Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Here’s the reward. Take it.

A few days down the road, Lu Xiaoxian and Manda’s relationship is not bad, she knows where Manda lives, sometimes Hou will bring bananas and rice and vegetables to visit, cook and eat with them, play with Manda’s little daughter.

Manda gradually took her as a friend and took care of her, and on this day asked Lu Xiaoxian to go with her to another place to change tags, where there was a big lake, and if she was lucky, she could catch fish and pick some fresh fruits to come back as food.

When Lu Xiaoxian heard this, she was naturally happy, it was better to be able to go somewhere else to have a look than to be stuck here, and she might even be able to find a chance to escape.

Manda’s youngest daughter also went along, she did not even have shoes, playing a pair of bare feet in the forest running happily, Lu Xiaoxian looked at her, as if she saw her own small time. Only she did not dare to run in the mountains and forests during the day, if other children saw her, they would bully her, but at night, she could run all the way home from her mother’s grave.

The place Manda took her to was quite far, Lu Xiaoxian silently memorized in her mind all the way to the extremely complicated diverging paths she passed along the way. It took almost two hours of walking to reach her destination, which was relatively open and sunny, and apart from a small piece of rubber forest, there were also some fruit trees, with mango and banana trees in the majority.

Lu Xiaoxian saw the big lake that Manda said, it is really quite big, the lake surface sparkling, like a layer of broken gold.

Manda puts fragrant rice in a bamboo basket with long branches tied to it, one end of which is secured to the shore, while the other end of the bamboo piper reaches out into the lake.

Lu Xiaoxian saw such a fishing method for the first time, it was very fresh, and asked Manda, “Will this do?”

Manda smiled and nodded, “Come back when you’re done and see, if you’re lucky you’ll have it, if you’re not, you won’t.”

She divided half of the tags between Lu Xiaoxian and told her to stick them to the rubber trees, and took her youngest daughter to another part of the forest to change the tags.

Waiting for Manda to leave, Lu Xiaoxian took the labels and went into the rubber forest, she has always been conscientious and responsible, meticulously covering the new labels on top of the old ones, and pasting each one properly. After doing more, she naturally became skillful, and it didn’t take long for her to finish everything.

Finished work, she ran to the lake to see the bamboo basket, but it seems that there is no movement, so they walked around to see, around the other end of the lake, she saw a small bamboo hut, which also rests on the bamboo collapse, presumably for passers-by to rest with. She went in to sit for a while, the bamboo collapse is a little hot, although the lake breeze, but the wind is also hot, does not make people feel comfortable.

Lu Xiaoxian then came out of the bamboo hut again and headed up a small hill, where there were some small rubber trees, neatly planned, and she was weaving in and out of them, when she suddenly realized that there was a person squatting under a tree in front of her, with his back to her, and a hat on his head, so that it was not easy to tell whether he was a man or a woman?

Encountering another person in such a remote place, Lu Xiaoxian was very happy and took a big stride to the front, probably because he heard the sound, the person looked back, but it was an old man. He had kind eyes and a white beard, when he saw Lu Xiaoxian, he smiled but did not stand up and asked in Chinese, “What are you doing here?”

Lu Xiaoxian said, “I’m doing something in the forest below, and I came up for a walk when I was done. Grandpa, what are you doing?”

The sound of a grandpa froze the old man for a moment as he filled a small bottle with soil from under the tree and stood up, “I’m looking for good cultivation soil.”

“Is it to cultivate rubber trees?”

“Yes, to cultivate rubber trees.”

“I assume you are an old expert on rubber trees?”

“You guessed right, I’ve been studying rubber trees for decades.” The old man smiled and asked her, “Are you new here?”

“I’ve only been here a few days and you’re the third person I’ve met.”

The old man nodded, “You’re the forest keeper, aren’t you?”

“Grandpa, your guess is right, I am the forest keeper,” Lu Xiaoxian was very happy to meet someone who could speak Chinese and was willing to chat with her, and kept asking, “Do you live here too? Do you live here too? Does your family live in the rubber plantation? It’s so big here, I always get lost and don’t know how to get out when I come in. Luckily, I have Mandar with me, her daughter is very cute, and her son is working in a food processing factory …”.

The old man smiled as he listened to her, but his afterglow looked her up and down.

Lu Xiaoxian spoke, but suddenly reached out and pulled the old man behind himself, flying up and kicking something off the ground. Then picked up a dead tree branch to stop in front of him.

The old man had seen clearly by this time that there was a snake on the ground, the thickness of a thumb, holding its flat head and spitting out a thin tongue, looking at them intently.

Lu Xiaoxian whispered to the old man, “Grandpa, I’ll stop, you go.”

The old man was a little surprised, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“No fear, there were snakes where I lived when I was a kid, and if I accidentally came across one, I took a stick and chased them away.”

The snake kept shaking its head as if trying to find the right opportunity to attack.

