Chapter 73 White Bird Chapter 16: Scared of Hungry
The relationship between Baicheng and Heicun is getting better quickly, and the relationship between the two parties is beginning to flourish.
Although the people at the bottom said it was okay, Bai Yi at the top couldn't help but laugh.
Because he still hasn't found the white bird in the black village.
This happened to be the thing he cared about most at the moment.
——
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
In fact, the person on the other end of the phone is not a white bird at all?
Is all this just wishful thinking after losing my mind?
Bai Yi didn't know, but after thinking about it for a moment, there seemed to be some problems.
First, when the two of them are talking on the phone.
Bai Yi has been unilaterally proving his identity.
On the contrary, Shiratori seldom mentioned anything about herself and did not go out of her way to prove it.
Maybe the other party is really a brave man, but it may not be his sister.
But even so... the other party should know Shiratori.
Otherwise, she would not have chosen to reveal the key information about her [being hit by a truck] when she was on the phone.
Is it yes or no?
Bai Yiyi couldn't think clearly for a moment.
He just felt a little headache, and he couldn't even stand the documents in front of his desk.
——
“Dong dong dong!!!”
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Please come in!"
The next moment, Old John walked in with a smile on his face.
There was a tray in his hand, and inside was a plate of unknown black vegetables.
"Hey, City Lord, let me give you something to try." He brought it to Bai Yi.
"What's this?"
"Stir-fried grass, a new dish specially studied below, I would like to ask you about your eating habits."
"Why is it black?"
"This seems to be a characteristic of the ingredients. They change color after they are cooked."
Bai Yi picked up a piece and chewed it in his mouth. To be honest, it was not that bitter after it was cooked.
But it was still a bit unacceptable to him personally, to the extent that he could barely swallow it.
Seeing that Bai Yi had swallowed it, Old John said again:
"The kitchen said that if you want to get used to it, I'll make it for you every day."
"I can't get used to it. I can't stand this. If you like it, just make it yourself."
Bai Yi waved his hands repeatedly. When Old John saw this, he just sighed:
"Hey, is that really the case? Xiao Heizi said the same thing."
"Isn't there still food in the warehouse? Why did this happen suddenly?"
"This is actually what Kitchen Ayu meant. She was worried that you would not be able to eat fresh vegetables for a long time and that you would have health problems, so she came up with this idea.
To be honest, it’s Baicheng and Heicun now.
Most people still use this grass as their staple food, such as grass cakes and grass soup."
“Can such a bitter thing really be used as a staple food?”
"It's a bit bitter, but the nutrition is really good. Furthermore, before you came, City Lord, what were we eating here?
Soil, grass roots, bark.
No matter how unpalatable this herbivore is, can it be as unpalatable as those other things?
For people who are used to living a hard life, this tastes pretty good.”
"Then there's no need to use it as staple food. Didn't we just distribute 100 kilograms of food to everyone not long ago? Plus what we brought back from the front a few days ago, it should be enough to take care of us for several months."
"How else can we say that people are inherently mean?
In the past, I wanted to eat good food, but couldn't, so I could only chew tree bark.
Now I suddenly have good food, but I am reluctant to eat it.
In the final analysis, everyone is mainly afraid of being hungry, afraid that they will be gone after eating, and they feel insecure.
But this is human nature, and they can't blame them.
Presumably, when they have a job, a stable income and a better life in the future, these problems will be corrected."
After that, they chatted for a while, and then Old John said goodbye and left.
He tried to take the dish back.
But Bai Yi stopped him:
"Just put this here, just treat it as a snack. Although it doesn't taste very good, it seems to be quite refreshing."
Old John left, and Luya, who had been standing beside him for a long time, finally came over.
She stared at the plate of dishes for a long time, then pulled Bai Yi's sleeves and opened her mouth with an "ah".
Bai Yi knew that this was the goddess waiting for him to feed her. After all, the other party's IQ was problematic and she still couldn't hold chopsticks.
Bai Yi smiled bitterly, then skillfully picked up a chopstick and put it in the other person's mouth.
Luya chewed twice curiously, and then her expression became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she swallowed it with great difficulty.
"Do you want more?"
Bai Yi teased, and Lu Ya naturally shook her head with a look of resistance.
Bai Yiyi found it interesting because he couldn't help but think of the day when he and Luya first met.
I remember that Lu Ya relished chewing a piece of stinky rotten meat at that time, but now, she couldn't bear even a bite of bitter vegetables.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, which shows that Luya has been used to a good life during this period.
Bai Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with Luya's behavior, rather he was very proud.
After all, a goddess should have a son of a goddess.
The more Luya is like this, the more responsible she is as a high priest.
——
The opportunity to call once a day cannot be wasted.
In the afternoon, Bai Yi used [Mobile No. 1] to call the bird dealer.
First, I inquired about the prices for building city walls, hospitals, schools and other businesses.
Then I asked him if there was any way to make money. After all, my 500,000 loan had no way out.
In this regard, the bird dealer only said that he would pay attention and if there is any suitable and good business, he would be notified as soon as possible.
After finishing these conversations and seeing that there was still a lot of time left, Bai Yi talked about the phone call between himself and Bai Niao again, asking the bird dealer if he knew anything?
But the bird dealer said he knew nothing, leaving Bai Yi to pin his hopes on the next phone call.
——
The day passed quickly.
Like yesterday, Bai Yi had insomnia again.
He was lying on the bed, staring at the clock on the wall.
Finally, there was a ticking sound.
The time finally came to 0 o'clock the next day.
He subconsciously picked up cell phone No. 2.
Nothing has been done yet.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The crow's bell has already sounded.
Bai Yi quickly answered the call and put it to his ear, not waiting for him to test Bai Niao's identity.
"elder brother!"
The words "Brother" on the other end of the phone made his mind go blank for a while, and he suddenly lost the idea of testing the other party.
【She is my sister.】
Bai Yi didn't know why he was so sure, but he did think so at this time.
——
"Yes, I'm here." Bai said.
"I went to Baicheng in the early morning, but I didn't see you. I searched for you all day in Baicheng, but I couldn't get any information about you. Have you changed your name?"
"Well, I changed it to [Doctor of Death], but I stayed in Baicheng the whole afternoon. If you really spent the whole day looking for it, there is no way I wouldn't know."
As he spoke, he described the situation on his side:
"I have been waiting for you at the city gate since the call ended until five o'clock in the morning, but there has been no news from you. Later, I went to Heicun to inquire, but no one has heard of you."
"If this is really the case, this would be too strange..."
"Did you change your name too?"
"No, the original name I have always used in this world has never been changed.".
