Chapter 48 Chapter 48
After a few seconds of silence, Yumi's head was half lifted up by Ansius, and then a brand new glass tube full of liquid was opened and placed to his lips.
Yumi knew that it was the nutritional supplement he had drunk before. He shyly opened his mouth and took a sip. The nutritional supplement was not very sweet and tasted very refreshing. He did not dare to drink more. When he felt his mouth wet, he immediately turned his head away: "...Thank you, you are so nice."
“…”
The eyes beneath the bandages stared at him, her breathing became shallow, and she gently fed the nutrient in her hand into his mouth.
...Give it back? How can I do that? Yumi shook her head in a falsely polite way. After being forced to take a mouthful, she said with an expression of "You don't like it? Okay, I'll help you solve it." She gulped down a few mouthfuls and drank it all.
He licked his lips and quickly retreated back into the bed.
It turns out that laziness is addictive.
Yumi didn't know that his body was affected by his skills. He loved eating recently, but his physical strength and energy were not as good as before. He thought it was due to the severe winter here.
The next day, while tidying up the house next to the farm with her companions, Yumi found a bag of stored chestnuts inside, most of which were in good condition and edible.
Everyone who had nothing to do suddenly had a new activity. They gathered around the stove to roast chestnuts.
The weather was cold, but it was warm around the stove. Yumi felt dizzy as she peeled off the cracked shells, ate the sweet and hot chestnuts, and drank a sip of hot tea.
Ansius recently knitted a scarf for him that can cover half of Yumi's face and neck. Yumi wears it wherever he goes. When he gets hot, he takes off the scarf and uses it as a small blanket, lying on a chair to rest.
It was actually a normal-sized wooden chair, but to Yumi, it was the size of a recliner, completely big enough for her entire body to lie down.
When Lin En and his friends saw him sleeping with his eyes closed after finishing his meal, they immediately signaled each other and lined up to quietly rock his chair.
The wooden chair turned into a rocking chair after a while. Yumi in the rocking chair was not afraid. He knew that his friends were playing a joke on him and he hummed with enjoyment.
So, after not seeing Yumi for a long time, Ansius, who was leaning against the wall, would see his little baby being coaxed to sleep by a group of tall and strong young men playing house and fighting for the rocking chair...
Sometimes there are conflicts:
"It's obviously my turn!"
"You're too strong, you'll scare people awake!"
"I'll roast chestnuts for you and serve you tea and water all day, and let me shake the water for a while?"
Antheus: “…”
Yumi didn't know that this winter, she would become the Sleeping Beauty fought over by a group of stay-at-home boys because of her sleepiness.
A few days later, the Ye Xi couple visited several local residents near the farm and got a basic understanding of the place. After confirming that they could live there for a long time, the couple led everyone to clean up the basement of the farm, pushed the starship that had transformed into the size of an aircraft into it, and finally locked the door to the basement.
This is a sign they won't be leaving any time soon.
After a few more days, Antheus and Carl had recovered well and no longer needed constant care.
A lot of food has been consumed at home, and Youmi is preparing to go to the market. In addition to stocking up on goods, she also wants to understand the situation at the market and make plans for future re-employment.
During his time on Planet Sna, Yumi received a lot of help. Now that he has come to the Garbage Planet where the living environment is relatively harsh, he also wants to do his best to make everyone around him live a good life.
Little Yumi has big ambitions!
After hearing this, Ye Xi wanted to go with them. After all, this was the first time for the children to go out in a completely unfamiliar place, so how could he let them go without worrying about it?
Finally, Linda and two patients who were unable to go out stayed behind, while Ye Xi took the children out to familiarize themselves with the situation and stock up on supplies.
They set out early in the morning, and all six of them wore gray cloaks, which Ye Xi had bought from the town earlier. They were common windproof cloaks in the local area and would not attract attention when worn.
The temperature outside was low, and everyone was dressed warmly. Yumi wore a puffy cotton jacket, a scarf, and a white woolen hat and gloves newly knitted by Ansius. Finally, she put on a cloak. After yawning, only two wet eyes were exposed on her body.
