Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 102
The knock on the door sounded as if it was a good deal, and I opened the door ahead of the boy, and it was still the boy, seeing that we had finished eating the steamed buns, he smiled and said: "The village chief is right, you guys You will definitely like this steamed bun.”

As he spoke, he reached for the tray, and his face collapsed when he saw the untouched side dishes: "This is the best side dish in our village, why don't you eat it?"

"Hehe, we are all starving to death. We grab the steamed buns and gnaw them. How can we be in the mood to eat side dishes?" I smiled, and the boy let out a oh but his expression was still a little displeased. There are no steamed buns.

Then the boy raised his face and said, "Yes, you wait."

After speaking, he put the tray in my hand again, and ran away in a hop.I stared at him, and saw him enter a room not far from us, and he came out with a tray in a short while, with two big bowls of white flour steamed buns on it, even if it was a few meters away from me, I seemed to smell the steamed buns The smell made me swallow my saliva.

The boy handed us the steamed buns and said slowly, "This time, you should eat slowly with side dishes."

"Definitely!" I took the steamed bun and nodded under the boy's expectant gaze.

The boy smiled and was about to leave when Yazai approached him and asked his name.

The boy looked at Yazai vigilantly, and Yazai let out an ouch: "It's not because you saved my life. Look, if it wasn't for your steamed buns, I might starve to death. I don't think so." I'll bring you some delicious food after we go down the mountain. You haven't eaten the delicious food outside, have you? Tsk tsk, it's much better than white flour steamed buns. What kind of beef, candied haws, pastry, you I'll give you whatever you want to eat."

After all, it is a child. When Yazai said this, he licked his lips involuntarily, but he suppressed his desire, smiled and asked us to eat with side dishes again, then turned his head and left.

"This kid is interesting." Yazai looked at the boy's back and touched his chin: "Hey, I like it!"

I rolled my eyes, he looked like he was flirting with a little girl, it gave me a chill.

We closed the door again, and Lao Yan asked Kunbu to see if there was anything wrong with the side dishes. After reading it, the latter shook his head and said that there were no problems with the steamed buns and side dishes.

"Then what does this kid mean by telling us to eat together?" Miss Qiu held a steamed bun in one hand and a small black vegetable in the other, with a disgusted expression on her face.

"I don't know." I shook my head: "But if you want to harm us, this reminder is too obvious! I think it's probably intentional to make us flustered."

Although we have analyzed a lot, we have to say that their goal has been achieved, and we are indeed a little bit entangled in whether to eat it with side dishes.

In the end, it was Miss Qiu who threw the side dish into her mouth; "I'm coming, I want to see what kind of tricks they are playing."

Before we could react, he poured a few dishes of side dishes into his mouth with steamed buns, and swallowed them with disgust: "It's really unpalatable."

"Xiaoqiu, you... what if something happens?" Lao Yan disapproved.

Miss Qiu said nonchalantly that it was better than having an accident together.

The side dish matter was settled, we ate some of the remaining steamed buns and kept some. After all, no one knows what the people in this village want to do, so we always have to save some rations for ourselves.

The boy stood at the door again, the joy on his face was obvious when he saw that the side dishes were empty, and then he said mysteriously, "Don't go out in the afternoon for a while."

Afterwards, he ran away with a tray at a very fast speed. The boy said that half of the candied haws was stuck in his mouth, and he said angrily: "This kid is being chased by a ghost."

"Afternoon..." Lao Yan repeated the boy's words, then looked at Kumbu, the old fox's eyes lit up: "Is your medicine working?"

Kunbu looked at the sky outside, and said softly: Just wait...

We just waited like this, watching if Miss Qiu was okay, and paying attention to the condition of the villagers.

After about half an hour, Kumbu's medicine finally took effect. I watched a strong man fall down while walking outside the window, followed by the second...

"It's almost there. I'll go and have a look. You guys just stay here." Ten minutes after the first strong man fell, Kumbu got up and walked out.

Lao Yan said to let me follow, Kumbu glanced at me and didn't object, but looked at Lao Yan curiously, as if he didn't understand why he asked me to follow?

To be honest, I didn’t really understand it, and I didn’t realize it until a long time later. In fact, since I was brought into 701, Lao Yan treated me differently. It seemed that I had made a decision from the very beginning.

Kumbu led me swaggeringly through the village, and all I could see were villagers who had fallen to the ground.

Our purpose was very clear, we went directly to the room where the boy brought out the steamed buns just now.This room was relatively small among the other rooms. We opened the curtain and walked in, only to see the old man standing on the high platform lying down on the chair at the moment, and the boy who brought us steamed buns was lying upside down on the ground beside him.

"Is this old man the village head?" I walked around the old man and murmured.

Kumbu nodded, and then made a movement that surprised me. I saw him bend down and pick up the little boy who was sleeping on the ground, put it under his arm, and went out.

Afterwards, he took the boy between his arms and took me for a walk around the village. He didn't seem to have done anything, and then he returned to the house where we lived.

I looked at Kumbu in a daze, wanting to ask something but didn't know where to start, but Lao Yan patted my shoulder to remind me if I saw something.

"No..." I was a little ashamed, presumably Lao Yan asked me to go out to let me study, but I really didn't understand what I could find if I just went out for a walk like this?
Lao Yan didn't make things difficult for me, but raised his chin at Kumbu: "You come and tell this kid."

Hearing that Kumbu glanced at Lao Yan, the surprise in his eyes was very obvious, but the surprise lasted for less than a second, and then he returned to his expressionless expression.

He put the boy in his arms on the ground, knelt down and patted the boy's face: "Stop pretending, you're not poisoned."

Not poisoned?
I looked at the little boy in surprise, Kumbu had carried him a lot on the way, and I didn't notice anything unusual.

Lao Yan patted my shoulder again, motioning for me to continue watching.

After what Kumbu said, the boy still didn't respond. If he wasn't still breathing like that, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was dead.

"If you keep pretending, I won't be able to save the whole village." Kumbu seemed a little impatient, and was about to get up as soon as he finished speaking.

At this moment, his sleeve was caught, and the boy who was just like a dead man stared wide-eyed: "You save them..."

Kumbu pulled off his sleeve, and took a look at Lao Yan.Lao Yan took over his job with a grin, and smiled at the little boy in a seductive tone and said: "Little friend, whether you want to save it or not depends on whether what you said is worth it or not. We will take action!"

I watched the interaction between the two of them, and suddenly understood why Lao Yan asked me to follow Kumbu, because he could easily recognize the boy's disguise, but I didn't get anything along the way.I even suspect that Kumbu saw more than just the boy's disguise. Looking back now, the route he took me from the village was also regular.

When Lao Yan picked me for the first time, it was because I knew how to rescue people in the desert, including my observation ability, but compared with Kumbu now, it seems that it is far from enough!
"Hey, let's not talk about you, the whole 701 can't compare with Kunbu." Miss Qiu put her hand on my shoulder and said chicly.

I knew she was comforting me, so I smiled at her and listened attentively to what Lao Yan and the little boy were talking about.

"What do you want to ask?" The little boy looked vigilant, and his words were unusually mature.
