Chapter 118: Adrian comes to pick people up, don’t let them be taken away by the wolves in the mountains...
but......
Yun Fuyu remembered something, turned her head to look at Zhou Bai, and pointed at the ingredients.
"Are these ingredients with a contamination level of 0?"
Yun Fuyu vaguely remembered that Zhou Bai's parents seemed to have underlying diseases caused by long-term consumption of mildly contaminated food. They needed to take medicine regularly and sign up for collective purification rituals to reduce the erosion of pollution.
This is the case for many residents. They have to learn to coexist with pollution from the moment they are born.
Zhou Bai: "Uh..."
Yun Fuyu took a quick look and found that the other ingredients in the storage room were all slightly contaminated.
Even if Zhou Bai didn't say it, Yun Fuyu slowly guessed the reason.
Zhou Bai surrendered: "It's just a few meals. It can't be more expensive than what you bought."
These ingredients were bought by Zhou Song at the grocery store just now after Zhou Bai's parents asked him to do so.
Yun Fuyu is an important guest, and Zhou Bai's parents want to treat him well.
This little place doesn't have much good stuff, at least it doesn't serve contaminated food to guests.
Yun Fuyu pursed her lips and fell silent.
Zhou Bai moved closer to Yun Fuyu, put his tiger's mouth on her pointed chin, pinched her cheeks, and deliberately pinched her mouth into an O shape.
"It's not a big deal, why are you still unhappy? Our family is much richer now than before, and we can even send Zhou Huai to boarding school. It's just a few meals, how can you really eat us out of money?"
Yun Fuyu let Zhou Bai pinch him, his eyelashes drooping, his nose feeling a little sore.
The Zhou Bai family is not that rich, but they are all cheerful, which makes their life not that difficult.
In fact, even ordinary people will not get sick if they eat slightly contaminated food for a few days, not to mention that Yun Fuyu is a psychic.
Zhou Bai's parents knew this.
But they are still willing to prepare the best things for Yun Fu Yu.
If Yun Fuyu hadn't been able to tell the degree of contamination in the food, he might not even have noticed it.
......
Yun Fuyu decided to purify all the food in the storage room while Zhou Bai was cooking.
But this alone is definitely not enough.
After a long time, Yun Fuyu suddenly spoke.
"Zhou Bai, you are going to get a scholarship."
Zhou Bai was chopping vegetables while making a puzzled nasal sound.
"Um?"
Yun Fuyu: "Everyone in our team has a scholarship. We will probably be officially notified after school starts."
Zhou Bai looked puzzled: "When did it happen? Which foundation?"
Zhou Bai applied for all the funds he was eligible for, and the results were announced a year ago.
Yun Fuyu said seriously, "It's a newly established foundation that awards scholarships to teams that perform well in military exercises. No application is required. Lancelot told me about it, but I forgot the name of the foundation."
In fact, it is the "Xiaoyun Helping Teammates to Grow Healthy Foundation", which was just established three minutes ago and the investor is Yun Fu Yu.
Chao Zhao had previously said that he would transfer the property under his name to Yun Fuyu, and he actually did so.
Zhaohui is not with Yun Fuyu, but he will send messages every now and then to convey the progress of this matter.
So, Yun Fuyu is now considered... a rich man?
Yun Fuyu himself had no money to spend, and Chao Zhao's personal property included a lot of messy assets, which Yun Fuyu didn't quite understand.
Therefore, he prefers to keep the money for the time being.
But he can spend part of it to set up a foundation to provide scholarships to classmates who really need the money - most importantly, quietly provide scholarships to his teammates.
Anyway, the teammates can't trace back to the investors, so Yun Fuyu doesn't have to worry that they will not accept the money.
*
Zhou Bai has great skills.
Yun Fuyu was in a good mood beside the lively bonfire.
In addition to Zhou Bai's parents' urging, Yun Fuyu ate a lot of food during dinner, far more than her usual amount.
In fact, due to some psychological trauma from the joint military exercise, Yun Fuyu doesn't want to see meat recently.
But Zhou Bai cooked the stew so well that the original shape of the meat was completely unrecognizable and it smelled delicious, so Yun Fuyu could accept it much better.
Father Zhou happily served Yun Fuyu some rice and sighed:
"You said that Zhou Bai, this kid, brought his friends with him, but he insisted on saying that he could fight nine people at once. I was half-believing and half-doubting..."
This incident dates back to when Zhou Baigang returned home for vacation.
At that time, a group of little kids pestered Zhou Bai and asked him to tell stories about big cities.
Zhou Bai thought about it, picked out some, and told some thrilling stories from the joint military exercise - such as his brave teammate Xiaoyun.
