Pure White Core

What, do you want me to eat the brains of twenty local farmers and learn the dialect here?I rubbed the ring on my hand, or do you want me and Huihui to slaughter the village again, and count the number?

Unpleasant memories flooded my mind, I didn't want to get entangled with that woman, so I dragged Huihui away, but the woman didn't chase us and went back to her yard muttering.

"Yu Shaorong, what should we do?" Huihui probably remembered the experience of being arrested by a group of people with torches, her face turned pale, and she wanted to turn around and leave the village.

I thought for a while before telling her: "Let's try to make gestures and see if we can barely communicate. Although it looks poor here, it is quite orderly, so we won't be arrested and put in cages." Mainly I want to go to the city, the city I have seen from afar, the first city I saw in the White Core.

There seems to be no restaurants or hotels in the village, and every house is covered with mottled rammed earth walls, which are not high. I can climb up with a few steps of run-up. I guess it was not for defense.

A few children who were playing in the village saw us and chased them curiously. Behind them was an animal the size of a cat, with shiny gray and white fur. Stretch out between the legs to look at Huihui and me.Some bold children spoke to us, but Huihui and I couldn’t understand them either. The two groups of people gestured for a long time without exchanging any useful information. An older girl took out a piece of dried radish from her pocket. She gave Huihui something similar, and Huihui also broke a piece of bread in her pocket and gave it to her.

Dried radish has a sweet and sour taste, refreshing and chewy. It is estimated that the sweet bread full of milk flavor is also good. After several children ate it, we were very warm, and some people warmly invited us Go to his house to play.

Some adults from far away saw us and came over and asked a few questions curiously, but after knowing that we couldn't speak the local dialect, they didn't show much expression other than surprise, and soon got busy with their respective affairs.

Don't worry about leaving us two out-of-town cubs here to play with their children, these adults really have big hearts.

I tried to gesture to hotels and places selling things, but most of these children couldn't understand, thinking that we were lost and looking for a place to sleep, one by one bounced and dragged us to his house, and some even gestured to help us find our family.

How can Huihui and I have family members here?

In fact, I was very confused. I was a little confused when I saw the long hair tied up on the boys' heads. The countryside around our county is also poor, but at least the boys can cut their hair, and the girls are like them. Braids.Luckily I was wearing a hat so no one could see my short hair, or they would have been even more surprised.

Now I agree with Huihui more and more, they are really like the ancient people, although they don’t have the bright skirts and clean soap robes I have seen on TV, but their every move, clothes and houses are full of that A familiar breath.It's like the special feeling when you walk into a museum and see unearthed cultural relics, not only things, but also people.

Huihui was very curious about that strange thing that looked like a weasel and looked like a dog, and she reached out to touch it, but it was very smart and cleverly dodged and stood beside the little master, and the big boy with the ponytail hugged it After comforting it for a long time, it reluctantly agreed with Huihui and me to touch its back.

Warm and smooth touch, what a beautiful little guy.

There is a little girl who is the youngest, she can’t even speak well, and she shows us that she has another one, which is bigger and smarter, and she is about to give birth to a baby. She moves clumsily, and other people around her jump up and down to do the same. The action complements her, sometimes she can't describe it properly, and the children around are anxious.

The girl who gave Huihui carrots wanted us to stay in their village and play with them, but I couldn't agree. I just told her that we were going to the place with tall walls and doors, and she felt it was a pity.

There must be words here, but none of the children in the village can read. When it was almost noon, the big girl invited me and Huihui to have a meal. Her parents were not at home. I bought two multigrain cakes. The warm and crispy cakes taste very good with pickled sauerkraut. I took out some of the cakes in my ring and baked them on the stove at her home before putting them back into the ring. I will warm them up next time I eat them. It must have tasted much better baked.

A meal is rewarded. We left two bottles of Wahaha for her. One bottle taught her to pierce the mouth of the bottle with a straw to drink, and the other bottle was reserved for her to drink slowly.The sweet and sour taste made the girl smile, and she couldn't help smacking her lips every time she took a sip, she liked it very much.

