Chapter 49: Second watch
Towards evening, the sky was dark.
Taking advantage of the light that has not been hidden in the black mist, Lin Ling sized up the person who came, and looked at him warily: "Why are you here? Please leave here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
The visitor had expected that Lin Ling would be so wary of her, so she was not angry, but just raised her hands to show that she did not have any malicious intentions: "I came here today to find you."
Lin Ling didn't relax, "What do you want from me? I don't think there is anything to talk about between us."
"You don't have to be so hostile to me, I really don't have any malice." The woman took off the weapon from her waist and put it at her feet: "This is my sincerity."
What about taking off the weapon? Lin Ling didn't believe that a woman who dared to farm alone had no way to protect herself, "What do you want me for?"
The woman didn't beat around the bush, and told her purpose of coming: "I found some green plants on the land allocated to me by the state, you planted them, right?"
Lin Ling thought that she thought that the land was unowned, so some weeds were born, but she didn't expect that her unintentional actions would bring hidden dangers to herself. She directly denied it with a blank face: "No."
The woman didn't believe it, but said firmly, "If I guessed correctly, you are a wood-type supernatural being."
Lin Ling looked at the woman warily, "No."
"I'm not the only one within a few hundred miles. You should find someone who actually planted green plants." Lin Ling pointed to the east direction, and returned to her what the woman said to her that day: "How many people are there on the road?" Ten miles of land were allotted to me by the state.”
"We came from the same place, and we met by fate. I won't hold you accountable if you broke into my territory today. Let's treat it as a good relationship, and don't come here again."
The woman's face froze for a moment, "In the hundreds of miles around here, there are only three pieces of land that have owners, and the person who gets the third piece of land is the person who came with me, and the weeds were planted before I came here." of."
Lin Ling didn't believe it: "You said there are only three pieces of land with owners, so there are only three pieces?"
The woman pursed her lips, "Have you never looked at your phone?"
Lin Ling froze for a moment, what happened to the phone?
"In the past two days, there are many functions on the mobile phone, and the map has been updated, showing the cleared land spread out for thousands of miles from the safe zone, and the land with owners has been marked." The woman knew that she was taking the liberty Coming here will arouse Lin Ling's suspicion, but she can't wait: "I just found it from the map."
Lin Ling's mobile phone was left in the room, and she couldn't confirm whether what the woman said was true or not. She pursed her lips and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I want to make a deal with you," said the woman.
Lin Ling pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth and hesitated for a moment: "Deal?"
The woman said yes: "I want to make a deal with you for the dry firewood on the land I belong to. Please help me grow the seeds, and let you take the dry firewood. How about it?"
If there was no ugly brother, Lin Ling might have thought about it seriously, but now she only feels that the bargaining chip proposed by this woman is not enough, "I have no shortage of firewood."
The woman froze for a moment, "Then what do you want?"
Lin Ling saw the woman's anxiety, "Are you in a hurry?"
The woman seemed to have really reached the end of her life, and she didn't hide it, and said directly: "I can't plant the seeds."
She couldn't grow food, and she would run out of food in a month. She didn't want to go back to the safe zone where she needed to be on guard all the time, and she didn't want to starve to death, so she approached Lin Ling.
"As long as you are willing to help germinate the seeds, no matter what you want, I will try my best to satisfy you." Both of them are women, and women are not worried that Lin Ling will make excessive demands.
Thinking of this, the woman stared at Lin Ling's young and beautiful face seriously for a few seconds. Of course, if Lin Ling wanted it, she could try her best to satisfy it.
No matter before the end of the world or after the model, Lin Ling likes men. Ignoring the abnormal gaze of women, she thought for a while and said, "I can help you germinate, but you have to exchange food for it."
"In addition to food, there is also dry firewood. We can dig there whenever we need it."
The woman hesitated: "These are two requirements."
Lin Ling raised her chin slightly and smiled coldly, "Do you have a choice?"
The woman thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
Lin Ling raised her eyebrows: "Don't need to think about it?"
"No need." Women are also decisive, "Is it possible tomorrow?"
