He opened the bamboo cage. In his impression, this was the place where bread was kept.
According to the magician's habit, he would usually order people to make more bread so that when he wanted to eat, there would be something to eat. Unlike the other noble sister, the bread she wanted to eat was made a little earlier before the main meal and then baked. In the words of a certain magician, if you wanted to eat at the last minute, by the time the bread was ready, you would have starved to death.
As soon as the bamboo cage was opened, it was full of bread. When the other children saw this, they also went to open the bamboo cages in the same row. Of course, there were all kinds of food stored inside. There were several kinds of bread, among which there was soft toast in the center. If it was smeared with a layer of peanut butter or strawberry jam, it was Ezio's favorite.
Some of the gluttonous ones directly picked up a baguette and gnawed on it, but everyone still tried to put it in their pockets. Anyway, they had already stolen it. Whether they took more or less, it would be the same when they were discovered. So it was better to take as much as possible.
But Ezio was not like the others, desperately trying to take the bread that had already been baked and could be eaten directly. He turned to another large box, which was a magic prop that could maintain the internal temperature. It could be high or low, and for some food that was easy to rot and stink, it could be stored at low temperatures for a longer time. This was the maze version of the refrigerator that someone had made.
Finding the refrigerator, Ezio's goal was the milk kept inside. According to what those sisters said, this thing is very good. Although it could not be eaten, it was necessary to drink it if one wanted to grow taller. If one was not feeling well, they could drink some milk to maintain their basic physical strength.
And not only did people drink it, but the cats also liked to drink it, so it should be good stuff. Ezio wanted to take it back and let Lucy have a taste.
But this thing was in a jar, and it could not be left outside for too long, so Ezio only took a jar of milk. He still remembered that he had looked back to play once, but the milk had been left outside for too long, and when he drank it, there was a very pungent sour taste. That night, he had diarrhea and was unable to get out of bed for two whole days. That was not a good feeling.
Seeing that the others had already taken it, they could not take any more. Not only did they have to wrap up the clothes, they also had to wrap it up to the tip of their fingers. They also had to clamp it between their armpits and the crook of their hands and bite it in their mouths. From the looks of it, even walking would be a problem. Ezio quickly whispered, "If you've taken enough, then leave. Don't mess this place up." If we haven't been discovered, we can come back again. "
The children hurriedly nodded and put the bamboo cages back to their original positions. After thinking that they had done a good job of concealing themselves, they left the kitchen one by one. Ezio was the one with the emptiest hands. Other than holding a can of milk, he also took the bread that the others could not carry. When he was about to leave, his sharp eyes saw something incredible — chocolate bars made of cocoa.
This thing was unforgettable after eating it once. The greedy Ezio hastily wrapped a few pieces in oiled paper, put them in his pocket, and followed the other children.
The return trip was different from the previous one because everyone had a lot of things in their hands. This made the children even more cautious. He wasn't afraid that the food would fall to the ground or anything, but he was afraid that someone would come and snatch the food in his hands.
In the lower streets, not everyone was willing to help each other; more people lived by snatching things from other people's hands. Therefore, on the way back, the children walked stealthily, and they were much slower.
When they returned to everyone's place of residence, it could be said that they would divide the spoils on the spot. Some of the children who had been sleeping with hunger were woken up again. They were about to get angry when they were stuffed with food in their mouths, so they couldn't get angry. They were overjoyed to eat the food that they didn't know where it came from and sang praises of the warriors who brought it.
Ezio and Willie came to Lucy's side. The two of them were like treasures. One took out milk and the other took out white toast, coaxing the girl, who had never had much of an appetite, to eat a little.
She tore off the side of the toast, revealing the soft white part inside. The girl had never seen such bread. She tore off a small piece effortlessly, which was completely different from pulling off the black bread with all her strength.
If it was the hard bread of the past, the girl would always have to hold it in her mouth for a long time when she wanted to eat it. She had to wait until she salivated and soaked the black bread until it was soft before she could swallow it. But when the white toast was placed in her mouth, the soft texture was something that she had never experienced before. A faint fragrance and saltiness covered her taste buds. The girl thought that maybe this was the taste of 'happiness'.
Taking out a bowl, Ezio poured three or four parts of milk and handed it out. "Drink this and see."
Looking at the white and shiny liquid under the moonlight, Lucy was a little confused. It was only after Ezio took a small sip that the girl realized that it was something to drink. She took the broken bowl with a gap, but even if it was not half full, it was still a little difficult for the girl to hold it with one hand. But she still took it and drank a mouthful.
It was a completely different taste from water. The smooth texture instantly conquered the taste buds that were used to eating coarse food. The girl couldn't use her poor feelings and vocabulary to describe what kind of taste it was.
"Dip the toast in milk and it tastes pretty good," Ezio said in a bewitching voice.
Lucy followed suit, and then the taste of happiness made her unable to speak for a long time. The only thing she could do was to take one bite after another. Next to him, Ezio advised, "Eat slowly, eat slowly." Don't eat too fast, you'll choke. "
Seeing that there was something different, the children who were sharing the bread naturally gathered around Ezio. There were also those who were smart enough to bring a bowl over.
Ezio did not refuse any of them and poured a little milk for each of them. Willy wanted to stop him and leave more for his sister. But when Ezio saw his expression, he smiled and said, "Share it with everyone. Milk is different from bread. This can't be stored for a few days. You have to drink it quickly, or it will spoil. "
Even if Willy wanted to object, he had no good reason to explain it. However, such a commotion naturally disturbed the children who were sleeping further away, including Rowan.
The older child who was taking care of and leading everyone suddenly saw so much food, and a lot of it had been eaten or was being eaten. He asked with an ugly expression, "Where did this come from?"
Ezio stood up and said, "I saw that everyone was hungry, and no one was watching over the food, so I brought someone to get it."
"But …"
Seeing that the person in front of him still wanted to talk nonsense, Ezio did the same thing and stuffed the softest part of the toast into Rowan's mouth. At the same time, he raised a can and gave the older child a mouthful of milk.
Maybe because everyone was starving, their thoughts weren't as complicated as the adults. Even Rowan, who was the most worried, had to compromise with the food. But as he chewed, he asked worriedly, "Will there really be no problem if we bring this back?"
"Don't worry. Even if a mage leaves a magic mark, he won't leave it on the food. Let's hurry up and finish it. If we shit, we can only look for the person in the river. It's impossible to find the mark on us. "
Despite Ezio's assurance, Rowan still felt that something was wrong. However, with his experience and vision, he couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, his stomach defeated his reason. Besides, the bread was so delicious that he didn't care what the consequences were.
While the children were eating heartily, in a dark place where the moonlight couldn't reach, a bald gray cat and a girl in white cat clothes lay quietly. They just watched quietly.
