Chapter 54



Mother Lin sensed a change in her daughter's mood and looked at her with some concern. "You must have suffered a lot out there, didn't you? I heard you flew here?"

"It's a helicopter, not a plane." Lin Man lowered his voice. "It's Dad's people."

Mother Lin froze, her face filled with disbelief: "Who...are you talking about?"

"He didn't come himself. It's his people outside. Mom, let's go inside and I'll talk to you."

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment before coming to her senses: "Okay, okay..." She still looked distraught.

Lin Man bent down and picked her up, went into the room, closed the door, sat on the bed and told her everything: "So until now, I haven't seen the person, I just talked to him through the communicator, but it should be my dad." She gave the photo to Lin's mother.

When Lin Cheng explained his purpose, she believed the truth of the matter. She had nothing worth others' calculation except the space, and the space was kept secret, so who would be so bored as to go through so much trouble and spend so much effort to deceive her?

Mother Lin remained silent while listening, and even after she finished, she still had no reaction. She just stared blankly at the photo. Lin Man asked worriedly, "Mom?"

Guan Guan whispered, "Your mother looks even more unhappy than you."

Lin Man: "Don't talk nonsense, this is too unexpected and shocking."

Mother Lin touched the photo. "It's him, it's him." She flipped the photo over. "You said the child he adopted is waiting outside?"

"Yes, but although they are adopted, it is only a superior-subordinate relationship."

Mother Lin smiled and said, "No matter what the relationship is, he sent you back, so we should thank him. Please ask him to come over... Wait, give me the comb, and help me get a basin of water."

Lin Man couldn't see the reluctance in his mother's smile: "Mom, are you unhappy? If you don't want to see them, I'll let them go."

"No, no, it's just too sudden. I'm so disheveled." Mother Lin touched her hair and tugged at her clothes. Her hair was gray and a little messy. Although it wasn't dirty, it hadn't been washed in a long time. Her clothes were made of pieces of cloth and could only cover her body. There were many wrinkles on her face, and the skeletons of her ten fingers were so thick and the fingertips were so rough that fingerprints were gone. And her legs couldn't move at all. She couldn't even stand up...

Every place tells of her incompetence and desolation.

She was like a wrinkled, old woman who had been moldering in a dark corner for many years. She thought she had been forgotten and was happy with herself. But suddenly one day, a very dazzling light shone in, and an old friend stuck his head in to look at her. The old friend was still as bright as ever, even brighter than when they parted, while she had already faded and deformed.

Just like a fairy caught in a magic mirror, her true appearance is revealed and she looks extremely ugly. Can she calmly say "long time no see"?

At this moment, in Chen Yu's heart, after a brief surprise, what followed was a huge feeling of helplessness, panic and shrinking, just like when she saw this photo, she suddenly dared not face her past self and husband.

"Mom?" Lin Man didn't expect his mother to react like this.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I always thought I would be very happy to hear that your father was still alive, but I didn't expect..." Unexpectedly, she was actually scared.

Afraid of reunion!

Chen Yu quickly calmed down and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mom is just a little confused. It's okay. Just ask someone to come over. We are in such a poor condition. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Lin Man looked at her quietly: "Mom, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought them here without you being prepared. I'll let them leave first."

"No, no!" Chen Yu said, "They came from such a long distance to send you back. How can you chase them away? Just let them come. It's okay."

Lin Man took a deep breath and said, "At least see you tomorrow. I have something else to tell you about your illness."

"My illness?"

Lin Man touched her leg and said, "Maybe I can help you stand up again."

Lin Man walked out of the house to let his mother digest the information. At this time, Grandma Wu led the two little Wus in with smiles on their faces, holding something. Grandma Wu quickly said, "Xiao Man, your friends gave us these things. Can we take them?"

Lin Man took a look and saw a can of luncheon meat, a small packet of synthetic protein powder, a few potatoes, and some other useful items. Lin Man smiled and said, "It's okay, just take it with you. This can of food is just right for the two children to nourish themselves. Aren't the sweet potatoes and corn in the field almost ripe? I'll just make them a few dishes to thank them."

When Grandma Wu heard that she had to use the sweet potatoes and corn, she felt a little sad. They were still some time away from being fully ripe. But when she thought about the things that people had shared with everyone, she didn't feel bad anymore. "Okay, don't worry about it. I'll make a table full of delicious food."

Grandma Wu is now full of energy. The grain and vegetable fields have given her so much confidence and satisfaction, and given her hope for her whole life.

Grandma Wu asked a few people to go to work, and Lin Man walked out of the valley.

Lin Cheng was talking to Zheng Gang. Lin Man found that everyone was very happy and surrounded them, reluctant to leave. Everyone was holding a lot of things in their hands. These supplies were not used much in the Nanming base, but benefited the people here.

Seeing her come out, Lin Cheng came over: "Mrs. Lin..."

Lin Man said: "My mother is not convenient to see you today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Cheng immediately asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

"She's not in a good mood. I don't want to discourage her anymore today. Let her have a good rest first."

A blow? Is this a terrible thing? Lin Cheng didn't quite understand, but he didn't have to see Mrs. Lin. Anyway, the boss would be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it would be inappropriate for him to interfere too much in their family affairs.

Lin Man said, "You gave everything to everyone? Thank you."

"It's nothing."

Lin Man looked at the beaming crowd and said, "That's nothing! To thank you, I've prepared the best food. Come in and take a rest." Lin Man invited Lin Cheng and the other four in. Lin Cheng had no expectations for the best food she mentioned, saying, "Keep it for yourselves. There are energy bars in the cabin..."

Then he suddenly stopped, because he saw the vibrant fields in the valley. Seeing his extremely surprised expression, Lin Man was a little proud: "Very surprised, right?"

