Jenna was sitting on the high wooden ladder, holding the scissors in her hand and cutting off ripe apples one by one, and dropped them onto the soft cushion below. Then a girl took them out and placed them in the fruit basket aside.
"There's another one over there, Jenna." Sophie pointed in a direction below.
"Okay." Jenna turned her head, pushed aside the branches and leaves, and looked for the light yellow apple hidden among them.
After two days of brief recovery, Jenna was able to get out of bed and walk around. Although one arm was not healed yet, the other arm could do a lot of things.
She didn't want to be too idle, but also wanted to do something to repay the Lake Chamber of Commerce for its help, so Sophie and she helped the villagers pick apples. The caravan couldn't stay too long, otherwise the fruits would be spoiled when shipped out, so the picking place
The manpower needed is also tight.
After discussing with the villagers, the caravan helped the villagers pick it to offset part of the purchase price. This is how this scene happened.
On a sunny day, the apple leaves are dense and slightly upturned, with a V-shaped cross section. Among the dark green leaves are conspicuous yellow fruits, and the branches with more fruits are even bent down.
Jenna held the iron scissors, reached into the thick branches and leaves, cut off the fruit stems, and let them fall one by one, and then Sophie put them away again.
After picking an area, she would come down, and then the two of them would work together to move the wooden ladder to another area to continue picking.
As the sun gradually rises and the weather gets hotter, she will wipe the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand when she is cutting off the fruit stems and picking them.
After picking another fruit tree, Sophie said from below.
"Let's take a rest, it's almost time for lunch."
"Um."
Jenna nodded, put down her aching arms, looked at the baskets full of yellow apples under the shade of the tree, and felt a touch of satisfaction in her heart. A breeze blew from a distance, taking away some sweat and making her feel a little bit satisfied.
Silk cool.
She slowly climbed down the ladder, and Sophie stepped forward, supported her a little and then helped dust her body.
"Are you tired?" the light brown and sunny girl asked.
"fine."
Jena felt it, and although her arms were a little sore, with the support of the war sequence, her physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary people, and with the assistance of magic power, it was not very uncomfortable.
"That's great. If it were me, after picking for an hour, I wouldn't be able to lift my hands." Sophie said with a little envy.
"Want to learn? I can teach you." Jina said with a smile. She has become more cheerful in the past two days.
"That will take a lot of time, and it will delay you."
"If it's something basic, it won't actually take long." Jenna shook her head.
"Thank you then." Sophie said happily.
"Haha, no need to thank you, I want to thank you instead."
The two girls rested under the apple tree and talked to each other about interesting things. Occasionally, they heard light laughter and dissipated in the breeze of green grass.

Ned County, the yard where Lorraine Hill lives.
"Sir Sage, shall we fly today?"
In the morning, as soon as Lorraine Hill woke up from her sleep, Mira opened the door excitedly and came in. Since getting to know each other these days, this rabbit-eared girl no longer regards herself as an outsider.
"Does Mira like flying airships?" The silver-haired girl sat up from the comfortable bed and rubbed her eyes.
"I like it very much, because I can see a lot of scenery I have never seen before, and the feeling of walking in the wind, I like it very, very much." Mira walked to Lorraine Hill's bedside in small steps, looking at it expectantly with her eyes.
she.
"Okay, okay, let's have something to eat before we set off. We'll just finish drawing the map today."
During this time, the two of them were driving the airship, Mira was at the controls, and Lorraine Hill was drawing the map of Ned County.
Maps are something that has a wide range of uses. They are very needed in development, construction, and military affairs. After re-engraving the airship, one day Lorraine Hill came up with the idea of drawing a map.
Now I have almost finished painting intermittently, but I didn't expect Mira to gradually like the feeling of flying at high altitudes. I originally wanted to scare her, but Lorraine Hill was a little unexpected.
But it has to be said that Mira is indeed talented in this area. Those long rabbit ears not only enhance her sense of space and control her balance easily, but also can keenly sense the direction of the breeze, allowing her to avoid and use high altitudes.
of airflow.
He is truly a born airship pilot.
After understanding the reason, Lorraine Hill had to sigh like this.
After eating a simple oatmeal breakfast, the two boarded the fat carp airship again. As the suspension device was activated, the airship rose precariously into the air, and then moved under the action of the sails and oars.
Under the clear blue sky, Lorraine Hill was sitting in the cabin wearing a white dress, overlooking the vast world below, her silver hair fluttering in the air, and the sound of wind whistling in her ears.
She took a silver needle pen and sketched briskly on the white paper printed with grids, and the peaks, roads, rivers, and villages appeared on the paper. When her white fingers fell on the paper, they were even whiter than the white paper.
point.
When people on the earth see this orange airship, some will stop and wave to it to express their admiration and surprise.
A river flows quietly in the mountains, reflecting the blue and white clouds of the sky like a smooth mirror.
The airship that Lorran Hill and Mira took passed several peaks and valleys, overlooking the scenery below.
"There seems to be a crowd gathering there."
Mira freed her hand to point to a place below. There was a mountain col, which looked like the entrance to a mine. At this time, many people were gathering, and some people were riding horses one after another from the mountain road in the distance.
Come.
"Let's go down." Lorraine Hill seemed to hear something.
"OK."
Mira nodded, gradually weakening the magic input of the suspension device, and the airship slowly landed in the open space beside it under its control.
The two opened the side door at the bottom and walked towards where the crowd gathered, and a burst of discussion came.
"What can we do? The underground monsters have collapsed the mine, and many people are still down there."
"Wait a minute, the alchemists from the association are coming soon, and it is said that they will also bring a few demon statues."
"Hey, the local alchemists are all half-baked and have average strength. Those rough golems may not be able to enter this deep underground tunnel."
“I finally found a rich mine, but I didn’t expect that problems would arise again soon.”
Mira led the way, and the girl followed. An officer on horseback saw Lorraine Hill in a white dress, and quickly asked a few of his men to clear a passage for him.
"Your Highness, Sage, you are here." He turned over and dismounted, stood at attention and saluted.
"Yes, let me take a look at the situation." The girl nodded, a faint light flashing in her eyes, and her keen perception spread down the mine.
