Chapter 22:

After nightfall, the surroundings were pitch black except for the dim yellow light of the fire in the stove.

Xia Mo squatted at the door and had already stared at the autumn water. Seeing Lin Ling entered the courtyard, he couldn't wait to say: "You are finally back."

Lin Ling knew that the child didn't expect her to return home safely, but just wanted to eat meat earlier, so she washed her hands and went to the stove to uncover the pot, and the smell of meat mixed with spices came out, which made her endure I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

At the end of Xia, he was lying on the stove, staring at the steaming stew in the pot with burning eyes, and kept swallowing: "It's cooked?"

"I'll give it a try." It was also Lin Ling's first time to stew rabbit meat, and he was not sure, so he picked up a piece and tasted it.

The meat was a little hot, and Lin Ling blew it several times before putting it into his mouth. The saltiness was moderate, and the taste was okay.

Xiaolu arched Linling's hand: how does it taste? I want to eat too.

Lin Ling lowered her head and glanced at Xiaolu, then saw Xia Mo also staring eagerly, and asked how she was doing?

"It's okay." Lin Ling asked him to turn off the fire, then took out three bowls and filled each with a warm potato stewed rabbit/meat.

Little Green shook the leaves: I want a lot of meat, not potatoes.

Lin Ling twitched the corner of her mouth, "You don't have to worry about stomach pain if you eat meat alone."

Little Green put her hands on her hips ferociously: I want meat! I need a lot of meat, I have worked very hard today.

"What's fierce? It's not that I won't give it to you." Lin Ling looked Xiaolu's small body up and down. It only ate meat and didn't eat anything else, and it didn't grow into a man, and the meat it ate didn't know how to grow where it goes? Are you angry?

After dividing the meat, Xiaolu plunged headlong into the pile of meat, only to see it jump into the cold water in the next second: careless, it was so hot.

Lin Ling: "..."

On the other side, Xia Mo squatted in front of the stove with a bowl of warm potato stewed rabbit/meat and started to eat it hungrily.

As soon as he ate it in his mouth, Xia Mo's tongue was numb from the scalding hot potatoes. He quickly exhaled, "It's so hot..."

Xiaolu, who just came out of a cold bath, saw Mo Xia sticking out her tongue in embarrassment, and shook the leaves gloatingly: It deserves it.

Xia Mo coldly glanced at the gloating little green, "It's better than your leaves being scalded soon."

Xiaolu got on her hips angrily, and wanted to jump up and hit Xia Mo, but Lin Ling gave her a stare back. Before she left, she didn't forget to say to Xia Mo: Forget it, I'll let you go for her sake.

Lin Ling sighed from the bottom of her heart, fortunately this little ancestor can listen to persuasion, otherwise it would be troublesome if it really broke out!

At the end of Xia, he continued to eat with big mouthfuls. This was the first time he ate this kind of hot dish. He thought it was better than the fried potatoes and fried pork that he made last time. "It's delicious."

In fact, Lin Ling just cooked it blindly, the meat was overcooked, and the taste was a bit heavy, just any old foodie would dislike it, and only those who have experienced hot pot in the last days will not picky eaters: "There is still in the pot, eat it You can add another bowl when you're done."

Although there is no staple food, such a big bowl of meat is enough to make them full. After eating, they tacitly did not add any more vegetables, saving it for tomorrow.

Lin Ling looked at half of the vegetable soup with oil and water in the bowl, "If there is rice, I can eat another bowl with this soup."

At the end of Xia Xia, he didn't know what rice tasted like, nor did he know what leftover rice soup tasted like, but based on the taste of potato stew, he imagined that it should be delicious, so he began to look forward to the rice growing in the field soon .

When the two of them were eating happily, there was a sound outside the door.

Lin Ling looked outside the courtyard wall vigilantly. After a pause, there was another movement at the door. She put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a wooden stick and walked outside.

The movement outside the door suddenly stopped, and then there was the barking of a mutant dog.

Lin Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice of the mutated dog, but he didn't completely let go of his vigilance. What was the mutated dog doing squatting at the door of his house at night?

