Chapter 21



The meal lasted until seven in the evening.

Originally, Lan Yueyin wanted to see Lin Luo and the others off, but she felt a little uneasy about leaving Zhou Yaozu, who was already drunk, in a house with only the elderly and children.

Lin Luo naturally said that it was just a short distance and she and Yun Shu would go back by themselves.

Seeing Yun Shu, who seemed to be silent but with steady steps and no change in her eyes, Lan Yueyin chose to stay and take care of Zhou Yaozu.

Compared to the warmth in the house, the coldness in Zhoujiawu in January has increased again.

The cold wind blowing on my face was biting.

Stimulated by the wind, Lin Luo's dizzy head instantly became much clearer. The Zhou family was so lively that she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Yunshu, are you okay?"

Lin Luo turned his head away. He probably drank half a bottle of white wine today.

Originally Lin Luo wanted to stop it, but Yun Shu took the initiative and said it didn't matter, so let him do it.

"not good."

Yun Shu shook his head expressionlessly, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Lin Luo: "...So you're still drunk?"

Yun Shu suddenly stopped and took a step closer to Lin Luo. The two were now less than a fist's length apart. "A pat on the head! I want one too."

——Could it be that he touched Xiaomeng and Tangyuan’s heads before dinner and is still thinking about them?

The word "speechless" flooded Lin Luo's mind, and then she felt amused. She just reached out and touched Yun Shu's deliberately lowered head. "Is it okay?"

Yun Shu's thoughts seemed to slow down a bit. After a few seconds, he nodded, straightened up, and continued walking forward. "Hold hands, together."

At the same time, he held Lin Luo's left hand, like two children going on a spring outing.

Lin Luo instantly felt that Yun Shu's hands were very hot. His own hands, which had been a little cold due to the wind, now felt an endless stream of warmth, and it seemed that his whole body was warmed up.

"Lolo's hands? They're so cold."

Compared with him, Lin Luo was indeed a little colder. She was just about to ask Yun Shu to let go so that she could put her hands in her pockets to be warmer, but before she could even say anything.

Yunshu made an amazing move!

he!

Just lift up your clothes!

Put Lin Luo's left hand on his waist and abdomen!

Then? Cover it with clothes and hold it tightly.

"Are you warm?" After doing this, Yun Shu gave Lin Luo a smile that seemed to be asking for credit.

Lin Luo: “!”

“Let go?!”

Lin Luo was about to explode with anger.

How could this be possible? How could this be possible?

Yun Shu tilted his head in confusion, "Isn't it warm?"

——Is this a question of whether it’s warm or not?!

Are men's waists and abdomens always as hard as a rock? Before his rebirth, Lin Luo's body was also very strong, but definitely not this hard.

Lin Luo wanted to pull his hand back, but Yun Shu was extremely strong at this time, and even used his other hand, "Lolo, don't move, you will catch a cold."

——Who will catch a cold?

Lin Luo suddenly lost the motivation to communicate with this drunkard. She just wanted to get home quickly.

The road was only a few hundred meters long, why does it seem so long now?

"Lolo, I didn't eat enough today. I didn't dare eat too much, for fear that they would dislike me. That fish is delicious. Luoluo, you have eaten it several times. I have learned how to make it. I will go tomorrow..."

Yun Shu held Lin Luo's hand tightly and kept muttering to himself. When Lin Luo listened carefully to what he said, he became confused and embarrassed again.

This guy was quite talkative when he was drunk. "Okay, Yunshu, I can't even walk like this anymore, let go."

Lin Luo doesn't like drunkards. He remembers that when he went to his father's relatives' house for dinner, the men always urged each other to drink, which seemed to mean that if you didn't drink, you were not giving them face.

Father Lin was fine, as he had a low alcohol tolerance and would get drunk after three cups. He would fall asleep as soon as he passed out. Mother Lin and Lin Luo just had to drag him to the bed.

But when other men drink, their true colors are revealed.

Especially Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin, they swore and made dirty jokes, and even got physical a few times.

Turning a nice family dinner into a mess made Lin Luo very disgusted with getting drunk.

But now Yunshu was also drunk, and she thought he was somewhat cute, like a big wolfdog humming and whining at you.

"Let go?"

Yun Shu finally obeyed this time and let go of Lin Luo's left hand. Then he walked steadily to the other side, grabbed Lin Luo's right hand and covered it with his hands. "It's not cold, it's not cold, Luo Luo is not cold anymore."

Lin Luo looked at the house in front of him, which was only a few meters away. He was too lazy to say anything. He used his free hand to open the door and turn on the light.

By the way, I took a look at the wolf cub's wolf house. There was nothing inside. It seemed that he went to the mountains to wander again.

"Okay, be good, go wash your face and then go to bed."

Lin Luo led Yun Shu upstairs and watched him wash his face and brush his teeth obediently, without any sign of drunkenness.

"good evening."

Although it was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, it was better for a drunk person to go to bed early.

After turning off the lights, Lin Luo finally closed the door and returned to his room, where he began to think about the sanatorium that Aunt Lan had just mentioned.

