Chapter 116:
Hearing what Xia Mo said, Lin Ling couldn't laugh or cry for a while, she rubbed Xia Mo's head: "Why are you so cute!"
Xia Mo covered her face in embarrassment, "Sister, I will grow up in ten years."
Lin Ling hummed, "At that time, I also became an old woman."
Xia Mo subconsciously denied her words: "Sister will not become an old woman."
Lin Ling: "Everyone will grow old."
"Then I won't grow up anymore. If I'm still only ten years old, my sister can always be young." Xia Mo eagerly said the true thoughts in his heart, wanting to freeze time, and wanting her sister to remain so young.
Lin Ling rubbed Xia Mo's head, "No way, we don't have time to go backwards."
Xia Mo was very disappointed, "Is there really no other way?"
"The universe has its own rules, and the first rule is that time cannot be reversed, so we have to accept the reality, accept the rules, and face it calmly, you know?" In fact, having supernatural powers is already against the laws of nature, but Lin Ling does not She didn't mention much, she just wanted to tell Xia Mo that everyone will grow old.
"It would be great if it could be changed." Xia Mo couldn't accept this fact, and squatted by the side of the field plucking weeds to vent his anger.
Lin Ling walked to Lu Yu's side with the bucket in hand, and handed the bucket to him to hold the crayfish, "These crayfish have grown very big, and they must have eaten more meat than last time."
Lu Yu glanced at Lin Ling, there was no trace of age on his clean and bright face, probably because of the preferential treatment nature gave them to these supernatural beings, aging slower than ordinary people, he thought for a while, and then said: "Even if ten Years from now, you won't be old either."
Lin Ling raised her eyebrows, "Is it because of the supernatural power?"
Lu Yu nodded, "Part of the reason is that there are many spiritual powers and healers who can help people treat diseases and delay aging, so don't be afraid."
Lin Ling smiled when she heard the words, thinking that there are quite a lot of talents in the safe zone, "Actually, there is nothing terrible about getting old naturally."
Lu Yun hummed, "You are still a beautiful old lady when you grow old."
Lin Ling who was praised was not stingy with his praise, "Captain Lu will be a handsome old man when he grows old."
After the two blew a few words to each other, the lobster in the bucket was half full without knowing it. Lin Ling shook the bucket, "It's already half full, it should be almost there."
"Okay." Lu Yu stopped.
The two walked home with buckets, and met Duan Hu and He Ming who had already killed a chicken and came out to find someone on the way.
It was probably because He Ming ordered a certain nerve, Duan Hu saw his team leader and Lin Ling chatting happily, and a seed of doubt arose in his heart.
When did Captain and Lin Ling become so familiar?
The captain actually laughed?
Could it be that the captain and Lin Ling really had an affair?
…
But he was not stupid enough to jump into the pit in front of the captain, instead of going up to question directly, he waved his hand and greeted: "Captain, Lin Ling, we have already dealt with the chicken, have you caught the shrimp?"
Duan Hu stared at the bucket in Lu Yu's hand: "This many shrimps should be enough to eat."
Lu Yu stuffed the bucket into Duan Hu's arms, "Clean it up."
"Okay." Duan Hu didn't dare to disobey the captain's order, and went to deal with it with half a bucket of shrimp.
He Ming glanced at the captain, and followed Duan Hu out silently, he thought Duan Hu's stupidity must be useless!
After Lin Ling walked into the kitchen, he started to process the chicken. After the chicken was ready, he continued to make crayfish. This time, there were spices brought by Lu Yu, so the fried taste was more fragrant and delicious than last time.
While she was cooking, Lu Yu and Xia Mo went to pick all the watermelons in the field. On the way back, Lu Yu once again cast his eyes on the lush fruit trees.
Seeing Lu Yu staring at the fruit tree at the end of Xia, he couldn't help but say to him, "My sister is super powerful."
"It's quite powerful." Lu Yu thought about the half-page data left over from J City's laboratory. According to the above records, it was a breeze for Lin Ling to grow these trees into big trees.
Lu Yu turned around and entered the woods, checking whether these trees were any different from normal grown trees.
When he was carefully looking at the lines on the tree, there was a slight movement behind him. When he looked back, he saw a giant piranha was attacking him.
Lu Yu stepped on the tree, jumped high, stepped on the big petal of the piranha with a backflip, and pressed it to the ground, "She knows you always turn into a piranha and run out To scare people?"
Little Green, who failed to scare people, suddenly shrunk, crawled out from the soil under Lu Yu's feet to the other side, shook the soil on the leaves, and complained dissatisfiedly to Lu Yu: You stepped on me! you are bullying me! I'm going to let her drive you away.
Lu Yu curled up his fingers and twisted Xiaolu in his hand, "This is not the first time you have done this, right?"
Little Green: I want you to take care of it.
"Be honest, you don't want her to know that you always come out to scare people?" Lu Yu threatened Xiaolu.
Of course Little Green didn't want to, the leaves immediately drooped down and pretended to be honest: You're ruthless.
"Heh." Lu Yuti carried Xiaolu back to the yard.
Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu who was being carried, "Has Xiaolu offended Captain Lu?"
Lu Yu returned Xiaolu to Lin Ling: "No, I just grabbed it to pick the fruit."
As soon as Xiaolu heard this, she quit and cursed: You are the only one who steals fruit, and your whole family steals fruit. If I want to eat fruit, won’t I pick it? Besides, I eat meat! I am a meat eater! I am a meat eater!
