Chapter 19 Who would have thought that a blanket could fly?
“Qiqi——!”
"Miaomiao."
The two children ran towards each other, gave each other a big hug, and then walked hand in hand in a certain direction.
They chattered in a language they were not familiar with.
At least that's what Bai Yu and Bai Xi heard, but to Bai Miao, she and Qiqi were already friends who could communicate smoothly.
The plan to go to the market was agreed upon yesterday. Qiqi said she wanted to tell her family, so we made an appointment to go to the market together today.
The grassland looked very large. Bai Yu and Bai Xi didn't know how long it would take to walk to the market, so they changed into their best shoes. However, they didn't expect that Qiqi would pull Bai Miao and run not long after they started walking.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi hurried to follow.
The naked eye can see grass all around, but at a certain moment, the grass in front of you suddenly disappears.
Bai Yu grabbed Bai Xi, who was subconsciously about to rush forward.
Not far away, Qiqi was holding Bai Miao's hand and talking to the adult in front of her with her head raised. After listening, the adult raised his head and looked at Bai Yu and Bai Xi.
He gave a gentle smile.
Bai Yu took Bai Xi's hand and walked over, looking at him and smiling.
"You came from Fire Grass?"
"Um."
"It actually came from the Fire Grass..."
The other party spoke an unfamiliar language, so Bai Yu and Bai Xi could only guess. From the other party's expression, they could tell that she was very surprised that they came from that grassland.
But soon, surprise turned into a look of slight sympathy.
After a brief greeting, he lowered his head and started talking to Qiqi.
Bai Miao returned to her sisters and held their hands. "Qiqi told her mother that we don't have anything. We don't know what it is, but many adults have that thing. If you have that thing, you can't go to collect fire grass. It's like a match, it will burn."
Although Bai Miao didn't quite understand, Bai Yu still understood what she meant: "In other words, the match that can catch fire, like many adults here, has a very special thing that can make the fire grass burn, but we don't have it."
"Well, that's right." Bai Miao didn't quite understand.
When she talked to Qiqi, she could only understand some things that existed in both dimensions. If they didn't exist, she couldn't understand them, and she could only learn pronunciation from Qiqi.
But when they read the word, Bai Yu and Bai Xi still didn't understand what it meant.
Fortunately, the other party understood that they were planning to sell firewood at the market.
As she was speaking, Qiqi's mother called out, still with the sound of "meow meow": "Gone."
The three of them hurried to follow.
I thought we were going to the market, but not long after we left, Qiqi and her mother sat down on a big blanket and raised her hand to invite the three of us to sit down as well.
“Are you selling anything here?”
The three of them followed and sat down carefully, looking left and right trying to find a buyer.
The buyer didn't show up, and a man walked by the blanket, taking copper coins from one person after another, two coins per person.
Qiqi's mother was quick. She picked up Miaomiao and put her in Bai Yu's arms. She then held Qiqi in her arms and handed over two copper coins first.
"You don't have to give me any money if you're holding me." Bai Yu hugged Bai Miao tightly, feeling very flustered. She tried to steady herself. "Xiaoxi, give me four yuan."
Bai Xi took out four copper coins from his backpack and put them in the hand of the visitor.
After paying, she hugged Bai Yu's arm and whispered, "Why do I have to pay before I even sell anything? I don't understand anything. The language you're talking about now is different from what we learned from Qiqi before."
"It's okay, Qiqi's mother did the same thing," Bai Yu clenched her fists, "When the time comes...if...we will go back."
"Okay." Bai Xi stuck close to Bai Yu.
The person collecting the money went around, collected money from everyone, and then said something to the person in the front.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi both stared at the person in front of them.
I suddenly came to my senses and found that the sight in front of me was wrong.
“Big sister——!”
"Don't be afraid, hold on to me tight." Bai Yu clenched his fists tighter, and at the same time, he held Bai Miao with even greater strength. "It's okay, nothing will happen. Everyone is here."
Bai Xi's voice trembled, but she still didn't dare to speak loudly: "Sister, the blanket, did the blanket fly up?"
Bai Yu replied bravely: "I'm flying."
The blanket kept flying.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi felt the wind blowing in their faces, their minds still unclear. They thought they were sitting on a blanket to sell things, but who would have thought that the blanket could actually fly?
Blanket! It’s a blanket that’s flying!!!
Oh my god, something seems wrong. It's just a blanket!
Compared to the two people's shock and confusion, Bai Miao was very calm.
The blanket was not moving very fast and the wind was not strong. After she calmed down in Bai Yu's arms, she started chatting with Qiqi.
After knowing each other for these few days, Qiqi also learned some of Bai Miao's words, so when they talked, they would sometimes use the words of this world and sometimes the words of another world, mixing them together.
Not only Bai Yu and Bai Xi were confused, but Qiqi's mother was also confused.
Asked several times, "What are you talking about?"
This allowed Bai Yu and Bai Xi to learn this sentence smoothly.
At the same time, the two gradually came back to their senses and realized that the blanket they were sitting on was the carriage of this dimension, except that the horse in this dimension was the person sitting in the front, while they were sitting in a carriage driven by a person flying in the sky.
