Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 468 Assistant

It's a pity that until noon, when Kong Zhe stopped enchanting and began to rest, Liya still got nothing. Instead, she was confused by Kong Zhe's series of abnormal actions. She can be said to be holding back a lot of questions. I want to ask, but at this time, Kong Zhe has been busy all morning and finally can relax for a while, it would be very rude for her to go up and ask immediately.

"Sir, lunch!"

"Oh, thanks, Lan."

Seeing the other side, Lan had already taken out the lunch box that she brought in the morning, and both of them had started to finish their lunch, so Liya simply gave up her plan to ask questions.

Kong Zhe opened the lunch box, and a series of exquisite side dishes appeared in front of his eyes. The staple food was meat and vegetables. The colorful colors made Kong Zhe feel his appetite whetted.

The small room was filled with the aroma of food, and Liya, who was not far away, couldn't help but sniffled. Such a strong aroma made her even more hungry.Maybe it was because of her extreme hunger, Li Ya even felt that what Kong Zhe was eating at the moment must be the best food in the world, and now she misses the carefree life that her master gave her.At that time, why didn't you cherish those delicacies?

Liya couldn't help sighing, but it's a pity that she only has half a steamed bun and a pack of pickles on her body to satisfy her hunger.However, she was too embarrassed to show these things in front of the two of them.

Liya got up quietly, and when neither of them was paying attention to her, she walked out of the door lightly like a kitten.

After going out the door, Liya kept walking, walked around the house, until she reached the empty place behind the hut, looked around, and finally found a stone in the corner and sat down.

The hard steamed bun in her hand was dry and depressed, just like her mood at this time.But no matter how unpalatable it is, she has to bite the bullet and eat it, because this is the path she chose. In order to learn more advanced magic skills, she doesn't care no matter how hard she suffers. What she really suffers from is , this embarrassing feeling, the feeling of inferiority in front of others made her very uncomfortable.

Liya ate a small mouthful of steamed buns and a small mouthful of pickles. Because it was hard to swallow, she ate very slowly.

After staying here for a short time, she heard a slight sound of footsteps not far away, and Liya turned her head unconsciously, only to find that it was the masked woman beside Kong Zhe, who was holding a lunch box, Walked towards himself.

Liya's cheeks were slightly red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, shrinking her body slightly, trying to pretend that she didn't exist, but it was a pity that it was obviously impossible, the other party was coming for her at all.

"Huh? Steamed buns and pickles? It just so happens that I have prepared too much food."

Lan walked directly to Liya's side, smiled slightly, sat down next to her, and handed over the lunch box in her hand.

"Ah...but, but...it's hard to eat."

The other party talked to her so clearly, which made Liya flustered for a while.In a hurry, he wanted to hide the steamed buns and pickles in his hands behind his back.

"It's ok."

Lan smiled softly, and at the same time stretched out her hand, lightly grabbed the thing in her hand, and put it into her lunch box.

"what!"

Liya hurriedly stretched out her hand, trying to stop her, but it was too late. Looking at the piece of dry steamed bun on the top of the box of exquisite meals, which even had her tooth marks on it, Liya felt a pity for a while. , but also more embarrassing.

"Haha, I have no choice now, come on, let's eat together, I can't eat so much by myself!"

Lan spread her hands slyly and smiled.

"...no...no...well..."

Liya wanted to say no, just eat her own food, but when she turned her head and saw the food in the lunch box, the golden pieces of meat, and the neatly cut vegetables, she couldn't help swallowing, what she wanted to say But it can no longer be said.

"This is delicious...ah!"

Lan seemed to have understood her psychology, but at this moment, the chopsticks picked up a piece of juicy meat and lifted it to her mouth, signaling her to open her mouth.

The overflowing aroma, as well as her colic stomach, which was attracted by the food, finally made Liya give up resistance, opened her small mouth unconsciously, and bit down on the piece of meat.

"This, this...delicious..."

Just chewing it, Liya instantly felt that her entire mouth was filled with delicious food.This feeling is like having a sudden epiphany in magic after a dull practice, as if the whole person is refreshed in an instant.

"—better than anything I've ever eaten!"

It's not praise for the sake of praise, Liya really thinks so at this time, even if she is not in such a hungry state now, the food in front of her is too delicious.

