Chapter 354 353. Promise [Two-in-one chapter]
Huaiyu denied it, and Baiyu became even angrier!
How much suffering they had endured along the way! They couldn't even speak of it, or they would be laughed to death!
And what about Huaiyu in front of him?
Listening to what she said, every word seemed to be correct. It was just an unintentional act of the little girl - can you blame her for giving the gray magpie a ball of tinfoil?
Who knew that Crystal Palace was getting old and wanted to change the building materials? !
Can you blame people for kowtowing to the chestnut tree in their hearts?
She was just thinking about it in her mind. Is it a sin to think about it? Is it not okay to think about it? When she was Huaiyu's age, she was an adult and still fantasized about being an alien princess!
The chestnut tree itself doesn't like them, so who else can it turn to?
They even planted such beautiful sunflowers along the road!
Her wood ability is so weak, it must have taken a lot of effort, at least half the night to produce such a strong sunflower, right?
where are they!
We cut and dug along the way, it's embarrassing enough to tell others about it.
People planted road signs for themselves to see the way, not for them to follow along! It was obvious that they were reluctant to leave the sunflowers, so they deliberately chose the same road.
They had clearly refused several times at first, unwilling to go with the garrison, but in the end they were forced to stay together again because of my greed...
This is the truth. Huaiyu's attitude towards them is also quite good. He is willing to exchange any good ingredients, good things, and good treasures...
But whenever he thought of the hardships he had encountered along the way, Bai Yu's breathing immediately became heavy and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
At this moment, seeing Huaiyu refused to admit it, she immediately gestured: "A huge crab that is 8 meters long sneaked ashore from the big pond in the rest area of Area 9. Do you know that we almost had a fight?!"
Eight meters long?!
Huaiyu's mouth was about to drool: "Why did you guys have to encounter this?"
She was so greedy: "Is it male or female? Did you roast it directly under the crab shell? If it's eight meters long, wouldn't everyone be able to just open the lid and scoop out the crab roe with a spoon?"
Uh...
She also wants to eat hairy crabs!
Listen, is this human language? ! Bai Yu was furious: "There is not only food in the wilderness!"
Huaiyu nodded, feeling a little depressed: "I know, some of them are also inedible. No wonder you don't want fish or chestnuts, it turns out there are 8-meter crabs that can be eaten..."
She looked at the pile of small potatoes whose thin skins she was about to mash, and it seemed that even the big pheasant was not that delicious.
Bai Yu: ...
"Anyway," she took a deep breath, "the big crab means that you have caught all its fish, so it is coming to vent its anger on us."
She looked at Huaiyu's trunk and said, "Those fish were brought here from Yuntian Lake to be raised by him."
Huaiyu:? ! !
What an abstract breeding technique, but the chicks nearby were clucking, and it was obvious that they had laid eggs again - if you think about it carefully, raising chicks by the eldest and second chicks is also quite abstract.
She didn't deny the ownership of the fish, but said depressedly: "Why didn't it remind us? It didn't show up when we were catching fish. I thought no one wanted it!"
"Brother Zhou Qian and I specially picked these good fish! The mutation value is very low."
Anyway, the fish has been dried, so she has the final say on whether the initial mutation value is high or low.
Bai Yu didn't disbelieve it. She thought that Yuntian Lake was so big and had so much food, and the big crabs came to this small pond to raise fish. There must be something unique about it. Considering that the other party had a special liking for low-variance ingredients, maybe they really raised a lot of low-variance fish...
When you think about it this way, it makes sense!
All the good ingredients were picked up by Huaiyu and the others, so it was angry!
In short, due to the differences in species and language, their translators could not accurately restore each other's meaning, and the wonderful misunderstanding was confirmed by Huai Yujiu's one true lie and one false lie.
But these brother and sister really know how to eat!
Fruit trees with high mutation values will bear fruits with low mutation values. The meat of powerful mutant creatures will be delicious. Now they have chestnuts and pheasants. Who knows how delicious this meal will be!
Bai Yu couldn't help but let his thoughts wander. Finally, looking at Huai Yu's innocent face, he sighed. A breath was stuck in his chest, but he couldn't get it out after brewing for a long time. He could only say: "Forget it, you just follow us from now on. Be careful and everything should be fine."
As for the lease of a road car...