Lin Cheng nodded. He roughly counted the varieties and found it almost impossible to count them. In all these years, he had never seen so many kinds of vegetables and grains planted on a piece of land. Moreover, there was no fully enclosed space, no monitoring system, and no people in white coats moving around and studying them. They just grew in the open air, completely exposed, and even roughly.

He was even a little surprised.

The other four people were like this too. The tall and thin one exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, this is no ordinary place!"

Among the four people brought by Lin Cheng, Lin Man was most impressed by this tall and thin man. Not only because they met once at the Center for Superpowers that day, but also because he was the one who almost tripped Du Qiu last night and whose body was lying on the ground. If it weren't for his good luck, the body would have been cold.

It was only after Lin Man knew about this that he realized how much these five people had paid in order to find his whereabouts.

This man's full name is Zhang Changming, which shows that his parents' hope for him is to live longer.

This exclamation made Zheng Gang and others feel particularly proud. Although they were weak, they had treasures that were not available anywhere else. By waiting until the main crops in the fields were fully mature and then sowing them, they would definitely be able to save enough food before winter.

His back straightened a little.

Lin Man took Lin Cheng and the others to watch closely. Grandma Wu was leading people to dig sweet potatoes and break corn cobs. Lin Cheng came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Don't pick them if they are not ripe yet."

"It's okay. Just dig in from the side and dig out the big ones. Pick the big ones too," said Grandma Wu with a smile. She was very confident in the fields. If she came out, she might not dare to talk to anyone. "Young men, take a look and see what other dishes you want to eat. You're welcome."

As he spoke, he pulled five tender cucumbers down from the cucumber rack and handed one to each person.

Lin Cheng was still calm, but the others had already lost their composure, especially Zhang Changming, who loved the delicious food the most. His mouth was watering and he couldn't take his eyes off it. This was a cucumber, something they hadn't seen in their base for several years!

Lin Cheng felt embarrassed. Didn't he see that there were only a few cucumbers on the shelf? They must not be willing to eat them themselves, so how could he have the nerve to eat them?

Lin Man did not give them a chance to refuse, and stuffed one into each of their hands. Seeing that their leader had a sullen face and did not say anything, the four people quickly took a bite. It was really crunchy, and the fragrance of the cucumber immediately spread everywhere. They were so moved that they almost wanted to cry.

Zhang Changming was the smartest one. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and got down to the ground, calling out affectionately, "Grandma, if you need any help, just tell me!" Grandma Wu was very happy.

Then there were four of them helping to work in the field, holding cucumbers in their mouths. They were really young and strong, and they had just wanted to open up another piece of land, so they cleaned up the field as if it were a piece of cake.

Lin Cheng felt uncomfortable just standing there and watching, so he started working too.

Lin Man scratched his head. This development was somewhat unexpected, but having five more strong laborers was always a good thing.

She asked Zheng Gang to help entertain the guests and went back into the house.

Chen Yu had completely recovered by now: "It's too rude not to see him. You should ask that young man to come over. I want to say a few words to him."

"No, they're busy right now." Lin Man smoothed the white hair at her temples and asked Guan Guan, "Can I bring my mother into the space?"

"I couldn't do it before, but now I have more spiritual energy, so I can do it."

Lin Man said to her mother, "Mom, let me take you to the space to have a look."

Chen Yu was shocked: "Can I go in too? What if someone comes suddenly?"

"It's okay, Guanguan will know. Just close your eyes, you might feel a little dizzy." Lin Man said as he grabbed his mother's hand, and the next moment, they were in space.

The space was bright, neither too hot nor too cold, and the air was fresh. Although the space was not very large, it gave people a very expansive feeling. A huge white chicken occupied a large corner. It stretched out its chicken head and spoke in human language: "Hello, Lin Man's mother."

Chen Yu was startled.

Lin Man hurriedly carried her to her usual spot outside the cabin and said, "Don't be afraid. This is the Guan Guan I told you about. It's getting bigger and bigger because it's becoming more and more powerful."

Chen Yu looked at all this in shock: "So this is the space, this is really a great place."

"Yes, I'll bring you in often from now on." Lin Manhu said seriously, "Mom, I want to check your legs."

After healing her own wound, Lin Man seemed to have come to her senses. She placed her right hand on her mother's knee, gently releasing her spiritual power, pressing her legs upwards to explore.

Chen Yu felt a chill or warmth spreading from her knees upwards. She took a deep breath. Lin Man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No, it's very comfortable." Chen Yu said excitedly, "My legs haven't felt this way for a long time."

Her legs were not completely numb, and she would occasionally feel some vague tactile sensation. As long as she paid attention to it, she would feel extremely tormented. She had never felt so comfortable before.

Lin Man's spiritual energy gradually reached her waist, and then continued upwards. After a long time, Chen Yu was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep. She withdrew her spiritual energy and said, "I don't feel any other problems. I think the nerve repair medicine can be taken."

When the time came, she hesitated again: "I just learned how to use spiritual power like this. What if something goes wrong...or should I find an experienced healer?"

Chen Yu shook her head: "You can help heal Mom. Your spiritual power has flowed through my body, and I feel better than ever before."

Guan Guan suddenly came over and said, "This is true. Spiritual energy is inherently beneficial to humans, and the spiritual energy in your body has been tamed by you, making it gentler and more refined. It will be of great benefit to your mother. Even if you do nothing else, just letting the spiritual energy circulate through her body every day will make her healthy and radiant."

Lin Man said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Guan Guan said: "I just discovered it too."

Chen Yu was attracted by the radiance. She didn't want to become so glamorous or young, but she just wanted to not be as old and miserable as she is now.

She hopes to meet her ex-husband in a decent manner.
