"Yunshu." While searching for the wild boar, Lin Luo whispered to Yunshu, "Do you know why Xiaohei's father gave Xiaohei to you?" It seems that wolves still care about their cubs.
Yun Shu answered without hesitation: "It's dying, I'm entrusting it to you."
Lin Luo: “…Ah?”
If you think about it, the life span of a wolf is generally between ten and twenty years. Xiao Hei's father is almost at this age, which is even considered a long life for a wild wolf.
If it persists for a while longer, it might mutate by the end of the world. Once the mutation is successful, its physique and lifespan will change.
But a wolf still knows to entrust its child to someone before dying, and...it chose to entrust its child to someone else early because it thought it would be better not to let Xiao Hei develop feelings for it before leaving?
"Was Xiao Hei's father always so smart?"
Lin Luo's question made Yun Shu recall a little, "I don't think I was that smart at first."
He was probably seven or eight years old at that time. He and the wolf had their eyes on the same prey. After a fierce fight, Yun Shu won, but he did not choose to reserve an extra piece of meat. Instead, he let the wolf go.
Then, Yun Shu encountered a pack of wolves again. It was this wolf that suddenly appeared and roared twice, and the two sides stopped fighting.
After that, a delicate balance seemed to be reached, and the two sides began to cooperate in hunting.
Yun Shu was smart and strong, and the wolves used traps, while the wolves could find prey faster because of their large numbers. The two sides had a relatively peaceful period, which lasted for about two years.
Until Yunshu's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and hunting with the wolves was obviously no longer enough to satisfy him, so they parted ways peacefully. When they met occasionally, they would just glance at each other and then go their separate ways.
"It seems like you're getting smarter the longer you're with me!"
Yun Shu nodded as if to emphasize the truth of this statement, but to others, why did it sound so much like bragging?
Lin Luo is not an ordinary person. She believes that Yun Shu is not that kind of person, so... the problem lies with Yun Shu!
There was a faint thread in his mind that seemed to connect Yun Shu, the mysterious cave, and those pieces of iron with super powers bit by bit.
In the past, Lin Luo had never thought deeply about why Yun Shu was so strong. Now that he thought about it, this might be Yun Shu's special ability.
Strengthen physical qualities, such as strength and speed.
This is the most common and ordinary type of superpower. It is not as lethal as elemental powers and has other functions, and it is not as good as Lin Luo's mental powers.
Yun Shu is very strong. In Lin Luo's memory, only people with level five or six strength abilities can reach this level.
But there are still some unclear issues in this matter, such as Xiaobai and why Xiaohei's father were affected. I have never heard that superpowers can affect the intelligence of surrounding animals.
Lin Luo never expected that he would encounter such a thing as winning the lottery just because he picked up a person!
“Ouch!”
Xiao Hei suddenly rushed out again.
Lin Luo came back to his senses from his thoughts and knew what was going on after a quick look. "Yun Shu, we found a wild boar!"
Yun Shu made an OK gesture, picked up Lin Luo and followed Xiao Hei.
They don't want to kill the wild boar for the time being, they just want it to go to Xiaowu Mountain by itself. This naturally requires Lin Luo's ability.
But wild boars run faster than rabbits, and Yun Shu was afraid that Lin Luo could not keep up, so he chose this method directly.
Lin Luo: "..." Yun Shu may have awakened the ability of speed. This speed is not like that of ordinary people?!
The wild boar that was blocked by Xiao Hei was full of righteousness and wanted to teach the ungrateful little guy in front of him a lesson, but suddenly his movements froze.
Then he turned around and walked in a certain direction, which turned out to be Xiaowu Mountain.
Lin Luo: "...I don't know if this pig is male or female. Why don't we catch a few more and wait for them to give birth to piglets in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu and Xiao Hei suddenly looked at each other in tacit understanding. The man and the wolf simultaneously understood the meaning in each other's eyes: Fortunately, I can't eat it!
For Lin Luo's great plan, they continued to look for new wild boars. It was now 3:30 in the afternoon. Lin Luo decided to go back if he didn't find any by 4:30, otherwise he would be hungry.
She and Yunshu were not afraid of walking at night at all, because the animals that could hurt them had not yet been born.
After walking for a while, Lin Luo blinked his eyes slightly. Unexpectedly, the wild boar did not come out, but a bigger guy came.
Then, Xiao Hei seemed to have noticed it as well. He bent his front legs slightly, revealing the sharp teeth in his mouth and bared them fiercely in a certain direction, while making a low grunting sound. It seemed that he had also discovered that the guy was not someone to be trifled with.
"Yunshu, there's a tiger, do you want one?"
Lin Luo's tone was like finding a dime on the side of the road and asking Yun Shu if she wanted to pick it up.
The tiger is indeed a treasure from head to toe, but it is also a nationally protected animal.
