The aircraft went all the way forward and flew back to the base according to the route that originally arrived here.
When passing by the place where the fog beast was killed before, Bai Luoluo noticed that the clean puddle on the ground that was originally on the ground had disappeared, leaving only a desolation.
Bai Luoluo asked curiously, "How do new humans drink water now?"
"We have people who have developed the ability of the water system, and some high-end technologies for storing water sources. This is the new type of water we carry." Li Qianqian answered Bai Luoluo's question, she said, "The number of new people in the water system. It's a lot...so there's plenty of water."
Bai Luoluo said: "Then you don't have plant-based abilities?"
"Of course there are, but although the plant system can produce green plants for a while, the conditions for those green plants to exist are relatively harsh." Li Qianqian said, "And the power users don't have as much energy to support them for too long."
It turned out that, Bai Luoluo nodded thoughtfully.
When they went to the base this time, although they didn't find anything more valuable before, they found a pistol and a scale, but the harmonica that the monster gave Li Qianqian in the end was a very rare thing.
According to Li Qianqian, the price of this harmonica may be similar to that of the heavy sniper shot by Li Guanshan last time.
After arriving home, Bai Luoluo could finally take off his heavy clothes and put on a thin T-shirt and pants.
The three of them had a good rest for a day before meeting again in the living room.
Bai Luoluo slept in the dark, and was finally woken up by Mo Tuo. The big cat was lying on top of him, wagging its tail excitedly, and washing Bai Luoluo's face with a pink tongue full of contentment.
Bai Luoluo opened his eyes and used his fingers to tug at Motuo's ear, which was lower than the body temperature, and said, "Okay, don't lick it."
Mo Tuo whimpered coquettishly.
Cats have barbs on their tongues, but Motuo didn't exert any force, so Bai Luoluo didn't feel anything. He pinched Motuo's thick pads and watched the big cat's paws curl up. Said: "Well... I'll change clothes and go out."
He wore pants when he slept, and when he climbed out of the bed, he didn't shy away from Mo Tuo, so he slowly changed his clothes in front of him.
Motuo squatted obediently on the bed behind him, his ears twitched occasionally.
After changing his clothes, Bai Luoluo saw Li Qianqian and Li Guanshan in the living room.
Li Qianqian was eating the nutritional supplement in front of him with a bitter expression and hatred, and Li Guanshan's face had no expression. Although the expressions were different, Bai Luoluo could also see that the two brothers and sisters really liked the nutritional supplement in front of him. Disgusted.
Bai Luoluo recalled the taste of the nutritional supplements he had eaten before, and then thought about the green color, and felt that his originally abundant appetite was reduced by more than half, he tentatively said: "That... Or we can go and catch some. Animals to eat? I made food for you?"
Li Qianqian immediately put down the nutrient solution in her hand, and said excitedly, "Water source, what kind of animals can you eat?"
Bai Luoluo recalled and said, "Ants, grasshoppers, mice, um... Most of the small arthropods and mammals can be eaten."
Li Qianqian wiped her mouth and said, "Wait." She waved at Mo Tuo, turned around and went out.
Li Guanshan sat and watched the whole process, neither blocking nor agreeing, but eating the green nutrient solution at a much slower rate, and finally put it directly at his hand and didn't move.
Bai Luoluo was a little false to Li Guanshan before. After all, he was severely beaten by Li Guanshan and concussed when he first arrived in this world, but after getting along with him, he felt that Li Guanshan was actually a good person. However, he still didn't know how to talk to Li Guanshan, so he nibbled melon seeds with the system quietly beside him.
The system is very busy in this world, so he spends a lot more time eating melon seeds. It is said that he has already purchased hundreds of kilograms of melon seeds online. After listening to Bai Luoluo, he thought to himself that the system is a piece of data, otherwise he would be able to destroy himself alive by eating melon seeds.
Li Qianqian came back very quickly, it only took ten minutes. I saw a dozen chubby ants in her hands.
The ant was almost half a meter tall. It was pierced by Li Qianqian on a thread and came back just like that.
"How can ants eat?" Li Guanshan frowned when he saw it.
"But ants are arthropods." Li Qianqian said, "I just encountered some ants. If you want to catch mice, you have to wait a little longer. Don't look at these ants. Medog has spent a lot of time."
Li Guanshan didn't smile, and said, "Oh, that's really hard for him."
Li Qianqian grinned happily.
Bai Luoluo only felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit strange, but he didn't think much about it, and said, "Ants can also eat it, and it tastes good."
Li Qianqian said, "Really, really? Shuiyuan, you are really our lucky star and our little baby."
