Inside the residence, Ye Yuyou and I looked at the dark food in front of us and couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.
"Is this...food?" I wasn't sure.
The rice-like grains in front of me are dark and hard. In addition to these grains, there are also some vegetables that look a little yellow. The only thing that is somewhat passable is maybe the fried meat with potatoes, but even so
, the meaty taste in potatoes is also pitiful.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao on the side swallowed his saliva and said: "Is this bad? To be honest, this is already considered a good meal in our base. Even I can hardly eat it."
"Then what do you usually eat?" I raised my eyebrows and asked.
As soon as she heard about food, Xiaoxiao suddenly became interested. She clapped her fingers and said, "There are many, such as the most common wild vegetables, protein blocks made from insects, loess cakes containing minerals, etc. Although the taste
It may not be that good in food, but the nutritional content is still quite high. We usually eat these, after all... supplies are somewhat scarce now."
I sighed, this is not a little lacking, it is quite lacking, okay? When I thought of this, I couldn't help but sympathize with Xiaoxiao and the others.
But then I thought about it, my situation is not much better now, and I don't have the mood to sympathize with others. Isn't this just taking carrots and worrying less.
With a bitter feeling, I took a few bites, and the taste was hard to describe. It was definitely not as delicious, but it was still more delicious than the loess cake that Xiaoxiao mentioned just now.
"Actually..." Seeing Xiaoxiao looking at us eagerly, Ye Yuyou couldn't help but suggest: "I can't eat anymore, do you want to eat with me?"
"Me too." I agreed.
In fact, we are not hungry at all. As practitioners, let alone a few meals, it is okay even if we do not eat for a week, and a week should be enough time to wait for rescue.
If we had not died in the hands of Black Yama.
"No, I have this." Xiaoxiao shook her head, took out a hard cake with an earthy smell from her pocket, and chewed it as if she were eating some delicacy.
Until Xiaoxiao finished eating the cake, I didn't even take a bite of food. Mainly because I really lost my appetite, so I changed the subject and said, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, didn't Uncle Yao just say that you found some of our friends?"
?, where are they?"
"I'm not sure. You have to ask Uncle Yao about this. He is the person in charge of this base." Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious. Maybe Uncle Yao will bring them over soon. Please wait patiently.
"
"Um."
While we were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon Uncle Yao pushed the door open, but he was not alone this time. He was supporting an old woman holding a cane. The old woman's face was covered with wrinkles.
He looks quite old.
"Grandma fortune-telling!?" As soon as she saw the person coming, Xiaoxiao stood up in confusion, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman with Uncle Yao. Her movements were quite gentle, and she looked completely different from when she used a knife to chop me.
.
Out of respect for our elders, Ye Yuyou and I stood up instinctively and said hello at the same time: "Hello, Granny Fortune Teller."
"Haha, you are such an energetic young man." The fortune teller showed a kind smile. She walked over slowly, took mine and Ye Yuyou's hands, and then gave us two golden eggs, which were almost as big as eggs.
Big and small, he said with a smile: "Eat this and replenish your body."
Seeing this, Ye Yuyou and I were both stunned, Xiaoxiao curled her lips jealously, and Uncle Yao said with a complicated expression: "Eat it, this is good stuff."
We are still aware of the goods. This thing that looks like an egg contains very powerful energy. At first glance, it is not an ordinary thing. At that moment, we thanked each other one after another.
"Thank you, fortune teller."
"The egg I gave you is a Daoyun egg. Eating it will help your Daoyun growth, but remember... you must eat it when you are in a stable state of mind, otherwise it will be a waste." The fortune teller instructed.
.
"Okay." We all nodded.
Daoyun Egg... It sounds so powerful. Will eating it help my growth? But... in this situation, my mood is definitely not stable. Obviously, I can't do it.
Eat Daoyun eggs at this time.
I glanced at Xiaoxiao next to me. At this moment, she was looking at us eagerly. Her little face, which was slightly yellow due to hunger, was full of envy. From her expression, it could be seen that the value of this egg was probably not low.
.
"Mother-in-law, why did you... give us such an expensive gift?" After accepting the Daoyun egg, I asked the doubts in my heart.
It's not that I have persecution delusions, it's mainly because I met the fortune teller for the first time, and she gave me this gift as soon as we met, which really confused me.
You know, the scarcity of supplies here has reached an outrageous level, so it can be imagined that this egg is a quite a big gift.
Is it possible that people in this world are so hospitable?
The fortune teller squinted her eyes and looked at us with a smile on her face, and said meaningfully: "You two contain unparalleled power and potential. Even I can't see through your destiny..."
"If a miracle can happen, it must be created by you, so...if you are capable, I hope you can help my children in the future, so that I will be satisfied."
What the fortune teller said made me a little confused.
Ye Yuyou's eyes flickered, as if she knew something. She frowned and asked, "I wonder if the fortune-teller can tell us how we can create the miracle you mentioned?"
"I don't know about this either. I can only glimpse some shadows of the future, but I can't see the whole picture... As for the rest of the way, you have to walk it yourself."
What the fortune teller said was still confusing. She didn't give us too much time to ask, but staggered out of the room.
"Sorry, I will bring your companions over later, so I'll excuse you for now." Uncle Yao smiled apologetically, then helped the fortune teller and left.
Looking at the two people leaving, Ye Yuyou and I both fell into deep thought.
