1168 Strange Setting
(Sorry, I was confused last night and posted the chapters again incorrectly. I only found out when I had to modify some content this morning. When I was sleepy, I always do stupid things. Sorry. The chapters have been revised.)
Su Muzhe wanted to laugh, but he still held it back. Such a child has a thin face. If he smiled, he still didn't know what shy he would look like.
He coughed twice and took out some food from his backpack - mineral water, bread, canned meat, ham sausage and other convenient foods.
Although when I was washing my face by the stream, I found that there were small fish swimming in the water, Su Muzhe was not familiar with this world and did not dare to rashly take water from the river.
"Wait a moment, I will heat these things up before eating. You are still young and can't eat too much cold things." Su Muzhe reminded.
Zhou Li was originally looking at the young man's dress. The bag (backpack) behind him and the various things he took out of the bag were strange, and it didn't look like food at all. The young man looked strange and the things he carried were strange. Before he could come up, he heard the young man say something like that. He suddenly felt his nose a little sore, and quickly turned his head and said "um" to be considered as agreeing.
Su Muzhe did not notice these little emotions of the child. He went to find some flammable firewood, set it up, lit them with a lighter, then put the pot on, and poured a certain amount of mineral water inside.
The firewood burned very quickly and the heat brought was unexpectedly large, so the water in the pot was boiled without waiting for too long. Su Muzhe added canned meat, peeled the ham sausage, and added an appropriate amount of seasoning.
During this period, Su Muzhe also opened a pack of butter bread and handed it to the child, asking him to eat it first to cushion his stomach.
Zhou Li had never seen such food before. After taking it at a loss, he didn't know whether to taste it. He was vigilant about all strangers and strange things.
Su Muzhe thought he wouldn't eat it, so he said, "If you take a bite, it tastes good." He himself didn't eat this kind of small bread, but his little apprentice gave it to him.
When Su Muzhe thought of his little apprentice, he couldn't help but sigh. He shook his head slightly and continued to cook.
Zhou Li held the cake and took a small bite. It tasted very... strange, but it was also delicious. The white thing (cream) was very sweet, but not greasy at all. The pink translucent sauce (jam) was very fresh and refreshing. He finished the small bread as big as a palm in a few bites, but his stomach was even hungry.
...After all, I haven't eaten for such a long time.
Fortunately, the things on Su Muzhe were cooked and put them directly into a can. He took the chopsticks himself and found a small spoon for the child.
"Come and eat." Su Muzhe handed the broth to the child, and gave him another white bread to accompany him to eat.
The taste of these things seemed to be just ordinary to Su Muzhe. Although Zhou Li had never seen them, he had been used to eating good things since he was a child, so the taste of the broth was not amazing. Moreover, these foods did not have much energy, and they could simply fill their stomachs. However, they were hungry all over the world, so they soon ate them clean.
After dinner, Zhou Li touched his slightly bulging stomach, and his empty stomach and empty heart were all filled.
He sat on Su Muzhe's clothes, watching the man busy packing things, washing the pot and washing chopsticks, opened his mouth several times, and finally said, "My name is Zhou Li."
Su Muzhe turned around and smiled at him, "My name is Su Muzhe. How old are you this year?"
"I'm twelve." Zhou Li said in a depressed manner.
"It turns out that I'm still a child." Su Muzhe thought this child was quite cute, much more cute and sensible than many naughty kids he had seen before.
"You, how did you save me? You didn't. Did you meet that big snake?" Zhou Li asked hesitantly.
Su Muzhe naturally couldn't say that the thing was knocked unconscious by himself, so he said, "I saw it, but it climbed to another direction. Then I heard your voice and went to find you while it left."
Zhou Li nodded slightly, but his drooping eyes were full of doubts. He didn't believe Su Muzhe's words. After all, his body was covered with grass juice by that person - this grass juice had the most attractive smell of the big snake. And he was thrown into the cave where the big snake lived, and it could not easily give up its "food".
However, even if Su Muzhe lied, Zhou Li was not going to say anything. After all, he was saved by someone else.
