Chapter 11



==================

Although no one lives here and the floor is covered in dust, it should be fine after a simple cleaning.

"If it's painted, it will definitely look brand new." Lina touched the wall and seemed to like it very much.

"Do you want to live here?" Lian Yun asked.

"Ah? Am I alone?" Lina blinked and pointed at herself in disbelief.

Lian Yun didn't expect Lina to react so strongly: "Don't you have a house in the village?"

Lina shook her head: "Actually, our village is not rich. There is nothing but a desert and a mountain nearby. There are not many people in the village, and there are not many houses."

"When I was in the village, I slept with different sisters every day," said Lina.

Lian Yun really didn't expect their village to be like this: "But doesn't your village have a caravan? How come..."

How can you be so poor?

"Most of the children in our village don't have parents. Like me, Barry, and many others. Just keeping us well fed, clothed, and warm is a huge expense."

"But fortunately, Uncle Garin has promised the village chief this year that he will no longer pick up children from the village." Lina laughed.

"The adults are very good to us. We've never been hungry and we've grown up healthily. We're very satisfied."

Lina smiled and turned around to show Lianyun her clothes: "This is a dress worn by my sister. It looks new, right? She kept it very well!"

Lian Yun was silent.

Just looking at the caravan's reaction when faced with a large pile of gold coins yesterday, I really can't imagine that their village is so poor.

But it is precisely because of this that people feel how rare it was that they did not become as ecstatic as ordinary people and remained calm.

Perhaps they had earned these gold coins while traveling far and wide, but to them, they were probably just currency to ensure the healthy growth of their children.

They are never stingy when spending money on these orphans, so they are never crazy when they get money.

Moreover, when she was with Lina, she only felt that Lina had a very sunny personality and was not sensitive or inferior at all.

It also shows how much the villagers care about their children's education.

Lian Yun stood in awe.

They are all people worth making friends with and spending time with.

Also... very similar to the kind people in her hometown.

Lina looked at Lian Yun, who suddenly became dazed, and waved her hand in front of her: "Lord sister?"

Lian Yun came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

I haven't thought about them for a long time.

Lina said caringly: "Uncle Garin will no longer bring children back to the village, and everything will get better and better. Lord sister, don't worry."

Lian Yun smiled and touched her head, then continued the conversation: "You seem quite confident."

"Like the town of the lord's sister, although it is shabby and empty, with no one here, isn't she still persevering?" Lina encouraged her naively.

Lian Yun, who was suddenly called out: ...I don’t know who feels sorry for whom for a moment.

"If you like, you can live in this room, okay?" Lian Yun suggested.

"Is it really possible?" Lina was excited but shy: "Then, what about my sister?"

"Or else, sister, come with me!"

Lian Yun glanced at the houses.

This house is quite large, with three bedrooms, two upstairs and one downstairs, and a kitchen with cabinets and a countertop built into the wall.

Although there is no furniture, it is much better than sleeping on the street.

"Okay." Lian Yun smiled easily and made the decision immediately.

"Let's clean up and take Lanna with us."

Lina clapped her hands happily: “Then I’ll go find Brother Lana!”

The little girl ran out in a flash. Lian Yun was worried about her ankle injury and hurriedly told her to run slower.

Lanatti brought the water, while Lianyun and Lina were responsible for sweeping the dust.

Time passed quickly. Several people cleaned up the house, dismantled and put away the tent in front of the store, and filled the three rooms with animal skins.

When there was no bed, we had to sleep on animal skins, the advantage of which was that we could roll around.

Several people started graffiti on the wooden wall outside with paint.

Lina drew a picture of herself and dotted the green eyes. After thinking for a moment, she drew a slightly taller figure next to her and dotted two black eyes.

"My sister the Lord and I!" Lina said with a smile.

Lanna stood on a wooden ladder nearby, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and continued to paint his side wall silently.

"Come and draw one too." Lian Yun called him with a smile.

So Lanna obediently went down the wooden ladder and walked to the front wall, where Lina handed him a brush stained with black paint.

Lana moved to the side of the little figure painted by Lian Yun with the brush, but he did not start painting.

Lian Yun considerately pushed the remaining buckets of paint over to him and said, "Don't you like this color? Feel free to change it."

Lana hesitated to speak, and after much hesitation, he finally took action.

One minute later.

There was complete silence.

The three of them fell silent at the same time when facing the crooked "circle".

"...So, this is why Brother Lana doesn't want to paint?" Lina tried to make her voice sound less shaky.

Lana looked helplessly at the two people who were trying to hold back their laughter, and was obviously not willing to admit his shortcoming.

"There's no such thing as an omnipotent person." Lian Yun coughed dryly a few times, trying to suppress the smile that was rising wildly from the corners of his mouth: "At least this circle is drawn very uniquely!"

She took the brush, bent down and added a few strokes to it, and it finally looked like a complete little person.