Bai Luoluo: "..." Can you not be so disgusting
So Li Guanshan raised a fire, and Bai Luoluo began to make ant meat.
The ants here have a lot of flesh because of their huge size. After cutting the hard black outer skin, the flesh inside is milky white and the meat is very tender. The fly in the ointment is the smell of some insects. But if it is handled properly, the taste is somewhat similar to the shrimp meat Bai Luoluo has eaten in the real world.
Bai Luoluo asked for salt and water, washed the meat carefully, and then marinated the meat.
The spices in this world are very expensive things, and although they are produced in small amounts, they are all provided to the new humans at the very top. The Li family also has spices, but no one in their family has ever cooked, so almost all the spices they get are put in the warehouse to ash, but Bai Luoluo uses them now.
When frying ant meat, Bai Luoluo used this stuff. He lowered his head and stir fry on the slate pan, the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks onto his chin, and finally dripped into the fire.
Li Qianqian sniffed the fragrance and the rich meat aroma next to her, holding her chin to show her fascination, she leaned over to Li Guanshan and said in a voice that only they could hear, "Brother, are you going to shoot or not? If you don't take action, I will take action."
Li Guanshan glanced at Li Qianqian and said nothing.
Li Qianqian fainted. From Mo Tuo's attitude, you could see what her brother was thinking. If her brother was really not interested in Jiang Shuiyuan, then Mo Tuo would never have such a close relationship with Jiang Shuiyuan...
Li Qianqian said disappointedly, "Oh, it's boring."
Li Guanshan ignored Li Qianqian and said something that the three of them could hear. He said, "Li Qianqian, do you want to sell that harmonica?"
"Not for sale." Li Qianqian said, "I'm still waiting for the water source to blow it to me." She took out the very wrapped harmonica from her bosom, handed it to Bai Luoluo, and said, "Water source, I cleaned it yesterday, can you blow it to me?"
Bai Luoluo nodded and said, "Okay, let's play it after eating. Let me tell you first, I'm not very good at playing."
But Li Qianqian was still looking forward to it.
After the ant meat was ready, the three of them feasted.
After taking the nutritional supplements and then eating other foods, how delicious it is to eat, Li Qianqian praised Bai Luoluo while eating, and the sweet mouth will praise Bai Luoluo to heaven.
Bai Luoluo was a little embarrassed and said, "How can it be so delicious."
Who knew that Li Guanshan also said: "It's delicious."
Mo Tuo nodded with a serious expression beside him.
Bai Luoluo was delighted, thinking that you haven't tasted Motuo, what are you nodding? He stretched out his hand to feed Motuo a little, but was stopped by Li Qianqian.
Li Qianqian said, "Don't feed Motuo, it's a waste."
Bai Luoluo said, "Huh?"
Li Qianqian said, "Medog and my brother, one is full, and the two are not hungry..."
After she said this, Li Guanshan glared at her.
Bai Luoluo didn't understand, he made a big sound, full of doubts.
Li Qianqian wanted to say something more, but Li Guanshan's eyes slammed the words back into his mouth, and finally he could only tatter: "Okay, as long as you are happy with Shuiyuan."
More than a dozen ants were easily wiped out by the three of them. Finally, the three of them ate and slumped on chairs in the yard to bask in the sun.
Bai Luoluo rested for a while, then got up from the chair and said, "Qianqian, give me the harmonica."
Li Qianqian nodded happily, and handed the harmonica in her hand to Bai Luoluo.
After Bai Luoluo took it over, he tried the audition, and then blew the simplest little star first.
Li Qianqian's eyes were full of amazement, and she said, "There are so many sounds in such a small thing."
In the apocalypse of scarce resources, many cultures are on the brink of extinction, paintings and musical instruments are almost completely gone, and almost all methods of making musical instruments have been lost. Even if the shape of the instrument can be created by imitating the photo, it cannot restore its original sound. In this world, there is no tuner.
In such a large environment, the musical instruments in the monuments have become a very precious existence.
According to Li Guanshan, if Li Qianqian was willing to sell her harmonica, she would probably make a lot of money.
But Li Qianqian was definitely reluctant, she said, "I won't sell it, I won't sell it, I want to keep it for fun."
Bai Luoluo finished playing Beware of the Stars, and then blew another song called Birch Forest.
Li Qianqian looked at Bai Luoluo and said obsessively, "Shuiyuan, you know so many things."
Bai Luoluo smiled and said, "Not much. If it wasn't for you this time, I would have died in that base."
"How can you think so." Li Qianqian said, "If you don't go, my brother and I will be so bored."