Ye Xi led them out of the farm, borrowed a bullock cart from a nearby farmer, and headed to the market.
Ye Xi was driving the car in front, and the five young men were sitting on the bumpy board, looking around excitedly. Sometimes when they saw a wild beast running through the mountains, they would shout in surprise. Only Youmi looked worried: "Won't that beast chase the car?" The appearance of a beast as big as a tiger, how could people not be worried?
Ye Xi, who was standing in front of him, heard it and immediately laughed, "It's just right that you're here. With so many of us, we can catch them right away and sell them at the market. We can get a lot of things in exchange!"
Yumi turned his head to look at his companions who were bigger than him, and then looked at their genuine monster features... He was worrying too much!
When they arrived at the place, Ye Xi left the ox cart in a parking lot. There were many cars and bicycles in it, but there were also quite a few ox carts and horse carts. It was like a gathering of transportation tools from different eras.
Before Yumi and the others could even sigh, they were attracted by the market ahead.
It's very lively here, with many stalls, all arranged very neatly, and selling a wide variety of items, including food, daily necessities, and even medicine. There are also doctors setting up stalls to treat patients on the spot...
After a tour, Yumi's impression of this place is: a lawless place.
The prices of items vary, so if you don’t want to be ripped off, you should look around more.
When they passed by a small stall selling toys, Yumido took a look and saw that most of the toys here were handmade, such as wooden horses and spinning tops. There were also a few exquisite dolls that looked like second-hand and should have been purchased at a low price from the Sna people.
Ye Xi stopped at the medicinal herb stall opposite the toy stall, pointed at several of the herbs, and bargained with the owner.
Yumi listened carefully and patiently learned bargaining skills. He came with cash - given to him by Ansius last night.
Anxius left a sum of cash in Junk Star currency on the farm, all locked in a cabinet. Last night, the other party handed the cabinet to him.
Yumi took over and consciously assumed the position of accountant, and that night she took out a small notebook and started to keep accounts.
After noticing his thoughts, Anxius was silent for a moment: "This is your own money, you don't need to spend it on others. It's for the expenses of all the farm staff. There is another sum of money with Ye Xi and his wife..." Seeing those puzzled eyes, he said awkwardly, "Mimi's last month's salary has not been paid yet, this is your money."
…It’s my own money, so it’s easier. If I use common expenses to do business, I’m afraid of losing money, but I can do whatever I want with my own money! Yumi excitedly continued to keep accounts!
Antheus: “…”
At the market, Yumi was seriously learning the bargaining skills of Junk Star, and didn't realize that he was being watched by a group of people. It was Lin En who first noticed something was wrong. He whispered, "There are a lot of people watching us."
Ye Xi instantly became alert and turned his head, and sure enough, he found that the owner of the stall opposite and several customers were staring at them... Oh no, they were staring at Yumi!
Ye Xi was about to lead his people away, but the stall owner across the street ran over to stop him as soon as he saw him: "Big brother, don't leave yet. Um... can I ask how much this lifelike doll you brought is? Are you selling it?"
Puppet?
Yumi looked around: Where are the lifelike dolls?
Ye Xi was speechless when he saw that these people treated Yumi as a lifelike doll, but he also breathed a sigh of relief because he was so scared that his hands were shaking.
The stall owner had no ill intentions. He really thought Ye Xi was selling lifelike dolls. Many of the dolls on his stall were purchased at low prices from some exiled Sna people. After being exiled, those living on Sna would bring a lot of luggage with them, and eventually they would sell some of them because of poverty.
However, this person's puppet was a masterpiece. Not only did it move, but its eyes were also very lively, as if it was alive! It was the first time they had seen such a beautiful puppet.
"No, I won't sell it. This is not a doll, it's my child!" Ye Xi looked very angry.
After the stall owner apologized, he picked up Yumi and walked quickly forward.
Lin En, Mei Kai and others also felt a sense of crisis because of this little episode, fearing that they would encounter human traffickers who would steal Yumi. When Yumi was put down by Ye Xi, they all surrounded him nervously, like a group of bodyguards.