"What are you doing?" Lin Ling asked aloud.

The mutated dog barked in a low voice: Change the meat.

For meat?

What meat to replace?

Lin Ling opened the half-slit of the door, and saw the mutated dog dragging a mutated rabbit standing at the door, she was stunned: "Our rabbits are all the same, what meat do you want to replace?"

The mutated dog whined into the house, meaning that it wanted to exchange raw rabbits for her family's meat.

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows and eyes with pride when she understood it. It seems that the potato stewed rabbit meat she made was really delicious. The mutated dog smelled it and came all the way to exchange the meat.

Thinking of a large pot of potatoes stewed with rabbit meat, Lin Ling felt that this business was accepted, "Yes."

Lin Ling moved a giant rabbit into the house, and Xiaolu jumped up happily: Did you find the rabbit?

Lin Ling said, "I didn't pick it up, but the mutated dog wanted to trade rabbits for meat from us."

Xiaolu watched Lin Ling scoop up a large bowl of meat for the mutant dog, and jumped up to stop her: "Don't give it, these are mine, I want to eat them!"

Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu who was protecting the food: "But I have already accepted the rabbit."

"If you don't give it back, you have to return the rabbit to it."

Xiaolu shook her head: No, not yet! Don't give ugly things to eat!

"You still miss the black rabbit? You have a lot of petty eyes." Lin Ling didn't dare to bully the mutant dog's rabbit. Its fighting power is not comparable to hers.

Lin Ling brought a large bowl of potato stewed rabbit meat to the door, "There are a lot of potatoes and some soup in it, try it and see if you can get used to it."

The mutated dog sniffed it. The aroma was strong, and it was much more delicious than eating raw meat. He buried his head and ate it in big mouthfuls. Whether it was potatoes, bones or rabbit meat, he ate all of it without wasting a single bit.

Lin Ling gave some of the remaining bones to the mutated dog, and the mutated dog was not picky or disgusted, and kept biting, eating with gusto.

Xiaolu stood at the door with her waist up and showed off: The dishes she cooks are very fragrant and delicious, and I will be able to eat such delicious meat every day from now on.

The mutated dog whined and wanted to eat it too.

Xiaolu shook the leaves: I won't give it to you! Ugly dog!

The mutant dog growled a few times at Xiaolu.

Lin Ling hurried out: "Don't make noise."

"Little green, come in." Lin Ling glanced at the mutant dog who had finished eating the stewed rabbit meat with potatoes, "You can leave after you finish eating."

The mutated dog stuck out its tongue and licked the big bowl, looked at the dimly lit fire in the room, and left reluctantly.

After the mutant dog left, Lin Ling closed the courtyard door and went back to the house to wash the pots and bowls. After processing the rabbits sent by the mutant dog, he added chili powder, pepper powder, salt and other spices to the soaked rabbit meat to taste. , spread it evenly and put it in the bucket, and hang it up to air dry after a day and a night.

After processing the rabbit meat, Lin Ling went upstairs to rest. After a night's rest, her powers returned to normal, and she went downstairs to work full of energy.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Xia Mo limping out of the house, "What's wrong with your leg?"

Xia Mo subconsciously stood up straight: "It's okay."

Lin Ling remembered that at the end of Xia yesterday, she seemed to be chased by giant rabbits and fell down many times, "Did you get hurt yesterday?"

Xia Mo nodded.

Lin Ling looked at his swollen legs: "Why didn't you say anything last night? Can you still go?"

Xia Mo said, "It's okay to walk slowly."

Lin Ling thought about what he was going to do today, and there was no need for the end of Xia, "Today you just stay at home and rest, you don't need to go out."

Xia Mo hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can work."

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it good to rest at home?"

Xia Mo opened his mouth, hesitated for a while and just shook his head without explaining anything.

Lin Ling could understand Xia Mo's thoughts, it was because she was afraid that she would drive him away, that she would not give him something to eat, she was always so cautious when fleeing with the team before, always afraid of being left behind.

