Chapter 46 Chapter 46
Yumi was woken up by Lin En.
"We're almost at the Garbage Planet! Mimi, come and see!"
He opened his eyes hard, and was blinded by the bright light around him, which was the natural light coming from the window.
Rubbing his eyes, Yumi slid off the sofa and put on his shoes. He first glanced at Ansius and Carl who were sleeping, and seeing nothing unusual, he slowly walked to the window in front where a row of people were standing.
In addition to Lynn, Mike and Harvey were also there. They had obviously just woken up, their hair was a little messy, and they had some dark circles under their eyes, but at this moment they were all looking excitedly at the new world below.
Lin En brought him a stool in advance for him to stand on tiptoe, and Yumi stepped on the stool and joined the team to visit the garbage planet.
They are still a certain distance away from the garbage planet, and the view from the spacecraft before is just like that of a large area of white.
Yumi was puzzled: "Is everything on the garbage planet white?"
"No," A Luo came at this time, holding a pile of cotton clothes and explaining as he handed them out, "It's winter on Garbage Planet now. It must have snowed a while ago, covering the mountains and rivers... Hurry up and put on your cotton clothes, it will be very cold when we get there."
The cotton coats were brought by the starship, in standard Sna sizes. Yumi looked like a child wearing adult clothes. The hems were so long that she couldn't even roll up her sleeves, not to mention her hands. It was also very inconvenient to walk and she could easily trip over herself.
A Luo coughed a few times and said, "It's inconvenient for you to do this. I'll carry you down when we get to the ground."
Just as Yumi frowned and wondered whether to accept this suggestion, Linda also came. She handed Yumi a cotton coat that was obviously much smaller and rolled her eyes at her son: "Don't listen to that brat, Yumi, His Highness has asked someone to prepare your size in advance."
A Luo, whose abacus was broken: "..."
Yumi took off her big cotton coat and put on suitable clothes, feeling much more comfortable now.
An hour later, the starship landed on the most open ground on a farm.
Yumi learned from A Luo that this was the Ghost State of the Garbage Planet, the most chaotic area in the entire Garbage Planet. Perhaps because of this, it was the safest place for those of them who fled to the Sna Planet.
The farm was purchased by Ansius a long time ago. In order to avoid being discovered by the royal family, the farm he chose did not look like anything that any noble would buy. Not only was this farm not luxurious, it was even inferior to ordinary farms. It was old and dilapidated. The vacant pasture in the distance was half collapsed, and the farm was full of weeds... The living area was dotted with an old two-story country villa and two small wooden houses.
Most places are deserted.
Ye Xi and Harvey carried Ansius, Lin En and A Luo carried Carl, and the others followed with their luggage. The group of people walked in a mighty procession on the snow towards the villa with mottled walls over there.
Before they reached the door, a tall figure with gray skin ran out of the villa. Yumi was so scared that she stopped in her tracks. Ye Xi explained, "It's okay. He's a local who's guarding the house. There are many ferocious beasts, robbers, and thieves here... When there are no people living on the farm, they will find a local who's good at kung fu to look after the house."
Sure enough, the people over there ran towards them, confirmed each other's identities, and helped to carry the person.
When Yumi heard them say that the owner of the farm was named "Lamb", she was surprised for a moment, but then she thought that Ansius would definitely use a fake identity to buy the house, and the name must have been a random fake name.
It wasn't until they entered the house and the caretaker, under the guidance of Ye Xi, bent down and handed him the key chain of the farm that Yumi was completely dumbfounded.
The bunch of keys looked very heavy, and Lin En took it for Yumi in time.
After the guard completed his task and left, Ye Xi and his colleagues moved the patient into the bedroom for settlement.
When they came out, Yumi, who was full of questions, immediately asked Ye Xi: "Why did that person give me the key?"
"You are the only lamb here!" Ye Xi said as a matter of course, "His Highness Anxius bought the farm in your name, so you are the owner of the farm." Then he made another joke, "My family and I did not live in the Evil Ghost State before, and His Highness Anxius does not have any property here. If you are unhappy and kick us out one day, we will all be homeless!"
Yumi blushed at what he said, "It's not like that..." This is home for all of them.
Over there, Mike and Harvey were walking around the house and were very satisfied with the place.
The villa is very large. It must have been home to a large family and farm maintenance workers. It is fully equipped with daily necessities and can be easily cleaned and accommodated by all of them.
Ye Xi went to examine two patients.
Linda and A Luo went to the kitchen to prepare food first, while Yumi followed Lynn, MacKay and Harvey to clean the house. He was the smallest and many tools were difficult for him to use, so he simply took a rag and wiped the floor.
It was not dirty here. The caretaker usually cleaned the place. They just did some simple cleaning. As soon as they finished, Linda from the kitchen called them over to eat noodle soup.
It was freezing and snowy outside, but they gathered around the small stove in the kitchen, slurping hot noodles, feeling a sense of happiness as if they had survived a disaster.
Yumi needed the smallest amount of food, and he ate with great satisfaction from his small bowl. He thought it was just vegetarian noodles, but as he ate, he found a piece of delicious meat strip.
