Chapter 139
===================
Garin has traveled all over the country and has been to Buli Lake City many times, so he has some understanding of Buli Lake City.
Several people asked about the specific situation in detail and made a summary based on what Fang Suo knew.
This evening the town will do its best to prepare what it wants to bring.
Lian Yun will set off with Lanna early tomorrow morning.
Several people kept discussing this issue until late at night. Gary coughed twice, and his face showed fatigue.
Lian Yun glanced at the darkness outside the window and slapped his head: "It's all my fault for not paying attention to the time."
People here are used to going to bed early, especially older people like Gerry.
"That's all for today."
Lina raised her head from the table drowsily. She was extremely sleepy but she was trying hard not to go to sleep so she took a short nap on the table.
Finally hearing the closing remarks, she immediately stood up and ran up the stairs like a flash: "Grandpa Gerry, Uncle Garin, brothers and sisters, good night!"
Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Gerry stood up, stretched his muscles, and slowly picked up his cane.
Garen hurried to his side and offered his hand to support him.
Gary waved his hand and took one last look at Lian Yun: "Kid, be careful tomorrow."
Lian Yun nodded with a smile in his eyes.
Lanna walked the two of them to the door.
Garen followed Gerry closely out of the house and gradually walked away.
Lanna sighed almost imperceptibly.
He raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released for a moment.
Ever since the adult started telling his story about his past, his heart seemed to be tightly wrapped around something, making it hard for him to breathe.
Everyone thought that this girl in her twenties was naive, innocent, and carefree in her attitude towards people and things.
If she hadn't said it herself, who would have known that she cherished everything she had now just because she had been there before, and even brought everything from the past to the present town.
Lanna, who had also experienced difficult times in the past, did not show any sympathy or offer any comfort.
He knew better than anyone that any comfort at that time would seem extremely pale.
Lian Yun, who has accepted the past and regained a new life, needs someone to listen and a quiet outlet to vent.
He listened quietly to everything Lian Yun said, closed his eyes, and remembered every tiny expression on Lian Yun's face when he spoke.
She finished speaking.
She feigned relief.
But Lanna was very uneasy.
Others got the information they wanted.
Lian Yun told his own story.
But to her, all this seemed to be just talking about things that had nothing to do with her.
She had no desire to vent.
Lanna stood at the door, feeling the cold night wind, not knowing how to face the adults.
Does she really not care?
The girl has a similar personality to himself. If Lana compares it to his own personal experience, then these memories will never be downplayed for himself who has similar experiences.
It is the mud and sand left behind by the mudslide, and it is the chronic illness that has not been cured and is deposited in the heart.
Sometimes it can be suffocating, but patients who have become doctors through long-term illness are more optimistic than anyone else and can easily talk about their illnesses.
Lanna wanted to help her.
Lian Yun is his salvation, bringing him new life, she is his hope.
His God.
How would he, a believer, help his God?
When you are also stuck in the quagmire?
Maybe... should he start with himself?
Lana thought about it and realized that he had very few secrets, and he didn't mind telling adults at all, except for some that he himself didn't understand yet.
Lana clenched her cold fingertips.
I really don’t know how a person like him can bring even a little warmth to his God.
Lanna was forced to come to his senses as Xiaobai rushed out of the alley.
I don't know where this guy has gone wild again. His white fur, which is usually spotless, is now dirty.
Xiaobai took a look at Lana's expression and had a bad feeling. He rushed into the house to find Lian Yun.
But Lana stretched out his legs to stop him.
There is no way. In an overly familiar environment and facing overly familiar people, it really cannot unleash its true speed.
The white ball was picked up by slender hands, with a gloomy expression, just like a deflated ball.
"No, don't even think about entering the house when it's so dirty." Lana carried him to the bucket at the door to wash him unmoved.
Xiaobai kicked the water surface angrily, but finding that resistance was futile, he had no choice but to endure it silently.
Lanna's movements suddenly slowed down: "...The lady is in a bad mood, please don't bother her."
Xiaobai suddenly stopped moving and blinked his black eyes again and again.
Of course it knows, otherwise why would it come back at this time.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
It won’t disturb its owner!
It just wants to give its owner a hug!
Lanna had no intention of making things difficult for Xiaobai. She washed it cleanly, took it out of the water, and then used a cloth towel hanging on a wooden table to carefully wipe Xiaobai until it was fluffy.
When he carried Xiaobai back to the house, Lian Yun had already fallen asleep on the table.
Lana paused, looked at Xiaobai in her arms, and they both lowered their voices at the same time.
Today, Lian Yun slept until he woke up naturally, which was rare. He was not woken up by the morning sunlight nor by being called.
I was so tired at night that I fell asleep without realizing it. I didn’t even remember how I got into bed.
Lian Yun stretched out on the bed contentedly, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The window is located on the side of the bed?
The room seemed to have gotten smaller.
...No, this is not my room.
This realization almost made Lian Yun jump up, but the next second a furry white ball crawled out from his quilt and looked at him with sleepy eyes.
"……squeak?"
"noob?"
Lian Yun rubbed it twice with satisfaction and found that Xiaobai's fur felt particularly good today.
