I'm sprouting again

What the old man with the goatee said meant that Bai Xiao's thinking was correct, but he had fallen into the misunderstanding of "taking it for granted" by common sense.

Bai Xiao also reacted quickly, and then couldn't help thinking again.

So that is to say, the small town they saw was actually the same "thing" as the mechanical city those people saw.But he is entangled in the question of "who sees the real", the question itself may be wrong.

Because of the nature of this small town, it is very likely that it is not a choice between the two.

So what will it be?Can't even the whole town be a ghost?

Bai Xiao: "..."

No way?

Bai Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, always feeling that the cold air began to rise from the soles of his feet again.

Fortunately, at this time, a woman with a big ponytail came out of the house behind them, and said loudly and enthusiastically to them with a smile on her face: "Dinner is ready!"

This sound was like a carnival horn, and the children in the yard jumped up and cheered, and then immediately abandoned the ball beans and chickens, and jumped and rushed towards the room—the room they entered was exactly the one assigned to them. The strange empty room in Bai Xiao's house.

That empty room was not that big compared to the other rooms. It stands to reason that with so many people crammed in, the room shouldn't be able to fit in, but these children and that woman disappeared into the room in a blink of an eye up.

Bai Xiao was slightly startled, turned to look at Zang Feng, and saw the same astonishment in Zang Feng's eyes.

What surprised them was not only the fact that the crowd disappeared into the room, but also how the woman came out just now—Bai Xiao remembered it very clearly.After the goatee old man asked people to cook, those people dispersed from both sides, and no one entered the room of this guest room.

So, where did this woman come from?

At this time, the goatee old man also stood up with a cane, and said to them: "Let's go too, this is a sumptuous meal specially prepared for you."

After all, the goatee old man also walked towards that room.

Bai Xiao and Zang Feng didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly followed.

When he reached the door of the room, Bai Xiao saw that this room was still empty, and it clearly turned into a passage!

The wall of the room facing the door had now completely disappeared, revealing the atrium surrounded by six houses.

In the atrium, there is a large circular flower bed, in which is the huge tree.

At this time, along the flower bed of the big tree, there was a whole circle of long tables, and each long table was filled with various sumptuous dishes; There are a few spaces left for them at the door - there is a very large space, which should be reserved for chicken cubs.

"That's right."

The old man with the goatee walked in the door, and when he saw the reserved space, he seemed to think of something suddenly.Then he came out of the door and tapped on the door frame with his cane.

"Om—."

A dull but not unpleasant buzzing sound followed the knock, and then, the normal-sized door and the entire wall were like clay on a turntable. The place begins to soften and expand.

Soon, the original normal-sized door expanded into a huge circular opening.There is enough space for the whole chicken to go in and out.

Chicken Cub was originally lost, but now he saw the old man with the goatee and immediately understood what he meant.

So the chicken cub happily "chirped!", probably meaning: you are very sensible~

The old man with the goatee laughed loudly, he didn't care whether the chicken cubs were big or small, and he called the family of four to take their seats quickly.

The four members of Bai Xiao's family followed the old man with the goatee. While walking, Bai Xiao looked around the courtyard calmly.

First, the surrounding "walls".The backs of the six large houses form a wall, wrapping the yard here into an atrium. Each house has a hole-like door in the same position—it should be the empty room of each house——it seems Very regular.

This layout also made Bai Xiao feel a little instant.

This is very similar to the atrium in the ruins of the miracle.It's just that the scale is much smaller, and it's not that dilapidated, and there are no traces of weeds on the ground.

Then there's the courtyard.In the atrium, the ground is covered with blue bricks of the same size, which are arranged in a spiral shape; the sun shines through the leaves and casts broken shadows on the ground, which has a mottled beauty; Bai Xiao originally thought that under such a large canopy, the light should not be very good , but when I walked in here, I found that the light here is very abundant, and it is also very cool.

The place is well-kept, there are no weeds, not to mention fallen leaves and dust—you must know that there are still a lot of junk or tools in the yard of each house——so Bai Xiao wanted to come here. , this place should be a very important place for the goatee old man and the others.

And finally this tree.The tree is big, old, and lush.

As I said before, Bai Xiao is very sensitive to "trees" now.Coupled with the sense of sight of the courtyard just now, Bai Xiao subconsciously compared the tree in front of him with the tree in the miracle and the tree in the palace.

The shape, size and veins of the leaves, the color and state of the bark, the density and height of the branches...

Bai Xiao is not a professional planter, but he also came to the conclusion that these three trees have nothing in common in appearance.