Zhou Bai vividly described how Xiaoyun fought against nine others on the field, broke through the siege single-handedly, killed all the way, and beat a group of arrogant aristocratic students so badly that they had to go home to find their mother in a panic.
A group of children, big and small, gathered around the fire, listening to the story attentively.
Zhou Bai's parents were sitting next to him at the time, and they thought Zhou Bai was bragging.
"If you say that, how strong must he be? He must be strong and sturdy, taller than our courtyard wall?"
Zhou Bai was already very tall and had bumped into the door frame several times when entering the house.
Even so, Zhou Bai never said that he was fighting nine people alone.
If Zhou Bai's brave teammate was taller than Zhou Bai, then when he came to visit, the door frame of Zhou Bai's house would probably have to be demolished and rebuilt.
Now, after seeing Yun Fuyu, Zhou Bai's parents were certain that Zhou Bai was obviously talking nonsense!
Xiaoyun is so thin and doesn't eat much, and doesn't look like the one-on-nine-out-of-one situation described by Zhou Bai at all.
Zhou Bai was silent.
"Well... uh..."
Yun Fuyu held the bowl and felt a little embarrassed to look up for some reason.
"It's actually true."
Father Zhou: "Hahahaha...ah?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Zhou Bai's parents looked at each other.
But Zhou Bai and Yun Fuyu nodded vigorously, very seriously.
Mother Zhou was stunned: "...Is it really true?"
Father Zhou was speechless: "Can you really beat nine people by yourself?"
Yun Fuyu continued to nod like a chick pecking at rice.
Father Zhou slapped his thigh suddenly: "Amazing!"
Mother Zhou's eyes lit up: "Zhou Song! Your brother Xiaoyun is your role model!"
Zhou Song also joined the group nodding vigorously.
Yun Fuyu: “…”
I finally understand how Zhou Bai's personality was formed.
During this time, other neighbors heard that there were guests coming to Zhou Bai's house, so they strolled over to chat after dinner.
A group of old men and women started praising Zhou Bai and Yun Fuyu when they saw them.
"What's the name of your school? The First School?"
"The First Military Academy of Central Star."
"Yes! That's the name. I heard it's very difficult to pass the exam! Look at him, he's so promising!"
"Actually, there's no need to ask..."
"Dad, this is a military academy that only accepts psychics! I can't go in no matter how much you try to slap me!"
"Zhou Bai, this kid, was already able to run out and hunt star beasts when he was only this tall. I've always thought he had a promising future..."
"That's too much, uncle."
"Don't be so modest. I know how amazing he is. Over the years, Zhou Bai is the only kid in the surrounding towns who's been admitted. My son can't even get in. He just keeps pissing me off at home!"
The neighbors laughed and praised Yun Fu Yu.
"You can tell he's not an ordinary student."
Yun Fuyu felt embarrassed by the praise.
At the same time, there is a sense of strangeness and freshness in looking at the First Military Academy from a different perspective.
Yun Fuyu was completely unprepared when she first entered school and relied entirely on her stubbornness.
There are so many strong people in the military academy.
In the queue of thousands of people, A-level students can be seen everywhere, and S-level students are not uncommon among the inner courtyard students.
When everyone lined up and stood in the open space, once the camera zoomed out, their ordinary team was easily drowned in the sea of elites, leaving no trace at all.
But even so, for Yun Fuyu at that time, any person picked out from the crowd might be stronger than him.
Yun Fu Yu actually doesn't feel like he's gotten any stronger.
But in the eyes of the neighbors, even just being admitted to the top military academy would be praised to the skies.
Over the years, only Zhou Bai has succeeded here.
They looked at each other and said that Zhou Bai had been gifted since he was a child and was very smart. The neighbors would go to him if they had anything that needed repairing, and if there were any star beasts that could not be solved, Zhou Bai would find a way to solve it.
There were even a few times when unreasonable local officials clashed with the people in the town and almost got into fights, and it was Zhou Bai who stepped in to resolve the situation.
In short, the Zhou Bai family is quite prestigious in the local area and is trusted by the simple residents.
Yun Fuyu listened with his ears perked up, finding it very interesting.
Zhou Bai is usually a nice guy, but not this...mature?
I always feel that after coming here, I understand Zhou Bai better.
*
Seven days passed quickly.
Yun Fuyu and Zhou Bai collected tubers of plants that grew in winter in the mountains and forests, and accompanied Zhou Song in practicing physical skills.
He also ran from the westernmost end of the town to the easternmost end with a group of children and Zhou Bai, observing them climbing up the roofs and removing the tiles.
I also broke a piece of ice in the frozen river and tried to fish.
Of course, Yun Fuyu also tried various foods at the market and prayed devoutly that the golden fried sweet bread was not contaminated.
