"Is this the food you eat?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.
"Is there any problem?" Huang Dong had a look of doubt on his face.
After some exchanges, Zhao Yuan learned that the food in this city of exile was extremely poor. Except for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and children, no one could get free food. It was said that there were often cases of adult teenagers who could not survive and starved to death.
.
In addition to filling the stomach, green food is scarce. However, the human body needs to absorb the nutrients of green plants, so this makes green food extremely rare and expensive.
The plants in the City of Exile are divided into edible and inedible. Usually, the green plants in the streets and parks are to improve oxygen, and some edible plants are controlled by some big families and rich people. If you want to eat them, just eat them.
You have to spend money to buy it.
Of course, you can also eat green plants without spending money, such as the moss from the meteorite belt. However, compared with the delicious plants in the City of Exile, the moss from the meteorite belt is hard to swallow...
…
Zhao Yuan put a green leaf in his mouth and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The young leaves are sweet and delicious, filling the mouth with fragrance, which makes people have endless aftertaste. The limbs and bones seem to be surging with unknown power, making him feel refreshed.
This young leaf is extraordinary!
No wonder those herbivores risk their lives to eat plants in the City of Exile every ten years!
It was the first time for Zhao Yuan to eat such delicious food. Without any courtesy, he opened his mouth from left to right and put all the young leaves into his mouth. He was still not satisfied.
"..." Huang Dong looked at Zhao Yuan with a blank expression.
"Ahem...sorry..."
"This is my family's inventory." Huang Dong was on the verge of crying and wanted to die.
"..."
"My sister will beat me to death when she comes back."
"Then why did you bring them all out?" Looking at Huang Dong's expression of wanting to die, Zhao Yuan sweated on his forehead. He did not expect that a few leaves would make Huang Dong so sad.
"When our family eats, we always put leaves on the table and watch the food being served. I just eat a little bit when I can't bear it anymore... Wuwu..."
"Won't the young leaves wither?" Zhao Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"Won't."
"You can eat this meat."
"I can't eat..." Huang Dong looked at the empty plate.
"When they send money later, we can buy more leaves."
At this time, Zhao Yuan had already made up his mind to get more leaves and put them in the Sumeru Ring.
Zhao Yuan wanted to get more leaves, not only because the leaves were delicious, he guessed that the leaves should have some magical effects on strengthening the body. After eating a few leaves just now, he could clearly feel the surging energy in his limbs.
strength.
This leaf is anything but simple!
As Zhao Yuan guessed, leaves are indeed not simple, because the leaves in the City of Exile are the essence of plants. One leaf can block countless bryophytes. If you don't eat the leaves to replenish the nutrients the human body needs, then it will
This means that humans will eat moss all year round like herbivores to achieve nutritional balance.
"Do you think they will send money?"
"It doesn't matter, if they don't come we'll go find them."
"Ah... forget it..." Huang Dong was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly. He seemed to see a sea of blood covering the streets and alleys.
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Yuan asked with a frown.
"No... Anyway, you are very powerful. We will go hunting in the sea of clouds later. If we are lucky, hehe..."
"You are crazy, go hunting in the sea of clouds!"
A beautiful woman wearing a leather jacket and leather trousers walked in. The beauty's long hair was tied into a ponytail. A dagger hung on her slender white thighs. The scabbard of the dagger was also made of leather. It matched the leather jacket and leather trousers. Her whole person was dusty.
Yet he has a heroic appearance and is eye-catching.
"Sister, you're back!" Huang Dong stood up suddenly, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
"If I don't come back, you will go to heaven! Who is he?" The beauty walked into the house, put down her luggage and took off her leather dagger.
"I...a friend of mine..." Huang Dong hesitated.
"Oh, by the way, how's your recent harvest?" The beauty didn't seem to want to get acquainted with Zhao Yuan. She just glanced at him, then went into the bathroom to wash her face, and asked casually when she came out.
"No. Where is sister?"
"Nothing." The beauty sighed.
"Sister, don't worry..."
"It's okay. I almost caught a windbuck this time, but I was a bit unlucky and was snatched away by a ferocious dragon."
