"Nancy wood? It's really hard to pronounce."
The girl beside the campfire said with a smile, her thin face flushed red by the light of the fire.
"Nan Nan is my official name, you can call me Zheng Yuan."
Zheng Yuan used wood to stir the fire so that it would burn more intensely.
"Why are there two names? It's like two people."
The girl asked curiously, curiosity flashing in her black and white eyes.
"Nancy wood is me, I am not Nancy wood."
Zheng Yuan looked at the orange fire, and the two rabbits roasted on it were sizzling and oily. The aroma attracted the girl's eyes and couldn't help but turn to the roasted rabbits.
"I don't understand."
The girl scratched her head and said in distress, while using her movements to cover up the fact that she was swallowing saliva.
"Hehehe, what's your name?"
When the conversation changed, Zheng Yuan asked casually, it didn't matter if Nancy Mu was him or not, because the boy he once ignited himself with a fire without adding fuel, Zheng Yuan was reborn from the sparks of embers, and at first Zheng Yuan thought Cover it up, just come back and think about it, Nan Ximu no longer has any relatives or friends in this world... But there is no need to tell these things so carefully to a person who meets by chance. If she becomes a friend in the future, she will ask Zheng Yuan this question. It's not that it's impossible to answer.
"My name is Yuanyuan, and my mother hopes that I can eat Yuanyuan."
Yuanyuan answered with a smile, revealing teeth that were neither white nor neat. Her somewhat rough skin and eyes that were so thin that they wrinkled when she smiled made her completely lack the beauty that a girl should have.
"Don't you have a last name?"
After adjusting the position of the roasted rabbit, Zheng Yuan asked casually, looking at the round and sharp face.
"...When my mother died, she forgot to tell me what my father's name was. I asked my neighbor's uncles and they didn't know, so I don't have a last name."
Yuanyuan lowered her head and said a little sadly.
"Sorry, I'll give you this roast rabbit as compensation."
Zheng Yuan handed over the roasted rabbit, which was browned on the outside, brushed with honey, and sprinkled with cumin and chili powder.
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. Wow, it smells so good."
Yuanyuan smiled, then took the roasted rabbit that was half her size in an exaggerated manner, and successfully lifted it.
"Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually very good. I can cultivate five acres of farmland every year. But the tax in the town is too high, and I always don't have enough to eat. Wow, this is so delicious."
Yuanyuan said cheerfully as she slurped while eating.
"Tell me how you met Cady Bird."
Zheng Yuan asked casually while eating the roasted rabbit that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, slightly spicy and slightly sweet.
"Hmm, isn't that a nice-looking bird? Hahaha, there was a famine a few years ago. I couldn't bear the hunger, so I fled with half a bag of tree roots left at home. I should have been running for five days. I was arrested because of my slow speed. I fell down and got lost. Fortunately, when I almost starved to death, I came across a very beautiful, jewel-like bird. It looked at me and then flew away, leaving a few jewel-like feathers on the spot. I was so hungry. I just ate it, it was the most delicious food I have ever tasted in my life.”
Yuanyuan didn't know what she was recalling, she didn't even eat the roasted rabbit, with an intoxicated expression on her face.
"Then what?"
Zheng Yuan asked.
"Then? Then I managed to follow the army to the edge of the city with those few feathers, and survived on the food that was given once every two days. Fortunately, someone was taking care of us at that time, otherwise I would definitely have been eaten. After all, I am so weak. The location is probably...emm, I forgot, but it should be in this direction, yes, and there is a very conspicuous stone where I met the beautiful big bird. I will meet it again. I can definitely remember it.”
Yuanyuan said firmly, and then started eating again, devouring it hungrily.
"That's good. It's so slow to say 100 million. I've been catching a few mellow rabbits for a long time, but there's not enough for me to eat from this one."
Killing half of the rabbit in one bite, Zheng Yuan said vaguely.
...
"Well, can I really take it? This should be very expensive, right? No, no, I'm just a guide, how can I..."
Looking at the giant gem-like egg in front of her, Yuanyuan waved her hands repeatedly and said, and then unknowingly, she couldn't move her eyes away, and she was drooling.
"Haha, take it, take it. It's all thanks to you this time. It's just your reward. By the way, how did you get to the depths of the Dolami Plain? And you weren't eaten by those beasts?"
Zheng Yuan was carrying a big bulging bag and holding a handful of bright feathers in his hand. He looked around with a little doubt. An elegant bird with feathers like gems was flying high in the air, screaming angrily and elegantly. There is a Mediterranean Sea in the head, which makes it look weird.
"It's luck, right? Or is it because I'm too skinny to eat well?"
Putting his round face against Kaidi's sweet egg, he said a little doubtfully.
"Then you can be said to be the chosen one. You actually ran on foot into the depths of the plains where an average of ten animals per kilometer are captured at level 5 or above, and you still came out alive."
Zheng Yuan said a little surprised, then picked up Yuanyuan and sat on Qiyi Yi.
"Let's go, it's time to eat!"
...
There was a full moon hanging high in the sky, looking like a white pastry.
On the ground, a familiar bonfire illuminated the faces of boys and girls. On the fire, an egg that shone brighter than a gem was bubbling and slowly solidifying. At the same time, the rich sweet fragrance spread into everyone who smelled it. In the heart of a person, it lingers for a long time.
"smell good!"
Just smelling the scent made Yuanyuan, whose rough skin became smooth and white, seem to float up, greedily inhaling the smell in the air.
"Hahaha, don't worry, it's still a long time before we're ready."
Zheng Yuan put his hand around Yuanyuan's head, which felt good to the touch, and said with a smile.
"I am already sixteen years old, brother Zheng Yuan, you are not allowed to touch my head!"
Yuanyuan jumped up vigorously.
"...you, sixteen?"
Looking at Yuanyuan, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, Zheng Yuan asked suspiciously.
"What's wrong? I can't help it because I'm malnourished and I can't grow taller. I'm so sorry that I look like a little girl..."
The circles under his round eyes turned red.
"No, it's just that I'm only fifteen..."
Zheng Yuan scratched his head and said.
"..."
They looked at each other, and the situation suddenly became a bit awkward.
...
"Goodbye, Zheng Yuan...brother."
Looking at the retreating figure, Yuanyuan jumped up high, waving her hands, her eyes blurred by tears.
"I will come to see you when I have the opportunity. When the time comes, you must be as round as your name, Yuanyuan."
Zheng Yuan also responded loudly.
"Okay! I will be round and round when the time comes. You must come."
Covering her mouth, Yuanyuan knelt down and sat on the ground, tears gushing out and tears streaming down her cheeks.
PS: md, I’m so tired of checking in. The updates should be a little more stable in the past few days. Let’s write a side story first. In addition, I can write a side story in conjunction with other works. I’m really a genius!
Note: Yuanyuan is an important character and an indispensable character in promoting the plot. I was worried that it would be a bit abrupt to have a character who was only mentioned once appear suddenly later, so I wrote this article specifically. I hope you don’t call me stupid. !
