Chapter 1637: Uncle Mag Is Really Good

“I ordered this specially for you two. The two of you haven’t had a proper meal for the entire day. I’ve already ordered some food for myself.” Christopher pushed the plate of fried rice back in front of Lucy, and looked at her empathetically. This little girl is really too sensible. She looks so thin and frail. She must have been starving for a very long time.

“Thank you.” Lucy looked at Christopher, and thanked him gratefully. She scooped up a spoonful of fried rice, and sent it to Darren’s mouth as she said, “Darren, open up. This fried rice is as colorful as the rainbow.”

“Rainbow?!” Darren’s eyes lit up. He opened his mouth in anticipation.

The slightly hot fried rice entered his mouth, and the delicious taste started blooming in his mouth together with the steam. He started chewing carefully. The texture of the rice and the other ingredients was very fine. The different tastes started dissolving in his mouth, just like a colorful, vibrant flower blossoming in his mouth. It was such a surprise and indulgence to eat it.

“This is egg, and... and...” Darren could only make out the smell of egg and rice. The rest felt foreign, but they were all so delightful.

The delightful taste lingered in his mouth, and after swallowing, he could feel warm all over. It was very comfortable.

Lucy looked at Darren, who closed his eyes in bliss, and expectantly asked, “Is it good?”

“Mm-hm, mm-hm. It’s delicious!” Darren nodded. He grabbed Lucy’s hand, and said, “Big Sister, try it too. It’s really very good.”

“It’s alright. I’ll eat later. I’ll feed you first.” Lucy scooped another spoonful for Darren, and was also beaming brightly.

She had not seen Darren smile like that for a very long time—ever since their grandpa passed away. It seemed like Darren really liked this fried rice.

A child at this age should be studying in Chaos School, and not be going through suffering, Christopher thought to himself as he watched the siblings sitting in front of him.

Only after feeding Darren his plate of Yangzhou fried rice, and making sure that he was already full, did Lucy start eating.

When she put the warm rice into her mouth, the steam started to blur her vision.

What a delightful taste. It was like the meal that their mother used to make with wild mushrooms and wild boar lard. Sometimes, there would be small cubes of dried sausage.

However, it had been so many years, and she could not remember clearly what their mother looked like.

That fateful day, she went to the forest with their father just as before, but they never came back.

She was only five, and Darren just learned how to walk.

Their grandpa would constantly tell them that their parents would come back with a huge haul until the day he died, but when she slowly grew up, she finally realized that they were never coming back.

She was only left with Darren, her only brother, in this world.

After finishing her plate of Yangzhou fried rice silently, Lucy’s eyes became moist. She turned to look at Darren. If his eyes could not be treated, she would take care of him for the rest of his life.

“Your roasted pig’s eyes, husband and wife lung slice, and rum.” Miya walked over with a tray, and placed two plates and a glass of rum down gently.

“Is this roasted pig’s eyes?” Lucy looked at the plate that was piled with meatballs. The pig’s eyes were skewered together, and they were roasted to a beautiful brown, which made them surprisingly not that scary. A layer of oil gleamed on the surface, and they gave off an enticing smell of grilled meat.

“Roasted pig’s eyes.” Darren shrank back. Although this might be the cure to his eyes, he could not help but feel scared. The image of the wild boar’s eye that his grandfather shot through started surfacing in his mind. It was a rather scary scene.

“Yes. This is roasted pig’s eyes. It may sound scary, but it is very delicious. Besides, my eyes got better after eating this,” Christopher said with a smile and a nod. He continued, “However, this roasted pig’s eyes are fresh off the grill, so it’s still very hot inside. You have to wait for a while before you can start eating.”

“Mm-hmm.” Lucy nodded. She looked at the roasted pig’s eyes with anticipation. Although it was not for certain that Darren’s eyes could be completely healed after having this, at least this was the first definite way that someone told them about after they came to Chaos City.

Christopher took a sip of the rum, and looked at the roasted pig’s eyes equally expectantly.

Everyone knew that he was Abbott Jewelry Store’s accountant, but very few knew that he actually had a share in the gold shop. It had been a long time since he was in need of money, but some things couldn’t be measured with money.

For example, the 15-year-old Old Sim’s rum. For another example, just doing something to help a blind kid see again. Such joy could not be compared with selling a million pieces of jewelry in a day.

Around three minutes later, Christopher picked up a skewer of roasted pig’s eyes, and bit onto one first. After using his teeth and tongue to test out the temperature carefully to make sure that his mouth could take the heat, he bit into it.

The warm liquid burst out in his mouth, followed by the taste. The anticipation and uneasiness were all released at that moment, bringing him joy.

Christopher swallowed the thoroughly chewed pig’s eyes, and looked at Lucy with a smile as he said, “Come, let your brother try this game that he would not be able to find anywhere else. But be careful, close your mouth tightly the moment you bite into the eyeball. Otherwise, the precious liquid will all squirt out.”

“Mm-hmm.” Lucy picked up a skewer, and put it to Darren’s mouth as she said, “Darren, open up. It’s just like the candied haw you had this morning. Bite off the first roasted pig’s eyes.”

“Mm-hmm.” Darren opened his mouth obediently, and waited for Lucy to put the pig’s eye into his mouth before biting off the pig’s eye from the skewer.

The moment the roasted pig’s eyes entered his mouth, what surprised Darren was that instead of a slimy and sticky texture, it felt more like grilled meat, where the surface was a little burnt. However, when he touched it with his teeth, it felt springy like a full swim bladder.

“Yes. Hold it in your mouth, and try to bite into it with your teeth. Remember, don’t use too much force, or you might not be able to control your mouth, and then you won’t be able to keep all the liquid in your mouth,” Christopher reminded Darren.

Upon hearing that, Darren tried to use his teeth to bite onto the pig’s eye, but the surface of the pig’s eye was firm, and it was very springy, so it kept darting around in his mouth like a naughty little child. He was a little afraid that the eyeball would burst in his mouth, yet he was a little looking forward to the feeling of it bursting up. Would it really allow him to see again?

Amidst his uneasiness and anticipation, he finally managed to grip the pig’s eye with his teeth and bite into it.

Pop~

The sound of the eyeball bursting rang in his head very clearly.

That made him shake a little.

However, before he could think about it, the slightly warm liquid had already squirted everywhere. If not for Christopher’s reminders, he definitely wouldn’t be able to close his mouth in time.

The slightly thick and tasty liquid attracted all his attention. It tasted a little like bone broth, but it was multiple times thicker and stickier than the bone broth he had tasted. It gave him immeasurable joy, and he blanked out.

The uneasiness and anticipation were perfectly rewarded at that very moment!

After swallowing the liquid, he started to chew whatever was remaining. Underneath the firm eyeball surface were some crunchy bone-like parts. The slightly burnt surface tasted better the more he chewed. It was an equally great experience.

On top of that, what surprised Darren more was that there was a cooling sensation gathering at his eyes, and it seemed that there was a trace of light within the darkness that was covering his vision.

“Big Sister Anna, do you think that big brother’s eyes would heal?” Anna was holding Ugly Duckling in her arms as she sat behind the counter, looking at Darren.

“I think so. Uncle Mag is really good.” Anna nodded with conviction

“Haha, I think so too.”
