Chapter 437: Simple Food



I also hurried over to help her up. When she saw me coming, she immediately fell down because she was in a hurry to step back. Yunwen was so smart that she saw it immediately and said, "Zhou Bo, I think you'd better stay still, otherwise Miss Su won't be able to get up today."

Although I don't understand what it means, it seems to be the truth. She fell twice when she saw me, so I'd better not act rashly.

But at this time Lingshang hurriedly scolded Yunwen, "Sister, don't say such frivolous words to the witch, apologize quickly."

Yunwen was stunned, but looking at this scene, there is a large army of spiders, plus there are many royal scarecrow attendants, her status does look noble, people are under the eaves, and now they need help, she can only pout and say: "Sorry, Miss Su, I didn't pay attention to my mouth, please don't blame me."

"No, no, no, you are the city lord's wife, how can I blame you? Besides, you are right. I fell down today. It is really embarrassing and rude to always be like this in front of the city lord. I hope you don't mind." Su Yuexi said.

As she spoke, she would secretly glance at me from time to time, her eyes filled with a fiery look.

In order to prevent her from falling again, I did not go closer to help. After Yunwen and Lingshang helped her up, she led the way and took us to a cave in front. The cave had a door and a front, and a horizontal plaque was hung on it. It was called Bauhinia Cave. There was another world inside the cave, with tables, chairs, benches, gold, silver, jade, beds, containers, sinks, etc. There was also a kitchen stove for cooking, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a lot of calligraphy and paintings and books on the cabinets and tables.

Yunwen saw it and couldn't help but admire it. This place is really a treasure. However, some of the books are in Chinese, while others are not. They are written in some strange characters. The book on the table, with a fallen leaf specimen as a bookmark, is a book with distorted characters. It seems that she has learned everything from ancient times to the present, and is proficient in Chinese and foreign characters. She is an intellectual.

The tables, chairs and benches here are so strange that they are not made by human labor. They all look like natural creations, as if some kind of tree was deliberately grown into a square table, a bench, or a container. There is no trace of human intervention at all. I don't know if this girl has superb skills or if she really has some kind of uncanny ability.

"Wait for me here for a moment." Su Yuexi said.

We nodded, so she bowed and went to the kitchen deep in the cave. She came out after a while and sat around the table with us. I asked Yunwen to take out the prepared gift early. After she came back, Yunwen stood up and handed it to her, saying a few flattering words. After all, there was no special packaging box, but it was wrapped in lotus leaves, and Yunwen packed it with a special beautiful knot. Su Yuexi was full of joy after taking it.

Just saying that you are too polite or something like that!

As they were chatting, they saw a few scarecrows bringing out some food from the house. There were fresh fruits, including dragon fruit, longan and banana, which are all foods that only grow in the tropics. There was also honey and osmanthus tea, and even glutinous rice cakes, which were all excellent snacks. She also specially gave Yunwen a cup of red dates, brown sugar and pheasant egg water, saying that it was for her to nourish her body and it was very nourishing just by smelling it.

The canned food we ate last night were not fresh and contained chemical additives. But today's food is all natural food, and the taste and quality are very different. As we sipped tea and ate snacks, I couldn't help but satisfy my appetite, feel fuller, and have more energy to talk. I can say that I have finally recovered.

"Is it to your liking, Lord City Lord?" Su Yuexi asked.

I put down the glutinous rice and red date cake in my hand, pinched my neck, and quickly drank a mouthful of tea to smooth my esophagus. After swallowing, I nodded and said, "It suits my appetite very well. Thank you Miss Su for entertaining us."

"This is nothing. You are willing to bring the ladies to see me, and your wife also gave me such a beautiful silver necklace and gave me such a great face. I should be grateful to you, the City Lord. As for these hastily prepared foods, as long as you don't dislike them, there is no need to thank me." Su Yuexi said.

I was about to continue to be polite, but this time we came here for a matter of life and death. If I keep talking, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Time is precious, and the situation seems to be almost over, so I said, "Miss Su, actually, we came here this time to ask for your help. The evil dragon destroyed our crops before, and the mermaids were scared and dared not go out to sea. Now there is a shortage of food in the city, and the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, so I came to find you and wanted to ask if you have any way to help solve one or two problems."

Su Yuexi opened her eyes wide when she heard this. I thought she would feel embarrassed, but she said excitedly, "I see. I've been bored these days and couldn't find a suitable reason to go to the city to find you. Now that I have something to do, I have a good reason to go out and relax, and also to visit Dragon City."

"Miss Su, there is a famine in the city now. Visitors are welcome at any time, but if the people in the city keep staying like this, I'm afraid the visit won't be very satisfying. Do you have any way to help us find suitable food? Or can you arrange some for us to lend, and we will return them in full after our wheat and potatoes grow." Yunwen said.

"Don't worry, Madam City Lord. I will certainly not go there just to play. Since the City Lord has asked me for help, I will be ready to go. I am going there to help the City Lord and Madam relieve their worries. I am going there to help them find a way to solve the famine problem." Su Yuexi said.

"What does Miss Su plan to do? After all, the food issue is urgent now." Yunwen said.

"I don't grow much food on a daily basis, it's enough for my own consumption. Even if there is any surplus, it's just for storage. If you want me to supply food to the thirty or forty mouths in the city, I'm afraid I can't do it for the time being. But I have a way. First, I will borrow some food to make up for the food shortage in these three days. Then I will find the nectar of life and put it on the crops. Then they will be able to grow for several months within three days. Then you can return some of the food to me and I'll be done with it." Su Yuexi said.

"The nectar of life? What you mean is..." Ling Shang couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, little fox. The nectar of life is the holy water worshipped by the Xidao tribe. But don't worry, I have something that can be exchanged with their high priest. Only half a cup is needed, and the plants will grow rapidly, dozens of times faster than usual. This is because the holy water has all the life energy the plants need, so they can fully germinate and grow, directly skipping the accumulation process." Su Yuexi said.

"But I heard that the Xidao tribe is a force that cannot be mentioned. Lady Witch, isn't it too risky?" Ling Shang asked.

Having said that, Su Yuexi stood up, holding the table with her hands, looking up, and then turned her face away, as if thinking about something. After a while, she turned around again, her smile seemed a little far-fetched, and said, "It's okay, as long as I can help the city lord."

From her expression, I could see a lot of helplessness and worry. I guess even she was a little uneasy about the West Island area. What kind of area would that be? I dare not imagine it. I only know that the prison area is scary enough, but when Su Yuexi took me there for the first time, she didn't hesitate at all. When we got there, she seemed a little hasty, except when she was on guard against the Shi Ke. But at other times, she seemed calm and composed, without such hesitation.

It seems that the so-called West Island is really an area that everyone is afraid of.

But in this area, why did Bai Lu dare to escape to where on her own? The only possibility of going there was that she would become a pile of bones in the rotten soil. There was really no other possibility.

"By the way, since you are going to West Island, why don't you take Yunwen and I with you? After all, my husband and I were stung on the arms by the devil fly, and we may need an antidote. So my arrangement is that the three of us go together, and Lingshang, you stay in the city to help look after them." I said.

"What? You were stung!" Su Yuexi shouted.

Ling Shang sighed, and Yunwen and I opened the black expanded area to show Su Yuexi. She was relatively calm at first, but after seeing the black poison, she couldn't help but take several steps back, her expression was distracted, and she muttered something.

Listening carefully, she said: "It's terrible. Those descendants of demons have to deal with them. It's not something that can be solved with a piece of purple gold feather. Alas..."