Lu Xiaoxian urged the old man in a low voice, “Grandpa, hurry up, it looks fierce, it’s going to jump up and bite.” She was a little nervous and swung the branch towards the snake a few times to drive it away, the snake dodged from side to side but didn’t back off, instead it looked for an opportunity to swim towards the front.

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly escorted the old man backward, but he heard the old man say, “This is a cobra, very powerful, one bite is enough to kill a person, aren’t you afraid?”

Lu Xiaoxian was simply furious and yelled, “Knowing that it’s so powerful, why don’t you run? Hurry up and run, run away one by one.”

“What do you do?”

“You’re an old man, you’re slow, but I’m fast, so you run first, hurry up, I’ll break off, hurry up.”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and really ran towards the bottom of the hill, the snake looked more vicious once it saw someone running, shaking its head and attacking towards Lu Xiaoxian, who took a branch to stop it while shouting, “Run farther away, run farther away again!”

The snake suddenly jumped up, straight to Lu Xiaoxian pounced, Lu Xiaoxian is also considered to be in danger, not dodge, swinging a branch to meet up, picking the snake body a fling, it will be thrown away two meters away, but the snake is very powerful, just landed and then counter-attacked, shaking a small triangular head ferociously biting at Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoxian quickly ran, she was afraid that the old man did not run far away, did not dare to run down the hillside, but the snake and the trees in circles, although she ran fast, but apparently the snake is more energetic. Circle, although she ran fast, but obviously the snake’s energy is more abundant, not long, Lu Xiaoxian panting, she thought so long, the old man should run far away, so she rushed toward the bottom of the slope, she intends to get the snake to the lake.

Just ran down the hill, heard a sound behind her, she looked back, it was that old man, he actually grabbed the snake, saw a flash of silver light, the snake’s head fell to the ground, Lu Xiaoxian stopped in her tracks, the whole person was horrified there, she couldn’t believe it, “Grandpa, you know how to catch snakes ah?”

“If you don’t have these two hands, how else can you walk in the forest?” The old man laughed, drew a plastic bag out of the bag he had with him, put the snake in it and handed it to her, “Take it back to make soup, it tastes very good.”

“It’s better for grandpa to keep it for himself.” Lu Xiaoxian pointed to the big lake, “Mandar is fishing with a bamboo basket, if we catch it, we’ll have fish soup for the night.”

The old man insisted on giving it to her, “You’re the bravest girl I’ve ever seen, here’s the reward, take it.”

Lu Xiaoxian couldn’t afford to brush off his good intentions, so she had to take it, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

“What is your name?” The old man asked her.

“My name is Lu Xiaoxian.”

The old man smiled and nodded, “Well, good name, I’ll keep it in mind. I’m going to check out the front, hopefully I’ll get a chance to see you again later.”

Lu Xiaoxian took the snake and waved while saying, “Bye Grandpa.”

The old man walked very fast, disappeared in the woods in the twinkling of an eye, Lu Xiaoxian was a little frustrated, a few days, it was not easy to meet a can talk freely, but it is a pity that the time together is too short, otherwise she really wanted to ask him how to get out of these woods?

When she went to the lake again, she was surprised to find that there were three not too small fish in the bamboo basket, fearing that the fish would escape back into the water again, she hurriedly unhooked the bamboo basket, and while she was busy, Manda came back with a little girl, and seeing her unhooking the fish basket, she asked, “Are there any fish?”

“There are three of them!” Lu Xiaoxian gestured, “Such a big one.”

The little girl jumped up and down with joy, “Oh, there will be fish for dinner! Fish for dinner!”

Lu Xiaoxian showed the snake to Mandar, “Not only fish, but also this, it’s delicious in soup!”

It seemed Manda knew it was a delicacy too, and her eyes widened in great surprise, “You caught it, huh?”

Lu Xiaoxian then told Mandala in detail what had just happened and asked her if she knew who the old man was.

Manda thought for a moment and said that the rubber plantation did have some technicians specializing in research, both old and young, and wondered which one she had come across?

In the evening, the three of them ate together in Mandar’s hut, with fish and snakes, and some fresh fruits picked along the way, it was the most sumptuous dinner Lu Xiaoxian had had since she entered the rubber plantation.

After eating, Lu Xiaoxian accompanied the little girl to play for a while, and then excused herself to go back, she had walked a few times, and was already quite familiar with it, and didn’t need to illuminate it, and by the faint moonlight in the forest, she walked leisurely towards her hut.

She preferred to walk around at night than during the day, and the breeze from the forest was soothing and soft on her face that it made her pores stretch.

Almost to the hut, she suddenly stood still, flashing behind a tree, and there was actually a light in her house? The glass window bore the figure of someone, a tall man!

Lu Xiao Xian was ecstatic, Lan Kai Ze had finally found her, he had come to her rescue!

She walked towards the hut in a hurry, her feet drove the dead tree branches on the ground, making a sizzling sound, the man in the house was like an agile panther, scurrying out of the house at once, but Lu Xiaoxian pounced on the ground and rolled towards a slope, the moment the man made a move, she recognized that it wasn’t Lan Kaiser, but an unfamiliar man who was full of danger!
