Chapter 5 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
Bai Yuan tilted his head, somewhat confused.
Why after he showed his powerful strength, the couple felt more love and wanted to protect him?
Bai Yuan suppressed this doubt for the time being, raised his head and said: "In the future, I will become even stronger and can protect you."
Lin Cui Niang really didn't want to cry.
But when faced with such a well-behaved and sensible child, even though he no longer needed her protection, her heart became sour and soft again.
She held back her tears and said, "Of course, mother believes that Brother Yuan can support the family. You will always be the most precious baby to your parents."
Zhao Ping'an was not used to expressing his love with words. He just nodded seriously, his eyes red.
Bai Yuan absorbed the loving emotions of the couple and began to think seriously about how to support his family.
The couple changed their previous depressed mood. After confirming that their child was full of energy, except being a little thin, the huge stone that was weighing on their hearts suddenly dissipated.
The two are full of hope for the future.
After discussing it, they decided not to take the child to the town for medical treatment.
I don’t know whether the pulse of non-humans is the same as that of humans. What if their identity is discovered?
However, they still had to buy some herbs from the barefoot doctor so that they could answer the village chief when he asked.
The couple got busy while it was still light.
After a while, people from the village came over. They were still wary of Bai Yuan who was sitting there obediently. It was broad daylight and they felt creepy if they looked at him for a few more seconds.
They just said a few words in a hurry, left a handful of vegetables or dry straw and left.
period.
Liu Ermei, who grew up in the same village as Lin Cuiniang and later married to Zhaojia Village, also came. She quietly took out an egg from her sleeve and put it into Lin Cuiniang's hand, "I'll make some egg drop soup for your child later to nourish his body."
Lin Cui Niang's eyes became hot again and she pushed it back: "I don't want it."
Liu Ermei's life was also hard. The family she married into was not good either. Her parents-in-law and husband often beat and scolded her, saying she was a hen that didn't lay eggs and couldn't even give birth to a son.
Liu Ermei also spoke up for their family back then.
Also because of this.
Liu Ermei was tortured even more by her parents-in-law. She had to do all she could to protect her daughter, and she couldn't spare much money to help her.
She almost didn't dare to think about how Liu Ermei saved up these eggs.
Liu Ermei smiled and said, "Take it. Even if you take this egg back, it won't go into my and my stomach. It's better to leave it to Yuan Ge'er to replenish his body. Don't refuse it."
Lin Cui Niang stopped passing it on, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Then I'll keep it for you. Bring your little sister over tomorrow and we'll drink together."
Liu Ermei responded with a "OK".
She came here in a hurry this time and couldn't stay long. She was also afraid that other villagers would come and see her, and her gossip would be heard by her mother-in-law, and then trouble would arise again.
She was not afraid of being scolded by her parents-in-law, but she was afraid that it would bring bad influence to Lin Cui Niang's family.
"Brother Yuan, your aunt is gone." Liu Ermei waved to Bai Yuan who was sitting there. She had a smile on her face, which was as thin and dark as Lin Cui Niang's. A kind emotion emanated from her.
It was converted into energy and stored by Bai Yuan again.
Bai Yuan stretched out his little hand and imitated the gesture, quietly watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance.
Lin Cui Niang put the eggs away carefully.
Then, two more villagers came with some dry firewood, and they also came and left in a hurry.
Lin Cuiniang and Zhao Ping'an continued to be busy.
First, patch the hole in the roof, then fix the cracked window, clear all the weeds in the house, and then burn the insect repellent grass into ash powder and sprinkle it into every corner of the house.
Especially the earthen kang, which needs to be repaired quickly.
It was getting dark.
A fire was lit on the earthen kang, and a layer of dry straw was spread on it. Then the mattress was made out, and the damp and cold room soon warmed up.
The couple were extremely tired, but extremely excited.
Part of the reason was the excitement of no longer being exploited and tortured by the Zhao family, and part of the reason was the fear that wolves or other animals would break in if they stayed at the foot of the mountain.
Another part is the confusion about the future.
and concerns about the children.
In the past, Yuan Ge'er was labeled a disaster star just because of his appearance, and was almost drowned by a group of villagers who ganged up on him.
And now... Yuan Ge'er really has abilities different from ordinary people.
They were afraid that Yuan Ge'er would be discovered, and they were also afraid that they could not protect him.
When the moonlight rises.
The couple was still fast asleep, their breathing steady. A small figure quickly got up and tiptoed out.
The already frighteningly white skin, white hair and white eyes were coated with a faint halo by the moonlight, making him look like a mountain goblin, with an indescribable weirdness.
Bai Yuan raised his head slightly, absorbing the moonlight.
A ball of black energy condensed in the palm of his hand again.
Seeing this, the system finally couldn't help but ask cautiously: [Host, what race are you...? ]
It searched for a long time using a huge database.
If the host's abilities during the day are obtained by absorbing human emotions, it does not mean that the host can also absorb moonlight.
There are absolutely no taboos.
In the vast universe, no race can possess such a terrifying ability that defies the heavens.
It's exciting and tense at the same time.
He is excited that he has been bound to such a powerful host with a mysterious origin, but he is also nervous about whether there will be unknown powerful beings in the future who will covet the host's abilities and thus cause unknown dangers.