But in terms of growth status, there are some things in common.For example: The tree is very large and grows very lush.

Moreover, after getting close, it will give people a feeling of refreshing and taking a deep breath, and the organs all over the body have been washed clean.

They are related.Bai Xiao can be sure of this, but Bai Xiao is not sure that this tree is the "core" of this world.

In a few steps, Bai Xiao finished observing the layout of the atrium, and they also arrived at the dining table.

After the old man with the goatee sat down, the four members of Bai Xiao's family also sat down. Only then did Bai Xiao realize that there was a small table seat for Qiudou on the table next to him.

Very particular and careful.

Bai Xiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, he accepted the kindness, and sat upright—he thought that there would be a banquet process such as a speech, after all, the goatee old man's house seemed to be a big family——but there was no such thing.

When they sat down, everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating. There is no rule that you cannot talk while eating.For a while, the entire atrium became lively.

The goatee old man also put down his crutches, picked up a bowl and introduced to Bai Xiao and Zang Feng: "This is the all-straw mat we specially prepared for you—that is, all the dishes are made of white flower grass, which can nourish your health." Already!"

In his tone, he couldn't help being proud and complacent.

Bai Xiao was a little puzzled when he heard this, because the dishes on the table were very rich, including fried, fried and steamed, as well as steamed buns and bread, which surprised Bai Xiao—because in Kester, using human categories Divided, their eating habits are biased toward human Westernization.

How does this match up with the name "All Straw Mat"?Could it be said that every dish uses Baihuacao?

Well, very likely.

"Eat!" the old man with the goatee said, without expecting Bai Xiao's reaction, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Bai Xiao and Zang Feng looked at each other, and then both of them put their chopsticks together.

What Bai Xiao stretched out his chopsticks was a bowl of braised pork. Bai Xiao hadn't eaten this for a long time. On the way to the small town, he even dreamed of eating braised pork.This bowl of braised pork looks bright red in color, soft and juicy. When it is clamped on the chopsticks, the soup is thickly coated, and the large cubes of meat are still trembling with the chopsticks.

Bai Xiao suddenly felt that the gluttons in his stomach were about to crawl out.

He hurriedly caught the dripping soup with a bowl, and then took a sip, and fed the whole piece of braised pork into his mouth.

However, when the seemingly delicious braised pork entered the mouth, Bai Xiao's expression of anticipation froze in an instant, and his chewing movements also stopped.He had a piece of meat in his mouth, looking like he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

"..."

——Although the braised pork looks delicious and smells delicious, but after the entrance, the soft and smooth taste is still the same, but the imaginary meat flavor is replaced by grass flavor, and the fat but not greasy fat meat becomes grass The ointment, the soft and tender lean meat that kept the fibers turned into grass silk, and after one bite, the bitterness of the grass and trees instantly filled the entire mouth, pressing the root of the tongue and making it astringent.

Bai Xiao's mouth was stimulated to secrete a lot of saliva, but he really didn't want to swallow it.

Bai Xiaomu looked at Zang Feng beside him with a straight face.

Zang Feng was holding the bowl and chopsticks, his back was still straight, he was chewing slowly with his mouth closed, looking very elegant.

But Bai Xiao knew Zang Feng's appetite and eating speed. Although Zang Feng usually ate very elegantly, his speed was definitely not slow, and he would never chew like this.

This appearance has already told Bai Xiao that the food he eats also tastes the same.

Bai Xiao simply has nothing to love: This is really a feast of grass...

Zang Feng noticed Bai Xiao's gaze and looked over.When he saw Bai Xiao's puffed cheeks clearly, he understood the meaning of Bai Xiao's eyes.

Zang Feng swallowed the food in his mouth, and said to Bai Xiao: "If you can't eat, eat the food in the space button."

Before coming this time, Bai Xiao also prepared a lot of food.And because the chicken son has grown in size, he also prepared a lot of dried meat snacks for him.Even with the addition of Zang Feng, it would be enough for a week.

Bai Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and shook his head slightly at Zang Feng.Although he didn't like the bitter taste very much, it was too impolite in this situation.

Bai Xiao looked at the table, scanned it around for the last time, and aimed at a plate of cold Baihua grass sprouts to eat.Although there is no seasoning taste, the taste of grass sprouts is a little sweeter, which is much better than the previous bitterness.

Bai Xiao consoled himself psychologically: Thinking about it from another angle, this kind of fake banquet made of grass can be regarded as a work of art to a certain extent.

So in the following time, Bai Xiao ate the "rich" banquet with the mentality of a layman watching an art exhibition, and with an unidentified admiration.