The crops in the field are left alone for now, Lin Ling wants to go to the place where the woman belongs to dig some roots and weeds, so she nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Lin Ling agreed, the woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After the woman walked away, Xia Mo came out from behind the hillside, "Are you really going? What if she lies?"
"Then let's see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd." Lin Ling put down the door and moved the iron bed back home.
It took a lot of effort to move the iron frame bed upstairs from the narrow staircase, "Which house do you choose?"
At the end of Xia, he looked at the two rooms, they were the same size, there was no difference, so he chose the room close to Lin Ling without much entanglement. He wanted to be closer to her: "The one in the middle."
"Okay, then the middle one." Lin Ling moved the bed into the room and put it down against the wall, and moved the mattress into the room and put it on the bed. It was just the right size.
After putting it away, she took a step back and looked at the empty room, thinking about finding a wardrobe and putting it in the corner when she went out in the future.
In addition, the window glass is broken, and there is no glass for the time being. Lin Ling can only find an old cotton-padded coat and nail it to the window. Put it on."
Lin Ling looked at the door of the room patched up with wooden boards, "The door is also a bit old, but it can still block the wind. I will replace it with a new one when there is a new one."
Xia Mo is not greedy, he thinks it is enough to have a place to live, "It is already very good."
Lin Ling pursed her lips and looked at Xia Mo who never asked her for anything, and smiled: "Just move your things in."
"I'm going to move it right now." Xia Mo turned and ran downstairs, the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs showed the excitement in his heart.
Brother Chou turned around and followed Xia Mo's pace to help him carry his clothes, bags, shoes and other things upstairs. He ran twice with one person and one dog, and simply moved a house.
Lin Ling looked at the things that Brother Chou and Xia Mo had brought, and said softly, "It's good that there are so many things added before I know it."
Xia Mo hummed, originally thought that she would be driven away sooner or later, but before she knew it, she turned him into a man with a family, "You gave it to me."
"I also found it from outside." Lin Ling patted Xia Mo on the shoulder, "After making the bed, come down and help."
Do you want to make rabbit meat? Xiaolu jumped happily and followed: I'll help you.
Lin Ling still doesn't know Xiaolu's mind: "Help me work or help me eat?"
Xiaolu arched Linling's wrist: All help.
"You can talk." Lin Ling went to the locked cabinet and took out a small fan of air-dried rabbit meat. First, he washed the dust on the surface with water. a pot.
Wash the pot and heat the oil, pour in the meat, stir fry briefly, then add the onion, **** and garlic grown in the ground, add half a pot of water and cook slowly, after a while, a rich meat fragrance will come out.
At the end of Xia Xia, they all gathered around the stove, sniffing vigorously the fragrance wafting from the pot.
Mynah's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance. He didn't expect the dishes cooked by the beauty to be so delicious. Fortunately, he had the cheek to follow, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat such delicious meat.
Except for myna who couldn't move his feet standing on the stove, there was also Dahei who came up from the pond smelling the fragrance and huddled in the kitchen: Wow! It smells so good!
Xiaolu pushes Dahei out: there is no class today, you go back to the pond.
Dahei: Hey, brother, I also want to eat meat.
Little Green: No.
…
Wait for the rabbit meat to cook for 10 minutes, then add the freshly washed and cut potatoes, stir it and continue cooking for 20 minutes before serving. Lin Ling also sprinkled some long-cut leeks to enhance the flavor .
Leek was planted by Lin Ling when he first moved here, and he had cut it several times to make dumplings, but since there was no more flour, he seldom cut it to eat. Now a few months have passed, and the leeks have blossomed and set seeds, and the seeds will be harvested in about half a month.
After harvesting the seeds, keep the rhizomes, and some shoots should grow again in a few days, and you can cut them and eat them again.
After Lin Ling was done, she looked at the people around the stove and asked, "Does it smell good?"
Looking at the steaming potato stewed rabbit meat at the end of Xia, he couldn't help swallowing, "It smells so good."
Brother Chou raised his paw and wiped his saliva. At the beginning, he stayed for this smell. After two months, he could finally eat stewed rabbit meat again. Smelling this scent, he knew that his waiting was not in vain.
Xiaolu looked at the meat in the pot and shook the leaves excitedly: I don't want potatoes, I just want meat.