After listening to Bai Luoluo, he thought sadly, among you, I am indeed an existence that makes exploration more difficult...
After listening to Baihualin, Li Qianqian grabbed Bai Luoluo and asked many questions about the song.
Bai Luoluo simply said that this song is about a girl waiting for a lover who will never come back after the war, and she would not say more about the rest.
After hearing this, Li Qianqian burst into tears and said, "It's really touching, I've decided, I'm going to take the harmonica to the auction—"
Li Guanshan raised his eyebrows.
Li Qianqian said, "Blow it out to them and make them jealous!"
Bai Luoluo: "(⊙v⊙) Huh?"
Then Li Qianqian discussed with Bai Luoluo, saying that Bai Luoluo would play this piece once at the beginning of the auction and give Bai Luoluo a price that he couldn't refuse.
Without any hesitation, Bai Luoluo agreed to Li Qianqian's request. After all, he really needed money now.
Li Guanshan also didn't object to Li Qianqian's proposal. In fact, he never spoke too much, and most of his words were when Li Qianqian annoyed him.
Although they didn't find any good things this time, other people who found treasured things sent them to the auction house.
Bai Luoluo saw a budding red rose in the auction.
This rose was carefully cared for in the hood, and every petal and leaf showed the most perfect posture. Bai Luoluo could even see the crystal clear water droplets and the delicate texture of the petals on it.
Li Qianqian looked at the flower, her eyes seemed to be glowing, she said, "Shuiyuan, what's the name of this flower?"
Bai Luoluo said, "It's called Rose."
Li Qianqian said, "Is this a rose... I've seen this name in a book, but I haven't seen the real thing." No matter how detailed the description in the book is, there is no real shocking thing about it. Her fingers rubbed against the glass. The hood, said, "It's so beautiful."
Bai Luoluo said: "It's pretty, but the flowers will wither as soon as they bloom..."
"It won't wither anymore." Li Guanshan said slowly beside him, "Its time is frozen forever."
At first, Bai Luoluo thought that Li Guanshan's words were just a rhetorical device of literature and art. Later, he learned that this rose was frozen by a new human being who could manipulate time.
Bai Luoluo asked suspiciously after knowing it: "Aren't the new humans who can manipulate time very powerful?"
"It's not that powerful." Li Qianqian explained to him, "their abilities are very tasteless, like a safe refrigerator. At most, they can manipulate the time of plants, and even a mouse can't freeze."
Only then did Bai Luoluo understand.
The rose in front of me is the highlight of this auction.
Not only in the safe, but even in a room with guards everywhere.
Bai Luoluo also saw the original owner of this rose, a young man with a very cold expression. Li Guanshan asked him if he was sure he wanted to sell this rose.
The man nodded.
Li Guanshan told the man about the rules of the auction house again, and finally signed the contract.
After signing the contract, the man glanced at Bai Luoluo, who was standing quietly beside him, and said with a half-smile, "Don't your Li family not accept old humans?"
"The rules can always be changed." Li Guanshan didn't seem to intend to explain.
The man snorted and turned away.
Li Qianqian was still staring at Rose with longing in her eyes. Li Guanshan ignored her, reached out and lowered the black cloth on the glass cover, covering Li Qianqian's sight.
Li Qianqian said, "Brother..."
Li Guanshan said indifferently: "It's useless to call me father."
Li Qianqian made a fake cry.
Li Guanshan ignored him, turned around and instructed the guards to add more guards here.
Bai Luoluo asked Li Qianqian, "Can't the new human beings in the plant department be able to make roses?"
"Of course not." Li Qianqian said, "If they want to make a plant, they have to touch the seeds of the plant at least once. The rose is a plant that is extinct in its artistic conception... Alas." She looked lonely, "This is probably my whole life. The first and last time I saw a rose."
Bai Luoluo didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort Li Qianqian.
However, Li Qianqian is a nerd in the end, and she quickly regained her spirits. She said that it was okay, she was someone who had harmonica. Although she didn't know how to play it yet, she could learn it slowly in the future, and let Bai Luoluo have Time to teach her.
Bai Luoluo said yes without laughing or crying.
In the next few days, Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian were both busy, and Li Guanshan couldn't see a single person. According to Li Qianqian, he was busy picking up customers.
The frequency of the auction is about once every two months, but the preliminary work requires a lot of effort. After all, all the things sent to the auction are very rare and expensive. Once there is a mishap, the loss cannot be measured.
Bai Luoluo saw the old human being auctioned for the first time. These old human beings are all very beautiful and have their own characteristics, and almost all of them were sent in cages.