After the misunderstanding about the doll was resolved, no one paid attention to this small boy anymore. After all, this was the exile place for many intelligent planets. In addition to the Snarkites and the Garbageites, there were occasionally some strange aliens. They might take a few more glances at first, but soon they would concentrate on selling goods.
Yumi also started a shopping spree. He and Mei Kai were in charge of selecting and bargaining, while the guys behind him were in charge of stuffing the goods into sacks and carrying them on their backs.
Yumi bought a batch of cold-resistant vegetable seeds. Winter would not pass quickly, and they could not always buy vegetables. They had to grow some themselves.
When spring comes, he plans to buy some chickens and ducks to raise...
After buying a batch of daily necessities such as food, oil, salt, etc., Youmi ran to buy wool with great interest.
Ansius was knitting in bed all day, and he thought the other party was using this to kill time, so he was kind enough to buy Ansius a batch of brightly colored balls of wool, enough for Ansius to knit for the whole winter!
The others hesitated to speak.
If they didn't know Yumi, they would probably think that Yumi was taking the opportunity to enslave the empire's impoverished crown prince.
A few hours later, everything on the list was bought and Yumi had spent a lot of the cash he brought. Logically, he had overspent, but when he passed by a snack stand, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Ye Xi knew he was greedy as soon as he saw him. The child was only eighteen years old, how could he not like snacks at this age? He walked over and bought several large bags of candied fruits, potato chips, and biscuits.
Yumi hurriedly stopped him, and he still remembered to call the other person's fake name: "Coconut, don't do so much, we can go back and do it ourselves."
Ye Xi smiled and shook his head: "In winter, we don't go out often. This is not much. We will finish it soon."
Youmi hurried to pay, but she was too small, and when she stood on tiptoe, Ye Xi had already paid.
After the shopping spree, the next step is to go to the Internet cafe - Ye Xi wants to go online to check the general situation of the royal family of Sna Star, and then report to Anxius when he returns.
He led the young men to a large shed in the distance, paid an hour's internet fee to each of them, and then each of them carried a bulging sack and found a group of stools connected together, and a group of people sat around to watch over the goods while surfing the Internet.
Yumi didn't have a sack on his back, he was carrying a large backpack, and after sitting down he put the backpack in front of him. Several people were sitting next to each other, feeling very safe.
While waiting to connect to the Internet, Yumi looked up and quietly observed this "Internet cafe". There were fewer Sna people than he had imagined. They basically did not use the various software on Sna. They either downloaded movies and games, or chatted with locals online... The exiled Sna people did not think that they would have a day to return. They did not care about the news from Sna, and they even resisted it.
Yumi downloaded a bunch of videos on agricultural and animal husbandry management, as well as various tips on managing a farm, to his computer, and downloaded a few small games before logging into the Sna Star's domain with his new account.
The war on the planet Sna has stopped, all the invading warships have been eliminated, and the whole process went very smoothly.
The emperor, citing the memory of Ansius, was not planning to appoint a crown prince for the time being. Netizens did not react much to this. After all, in their eyes, Joseph would be the crown prince sooner or later, and the Sna people had a long lifespan, so there was no rush.
However, the sudden invasion of the Fijians resulted in the casualties of several soldiers and civilians, and some were even killed.
When Yumi saw this, she knew that these people were the ones whose bodies were gone and should have been included in the death list.
Thinking of this, he clicked on the homepage of the Mi Daily account that he originally managed.
As he expected, everyone thought he was dead.
The comments on the latest stinky tofu news are all filled with mourning and crying emojis.
He felt uncomfortable watching it and quickly exited the homepage.
On the other side, Mei Kai also used a new account to check the news about Sna Star.
He entered the forum he used to stay in, and was stunned when he saw it.
The forum is full of posts about Yumi:
[It is said that Yumi's body was turned into powder, so pitiful]
[The appearance of the Feizhi aliens this time was too sudden and too abominable! The unlucky Yumi was attacked nearby. The mall was bombed hard and all the surveillance cameras were broken. We don’t know where Yumi died in the end...]