Huaiyu really didn't want to go with them! It was too much trouble! Playing dumb and lying were bothersome! More importantly, she wouldn't get any of the good stuff.
For example, there are so many persimmons on the persimmon tree in front, but she can only wait until the end and pick up two at random... What's the difference between this and entering a treasure mountain but coming back empty-handed?
So he still didn't give up and said, "Well, I'll mortgage our car to you, and share the chestnuts, melon seeds and fish with you. Can you rent a road car?"
Bai Yu remained unmoved.
Huaiyu thought about the atmosphere in the team before, and also thought about their attitude when they mentioned Wu Yue when they had contact with Fang Ze and Bai Yu before, so he tentatively whispered: "I really don't want to be with you... That General Wu, I feel he is too unlucky."
"I'm different. I'm famous for my good luck!"
I have to say, this sentence deeply touched Bai Yu.
Not only him, but everyone sitting nearby also nodded vigorously: That's right! It's just his bad luck!
but……
"No!" Bai Yu gritted his teeth and refused firmly: "You are going to the depths of the wilderness, and the probability of the car never coming back is too high."
"No, no!" Huaiyu shook his head quickly: "Our car is also very expensive! Brother Zhou Qian and I will give you all our savings as a deposit!"
"The most important thing is, even if we can't go back in the wilderness, you will have to explore deeper sooner or later. The car in the forest will at most be overturned by plants, or the outer shell will be damaged by animals fighting, but there will be no problem inside!"
"You can take it back when the time comes. It's worth it!"
She really wants to go their separate ways!
Seeing Huaiyu's earnest look, Bai Yu couldn't help but soften his heart again: "Are you really not afraid at all? The wilderness is so dangerous, why do you..."
Huaiyu thought for a moment and said half-truthfully, "Where is the danger?"
“……”The guards were breached again.
Huaiyu had already put her arms around Baiyu's waist and pleaded softly, "Sister, brother, sister, please!"
Zhou Qian watched silently from the side without interrupting, but at this moment he couldn't help but turn his head away: little liar.
When he first met Huaiyu late at night, the other party crawled out of the tunnel thin and weak, looking as if he had not eaten enough. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked pitiful and innocent when he spoke haltingly.
Later we got to know each other slowly and lived together. She looked like an innocent girl of seventeen or eighteen, and was quite cute when she wasn't doing anything naughty.
And then...
Zhou Qian glanced at Huai Yu, who was now 20 years old and looked full of energy, and thought that only mutant plants would fall for such half-hearted pretense of cuteness and begging.
Rely on Bai Yu? Tsk! He is a commander!
I've seen all kinds of tricks, how could I be fooled by your appearance?
"Okay." Bai Yu sighed helplessly, but two blushes appeared on his cheeks.
Zhou Qian: ? ? !
Is this the level of determination you garrison soldiers have?!
How could he, a rough old man, know that sometimes it's just that girls acting coquettishly towards other girls that one can't resist at all!
Zhou Qian felt that Huaiyu was pretending to be silly and cute, but in fact he was malicious and narrow-minded.
But Bai Yu felt that this was the innocent sister that Zhou Qian had taken care of. She was simple, innocent, and lucky. How could she bear to blame her any more? Xiao Yu was so honest that she couldn't even bargain! If she wanted to rent a car, she would raise the price again and again. I'm afraid her family would be exhausted.
Not only her, but the guards behind her had no other opinions. It was obvious that they had been suffering from bad luck during this period, and they couldn't refuse a lucky and sweet girl when they met her.
Regardless of whether what the other party said makes sense or not, there is one sentence that is deeply rooted in people's hearts -
They really didn't want to travel with General Wu!
If there is a chance, could the general be asked to explore the wilderness on his own?
"But," Bai Yu agreed, but she still felt that Zhou Qian protected and doted on her too well, so that he still couldn't have a clear understanding of the dangers of the wasteland.
Thinking of this, she glared at Zhou Qian again: If this brother was not so doting, he should have refused when Huaiyu started to act coquettishly and make requests!
Zhou Qian was stared at for no apparent reason: …???
So she added firmly: "Now you drive your car and follow the convoy. After exploring this area, if you are still determined to go deeper, then I can't stop you. I will rent you the pioneer car when the time comes."
"But I hope you can drive it to the base to find me smoothly, instead of staying in silence in the wasteland from now on."
