"Mom! Please stop hurting me."
"Uh??? Okay then!"
"But to be honest, it's nice to experience different skin tones."
"Hehe... Mom, do you want some?"
"No, Mom's aesthetic sense is perfectly normal."
"hehe……"
Zuo Qingya was dejected for a few days. She wrapped herself up tightly, put on an invisibility talisman, and went out.
I've been in the City of Survival for several days now and haven't left the house, all because of my skin problem. I should have known better than to play that prank. This is karma!
As soon as Zuo Qingya stepped out of the room, Zuo Haijia's door opened.
Zuo Qingya thought to herself that since she had put on an invisibility talisman, her mother shouldn't be able to see her!
Yeah, right!
Zuo Haijia grabbed Zuo Qingya by the back of her collar.
"Xiaoya, where are you going?"
Zuo Qingya was embarrassed. "Mom, how did you see me? I already put on an invisibility talisman!"
Zuo Haijia pointed to herself, "I drew the invisibility talisman; it has my aura on it."
"Uh??? Okay!"
Zuo Haijia nodded. "Where are you going?"
"Mom! I just wanted to go out for a walk."
"Are you alright?"
Zuo Qingya knew what the question was about.
Zuo Qingya nodded, "It's all over now."
"That's fine then. Go ahead and come back soon."
"good!"
Zuo Qingya arrived at the market and was surprised to find it so quiet at night.
Zuo Qingya originally wanted to go to the shop for a cup of coffee, but she didn't expect that there was nothing there, only plain water with ice.
Okay then, at least it's a drink.
Zuo Qingya walked around and found that there was really nothing here, except for a very small amount of food.
Zuo Qingya planned to choose a shop herself, one where there would be long queues. After all, once the shop opened, there would be a lot of people. If it was located near the city gate, the queues might extend outside the city, which would be too dangerous.
If the shops were allowed to choose their own locations, I wonder where they would choose.
Zuo Qingya looked at the plus sign behind the small general store, clicked it, and the number changed to three, proving that Zuo Qingya already had three stores.
"There should be a small general store in the city tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it! I wonder if Uncle Yan will be so happy he'll fly away?"
Having finished her business, Zuo Qingya didn't wander around anymore and went straight back to the castle.
Actually, Zuo Qingya didn't need to cover herself up so tightly. After all, she already had an invisibility talisman, so there was no need to do anything extra.
Besides, it's dark and windy at night, so no one will be paying attention to you.
rustling sounds~
What was that sound?
Zuo Qingya walked curiously toward the source of the sound.
When Zuo Qingya reached the wall, she listened carefully and discovered that the sound was coming from inside the wall.
Zuo Qingya knocked, and the noise immediately stopped.
Zuo Qingya stood still and waited for a while before the rustling sound started again.
"What could be inside? Could it be a snake? Inside the wall? Probably not. It could also be ants or something."
Zuo Qingya grinned mischievously, took out a bamboo stick from her consciousness space, broke it in half, stuck it into the wall, and started blowing.
Zuo Qingya stopped playing when she got tired, and chuckled twice.
This is a treasure. Don't underestimate it just because it's a bamboo stick. It's a deadly weapon. The sound you make when you blow it can be deceptive.
And look, what's coming out of the wall in a line is actually a group of ants.
"Huh??? They're really big! They're so shiny and oily, they must taste delicious!" Just thinking about it made Zuo Qingya's mouth water. She had seen these ants before the disaster; whenever it rained, many of them would fly out. She didn't know their scientific name, but they were edible. Her grandmother had cooked them for her when she was little, but there was never enough.
"Now that it's this big, it should be big enough to eat, right?"
Zuo Qingya packed all the ants into a bag and put them in her consciousness space. She could take them out and stir-fry them whenever she wanted to eat them. How wonderful! This is delicious! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
"No, I want to eat it now. I'll ask my mom to cook it when I get back."
Back in the castle, Zuo Qingya went straight to find Zuo Haijia!
"Mom! Open the door."
After waiting a while, I heard a voice from inside the door, "Okay, wait a minute."
After a commotion, Zuo Haijia opened the door.
Why did it take so long, Mom?
Zuo Haijia was a little embarrassed and ashamed: "It's nothing, I just fell down when I woke up."
Zuo Qingya looked Zuo Haijia up and down with concern and noticed a red dot on Zuo Haijia's neck.
"Mom, did you get bitten by a mosquito? There's such a big bump!"
Zuo Haijia awkwardly covered the red spot and pretended to scratch it. "Yeah, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes."
"Mom, look what this is." Zuo Qingya said, taking out an ant.
"Giant water ants?"
"So this is called a giant water ant!"
"Where did you get it from?"
"On the outside wall."
"Mom, can I eat this?" Zuo Qingya asked, licking her lips.
"You little glutton, all you ever do is eat."
"Mom, this big water ant is so fat! Look at its oily rear end. It'll sizzle with oil when you stir-fry it. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Mom, hurry up and stir-fry it for me!"
"Alright, stop looking so pitiful."
"Hehe, I know Mom loves me the most."
Just you wait!
"Hehe...Mom, I have many more here!"
"You're just going to exhaust me to death!"
"Mom, you keep cooking, cook as much as you can, I can save it for later."
"I'm really impressed by you."
Before long, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, instantly drawing everyone out of the castle.
Everyone couldn't help but suppress their laughter when they saw Zuo Qingya's appearance.
"What? It smells so good!"
"Uncle Yan, it's a giant water ant."
"What kind of giant water ant?"
Zuo Qingya picked up a large water ant. "This is it."
Yanxi took it and looked at it, "Where did you get this?"
"From the outside wall."
"Large water ants usually emerge after rain; could it be that a heavy rain is about to fall?"
"That's possible, but let's take precautions first!"
"Hmm... I'll go and inform them."
"Uncle Yan, would you like one?"
"Of course, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat."
Yanxi took a bite and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious!"
"I told you it's delicious!" Zuo Qingya said, picking up a stir-fried ant and starting to eat it.
Well, the outer shell is a bit hard, but the juice inside is so fresh! It's so delicious!
"I'll go catch some more later."
"It tastes delicious even without any seasoning! It's so fresh and delicious."
Yanxi returned shortly afterward.
"Uncle Yan, have you finished informing everyone so quickly?"
"Yes, it's just a matter of making a phone call."
"Alright!"
"Haijia, is there any more?"
"have."
Zuo Qingya felt that the atmosphere was strange, with a sticky feeling. She thought it was just her dark skin making her feel strange.
