When you step into the barn, you are left behind by the sweltering heat, and the cool, dry air makes you unconsciously relax.
The butler took the lead and strode into the innermost part of the barn, removed a bag of rice from the shelf, laid it on the ground, and then went to the side of the box to get a knife and unpacked the bag of rice with the thread.
The housekeeper tore open the opening of the rice bag, and this action made the white rice move in pieces, squeezing out a trace of mellow rice fragrance.
Facing this rushing aroma, Bai Lian and Ming Lian couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling a little hungry, after all, they are still children, and the effort to go down the mountain and the rush to turn the fate are very physically exhausting, so they will naturally be hungry.
"Gollum."
The little belly of the life lotus made a muffled sound, showing its dissatisfaction.
It was embarrassing to have a ringing stomach in front of others, Minglian's face turned red all of a sudden, and she covered her little belly with some desire, but the hunger was still there, and the rolling stomach made a muffled sound again.
"Hmm......" Minglian let out an embarrassed whisper, and the whole person squatted down, as if he could escape from this embarrassing atmosphere after lowering his head.
Seeing this scene, the housekeeper smiled, the smile at this time was very different from the smile when opening the door, if the housekeeper's smile when opening the door was out of politeness so it seemed raw, then now the housekeeper's smile is a little more cordial, a bit like an uncle at home.
"This little nun also seems to be hungry, why don't you stay a little longer, and wait until later to eat at the master's house, how about it?"
"No need, but thank you for your kindness. If the two sisters go back late, the mage will be hungry too! Bai Lian replied without humility or arrogance, and said with an indifferent face like a little adult, "Donor, please." β
After speaking, she took out an unremarkable, brown bowl from the cloth bag behind her and held it in front of the butler.
"Ah, that's fine." The butler understood what Bai Lian meant, sighed, and then he found the rice spoon from the box on the side.
The two young girls on one side, including the life lotus who was squatting on the ground, watched the housekeeper's movements together, and they watched as he lifted the rice spoon and pressed it down firmly, and soon came into contact with the white flowery rice.
The rice spoon pressed open the rice grains, but the next moment they were covered with the flowing rice grains that were rolled upside down.
At this time, the butler's movements suddenly slowed down, and the grain of rice seemed to carry a huge resistance, preventing him from lifting the spoon easily. The butler's hand shook, and the grains of rice splattered and jumped in the sack, some jumping out of the snares of the spoons, and new ones jumping in.
Bai Lian was a little strange, and her gaze shifted from the rice bag to the butler's face.
The butler's face had long since lost his smile.
In the shadow of the barn and the sunlight rushing in, the ruddy face squeezed out reluctance, hesitation, and a hint of heaviness.
"What...... On the surface, it looks kind and generous, but in fact, it's not a dime-wrenching iron rooster! Bai Lian muttered in her heart, she didn't understand why the housekeeper made such a struggle, she just thought it was a kind of stinginess.
The lifted rice spoon pours a spoonful of rice into the round bowl, but of course, such a little rice does not fill the bowl.
The butler saw the expectant eyes of the two young girls, and he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh and poured another spoonful of rice into the bowl.
Just as the housekeeper raised his hand and was about to dig the third spoonful, Bai Lian suddenly spoke.
This time, she didn't use the expression of a little adult before, but showed the innocent little face of a child.
"Uncle housekeeper, may I ask you a question?"
"Huh? Little Nigong, you ask! The butler looked at the Holy White Lotus with some confusion and poured the third spoonful of rice into the bowl.
"I just want to know, your master's family has so much grain in stock, why don't you go and help the villagers outside, it's a big drought now, right? I see that the villagers outside are all skinny, aren't you going to do some good deeds? β
"Uh...... This one. The butler's face became a little embarrassed, and he looked at the two little girls with some embarrassment, and stopped talking.
Without waiting for the housekeeper to speak, Bai Lian continued to persuade with great interest.
