Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Thanks to Dafu's efforts, we finally managed to wake up that honest man, and then we flew out. No matter what we did, breakfast was always an essential part of the meal.

So we decided to go find breakfast first. At this time of day, people should have finished eating and gone out to play. We just hoped that the leftovers at home wouldn't be in the refrigerator.

As soon as we flew out, a swarm of flies flew over our heads and disappeared into the distance in an instant. Damn, aren't those flies afraid of being killed by humans in broad daylight?

Isn't this too blatant? What are they trying to do?

Feeling quite annoyed, I wanted to ask Dafu to come with me, but Dafu stared longingly at the swarm of flies until they were out of sight, still gazing at them with fascination.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Come on, aren't you going to eat breakfast?" I said, flitting around her.

What's so interesting about this? Is this the first time a fly has seen its own kind since becoming a fly? It's acting like a teenage girl seeing her idol, all infatuated.

"Twenty-two cents, twenty-two cents, do you know who flew by just now?" Da Fu said happily.

"Who is it? Is it another armed flight formation?" I said, quite annoyed.

"That's the promotional formation for the annual flight competition!" Dafu exclaimed happily.

"What the heck?" I asked in surprise.

"It's a publicity formation! It's to announce that this year's flying competition is about to begin!" Dafu exclaimed happily.

"How did you know? How did you figure it out?" I asked in surprise. I just saw a swarm of flies fly past me; I couldn't possibly see any advertising slogans there.

"They said they formed a formation while flying, and the formation said 'The Flying Competition Has Begun'," Dafu said.

"It says there? I don't know where it is! Do you have it? I just saw a swarm of flies fly by." I exclaimed, quite annoyed.

"You can't read?" Dafu asked curiously.

"How could I not know the words? The problem is there really weren't any words there just now." I was so frustrated that I decided not to waste any more time on this.

"How could there be no words? It clearly says that the flying competition is about to start, hurry up and register, or you'll miss your chance," Dafu said, puzzled.

"I just saw a swarm of flies fly by, and there wasn't a single word on it," I said bluntly.

"Don't you understand fly script?" Dafu exclaimed in surprise.

"What English? I only know the twenty-six letters of the alphabet," I said, quite annoyed. Besides, the fly didn't even expel any English letters. I may not know the English alphabet, but I do know the alphabet.

"What? What are you talking about? I'm talking about fly script, the writing system of flies, or fly script for short," Dafu explained to me.

"Okay, I don't understand." I had no choice but to tell the truth. How could I possibly understand English? I don't even understand the English I've studied, let alone English, which I've never heard of before.

"So that's what it means. Let's go have breakfast quickly, and after breakfast we'll go watch the flying competition," Dafu said excitedly.

"Then why don't you mention Yiwen?" I asked curiously.

"Sigh, now that everyone speaks Mandarin, our own written language is almost disappearing. But what is national is also international, and we haven't completely forgotten it," Dafu said sadly.

"Is something that is national also international? Is that how it can be explained? I suddenly feel so ignorant."

“Now, not only our script, but so many human languages ​​have been standardized into Mandarin. While this helps with communication, our unique cultural elements are lost,” Dafu said with a touch of sadness.

Wow, how come you still have such a strong sense of national pride? I didn't see that coming from you.

I was so frustrated that I didn't know what to say, but what Dafu said was really true. The languages ​​of ethnic minorities are indeed slowly disappearing.

But I'm not an artist, nor am I part of a "misery competition" team. I'm going to risk my life to become human again. This global problem is not something I can solve, is it?

"Come on, stop being sad. Who do you think you are, worrying about those things? Go find some food and have breakfast. If all else fails, I'll take you to see that so-called flying competition later," I said from the side.

"Really? You really agree to take me to see it?" Dafu exclaimed happily.

"But what about you? We still have a long way to go," Dafu said, sounding a little aggrieved, as if he had remembered my situation.

"It's okay, being a little late is fine. It's just a trip to take a look," I said nonchalantly.

"Really? That's great! Let's go find something to eat, and we'll go right away after we finish eating," Dafu said happily.

Then I was able to fly outside. During the Spring Festival, most people were at home. The ten or so days that we transformed into flies had already passed.

Now everyone is waiting for the fifteenth of the lunar month, so many people have their doors open, either chatting at the door or going out to play.

The elderly people were mostly chatting at the door, while the young people were nowhere to be seen.

So when we flew over, we could basically see inside from the main entrance and what kind of food was on the tables in the lobby.

After visiting several places, there wasn't much food available. Nowadays, most people in rural areas have enough money to buy refrigerators, and eating leftovers is bad for your health.

So I flew to several places and the lobbies were all empty and clean. I always thought that it would be easier for flies to find food.

I never expected it to be so difficult.

After searching for a long time, I finally found something to eat in the lobby of a house. I thought it would be something delicious, but what I saw made me both laugh and cry.

Because those are children's snacks. Actually, there's nothing wrong with children's snacks, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

But it's an ice cream! How could I possibly eat ice cream in the dead of winter?

When I was still a human, I liked to eat ice cream, but it was because I was an adult.

But is it really okay to give ice cream to children?

Forget it, I'll just eat anyway. It's better than starving to death. So I slowly flew over.

When I arrived, I discovered that it was just a snack made to look like ice cream, but it was all made of flour.

That's good, then we can eat it. Dafu and I were about to rush towards the snacks when we noticed that there were already two flies on them.

Moreover, there was a large fly and a small fly, and the two flies were eating with great relish. As if sensing our arrival, they quickly looked towards us at the same time.

It was filled with vigilance and hostility...