Thinking of this, Lin Ling twitched her lips mockingly, she is not that kind of person, and she also needs Xia Mo's help with work: "There is no medicine here, you can apply some cold well water for an ice compress, and then help I'll just keep an eye on the generator."

At the end of Xia, hearing that Lin Ling didn't mean to drive him away, he finally let go of his hanging heart, "Then I'll go and watch by the pond now."

"It's up to you." As soon as Lin Ling went out, he saw the mutant dog lying on the door at some point, "Why are you here?"

The mutated dog barked and looked in the direction of the kitchen again.

There was something Lin Ling didn't understand, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "You still rely on me, don't you?"

Xiaolu jumped out with her hands on her hips and cursed: "Go away, ugly dog, I won't eat it for you!"

The mutated dog gave Xiaolu a fierce look, then looked at Lin Ling, with one meaning in his eyes: please feed!

"We don't eat meat in the morning, two potatoes are enough." Lin Ling divided half of the cold potatoes that were baked last night and threw them at the mutant dog. is you."

Seeing that there was no delicious stewed rabbit meat with potatoes, the mutated dog looked at the kitchen in disappointment, and then slowly walked up the hillside in the distance.

After Lin Ling sent away the mutant dog, she went to the mountain to patch up saplings. When she saw a messy hillside, her blood surged up again.

It was late last night, and she didn't have time to clean up the saplings. Now that she came to look, she found that a few big rabbits had eaten the tea saplings on the entire hillside, and trampled on the pine saplings halfway up the hillside. She worked hard The saplings planted!

Although it has already been eaten into the stomach, it is still difficult to relieve her hatred! If I knew it earlier, I should have tied it up and beat me before eating!

Xiaolu, who was sleeping in her sleeve, sensed Lin Ling's low air pressure, got out and arched her arm: "Don't be angry, at worst, eat a few more mouthfuls of their meat."

Lin Ling twitched her lips, "You want to eat it?"

Xiaolu should be justified: how?

Lin Ling laughed in disgust, "Lazy and gluttonous."

After fighting side by side with Xiaolu a few times, Lin Ling also got acquainted with Xiaolu a little bit. After getting to know Xiaolu gradually, he was no longer cautious at the beginning, and it was quite interesting to tease a few words from time to time.

Xiaolu jumped up violently and wanted to beat Lin Ling up, but thinking that she is not in the right mind now, forget it, there are a lot of adults, and she doesn't bother to argue with her.

Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu who was wrapped around her hand again, and couldn't help smiling, the little guy was pretty bearable.

Xiaolu raised her head: What are you laughing at?

Lin Ling suppressed her smile: "I didn't laugh."

Little Green is unhappy: You have! You have it!

"So what?" Lin Ling twirled the little green leaves, "Don't lose your temper, just hang up and beat them when you lose your temper."

When Xiaolu thought of the countless nights of being punished to stand or being hung up, the leaves drooped lazily: How did you know this trick?

Lin Ling didn't notice the word "again" in Xiaolu's words, so she smiled and said, "Who told you not to be diligent at all."

Xiaolu shook the leaves: hum.

"If you don't help, just stay there. I'm going to work." Lin Ling first helped up the pine saplings that were knocked down by the giant rabbits, continued to plant those that could continue to grow, and divided the broken ones into two pieces, and continued to plant half of them on the ground. In the tree pit, the other half used supernatural powers to urge out rhizomes and planted them on the mountain that had been eaten up.

The giant rabbits came smelling the fragrance of the plants. The hungry rabbits were not picky at all, they directly uprooted the tea tree and swallowed it all, not even a single tree root was left.

After planting one, Lin Ling cursed dead rabbits. She worked so hard to find viable seeds, but was ruined by a few hooligan rabbits.

The more Lin Ling thought about it, the more frightened she became. Fortunately, the end of Xia came over yesterday to make an inspection. If he hadn't come, the saplings in this mountain bag might not have been eaten.

At the same time, yesterday's incident also reminded her that she had to be careful of herbivorous mutant beasts. These mutant beasts had very sensitive noses, and as long as they smelled plants, they would run over dozens of kilometers away.

