Chapter 284 (Catching Bugs)
Although the witch sister answered very firmly, Yunmian felt that besides trusting every word of her mother the most, she had to leave some room for other people's words.
So in order to avoid accidents, the next morning, the child climbed onto the wall and happily called out to the witch next door to get busy together.
"We are going to the market in town today. Sister, quickly pull out all the ripe lettuces in your garden. We will sell them together later and exchange them for copper coins to sell other things at the market."
Facing the rising sun, the elves are already busy in their own small garden.
Large green fresh lettuces with wet and cold soil were pulled out one by one and arranged neatly. Yun Mian's hands were stained with the juice of the lettuce leaves and the dirty mud, but she didn't care. Instead, she kept looking for gaps to lie on the wall to pay attention to the progress of the witch sister and little Laura next door in pulling the lettuces.
"We need to get this fresh lettuce to town before the sun comes up completely."
Under the astonished gaze of the witch sister, Yunmian spread her wings, stood on the wall with her hands on her hips, and waved her hands majestically: "Mom said that my method is called cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron. As long as we sell all the lettuces, even if the thief comes again, he will not be able to steal lettuce back!"
The elf was very proud of the idea he had come up with. His small body flew left and right, and finally landed on Little Laura's head. He imitated the system uncle and said seriously, "But we have other vegetable seeds and fruits in our garden. If the thief comes again, I think he might change his excuse. For example, if his pregnant wife can't eat beets or something else, she will be so uncomfortable that she will die?"
The adults in the two adjacent courtyards all laughed at the mischievousness in Little Mianhua's words. Yun Yejin waved Little Mianhua, who was bullying the child, to fly to his shoulder, touched her tender face, and said softly, "Don't squat on Little Lola's head, you are covered in mud."
Yunmian: “…”
The next second, as expected, the child turned around and hugged his mother very unwillingly, and smeared all the mud on his body onto his mother before raising his chin proudly.
"My mother and I are both dirty mud elves!" After saying that, he deliberately raised his dirty little hands and rubbed them on his mother's face twice more.
Seeing this scene, Yara and other guards froze for a moment. Before Her Majesty the Queen could react, Anriel picked up the troublemaker and quickly flew to the pond next to her to wash him.
After a morning of chaos, Yunmian turned into an elf and was tied to the eaves outside the carriage. She swayed weakly as the carriage moved forward, like a toy bird with its wings tied and no foothold.
The system recorded the host from all angles after the accident, and was contentedly harvested a lot of photos of Mianmian's dark history, including some dynamic pictures of the elves wandering around in despair.
This "torture" did not end until we arrived in the town.
Yun Mian squatted in the corner of the carriage with her hands folded in anger. She did not transform into a human cub, but folded her little wings and pretended to be a quiet and aggrieved little mushroom in the corner.
In fact, all the resentment in his body is almost enough to feed a demon.
Mom is really too much QAQ.
I'm already a very big elf this year. How can you still hang me on a carriage and swing me around like a bell?
And I'm a princess! If this gets reported back to Silver Moon Forest, will I lose face?!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Yunmian's cheeks were about to swell up like puffer fish.
Then it was poked lightly by Princess Yu Yu, and it couldn't hold it tight and deflated.
Yunmian: “…”
After everyone got off the carriage, Anriel held back her laughter and touched the wreath on the elf's head, coaxing her softly: "Little Cotton wants to sell those lettuces to buy other things, right? Stay in the carriage any longer, and those copper coins will be divided equally between Yara and the others. You didn't contribute, so you won't get a single copper."
The child, who was originally in a sad mood, was shocked by the desire for money and turned into a human baby in a panic. He opened the car curtain and jumped out without thinking.
It's just that the force of the jump was a little too great, his eyes blurred, and he accidentally hit a passerby head-on, and the two of them fell to the side of the carriage, one after the other.
Anriel, who came out a step later, said: "..."
She got out of the car and helped up the two little girls who had bumped into each other and were both wearing masks of pain. She first checked Xiao Mianhua's slightly red forehead and blew on it for her. Then she turned around to look at the other little girl who had her head completely lowered and was so silent that her presence was almost invisible.
Yunmian also recovered from the sudden pain. She realized that she had knocked someone down. She was about to apologize with guilt when she heard the system uncle squatting above her head say in a slightly strange tone: "Mianmian, congratulations, we have unlocked a new fairy tale character in advance: Cinderella."
Yun Mian paused from rubbing his head, raised his eyes and looked blankly at the young lady whom he had knocked down.
She was dressed very simply, with a few crude patches on her grey clothes. Moreover, the clothes did not seem to fit her and were a bit too small, as if her entire body was bound in this old, tight dress. When she hung her head stiffly and said nothing, the feeling of tightness and restraint became stronger.