"Look! You are by my side now." Lian Yun raised his chin towards him.

"Thank you, sir." Lanna lowered his eyes slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xiaobai moved quickly on Lianyun's shoulder.

Lian Yun turned off the screen and immediately heard a soft muttering: "I want to be painted on it too!"

"Okay, okay." Lian Yun patiently drew a white mark on his shoulder on the wall.

noob:"……"

Does it look like this?

"You're in the desert and may not have looked in the mirror. You look like this." Lian Yun said righteously.

Xiaobai looked at Lina, the most honest of the three, who awkwardly avoided his gaze and looked up at the sky.

Although the final result was not particularly good-looking, except for Mou Bai who became depressed, the three of them had a lot of fun.

"Then let's assign the rooms."

"Why don't you let me live downstairs?" Lana suggested.

"If there's any disturbance, I can find out immediately."

The next two rooms were easy to divide. Lina was determined not to take the larger one: "I'll be very, very satisfied with just having a room! The larger one must be left for the Lord Sister!"

"Okay." Lian Yun understood that both of them were giving in to him, and he felt relieved.

[Ding—Congratulations, Lord, for triggering the side quest!]

Noticing that Lian Yun was stunned again, the two of them understood and continued to clean the room.

[Side Quest: Crowded Houses (I) (Unlocked): The Lord has finally explored this deserted town and found his own room. As a construction enthusiast, do you find all these houses and rooms empty? Let's continue recruiting residents! You'll be delighted by the increase in residents!]

[Quest item distributed: Strange-flavored berries x 5]

[Side Quest: Crowded Houses (I) (In Progress): Lord, please find a suitable time and place to crush the berries. You will get unexpected results!]

Lian Yun saw the description of this side quest, opened his backpack, and found the sweet berries that had just arrived.

[Strange-Smelling Berries: When crushed, they release a scent that attracts life forms around the town, guiding them to it. (Warm Tip: Please prepare in advance.)]

"How are you guys doing with the packing?" Lian Yun shouted downstairs, ready to take a look at this thing with them.

"Sister Lord, this animal hide is so soft! I've never seen it before! It will definitely fetch a good price on the market." Lina ran out of the room and shouted while lying on the wooden railing.

She saw the strange thing in Lian Yun's hand, and ran down the stairs in a few steps, almost bumping into Lana who was polishing his sword.

Lina rubbed her head and ran to Lian Yun, her eyes shining with curiosity: "Sister Lord, there are really a lot of things here that I have never seen before. What is this?"

Lian Yun read out its function word for word to the two of them, then looked at Lana: "Haven't you seen it either?"

The latter shook his head: "I haven't seen it. But from your description, it's not necessarily safe, right?"

"That's right. The general meaning is that it releases different scents, which will attract different lives." Lian Yun pursed his lips, also worried about this: "Although I need manpower now, this is a bit risky."

"If you want to give it a try, it's not impossible," Lanner pondered. "Little White should be the only flying gerbil left nearby. No malicious monsters can enter the town. I'll go for a walk around tomorrow morning to see if there are any other signs of monsters."

"Then I'll go too!" Lina raised her hand. "I know a lot about the habits of monsters!"

Lian Yun nodded in agreement: "Be sure to be careful."

The three of them also spread a piece of animal skin in the living room. Lina poured the packages left by the caravan on it, and handed it to Lian Yun to explain while flipping through it.

"This is dried parsnip. It's fragrant and crispy, but not as delicious as the Lord's sister's potato chips."

A large bundle of bright yellow food similar to dried mango.

"This is a flint. It will produce sparks when you strike it. You can use it to light a fire at night."

Lian Yun took over a few black, irregular stones.

In addition, there were some other foods. Every time Lina took out one, she gave it to the two of them to try. After a few rounds, Lian Yun saw that the physical strength bar above his head was full, so he waved his hand to refuse.

These foods are somewhat similar to those in Lian Yun's world, but there are differences in taste and texture.

However, if I have the opportunity to make some improved cooking styles in the future, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Seeing that Lian Yun stopped eating, Lana put down her food as well.

Lian Yun glanced at the stamina meter above his head and handed the food to him: "Keep eating."

Lanna took it and started eating quietly again.

"What is this?" Lian Yun saw a familiar white thing standing out among a pile of debris.

"Ah?" Lina looked blankly in the direction Lian Yun pointed, was obviously stunned, then pinched the thing with two fingers and lifted it up.

"Huh? Why did you put this thing in here?" Lina took it aside and obviously didn't like it very much.

Lina frowned and flicked her fingers, trying to dispel the smell: "We don't like the smell very much. I heard that it had magical effects many years ago, but I don't know why it was banned from cultivation."

"Later, there was no such regulation, but because it had little value, few people planted it."

"As for this one, it probably accidentally rolled in while I was disposing of the rubbish."