"No problem."
"Yeah, no problem, it's just a flying carriage."
The two held each other's hands to give each other courage and tried hard to adapt to this "new carriage".
Fortunately, the speed of this "carriage" was not fast. After the shock subsided, the two gradually adapted to this "carriage". In addition to trying hard to hold on to each other to avoid falling, they finally had the mind to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
They originally thought that this plane was a grassland plane, but now it seems that this plane has basically nothing to do with the grassland. Apart from a large area of fire grass, there are many houses and residences nearby, and there are also many people.
In addition to their blanket, there were many other blankets flying in the sky, near and far. Some blankets had many people sitting on them like this one, while some blankets had only one or two people on them.
The closer you get to the market, the more blankets you see flying in the sky.
The blanket flew to the edge of the market and landed slowly.
After reaching the ground, everyone stood up and walked out of the blanket, talked to the one who "drove" the blanket, and then walked towards the market.
The three sisters didn't understand and were afraid that they wouldn't be able to go back because of poor communication, so they didn't dare to move around. They just followed Qiqi and her daughter and went to sell fire sticks with them.
Fire sticks are mainly sold by Qiqi. According to her, since adults cannot touch the fire grass, only very young children can pick the fire grass and make fire sticks.
The three of them set up their stall next to Qiqi, and waited for people to come.
The sales speed is even faster than expected.
Not long after the stall was opened, people came to buy, three or five each person, and soon all the fire sticks on the stall were sold out.
With this wave of selling, the three people's deposits increased by fifty-four coins.
Qiqi's mother came over at the right time and saw that they had sold all their things. She smiled and invited them to go shopping at the market together.
People were coming and going in the market. Bai Yu picked up Bai Miao and walked forward behind Qiqi's mother.
The things in the market looked strange and bizarre. There was meat that looked very strange, food that looked pitch black, and a man standing by drinking something, and the thing in his bowl was actually purple.
In comparison, the fabrics and ready-made clothes are relatively normal, similar to what they wear.
It’s a good thing it’s almost the same, otherwise they might attract too much attention if they came here.
Qiqi's mother bought a piece of blue meat, which cost twenty copper coins per pound. It was very expensive, but the three of them didn't buy it not because it was too expensive, but because the blue meat really didn't make them want to eat it.
Qiqi's mother used the small wooden jar she carried with her to buy water that cost ten cents a jar. The water was blue in color.
It’s better than the purple one, but the blue one doesn’t look very tasty either.
Fortunately, the salt is normal white.
But they have salt on hand now, so they don’t need to buy more for the time being. When they have used up the salt and there is no new salt available, they can come here to buy salt.
They have long been accustomed to living on the water. When they occasionally go ashore, they only buy some daily necessities and will not spend money on extra things.
This time, in addition to thread for sewing clothes, they also wanted to buy some ready-made meat. However, looking at the colorful meat on the stalls, they really had no intention of buying anything, so they simply pretended that they had never thought about buying meat.
Fortunately, the fabric here is normal.
Although the colors are rich and colorful, they can also find the color they want.
Bai Xi took out five copper coins and carefully selected a few threads of the same color as the fabric. Not only were they enough for making clothes this time, but they would also be enough for mending the clothes later if they were torn.
When I was about to leave, I saw some needles being sold nearby, so I took out two copper coins and bought a pack of needles.
"Our needles are all rusty now, and there's no grindstone on the boat. These new needles are perfect for making clothes." Bai Xi took the things out of the store and saw Qiqi's mother buying snacks with her daughter not far away. She was talking to Bai Miao, who was being held by Bai Yu, "Miao Miao, do you want to eat?"
Bai Miao looked at the stall not far away, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally asked a question: "Will it be delicious?"
Bai Yu & Bai Xi: ...
My sister has the same idea as them.
The three of them simply stopped moving and just watched the people over there buying snacks. They waited until they had sold all their snacks before going over and following them to the next store.
"Miaomiao."
Little Qiqi is willing to share. After buying some snacks, he gave one piece to Miaomiao.
Bai Miao looked at the bright green food in Qiqi's hand, and ate a piece of it with gritted teeth. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he turned his head and rubbed Bai Yu's shoulder hard.
Bai Yu reached out and quietly placed his hand next to her lips.
Bai Miao immediately spat out what was in his mouth, turned around as if he had eaten, and chatted with Qiqi with a smile.
When Qiqi wanted to share, she waved her hands repeatedly and firmly told Qiqi to eat it by herself using the language of this dimension. She finally persuaded Qiqi and she felt relieved.
It was the first time for Bai Yu and Bai Xi to see Bai Miao like this, and they both tried to hold back their laughter.
When Qiqi and her daughter were a little further away from them, Bai Yu asked her softly, so only the three of them could hear, "What's that smell?"
Bai Miao frowned and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a description: "The stinky fish turned sour, and it stayed in the water for a long time."
Bai Xi shuddered: "Oh my God, this smell is unbearable."
Bai Yu quickly handed Bai Miao's unfinished food to Bai Xi: "Hide it."
