Chapter 67
==================
"Lanna?" Lian Yun called him softly.
Lanna came back to her senses and smiled gently at Lian Yun: "It's nothing, I was negligent."
He took the box from Luo's hand, took out the necklace, and handed it to Lian Yun personally: "Luo is right. With this, it is indeed safer."
Luo's box was snatched away unexpectedly. He only had time to stretch out his hand, but couldn't touch it, so he had to put it down again. His smile faded a little: "I can't see it, so Lanna should take it for you, sir."
Lian Yun looked at Luo, then at Lana, and vaguely felt that these two people with similar blood did not seem to be as close as he thought.
Lian Yun accepted the necklace and thanked Luo: "You are very thoughtful. In fact, you can get in touch with Greedo. You can discuss many of your ideas with him and put them into practice."
Luo nodded gently: "I think so too. I'm very happy to be able to do something for the town."
Still a good kid.
Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that Luo could communicate more with others and have a more cheerful personality.
After dinner, Luo didn't stay long and let Lina take him home.
Lian Yun took Lan Na upstairs and returned the mended cloak to him.
A large white ball was embroidered at the crack on the left hem, with two black dots in the white.
Lana was stunned: "This is... Xiaobai?"
Lian Yun stuffed the cloak into his arms, his eyes filled with stars. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Lanna took the heavy cloak and couldn't help but reach out to touch the uneven stitching.
Lian Yun's smile froze. "Don't think the lines are a bit messy, but they look very similar..."
"Thank you, sir..." Lana's voice was so soft, so soft that Lian Yun thought he had misheard.
"From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever mended my clothes."
Lanna lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.
"I'm glad you don't mind." Lian Yun said carelessly, "I don't have much to do anyway, so this little thing is no problem for me."
Seeing that Lanna still hadn't recovered, Lian Yun asked carefully, "No one mended your clothes before, so did you sew them yourself?"
Lana met Lian Yun's eyes, eyes full of determination: "Yes, if we are discovered..."
Lian Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little sad.
"They will be put into new clothes directly."
Lian Yun sighed, and she knew...
“……?”
Lian Yun looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, who had a slightly hurt expression.
Did she seem to be hallucinating?
"Just change into new clothes?" Lian Yun asked uncertainly.
"Yes," Lanna nodded slowly, "because they think I shouldn't waste my energy on these things. If they're broken, just throw them away. They're not worth paying too much attention to."
He paused as he spoke, as if recalling something.
"They... would also warn me not to get damaged like that dress."
Will be discarded.
As expected, the ending was just like that, he was abandoned.
Lian Yun wanted to pat his shoulder and say comforting words as usual, but she found that she could not say anything.
She stared at Lanna for a while, then finally stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand, and gave Lanna a big hug through the thick cloak.
Perhaps because of his identity as a vampire, Lanna's body temperature is always very cold.
The girl hugged his shoulders hard and rested her head on his shoulders, trying to convey some warmth to him through this action.
Lana froze and stood there in a daze.
"It's all in the past. The town will never abandon you."
"Everyone in this small town is your family. No matter what you are like, you will never be abandoned."
No one is a flawless and perfect fortress.
What's wrong with having weaknesses? No one alive is without weaknesses.
“You may have your own armor, but when facing your family, you can take it off.”
The girl's calm and gentle voice came from the side. Lanna held the cloak in a daze, and blinked his blue eyes helplessly.
It seemed as if some emotion suddenly broke out from his chest, pushing his heart again and again like a surging tide.
Bang bang.
"Will you not abandon me?"
Amidst the pounding of his heart, he heard himself asking this question uncontrollably.
"certainly."
The girl answered without hesitation.
The brief hug was like a dragonfly touching the water, and the girl took a few steps back and gave him a bright smile.
The warmth is still there.
Lana couldn't help but stare at Lian Yun's smile, then restrained herself from looking away.
He took off the cloak that belonged to Lian Yun and handed it to her when he suddenly thought of something.
"Was your Excellency also wearing this white cloak when he was attacked?"
Lian Yun nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
That makes sense.
"The same shark attacked the second time using the same method - ramming."
Lanna stared at her, "My Lord was hit in the abdomen, but he didn't tell me."
"Ah..." Lian Yun laughed and looked away, "You know it now."
"I don't mean to blame you, sir. I also know that you are worried that I will blame myself." Lanna said gently, "I will never fall into such useless emotions again."
After a brief heart-to-heart talk, the two shifted the topic back to the town.
Lian Yun said, "Aibei told me today that the frog population has been stable recently. I think we can set up a breeding farm now."
