Seeing that everyone was in position, Lu Manman suddenly released the vines binding the mutated pig.
Overjoyed at regaining its freedom, the mutated pig immediately took off running.
Their scattered movements and running around terrified everyone.
Before they could react, Lu Manman once again controlled the vines to bind them tightly, and then controlled the branches to pull them together.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone's emotions were like a rollercoaster, going up and down.
Mutant Pig: ...You're so high and mighty, you think you're so great, you're just making fun of us.
After the grandfathers realized what was happening, they were all shocked by Lu Manman's methods. They had only ever seen Lu Manman accelerate plant growth, but they didn't know that she could also control plants in this way and that way.
They're worrying unnecessarily.
Gu Lin shook his head, somewhat helplessly, "It seems you are much more capable than we thought. From now on, we won't stop you from going out. If you want to go out, just tell us and we'll go with you. We're very worried about you sneaking out like this."
"Okay! It's settled then," Lu Manman's eyes lit up, finally able to run out openly. "But what should we do with this mutated beast?"
Gu Lin thought for a moment, then said, "Come with me."
Lu Manman led the mutated pig herd, while Gu Lin led everyone else.
Finally, we arrived at an empty corner on the edge of the safe zone.
Gu Lin pointed to a corner of the safe zone, "There is already a wire mesh fence here with strong electricity. We just need to put up another section to form a mutant pigpen. Then we can build a pointed fence around it, and they shouldn't be able to get out."
Chen Hua nodded. "That's a good suggestion. Even if they cross the fence, as long as they touch the barbed wire, they'll automatically turn into roast pigs."
Qu Fu: "We definitely can't eat all of these. This place is relatively remote, so it's good to keep them here."
This suggestion was unanimously approved, and perhaps we won't have to worry about meat dishes anymore.
"Let me build this fence." Lu Manman drove the mutated pig to a corner, and before anyone could react, she conjured up a ring of closely connected trees, each with a pointed top.
Zhong Lizhong exclaimed "666! This efficiency and this effect are simply amazing!" with six "666"s.
Qi Chao also hurriedly ran back and brought over a bunch of materials. With everyone's help, they surrounded the area with barbed wire.
And so the group kept the mutated pig here.
Afterwards, everyone tacitly hid to the side and watched for a while. Thankfully, the mutated pigs did not escape.
Mutant Pig: What a joke! This barbed wire has ruined many of their ancestors. Not touching barbed wire is an ingrained tradition. They're not stupid enough to use their flesh and blood to fight against strong electricity.
Moreover... with so many people hiding to the side, do they really think the noses of these mutated beasts are just for show?
However, I must say, the food here is delicious, which at least soothed their wounded little hearts.
Looking at the wild boars wolfing down their grass, Lu Manman said happily, "They look so well-behaved. Let's eat! I really want to try some roasted meat."
"Haha, okay, whatever the child wants to eat, we'll make it."
These mutant pigs were all plump and strong. In the end, the grandfathers chose a mutant boar and began to slaughter it.
Because it had been so long since we'd eaten meat, the important task of cooking meat for the first time was entrusted to Gu Lin, the oldest and most knowledgeable person in the family.
Following his memory, Gu Lin cut the slaughtered pork into pieces with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, skewered them together with thin iron rods, and roasted them over the fire.
Soon, the sizzling sound of grilling meat filled the air. The meat chunks were browned and glistening with oil under the heat of the charcoal fire, and the aroma was irresistible.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, inhaling the aroma of barbecue wafting through the air.
"It smells so good! I haven't smelled this in so long."
"We're enjoying life thanks to our children."
"I never imagined that we would be able to eat mutated pork one day. I never dared to dream of it before."
"..."
Everyone gathered around the barbecue, reminiscing about the delicious food. Seeing everyone's happy faces, Lu Manman was also very happy. Barbecue was indeed a wonderful thing, and she would definitely bring back more for her grandfathers in the future.
Gu Lin gave the first batch of roasted meat to Lu Manman, saying, "Child, come and try Grandpa Gu's cooking."
"Mmm!" Lu Manman took the roasted meat, took a bite, and although there was no seasoning, it was still incredibly delicious, even better than porridge and nutritional supplements.
Lu Manman gave Gu Lin a thumbs up, "This tastes amazing, delicious!"
As Lu Manman spoke, she shared the roasted meat with all the grandfathers present. After taking a bite, everyone was filled with satisfaction. Zhong Lizhong was so moved that he almost cried, "Delicious, delicious, thank you, child, thank you, child."
Everyone was expressing their gratitude to Lu Manman. Lu Manman's appearance made their lives no longer aimless and gave them hope. Even if they were just raised like a baby, it would make them feel that their lives still had meaning. They were grateful to her and were willing to treat her well.
But now the road ahead is long and arduous, which has truly given them an unexpected and wonderful surprise.
Looking at the grandfathers, Lu Manman was also deeply moved. "You don't need to thank me. You've been good to me, and I'm willing to be good to you too. You've given me warmth, and I want to do something to help you so that you can have a better life. That would make me very happy."
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue.
Since then, Lu Manman would bring her grandfathers back every few days to raise some animals in the safe area.
Later, the grandfathers discovered that capturing mutated beasts was really easy for Lu Manman and wouldn't harm her. On the contrary, their presence would only distract her and cause her trouble. So they simply stopped going and focused on working in the safe zone.
And so, the grandfathers took care of the household while Lu Manman took care of external affairs, living a simple yet warm life.
On this day, Lu Manman captured another group of mutated chickens.
The grandfathers skillfully placed the mutated chickens into the pre-prepared enclosure and locked them up.
Feng Zhi laughed and said, "We've added another item to our menu. Kid, what would you like to eat later? I'll make it for you."
"Fried chicken, beggar's chicken."
Lu Manman blurted out, and the grandfathers were all dumbfounded. Lu Manman herself was also dumbfounded. What was this?
Gu Lin thought carefully, "What are fried chicken and beggar's chicken? I've never heard of them."
Everyone nodded in unison, confirming that they had never heard of it before, and turned their gaze to Lu Manman.
The road ahead is long: ...
As expected, it's green porridge and roast chicken again today. Lu Manman expressed some resistance, saying that even the most delicious food gets boring if eaten every day. "How about I cook for you today and try making a meal for you?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances. "Do you remember what happened outside?"
Lu Manman shook her head. "No, it's just that I feel I should be able to do it."
"good!"
They were also curious about what people outside were eating these days.
Actually, Lu Manman was quite unsure of herself, but in order to improve the taste, she still gritted her teeth and went ahead with it.
Lu Manman held a chicken in her left hand and a knife in her right, and slit the mutated chicken's throat, silencing its screams.
This practiced movement startled everyone present, including Lu Manman herself.
However, Lu Manman seemed to be getting more and more into it, and then she bled, removed the hair, cleaned the internal organs, and cut it into pieces, all in one smooth motion.
This was the first time everyone had seen chicken prepared this way. Usually, they would clean it and then simply skewer it with an iron rod and roast it. This method filled them with anticipation.
Everyone looked at Lu Manman with starry eyes, eagerly anticipating her next move.
But Lu Manman remained motionless for a long time, stunned.
Shi Tu, who was quite interested in cooking, spoke up, "Kid, what's wrong with you?"
