Luo Xinglan was shocked: "What? Come back right now!"
There was suddenly no sound from the thief's side.
Luo Xinglan gripped the communicator tightly and lowered her voice: "The master thief?"
There was silence on the communicator.
Luo Xinglan gritted his teeth. Could it be...
“Master,” the thief’s voice suddenly rang out, “I was mistaken just now, that person… oh no, that thing isn’t Yafei.”
Upon hearing the bandit's voice, Luo Xinglan almost wept with joy, ignoring the strangeness in its words: "Bandit, it's too dangerous there, come back quickly!"
The thief noticed the tremor in her voice and reassured her, "Master, I'm alright. I just found something very strange... Hey, Yafei is right ahead! She's still sleeping!"
Luo Xinglan had calmed down by now. She knew that the thief would have to use the mantra spell on Yafei before he would come back.
"Thief, there are only three minutes left, you have to hurry."
All she can do now is to keep an eye on the time.
The thief's voice dropped. "Three minutes... is enough!"
There was a rustling sound from the other side.
After a moment, the thief said happily, "Master, the mantra spell was used successfully! Ask whatever you want to ask!"
"Okay, I understand," Luo Xinglan asked without hesitation, "Yafei, tell me where the 'Gate of Life' is?"
She wanted to know if she could find the "safe door" by completing the spring, summer, autumn and winter maps.
Yafei's voice came from the communicator without any fluctuations: "On the winter map."
Luo Xinglan asked again: "How do I activate the key to the 'Winter Solstice Gate'?"
Yafei: "Tingting has developed super rice, and the 'Winter Gate' key is automatically activated."
Luo Xinglan and Tingting looked at each other.
Just as she thought!
Already knowing what he wanted to ask, Luo Xinglan urged: "Okay, thief, I've asked everything I wanted to ask, please come back quickly."
The master thief: "Master, Yafei is answering your questions with her eyes closed, it's so much fun! I have to give her a big gift before I leave!"
Luo Xinglan said helplessly, "There's less than a minute left."
Thief: "Don't worry! It only takes half a minute!"
There was another slight sound from the communicator.
"Alright! I'm going back now!"
The thief said with a smile.
Soon, communication was cut off.
Luo Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
Tingting couldn't understand: "Why did Yafei do this? What does my research on super rice have to do with her? She actually uses this as a condition for activating the key!"
Luo Xinglan: "What stage are you at in your research?"
Tingting sighed, her face a cloud of worry. "Oh, just talking about this gives me a headache. The rice I grow can grow over two meters tall and grows very quickly, but the yield is not as good as ordinary rice. I've tried everything, but there's been no progress."
Luo Xinglan nodded.
Perhaps Yafei was certain that Tingting couldn't develop super rice, which is why he confidently made this a prerequisite for activation.
In this way, she will never be able to open the "Winter Gate".
However, since this concerns whether she can leave, we still need to find a way to help Tingting.
Luo Xinglan patted Tingting on the shoulder, her tone very serious: "I'll help you research super rice!"
Tingting asked in surprise, "You know about this kind of thing too?"
Luo Xinglan: "...I don't understand, but I can learn!"
And it must be learned in the shortest possible time.
Tingting smiled somewhat reluctantly: "Then I wish you success."
Luo Xinglan encouraged her: "We will definitely succeed!"
Tingting shook her head and walked away with her hands behind her back.
It can be seen that she has no confidence in Luo Xinglan.
Luo Xinglan, however, was full of energy at this moment.
...
The children all learned that only by developing super rice could they leave this place, and they were all full of enthusiasm.
In one afternoon, they not only finished harvesting all the rice, but also all the other crops, working until sunset.
Back at the thatched hut, Luo Xinglan discussed with Tingting: "We can get the land ready in another morning tomorrow. I'll take the little robots and we can do it. You can continue your research on your super rice."
Tingting nodded: "Okay."
Growing super rice has always been her wish, and now it's also related to whether she can get out of here, so of course she has to hurry up and do research.
The two had just finished their discussion when the thief returned.
Tingting's eyes lit up, and she came closer and whispered to the thief.
The thief was talking to her animatedly, and the two of them covered their mouths and laughed heartily.
Luo Xinglan was confused: "What are you two talking about?"
Just as the thief was about to speak, Tingting quickly covered his mouth: "Nothing!"
Luo Xinglan asked suspiciously, "Nothing happened, why were you two laughing so loudly just now?"
Tingting chuckled: "Oh, this is a little secret between the two of us."
The master thief: "Master, you'll find out later."
Luo Xinglan thought the two of them were weird.
But it didn't seem like a bad thing, so Luo Xinglan stopped asking.
The thief winked at Tingting, then jumped onto Luo Xinglan's shoulder: "Master, I'm back safely!"
Luo Xinglan shook her head helplessly.
That thief is such a worry.
Luo Xinglan: "By the way, Thief, I kept trying to contact you through the communicator this afternoon. Why didn't you reply?"
The thief looked puzzled: "I didn't hear you. I only heard you talking to me when we got to Yafei's house, so I answered you."
Luo Xinglan murmured, "Could it be that the communicator is malfunctioning?"
The thief pointed to his head: "Perhaps. Master, let me tell you, I didn't mean to disobey you. I suffered a lot on the way here, and it took me a lot of effort to get to her house. I don't want to make the same trip again."
Luo Xinglan then realized that her head was scraped and bleeding.
"What happened?"
The master thief said, "I don't know. It seems like there was an invisible wall blocking my way, but who am I? She can't stop me at all! I smashed through that wall and crawled inside."
Luo Xinglan quickly applied medicine to the thief.
The thief grimaced in pain.
After applying the medicine, the thief suddenly said, "Master, there's something strange about Yafei's house. I also saw something very strange."
Luo Xinglan: "How is it strange?"
The thief said: "She has a lot of bottles and jars at home, and a lot of hot potions that look very complicated, red and green. I don't know if they are poisons."
Luo Xinglan nodded.
One of the things in Yafei's introduction is that she is good at doing experiments, so perhaps that was her experimental subject.
Luo Xinglan asked again, "And what is that strange thing?"
The thief shook his head: "I can't explain it either, but I took pictures. Master, you can go and look at the pictures!"
Luo Xinglan had no choice but to dig out the photos taken by the master thief.
When she saw the scene in the photo, she shuddered all over.
