Chapter 96 Chapter 96 First appearance
Eat a full meal, take a nice hot bath, change into clean clothes, lie on the warm kang, and cover yourself with a fluffy blanket.
It all seemed like a dream.
The seven people who came out of the farm returned from the biting cold to the warm spring, but they all suffered from insomnia.
Even the youngest Xiang Xingxing couldn't fall asleep. Her two little hands were tugging at the corner of her mother's clothes and she kept trying to get into her mother's arms. Although she was lying in an environment that was a hundred times better than the farm, she felt uneasy because it was too unfamiliar.
Xiang Yan patted her daughter's back and hummed an unknown lullaby without words, her eyes red.
Bai Rongrong next door was sleeping on her side with her back to them, curled up motionless, but her eyes were wide open. She was secretly singing a lullaby, and she opened her mouth, as if she was calling "Mom", but there was no sound, just mute words.
The three old men next door were also chatting quietly at night, but the content of their conversation was much more normal. It was not that they had no emotions, but they hid all the unnecessary emotions in their plans for tomorrow and the future.
Those who couldn't bear it have been left in the last cold winter forever. Those who are still alive, whether they look lifeless or not, are all extremely vital people. They will struggle to survive even if they have to rely on instinct.
Ye Yu had sharp senses. She couldn't sleep with so many strangers around. When she paid close attention, she could clearly hear their conversations and even their breathing.
I simply teleported across Nanshan Mountain and came to a more primitive forest, and started flying. I didn't even bring any sparrows with me tonight, so I flew quite freely.
Moreover, the current distance is far enough from Nanshan. Mr. Wang's monitoring of the forest comes from his survival experience, including the feedback from the hunting dogs. When the distance exceeds this, he cannot feel it, after all, he does not have the ability to see from afar.
But Ye Yu still paid the protection fee very seriously, not because of kindness or filial piety, but purely out of competitiveness.
When you get closer to Nanshan, you will no longer be able to teleport.
Like a light and agile elf, she leaped swiftly and silently in the mountains and forests. The swaying of the green leaves was no louder than the mountain breeze at night, and no one or dog noticed. After the upgrade, her sense of smell was no worse than that of a hound, and she could smell the marking scent within a range of 500 meters, or even slightly better, and successfully avoided the hounds in the dense grass.
The most dangerous ones were probably the two hunting dogs near the cabin. Fortunately, they were not ordered to stand guard at all times. The hunting dogs in the forest were attracted one by one with the help of small animals in the forest, so they could not be too abnormal.
And Ye Yu had to use all his speed to jump to the kitchen within this critical time, mix the gifts with Mr. Wang's reserves, and fly away smoothly.
That was close!
He was only 1/3 of a second away from being caught.
Don't underestimate this 1/3 second. Take plants for example. It only takes 0.3 seconds for a Venus flytrap to catch its prey, and bladderwort takes 1/1000 of a second to catch a larva, which is 300 times faster than a human blink. Such plant and animal illustrations are familiar to everyone in the apocalypse. It can only be said that the biological potential of nature is awe-inspiring.
Ye Yu and the old man fought back and forth, trying not to use his supernatural powers and making the most accurate use of his body's abilities. This not only increased his fighting strength, but also helped him cultivate his supernatural powers.
1/3 is not enough, work harder to be stronger!
The sky was still azure blue. On the top of Nanshan Mountain, Mr. Wang woke up according to his fixed biological clock. Looking at the roasted venison legs, as well as the wild fruits such as elaeagnus and prickly ash, which had been put into the kitchen without him noticing when, he was speechless for a moment.
This must be a provocation!
This girl actually provoked him?
She could have quietly crossed Nanshan, but she chose to leave protection money. Isn't this a provocation?
Ye Yu could almost imagine the other person's scowl: "...What you said makes a lot of sense. Would you eat this fruit? Would you eat this deer leg? Would you like to soak these deer penis and bones in wine?"
"I've already sent it." Old Master Wang muttered. He whistled, calling over a few of his carefully raised hunting dogs, and pointed in the direction where Ye Yu had just disappeared. "Did you really not notice anything? Where are your ears? Where are your noses? Are you unable to hear, or have you fallen for the cover-up?"
“Woo woo—”
"Woof!"
The hound either tilted its head and whimpered, or wagged its tail like a propeller, as if trying to please.
"Okay, it's not your fault. Come on, eat bones." Old Master Wang tried to comfort the dog again, and under his comfort, the hound calmed down and lay on the ground. The whole process was like a cross-species communication between them, as they were of different species.
"I'm afraid the girl has entered a new realm in martial arts." There was a hint of envy in Mr. Wang's words, but he did not belittle himself. He also began to practice boxing in the morning mountain mist.
He has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and he has pursued other things in the middle, but in the end, martial arts was still with him. He thought he would be alone, but he didn't expect that he was already an old man with gray hair. God has sent down several disciples to inherit his martial arts, and there are also talented people who are stronger and younger than him. It would be unreasonable if he didn't live a few more years. The master of Nanshan is also like a forest in spring, sprouting and growing leaves, regaining vitality and hope.
Back at the Institute of Knowledge, at this time, someone was already up?
