Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Eating at in Big Bites Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Eating at in Big Bites The Foolish Boy didn’t care, dashed upstairs, jumped onto Uncle Ah Fei’s bed with a brisk step, and buried his face in his arms, still shivering uncontrollably despite being in a familiar environnt.
Li Wenli and the others had already cleaned the place, and the tattered quilt Uncle Ah Fei used was buried with him, leaving only a wiped clean bed.
The cold moonlight stread through the window, slowly covering the back of the foolish boy as if draping him with a silver blanket.
However, the blanket had no warmth, and the foolish boy did not notice this silent moonlight; he still couldn’t help shivering uncontrollably on the bed.
Just as the Foolish Boy was trapped in terrifying mories of being chased, suddenly, a scent of at filled the room.
Soon, a warm hand rested on his shoulder.
“Shivering like this, are you hungry?”
The voice was soft and warm, pulling the Foolish Boy back from his fright, and as he opened his eyes, he saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing in front of him.
Her brows and eyes were full of worry, strikingly similar to his Royal Mother.
But this was just a fleeting mory, and soon the Foolish Boy noticed Bai Sasa standing beside him with Bai Lingyu and Xiao Shan also carefully watching him.
As the Foolish Boy was stunned, Bai Sasa extended a bowl to him, inside which was a large piece of fragrantly grilled at.
The Foolish Boy imdiately forgot his fear, staring intently at the piece of at.
“This is the thank-you gift that eldest sister asked to give you.”
Bai Sasa mustered her courage before placing the bowl with the grilled at by the Foolish Boy’s side.
Thanks to the Foolish Boy’s antics the night before, Bai Sasa had developed an inexplicable fear of the boy, so even though she later learned it wasn’t intentional, she still felt uneasy inside.
The eldest sister saw her weakness and thus had her bring the grilled at to this brother, saying that fear in mind was most deadly; without addressing it, the problems would only grow, hence she had to confront her fear head-on.
Thanks to the eldest sister’s arrangent, Bai Sasa saw the pitiful and vulnerable side of the Foolish Brother, lying helplessly on the bed sobbing and in tears, which sohow reminded her of her days fleeing hardship.
Back then, she and Xiao Yu, treated like two-legged sheep, would also hug each other seeking warmth.
The Foolish Boy, frightened by the carcass of the Human Eagle, imdiately ran to Uncle Ah Fei’s room, surely they must have had a deep connection before.
Now, having lost Uncle Ah Fei, the Foolish Boy was like drifting duckweed in the ocean, helpless and isolated.
Bai Sasa’s heart softened imdiately, and her tone grew gentler.
The foolish boy glanced at the grilled at placed beside the bed and quickly grabbed it and started gnawing on it.
Tasting the flavor of Salt for the first ti in years, the boy showed a fleeting expression of emotion.
He looked at the at with surprise, as if searching for so mory, but overwheld by his cravinigs, he wolfed it down without further thought.
Bai Sasa, watching the Foolish Brother’s deanor, couldn’t help but sigh, “Take your ti eating. If it’s not enough, co and find us later; we still have plenty more.”
The Foolish Boy ignored her, continuing to eat delectably.
Bai Sasa then took her two younger brothers downstairs.
On the way ho, they saw the n from the Tube-shaped Building gathering in twos and threes, having closed their doors.
What was usually a silent Death Valley at night was now lively with every household starting fires for grilling at, thanks to the Man-eating Eagle.
The people, who lived off the ager vegetables and husks distributed by the authorities, had long forgotten the taste of at.
