One of the soldiers glanced over there and said, "Look at them standing there, staring straight at us."
"Could it be that they're after our sparrows?"
Suddenly, everyone felt that even sparrows tasted better than before.
Although we haven't even started baking or processing it yet.
"I don't know how they usually go hungry. Look how much thinner they are than us."
"Their clothes aren't as new as ours, and they're just guests."
"If it were at their base normally, who knows what kind of tattered clothes they'd be wearing?"
Is this the sense of superiority that comes from comparison?
Bai Shuang found it amusing; let them think what they want, as long as they're happy.
Those guys at the southern base are really something. If you're just here for sightseeing, at least say hello to the locals, chat with them, help them out, or lend a hand.
Over time, not only will we get to know each other better, but we might even make friends.
I was just standing there, looking straight at it from that distance.
Bai Shuang analyzed that there might be confidants of Liu Yong and his son who were unwilling to let them get close.
Whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with this place. Just go about your business.
Then, some survivors came over carrying whole bags of sparrows, and the accompanying soldiers immediately began to collect them.
Fortunately, I brought plenty of water today.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers at the southern base looked at Bai Shuang and her group with curiosity.
Weren't they out scavenging? What are they doing now? Picking up sparrows?
This morning, Li Yong heard that Bai Shuang had gone out to scavenge with that group of people, which he found strange. So he sent a few people to follow her, ostensibly to get to know her better, and to see how the young mistress of the Lu family would go scavenging with them.
But those guys were really straightforward; Li Yong told them to keep an eye on things, and they really did keep staring.
Then they saw that Mrs. Lu's scavenging skills were indeed extraordinary.
First, they blow a whistle to release golden eagles, tigers, and military dogs, and then a group of people run over to collect sparrows...
To this day, they haven't picked up a single piece of metal, but instead carried back bags of mutated sparrows.
The more I look at them now, the more it seems like they're having a picnic; they even carried the car out of the water.
"Ah, they've started cleaning up the sparrows."
"What a picnic?"
...
By this time, the sparrows had been picked up, and the scavengers began to collect scraps from the ruins. Bai Jiu and his companions started taking out lamps, stoves, cutting boards, and other items.
The soldiers quickly and efficiently cleaned up the sparrows, sprinkling them with the barbecue seasoning that Baishuang had brought to marinate them...
Before long, the aroma of barbecue wafted out, and it smelled like barbecue before the disaster.
The people at the southern base were all swallowing hard.
"Damn it, who just suggested not greeting people?"
"That's right. Liu Hui is arrogant and domineering, and lawless. Why should we all stoop to her level and cause trouble for her?"
"No, I'll go help them."
“I also went over to help them.”
...
One by one, they left; no one wanted to stay there hungry and watch others eat delicious food.
It's all in the past.
Bai Shuang and the others were tidying up, thinking it was their own scavengers returning, but it turned out to be people from the south.
"We've come to help."
"Thank you, we don't need your help."
"I think you guys want to eat barbecue, don't you?"
Why didn't you come over earlier?
...
The soldiers on this side were all talking at once, arguing back.
After everyone had finished arguing, Bai Shuang said, "Alright, alright, we're all compatriots. Since we're here, let's help each other out."
Although they came for the barbecue, if they keep arguing and refuse to accept the other party's help, they will really become enemies.
“That’s right, that’s right, we are compatriots, we won’t stoop to Liu Hui’s level.”
"She's spoiled, but that doesn't represent us."
"If we let her represent us, then we're truly doomed."
See, they don't even need any prompting; they know the crux of the problem themselves.
You, Liu Hui, don't represent anything. If Chief Liu's decision-making is truly influenced by his daughter's affairs, then he is truly out of touch with the masses.
Since Bai Shuang has spoken, everyone is still very respectful.
The two groups quickly became friends. Some people on one side were curious and asked them about the situation at the southern base, and Bai Shuang also listened to some of their questions.
They were indeed Liu Yong's subordinates.
However, he repeatedly clarified that they would not stoop to Liu Hui's level, and that Liu Yong was a sensible person, unlike Liu Hui.
His parents spoiled his younger sister, and sometimes he couldn't do anything about it.
Seafood is also being harvested at the military base in the south, but the supplies are not as good as here.
The main difference is that during the polar day, they do not cultivate large areas of land. Although they raise a lot of chickens, the number is still far less than that of those on Baishuang's side.
Liu Hui is usually treated like a high-ranking princess at their base, and she is also highly skilled in martial arts and has a strong personality.
She's always been pampered by others, and no one dares to mess with her.
She practiced martial arts from a young age, and she had a highly skilled master who was said to be the head of some sect.
Liu Hui was very talented in martial arts and was deeply loved by her master.
These people grilled, ate, and chatted as they went. When the grilling was almost done, they were full.
At this time, the old scavenger also returned one after another, dragging his heavy metal load.
After a quick wash, we sat down and started grilling and eating.
Soon, the trucks that arrived were full, and everyone had eaten their fill, so the group finished work early.
Back at the base, Bai Shuang heard from Mr. Wu that Liu Hui's mother and master had arrived by private plane that day.
Bai Jiu: "What the hell? Isn't this a classic case of 'beating the young one, and then the old one comes'?"
Bai Chang: "This is our Kyoto base. No matter who comes, what can they do?"
Bai Shuang asked Mr. Wu with a smile, "Is her master going to challenge me to a duel again?"
"Nothing was said yet, and we don't know what will happen next."
However, in a real battle, you can't be careless. I've heard she's the former leader of a certain sect, with profound skills.
"Alright, I won't underestimate my opponent."
The next morning, Bai Shuang and the others had just finished practicing their kung fu and were getting ready to take a shower and change clothes when Bai Jiu told her that someone was looking for them at the door.
Who could this person be if Bai Jiu didn't recognize him? Bai Shuang put on her coat and walked outside. A strange soldier came.
When he saw Bai Shuang call out "Young Madam Lu," Bai Shuang knew that she was from the south. Here, apart from the Lu family's servants, no one else would call her that.
He said Liu Hui's master wanted to challenge Bai Shuang to a duel, and hoped to meet her before the fight.
"Want a duel? Tell him you're ready to fight to the end, but there's no need to meet him."
What's the point of meeting a master with such a narrow mind? No wonder he taught someone like Liu Hui, who is arrogant and unruly regardless of the situation.
Just as the soldier was about to leave, he heard someone shout from behind, "Wait, is Master Liu Hui a man or a woman?"
The soldier said, "...a woman."
"Okay, you can go now."
Bai Shuang then called Mr. Wu and asked him to investigate Liu Hui's master, because knowing oneself and one's enemy is the key to victory.
I'm not afraid of her being skilled in martial arts; my main concern is whether she knows anything about divination or other such things. I need to be prepared in advance.