Xiaobai used his little paws to pull her shoulders, moved slowly to her neck, stepped on the soft pillow, and then rested his head on Lian Yun's neck and squinted his eyes.
It's not sleeping, it's just staying in bed.
Lian Yun poked it with amusement, but Xiaobai remained unmoved.
It turns out that neither humans nor animals can resist a warm bed.
Lian Yun tilted his head and gradually recognized where he was.
She lay in Lanna's bed in the room on the first floor.
Lana was probably afraid of waking her up, so she moved her to a room not far away based on the principle of proximity.
What about Lanna?
Did he go to his room?
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the side of the bed. Lian Yun turned his head and unexpectedly saw Lana lying on the animal skin, turning over and just opening his eyes.
Lana, who had just woken up, was obviously still in shock. His naturally cold face and the drowsiness after waking up made him inexplicably cute.
“…” Lian Yun opened his mouth, but suddenly didn’t want to call him anymore.
She lay on her side on the bed with her arm as a pillow, looking at Lana's profile seriously.
The early morning sunlight gently poured down on his distinct outline, and his azure eyes revealed a gradually fading confusion.
From her perspective, she could see all of Lanna.
The black cloak was neatly folded in his hand, with the crooked embroidered "Xiaobai" placed upwards.
Lana reached out and gently stroked the embroidery, her expression blank, not knowing what she was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, Lana suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
The first thing he did was look at the bed, and he met Lian Yun's smiling eyes in surprise.
“!”
How long did you look at him?
Lana felt her face getting a little hot.
"Has the master woken up long ago?"
Lian Yun nodded, paused, and shook his head.
Lanna was the type of iceberg who was hard to watch. She felt like she had been looking at Lanna for a long time, but in fact, she had probably only woken up a few minutes earlier than Lanna.
Lana secretly blamed herself for taking care of the adults last night, thinking about too many things for no reason, and sleeping late.
"Are you hungry, sir?" Lanna quickly adjusted his mood, picked up the cloak beside him, shook it open and put it on.
Lian Yun shook his head.
Lanna's tone was extremely gentle: "Then I'll go see if Lina is awake and count the goods."
Lian Yun nodded.
She looked at Lanna's back as she walked out the door with great confidence, raised her hand silently, and touched her slightly hot earlobe.
Lian Yun didn't expect that he would suddenly blush, even though Lana was the one being stared at.
When did it start?
Did Lanna look her in the eye? Or did he ask her if she was hungry?
Xiaobai looked at his master confusedly.
Lian Yun didn't turn on the communication cheat, so Xiaobai, who couldn't understand human thoughts, had to give up his desire to explore and stretched his body lazily with his claws.
By the time Lian Yun had packed up and was ready to go, Lana had already packed up and was ready to go with his people and goods.
Lanna handed her a long list. "My Lord, some things haven't been prepared yet. For example, the wheat seeds. Meili said that except for the second batch that must be reserved for food, the rest have already been sown."
"But we can use some ore instead."
Last night, their idea was to tell the other party about the mineral resources they had, but Lana felt that seeing is believing, and letting the other party try it in his hands might be more effective.
"And the gems, we packed them in a separate box."
This is a backup opinion.
If the other party's last refusal was just a pretense and he actually wanted greater benefits, then Lian Yun also has enough strength to let the other party see it.
The cargo was escorted by Garin's caravan.
As he watched the team's last gem box set off, Garin mentioned with emotion what the caravan had experienced in the new city.
Although it is not advisable, he can't help but selfishly think that if Buli Lake City is as profit-driven as the new city, the small town will definitely be able to quickly defeat the other party.
Lian Yun smiled and shook his head: "If this is just a temporary alliance, it's good that we can barely deceive ourselves."
But when it comes to victory or defeat, it is obviously extremely dangerous to turn your back on a fence-sitter who only cares about money and is keen to change sides at the last minute.
As they spoke, they walked to the front of the team, and Lina greeted them while riding on the camel Kuikui.
Garen was afraid that mentioning Barry would cause Lina to worry, so he stopped talking about it.
"Sister! Look how tall Kuikui has grown!" Lina hugged Kuikui's neck and shouted happily.
Kuikui seemed to understand Lina's praise and raised her head proudly.
Kuikui has grown a lot in just a few months. Now its fur is shiny and bright, and it looks very healthy.
Lian Yun also realized that the clever Kuikui seemed to have naturally become the leader of this group of camel beasts. All the camel beasts behind him, whether they were carrying people or goods, followed Kuikui.
Lian Yun lowered his head and looked at Xiaobai, who was in his arms and only had a pair of eyes exposed, and was stubbornly refusing to leave.
Since the establishment of the master-pet contract, it has been living by its side. Without its own kind or playmates, it would be bored.
But recently it has been running out at all times of the day and night.
What are you all going to do?
Xiaobai blinked, choosing to ignore his owner's inquiring look.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
So what did Xiaobai do outside?
(Guess the prize.
Prize: a small white embroidered cape of the same style as Lanna!
Lanna: (covering her face expressionlessly)