"You should know what it's like to be hungry! It's far worse than the pain of burning and freezing, and the villagers outside are all suffering like that, but now you don't have to starve, but you have a lot of money, why can't you help your fathers and fellow villagers? That's our compatriots, aren't they? β
"No...... In fact, in previous years, if there was a major drought, the host family would go to the relief of the villagers, and we would lend them food to help them survive the disaster year, but this year is different, and I don't know why the host family will close the warehouse this year......
"Can't you call the shots?"
"Of course not." The housekeeper smiled bitterly, "Little Nigong, I am a subordinate of the master's family, although I am called a housekeeper, but I have no right to speak." β
"Humph!" Bai Lian snorted, she was a little unhappy, she didn't go to help the people in suffering, what other reason was there? No matter how you think about it, this family is just stingy, and there is no kindness at all!
In that case...... Then I'll help you!
Bai Lian's little eyes rolled, she held the bowl in her left hand, and her right hand reached behind her back, pinching the law, and in the next moment, the bowl in her hand flashed and changed.
"Uncle butler, you said before that we can fill a bowl of rice, right?"
"That's right." The butler was a little surprised.
"So, you go ahead and add it!"
There was no doubt about him, and the butler poured rice into the bowl spoonful by spoonful, and when it came to the tenth spoonful, the butler suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and the rice in the bag had gone by a third, but the small bowl in front of him was still as it had been at the beginning, with a little rice, but it was far from full.
"You ......" the butler was shocked and angry, and he stopped what he was doing and glared at the two little ones.
Bai Lian was not afraid at all, but Ming Lian hid behind her sister with some fear.
"What? Not only are you going to be stingy to the end, are you not even going to keep what you have said? Bai Lian squeezed.
The butler's face suddenly turned pale, and his words were a little unsmooth, "You guys...... This is a pit man...... I'm kind...... Who is stingy! How can you do that! β
"Then why can't you help the villagers?"
"How do I know that?"
"Hmph, anyway, I remember what you said, if you don't keep the oath you made, you will be punished."
"You...... You're trying to kill me! β
The housekeeper was a little anxious, he couldn't figure out the details of these two little girls, so he was a little afraid, but he couldn't continue to add rice to them, who knows how many meters the bottomless pit like bowl can hold?
Just when the housekeeper was in a dilemma, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the barn, "Who is making trouble in my house?" Dare to force my housekeeper to death? Who is so bold? β
The next moment, in the eyes of the three of them, a man with a big belly and luxuriously dressed walked into the barn.
As if he had found the backbone of the master, the housekeeper immediately stepped forward and told him what he had just done on his knees.
After hearing what happened, the man suddenly took a step forward, standing in front of Bai Lian and Ming Lian with great momentum, looking down at the two girls.
"I don't care what you two are doing, there are always some naΓ―ve guys in this world, who are self-righteous after listening to a few big words, I tell you, these rice belong to me, I can use it for whatever I like, I am not happy to help, that is, I am not happy to help, what does it have to do with you? Not only that, but since you don't like the kindness thrown out by my great butler, then it's a pity that you don't want to walk out of this courtyard unless you spit out all the rice you just took! β
Bai Lian frowned, she was angry, "I've never seen a cold guy like you, don't you have any compassion in your heart?" β
"I'd love to!" The man raised an eyebrow and said triumphantly.
"Good! No relief, right? Don't let us go, right? Hum! I don't think a lot of things are up to you! Bai Lian snorted coldly, threw the bowl in her hand into the air, and she pinched it again.
In the next moment, as if the sun was panicking, the bowl was suspended in the air, radiating a dazzling light.
The mana agitated, and the sound of shattering was accompanied by violent vibrations, and in vain, everyone felt obvious weightlessness.
The steward and the landlord looked in shock at the scene outside the barn gate.
The little bowl exerted its power and pulled the entire barn, including part of the ground, from the ground.
"Fly, fly......"
The man's voice lost all smugness, and only panic and fear remained.