"right!"

Hearing this, Lan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "This is my favorite work, although most of it is due to the ingredients, according to my husband, it's the meat of phase beasts, but it's top-level magic ingredients, eating more can strengthen your body." human constitution."

"Magic...ingredients?"

Liya murmured, and couldn't help but look down at the food in the box.

Indeed, after eating that piece of meat, she immediately felt some changes in her body. Although the changes were not too big, she could still clearly feel that her strength seemed to return to her body in an instant. That depression also dissipated a lot.This miraculous effect, if it does not use magic, I am afraid it cannot be explained.

She once heard from her master that this type of food is very precious, and only those sub-professionals of high-end cooking can make it with high-end ingredients. Most people have no chance to taste it, and even the master has only heard of it. .

Didn't expect what I ate to be such a precious thing...

"Thank you...thank you..."

Liya said with a slightly red cheek.The other party may know her strong personality, so she used this method to take care of her own face. It was just this carefulness that moved Li Ya, who was alone at this time.

Liya turned her head slightly, and secretly glanced at Lan beside her.This woman seems to be called 'Lan'... She has been following Kong Zhe as an assistant before, but her attention has always been on Kong Zhe, and she has hardly paid attention to her.Seeing that she is usually taciturn and hardly talks to others, Liya always thought that she was that kind of cold-hearted woman, but she did not expect that she would be such a gentle and approachable person.

Lan smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "You don't need to thank me, actually, it's Mr. who asked me to come out and deliver food to you."

"……Hey?"

Liya raised her head in surprise: "Sir? You mean...Yi, Mr. Yi?"

"Yes."

Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Don't look at the gentleman who usually speaks very little, as if he doesn't care about anything, in fact, he cares about the people around him very much, and he is a careful and gentle person."

"...Is that so..."

Liya was stunned for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Although it's not a big deal, but... I always feel a little happy...

"But, thank you anyway...huh?"

Liya raised her head and was about to thank Lan. No matter what Kong Zhe said, in short, the woman in front of her was the one who gave her food in the end, and she was also a woman. In front of her, she would not be as cautious as when she was facing Kong Zhe Liya felt that she could even open her heart and talk to the other party.

But when Liya looked at Lan, she found that the other party was taking off the mask on his face.Under that cold, heavy iron mask, there was a beautiful face hidden.Willow-like eyes, a small nose, and cherry red lips are perfectly dotted on the cheeks, which are natural, as if everything is telling the beauty that belongs to her, but...

This beauty was destroyed, and was brutally destroyed by those ugly scars like torch worms.It was as if the heavens were jealous of this face.

"Pity……"

Unconsciously, Liya sighed like this.

"what?"

"Ah... no, nothing!"

Liya came back to her senses, her cheeks flushed, she waved her hands again and again, explaining in a panic.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to..."

In her opinion, since the other party is wearing a mask, it is natural that she does not want others to see her face. Liya has a deep understanding of the pain caused by this inferiority complex.

"Oh, this one."

Seeing her flustered look, Lan immediately realized what she meant, couldn't help touching the scar on her cheek, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, I don't care."

"This... how could you not care..."

Liya lowered her head even more. At this time, the other party was still considering her own feelings. The more gentle the other party treated her, the more guilt she felt.

"I really don't care..."

Lan patted her on the shoulder helplessly and comforted her.At the same time, he reached out and picked up the piece of steamed bun in the lunch box and bit it down.

"Ah! This, I can eat this myself..."

Liya was startled, and hurriedly tried to stop it, but when she stretched out her hand, she found that Lan Zheng was eating the food that originally belonged to her with a mouthful of steamed buns and pickles, and there was no expression of impatience on her face. It looks very fragrant.

Liya was stunned for a moment, then asked stupidly: "No, isn't it unpalatable?"

"There's bad food out there."

Lan sighed and shook her head lightly: "Maybe you see me glamorous now, but you can't imagine that just a dozen days ago, I was just a slave living on the street, being bullied and beaten all day long. Sleeping in cardboard boxes and rummaging for food in the trash, at that time a piece of steamed bun and pickles was already the supreme delicacy for me, and the distance from such a life is only ten days now, how could I be so fast? Forget. So..."