【Can't you just look for it again? 】
[The battleship of the Feizhi people was also hit by His Majesty Joseph's battleship and crashed in the mall. Except for the underground shelter, the entire mall was reduced to ashes. Not to mention Yumi who failed to enter the shelter, even the aliens on the battleship were reduced to ashes... In this case, the remains cannot be found at all.]
Mei Kai bit her lip and continued reading.
This forum was originally unpopular, and it became popular almost entirely because of Yumi. Most people in it are fans of Yumi, and almost all news about Yumi can be found here.
After the planet Sna returned to peace, some people began to prepare for Yumi's funeral.
Since Yumi has no family, after hearing the news of her death, fans spontaneously bought a plot of land for her in a cemetery in the suburbs. The plot is not big, but for Yumi's body, it can be considered a luxurious plot of land.
Photos from the day of the sacrifice circulated on the Internet.
In front of the tombstone is the cat doll that Yumi first gave to her fans.
Fans brought flowers and tea eggs to commemorate the event, and everyone cried bitterly.
In addition, there is another related news. The reporter interviewed a disabled Sna alien who was in the same shopping mall as Yumi when the battleship appeared.
The man used the interaction between Yumi and disabled Louis in "It's Okay to Be Different" to imagine that Louis fell in love with Yumi and was going to meet him at the mall that day, but that's what happened...
“There is a shelter near the mall. Everyone reacted quickly and basically everyone was saved…” The disabled Sna star choked with red eyes, “After I entered the shelter, I looked for Yumi inside, but I couldn’t find him… Later I heard that the little guy ran slowly and seemed to have been squeezed and fell down, and he might have died… I, I didn’t believe it, so I went out when it was safe, and I only saw a ruin… He was so small, how did he survive in the end…” The man began to break down and cry.
Mei Kai couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Even though he knew Yumi was alive and well, as a die-hard fan, he couldn't help but cry when he thought of the scene described by the man.
Fortunately, they are all alive and well.
At this moment, he was particularly glad that he chose to get on the aircraft, otherwise he might have been like those people, believing that Yumi had left this world forever.
Continuing to read on, after fans confirmed that the remaining members of the stinky tofu chef class were also completely missing, they knew that they had all died in the disaster, so they built four new graves near Yumi's grave, hoping that this way the people underground would not be alone.
Except for Mei Kai, the rest of Mimi's chef class naturally also saw their graves on Star Sna. They looked at each other and remained silent.
No one can laugh when they are in the situation.
...Thank you, friendly strangers. Maybe they will come back in their lifetime. I hope we will see them again.
Yumi calmed down and added Brewer's account as a netizen. He also gave himself a name that would not be suspicious at first glance: AAA Farm, where you can reserve top-quality goats
Bruel over there was bored to death recently, and he just slacked off on the Internet every day. When he saw the name of the new account, he knew it was him and asked immediately: [How is the sheep? ]
Yumi also cleverly signaled: [Everything is healthy, how are you doing recently? Do you want some? ]
[I've been having a lot of heat lately, bring me a fat goat next time! ]
[Okay! ^-^]
After checking in with Bruer that he was safe, the time had come and the newcomer was waiting for his stool. Yumi turned off the light computer, moved away, and walked out with his companions.
Passing by a fragrant roasted sweet potato stall, Youmi bought a portion of hot roasted sweet potato for everyone, and the other three were for the ones at home.
The young men in cloaks carried the sacks onto the oxcart, first carrying Yumi, then jumping onto the cart and eating the roasted sweet potatoes together. The oxcart was swaying forward, and Yumi didn't hold the sweet potatoes firmly, so he swayed forward and the soft sweet potatoes stuck to his mouth. When he looked up, he saw that all the boys were staring at him.
Yumi smiled with a bright yellow mouth and said, "I'm playing with sweet potatoes, you guys can try it too." She is quite good at making excuses for herself.
Several people looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
Yumi blushed and wiped her mouth quickly.
After returning, Youmi found that her face was a little red. This time it was not because she was shy. Her face was cold, but still as red.
