Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Facing Lu Yuan's politeness and enthusiasm.

to be frank.

Tallulah and Froststar were really not used to it.

Although this was only their second meeting and they didn't even know each other's names, this young agricultural scholar was not only not wary of anyone during their first visit, but also warmly welcomed them.

This made the three of them label Lu Yuan as enthusiastic and kind-hearted.

and...

Tallulah and Frost Star could not feel any power from Lu Yuan.

Especially Froststar.

She has an extremely high talent for Originium skills. Whether she is a magician or not, Frost Star can sense the fluctuations coming from different sources even if she doesn't fight with the opponent, just by feeling with her heart.

But Lu Yuan didn't have any of them on him.

He's just an ordinary person with no magical talent...

How dare an ordinary person drive here?

Still too brave.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Lu Yuan asked this question after sitting opposite him.

Froststar glanced at Tallulah, Tallulah glanced at Alina, and Alina glanced at Tallulah with a smile.

Tallulah smiled faintly and said.

"We had everyone eat the potatoes you sold us last night. They were absolutely delicious. To be honest, we've never eaten potatoes this delicious before."

"So, we wanted to ask, what kind of potato is this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so."

To be honest, Lu Yuan was quite happy to hear the other party's praise.

As an agricultural worker, the happiest thing is of course to hear people praise the deliciousness of the crops I grow.

"I bred this variety myself, and it's not available on the market today."

Lu Yuan told the truth.

When the three heard it, they were surprised to find that it was cultivated by Lu Yuan himself.

Everyone's eyes widened.

There was some admiration in his eyes.

I can actually grow potatoes like this myself!

This young agricultural scholar is so amazing?!

"However, theoretically, the taste should be exactly the same as ordinary potatoes. I think it's a problem with the cultivation. Regular farmers can't grow them as precisely as I do. Whether it's water or fertilizer, or other factors, even the slightest deviation will result in a significant difference in taste."

After hearing what Lu Yuan said.

Tallulah nodded slightly.

She was still thinking and hesitating about how to say it. It would be a bit presumptuous to speak rashly.

"Hello, my name is Tallulah, and this is Alina and Yelena. We came here to ask you for advice on how to grow potatoes. Our village is very remote, far from town, so we thought it would be great if we could grow them ourselves..."

Tallulah spoke quite sincerely.

Actually.

She didn't have high expectations when she said this. She came here rashly to ask about farming methods, and there was no benefit at all.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what skills you learn, a gift of apprenticeship is definitely required.

But... Talulah also wanted to, but they were really poor and couldn't afford any expensive gifts to become a disciple.

So I can only bite the bullet and give it a try.

really...

After he finished speaking, the three of them saw Lu Yuan fall silent, and the atmosphere in the car seemed to become a little awkward in an instant.

Froststar lowered her head.

Alina and Tallulah were too embarrassed to look Lu Yuan in the eye. After all... it was really awkward.

"that..."

Finally, Tallulah slowly stood up and said seriously, "I'm so sorry, we're very poor and don't have any expensive apprenticeship gifts. We just wanted to ask. I'm sorry, we'll leave now~"

After saying that, Tallulah and the other two stood up and prepared to leave.

suddenly.

Lu Yuan shouted.

"Wait a mininute."

"Of course I can teach others how to plant crops. As an agricultural scholar, teaching others how to farm is also one of my jobs."

"I was just thinking, I seem to have heard your name somewhere before, it seems a little familiar."

Lu Yuan asked Tallulah and the other two to sit down again.

"familiar?"

Tallulah was a little confused.

Ever since she killed Kosciuszko, she has been on the run. Not only has she never left Ursus, she has never even been to the southern part of Ursus.

How did he know his name?

Talulah suddenly became alert, including Frost Star beside her.

"I remembered that a close friend of mine once told me that she had a friend also named Tallulah."

call...

Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's quite a coincidence indeed."

"Indeed, the world is so big that there will be some duplicate names."

Tallulah suddenly realized something was wrong and spoke tentatively.

"You're not from Ursus, are you? Are you from Longmen?"

to be frank.

Apart from Ursus, Tallulah had only stayed in Lungmen when she was a child. When she thought about the fact that the young agricultural scholar in front of her was not from Ursus, some of the guesses in her heart made her heart beat fast.

"I am indeed from Longmen."

"!!!"

Tallulah was completely shocked.

"That friend of yours is!!"

When Lu Yuan saw Tallulah's expression, he guessed something.

It can't be such a coincidence, right? !

