After noon, the sun shone brightly.

Soong Xintong filled a basket with the fir fungus, basilisk mushrooms, and ordinary mushrooms that she had picked in the morning and walked towards Scholar Lu's house.

Walking out of the courtyard, he peeked inside and didn't discover the beautiful mute woman. Only then did he enter with ease. After he quietly walked two steps, he heard a gentle voice come from beneath the osmanthus tree. "What is Miss doing sneaking around?"

Soong Xintong suddenly turned her head and saw Lu Yunkai, dressed in white, sitting on a stone table under the osmanthus tree. He held a book in his hand and looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

Soong Xintong, who was getting goosebumps from being stared at, smiled awkwardly. She looked at the scar on Lu Yunkai's face and thought of how he rebutted her with a few words today. She felt that the scar was very pleasing to look at.

Soong Xintong carried the basket and walked to the stone table, "Scholar Lu, thank you so much for today."

"It was nothing." Lu Yunkai said lightly.

"I picked it up this morning. It's fresh." Soong Xintong placed the basket on the table and said, "I'll give it to you."

Lu Yunkai, on the other hand, recognized the fungus, but he had never seen the other two species before. After putting down the book in his hand, he picked up a basilisk and asked, "Is this also a mushroom?"

"This is a basilisk." Soong Xintong casually picked a stone chair and sat down. She pointed at the baobao and said, "Scholar Lu, don't you think it looks like a monkey head?"

Lu Yunkai nodded, "It does look like it."

"This mushroom has eaten very well. Its nature is flat, and it tastes good. It can help with digestion, and also has the effects of strengthening the stomach, nourishing the deficiency, and nourishing the kidney." Soong Xintong glanced at Lu Yunkai from head to toe, "A talent like Scholar Lu who has been using his brain for many years, eating more is good for his body."

Invigorating kidney essence? Lu Yunkai couldn't help but glance at Soong Xintong. She really could say anything she wanted.

"This is the fir fungus." Soong Xintong picked up the fungus and said, "This also has the effect of soothing the stomach and clearing the spirit."

"It's fine if you cook with stew."

"Since it's so good, I think it's better if you keep it to exchange for silver." Lu Yunkai put the basilisk back in its place, then picked up the book and started reading again.

"I still have some in my family. These are all to thank Scholar Lu for saving my little bro, and also to thank him for rebutting on my behalf." Soong Xintong pushed the basket away, "Could it be that Scholar Lu doesn't like these small gifts?"

Lu Yunkai raised his eyes to look at Soong Xintong and said, "I didn't do anything, so I don't have to worry about it. Besides, I already thanked you two days ago, that's enough."

"How can that be? "No more than a catty of food." It was Soong Xintong's first time seeing someone with such a high status not wanting anything in return.

Lu Yunkai said lightly: "To you, it's a big favor. To me, it's just a small matter, just like this dish."

Soong Xintong opened her mouth but did not expect Lu Yunkai to be so determined.

"Then I've already mentioned all these, so I'll just stay." Soong Xintong stood up and ran outside. She didn't want to owe him anything, so she decided to use her method to repay him once more.

Lu Yunkai looked at the fresh herb in the basket and then looked at the green figure. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and said, "Miss Soong, please wait."

Soong Xintong turned around and looked at Lu Yunkai through the yard wall.

"The most popular place in the county should be given by a lady?" Lu Yunkai asked.

Soong Xintong tilted her head, "How did Scholar Lu know?"

"Yesterday, I saw Lucky Restaurant's carriage pass by the village, and you sent fresh ear root over." Lu Yunkai smiled, "Lady, are you worrying about the supply of goods?"

Could it be that this person had mental reading skills? Soong Xintong nodded, "What does Scholar Lu mean?"

"Does Miss know the source of the stream?" Lu Yunkai asked again.

Soong Xintong knew the pool. "Yes."

"Let's go over there." Lu Yunkai turned around and was about to walk back.

Soong Xintong was stunned for a moment. "Why is Scholar Lu helping me?"

Lu Yunkai raised the basket in his hands. "Thank you so much for giving me these delicacies."

However, this Scholar Lu was completely different from the poor Elementary Scholar that she remembered. He had his own pride, but he treated people as if they were ordinary people, and would not look down on them for no reason. Even if there were some huge changes, he would still be as gentle as a jade.

Lu Yunkai, who had returned to the yard, put the basket in the kitchen, "Mom, this was sent over by the villagers."

Lu's Mother looked into the basket and saw that it was filled with rare herbs. She gestured and asked, "Which villagers? Do you need me to return the favor? "

"No need, I've already thanked you." Lu Yunkai supported Lu's Mother into the house, "How about we catch a chicken to stew these mushrooms tonight?"

Lu's Mother gestured and said, "Leave those chickens to lay eggs to nourish your body."

"Mom, I've just received the rice this month, so I have enough money. There's no need to save so much." Lu Yunkai helped Lu's Mother to sit on the red lacquer chair and poured her a cup of tea, "Besides, the academy is reopened, so you don't have to worry about money."

Lu's Mother shook her head disapprovingly. "You're already eighteen, it's time to give you a kiss. Didn't the academy dean's daughter already have feelings for you?" Mother wants the matchmaker to talk about it? "

Lu Yunkai sipped his tea and said lightly, "The principal's girl is already a wife, don't ruin her reputation."

Lu's Mother obviously didn't know about this. She looked at her son in surprise, then at the scar across his face, and covered her face and started to cry. She was delicate and beautiful.

Lu Yunkai put down his tea cup helplessly and walked over to comfort his mother, "Mother, don't cry. Your son doesn't like the principal's girl, so it doesn't matter."

Soong Xintong came out of the academy and walked directly towards the pond along the stream. Because there were very few people walking around, the weeds were overgrown and she couldn't move her feet. With much difficulty, she arrived at the pond in the cove.

A cool breeze blew over, blowing away the heat from her journey. The sunlight shined on the surface of the water, causing the waves to flutter. The figures of fish could be vaguely seen swimming merrily in the water.

Soong Xintong walked around the edge of the pond. Suddenly, she noticed that the empty space beside the pond was covered with lush green fishy grass. White spikes grew between the green leaves. At a glance, it looked like a garden.

So many! More than he had ever seen in the mountains.

Soong Xintong was overjoyed, at least twice.

Soong Xintong looked around the pond and then up the mountainside. She was a little worried that someone would see her. The real appearance of Broken Ears was exposed too early.

However, there was nothing he could do now.

He only hoped that those people would be fine and head towards the end of the village.

Soong Xintong turned around and walked back home. She quickly took a sickle and cut a one-inch path through it. It would be convenient for her to travel back and forth when she was digging the fishy plants tomorrow.

After cutting the grass, Soong Xintong found a rock to block the sunlight and sat down. She looked at the one-acre wide pool in front of her. It was very quiet around her.

Unknowingly, her worries had been blown away by the wind. Soong Xintong pursed her lips and looked at the pond with a smile. This place was truly like a paradise, truly comfortable.

She didn't even want to go home.