"There's meat!" He picked up a small piece of meat with surprise and showed it to everyone.
"It's pork from the garbage planet," Linda smiled tenderly at him, "The caretaker left a small piece that he didn't finish, so I chopped it into minced meat and fried it and cooked noodles, but everyone was wolfing it down, and only Yumi noticed it."
Yumi: “…” It doesn’t seem like it’s something to be proud of.
After filling his stomach, the next issue was life. Ye Xi looked at a few confused faces and held a small meeting in the kitchen.
"We will live here for a while, maybe a long time. For safety, it's best for everyone to use fake names." At this point, he smiled and said, "People on Garbage Planet are very casual in naming. You can see names like Apple and Orange. Everyone should follow the local customs and just call me Coconut from now on."
A Luo laughed.
Linda stroked a few peacock feathers in her hair and said, "Then I'll be called Peacock."
Mike and Harvey were too lazy to think of names, so they followed Linda's idea and named one Crocodile and the other Lion, which was very simple and crude.
Lynn started to follow suit: "Okay, I'm an octopus."
Yumi thought about it seriously, and then found that there was nothing to think about, so he said, "Then I will be called Lamb."
A Luo glanced at Yumi secretly and whispered, "My name is Mifen."
Yumi thinks rice noodles have the same meaning as apples and oranges, but others don't think so.
...What rice noodles? They are obviously fans of Mimi! Mei Kai, who realized A Luo's attributes after a while, said: I was careless!
The stove in the kitchen was very warm and no one wanted to move for a while, so Ye Xi continued to introduce the situation here to them.
Yumi listened carefully throughout the whole process, and finally, he carefully summarized the following:
Compared to the main city of the Garbage Planet, the population here is smaller and ferocious beasts often appear, but the local Garbage Planet people are also very ferocious.
There are a few exiled Sna people and most of the Junk Star natives scattered here. The Junk Star people are very similar to the Sna people. They also have both original form and human form, but the original form is much more brutal.
Life here is very inconvenient. Shops, hospitals and schools are only in the town. However, it takes at least three hours to drive from here to the town. There are no private aircrafts here, and the common means of daily transportation is cars.
So if you want to buy necessities, your best option is to go to a nearby market organized by locals where you can buy or sell items.
Their farm is probably located in a very rural area with no internet at all. If they want to access the internet, they can only go to the market, but the internet in the market is also very slow, so there are privately contracted internet cafes near the market.
The Internet cafe was not a room where everyone sat with their own computer to play games as Yumi remembered. Instead, it was a pile of benches placed under a large shed where people went to surf the Internet using their own optical computers.
Those who choose to go to the Internet cafe are basically the exiled Sna people. After all, the garbage people who can buy optical computers will not live in this area... Of course, there will also be a small number of locals who buy the Sna people's optical computers at a low price.
In addition to raising animals, hunting is a major source of meat for the locals. If necessary, they may also participate in hunting in the future...
When Yumi heard Ye Xi say this, he was terrified and looked at Lin En and the others. Lin En and the others had completely different reactions from him and seemed to find it very interesting.
Although Lin En used to live in a slum, life in the main city of Sna Star is very convenient. He had never hunted since he was born until he left. When he heard about hunting, the wildness in his original form awakened, and he looked eagerly expectant.
The same is true for Maccabee and Harvey.
Yumi: “…”
He was still not keen on hunting, but Yumi also thought of some business opportunities. The town was too far away, so he could sell things at the market in the future.
Mei Kai obviously thought of this as well, rubbing his hands and saying, "Mimi, we have already achieved great success on the Snark Planet, and it is only a matter of time before we conquer the people on the Garbage Planet!"
Ye Xi had heard his son talk about selling stinky tofu with Yumi on the starship. He had eaten their stinky tofu before, so he was drooling when he heard this. However, now is not as good as it was back then on Sina Star. The raw materials for making stinky tofu may not be easy to get here, and stinky tofu is not a common food. We have to prevent it from being exposed, so we have to think about it carefully... Mei Kai obviously thought of this at this time and sighed, "In fact, we can also set up a stall to sell other things. It's a stall anywhere anyway!"
Ye Xi smiled and said, "After we have rested, we can go to the market to have a look."
Everyone was tired and now just wanted to have a good rest, eat and drink, chat for a while, and then go back to their own rooms to sleep yawning.
Back in Anxius' room, Yumi noticed at a glance that the bandaged hand was trembling slightly. He immediately ran over and just as he touched the other's hand, before he called Ye Xi, the hand returned to calm.
“…”
Just like on the starship, holding his hand, there was no more fear.
Yumi, who had already decided to look after Ansius, had no reason to leave.
Fortunately, the bed here is very big, made according to the body shape of most garbage aliens. Anxius is only 1.9 meters tall now, which is a tall body shape among humans. Two human-sized people sleeping on this big bed is enough. However, Yumi was afraid that Anxius would be crushed when she fell asleep, so she found a big pillow and placed it between the two of them as a partition, and lay in another quilt.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at the garbage planet, and it was probably evening when they went to sleep. They slept until the early morning of the next day. At about six o'clock, Yumi opened his eyes.