"Are you full?" Su Muzhe packed up his things and turned to ask him.
Zhou Li nodded, "Thank you."
"It's okay." Looking at the child's well-behaved appearance, Su Muzhe seemed to touch his head with his hands. But he didn't do anything. He stood up and observed the nearby terrain. Then he asked Zhou Li, "Do you know where to leave this place? This mountain does not seem safe, and we can't stay here all the time."
A child and an adult who temporarily lost his military power have a small chance of getting out in the face of danger.
"I know." Zhou Li nodded slightly. "Just three miles ahead, there is a way out of the mountain, which is the fastest way to go down the mountain."
"Okay, please give me the way, I'll take you down the mountain with you." Su Muzhai said.
Zhou Li nodded—he was going to leave here too.
"Give it." Su Muzhe took off his backpack and handed it to Zhou Li. Zhou Li raised his head slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on his pink little face. He obviously didn't understand what Su Muzhe was going to do.
"You can help me take this bag, and I will carry you down the mountain," Su Muzhe explained in a gentle tone.
Zhou Li silently took the strange package and blew his eyelids slightly - brother?
He saw this man hiding in front of him and handing his back to him without any warning, his feelings in his heart were very complicated for a moment.
——It turns out that there are people in this world who are unprepared for others.
He didn't know what to say, and after hesitating for a while, he slowly lay on Su Muzhe's back.
"Sit down, don't fall off." Su Muzhe weighed it, thinking that this child was so light. He was obviously not a skinny figure. But...
"Although it's a bit rude to ask this, I still want to ask." Su Muzhe said: "Zhou Li, are you a little boy or a little girl?"
After Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, his little face immediately turned red. He wanted to jump off Su Muzhe's back immediately, and he saw what questions he asked...
Zhou Li tightened his face and said angrily: "I am a boy, a man, how can I get my gender wrong?"
Since birth, although everyone who sees him praises him for his good looks, no one has mistaken his gender. Why is Su Muzhe so blind?!
Little did Su Muzhe feel relieved after hearing his answer. It’s not that he doesn’t like little girls, but rather boys over girls, but he is a big man after all. If he is carrying a little girl, there will definitely be many inconvenient situations, and if he is a boy, he will not have so many concerns.
"Sorry, because you have long hair, I made a mistake at first. I thought you were a little girl." Su Muzhe quickly apologized.
Zhou Li felt that this person was stupid again, "But here, long hair is a symbol of identity and status. Only slaves who do not have freedom from power will have short hair." It's like short hair like you.
Zhou Li didn't say this sentence kindly, but for Su Muzhe, the power of this sentence is no less than a bomb. He never expected that the setting of a world he could have been to casually get was so... strange.
As if afraid that he would not believe it, Zhou Li also added: "For us, the slaves not only have short hair, but also have a pair of strange-colored eyes. Only long hair and black eyes can represent the true nobles."
When he was talking to Su Muzhe, he saw that his eyes were silver, which was exactly in line with the definition of slaves here....
Su Muzhe... Su Muzhe didn't know what he should say, he was really speechless now.
What exactly is the setting of this world? He just came here and was labeled as a "slave" before he did anything.
"You... don't be angry, no, sorry." Zhou Li thought it was his own words, which hurt the soft heart of the person who was carrying him, so he quickly apologized.
"It's okay, I'm not angry." Su Muzhai said, just a little surprised. "I think such a regulation is really strange.
Zhou Li said nothing. The provision that Su Muzhe thought was strange was normal and normal in his eyes. After all, such provisions have existed for thousands of years in them.
In this way, one big and one small, slowly walked forward in the darkness. Su Muzhe carried the little guy on his back. Zhou Li slowly hugged Su Muzhe's neck tightly, and his vigilance and suspicion in his heart decreased a little.
His face was against the back of Su Muzhe's head, and it was clear that this man had a short, shiny hair, very good hair, and the smell on his hair was also very good. No matter from any angle, he didn't look like a slave.
This person is strange in any aspect, but Zhou Li miraculously didn't want to go into it. He just hopes that the person who carries him will never lie to himself.
