Chapter 240 (2/2)

Then, the two people walked back along the same route.

On the way back, Yuan Zhou carried the honeycomb on his head. Although it was heavy, Yuan Zhou felt it well deserved his efforts. It had to. After all, he had sacrificed his pretty face to get the honeycomb.

Of course, if it wasn’t because the propolis was solid at the beginning, he would have already daubed it so that he needn’t carry the several big bulges on his face.

“Uncle, are you also sick?” when Yuan Zhou and Liuzi walked into the aged man’s home, the little boy came out of the house and asked Yuan Zhou in surprise.

“Nope.” Yuan Zhou denied.

“Then what’s the matter of the big bulge on your face?” Asked the boy persistently.

“Ah, it’s stung by the bees. Don’t worry, it will vanish soon after I daub the propolis,” said Yuan Zhou with indifference.

“Oh, I see.” When he heard that, the little boy turned around and left quietly. It seemed his mood was likewise affected and he was not as lively as before.

“Let’s get the bee pupae out.” While looking at the little boy, Yuan Zhou pulled himself together and then turned around, saying to Liuzi.

“Ok, Let me do it.” Liuzi offered to undertake this work.

“Then I leave the work to you. Please get all the pupae out of the honeycomb. I don’t need them,” said Yuan Zhou with a smile.

“Thank you.” While receiving the honeycomb, Liuzi said to Yuan Zhou.

“You are welcome.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou stood up and prepared to wash up so that he could daub the medicine.

Meanwhile, Liuzi opened the honeycomb carefully. What leaped to the eyes next was a hexagonal honeycomb inside of which some amber honey in both liquid and solid form was scattered along with some beautiful pink crystals as well.

“This honey is quite different from what I have collected before.” Looking at the pure and beautiful honey, Liuzi said with puzzlement.

“This is produced by Xiongyi bees.” Yuan Zhou told him nothing more but the name.

“So it’s the Xiongyi bee. No wonder the stings are so severe,” after recognizing it carefully, Liuzi said affirmatively.

“Yeah, it’s indeed ferocious.” Yuan Zhou pressed the bulges on his body and refrained himself from scratching them.

“So it is. That creature is omnivorous and also eats meat,” said Liuzi with some lingering fear.

“It doesn’t matter. We don’t need to go there again.” Yuan Zhou signaled Liuzi to get the pupae out first. Only after that could he cut, boil, purify and then use the propolis.

When Liuzi finished, it was almost the dinner time. As usual, Yuan Zhou headed for Mr. Ma’s home while carrying two bowls of Clear Broth Noodle Soup. However, he was straightforwardly sneered at before he had barely entered his home.

“Tsk-tsk. This young man went to collect the honeycomb today, huh?” Appeared on Mr. Ma’s face was a manner of contempt when he spoke.

“This is your dinner.” Yuan Zhou just neglected his question and set the bowl on the table.

“You aren’t really stupid and even know that propolis can cure the bulge.” As a matter of fact, there were only a few inconspicuous red points left on Yuan Zhou’s face. It was just that Mr. Ma smelled the flavor of the propolis.

“Thank you.” With a calm manner, Yuan Zhou thanked him for his compliment. Yes, Yuan Zhou had basically taken such words of Mr. Ma as a compliment.

“Ho Ho. You feed me the noodle soup every day. It seems that you can only cook that single food.” Mr. Ma looked at the Clear Broth Noodle Soup with a manner of contempt. Despite that, he acted quickly and started to eat.

“It’s convenient and suitable for you,” Yuan Zhou said concisely.

Naturally, Mr. Ma didn’t talk to him while eating. Therefore, Yuan Zhou just stayed at the side and began to eat his noodles quietly.

Concentration was a must during the process of savoring delicious food.