"Shi Huaiya, her current code name is Shi Huaiya, and her full name is Beatrix Shi Huaiya."

"!!!!!!"

Tallulah felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. When she heard this familiar name, her thoughts suddenly went back to many years ago, when she was still very young and still in Longmen.

"Beatrix!!"

"It seems I guessed right. You are Shi Huaiya and the others' childhood friend. So, you also know Yuxia and Chen Sir. Oh no, I should say Chen Huijie."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile. He never thought that when he came to Ursus for a stroll, he would actually find Shi Huaiya and her friends' childhood friend who had disappeared when they were young. And this friend actually turned out to be in the most remote northern tundra of Ursus.

If it weren't for luck

Even the most powerful intelligence network can’t find it.

Maybe this is fate.

After all, if he had not taken the initiative to ask Shi Huaiya about her past, he would not have known that they had a childhood friend named Tallulah. If he did not know the name Tallulah, even if he met her now, he would not recognize her at all and would only treat her as a stranger.

"Hui Jie..."

Tallulah lowered her head silently, and couldn't help but murmur this extremely important name buried deep in her heart.

Alina was listening nearby and naturally understood the whole story. She also happily patted Tallulah on the back.

"Little Tower! That's great!!"

Alina had naturally heard the name Chen Huijie from Tallulah, and knew that this girl was not only Tallulah's biological sister, but also her most important friend.

Alina was genuinely happy for Tallulah.

She didn't expect that she could get news about Xiaota's childhood friends here.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Yuan, from Dayan, temporarily living in Longmen. Huijie, Yuxia, and Shi Huaiya are all my friends. I think you should be the 'little tower' they mentioned. Nice to meet you. I didn't expect to see you here."

Although Tallulah and Chen Huijie were only childhood friends, their deep childhood friendship has not been erased by the passage of time. In fact, it has become increasingly clear with the hardships of life.

because.

After coming to Ursus, Talulah suffered almost every day and lived in fear almost every day, except for the few years when she first met Alina and the carefree time she spent with Huijie and others in Longmen.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Yuan! I would like to solemnly introduce myself to you, Mr. Lu Yuan. My name is Tallulah Atrias, Huijie's half-sister."

"Hello."

Lu Yuan took the initiative to shake hands with Tallulah, and then said, "I'm very familiar with Chen Sir, Shi Huaiya, Yuxia and the others, so I might as well call you Little Tallulah."

"As you wish!"

"Xiaota, when my work in Ursus is finished, why don't you leave here with me and return to Longmen? I think Huijie and the others will be very happy to see you back."

Faced with Lu Yuan's proposal, Tallulah refused without thinking.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm afraid I can't. If I were alone in Ursus, I might agree, but it's different now. I have companions and many compatriots around me. They all need me, so I can't leave, and I can't escape."

"Oh~~"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Are you worried about the Ursus Infected Patrol? After all, those following you, Xiaota, are all infected, and you yourself are also infected."

"How did you know?!!"

Tallulah, Alina, and Frost Star all widened their eyes and looked at Lu Yuan.

Theoretically, after covering up the Originium crystals on their bodies, the infected and the non-infected are indistinguishable. The only difference may be that the Originium fluctuations on the infected are more obvious, but these require special testers to measure at close range and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Why did Lu Yuan know it so clearly?

"I can tell."

Lu Yuan smiled.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had seen through it, Tallulah sighed heavily and did not choose to continue hiding anything, but told everything.

After all, since Lu Yuan could clearly say the names of Huijie, Shi Huaiya and Yuxia, and even their nicknames for himself, it said it all.

It was so long ago that even if the Ursus intelligence network was powerful, it would definitely not be able to investigate.

"Yes, I am an infected person... All my compatriots are infected people. After I escaped from Koschei, a few years later, I decided to organize a team of infected people and lead the infected people persecuted by Ursus to live a better life."

"However, you've already seen, Mr. Lu, our lives are terrible. Just to avoid capture by the Ursus Infected Patrol has already exhausted all our efforts, let alone other things. Moreover, in Ursus, we infected can only live in the marginal areas and abandoned areas. We can't enter the main city at all, and there is no way to enter the main urban area."

After listening to Tallulah's statement, Lu Yuan fell silent. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a soft "dong dong dong" sound.

After about two or three minutes of silence, Lu Yuan nodded: "I understand. However, can I write to Shi Huaiya, Yuxia and the others to let them know that you are safe? At least let them know that you are still alive."

Tallulah nodded. "Thank you."

"Then let's talk about what's going on between us."

"What's going on between us?"

Tallulah was stunned.