Yun Shu, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them. His eyes seemed both clear and confused. Then, he quickly closed them again and fell asleep with a satisfied smile.

When Lin Luo was first reborn, he came to Zhoujiawu just to find a place to retire.

No need for partners or anyone else.

After all, in her previous life, except for the first three years, she acted together with others. After her supernatural power reached level five, Lin Luo began to live alone.

I've long been accustomed to being alone.

Maybe it was because he was truly gifted, Lin Luo's ability upgraded much faster than that of ordinary people, and he also had a group attack skill with great lethality. If he acted alone, as long as he was careful, there would be no problem.

But in this life...

Lin Luo thought of Yun Shu and Grandma Yao. What if there were only three people left after the end of the world?

Without TV and internet, one or two years might be okay, but what about ten years? Will you be lonely?

Lin Luo didn't know, and had no way of knowing the answer. She stood up, opened the door to the terrace, and leaned on the fence to look at the entire Zhoujiawu.

Because it was close to the Chinese New Year, Zhoujiawu was much more lively at eight o'clock than usual. The lights in several places made the originally dim village look a bit warmer.

But such scenes will gradually disappear after the Lantern Festival, and the previous tranquility will return.

After standing there for nearly half an hour, until the cold wind made his hands cold again, Lin Luo went back into the house, closed his eyes and began to practice. No matter what, strength is the most important thing for survival in the apocalypse.

The next morning at seven o'clock, when Lin Luo came downstairs, Yun Shu was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast, but she did not stick her head out to greet Lin Luo as she did in the past.

Lin Luo's eyebrows twitched slightly. It seemed that someone still remembered what happened last night. She kindly didn't mention it and walked out of the yard to breathe some fresh air first.

“Ouch~”

The little wolf cub had just returned from the mountain at this time. It easily jumped over the two-meter-high wall. There was a trace of blood at the corner of its mouth. It seemed that it had returned from a full meal.

Although Lin Luo had never come into contact with a real wolf, the abnormality of this one was quite obvious.

The first manifestation is intelligence.

Just like now, although it was very happy to see Lin Luo, it did not pounce on him immediately. Instead, it ran to the pool beside the yard, jumped in, and used its right front paw to turn on the faucet.

First, it rinsed its mouth and paws, then turned off the water and jumped onto the towel Yun Shu had specially prepared for it and rolled around a few times before running towards Lin Luo feeling refreshed.

Even if Yunshu had trained it, it would be a shame if it didn't go to kindergarten with such intelligence.

"Lolo, time for breakfast."

Yun Shu had probably come out of his socially despairing state, and finally dared to talk to Lin Luo with a normal expression.

Lin Luo said seriously: "I'm going to the city to buy some things later. Do you want to come with me?"

Yun Shu hesitated for a second, "Yes!"

Lin Luo also thought of this last night. She stockpiled a lot of supplies, including some medicines and so on, but neglected the spiritual aspect.

Lin Luo collected all the books from his grandpa and Lin's father and mother and placed them on the third floor. However, those were all formal reference books. It was okay to read them occasionally, but one would need some other ways to entertain and relax in normal times.

Now that express delivery has stopped, Lin Luo thinks it’s better to go to the city to see if there is anything that can satisfy his spiritual needs.

The first stop she took Yunshu to was the bookstore.

The largest bookstore in the city.

"Pick the books you're interested in, the more the better. Meet here in an hour."

After Lin Luo assigned the task to Yun Shu, they went their separate ways. She first went to the comics area.

It is said that in her previous life, Lin Luo was considered a good girl by many people and she definitely would not read comics or novels.

But in fact, she not only reads comic novels, but also likes to play games. Of course, Lin's father and mother are open-minded. They don't think that grades are everything. As long as Lin Luo can control her time, they don't care about these aspects.

So, after more than ten years, Lin Luo still wanted to pick up his hobby again.

Read some comic books first, then buy a video game console later.

If possible, Lin Luo also wants to buy a DVD player and discs. Although these things are a bit old, they will still be quite useful when the end of the world comes and there is no Internet or signal.

"No internet? Can you use it without internet?!"

"Ah, this movie, let me look for it, I think it should be there."

"What, three? Yes, there are..."

For a whole day, Lin Luo took Yun Shu to visit almost the entire city. She also saw a small cotton candy machine for sale, and she had an idea and bought one!

Yun Shu: “…” He will learn how to make marshmallows when he gets home!

When the two returned to Zhoujiawu with a full load, it was just getting dark. After Yunshu and Lin Luo moved their things back to the house, they went to prepare dinner first.

Yesterday, I saw that Lin Luo liked those seafood dishes very much. Today, he happened to go to the city, so the two of them went to the seafood market and bought some ingredients.

Lin Luo could only help out by peeling garlic or something, the main chef was still Yun Shu.

Because it is winter, there are not many seafoods that can be cooked except for those specially prepared. Yunshu did not plan to make the dishes that he had eaten at Uncle Zhou's house yesterday, so he decided on two dishes: scallop vermicelli and dry-fried hairtail.

