The next morning, Rikka put on her mother-in-law mask and quietly walked out of the courtyard. However, the fruitless search was obviously not the best answer to the matter, so portraits of Rikka and Boom were plastered all over the streets.
"To paint someone and my brother so ugly? Are there no artists left in Ogu City?" Rikka muttered in a low voice, and then returned to the courtyard again.
At this time, Boom had already woken up. After taking two bottles of elven medicine, although his injuries were not healed, his life was finally saved.
"Ah! Brother, what are you doing up here? If you have something to do, just ask someone to take care of it." Seeing that Boom was about to get up, Rikka hurriedly put down the dinner plate and asked very worriedly.
"No... nothing's wrong, it's just that it still hurts a little. What's that?" Boom leaned on the bedside and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
The Empire's wanted order is a hunting document that can only be issued by the royal family. However, its effectiveness can only cover Aogu City. Whether other principalities recognize it is another matter.
Boom held the two wanted notices from the Empire, his eyes showing neither surprise nor panic. Because of their mother-in-law masks, he and Rikka had no fear of any search or prying eyes.
But this is not a long-term solution. If the two of them live in Augu City, they will inevitably be discovered one day. What's more, those professional experts and aliens may not have a way to break the mask of mother and son.
Thinking of this, Boom gently threw the imperial wanted notice in his hand into the fire. He has never been an indecisive person, and he has no nostalgia for the slums.
"Rikka, I would like to trouble you to go out today and purchase all the necessary daily necessities." Boom looked at the other party and said softly.
"Huh? Why? Could it be..." Liuhua was stunned when he heard this, but then he thought of something.
"We can't live here anymore, not even in the dense forest. Do you have a good place to go?" Boom asked with a frown. After all, Rikka has been wandering around Augu City a lot this year.
"Where to go...how about the garbage dump outside the east city gate? Or in the cellar of the small mountain village?" Rikka answered with her fingers and tilted her head.
"Go to the garbage dump. I'm sure those noble gentlemen won't take the risk of being contaminated by the stench." After Boom said this, he wanted to give a few more instructions, but suddenly he felt a sweet taste in his mouth.<
/p>
A violent coughing sound resounded in the room, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted out from Boom's mouth. Seeing this, Rikka hurriedly walked to the other party, but what caught his eye was the wound that burst open again in his abdomen.
The gauze was peeled off from the skin, and Rikka silently pushed Bum down on the bed. After bandaging him again, he walked away.
Boom looked at the ceiling, and then drank a small bottle of poison, forcing himself to fall into a coma. Because only in this way, the wounds on his body would not open again.
Rikka, on the other hand, had already put on her mother-in-law mask, still carrying the small bamboo basket, walking on the street like an idler.
Although there is a lot of food stored in the dimensional space, those things can only be used as food to satisfy hunger. If there is a second choice, Rikka will never give it to Boom.
Moreover, Boom's current situation is very dangerous, and she has learned knowledge about medicinal diet, so although there is plenty of food, she cannot eat it.
"Boss, how do you sell all this beef?" Liuhua stood in front of the meat stall, her face instantly changed into the innocent little girl she used to be.
"Bring me two ducks, and by the way, three old hens." Rikka had five more hemp ropes in his hand, and the two-legged beasts he bought were tied to the other end.
"Shiitake mushrooms, fungus, seaweed, bacon, five packs of each." Liuhua had no free hands at this time, so she had to return to the courtyard, put the things into the dimensional space, and tied the five chickens and ducks to the door. "Hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, remember to pack them separately, don't mix them together." Liuhua came to the market area for the second time and started shopping again.
"Plumbs, radishes, dried bracken, day lilies, I'm a regular customer, don't give me those junk goods." Liuhua took out a dozen silver coins and handed them to the other party with a smile.
"Apples, pears, and jujubes all have to be the freshest. It doesn't matter if they are raw." Liuhua returned to the courtyard for the second time and finally purchased the daily food.
Creak! She quietly opened the door, and Boom, who was once as alert as a fox, was still sleeping.
Rikka bit her lip and leaned against the door blankly. It was already afternoon, and the last place she wanted to go was the elf shop in the Secret Magic Market.
The previously prepared healing herbs have already consumed all of Rikka's inventory. But looking at Boom's condition, it will probably take some time to recover.
Pulling up her gray linen hood, Rikka walked out of the courtyard for the third time. Not long after, she stood in the elf shop, and the person who received her was still the same maid from before.
"Little girl, are you here again? Could it be that the healing medicine has been used up?" the elf maid asked in surprise.
The other party may not know, but she knows it all too well. Those three bottles of potion are top-notch even in the Shimmer Forest. Did this little girl drink it as cold water?
"I want to buy some herbs. I wonder if you have any here. Today is not a trading day in the market area and the caravan has not arrived yet." Liuhua replied softly.
"Well, wait for me. You are the first to sell herbs in Aogu City." After saying this, the elf maid got up and walked towards the inner courtyard with a smile.
A moment later, the elf maid returned again holding a huge silver plate. Rikka's little nose twitched slightly, and then she showed a smile.
Twenty gold coins were taken away by the other party, and Rikka got up and left, ending a whole day of shopping.
Today she was in no mood to visit her favorite pastry shop, and she had no intention of drinking to drown her sorrows. Although it was still early, Boom needed someone to cook, and it was time to change her dressing.
"What does it smell like? Is it herbs?" Boom asked with some embarrassment, looking at Rikka who was busy in the room.
"Yes, I bought them all for my stinky brother. Don't talk to me. I'm busy!" Rikka replied while putting her personal belongings into the dimensional space.
Boom sighed and thought to himself: This brother is really a failure. Not only is he lying on the bed like a useless person, but his sister, who has always been obedient, has also lost his temper.
"Open your mouth! Ah!" Rikka picked up a piece of beef and slapped it on Boom's face.
"I'm not dead yet. I can eat by myself." Boom took the tableware and replied in a dumbfounded voice.
"By the way, we have one more thing to do tonight, which is to destroy the secret passage connecting the wooden houses opposite." Boom took a sip of vegetable soup and said calmly.
"We? Do we mean you, brother?" Rikka chuckled, her eyes full of flattery.
That night, under Boom's guidance, Rikka quietly destroyed the secret passage. Boom returned to the wooden house again and erased the last trace.
