Chapter 8: Blackwater City

Bai Zichen rubbed his eyes, walked into the courtyard, and shouted again: "Mom, what are you going to eat in the morning!"

Bai Zichen, who still hadn't received a response, looked up at the empty courtyard, was slightly stunned, and then remembered that his parents had left yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in his heart.

"Woohoo!"

At this moment, Xiaobai's cry sounded in the bamboo forest outside the courtyard gate, and then he only heard a running sound, and Xiaobai came out of the bamboo forest.

After seeing Bai Zichen standing in the courtyard, Xiao Bai thought that Bai Zichen was here to greet him, cheered, and rushed directly into Bai Zichen's arms, and at the same time rubbed in Bai Zichen's arms.

Bai Zichen hurriedly caught Xiao Bai, and at the same time was tickled by Xiao Bai, Bai Zichen couldn't help but laugh with Xiao Bai.

After Xiao Bai made such a fuss, the trace of loss in Bai Zichen's heart just now also disappeared.

After some fun, Xiao Bai probably felt a little tired, so he lay in Bai Zichen's arms very comfortably, and then hiccuped.

Bai Zichen only felt a milky fragrance coming to his face. Slightly stunned, he couldn't help touching Xiaobai's round little belly and asked: "What are you doing in the bamboo forest every morning, you will be covered in milk when you come back, it won't be pretending to be a baby dog to cheat on milk and drink." ”

It may be the instinct of animals, since the beginning of sensible, Xiaobai has a strong sense of territory, and especially likes to divide his own territory in the bamboo forest in the unique way of some demon beasts, and will go to patrol every morning.

But since two years ago, every morning when Xiaobai came back, he had a milky smell on his body, and every time his little belly was swollen, he didn't know what to eat.

Because of curiosity, Bai Zichen also secretly went out with Xiaobai a few times, wondering what Xiaobai was doing, but with Xiaobai's flexibility, Bai Zichen lost it every time.

But after a few times, Bai Zichen didn't care about it, after all, he had always treated Xiaobai as a relative, as long as Xiaobai was not in danger, Bai Zichen didn't care much about doing some of his own things every day.

Putting Xiaobai on the stool on the side, Bai Zichen came to the stove in the courtyard and prepared to make a fire to cook.

Cooking is still difficult for Bai Zichen, although Bai Zichen does not eat as much as Xiaobai, but he has no resistance to food

At the same time, Bai Zichen also likes to make delicious food, and the food made is beautiful and delicious, before Yu Xuerou jokingly said that Bai Zichen's cooking is so delicious, and he will be blessed to marry his wife in the future, at that time, this sentence also made the young Bai Zichen blush.

For breakfast, Bai Zichen made four dishes, two green vegetables, a stew, a roasted chicken, and a large pot of rice.

In fact, in normal times, Bai Zichen eats relatively light breakfast, but because he didn't cook for Xiaobai last night, today can be regarded as making up for Xiaobai.

And Xiaobai, who was watching Bai Zichen cooking on the side, was already drooling.

When Bai Zichen brought the food to the table, Xiao Bai immediately began to wreak up.

Every time he watched Xiaobai eat, Bai Zichen felt that Xiaobai must have starved to death in his previous life, and a whole table of dishes made Xiaobai eat seven, seven, eight or eight, plus half a pot of rice.

Fortunately, Bai Zichen already knew the amount of Xiaobai's food, so he made a lot of food, otherwise it is estimated that he would not be able to eat enough.

After gnawing the chicken leg that was finally snatched out of Xiaobai's mouth, Bai Zichen said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, take some money out in a while." ”

When Xiaobai heard this, he asked for money!

Subconsciously covered his space bell, and at the same time took two steps back vigilantly, only to fall off the stool cautiously.

Bai Zichen couldn't help but cry and laugh when he saw Xiaobai's movements: "When I was cooking just now, I found that there was not much food at home, so let's go to Blackwater City to buy something to eat later." ”

Xiaobai, who was originally going to find a chance to escape, heard that there was nothing to eat, so he stopped doing it at that time.

For Xiaobai, having no food is definitely worse than killing Bai Zichen.

So Xiao Bai immediately patted the bell on his neck, a silver light flashed, and a royal blue spar appeared on the table, Xiao Bai pushed the spar to Bai Zichen with a serious face, and nodded to Bai Zichen with a serious face.

Bai Zichen looked at the spar on the table, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth: "Xiaobai, let's go to buy grain, not to buy a grain store, you don't need a lower grade spirit stone, you just take a few silver coins." ”

Xiao Bai blinked his eyes, put away the spirit stone, took out the money bag, and handed it to Bai Zichen, Bai Zichen took out some gold and silver coins from the bag, put them in his arms, and threw the money bag back to Xiao Bai.

