laughing, Lian Yun suddenly froze and turned over and sat up.

"Are you Xiaobai?"

How did it suddenly become so small! ?

"Of course I am!" Xiaobai was held up, blinking his big black eyes, looking at Lian Yun, and tilting his round little head.

No matter how old he gets, his voice is still babyish, so she definitely didn't hear it wrong.

"It suddenly became like this this morning. I came to find the owner right away!"

It thinks its owner will like it the way it is.

Lian Yun hesitantly put Xiaobai down and subconsciously looked at the window, which was indeed kicked open.

"So you...are this big?"

Xiaobai thought about it, and signaled Lianyun to put him down. Then he jumped to the ground and shook his fur left and right.

The next second, Xiaobai began to swell.

In just a few breaths, Xiaobai had grown to the size of half the room again.

There is even a trend of continued expansion.

"That's enough!" Lian Yun quickly called for a stop. She didn't want to sleep in the open-air room tonight.

Xiaobai stopped obediently and returned to its original size.

It jumped onto the bed and ran into Lian Yun's arms, turning over and asking for a touch.

Lian Yun rubbed its round belly and couldn't help laughing: "Our Xiaobai is getting stronger and stronger now."

Xiaobai squeaked proudly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was Lina's extremely excited voice: "Everyone has started harvesting wheat! Sister, come and watch with us!"

When they arrived at the scene, everyone had already changed their clothes and entered with sickles.

The golden wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see. People were wearing straw hats and holding sickles. A group of people were harvesting in front, while the children behind were responsible for bundling.

It was the first big harvest and everyone was busy and having fun.

Fiona improved the sickle, making it particularly easy to use. Fiona also praised her class bonus: "It's all because of the hammer. It's so efficient."

This is why we can start harvesting so early.

Meili was one of the workers who had been replaced to rest: "At this rate, we'll be able to finish the harvest before tonight."

"But it takes some steps to eat flour." Mary looked up this information in the encyclopedia last night and learned that it takes multiple steps to turn wheat into flour.

The process includes screening to remove stones and wheat crumbs, soaking the wheat in water to temper it for easier grinding, grinding it with flat rollers, and then screening...

The first flour ground is whole wheat flour, which is not as delicate as refined flour, but is good for the body.

This is what Mary learned.

However, since she has never eaten refined flour, she doesn't know what it tastes like.

"Whole wheat can be used to make bread. We can take out a part of it to make whole wheat for everyone to eat, and then process the rest." Lian Yun said.

Meili nodded and smiled softly: "I think so too, but..."

"My Lord mentioned to me earlier that he hoped I could take some flour with me when I went to the forest."

"That's right."

Although he didn't know whether the elves needed to eat, Lian Yun still hoped to bring some new things, which could be used as a bargaining chip.

"If the adults are in a hurry, it might not work," Mary explained. "Newly ground flour is too sticky and lacks elasticity and toughness. The book says it needs a month of 'maturation' before it can be eaten."

"A month?" Lian Yun repeated. She could wait, but Luo and Lana couldn't.

Meili: "Or we can make some flour and you can take it first?"

As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket with half a page of words written on it. "I'll write you a guide to making flour. Take it with you. If you can successfully meet the elves, you can tell them to cook it according to this."

Lian Yun nodded: "It seems that this is the only way. Thank you for your help."

Meili smiled and shook her head: "It's no trouble."

While they were busy with the harvest, Lian Yun planned to go to the farm and subconsciously wanted to ask Lana to go with them, but found that he was not around.

"Squeak." Xiaobai seemed to have heard her thoughts and called out softly. When Lian Yun lowered her head, it tilted its head behind her.

Lian Yun looked over and saw a blond man in a black cloak standing far away, not daring to approach.

Seeing that Lian Yun saw him, Lana was stunned, then obediently took a few steps back.

“…”

Lian Yun was so angry that he laughed.

Xiaobai looked at his owner, then looked at the distant Lanna, and ran towards Lanna nimbly while growing bigger.

The flying sand rat's innate speed was even more prominent on Xiaobai. In a few breaths, it ran to Lana's side, grabbed the corner of Lana's clothes with a look of disappointment, and ran towards Lianyun.

Lanna staggered after being pulled, and soon started running as well.

Being dragged in front of Lian Yun, Lanna almost couldn't brake: "Sir."

Xiaobai relaxed his mouth in satisfaction, sat down, and looked up at them face to face.

"I'm afraid that you might see that I'm upset..." Lanna's voice was soft and light, full of apology.

This was the first time Lian Yun had seen him look so aggrieved and heartbroken. How could he possibly be angry? Even when the words of a mild complaint came to his lips, he could only say softly, "I don't blame you."

Lanna suddenly raised her head: "Really?"

Lian Yun never thought that Lana's pair of indifferent eyes would make him feel that she was acting coquettishly with her eyes.

It must be my own illusion.

Lian Yun looked away unnaturally: "Let's go to the farm."

Lana followed without saying a word, still following Lian Yun closely as usual.

Lian Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

She didn't need to look back to know that he was always behind her.