During the days they went to Kuoge City, Gerry was preparing everything Lian Yun wanted to do, such as the breeding farm, for which Gerry had already made a blueprint.
Lian Yun ran to the bed and took out the design drawings drawn by Gary and the new architect from under the pillow.
They plan to find a place to dig down in the open space in the south, so that half of the entire farm is underground and the other half is above ground, and a pond can be used underground to store water.
On the other hand, because these frogs do not have much independent thinking and can be said to be jumping pieces of meat, keeping them in a semi-underground environment can also prevent them from running around.
"Okay, I'll take the little frog with me tomorrow."
"I'll go too." Lian Yun said.
"But you're not well yet..."
Lian Yun shook his head firmly: "I have other ideas."
Although there is a well in the town now, the water source is still too limited with just one well.
As the population increases in the future, more and more places will use water.
Lian Yun wants to go to the cave this time and it would be best if he can find a new water source.
On the one hand, it solves the town’s water problem, and on the other hand, the water in the cave has the effect of enhancing physical strength, with only benefits and no harm.
Lanna agreed with her plan, but he couldn't help but worry: "But if we go further in, there might be other dangers."
He was referring to several holes extending inward hidden underwater.
"I understand." Lian Yun nodded happily.
He's just a gangster, she's familiar with him.
Early the next morning, Lian Yun and his group were about to leave the town for the cave, and they saw a caravan having breakfast near a tavern.
The captain ran out to greet them: "We will rest for half a day this morning and leave at noon."
Lian Yun smiled and nodded: "That's perfect, I'll be back before noon, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
The captain knew that the girl must be discussing ways to make money with them, so he happily agreed: "Okay, then we'll wait for you to come back."
This time they brought Abe and Lina with them. Before leaving, they told Gerry that they were going to find a water source and asked Gerry to prepare it in advance.
Several people rushed to the cave and found No. 1685 staring intently at the water in front of the pool next to the bombed wall.
Next to No. 1685 was a pile of magic crystals as big as a small mountain.
What surprised them was that No. 1685 actually put away his fishing rod.
This is very rare.
"What's wrong with you?" Several people gathered around him and looked down along his line of sight, but saw nothing.
"Something."
?
They looked at each other, and Lana tilted his head slightly towards the little frog on his shoulder, only to hear the little frog croak firmly.
"No one went in the water except me. The stone stayed on the shore the whole time."
Lanna frowned: "What stone?"
The little frog jumped to the ground with a "clack" and leaped towards the wall that had been blown up.
After the team's excavation a few days ago, this place has become high enough for one person to pass through.
The little frog jumped in through the gap, and the rest of the people also passed through sideways one by one.
What comes into view is the same wall as the outer cave, but this space is wider.
Controlled by the little frog, the frogs in the open space jumped into the water and swam to the outer cave.
This gives them a more complete view of the entire cave.
On the flat and compacted mud ground, there were several huge stones, each of which was half the size of a little white cat.
There were several dark holes on the side of the stone, and you couldn't see inside clearly.
The pond on the side extended inward, and the several underwater holes were obviously not something they could pass through.
"I still have a blasting talisman." Lian Yun said, but he was hesitant to take action.
There was no other reason. The underwater cave in front of me looked much thicker than the outer cave wall when I came in.
Several people went forward and groped for a while, then knocked on the stone wall, but heard nothing.
Lian Yun squatted down, put his hand into the cold water, closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while.
“The water is flowing.”
Just as the little frog said at the beginning, this body of water is the place that nurtures them. Since it can give birth to life, it must not be a stagnant pool of water.
Sure enough, Lian Yun felt the fluctuations coming from the three underwater caves in the water.
"In this case, we can't use the blasting talisman at all." Lana analyzed.
"Because of the long-term flow of water, the stone wall at the cave entrance must be more brittle and thinner than the stone walls higher up. If there is another explosion, it's likely that it's not the stone wall that will be cracked, but the cave entrance."
Once the cave entrance collapsed, they had no way to get in.
Lian Yun sighed: "Maybe I should bring Xiaobai with me?"
Lanna measured the size of the underwater cave entrance and silently lowered his hand. "Even if Xiaobai came, he probably wouldn't be able to get through. Let the little frog go."
It has been staring at the water surface since it first realized there was something underwater.
It’s not surprising. Anyone would be curious if they knew that there was another kind of life in the place where they had lived alone for decades.
By this time, Aibei had already walked to the big rocks and knocked on them with his knuckles.
Not only did I not get any response, but I also hurt my hand.
Aibei turned his head with a look of grievance when he suddenly heard an old and deep voice coming from behind him, which frightened him so much that his whole body froze.
"Don't knock, there's no one at that house."