Lin Ling looked at Xiaolu who was so excited, and smiled helplessly at Lu Yu, "Captain Lu, the food will be ready soon, you wait outside for a while."
Lu Yu saw that he really didn't need help, so he went out.
Lin Ling clicked on the little green leaves, "You are running around, and you will be arrested to breed piranhas later, I will not save you."
Xiaolu was so scared that she became excited: I am still a big boudoir vine with yellow flowers, so I don't want to grow little piranhas.
Hearing what Xiaolu said, Lin Ling imagined that Xiaolu had given birth to a nest of piranhas, and by then she would be full of children and grandchildren, right?
Xiaolu wrapped her arms around Lin Ling's wrist in dissatisfaction: "Stop it!" I forbid you to have such evil thoughts!
Lin Ling shrugged, "I'm just thinking about it."
Little green akimbo: I can't even think about it.
"Overbearing." Lin Ling didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked out with the prepared dishes, such as stewed chicken with potatoes, spicy crayfish, and braised eel slices. The portions of each dish were very large, enough for everyone to eat.
After finishing the meal, Lin Ling cleaned up the kitchen and fed all the bones and shrimp shells to the pigs.
When she was feeding the pig, Duan Hu sneaked in, "Why is this pig's belly so big? What's growing inside?"
Lin Ling said, "It's about to give birth to a piglet."
Duan Hu was stunned, "It's so fast."
Lin Ling: "It's been more than a year."
Duan Hu moved closer to Lin Ling, "We've known each other for almost two years, right?"
Lin Ling nodded.
"I was the first to rush in and rescue you." Duan Hu recalled the scene back then, "Do you still remember?"
Lin Ling hummed, "Thank you very much for coming to save us and so many women who suffered so much."
Duan Hu smiled and said nothing, "This is our duty."
Duan Hu looked at the sow who was about to give birth. At such a young age next year, he put the great cause of giving birth on the agenda. He felt that he was not as good as a pig. He took a breath, summoned up his courage and called Lin Ling, "I have something to tell you."
Lin Ling understood clearly, "What is it?"
Duan Hu said: "You can be my partner."
Lin Ling wasn't surprised, so she said the words she had prepared a long time ago: "You're fine, but I'm sorry."
Duan Hu didn't expect to be rejected, "Why?"
Lin Ling hesitated for a moment, then said after thinking, "I like to be alone."
Duan Hu didn't believe it, "If you like being alone, why did you reply to my private message? Don't feel embarrassed, we are all adults, there is no need to be shy."
Hearing Duan Hu's questioning, Lin Ling didn't know what to say. He always sent her private messages frequently. Could it be that she blocked and deleted them and kept pretending not to see them? And there was never any hint of intimacy in her words.
"I'm sorry." Lin Ling knew that Duan Hu was a bit naive, and he wasn't a bad person, so he didn't want to say too much, "Duan Hu, you are very kind and enthusiastic. I hope you can find someone who likes you wholeheartedly. .”
If you don't get it, you will always be in turmoil, men are always like this, Duan Hu said: "But I will recognize you."
"Identify me? Why?" Lin Ling really didn't understand why Duan Hu identified her? Is it because of his self-confidence, or because of his single-mindedness?
Duan Hu nodded: "You look good, and the food you cook is delicious."
Hearing this reason, Lin Ling didn't know what to say for a while, "There are tens of thousands of good-looking people, there should be more in the safe zone, right? There are also many people who cook delicious food, and any chef can Satisfy you."
Duan Hu said: "But there are very few people who are good-looking and cook delicious food."
"..." Lin Ling asked Duan Hu back, "So you want to find a good-looking woman to wash your clothes, cook for you and serve you?"
Duan Hu nodded, then shook his head violently: "Of course not."
Lin Ling asked again: "Do you know how to wash and cook for her?"
Duan Hu said of course not: "I have tasks every day, how can I have time to cook? And these tasks should be done by women."
O man!
Lin Ling rolled her eyes in her heart, and she didn't even want to do superficial work: "According to what you said, you should be suitable to find a nanny."
"Then how can I do it?" Duan Hu thought to himself, how can the nanny get hot on the bed?
"Duan Hu." Lin Ling wiped the sweet potato scum on his hands, "You'd better find a beautiful girl who suits you in the safe zone, after all, it's close and it's convenient for you to get along with."
Duan Hu was still not reconciled: "My sister is over there in S city, I can actually come here anytime."
"Duan Hu, don't you really understand?" Lin Ling sighed, "I don't like you, I don't want to be your partner, I think it's good for us to be ordinary friends now, of course, it's okay if you don't want to , I have no opinion."
Although he had guesses in his heart, hearing Lin Ling say this with his own ears, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that he couldn't save face. Even a little annoyed: "Why don't you like me? Am I not good enough?"
Lin Ling squeezed her fist, suppressing the thought of punching him out, "You're fine."
"Then why don't you want to? Or do you really like our captain?" Duan Hu felt that what He Ming said was true. "There are many women who like the captain and want to climb the bed. The captain won't like you. You might as well give up."
Lin Ling gritted her teeth, "...nothing."
"Not the best." Duan Hu angrily turned around and walked outside, after walking a few steps, he turned his head to Lin Ling and said foolishly: "You should think about it carefully, and if you regret it, tell me. "
After Duan Hu finished speaking, he turned and walked outside. Lin Ling took a deep breath and turned to look at the wall on the other side: "Captain Lu, is it not good to eavesdrop on people?"