The air was cold, even colder than yesterday, and Yumi shrank back into bed as soon as she got out of bed, shivering.
Ye Xi got up earlier, as if he had expected his situation, and knocked on the door to ask if he was awake.
Yumi thought he was here to see Ansius, so she let him in.
After entering the room, Ye Xi glanced at the unconscious "mummy", turned around, opened the closet and rummaged through it for a while, and finally found a small cotton jacket, which was obviously Yumi's size. This cotton jacket was thicker and softer. He handed it to Yumi and said, "I forgot to tell you yesterday that His Highness Anxius put all the clothes you need here in the closet in advance."
...Did you know that he would come to the garbage planet so early?
After a moment of hesitation, Youmi quickly put it on. It was very warm, fluffy and soft, and very comfortable. The only downside was that it made her look like a ball when she put it on.
Youmi got out of bed and followed Ye Xi out. When he reached the hall, he found that most of the others were awake.
Lynn and the other young men were repairing the fireplace. It was really too cold here and life was really miserable without a fireplace.
Yumi was also eager to have a warm environment, he ran over to help, but he was unable to help and got his face covered in dust. Lin En laughed softly: "Mimi has turned into a little black cat!"
Yumi also smiled foolishly, and in order not to make trouble, he went outside with a dark face, ready to get familiar with his new home.
He didn't dare to walk too far, so he just wandered around the villa, leaving behind a series of small footprints that were significantly different from others.
The garbage planet covered with snow looked very clean, pure white and beautiful, and did not fit the word "garbage" at all. Yumi put his hands in his pockets, looking at the new world in front of him. Just at this moment, a small fat white bird flew away from the sky, landed on a branch, looked down at him, eyes full of curiosity.
Yumi greeted him, "Hello, little fat bird."
The little fat bird was shocked. Looking at this little man who looked like he had a head on a ball, he angrily retorted, "Chirp chirp!!!"
You are the little fat bird, you are round!
Yumi was delighted: Are you saying hello to me? So friendly, the animals on the garbage planet are really friendly...
At noon, Carl woke up. Although he was very weak, the first thing he did when he woke up was to see Yumi.
When Yumi heard that he woke up, she rushed into his room immediately.
Seeing that the person was fine, Carl smiled with relief, as if he didn't care at all that he had left the Sna Planet.
Yumi also grinned in relief, she had a lot to say, but now her heart was full and she couldn't say anything.
Not long after Karl woke up, he fell into a coma again. Ye Xi said this was normal. His previous injuries were serious and it would take a month or so for him to recover completely.
Antheus was still in a coma, and Yumi wandered between the two rooms all day.
In the evening, Carl woke up again and ate a little, all vegetarian porridge.
Yumi was afraid that he would not be able to get used to such a simple life, so she kept reassuring him: "Don't worry, Carl, there are abundant supplies here, and there are many wild animals. It's just that there is not enough food at the moment. When we are ready, we will go hunting."
Karl was stunned and looked at his small body: "...You are going too?" He was sure that Ye Xi didn't have the courage to bring Yumi with him.
"Yes." Yumi nodded shyly. He didn't think he was bragging at all. Even if he didn't have the strong hunting skills of Ansius, as a human, his trap-making skills were still good! If there was a real shortage of meat, he could definitely get some meat for the patient!
Karl was stunned for a while, and before he could digest the news, he fell asleep again.
Before dark, Yumi and Lynn, the farmers, went out together. They were going to get to know the farm in depth.
The vegetable fields and the houses where the animals were kept were all carefully checked. Although Yumi's optical computer could not connect to the Internet, it could still take pictures. After taking the pictures, Yumi went back to plan to buy seeds and animal cubs for breeding in the future...
The second day on the Garbage Planet passed very quickly, but Yumi had not seen the dancing ants yet, probably because the weather was too cold.
At night, it was pitch black outside and occasionally the roars of wild beasts could be heard from afar. Yumi curled up in the quilt and dared not make a sound.
In fact, it’s okay to make a sound, as the wild animals here won’t easily run into residential areas.
But it's easy to think a lot in an unfamiliar environment. Yumi thought about it again and again, from wild beasts to evil spirits. Could there really be ghosts in the Evil Ghost State? Just thinking like this, he fell asleep because he was too sleepy. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the urge to urinate, so he quietly got up to go to the toilet.
I was a little scared, so I held the flashlight and shrank my neck.
It was very cold at night, and he wrapped himself thickly before leaving the bed.
After finishing her work in the bathroom, Yumi immediately trotted back to the bed. As soon as she climbed onto the bed, she noticed a burning gaze.
!
Yumi looked over stiffly.
...Fortunately, it wasn’t a ghost, it was Anxius.
He didn't know when he woke up. His body was lying there, but his eyes were staring at him motionlessly.
Yumi quickly climbed onto the bed. He crawled closer and whispered, "Are you awake?" His tone was surprised, and his eyelashes were fluttering, still a little dazed.
“…”
Looking at the bun-like person in front of him, Ansius's breathing seemed to stop. After a few seconds, the golden eyes flickered slightly, as if they were beginning to wake up. The man stretched out his arms and hugged Yumi.