The seven people who got up were the ones who had just come to Wangjiagou from the farm. They went to bed the latest and got up the earliest. They were already packing their things, planning to move there as early as possible during the day.
After a while, Hua Feifei, the staff member on duty, got up and saw Mr. Wang and the others. She said "Good morning" in surprise.
Then, Hua Feifei saw Ye Yu drinking malted milk and teasing the stored food in the yard, and she was really shocked. Ye Yu didn't stay in bed today.
You know, since the three of them became apprentices, Ye Yu was excluded from all the labor rotation rosters at the educated youth site, not to mention the labor in the production team, including cooking, fetching water, collecting wood, farming, fertilizing, cleaning toilets, etc.
There are even some people who dig holes to hunt. They are also learning from Ye Yu and Grandpa Wang. They want to strive to achieve the freedom to eat meat as soon as possible by themselves!
Most of the time, Ye Yu just wants to enjoy himself and truly lies down and does nothing. He also likes to stay in bed in the morning.
Hua Feifei couldn't help but look up at the sky and asked, "The sun didn't rise from the west today, did it?"
Ye Yu rolled his eyes at her and pointed his chin towards the kitchen. What were you waiting for?
The seven people on the farm were also waiting anxiously.
Firstly, the owner was not at home and they were embarrassed to leave. Secondly, they also needed to use the kitchen. After waiting for a long time for Ye Yu to come out and said good morning, Ye Yu did not seem to have any intention of going to the kitchen. Instead, he sat under the eaves and made some milky malt extract with a thermos of water, then relaxed.
them:
“???”
What's going on?
Ye Yu let them into the kitchen on their own and told them where the food was. He also said, "It's not locked."
The cellar was covered, not to protect against their own people, but to protect against people from outside the village. After all, the brick-making business in the village was still booming, and people from outside the village would appear occasionally. They could not be too conspicuous, so as not to bring disaster to the village.
It is said that the cellar they dug and built with their own hands is really hard to tell from the outside that there is something hidden inside. Without the help of tools, only the four of them, plus Mr. Wang and Wang Da Nv, can open the entrance.
The seven people stopped where they were and looked at each other.
Fortunately, there was an old man named Lin among them who was very good at seizing opportunities. He came to his senses, thanked them, and was the first to go into the kitchen. Xiang Yan, who had recovered much from his illness after a good sleep, followed him to help.
But this kitchen belonged to someone else after all, and they were labeled as bad elements, so they didn't feel so justified. It was not until they saw Hua Feifei that they felt relieved.
As soon as Hua Feifei entered the kitchen, she saw that Xiang Yan and the others had already lit a fire in a pot and were roasting sweet potatoes on the stove. These were the rations that the production team had lent them last night.
There is nothing else besides this.
This is nothing, but the steamed sweet potatoes are too little, not enough for Ye Yu to eat.
Hua Feifei could eat it all. There were seven of them, and seeing the little ones staring at the pot with eager eyes and drooling, she felt sad. She opened the cupboard, took out a bunch of sweet potatoes, and some salty pickles, and asked, "Do you like spicy food?"
"No, no, no, this is not good. You have already helped us a lot." Xiang Yan refused repeatedly.
Old Man Ou in the yard asked Yan and also refused at the door. It was great to have a New Year's dinner last night that was comparable to the New Year's dinner, and there was a warm blanket at night. How could they have the nerve to continue to cling to others and suck blood.
Hua Feifei replied, "What are you talking about? How much can you eat in one meal? You can't be better than us gluttons, right?"
Mr. Ou sternly refused.
Seeing how serious they were, Hua Feifei couldn't insist any longer and just said, "Okay, you guys can eat your own food, but Xingxing and the other two will eat with us. Don't refuse them. How much can they eat as little kids?"
Looking at his grandson, who had become so skinny in less than a year that there was no flesh on his face, even Mr. Ou found it hard to refuse. He opened his mouth and said, "Thank you!"
Except for Bai Rongrong, who was suspected of having aphasia, everyone thanked him.
"What are you doing? It's just a few sweet potatoes. You make me seem like a great philanthropist who has done many great things." Hua Feifei couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and waved her hands. Among the seven people, only Grandpa Lin's attitude made her feel more at ease.
It’s not that Grandpa Lin doesn’t know how to say thank you, but his gratitude is just right. He doesn’t express it with envy or heaviness, and his hands never stop moving. He knows Hua Feifei is not used to this, so he will calmly chat about other things, such as the village’s land harvest and grain output.
“You also plant fruit trees?”
"Yes, old man, you don't know, we have worked so hard for these fruit trees. Ye Yu and Han Jing even went to beg the state-owned factory in the county, and took their big trucks to the next door, blah blah..." Hua Feifei couldn't stop talking once she started, and she found that Grandpa Lin could pick up whatever she said, and he could also give a lot of suggestions on planting fruit trees.
"Grandpa, you've planted fruit trees."
"Hahaha, when I was young, I did everything to have food and drink. The grape vines in your yard were dug from the mountains, right? I planted them too. The first few times they turned out to be purple and red, but they were also very sour..." Grandpa Lin knew a thing or two about planting anything.
Of course, what he is best at is growing medicinal herbs.