She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, but she was very thin, and her silence with her head down made her look so cautious. When Yun Mian looked up, she could even see a lot of panic and anxiety in her blue eyes that could not be hidden in time.
The moment she saw Cinderella, the first thought that flashed through Yun Mian's mind was the hermit crab that she saw on the beach after being rescued from the sea by Princess Mermaid, which had forced itself into a shell that didn't belong to it.
The hermit crab and the inappropriate shell it chose are both gray.
"Did you get hurt? Are you injured? We have ointment in the carriage..."
Princess Yuyu's voice woke Yunmian from her daze.
The child blinked, looked up and apologized to Cinderella who was covering her arm: "Sister, I'm sorry, I got off the bus too hastily just now, I won't do it again next time."
After saying that, Yala, who was originally preparing to sell lettuce, came over. Seeing this situation, she handed over a bottle of ointment.
When Betty heard the child's tender apology, she raised her head slightly, took a small step back, shook her head and refused, "No, thank you."
She bowed her head slightly and wanted to leave.
No one stopped her. After her figure quickly disappeared among the passers-by, Yunmian sniffed like a puppy and turned to ask Princess Yuyu, Yara and other guards: "Did you smell the sweet scent of that sister just now?"
The guards and Anriel all nodded.
Anriel recalled and thought: "It is a very familiar and complex taste."
Yara said, "It's a bit strong, as if it was caused by being exposed to those smells for a long time, otherwise it would have been blown away by the morning breeze."
Several other elves expressed their opinions.
The system squatted on the host's head, looking at the progress bar that had reached 70% even though it had done nothing, and felt hesitant and had mixed feelings.
Yunmian thought hard and finally understood when she saw a mother on the street corner reaching out to take a freshly baked cookie from a merchant.
"I know!" The child clenched his fists and said, "It smells like delicious cake and food!"
After she made it clear, everyone suddenly understood.
"It seemed like, as she passed by me, I seemed to smell the sweet smell of grilled cheese."
"I smell fruit jam... That's too bad. I think I'm craving jam."
“Although the smell is complex, it is surprisingly pleasant.”
After listening to everyone's comments, Yunmian summarized them: "That sister smells so delicious!"
Everyone: “…”
If you have to say so, it seems to be correct?
At least after the little girl briefly stopped by them and then passed by, everyone's appetite seemed to be aroused.
I always feel that she exudes the fragrance of food, which is irresistible.
No wonder even though I didn’t even see what the girl looked like, I subconsciously felt that she was a little... friendly?
Yun Yejin came back with the freshly baked cookies, handed one portion to her daughter, and let the others share the rest. Then she asked them what had happened.
Yunmian held the hot and fragrant biscuits wrapped in leaves in her hands, and happily shared with her mother that she had just met a sister who smelled delicious.
"Mom, she is like a sweet little cake, like a sweet and sour berry, like so many delicious foods~"
Yunmian tried to describe it with her poor vocabulary, and finally she excitedly grabbed her mother's arm, looked up and said eagerly: "Mom, can I be good friends with that sister? That way, when she has something delicious to eat in the future, she will share a little with me~"
Everyone: “…”
system:"……"
One of Little Cotton's precious friend spots was locked away, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should feel helpless for the little girl who smelled so delicious.
Making a good friend for a bite of food is something that little cotton can do.
Yun Yejin pinched a small cookie and fed it to the elf with amazing mouthfuls. When she chewed with her cheeks puffed up, she said softly, "Little Cotton can make friends with anyone she wants. If she just wants to eat delicious cakes and jams, we can always eat the best delicacies on this continent."
While Yala and the others were listening in silence, Yunmian had already quickly realized what her mother said. She bent her bright eyes and nodded obediently, and promised softly, "I know, mom. I will sincerely make friends with that sister, even if she can't cook delicious food."
After getting the children's sincere and obedient promise, Yun Yejin let them go to the street to sell lettuce.
The lettuces from the two small gardens added up to a lot, and when the sun rose completely overhead, these fresh lettuces were finally sold out at a very low price.
She separated the money that belonged to the witch sister and put it away, and then divided the rest equally with the guards and Princess Yuyu. Finally, Yun Mian squatted in a corner of the street to avoid the sun, counting the twenty or so copper coins in her palm over and over again, while calculating in her mind how to spend the first money she had earned with great difficulty.
Finally, the child carefully put away the copper coins that were stained with various stains, and secretly decided to use the money to buy a small gift for his mother later.
After being in this world for so long, she has never given her mother a gift that required money!
Cotton Boy: (holding 20 copper coins and waving his paw) I'll pay for mom's entire meal!
The next chapter will also be updated at nine o'clock the next morning. I will try my best to adjust my work and rest schedule. I hope I can last a little longer this time.