The snow on the main road had not melted at noon, so we followed a man with a bullock cart according to the girl's instructions. The man knew the girl very well, and when he heard that we were going to the city, he asked us to follow behind the car.He didn't signal for us to get in the car. The car was already full of goods, and the "cow" in front was pulling very hard. If we got in the car again, the "cow" might go on strike and quit.

The animal in front can’t be called a “cow” at all. Anyway, it’s very different from the cow in my impression. Although the body is huge, there are two forks on the curved horns, and the eyelashes on the big bright eyes are as thick as fans. , looking as docile as a deer, is a very beautiful hoofed animal.

This walk lasted an afternoon. We have entered the pure white core for more than [-] hours. Huihui said that her feet are covered with blood blisters. She is now carrying a schoolbag and changed her shoes and socks on the way, but her feet still hurt badly .I was better than her, and I hardly felt tired. If I hadn't seen the towering city walls, the wide-open city gates and the soldiers in ancient armor on both sides, I felt that I could walk for another two or three hours at least.

Some people looked at us out of curiosity, but more people chose to ignore it after just a casual glance.

The two of us entered the city easily with the scooter, which was unimaginable before anyway.

Upturned colorful eaves, lighted paper lanterns, robes under and inside leather cloaks on passers-by, black cotton shoes on feet, hair buns on top of women’s heads and wooden hairpins...

At the door of the store, someone nodded and bowed to welcome the customers to enter the door. A few porters carrying sedan chairs sat and chatted beside the sedan chairs at the intersection in the distance, and they didn't know that they were waiting for some important person in the store next to them.

At this moment, I really feel that I have really come to ancient times.I felt that the sportswear of Huihui and I looked out of place on this quaint street, but other people didn't make a fuss about our clothes. Walking on the cold street with animal skin wrapped around his waist and bare chest, he didn't have much reaction.

The rich aroma of rice came from the curtain opened by the guests, and Huihui and I couldn't help sniffing. It was the smell of stewed meat, and there was also a faint smell of wine.Under the plaque with weird square fonts is a spacious door with a thick black cotton curtain. From time to time, well-dressed diners come in and out together. Huihui and I stand outside enviously. When the curtain is lifted, we can see the beautiful inside. With wooden tables and a dazzling array of wine and dishes, the atmosphere inside is particularly lively. Judging from the thick white mist that flows out every time the curtain is lifted, it is still very warm there.

"Yu Shaorong, do you think our money can be spent there?" Huihui rubbed her stomach and licked her lips.

"What do you say?" I asked her.

"I said no."

As long as you know.

"Hey! What are you looking at, we need to get some money, otherwise we won't even know where to sleep at night, let alone have nothing to eat."

The two of us were standing outside the window of the restaurant, next to a fortune teller wrapped in a thick robe, not because I could understand the writing on his canvas, but because of the small table and writing brush in front of him and his eccentric look. The human-like attire was so familiar that I immediately decided that he must be a textbook-like liar.

Seeing us two little boys who can't afford to eat looking at him now, he gave us a disdainful look, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, I guess it was probably "barbarians" or something.

Where should we get the money?

Stealing and robbing will definitely not work. I first thought of the pawn shop. Huihui and I have a lot of things on us. The food here should look very special, and maybe we can get some start-up funds.

well!Huihui and I don't know what to say here, so how can we find a pawn shop?

The sky gradually darkened, and the pedestrians on the road became less and less. Huihui and I walked on the not-so-broad street. The candles and oil lamps in the paper windows were extinguished one by one, the shop curtains were removed, and the door panels were replaced. The whole street gradually fell into a deep sleep.

After all, God didn't want to torture us to death. We didn't find a pawn shop, but we found an inn.It is a large-scale beautiful inn with three floors. The first floor is made of large stones, the second and third floors are wooden structures, the tables and stools in the hall are wiped clean, and the beams are still used. There are many wine jars hung on the hemp rope. I remember that the wine is stored in the cellar. I don’t know how this store has such a habit.

