024 Siege (2)
Finally, I had the opportunity to rest, and of course Su Yuan would not miss it. Even sleeping on a cold floor is better than sleeping in a colder hole.
That being said, it's another thing when you actually fall asleep.
"Master, your body ......"
The electronic elf who lives in the memory, Xiaodian asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Su Yuan rubbed his sore neck and said, "Thank you for me, please." β
After several months of getting along, Su Yuan gradually understood the existence of "elves". They are amazing creatures with varying degrees of self-awareness and a willingness to approach humans they like.
After using their magic to conclude a contract of subordination, they can become extremely loyal and will be the most trusted companion of their master.
For example, last night, the fire elves who were worried about him catching a cold created an environment suitable for him to rest, without him knowing.
"You're awake."
Lu Lanqing greeted Su Yuan lazily, and Su Yuan turned his head.
Then, rubbing his eyesβ
That guy, that guy is actually lying in bed, in, watching TV! And Layla!
"What's wrong? Am I such a non-cannibal person in your eyes? I heard that this is a common pastime behavior for ordinary women. β
"Uh-huh!"
Lyra didn't understand what the two were saying, but she nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"Can make you two so idle......"
Su Yuan dragged his lazy steps and walked into the bedroom opposite.
"Something must be going on out there."
"Don't draw the curtains!"
Lu Lanqing, who was still lying on the bed staring at the old-fashioned LCD screen just now, jumped off the bed in an instant and restrained his hand.
"The soundproofing of this room is good, but the light can't stop it. I'm sure you'll understand the situation at a glance, but you're only allowed to pull a small crack open. β
Su Yuan slightly lifted the corner of the curtain according to what Lu Lanqing said. I don't know if I don't look at it, I look at it......
"Hiss......"
Su Yuan gasped.
A long dragon composed of people, no, can no longer be described by the word "long dragon", as if the two-story building they live in next door is the enrollment office of a key primary school in Haidian District, Beijing, densely arranged below, there is no end in sight.
On the corner of the street, Su Yuan saw several tall men dressed as policemen, smoking idle cigarettes there, probably sent over to maintain order, but in this case, if the police rashly stepped on, the probability of stampede was extremely high, so they squatted there, with a depressed face, as if they had been wronged.
"Okay, okay, have you seen enough?"
Lu Lanqing blocked his body in front of the windowsill, leaving Su Yuan at a loss for a while.
"How so?"
The girl snorted.
"Stupid, this represents the victory of our army on the front, remember what this shop is?"
"Grain store...... No way? β
"Just what you think. The store was opened next door to a similar store set up by the Soviet government, and at nine o'clock this morning, the wartime economic policy was implemented in this area, and all necessities were uniformly distributed by the government. The policy was released very suddenly, and I only found out about it by watching TV breaks. β
"And now?"
"It's already noon, do you want something to eat?"
ββ¦β¦ No need. β
Su Yuan moved a chair from downstairs and watched TV with the two girls.
"Lan Qing, how long do you estimate they will have to wait here if they continue to line up according to this trend?"
"There are four places in total, and if you say the population of the city, and the speed of the Soviet bureaucracy, it is not surprising even if it is until tomorrow morning."
ββ¦β¦β
Su Yuan remembered that in the few seconds when he peeked out of the window, the number of people outside not only did not decrease, but there was a tendency to increase.
"What's the matter, isn't that what you like? Nest at home. β
"I'm not as disliked going out as you say." Su Yuan pursed his lips, "Besides, this is not my home." β
He really still misses his solitary bedroom in Niu East, where there is a five-star decoration, all kinds of furniture are readily available, unlike this, the furniture inside looks like the owner did not give it when it was transferred, and he couldn't even find a sofa, and he had to sleep on the floor.
"Well, you just watch these literary programs?"
Su Yuan tried to ask.
"It's okay."
Could this guy be watching TV for the first time, Su Yuan guessed in his heart. He himself has seen enough literary programs at various galas, and if he were him, he would rather watch some TV dramas or something.
Although I don't understand it, it's just a lively look.
"By the way, will you use the things in the kitchen?"
"I can use a little, what's wrong?"
"Then you'll do the cooking."
Looking at Lu Lanqing's indifferent look, Su Yuan's jaw almost didn't fall.
"Me, cooking?"
Su Yuan pointed at himself with a stiff finger, and then pointed to the kitchen, and Su Yuan, who suddenly realized something, immediately rushed into the kitchen.
Then he and his elves were stunned.
The scene in the kitchen can be described as "a mess", everywhere there are broken hanging noodles, chopped green onion leaves and unwiped water, just on the induction cooker, there is a large white unidentified solid pot, barely visible is the shape of the hanging noodles, next to the induction cooker Su Yuan found a torn packaging bag printed in Chinese, and sprinkled a noodle of salt and MSG.
Su Yuan smiled bitterly, he probably guessed what happened here before he woke up. If Lu Lanqing hadn't been put on the stove and boiled like steamed buns for two hours, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Su Yuan.
"This kind of waste of food, the farmers will be angry when they see it, even if they can't eat it, they will work hard for me to eat it, look at this ......"
Su Yuan flicked the white solid in the pot with his chopsticks, and the solid didn't move at all as if it was fixed in time and space.
There was no way, so he could only boil hot water to solve it, Su Yuan scooped out about two liters of water from the vat next to him, poured it into the kettle and turned on the power, and thought it was too slow, so he directly used magic, and then divided five by two.
As a result, three bowls of "gnocchi soup" with floating gnocchi and vegetable leaves are freshly baked.
ββ¦β¦β
The two girls glanced at the big bowl in Su Yuan's hand, and then watched their TV.
"Hey! It's not that you can't eat it! If you don't eat it, I'll eat it! β
"Then you eat."
ββ¦β¦β
Su Yuanyi was angry and tasted the joint work of the three of them. Not to mention the taste, the strong smell of sodium almost didn't make him rush to the faucet to drink the water inside, apparently forgetting that someone had put salt in it. And the salty taste has penetrated deep into the inside of the noodles, and the water alone can't wash it off.
I had no choice but to throw it away. When he had done all this and returned to the bedroom again, the girls, especially Lu Lanqing, looked at him and made him feel like he was dead for a moment.
"Lan Qing, where is our team advancing?"
"It's probably out of town."
Lu Lanqing replied very quickly.
"'The enemy is strong and I am weak,' and recognizing this, they resorted to a retrenched defense, and just this morning, many neo-Soviet trucks passed by, in the direction of the city center."
