Chapter 11 Little Fool...
Two days later, on a clear morning, Ye Huan woke up to the sound of frantic knocking. He stretched his waist, and every muscle was sore and aching, with his joints making cracking sounds, as if he had pulled all his muscles, not life-threatening but enough to torment him to death.
This unbearable taste, combined with her habitual morning temper, almost made Ye Huan burst out in a loud scolding.
But when he opened the door and saw who was standing outside and what they looked like, he let out a sigh of dismay.
"Old, old big!" Bai Xiaobai's eyes were red-rimmed, crouched outside the door, shivering and curled up into a ball. Last night's heavy snowfall had already covered his small head with a half-inch thick layer of snowflakes, apparently he had been waiting outside for an unknown amount of time. "You haven't come out for two days, I was worried about your heart... This morning when I saw you still hadn't come out, I, I..."
"So you've been guarding here for two days and two nights?"
The fire had all gone out, and Ye Huan wrapped her arms around Bai Xiaowei's shoulders and walked into the house, letting him snuggle into his warm quilt.
This dormitory is a one-bedroom suite, with the bedroom inside and a narrow space outside that combines a dining room and kitchen. Ye Huan rummaged around the stove, wanting to make a bowl of ginger soup to warm up Bai Xiaobai, but what made him blush was that the kitchen layout was so unfamiliar to him that he couldn't even find the ginger and brown sugar, let alone know where the firewood for cooking was.
Gulu, gulu.
After sleeping for two days, Ye Huan's stomach also unexpectedly issued a protest. He awkwardly exchanged glances with Bai Xiaobai, and then the rumbling sounds from his stomach grew louder.
"Alas, my elder brother, without me taking care of you, you really can't survive a single day!"
Bai Xiaobai got up with a painful expression, skillfully flipped out several cooking utensils from under the stove, then one small hand grasped an egg and cracked it open, mixing it into an omelette with flour. The other small hand skillfully grabbed a spatula to heat the pan - for the past two years he had been taking care of Ye Huan like this. To put it in a more touching way, without Bai Xiaobai's careful care, Ye Huan wouldn't have survived those early dark days.
The egg was quickly fried, and looking at the thin pancake delivered to his face, Ye Huan was surprised for a long time. "Only one? What about you? What are you eating?"
"I'm fine! Had a great meal!"
Bai Xiaobai chuckled and smugly patted his flat belly.
But do you think Ye Huan is a fool? A poor student who has been waiting outside the door for two days and two nights, can he cook for himself or buy some takeout to eat?
In fact, Bai Xiaobai's life was even more bitter than Ye Huan had imagined. No matter how stingy the principal was, as a former hero, Ye Huan still had free food supplies of one egg and a few pieces of bread every day. But Bai Xiaobai's living expenses had already been spent in this move, just like many poor students outside, his first worry every morning when he opened his eyes was that he had no money to eat.
Take out the knife, fork and plate from the kitchen, cut the omelette into two pieces, leave the smaller one for yourself and give the larger one to Bai Xiaobai. Ye Huan pointed at the egg very seriously, "This is mine, that is yours, no objection allowed, dismissed immediately!"
"Hey, hey, big brother, take care of your little brother's feelings!"
Bai Xiaobai's eyes immediately turned red, he rubbed his sore little nose, but before he could say anything, Ye Huan pressed his head down to make him lean on the plate...
In a chairless dining hall, the two of them sat facing each other in silence, like a pair of poor and wretched people. One gazed out at the snowy scene outside the window while the other nibbled on their half slice of omelette.
Unfortunately, this slightly happy atmosphere in the midst of sorrow was soon ruined by someone.
That was outside the window, a large group of robust men in black, marching in unison to the rear mountain dormitory area. They all wore uniform red armor, with short knives at their waists and batons in hand. Because they formed a neat queue like an army formation, Ye Huan quickly counted their number - 500 almost identical tall, sturdy, and elite soldiers exuding an aura of crack troops!
Especially their red helmets, on the forehead position, are engraved with a pattern of a crimson triangle frame - red, representing blood, is the symbol of the armed forces of the Holy See, this army is clearly the guard troops near Donglin Divine Academy.
After these soldiers occupied every important intersection, they lined up in welcoming formation on both sides. A man in his thirties, dressed in a particularly magnificent red armor, walked in with the soldiers' respect, playing with a large Damascus curved knife that was famous before the Great Calamity. Such a famous weapon from before the Great Calamity can now be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins on the black market.
And his muscles, as robust as a leopard's, and the faintly contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, all indicated that this man was not the Billy Cobb of a few days ago, but one of the powerful high-ranking officials in Donglin.
Behind this man, more than a dozen large engineering vehicles followed, one of which was a large excavator that had been preserved from the disaster and came to a dormitory building with a loud rumble. It raised its huge shovel high in the air and shouted: "Students inside, listen! The three-day relocation deadline has arrived. You have five minutes to evacuate the dormitory. Five minutes later, the security team will unconditionally demolish it!"
"Boboff!?"
"Bai Xiaobai trembled with anxiety, 'Boss, it's over, it's over! Popov has arrived! Billy is missing and the Academy actually sent that number one villain Popov again. Don't just stand there, hurry up and run, Popov is an eighth-level Grand Soul Master, he's really formidable!'"
Ye Huan's eyes were filled with interest.
Baboff, seemingly the head of the academy's security department, is indeed noble, but he is also a devout fanatic blessed by the Pope himself. He can be beaten and scolded, but it seems that no one has dared to kill him in public... What a great opportunity!
Thinking so, Ye Huan slowly and steadily finished the egg pancake, took off his outer garment under Bai Xiaobai's stunned gaze, and put on a magnificent and valuable snow-white missionary robe by his side. Next was a crown made of thorny grass, symbolizing Dandan's black goat necklace, and of course, there was also that thick "Dandan Scripture" that scared people to death...
In this slow and hesitant movement, as if waiting for something, someone finally pushed the door open and rushed in. It was Lushu, who had been seen two days ago. "Huan Ge, you said you would help us out of trouble, is that still valid?"
