Hello, Arknights

"I feel so full and satisfied... I never realized eating noodles could be so delicious." The young man took the two empty bowls and went back to the stream to wash the bowls. He returned to the town entrance, intending to find out which two kind people had sent him the noodles.

Well, if you don't know the words, please gesture and add them.

"You are satisfied with two bowls of noodles. You are too narrow-minded." Xiaoxie was very contemptuous.

"You're not the one who's starving." Ling Dengxian rolled his eyes and didn't intend to refute further.

The town is not big and is not very busy right now. It should be the beginning of the harvest soon. Most of the dozens of households are busy in the fields, and there are not many pedestrians in the town.

"Then it shouldn't be difficult for me to find a odd job." Ling Dengxian was walking carefully on the roadside. The owner of the pub looked drowsy, and pedestrians on the street occasionally cast curious glances at Ling Dengxian.

Oops! I don't even have the courage to talk to him!

Isn't it a bit funny to stand stiffly at the intersection holding two bowls?

Gradually, a roar came from behind him. He turned around subconsciously and saw a red tractor.

"Hello! Did you have a good morning?" said the orange-red figure, her blue eyes sparkling with sunshine. Ling Dengxian looked at the girl. For some reason, he felt that the sight of her sitting on a tractor, which should have been a very strange thing, was not at all inappropriate.

As for greetings, he can still understand such short sentences, which is related to basic skills.

"Oh, very good, thank you." Ling Dengxian realized belatedly that the noodles were given by the girl in front of him, at least one bowl was.

It was so difficult to communicate in a foreign language. It was one of the few communications in the past eleven days. The other party was a beautiful girl. Ling Dengxian felt a little overwhelmed. He turned his eyes and noticed the curved horns on the other party's head. The unique shape allowed him to identify her race - Vaifan.

Dragon species... generally have strong physical fitness.

"I'm sorry, I was planning to deliver it to you personally, so that you might feel more at ease while eating it," the girl from Waifan stopped the tractor and got off the car with a "whoosh". "But Uncle Duva's tractor had some problems and he asked me to help fix it. I put it on your way when you came to town." The girl looked at the boy and found that he just blinked and said nothing.

Sister, what did you say? Ling Dengxian said that he felt that he could not bear this kind of super-level hearing, and his mind went blank.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Seeing his bewildered face, the girl with long orange hair also scratched her head, also a little confused: mute? No, he just spoke.

Then, the air was quiet for a while, and finally the boy raised the bowl in his hand: "...Thank you." That's all I can say!

"Ah, you washed the dishes. Hey, why are there two bowls?" The girl swung her skirt and took one of the bowls. She looked at his expression asking for help and was a little confused: "Do you want me to help you with something?"

Looking at the lovely and simple girl in front of him, Ling Dengxian's heart moved. No, this should be the luck that came to him. Such a great opportunity cannot be missed! Gritting his teeth, he tentatively said the words he had rehearsed many times in his mind before:

"I want to get a job."

"Work? What kind of work?"

"Anything is fine. Being hungry, the feeling of being hungry is very uncomfortable." Ling Dengxian felt his tongue was about to get tied.

After sending the tractor away, Dua used a sickle to harvest the last piece of wheat in the field. He carefully picked up a bag of wheat from the sacks of wheat stacked on the ridge and walked towards home. It was noon, and it was also the busiest time of the day.

Such a sunrise is very quiet, but will soon become scorching hot. In such a sincere breeze, the days are filled with the fragrance of bread.

Not long after they started walking, the gray-haired Kuranta ran into a messenger from a neighboring town.

"Good morning, Mr. Rolle, any news today?"

"Good morning, Mr. Duval. I think I do have some news to tell everyone in the town." The messenger looked a little worried. "Recently, people in Dick Town, Duoluo Town, and Luxi Town have successively claimed to have discovered traces of large wild animals. It doesn't seem to be groundless."

"A large wild beast? Is anyone injured?" Duva frowned. People had spotted it in three nearby towns, and its activity range was quite wide. It seemed that it should have run to their side.

"No, it was Viscount Mandel's beast that bit a farmer's young pack animal and refused to pay compensation. He was quite shameless. He is obviously a noble... Sorry for getting off topic."

"Are they talking about... the same beast?"

"It should be. They say it's blue-black. It's said that when that guy runs, he's like a blue-black hurricane, with enough force to crush rocks."

"What does that look like?"

"...I'm not sure. Some say it's a lizard, some say it's a big leopard. Anyway, no one has seen it clearly, but it's definitely big." The messenger was helpless. "It's far away, people are scared, and it's dangerous. We have to notify them."

"So what are those noble lords going to do?"

"A bounty has been issued. Don't worry too much. There should be bounty hunters coming to hunt it down and expel it soon."

Duva shrugged the sack on his shoulder and nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and tell the others to be careful. It's hard for you to make such a trip... I'll treat you to a drink another day. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is one more thing. Here is a letter addressed to—"

Twenty minutes later.

It was clearly a letter to Waifan, but Duva couldn't help but glance at a corner of the open space: "Girl, did you take in that boy of unknown origin?"

"Ah? No, he's doing odd jobs for me." The girl glanced at someone who was diligently sorting and categorizing parts, and smiled with a hint of confusion, "I just don't know why he doesn't talk much, it's a bit strange."

The middle-aged Kuranta sighed deeply and said, "Girl, you have to be careful and be alert to strangers."

"Well, don't worry, Uncle Dua. I don't think he is a bad person." The Vaifan girl's tone became lighter.

The boy's clothes were not very neat, but his expression was not depressed. At this moment, his back showed a kind of vigorous vitality, which was just right next to the house.

"I thought, he was just having a little trouble and reached out, and that's what I did."

"Okay." Duva smiled, handed over the letter, and after giving a few instructions about the beasts, he turned and left without saying anything else.

The girl turned around and smiled brightly: "By the way, I still don't know your name after so long. You can call me Bagpipe. What's your name?"

"Ah, Ling Dengxian. The 'Ling' in 'Lingyun', and the 'Dengxian' in 'Dengxianzhibei'." As soon as the words were spoken, the two were stunned.

Because Ling Dengxian subconsciously used his native language, but Fengpi understood it.