After Xia Mo's feet healed, she had to ask him to build a mud wall around it.

Thinking of this, Lin Ling smiled helplessly, what made her look like an unscrupulous boss? Employees have to work as long as they can move.

Little Green hugged Linling: Hurry up and work! Don't be lazy!

"You are the one who is lazy the most. How dare you say others?" Lin Ling snorted, turned around and got off the hill.

Xiaolu turned her head to look at the dirt pit on the hill, and tugged at Lin Ling's sleeve: You stopped planting?

Lin Ling: "There are no more saplings."

Little Green shook the leaves: Then go find the seeds.

"I'll be there in two days." Lin Ling went straight home, moved the generator and water pump to the pond, and poured all the remaining oil into the generator.

At the end of Xia, watching Lin Ling pour oil into the generator without leaving a drop, he was a little puzzled: "Use all of it?"

"Yeah." When Lin Ling went down the mountain just now, she found that there were some small weeds growing on the ground on the hillside that had been watered all over the mountain before, so she wanted to water them all to make the weeds multiply as much as possible.

Xia Mo said: "When it's available, it's gone."

"I know." Lin Ling replied, "In a couple of days, I'll go to the direction the rabbit came from and see if I can find some diesel."

At the end of Xia, she glanced at Lin Ling. She was assured that she would stay alone in the yard? After thinking for a while, he said, "Can I go? I can help you."

Lin Ling glanced at Xia Mo, and he went out together, she was indeed more at ease, "If you can walk, go together."

Xia Mo answered: "Okay."

The two of them agreed without saying anything, "I'm going to the mountain, and you can drive when I call you later."

Xia Mo nodded.

Lin Ling got up and walked up the mountain. After walking a few steps, he realized that the water sprayed by the **** fish has a healing effect, "You can go to the pond to soak your feet for a while, it will be good for your feet."

The little green who had been wrapped around Lin Ling's wrist stood up, shaking the leaves excitedly, hurry up, it's better to be hit by Dahei's head into the water.

Lin Ling stretched out his hand to hold Xiaolu who wanted to make trouble, "Don't tease Dahei."

In fact, there is no need to tell, Xia Mo will not provoke Dahei who is with Xiaolu, "Okay."

The two cooperated once, and this time it went well. Lin Ling took the water hose and watered all the hillocks where the saplings had been replanted. When she was about to water a mountain bag, the water was gone.

Little Green was lying on the water pipe and playing on the slide. He was playing vigorously. Suddenly, the water pipe was deflated. He fell into the cement pit unprepared for a moment. He hurriedly got up from the water pit and shook the leaves: why is there no water? up?

Lin Ling straightened the water pipe: "It's out of gas."

Xiaolu, who is a bit of a clean freak, shook the dirty mud on the leaves: wipe.

Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu who was covered in dirt with disgust, "Wipe it off yourself."

Little Green looked around, and finally set her sights on Lin Ling's trouser leg, and it wanted to climb up to wipe it clean.

Lin Ling realized Xiaolu's intentions, turned around and ran, "Don't try to rub against me."

Xiaolu jumped up angrily: What's wrong with me? You weren't like this before, heartbreaker!

"Who made you so dirty." Lin Ling walked towards the pond with the water pipe in hand, and when he was halfway there, he heard a few low growls from mutant beasts.

The two leaves of Little Green immediately stood up: Huh? Is that little boy going to be eaten by mutant beasts? This is really good!

Lin Ling ignored Xiaolu, and she ran towards the yard. It would be a disaster if the child who had managed to raise a little more mature was bitten.

When she rushed to the pond, she saw Xia Mo standing facing the mutated dog, her sword was on the verge of firing.

Lin Ling looked at the mutant dog, why is it here again? How did the end of Xia provoke it again?

"At the end of Xia." Lin Ling's appearance broke the situation.

When Xia Mo heard the voice, he seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately stood beside Lin Ling, "It wants to attack me."

The mutant dog got angry and barked at Xia Mo a few times.