"It seems that in this little guy's heart, food is still more important than money. Bai Zichen couldn't help but think like this after throwing the money bag back to Xiaobai, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

It's just that I don't know, if Bai Zichen knew that having nothing to eat in Xiaobai's heart was more terrible than killing him, what would he think.

After cleaning up the tableware on the table, Bai Zichen took Xiao Bai and walked in the direction of Blackwater City.

Blackwater City is to the west of Bai Zichen's house, and it needs to be reached after passing through the bamboo forest.

There are many demon beasts living in this bamboo forest, and Bai Han never lets Bai Zichen leave his home too far.

But the strange thing is that on this route to Blackwater City, there are obviously no people, but there are no demon beasts.

So in recent years, going to Blackwater City to buy food and daily necessities has become Bai Zichen and Xiaobai's exclusive job.

After walking for about an hour, Bai Zichen walked out of the bamboo forest, and the shadow of Blackwater City could already be seen in the distance, and there were also many official roads nearby, and many people could be seen walking towards Blackwater City or walking out of the city.

The city lord of Blackwater City is named Murong Yan, and he is a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage.

The cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm, except for the cultivation period, which is not considered a real cultivation realm, can be roughly divided into nine realms.

Refining Qi, Building the Foundation, Expanding the Sea, Jindan, Yuanying, Transforming the Gods, Refining the Void, Mahayana, and Crossing the Tribulation.

And Murong Yan can become the lord of a city with the cultivation of the Yuan infant stage, which shows that he definitely has his own unique means.

You must know that Blackwater City can be said to be the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, so there are often some traders who come to Blackwater City to sell and purchase goods, which can be said to be very prosperous.

However, as he got closer and closer to Blackwater City, Bai Zichen found that there seemed to be a lot of people today, and the queues to enter the city were all far away.

By the time Bai Zichen entered the city, it was already afternoon.

Once in the city, it becomes even more lively, the streets are filled with the sound of hawking, and all kinds of festive costumes are hung on both sides of the street, as if it is a festival.

Bai Zichen took Xiaobai and came to a shop with a familiar car.

On the counter in the store, a middle-aged man was sitting at this time, the man looked to be in his forties, his height and waist circumference were almost 1.6 meters, and he was checking the accounts with an abacus and a ledger.

"Uncle Wang!" Bai Zichen saw the man, smiled and shouted.

Wang Xi heard someone shouting to himself, hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Bai Zichen, he hurriedly put down the account book, held up his round belly, and greeted him with enthusiasm.

"Hey, who did I come at that time, Xiao Zichen, you haven't come to see Uncle Wang for more than a month, your father is fine. Then he lowered his head and said from Xiaobai on the ground: "Xiaobai, you are also here, I don't think Uncle Wang has it." ”

Xiaobai shook his head very dryly.

This old Wang family's store, although it is not the largest store in Blackwater City, is indeed the store with the most complete goods, and the quality of the goods is particularly good, so the food used by Bai Zichen's family over the years has always been the goods of this store.

When Bai Zichen was young before, Bai Han always brought him here, so Wang Xi also knew Bai Han.

Bai Zichen said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern, my father is very good, and he asked me to greet my uncle before I came." ”

Wang Xi laughed: "Brother Bai can still remember my old Wang, it's really rare!"

As he spoke, Wang Xi also took down two apples from the shelves on the side, one was stuffed into Bai Zichen's hand, and the other leaned over and handed it to Xiao Bai.

"Come to Xiaobai, uncle invites you to eat fruit!"

Xiaobai saw that how could he be polite to you, so he hugged the apple handed over by Wang Xi in his arms, and shouted at Wang Xi twice to express his gratitude, then sat on the ground and began to gnaw.

However, Bai Zichen was not polite, and directly took a bite on the apple and said, "Uncle Wang, the main reason why I came this time is that the food at home is not enough, so I came to buy something to eat." ”

As he spoke, Bai Zichen reached out and took out a list from his arms and handed it to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi took it and looked at it: "Drink, it's still so much, don't worry, I'll ask the guy to go to the treasury to help you prepare, but Zichen, I've always wanted to ask, you have a lot of people in your family, and the food you buy every month is enough for the average family for a year." ”

When Bai Zichen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiaobai, who had already finished eating the apple, and then looked at Xiaobai who was the apple in his hand.

"There are quite a lot of people, mainly because I am in the refining period now, and I consume a lot of cultivation every day, so I can eat more. ”

Bai Zichen said half-truthfully, and then handed the apple in his hand that he had bitten into Xiaobai.

Xiaobai didn't dislike it, he hugged it directly, and gnawed it with a smile.

After watching the guy on the side take the list and go down to prepare, Bai Zichen said to Wang Xi: "Uncle Wang, when I first entered the city, I saw a lot of people in the city today, is there something wrong?"

"It's a big deal. Wang Xi smiled and said, "Our Lord of Blackwater City, Murong Yan, do you know. ”

Bai Zichen nodded again and again: "I know, I heard that the city lord seems to be a great cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage." ”