Linda knew what was going on at a glance: "Your skin is tender, not as rough and thick as those people. You can't even see the red blood streaks on their faces... It's okay, this is normal. When I first came to Garbage Planet, Ye Xi and I both had frostbite on our faces. You should apply antifreeze perfume more often in the future."
As she spoke, Linda gave each person a box of antifreeze incense, reminding them to apply it every day, otherwise they would get frostbite and feel uncomfortable.
It was almost time to go to bed, and Yumi brought her and Ansius's antifreeze incense into the room: "Ansius, this is yours. After you remove the bandage, remember to apply it every day." Yumi put the box she gave him on the table.
Antheus heard their recent conversation when he was in the room, stared at his face for a while, and asked him to come over.
Yumi walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The light here is not good, Ansius said, "Show me your face."
Yumi thought he was curious about her red face, so she bent down and handed her face to him: "It's red bloodshot. I didn't wear a scarf properly when I was surfing the Internet today. Just apply some antifreeze perfume and it will be fine."
The other person lowered his eyes and looked at his face, his lips tightly pursed.
Yumi turned her face to show her red cheeks and went to wash up. When she came back, Ansius was still awake, but he had obviously gotten out of bed and was holding a box of antifreeze incense in his hand.
Yumi had just taken a shower and was feeling cool in her pajamas. She immediately got into bed and leaned against Ansius's fiery body.
There was a rustling sound from above. He looked up in confusion and was immediately shocked: "What are you doing?"
Ansius was actually tearing off the bandage on his hand!
“…Don’t move.”
Just as Yumi was about to get up, a pale big hand touched her cheek. The hand quickly left, took a wet towel and wiped the hand back and forth several times, then opened the box of antifreeze incense, scooped some out and smeared it on Yumi's face.
The force of rubbing his face was just right, and from time to time he would rub his neck and cervical vertebrae along his face. Yumi was soon dizzy from the rubbing. This massage was too real. He really couldn't resist it, but he was still saying, "Can the bandage be taken off? Shouldn't I rest well? Is this really okay?"
Ansius' voice was muffled: "My hands are healed now, I can knit sweaters, why can't I wipe my face?"
Yumi: That sounds reasonable.
"Are you feeling comfortable?" Antheus asked.
"Comfortable..." Yumi said in a low voice. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to roll around. His eyes, which were originally a little tired, were wet from the massage. He wanted to say more but stopped.
Yumi was enjoying it at first, but after glancing at the bandages on the other person's body, she suddenly remembered that she was actually enjoying the service of a patient!
Then I thought again, it seemed that I didn't take care of Ansius when he was sick. Even when he took a medicinal bath and changed his bandages at night, I didn't let him enter the bathroom... But I knitted various things for him during his convalescence... Now it's time for him to rest, and I can even give him a massage!
From this perspective, why does the character he plays seem a bit like a bad-intentioned caregiver?
Yumi, feeling guilty, tried to get up. As soon as she arched her body upward, she was immediately pushed back into the warm bed by the strong hands. Ansius said in a hard voice, "Don't move."
Yumi, who was already lazy, had his conscience just rising up and retreated: That's what you said.
In order to avoid being condemned by her conscience, Yumi chose to close her eyes.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
Twenty minutes later, Ansius saw Yumi turning around like a compass in her sleep and stretching her feet over again. After a few seconds, she seemed dissatisfied with not having her feet massaged, so she placed her feet directly in his palm.
"..."Anxius froze and gripped the feet tightly.
Youmi: The foot bath in my dream is so useful, it even has a massage function!
…
After a half-night of top-notch beauty massage, the next morning, Yumi got up and washed up, and found that her skin in the mirror had no red bloodshot. She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but her skin felt as soft as a baby’s, like the elastic skin of the stars in the skin care product advertisements...
My feet that were sore from walking around the market yesterday don’t hurt anymore, and my whole body feels light!
It's a magical massage~
Looking in the mirror, Yumi tilted her head and pinched her face, and sighed in a rebellious manner: The effect is remarkable after only one course of treatment, Ansius's skills are really good, I can go for a beauty treatment!