The guests staying in this store seemed to be well-dressed. There were a few well-mannered men who hadn't rested yet, sitting at a table in the corner of the hall, talking at night with candles, and drinking from wine cups from time to time.

I gave a plastic mineral water bottle to the person behind the counter who was flipping through the ledger, and after showing him how to unscrew and close the bottle cap and talking about chicken and duck gestures for a long time, he agreed to let me and Huihui stay here for ten days.Huihui and I were taken to a room not far from the counter by someone who looked like a waiter in the shop. The room was not cramped. With a reassuring temperature.

I have never lived in a heated kang, and when I touched the surface of the stone kang, the warm temperature made me feel happy, and the bedding looked clean, so I was quite satisfied.

Huihui was also quite satisfied, pale light gushed out from her eyes: "Let me see if this place is clean."

"No." Huihui looked around and pulled her face down.

I also entered the state of black-and-white vision. Huihui was right. There were colored threads twisting here and there in the room. I thought it was clean on the bedding, and there were even yellow silk threads that Huihui said represented fleas and lice.

"How do you know that fleas and lice are yellow threads?" I asked Huihui.

"I want you to take care of it!" Huihui stirred up the pinched silk threads one by one, and after careful inspection, she opened the window and threw the ball out of the window.

If it weren't for Huihui, I wouldn't know that the seemingly invisible thread is actually connected with tangible matter, or life.

Huihui showed me a louse, a tiny one, about the size of dandruff, with flames printed on the fingernails, and I could see its evil legs thumping non-stop.Huihui didn't hold it directly with her hands, she pulled an invisible and intangible thin thread, and the lice hung on the top of the light yellow thin thread, and could even fly in the air out of thin air.

She lifted the thread above the flame of the oil lamp, and the lice performing the "air walk" were reduced to ashes in the bright yellow outer flame of the flame, and the yellow silk thread in her hand disappeared.

Well, it turns out that the colored silk thread is just a "label", and what really works is the little thing that is alive and kicking at the end of the "label".

In order to confirm my guess, I squeezed a pinch of "Dead Skeleton Plague" on my fingertips, and when the tip of the filament was touched with a flame, the dark green thread could be seen to melt quickly, but simply burning the thread may not make the thread disappear.

I understand that this should be regarded as "disinfection", but the world we live in is full of microorganisms, why only specific organisms and bacteria are marked in the black and white horizon, and other units are not marked?

It is a question worth exploring.

"Yu Shaorong, who will watch the night first?" Huihui asked me.

Do we need a vigil?Probably.

On the TV, the owner of the black shop would always attack the tenants in the middle of the night. Huihui and I, two seven-year-old boys, were indeed very suitable targets.

"Let me keep it first, you sleep." Let her get enough sleep first, then I will have a good sleep tomorrow, and then I will figure out how to calculate the points later.

"Well." Huihui put the change of clothes on the bedding and went to bed. She was still unwilling to use the bedding that was originally full of well-known and unknown pathogens.

In the middle of the night, the ring suddenly sent a message. Not only did I wake up when I was drowsy, but even Huihui who was sleeping suddenly got up!

[If more than a quarter of the team has died, the requirements for passing the level have been met. Will you return? 】

Naturally, Huihui and I will not go back.Before Huihui sat up, a series of messages appeared in my mind:

[Satisfy the triggering conditions of the emergency main task, add main task and branch task]

[Team main task: teammate Liu Sujuan has killed eleven companions in total, and the pure white nuclear anchors have been converted into pure red nuclear anchors. Liu Sujuan is not allowed to leave the level until all the pure white nuclear anchors return in this level. All members of the Pure White Core who participated in killing Liu Sujuan can get 500 liquidation points. If Liu Sujuan returns successfully, each member of the Pure White Core will lose 1000 liquidation points, and Liu Sujuan will get [-] liquidation points and go to the Pure Red Core. 】

[Team branch task: expose and kill the man-eating beasts lurking in the city. (0/6) Reward: Unknown. 】

Amazing my Liu Sujuan!