It's a bit strange, it feels like blessing the bread to taste better.
In the morning, Zhou Bai occasionally helped Yun Fuyu, who was still half asleep, to put on her clothes.
Yun Fuyu's hair is much longer than before.
Zhou Bai used the few hair-tying techniques he knew to braid Yun Fuyu's hair into a small braid.
If Yun Fuyu's hair was a little longer, Zhou Bai would have more room to perform.
At night, Yun Fuyu stayed in Zhou Bai's room, and the two of them squeezed into one bed again.
The quilt and blanket, Zhou Bai and the spiritual dog were all warm and not cold at all.
There were also a few times when Yun Fuyu and Zhou Bai would sneak out in the middle of the night and sneak to the door of Zhou Bai's parents' room to purify them. This was much faster than taking medicine.
In short, Yun Fuyu liked this place very much, took a lot of photos and recorded them in detail.
There are many more things he wants to do, such as - if possible, Yun Fuyu wants to work hard to improve the overall economic conditions of this small town, as well as the living and medical conditions.
But how to do it?
Yun Fuyu can work hard to make money.
Money can help Zhou Baijia build a device to hinder the star beasts.
If there is enough money, we can also install these advanced devices for the entire town.
The townspeople are very welcoming.
But Yun Fuyu felt that the mountains were endless, and there was another mountain after another. In this gently undulating mountain range, there might be countless friendly people in other human settlements.
If you want to help everyone, it is not something that can be accomplished simply by relying on Yun Fu Yu's money.
Even if Chao Zhao's money was spent, it might not be enough.
What to do?
Yun Fuyu still needs to spend a lot of time to think about this matter slowly.
*
On the seventh day, light snow began to fall from the sky.
Zhou's mother was reluctant to let Yun Fuyu go and tried to fill his three huge backpacks with things.
"This is some dried food that I dried at home. Keep it in a cool, dry place. This is some nuts that Zhou Bai roasted. I gave you a few bags. Not many. I'll send them to you after you finish eating them..."
This "not much" means that one bag can take up half of a backpack.
Zhou's father was stuffing bacon and sausages into another backpack. He couldn't zip it up, but he was still trying hard to stuff it in.
Yun Fuyu tried to stop him in a panic.
"Uncle, I really can't eat so much. You guys should keep it. It would be a waste if you give it to me..."
Father Zhou: "Hey, what's the waste? Share the leftovers with your classmates. Aren't there quite a few people on your team? Share it with everyone and we'll finish it in no time!"
Zhou's mother also packed a bag of fruit.
Zhou Bai was overwhelmed: "Mom, this should be easy to break, right?"
Mother Zhou: "It's okay, I'll put it on the top, Xiaoyun, you can eat these on the way."
Yun Fuyu did nothing for most of the day except expressing his gratitude... because Zhou's father and mother stopped him and prevented him and Zhou Bai from interfering.
*
When Yun Fuyu was about to leave in the evening, the snow was falling heavier and heavier.
Zhou Bai's parents wanted to send Yun Fuyu to the station in the south of the town, but Yun Fuyu persuaded them not to do so and to go back and rest.
Under the dim gate light at the entrance of the courtyard, two kind figures were looking at Yun Fuyu.
Yun Fuyu turned back several times, and they waved to her several times, shouting from afar:
"If the road is difficult to walk on at night, come back!"
At worst, they can let Yun Fuyu stay until school starts and return to school with Zhou Bai, and they will feel at ease.
Zhou Bai must be seeing Yun Fu Yu off.
He was carrying three heavy backpacks on his back, and the weight felt heavier than carrying three Yunfuyu backpacks.
Zhou Bai was puzzled: "Who will pick you up at this time of night? I hope they didn't make a mistake."
Yun Fuyu was also confused.
"That should be right, right?"
Lancelot informed Yun Fuyu of the specific return time and asked him to go to the place where they got off seven days ago. He said that someone would pick him up at that time.
If it’s not Lancelot, could it be Cui Jue?
Zhou Bai smiled and said, "Then I'll wait with you. Don't leave until you're sure it's safe. Don't let the wolves in the mountains take you away again."
Yun Fuyu: "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe. There shouldn't be any living creature in this mountain that can defeat me..."
As the two of them were talking, they looked up and saw a figure under the street light at the station.
The man was dressed in black.
It was late at night, but he was wearing a black mask and a black hat.
He was very tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. With his hands in his pockets, he looked up at the snowflakes slowly falling under the street lights.
Seeing Zhou Bai and Yun Fuyu approaching, the man slowly turned his head to look at Yun Fuyu.
?
Yun Fuyu relied on his good eyesight to meet the pair of green eyes under the low-drawn brim of the hat.
