Chapter 204 Crayfish
"Mom, Mom! Look!"
The boy ran back home happily, carrying a basket full of figs. He used both hands to work hard, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his face, as he showed his harvest to his mother.
"Well done, Jenny." Mary quickly took the heavy basket. It was the fig harvest season, and the fruits inside were all round and full.
Lilith said she wanted fig jam, so her son Jenny volunteered to take on the task of collecting the ingredients.
"Where's Sister Lilith?" Jenny listened carefully and heard the silence in the house, and knew that she was definitely not at home.
"Not long after you left, she also went to the river with her basket." Mary soaked all the figs in a huge basin of water, ready to wash them later.
Jenny was a little annoyed, "She didn't take me with her!"
"You can't keep up with her running and she starts crying. I don't like to take care of you either." Mary rolled her eyes at her son and drove him out like a chicken. "Go, call her back for dinner!"
Only then did Jenny go out with a pout.
But not long after he left, a group of unfamiliar guests arrived at the Shelley estate.
……
Lilith was wearing the simplest undyed linen skirt, sitting under a tree, looking at the drawings in her hands. She had already selected a site for Shelley Middle School these days, and construction would begin soon.
By the river, a bunch of little kids were busy working.
When Lilith returned home this time, she suddenly discovered that there were many crayfish in the waters near Shelley Town. However, before her memory was awakened, she never thought that these horrible things could be eaten. When she came back this time, Lilith slapped her thigh in regret, thinking it was a waste of resources!
As lazy as she is, she doesn't even want to clean up after herself. So, as long as each of them has a cup of iced milk tea, the idle kids in the summer vacation will honestly brush her crayfish for an afternoon.
Lilith just needs to wait on the side.
"Sister Lilith!" Jenny came over, "Mom is calling you to come home for dinner!"
"Got it!" Lilith put away the drawings and documents in her hand, and the little kids immediately lined up with the fruits of their labor to exchange for milk tea from her.
Today, not only did each person receive a cup of iced milk tea, but they also received a few extra candies. The children said goodbye to this generous and beautiful hostess with happy faces.
Lilith looked at Jenny who was pouting beside her and stuffed a cup into his mouth. "Drink it before you get home, or your mother will say that I fed you all that crap."
Only then did Jenny smile happily, holding the drink in his hands and savoring it in small sips.
Lilith picked up two large baskets of crayfish and chatted with Jenny. She had gone to the river to catch shrimp cages before, and her skirt was wet. She took off her shoes and walked barefoot on the ground, which was covered in mud.
In the past, Mary would have gone crazy seeing her so slovenly, but now that Lilith said that all magicians were so careless, Mary could do nothing about it.
But lies will always be exposed...
Lilith had just walked home with Jenny, chatting and laughing, when they heard lively laughter coming from inside.
"Are there guests at home?" Lilith asked Jenny, but little Jenny also looked confused.
She pushed open the gate and first saw several boys and girls standing around the gargoyle and observing closely. Whether it was the magician or the guardian chatting and laughing beside them, they were all neatly dressed and very neat.
So when Mary saw her coming home like this, her face immediately turned dark.
"What is going on?" Lilith was shocked.
Lulu, Hannah, Ian, Bobby, and some seniors in the back actually showed up at her house at this time? !
……
Today's dinner was so sumptuous that the restaurant couldn't accommodate everyone, so Lilith decided to move the dining table outside and add another table, which was barely enough for all the students to sit together.
"Is this a specialty of Shelley Town? It's so delicious!" Lulu didn't care that her hands were covered in oil from eating crayfish, "Luckily Sean didn't come, otherwise who would have snatched it from him!"
Mary watched them happily eating those ugly things from the river, and she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She glared at Lilith - how could they serve these to guests! !
"That's right! This is a delicacy that can only be made with Shelley's wine!" Lilith introduced it to everyone shamelessly, despite Mary's death ray. "But how did you get here by chance?"
"What a coincidence, Lilith. We came here specially because we saw the Shelley Winery logo." The smart girl with two daggers on her back said with a smile. "You are a major sponsor of our competition, so you must be impressed."
Lilith turned her head and recognized the person at a glance. She was also impressed by this senior schoolmate. Her name was Joan. She was a guardian who had left a deep impression on her during the first game of the College Cup.
"I'm really flattered..." Lilith was still a little surprised, and then she couldn't help asking, "But, didn't everyone go this year..."
"Oh, don't mention it." Upon hearing this, Qiong's magician partner, Jaslin, put down the crayfish and complained to Lilith, "I told you that the rumor about Intina County was unreliable, but she still insisted on going..."
"You are obviously moved too! Now you blame me!" Qiong said unconvinced.
"Did you also go to the Jangrod Bridge in Intina County?" Lilith raised her voice.
"You've heard about it too, right? I heard that the Falling Star Lily of the Valley is the sacred flower of the elves and is loved by them. If there is such an opportunity, of course I want to see it too." Qiong said confidently.
"It's really a lie, right?" Lilith understood. She looked at her classmates, and Lulu Hannah looked away guiltily.
Joan curled her lips and then sighed, "That's right, there is nothing. We asked the locals, but they insisted that there used to be a large area of flowers blooming there. They even showed us their collection of dried flowers."
Lilith: What a complete chain of deception...
But Qiong thought of something and suddenly stopped being angry. "Humph, anyway, we are not the only ones who were deceived. On the way there, we encountered waves of God's Chosen Ones and Knights of Light. Haha, they were fooled too!"
Lilith was amused by Qiong's quirky appearance, but...
"Sean looks very disappointed. Has he gone back?" Lilith asked about the classmate who left the team.
"Yeah, he even told us not to tell you, for fear that you would laugh at him. How could he hide something like this from you? You would know about it when school starts." Lulu sold out Sean without hesitation.
"So you came here specially to see me?" Lilith smiled, looking happy.
"Hehe...that's not the case." Lulu felt a little embarrassed and looked at Senior Sister Qiong, and Lilith also looked over there.
Joan's eyes sparkled, as if she knew a great secret. "On our way back, we learned another piece of big news!"
"Traces of a dragon appeared near Fort Luwas, not far from here!"
"Clang-crack-"
Lilith smashed the silver spoon in her hand into the plate.
"What did you say?" Lilith asked in shock.