Although she still had to travel with the unlucky Wu Yue, Huaiyu knew that such an expensive car was in short supply, and it was unprecedented that the other party was willing to rent it to her!
She must show some strength for this!
At this moment, I hurried to the back of the car and saw that Dapang and Ketaro were huddled there obediently, not moving at all along with Da Zi and Er Zi. So I didn't dare to make a sound, but quickly poured out a pot of osmanthus balls from the box:
"Sister Baiyu, deposit!"
She explained: "This is a unique secret recipe. It is very difficult to make!"
Bai Yu nodded: "I know."
Otherwise it wouldn't be so powerful, right?
She suggested: "If you are willing to trade the formula, the road-racing car can be given to you directly."
Huaiyu shook his head: "No, no, I don't sell the formula."
This is also normal. Many people want to have a monopoly on a skill to make a living for their descendants. Bai Yu did not force it. He just carefully asked someone to pack the osmanthus balls in the cheap stainless steel basin and then pointed to the boiling pot in front of him:
"Hurry up and cook. In half an hour, we will start the road advance."
"Ok!"
Huaiyu quickly took out another small pot to cook rice. Other good things always have their reasons, except rice. So she bit the bullet and didn't dare to clean it too clean: "Sister Baiyu, is your multi-dimensional special nutrition meal delicious?"
She said with longing: "You even brought all the seasonings, it must be really delicious!"
Bai Yu looked away guiltily.
However, Huaiyu did not want to miss this good opportunity to get closer to her, and asked enthusiastically: "I will put some potatoes in this big pot of chestnut stewed chicken. It will be a big pot. Do you want to try it together?"
"Brother Fangze has filled some water for me. Sister Baiyu, you are so kind... Can we eat some more together?"
When asking this question, Huaiyu actually didn't hold out much hope. After all, in her imagination, that nutritious meal was comparable to a luxurious Manchu Han banquet.
But unexpectedly, as the lard in the other pot melted and the strong aroma spread out in all directions, the two invited people nodded without hesitation:
"Okay then! Let's eat some too!"
Huaiyu: ...
She looked down at the pot again, and quickly added a large bowl of rice into it.
Then I looked at the spices that had just been stir-fried for chicken on the other side and silently decided to add another ladle of water later.
There was no room for private conversation here. Zhou Qian listened to the entire conversation and finally endured it. While Bai Yu and Fang Ze were cleaning up the dishes, he gave Huai Yu a thumbs up:
"It has to be you!"
When it comes to fooling people, he is no match for the little liar.
Not even the commander in front of him.
Zhou Qian stared at Huaiyu, who was cooking seriously, with a fair face and looked innocent and harmless, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How do you act so harmless?"
It's just like a bunch of small wild flowers and roses that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Because of her height, dense vines, sharp thorns and beautiful flowers, as a little rose, she is neither so weak that she can be trampled at will, nor does she make people feel threatened. On the contrary, she is easily loved because of her innocent and beautiful appearance...
Zhou Qian came back to his senses and found that such a sour metaphor had emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but shook his head quickly:
Forget it, forget it. With the Rose Corridor here, the entire Flower City no longer needs to be compared to the innocent and pitiful little rose.
What's more, the Huaiyu in front of her was not a little rose at all. She was clearly a petty person who could coax and deceive.
Huaiyu was stunned by this question: "Haven't I always been like this?"
Zhou Qian thought about it and suddenly laughed: "That's right, from the time we met until now, you have only revealed your true colors and have not really disguised yourself."
Playing dumb doesn't count.
The strange conversation between the brother and sister did not arouse Bai Yu's curiosity. She just came over again after a while and handed over a notebook:
"What does the ice sculpture General Lin left for you look like? Is it really amazing?"
It’s so troublesome. After I got super powers, I feel like I can’t even say bad things about others behind their backs.
Huaiyu added water to the pot and took the notebook:
"It's a very beautiful hollow ice sculpture. Below it is a crystal clear ice sculpture base, and on top is a sentence condensed with ice and snow. It says: 'Thank you for your rose.'"
That sounds so romantic.
but……
Bai Yu reacted: "Rose? What rose? Why should he thank you for your rose?"
Update 1+2. I have written too much and it is difficult to separate them into chapters, so I will post them together.
good night.