Lin Luo thought about the area of Xiaowu Mountain. If he brought a tiger back, the wild boars and rabbits would probably become its food.
"No, tiger meat doesn't taste good."
Yun Shu spoke shockingly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what he said.
Lin Luo: "...If someone like you is discovered, he will be arrested and forced to reflect on his actions for many years." She made a joke, and then remembered the jokes she had seen on the Internet before.
If you encounter a tiger when you are extremely hungry, is it illegal to eat it?
Then someone answered: It’s not illegal, as long as you can eat instead of being eaten.
Now it seems that this answer is tailor-made for Yunshu!
In the time it took for these two sentences to pass, two golden lights appeared in front of Lin Luo and the others in the distance. They were the eyes of the tiger.
It probably realized that the people here were not easy to deal with, so it did not approach rashly. Instead, it stood at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, watching the group of unknown creatures that suddenly appeared vigilantly.
Lin Luo didn't have the patience to confront it. Just as he was about to use his mental power to drive it away, he suddenly had a good idea. "It's familiar with this place. It should know where there's plenty of food!"
Instead of relying on two people to wander around randomly, it is better to find a "regular customer" to lead the way.
The tiger probably never thought that one day he would play the role of a "tour guide". Unfortunately, under the mental suggestion of Lin Luo, he obediently led these guys to the place where he usually hunted.
Lin Luo spread his mental power and soon found a wild boar and several of its cubs. It was a buy one get N free deal, very cost-effective!
Having successfully completed the task, Lin Luo happily sent the tiger away. She and Yun Shu quickly walked down the mountain. After walking for so long and using up a lot of mental energy, she was really a little hungry.
On the way down the mountain, they also found a small piece of wild amaranth. It was delicious when stir-fried with dried tofu. It was perfect for the summer when we don't want to eat greasy food. Lin Luo caught all of it.
When they returned to the house, the sun had just set. As usual, they took a shower to wash off the dust on their bodies, and then went to the kitchen.
As the daytime hours grew longer, Yun Shu and Lin Luo's dinner time was also postponed accordingly, usually around seven in the evening.
"Lolo, how about this dried tofu and amaranth, boiled edamame, sweet and sour pork ribs, and stir-fried loofah with shrimp?"
They were all very refreshing dishes perfect for summer, so Lin Luo had no objection. "Sure, I'll get another plate of sweet and sour radish. That's quite appetizing."
Being hungry and having an appetite are two different things. If possible, Lin Luo would like to eat the watermelon and ice cream until she is full, but Yun Shu obviously would not see her do that.
"Then Luoluo, please bring me the shrimps. I want five bags."
Lin Luo nodded. In order to better sort and search, the freezer in the basement is now arranged like this: one for seafood, one for meat, and one for frozen foods such as dumplings and buns, as well as other miscellaneous items.
The freezers in the two refrigerators in the kitchen are all used to store ice cream, popsicles and other snacks.
Lin Luo walked into the basement and just opened the door, he saw Xiaobai lying on one of the freezers.
It has recently liked the basement very much. Even though the living room has air conditioning, the basement is darker and seems more suitable for sleeping.
For this purpose, Xiaobai also automatically learned the skill of opening the door.
"Xiaobai, I'm going to open the counter."
It happened to be lying on the freezer where seafood was stored. While Lin Luo was talking, he was about to pick up Xiaobai and move it away, but it stood up by itself, shook its thick fur, jumped off the freezer, and then turned around and meowed at Lin Luo.
——This was a signal for her to follow.
Lin Luo raised his eyebrows, turned around and followed.
Soon, Lin Luo seemed to understand something when he smelled a faint smell at the tip of his nose.
Sure enough, a huge dead rat was found in the corner of the basement. It was as big as a normal man's foot, and even looked only a little smaller than the fluffy-haired Xiaobai.
Looking at the body? It looks like he died from a sharp claw.
Lin Luo glanced at Xiaobai. It was still as clean and white as ever, with no trace of its previous appearance of catching mice.
In fact, Lin Luo had considered the hidden dangers of rats a long time ago. He not only bought some equipment for catching rats and cockroaches, but also left mental marks in every corner to try to deter creatures that act on instinct. However, the less intelligent the animal, the more difficult it is to control its mental power because it cannot think at all.
Could this particularly plump one be the Rat King? He's quite courageous!
"Xiaobai is so great!" Lin Luo decided to give Xiaobai a snack later, and then checked the condition of some things in the basement. Fortunately, they were not destroyed by rats.
After receiving the praise, Xiaobai wagged his tail, jumped directly onto the stairs and walked out of the basement, then hooked his hind legs and closed the door.
——Should I praise it for its good habits?
Lin Luo laughed as he gathered his things and was about to go up to deal with the rat's corpse later, when he suddenly stopped and scanned the corpse with his mental power.