"Ah... sister met a ferocious dragon?" Huang Dong was shocked.
"What a fuss, am I back alive?" The beauty seemed to be hungry. She sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of meat and gently put it into her mouth. She chewed it slowly, closed her eyes slightly, and
The look of enjoyment on his face.
"Where is Qiong Ye?" The beauty suddenly found an empty plate and asked with a frown.
"All eaten..." Huang Dong lowered his head, not daring to look into his sister's eyes.
"What, are you crazy? That's our nutritional supplement for a year!" The beauty was shocked and stood up suddenly.
"I...I..."
"I ate it." Zhao Yuan could only stand up bravely.
"What did you eat?!" The beauty looked at Zhao Yuan with an angry look.
"I will return it to you."
"Return!" The beauty snorted coldly and said nothing. She lowered her head and ate the food with a worried look on her face. Obviously, she did not expect Zhao Yuan to return Qiong Ye at all.
"Kitten, kitten..." Just when there was a moment of embarrassment in the room, a voice came from outside.
What surprised Zhao Yuan was that neither Huang Dong nor his sister said anything.
"Eh... Kitty, someone said you were back, eh... you are indeed back." A head poked through the door, it was a young man, tall and thin, dressed very plainly, and looking a little dull.
"Brother Xiaoping." Huang Dong called the tall and lanky young man. The tall and lanky young man just nodded without even looking at him. Instead, he looked at Huang Dong's sister, Mao Mao, infatuatedly.
"Hmm." The little cat didn't even raise his head, looking impatient.
"Kitten, how is the harvest this time?" The tall, thin young man stooped and walked in the door without knowing the current affairs, and asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Get out!" This young man couldn't help but pick up the pot. Sister Huang Dong was already upset because she didn't catch the prey. She suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and raised her head and shouted.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if we haven't caught any prey. No one has gained anything lately... Isn't this all caused by the sun! Not to mention us humans, just some ferocious beasts are all hungry... Eh... He
Who is it?" The tall and thin young man didn't feel ugly and kept nagging.
"My boyfriend!" Sister Huang Dong said angrily.
"Ah..." The tall and lanky young man suddenly turned pale, staring blankly at the handsome and handsome Zhao Yuan, at a loss.
"I'm not her boyfriend, I don't even know her name! Huang Dong, it's almost time, shall we go find them?" Zhao Yuan saw the tall and thin young man looking at him blankly, too lazy to go around. The water was immediately clarified, and Huang Dong was called out to collect debts.
"Really...really going?" Huang Dong was shocked.
"Go!" Zhao Yuan nodded affirmatively.
"What are you going to do?" Huang Dong's sister asked suspiciously.
"I...I...one of our beasts was snatched away..." Huang Dong hesitated.
"Mengyi! Who snatched it away?" Sister Huang Dong, who had just sat down, stood up again.
"Brother Zha and the others..."
"Damn you little bastard, you actually bullied you while I was not at home, let's see how I deal with them!" Huang Dong's sister angrily put on all her weapons and looked like she was going berserk.
Huang Dong naturally understood his sister's situation and knew that it was inevitable, so he stood up dejectedly.
Four people went out.
Along the way, the tall and thin young man nicknamed Xiaoping kept asking Zhao Yuan questions. After confirming that Zhao Yuan had just met the kitten for the first time today, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and became friendly and affectionate towards Zhao Yuan. a lot of.
Mao Mao walked alone with her head high and her chest held high to find Nazha Ge to punish her, while the three men were chatting behind her.
During the chat, Zhao Yuan finally understood the relationship between Xiaoping and Mao Mao.
It turns out that Xiaoping and Mao Mao have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they are considered to be a good match. Mao Mao does not hate Xiaoping, and occasionally cares about Xiaoping's life, and even helps him take care of the housework when Xiaoping goes hunting.
From Huang Dong's words, Zhao Yuan roughly guessed that the kitten actually liked Xiaoping very much, just because although Xiaoping was good at martial arts, his character was too cowardly, which made the kitten, who had high expectations for him, feel like iron could not make steel. Because of the pain, she maintained a distant relationship with Xiaoping from beginning to end...
