The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Early in the morning, when a drop of dew slid down the leaves, Lu Shi just woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she didn't know what time it was, but she felt refreshed and full of energy, as if she had taken some tonic pill.

Looking down again, the wound on his shoulder had completely disappeared, and the newly grown skin was as white and smooth as a freshly peeled egg, so delicate that it seemed as if it could be broken by a touch.

Oh wow, looking at her palms again, the calluses she had earned from working in the cold palace suddenly disappeared.

Cool!

I didn't expect that Xie Yue was really willing to save her. Now their relationship is really complete.

Lu Shi was delighted. She looked around and found that Xie Yue was not in the cave. However, she thought that since they had a friendship that had gone through life and death, she believed that Xie Yue would definitely not abandon her.

Sure enough, after a while Xie Yue came back with a handful of fruits and a fish.

"Xie Yue, you're back."

"Yeah." Although Xie Yue only replied with one word, his tone was gentle and there was a faint smile on his face.

"There's fish. I'm hungry." Rubbing his hungry stomach, Lu Shi looked at Xie Yue eagerly, his meaning obvious.

"Eat some wild fruits first to fill your stomach. The fish will be ready soon."

Xie Yue walked up and gave all the wild fruits in his arms to Lu Shi. After rubbing her head, he turned around and started grilling the fish.

Lu Shi, whose head was suddenly rubbed, opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the air.

Xie Yue secretly observed her reaction with the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with smiles. He secretly rubbed his fingers, and the soft touch just now seemed to still linger on his fingertips.

As he landed with his back to the ground, he gave a stunning smile where no one could see.

The fruit in his hand was warmed in Xie Yue's arms and was still warm in Lu Shi's hand. Lu Shi picked up a bright red fruit and put it in his mouth.

It was very sweet, too sweet. It was not the taste that Lu Shi liked, but the people in front of him liked it very much.

She glanced at Xie Yue, wondering whether he liked her or not.

Thinking of this, she suddenly picked up a wild fruit, walked to Xie Yue, and handed it directly to his lips, "I just ate one, it's so sweet, you try it."

Xie Yue opened his mouth and ate it, his voice like a misty mist lingering on the tip of his tongue: "Hmm, very sweet."

"It's sweet, I'll give you all you want if you like it."

A handful of fruit was transferred to Xie Yue's arms. Lu Shi took the fish from his hand and said, "Leave the fish to me. You can eat the fruit."

He took out a porcelain bottle of seasoning from the inner pocket of his sleeve and opened it casually.

"It's strange to say, this porcelain bottle didn't break after falling from such a high place. It's really amazing, and we are both completely unharmed."

"The arrow wound in my shoulder was just like an illusion."

"So, Xie Yue, what medicine did you use to cure me?"

Xie Yue's body suddenly stopped. Both he and Lu Shi knew that what Lu Shi said just now seemed to be nothing wrong, but it was actually a test from Lu Shi.

After all, no matter how magical it is, it is impossible to escape unscathed if you fall from such a high cliff.

No matter how powerful the medicine is, it is impossible to completely heal the wound on the shoulder overnight.

She was waiting for her explanation.

But how should I explain it?

To be honest, according to the thinking of this era, would she regard herself as a monster?

The longer the silence lasted, the paler Xie Yue's face became.

It was already September and the temperature was getting cooler, but Xie Yue's face was covered with fine, dense beads of cold sweat.

Lu Shi laughed in his heart, thinking that if someone didn't know, they would think they were in a furnace.

How can a person be so nervous?

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Anyway, I know you won't hurt me."

Lu Shi sprinkled seasoning on the fish, and the aroma of fish began to spread outward. Lu Shi sniffed and said, "The fish looks ready to eat. Try it."

She turned around with the grilled fish in her hand and was instantly shocked by the scene before her.

Xie Yue's eyes were red and a thin layer of mist filled his eyes. His dark eyes had lost their usual coolness and were wet, like a deer lost in the forest, confused and helpless.

When he saw Lu Shi looking at him, Xie Yue quickly lowered his head again, and his slightly trembling long black eyelashes cast a thick shadow under his eyes.

Not knowing which words had flipped a switch, Lu Shi spoke cautiously, "Xie Yue, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're about to cry? Did something I said just now offend you?"

Oh my god, please don't cry. She really didn't expect Xie Yue to look so tearful.

Is there some kind of magic spell on her? How can she always make a man of steel cry so easily?

"No." Xie Yue lowered his head to hide the emotions in his eyes. When he looked up again, his eyes became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.

“I am not from this world.”

After saying this, Xie Yue closed his eyes and waited for the judgment when he landed.

"So where are you from?"

The clear voice of a young boy reached Xie Yue's ears. He slowly opened his eyes and met Lu Shi's gaze.

There was no fear or suspicion in those eyes, only full of trust and curiosity.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What are you afraid of? You've never hurt me. Not only that, you even saved me yesterday. Look at my hands. They were all calloused and ugly. I don't know what method you used to make them so white and tender, but I really want to thank you. You're amazing."

Xie Yue suddenly laughed out loud. He didn't expect that the reason why Lu Shi was happy was so simple. She was already praising him in various ways just for removing the calluses on her hands.

Her attitude made Xie Yue put aside his last bit of worry, and he began to tell Lu Shi every detail of his life.

"I come from a very, very far place, not the same world as you. That place has many amazing things, such as airplanes and rockets that can take people into space, and high-speed trains that can travel over 300 kilometers in half an hour."

"Over here, almost everyone can go to school. There are six years of elementary school, six years of middle school and high school, and then there's university. I'm a university professor, what you call a teacher. I don't know how I ended up here..."

Xie Yue paused for a moment before continuing slowly.

"After arriving here, I was given a system that told me I could return home if I completed the mission, or if I collected 100,000 points."

"My mission is to make you a wise ruler, but this mission is obviously not easy."

Xie Yue smiled and said, "So I want to earn points first. Every time I do something good for the people, I can get corresponding points. The amount can be more or less, depending on the degree of completion and importance."

"So how many points have you collected now? I remember the rice seeds you got last time can solve the low grain yield problem for the people and ensure they have enough to eat, so that's a lot of points, right?"

Lu Shi made a big gesture with his pen, and his exaggerated expression and movement made Xie Yue laugh again, "There are a lot, but I've used them all up."

"What's used up?" Lu Shi was slightly shocked.

"Points. I've earned points for six years, and now they're all gone. I still owe the system 2000 points."