Sure enough, the mouse only had this one fatal wound, and there were no signs of fighting or biting, which means that Xiaobai killed a large mouse of the same size as itself with just one claw.
Clean and neat, a complete crushing victory!
This combat power... is quite strong.
"Lolo? Why did you take so long?" Yun Shu even thought of going to the basement to look for her.
Lin Luo put down the things in his hands and told the story of Xiaobai just now. Finally, he sighed: "Xiaobai is really a hidden talent."
It doesn't go up the mountain to hunt every day like Xiao Hei. It seems that it likes to lie there lazily all day long. I didn't expect that it is also a fierce warrior.
Yun Shu didn't find it strange, "No one raised by Luo Luo is ordinary."
Even Xiao Hei is smarter than ordinary wolves and has greater strength and speed.
Lin Luo: "...Is it because of me?"
Can superpowers really affect the creatures around them?
Lin Luo couldn't get the answer for the time being. It wasn't until Yun Shu reminded him of the garlic he picked up with his chopsticks that he turned his attention back to the food. "Mm, the shrimp are delicious!"
Yun Shu: "Then eat more."
Over the next ten days, Zhoujiawu finally returned to peace. The sanatorium had not yet started construction, and the villagers who had left had to wait until the master had exorcised the evil spirits before returning.
The master has found it, but we also have to choose a day!
It is said that the date was chosen in August.
Lin Luo didn't care when he heard that and continued to play the double fighting game with Yun Shu. He thought that the master would probably never come again in this lifetime.
On July 30th, Zhou Yaozu returned to Zhoujiawu with his family.
He happily brought a lot of things for Lin Luo. "It seems that Miss Luo has grown taller than she did during the Chinese New Year. She's even taller than me."
He was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, indeed not as tall as Lin Luo.
Lin Luo smiled and touched the glutinous rice balls that rushed towards him. "Maybe it's the beauty of Zhoujiawu's mountains and rivers that nourishes people."
"Hahaha." Zhou Yaozu laughed. "That makes me want to retire early and live here."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to go to school either!"
Zhou Mengjie is about to enter the fifth grade at the beginning of the school year. Her schoolwork is becoming increasingly busy, which makes her feel a little averse to studying.
Then he was ruthlessly suppressed by Aunt Lan.
"What a coincidence! Uncle is back this year too." Aunt Lan smiled and looked at Lin Luo. "Come to Aunt Lan's house tomorrow. Aunt Lan will cook a big meal for you!"
Lin Luo was about to talk about this when Yun Shu came out with a fruit plate. She handed it to him and said, "Auntie Lan, don't be tired tomorrow. Come to my house for dinner."
"How can we let you, two little kids, cook for us? No, no!"
Aunt Lan shook her head repeatedly. Lin Luo knew that with her careful handling of things, she would definitely not agree, but it didn't matter, she still had a trump card.
"Yunshu's cooking is delicious. I've invited Grandma Yao to dinner tomorrow night. Let's have a nice meal together."
"I've never seen so many people here before."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yaozu and Lan Yueyin both showed a trace of heartache, and they couldn't say no.
Yun Shu took the opportunity to chime in: "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. I won't cook anything you can't eat."
Zhou Mengjie was amused and laughed out loud, "Dad, come on, come on."
"Okay then. Ask Aunt Lan to come early tomorrow to help. We brought back a lot of food. Don't buy any more. Let's have a good time tomorrow."
Although tomorrow is not an important day or a holiday, it's fine as long as everyone is there and we have a meal.
Zhou Yaozu's words settled the matter.
"By the way, don't forget Uncle Zhou. He's been taking care of me a lot lately. I have to thank him very much."
Lin Luo's words made Zhou Yaozu wave his hands repeatedly, "Of course, of course. Don't worry, everyone will be here tomorrow, and it will be a lively occasion!"
"My brother's drinking capacity is so good, Xiaoyun has met his match this time." Zhou Yaozu was obviously thinking of the New Year's dinner, when he was drunk but Yunshu was still calm.
When Auntie Lan told him the story afterwards, it was so funny that Zhou Yaozu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Lin Luo and Aunt Lan laughed at the same time.
So, tomorrow’s dinner is scheduled at Lin Luo’s house?.
Those present: Lin Luo, Yun Shu, the Zhou family members and Grandma Yao.
After seeing off Zhou Mengjie who was reluctant to leave, Lin Luo stood in the yard and looked at the nearby Xiaowu Mountain.
Others might ignore it, but in Lin Luo's eyes, Xiaowu Mountain has completely changed.
——Tomorrow...
July 31st, 9:36 PM, the end of the world begins.
There are only less than thirty hours left until it arrives.
Weather? The forecast says it will be a sunny day tomorrow.
The author has something to say: Yes! It’s the next chapter!