Dahei couldn't help poking his head in: "Master, I want to eat meat too."
The starling couldn't help but squeezed in: "I want a lot of meat too."
Xia Mo and Ugly Brother Qiqi looked at Mynah, "You talked a lot, are you sure you can still eat rabbit meat?"
Starling rolled his eyes, there are always people who want to harm him! "I haven't spoken since I came back."
In order to be able to eat the meat successfully, the starling never appeared in front of Lin Ling after he came back, fearing that he would lose the bet, so he looked at Lin Ling pitifully, "Can I eat it?"
"I can give you a piece." Lin Ling took out a bowl and shared among everyone, "Okay, everyone has."
Xiaolu carried her own bowl of rabbit meat and moved it to the corner, and counted carefully, there were five pieces of rabbit meat in total.
Xiaolu raised her head and counted the rabbit meat in the bowls of Xiamo, Chouge, Dahei, and Myna. They were six pieces, five pieces, three pieces, and one piece respectively: Why does Xiamo have one piece more rabbit meat than me?
The starling was also dissatisfied and pulled the meat and potatoes in the bowl: "Why do I only have one piece? There are so many potatoes?"
"Beautiful..." Mynah opened his mouth and wanted to call beauty, but thinking that Lin Ling would not allow it to call like that, it immediately changed its mouth: "You are biased."
"At the end of summer, dig the ground, plant vegetables, light the fire, and water everything. What will you do?" Lin Ling pointed at Xiaolu: "If you don't like it, give it to Dahei."
Big black eyes lit up, and he rolled out the bowl in front of him: Brother, don't you like it? I can help you eat.
Xiaolu angrily turned her back to Dahei: I am not without a mouth, I need you to help me eat?
Dahei's disappointed eyes dimmed slightly, he thought he could eat a few more pieces of meat.
After Lin Ling finished talking about Xiaolu, she looked at the starling who was still very dissatisfied: "You came only yesterday, so it would be nice to share a piece with you, and you still pick and choose? If you don't want to eat, you can also give up the meat."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Mo, Chou Ge, and Xiao Lu pushed the bowls to Mynah one after another, "If you don't want to eat, you can give it to me!"
Dahei, who took a slow beat, also pushed the bowl in front of mynah: You can give it to me too.
"I'll give you a fart!" Mynah flew to the top of the cabinet with rabbit meat in his mouth and gnawed it. No matter how full a piece of meat was, mynah stared at the meat in everyone's bowls with mischievous eyebrows. Beauty can't be bullied, and shorties and ugly brothers are also fierce. very…
In the end, the starling's eyes fell on the silly Dahei. It bent over and rushed over, snatched away the last piece of meat in the **** bowl, and then flew towards the yard.
Dahei was stunned, looking at the empty bowl, tears streaming down his face: Hey, my meat...
Seeing that her little brother was being bullied, Xiaolu yelled at the starling who flew out: "It's the bald hair that dares to bully my little brother, come back!"
The starling landed on the fence with the meat in its mouth, and quickly ate the meat, turning a deaf ear to Xiao Lu's clamor.
Little Green: I'm so **** off!
Dahei was so wronged, he only ate meat once in a long time, and was snatched away, why is his fish life so hard?
Little Green poked Dahei's big head: Don't cry.
The more he was comforted, the more sad Dahei cried: Brother, my flesh is gone...
Lin Ling looked at the puddle of water on the ground and wondered if it was rabbit meat, but those who didn't know thought it was your fish meat that had been cut, "Xiao Lu, hurry up and comfort your little brother."
Xiaolu glanced at the meat in her bowl, then at the crying younger brother, and took a piece of meat with a painful face: "Okay, don't cry, I'll give you a piece of meat."
As soon as Dahei heard that his elder brother wanted to share the meat with her, he immediately stopped crying, and rubbed his big head against Xiaolu: "Elder brother, you are so kind to me."
Xiaolu looked at Dahei with disgust, and said angrily: "Then don't cry."
Dahei nodded again and again: Brother, I won't cry anymore.
Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu's actions, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, Xiaolu became more and more like a big brother.
