Chapter 18 Blessed Land
Although Luo Qing knew she was joking, he was in a bad mood and said, "Stop! Let's go buy some natural food first. I'll cook for you when we get back."
"That's wonderful!"
This made Yu Mu happy and he almost hummed a song.
Coming to this world, I can finally eat white rice!
The two entered the vegetable market. There were a lot of natural foods here. Many of them were picked by people from the wild. The prices were higher because this kind of food had more spiritual energy than artificially cultivated food and was good for the body.
So the two of them specifically looked for wild vegetables to buy.
Seeing a woman in her thirties with a lot of things in front of her stall, Luo Qing stopped and said, "Weigh me three pounds of rice, five heads of cabbage, three cucumbers, five pounds of bear meat, and two pounds of pheasant eggs."
"Okay."
This is big business.
After buying almost half of the things on the woman's stall, the woman hurriedly and enthusiastically gave the things to Luo Qing. In the end, it cost nearly five hundred silver coins.
“So expensive!”
Yu Mu was shocked.
"Yes, but there's nothing we can do. The energy we psychics need cannot be supplied by ordinary nutrient solution."
"Oh, you are a person with super powers. Have you heard of the giant food monster?" The busy woman looked at Luo Qing a few more times and spoke with a smile when she heard that Luo Qing was a person with super powers.
"What happened to the Big Eater?"
Luo Qing asked vigilantly.
Now the big food monster has been injured by him, but not killed. He still has to kill it, so he is naturally very concerned when he hears this.
"I heard there's more than one giant monster. The one we know of isn't a guardian beast at all. The real guardian beast has been moved."
The woman's voice trailed off.
It seems mysterious.
"Why do you say that? Then where did the real giant monster move to? How do you know?"
Luo Qing asked, while recalling what happened when he fought with Behemoth yesterday. There was nothing unusual about Behemoth, just as he knew from the school materials. He didn't know why the woman said that.
"That's right."
The woman described the situation vividly, "Yesterday, a group went collecting and discovered a cave. They thought there were treasures there, but when they went in, they found a giant food monster resting there. A black mist filled the cave, and it hurts when it touches your skin. I heard many people were injured. Someone just came to buy natural food for the injured. Word has spread around here, so you didn't know since you came late."
"Where is that place?"
Luo Qing asked.
"It's in Shaoziling, west of the city. I don't know exactly where it is."
Looks like I have to go check that place out.
Luo Qing couldn't sit still when he heard the news. His injuries had already healed, so there was no need for him to stay at Yu Mu's house any longer. He immediately handed the things in his hand to Yu Mu and said, "Because the Behemoth will escape, you take the things back first. I'll go to Shaoziling to check. If everything goes well, I may return to school. Goodbye."
"good."
"Be careful."
Yu Mu took the things and looked at Luo Qing's departing back. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but since he couldn't remember it for the moment, he didn't care.
For a moment, I felt a little lost.
Although she and Luo Qing had only been together for one day, she knew that Luo Qing was a good person with good qualities, knowledge, strong abilities, and most importantly, generous.
I feel sad that I can never see you again.
Fortunately, she had a large bag of food bought by Luo Qing, which made her feel better. Yu Mu happily went home with a large bag of food. Thinking about how to cook the food, she felt pain in her hands. These things were too heavy for her weak body to bear.
"Three pounds of rice, five pounds of bear meat, two pounds of eggs, and all sorts of other things—it's really heavy!"
Yu Mu was muttering.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the city gate ahead, followed by a flash of fire, as if someone was fighting.
She didn't care at first.
But I was tired, so I took a break and watched the fight. I saw two people on the city wall moving around at a very fast speed. Occasionally, I could see their figures clearly during the pauses. One of them vaguely looked a bit like Luo Qing.
Could it be Luo Qing?
Yu Mu took it seriously and looked at it carefully.
At this time, the battle became more intense. The man who looked like Luo Qing flew forward with a scarlet spear at the speed of lightning. At the same time, a string of red flames shot out from the tip of the spear. The target was another person. The other person screamed and fell quickly. The man with the spear took this opportunity to rush out of the city.
It only took about a minute.
Is that person really Luo Qing?
Yu Mu was just wondering when he heard two onlookers beside him shouting, "The little witch has suffered a loss. That's great!"
"right!"
Another person echoed: "No matter who that person is, as long as he defeats the little witch, he will be my benefactor, and I will call him the hero from now on."
"Didn't you notice? That person is Luo Qing, the proud son of Jinshan College."
"So it's him! I wonder who it is!"
"But I heard..."
The two of them left after talking about the key point.
Yu Mu wanted to listen but couldn't. She prayed in her heart that Luo Qing could complete the task. She picked up her things and rushed home. When she turned around, she saw a little boy of seven or eight years old lying on the ground in front of her. He looked like he was unconscious.
The child was eight or nine meters away from her, so she couldn't see him clearly. She could only vaguely see that his clothes were torn, he was dirty, and his face was buried in the ground.
I didn't see this kid just now!
Yu Mu stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Are you okay? What happened?"
Maybe he was conscious.
But the boy didn't answer.
It seems that he is unconscious. A child lying alone and unconscious on the street needs help no matter how you look at it.
Yu Mu hurried over to check the situation.
When she got closer, she found that he smelled bad. She turned the boy's face over and saw that he was thin and his appearance was covered with black stains. His body felt very hot, as if he had fainted from heatstroke. At this time, she should have given the boy some water, but there was no water in her bag, so she broke up a cucumber she had just bought and fed it to the boy.
Cucumber flesh is high in water.
I stuffed the cucumber pulp into the boy's mouth little by little, and he woke up after a while.
After opening his eyes, he stared at Yu Mu blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up and looked at Yu Mu warily, as if he was about to run away. However, just the action of sitting up made him gasp for breath due to exhaustion. He was so exhausted that he no longer wanted to think about anything else.
Yu Mu laughed as soon as he saw it.
She was originally very wary of the boy, but now seeing that he was even more timid than she was, she relaxed and asked him, "Do you want to eat this cucumber?"
"?"
The boy showed a puzzled expression, as if he was not sure what he saw was real. He rubbed his eyes and saw the green and juicy cucumber in Yu Mu's hand. At this time, the cucumber had been broken open, and the fragrance was so strong that his saliva could not help but flow down.
"Gudong."
He couldn't help swallowing and said, "Are you really giving it to me?" with a cautious look.
"Um……"
Yu Mu had originally prepared some for him to eat, but seeing how cautious he was, he quickly said, "Yes, if that's not enough for you, I have more here."