He also discovered during this period that Lin Luo likes fried food very much. The lotus root boxes he made before were almost finished by Luo Luo alone, and this time, the dry-fried hairtail fish should also be her dish.

But these two dishes alone were not enough. Aunt Lan's cooking skills yesterday made Yun Shu full of desire to cook today. After asking Lin Luo if she was hungry, he asked her to leave the kitchen and began to show off his cooking skills.

Lin Luo: “…”

Did a strange desire to win ignite in Yunshu?

But as for delicious food, Lin Luo still likes it very much.

So she picked up a plate of walnut-flavored melon seeds and sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Half an hour later, the aroma of food began to fill the living room, and Lin Luo's mind gradually shifted from the TV to the kitchen.

An hour later, the fragrance faded and the melon seeds in Lin Luo's hand no longer smelled fragrant.

Finally, when the sound of the kitchen range hood stopped, Lin Luo didn't wait for Yun Shu to call for help. He opened the kitchen door and poked his head out, asking expectantly, "Is it time to eat?"

Yun Shu took off her apron and brought the last dish from the steamer to the table. "Okay."

There were ten dishes on a small dining table. It was indeed a bit extravagant for a dinner for just two people, but Lin Luo didn't think so at all. If she wasn't afraid that it would be too much trouble for Yun Shu, she could eat like this every day!

Lin Luo’s first chopsticks really reached out for the fried hairtail fish.

When you take a bite of the fried golden and crispy hairtail fish, the tiny fish bones are completely negligible. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Moreover, because it is marinated before frying, the meat inside is also very flavorful. Lin Luo ate two large pieces in one breath before turning his attention to the scallop vermicelli.

The garlic on top was peeled by her!

She didn't pretend to be elegant by using chopsticks. Instead, she picked up the scallop shell with her right hand, blew on it twice, and then opened her mouth and swallowed it all in one gulp, including the delicious soup.

"Woo." Lin Luo narrowed his eyes happily, "I thought of a joke I saw online."

Before Yun Shu could ask what it was, Lin Luo continued, "Scallops probably never imagined that the shells they use to protect them would one day become plates."

Yun Shu: "...Ha, haha."

He also picked up a scallop and put it in his mouth. The vermicelli was full of soup and broke into pieces when he moved slightly, like a chewy little fish jumping in his mouth.

The scallop meat was also just the right chewiness, and even though it was Yunshu's first time making this dish, it was still very successful.

There were also eight other dishes including hand-shredded cabbage, stir-fried pork slices, etc. Lin Luo paired them with rice, and even though he only ate three or four bites of each, he felt full.

But with Yunshu here, there’s no need to worry about waste!

The meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, which made Lin Luo start to think about the New Year's Eve dinner in a few days.

"How about adding a fried hairtail fish dish for New Year's Eve?"

"Okay, would you like another lotus root box?"

“Yes—yes!”

In the next few days, Lin Luo did not travel far except for a few trips to the town.

Yunshu started preparing some dishes three days before New Year's Eve. For example, the wild boar that had been dried in the sun was ready to eat. Unfortunately, the ham could not be eaten for the New Year's Eve dinner due to lack of time.

"Lolo, how about saltiness?"

Yun Shu, who was frying radish meatballs in the kitchen, picked up a meatball and put it in Lin Luo's bowl.

Lin Luo picked it up and took a bite. After chewing it for a few times, he gave a thumbs-up. "It's just right. It's super delicious. Yunshu, you're amazing!"

Yun Shu couldn't help but smile when she received Lin Luo's flattery. "Okay, Luo Luo, you go outside first..."

"Sister Luo!"

Before Yun Shu finished speaking, Zhou Mengjie's voice was heard, along with Tangyuan's barking.

There aren't many entertainment activities in Zhoujiawu, and Zhou Mengjie can't play with other children. Recently, as long as Aunt Lan allows, she will come to find Lin Luo.

Even just watching TV on the sofa is more fun than being alone.

In response to this, Yun Shu secretly glared at the ten-year-old girl countless times.

"Sister Luo, look, look, I brought you something good?" As soon as Zhou Mengjie saw Lin Luo, she immediately pulled her sleeve mysteriously, causing Yun Shu to stick her head out to take a look at her.

The little girl opened her loosely clasped hands, and inside was a grasshopper woven from palm leaves. It looked very lifelike and was indeed a new toy for her.

Lin Luo: “…Ah, this is it.”

Grandma Luo is good at weaving this. She has received quite a few of them. One of them is particularly beautiful and has complicated workmanship. It is still kept in her makeup box.

After playing with Zhou Mengjie for a while, she was called away by Aunt Lan, probably because she was afraid of disturbing Lin Luo too much.

But the grasshopper brought back childhood memories, so Lin Luo went to the third floor again and dug out the makeup box. The original gold and silver jewelry had all been put away by Lin's mother.

Only the deluxe version of the grasshopper remained on the third floor, and it had not changed at all in the past ten years.

Holding it in his palm, Lin Luo couldn't help but smile.

But after playing with it for a few more times, Lin Luo frowned slightly.

In her mental perception, there is something...inside this grasshopper's body?