Lin Ling stopped the mutant dog's movements, "Don't bark so loudly, it's easy to attract mutant beasts."

Although the mutated dog was dissatisfied, it still didn't bark any more. It just let out a low whine and bared its fangs at Xia Mo, threatening and warning him.

Lin Ling turned her head to look at Mo Xia, who took two steps back guiltily.

Seeing the dirt marks on the mutant dog, Lin Ling didn't understand anything, so he lowered his voice to discuss with the mutant dog: "Did he offend you? I apologize to you on his behalf."

The mutant dog's fighting power is much stronger than hers. Lin Ling apologized to it cautiously, for fear of offending it: "For the sake of sharing your meat with me last night, don't bite him."

The mutant dog barked twice in a low voice, then pulled the big rabbit that fell into the ditch to Lin Ling, and pushed it to her vigorously.

Lin Ling looked at the dead rabbit and pursed her lips, "You want to trade the rabbit for meat again?"

The mutant dog nodded.

Lin Ling couldn't laugh or cry: "I like my cooking so much?"

The mutated dog barked, "It's delicious."

Little Green arched the mutated dog's legs, wanting the mutated dog to leave here: stay the rabbit, you go!

The mutated dog doesn't want to lose money, growled twice at Little Green, and then pushed the big rabbit towards Lin Ling: Do it!

Xiaolu pesters Lin Ling: Don't do it, don't do it! Don't make it for ugly monsters!

The mutated dog looked at Xiaolu with disgust, as long as this person cooks for it, it will not be as knowledgeable as Xiaolu.

"Did I do it, and you leave here?" People who have experienced the end of the world are more territorial, and Lin Ling is no exception. She does not want any danger to exist in the land allocated to her by the country.

The mutant dog hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Ling nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it for you when I'm done." After speaking, she turned around and went to clean the water pipes and generator first.

When packing up the generator, Lin Ling found that there was still half a liter of oil in it, and looked at Xia Mo suspiciously: "There is still oil in it."

At the end of Xia, he pulled his hat uncomfortably, "I accidentally touched it."

When Xiaolu heard that there was still oil, she arched Linling's wrist: I still want to play.

"Be honest and stay on the side." Lin Ling has already collected half of the water pipes, and it is too far to water the saplings, so he directly put the remaining water pipes into the vegetable field nearby, intending to use the remaining oil to generate electricity and water them. a little water.

After pressing the button, the generator hummed suddenly, and Xiaolu excitedly lay on top of the generator, trembling and trembling.

The mutated dog was awakened by the sound of the generator. It got up and walked to the generator, and sniffed it suspiciously. What is this?

Xiaolu, who was playing Yedi, was frightened by the mutated dog's fangs and took a step back: Ugly, stay away from me.

The mutant dog barked at Little Green.

The little green who was sprayed with saliva shook the leaves in disgust: I want to fight you!

At this moment, the generator suddenly stopped.

The mutated dog was stunned, why did it stop?

Lin Ling wasn't surprised to see that the generator had stopped. Half a liter of oil wouldn't last long, so he packed up the water pipes and headed back. When they got closer, they found that the mutated dog had come to the side of the generator and was opening its mouth to bite the plug of the water pump.

Lin Ling only has such a good water pump, and he can't be bitten, "Don't bite."

As soon as she yelled, she heard a click, and her whole heart went cold.

The next moment, she heard another voice.

gurgling

Lin Ling looked back at the pond suspiciously, and Dahei happened to swim through the water.

After Dahei swam away, the gurgling sound disappeared. Lin Ling turned his head to look at the power strip that the mutated dog had chewed up, and felt a headache: "This one can't be bitten."

The mutant dog saw this kind of thing for the first time, and it could make noises, so it was a little curious, and it leaned up and bit it a few more times.

Lin Ling didn't expect the mutated dog to be so bearish: "Don't bite!"

The mutant dog didn't listen, and went to the other side to play while biting the power strip.

At this time, there were a few more gurgling sounds from the pond behind him.

Lin Ling frowned and looked back at the pond, only to find that Dahei had already swam to the opposite side of the pond.