Bai Luoluo and the Li family brothers and sisters got along very happily. If they hadn't seen these people, they would have even forgotten the embarrassing status of their old human identity in this world.
Few of the new humans treated the old humans the same way as Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian. Most of them felt that the old humans were a lower race than them, and it was understandable to treat them rudely.
Li Qianqian was afraid that Bai Luoluo would be uncomfortable, so she never mentioned it.
But Bai Luoluo was really unlucky. When he went to the toilet and was about to return to the house, he noticed that several large boxes covered with black cloth were being transported on the road beside the yard. precious items.
Out of curiosity, Bai Luoluo casually asked the guards in the room.
The guard bluntly told Bai Luoluo the truth, saying that those few were old humans to be auctioned.
Bai Luoluo was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and on the way back, he reached out and touched the cold collar on his neck.
Bai Luoluo said, "Ah, they are so kind to me, I almost forgot that I am an old human."
"As a successor to socialism, you should try to change this terrible idea of cannibalism," the system said.
Bai Luoluo said helplessly: "I want to change..." It's a pity that he is the only one, and he is more than enough to do anything.
The system said: "Hey, let's not talk about it, eat melon seeds, eat melon seeds."
Bai Luoluo thought that everyone was taking drugs to numb the nerves. His system was really safe and healthy, and he greeted people to eat melon seeds every day.
The popularity of the auction has been slowly hyping up. I heard that there was a rose that was frozen in time at this auction. Many people from other bases began to rush here, so the whole city was unprecedentedly lively.
Li Qianqian told Bai Luoluo not to go out these days, saying that there are many bad people on the street these days.
Bai Luoluo could only nod his head.
The tense atmosphere continued until the day of the auction. Li Guanshan was still busy and no one was seen, while Li Qianqian took Bai Luoluo to the auction site.
The security work this time is obviously more stringent than the last time, even Li Qianqian has undergone meticulous inspections.
Li Qianqian also comforted Bai Luoluo, saying, "No way, some people's abilities are imitating the appearance of others, so it's a good thing to check carefully."
Bai Luoluo said, "Well, I know, why didn't I see Motuo?"
Li Qianqian said, "Medog? I've been running around with my brother for the past few days... I guess I'll come over later."
She led Bai Luoluo to the private room, and introduced to Bai Luoluo that almost all the bigwigs from various districts came to this auction, and most of them came for the rose.
Bai Luoluo said, "roses are so popular?"
Li Qianqian said, "Yes, let's go to the backcourt in the afternoon. You didn't forget what you promised me?"
Bai Luoluo said, "Well, remember." He promised Li Qianqian to play a piece of birch forest on the harmonica at the beginning.
Li Qianqian showed a happy look and said, "Although I can't buy roses, I can still make them jealous."
Bai Luoluo felt that Li Qianqian was like a child, he smiled softly: "Okay, it's up to you."
In the afternoon, Mo Tuo slipped into the box. He still looked so energetic. As soon as he saw Bai Luoluo, he rushed over excitedly, even wagging his tail.
Li Qianqian said sourly from the side, "Tsk tsk tsk, you're not a dog, why are you wagging your tail?"
Mo Tuo whimpered and grinned at Li Qianqian.
Bai Luoluo stroked his soft fur and said, "What have you been doing these days? Did you eat well?"
Mo Tuo's ears drooped down, he put his head on Bai Luoluo's lap, looked up, made a pitiful expression, and patted Li Qianqian angrily.
Li Qianqian said angrily, "What do you mean, I roast mice for you every day."
Bai Luoluo: "..."
Mo Tuo didn't listen or listen, and the bastard's expression was chanting scriptures, and he actually covered his head with his claws.
Bai Luoluo laughed, Li Qian's face was flushed, and he rolled up his sleeves and said he was going to fight with Mo Tuo.
Fortunately, Li Guanshan came at a critical moment, but he didn't change anything, he just asked Li Qianqian not to make trouble.
Li Qianqian muttered and said yes, then looked at Bai Luoluo and said, "It's almost time now, Shuiyuan, I'll take you to get acquainted with the backstage."
Bai Luoluo nodded and said yes.
Li Guanshan said from the side, "Don't make trouble when you go backstage, Li Qianqian, or be careful with your pocket money."
Li Qianqian stuck out her tongue, took Bai Luoluo's hand and slipped away from the door. Li Guanshan watched the backs of the two leaving without chasing, and turned to go elsewhere. Unlike the carefree Li Qianqian, he still has many things to worry about.
The author has something to say: Li Guanshan: If you are not good, put a collar under you.
Bai Luoluo: Go away, you nasty bastard, or Motuo... eh? ? Medog, where are you licking?