Think of this.
The system quickly said: [Host, you better not tell me, safety comes first.]
Bai Yuan quietly looked at the system light ball in the sea of consciousness and said softly, "Okay."
He was somewhat pleased.
After not choosing the Devouring System at the beginning and traveling to this magical little world, everything seemed to become new and interesting.
He stood up and walked towards the water source.
This body is still a child after all. Its steps are not big enough, and when it wants to walk faster, it will stagger as if it will fall at any time.
The system's tense data was in chaos: [Host, where are you going in the middle of the night? ]
"Catch some fish and eat them."
The original body's memory was always shrouded in hunger. The small bite of dried fish he once ate became the only bright spot in his memory, and he could never forget it.
He became curious.
Is the food humans eat really delicious?
The system immediately retrieved all the fish recipes in the database, leaving only those with an ancient background, and then eliminated all recipes that required seasonings, leaving only simple everyday recipes.
[Host, I just searched for hundreds of recipes that are recognized by the world as absolutely delicious. Even a novice can make delicious food. ]
Bai Yuan took a deep breath and walked faster.
After arriving at the place, Bai Yuan looked a little dazed. A very ordinary stream meandered by, with no end in sight. The moonlight sprinkled on the river, making the waves sparkle.
"It's really beautiful." Bai Yuan admired from the bottom of his heart.
It turns out that even a small world without any spiritual energy can have such beautiful natural scenery.
Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the river, shook its head and tail, and fell back into the river.
Next second.
All that could be heard was a splashing sound, followed by a flash of light so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, and the fish in mid-air was instantly pulled onto the grass.
Bai Yuan blinked.
The fish's life was sucked away in an instant, and it was completely dead.
system:【……】
It decided to pretend not to see it and reminded its host: [You can pull a grass stem through the fish gills and carry it home. ]
Bai Yuan nodded suddenly and took note of this point.
The system kindly reminded: [The fish may not taste as good if left overnight, so don’t catch too many. It’s a pity there’s no refrigerator here, otherwise you could freeze the fish to keep them fresh. ]
Bai Yuan was a little confused.
What is a refrigerator?
The only thing related to ice in the original body's memory was the heavy snow during the Chinese New Year. The weather was so cold that the thin cotton clothes could not keep out the chill.
ice……?
Bai Yuan looked down at his palm, his eyes flickering.
He can use all the energy he absorbs to transform it into all kinds of unrestricted abilities, and he can even use energy to create everything.
But the prerequisite is... he must know this thing.
Next second.
Snowflakes gathered one after another and finally slowly turned into a large piece of transparent ice, which refracted the light under the moonlight and looked quite crystal clear.
"Is this ice?"
Bai Yuan felt the cool and slippery touch, and put the fish into the ice to keep it fresh. Then he continued to catch more fish and stuffed them in until the ice could no longer hold them.
Bai Yuan felt a little unsatisfied.
He hasn't had so much fun in a long time.
Then, he looked at the scenery by the river for a long time, and then reluctantly went home with the ice cubes at the reminder of the system.
He put the ice inside the house and climbed back into bed.
The system saw this and said, "Good night, host."
Bai Yuan followed the local customs and learned quickly: "Good night."
The next day, it was just dawn.
The couple woke up one after another, carefully got off the kang, and closed the door of the inner room tightly, for fear of waking up the child.
The couple turned around and almost screamed when they saw the big ice cube in the living room out of the corner of their eyes.
It's obviously not winter.
Not only were there a few square blocks of ice in the room, but it was actually filled with fish. Some of the fish were even squeezed with their mouths wide open and their bodies folded up. It was not difficult to guess how they were stuffed in with force.
This scene looks a bit creepy.
Lin Cui Niang was so frightened that her legs went limp. Zhao Ping'an picked up the wooden stick beside him and looked around the room nervously and cautiously. The door to the living room was tightly closed and there was no sign of damage to the windows.
What, what is going on?
Lin Cui Niang held on with all her strength, her legs weak, "Husband, go back to the house and take Yuan Ge'er out."
They had to get out of this room quickly.
Before Zhao Ping'an could make any move, the door to the inner room suddenly opened, revealing a pale and tender face. The sleepy child spoke: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yuan didn't feel any danger in the house.
But both of them were filled with fear and panic, as well as a desire to protect him.
The system gently reminded: [Is it possible... that they were frightened by the ice and the fish? ]
"Brother Yuan..."
Lin Cui Niang subconsciously wanted to cover the child's eyes, but the child tilted his head slightly, with an expression of sudden enlightenment, and explained: "Don't be afraid, I caught the fish."
Lin Cui Niang paused and slowly widened her eyes.
What? !
Was she hallucinating?
Lin Cui Niang slowly turned her head and stared at the ice cube full of fish while holding back her fear. Each fish had dead eyes wide open and its meat was plump and elastic.
This is definitely not an illusion.
This also explains why everything in the house was normal, except for the ice and fish.
Lin Cui Niang was startled again. No, no... caught?! Then where did all the ice come from, and why did it freeze all these fish?
Her brother Yuan is only a five-year-old child, how could he do all this? !
