Listening to Jiao Yangyang's mournful words, Xu Bai curled his lips, but when he saw Jiao Nanmu's body move slightly, Xu Bai felt a little relieved.
With Jiao Nanmu here, we can leave some matters of Shuguang City to him and rest assured.
"City Lord Xu Bai, is this the one we caught? How does it feel..." Shi Qinghe was eating a steamed bun, one bite at a time, and came over and handed one to Xiao Fentuan. After Xiao Fentuan took it, he took a bite, and the soup in the steamed bun dripped onto Xu Bai's clothes.
Xu Bai: “…”
Seeing that it dripped onto Xu Bai's clothes, the little pink ball quickly stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, filling his entire mouth so much that a lot of liquid even remained at the corners of his mouth.
After finishing eating, the little pink ball looked at Xu Bai embarrassedly, "I didn't mean it."
"Next time, don't eat on me, not even on my head."
Seeing that it was well-behaved and obedient, with a faint fragrance on its body, Shi Qinghe poked its body with her finger. Seeing that it covered its face with an embarrassed look, she smiled.
"I didn't expect it could eat. Why don't you go change your clothes? It should be okay for it to stay with me for a while, right?"
It was the first time that Shi Qinghe had seen such a spiritual little creature that could even talk. She was so curious that she had already forgotten about the fact that this thing could lure people into dreams and make them lose themselves.
"Okay, don't bully me." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, placed the little pink ball in Shi Qinghe's palm, and walked back to his hut to change clothes.
Shi Qinghe poked the little pink ball with her fingers. It had a soft body and every time she poked it, the flesh on its body would bounce back.
"Can you eat anything?"
"So what did you eat at Zheyuan Mountain?"
The little pink ball was also playing with his own flesh. He only looked up when he heard the question and looked at Shi Qinghe: "Eat trees."
Eat trees?
Shi Qinghe was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the exploding peach tree. Her hands holding the little pink ball trembled: "So, you ate the peach tree and possessed it?"
Little Pink Ball: “…”
It rolled its eyes and said unhappily, "That's my real body."
When he thought about the fact that it couldn't even protect its own body, he couldn't help but get angry. He thought about how after it developed intelligence, it was so hungry that it started eating the small trees nearby. Some of the trees also had spiritual energy, which improved it a lot, but it also saw trees that liked to eat people. It was not interested in bloody and smelly things.
The little pink ball turned its body, and the originally bear-like ball turned into a peach tree. The roots of the peach tree were clearly visible, and the peach branches swayed gently, occasionally one or two petals fell into Shi Qinghe's palm.
Shi Qinghe's hand trembled, and the peach tree was about to fall down. He was so scared that he quickly grabbed it, but the little pink ball refused to change back into an animal. He tried to coax and deceive it but the little pink ball didn't respond.
After Xu Bai came back, Shi Qinghe ran over excitedly as if she had seen a relative and handed the little pink ball in her hand to Xu Bai.
"I didn't really do anything to it, but it...it just won't change back."
As soon as the little pink ball landed in Xu Bai's hands, it immediately transformed back into its bear-like form. It picked up the petals that had fallen from it, quickly climbed onto Xu Bai's shoulder, and, lying on its stomach, made a face at Shi Qinghe. After Xu Bai left the office, the little pink ball said to Shi Qinghe, "That girl is no longer in this world."
The little pink ball blinked, and after seeing Shi Qinghe's astonished expression, she covered her mouth and laughed wildly.
Shi Qinghe pursed her lips and sat quietly on the chair. Father Shi patted Shi Qinghe's shoulder to comfort her.
He knew what the little pink ball was talking about.
The girl was a child from several families next door to their hometown. She grew up with Shi Qinghe and went to the same elementary school, middle school, and university.
We were not in the same department in college, so if we went home together in the past, the three of us, including Ji Heng, would come back together.
Shi Qinghe talked about his dream about this girl yesterday, and said that he was with this girl in the dream. If he met her again in the end of the world, he would try his best to protect her and pursue her.
But unexpectedly, the girl was already dead.
Walking on the streets of Dawn City, Xu Bai folded his arms as he walked, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Died in Zheyuan Mountain?"
"No, I saw it in the dreams of several students who died in Zheyuan Mountain."
The little pink ball sat on Xu Bai's shoulder, dangling on his feet and holding his head in his hands.
"It happened in a small room. Several people bullied her, and finally the one with supernatural powers tortured her to death."
"I happened to see a girl who looked like me in Shi Qinghe's dream, so I remembered her and looked through other people's dreams."
“…”
Xu Bai was silent, turned her head to look at the office, then went to the fast food restaurant, enjoyed a delicious breakfast, and then took out the mutant rabbits she had collected in her personal space.
There are about seventy or eighty mutant rabbits. Their fur is all peeled off, cleaned, dried and made into warm clothing. Some of the mutant rabbit meat is cooked on the spot, and some that cannot be eaten is dried into jerky.
The garment factory has started to get back on track, with some people making clothes and some making quilts.
Everyone in the factory is busy.
So they didn't even know when Xu Bai came in.
When Xu Bai brought the rabbit's fur to Nan Qi, Nan Qi immediately put down the work in his hands and took over, then reported to Xu Bai the progress of the work during this period.
The garment factory was also managed by Shi's father, but Nan Qi was more clear about the main work content of the factory.
Nan Qi knew that Shi's father had recently been managing some affairs of Shuguang City on behalf of Jiao Nanmu and had no time to take charge of the factory's affairs, so he reported to Xu Bai first.
In these few days, they have completed five single quilts and eight down jackets.
Not too fast but not too slow either.
However, the weather was bad in the past two days, so they didn't have time to process the cotton, and the plantations were too late to grow the cotton, so many people had less work to do than at the beginning.
"Don't worry about the cotton. I'll take care of it."
After Xu Bai understood the situation, he asked them to continue with the tasks at hand.
Since that black rain, Dawn City has suffered a lot of losses. All the plants that could not be harvested in time were soaked by the rain. Some of them were covered with black spots, and people didn't dare to harvest them and eat them. Not only did people not dare to eat them, they didn't even dare to try feeding them to giant pigs.
All of them were collected and piled up in the small shed outside the warehouse.
Wait for Xu Bai to come back and deal with it.
Xu Bai just took a quick look and asked them to move the things outside and burn them.
These days, they all felt sorry for the crops, and were still waiting for Xu Bai to come and make a decision, holding out hope that their city lord would say it was okay and they could be eaten.
As a result, so much food was wasted.
