056
Lin Cheng discovered that the little girl's aura was undergoing subtle changes. She had always been generous and confident in front of him, but now she seemed even more confident.
When he spoke to Lin Zhongrong in the evening, he reported what had happened that day truthfully, including the various situations here and the fact that he had not seen Mrs. Lin, but he did not mention Lin Man's statement of "blow".
However, after Mrs. Lin knew his identity and background, she did not immediately ask him about Lin Zhongrong. He felt that with the wisdom of her own leader, she would definitely be able to detect something.
Lin Zhongrong remained silent, but he didn't say anything to Lin Cheng. Instead, he asked, "Are you saying that place is more suitable for living?"
Lin Cheng said seriously, "It's not just suitable. Dayan Mountain is a very unique place and we must not give it up lightly. I think if we develop it well, it has great potential."
Especially now that there is a possibility of zombies reappearing in the north, a base in the south becomes of great significance. It is both a retreat and a guarantee.
Of course, this retreat and security is not for the reunion base, but for Lin Man and her daughter, and for the entire Lin family.
Lin Zhongrong understood. He had been hesitating between bringing Lin Man and her daughter back to the north and letting them stay in the south. Now, after hearing about the situation in Dayan Mountain, he was more inclined to the latter. However, the final decision still needed to be discussed with the mother and daughter.
Lin Zhongrong said, "If there's anything missing over there, I'll take it all over tomorrow. I'll probably be there tomorrow afternoon."
After the conversation ended, in Lin Zhongrong's private office in the core administrative area of the Northern Reunion Base, Lin Zhongrong hung up the microphone, pinched his brows, and sighed deeply.
Was she unwilling to see Lin Cheng because she felt resentful? She had every right to blame him. For those seventeen, nearly eighteen years, he hadn't fulfilled a single duty as a husband and father. He hadn't dared to imagine what his wife, pregnant and alone in those turbulent times, would have endured. Now that he knew they were still alive and well, and that she had raised their daughter, he couldn't imagine how much she had sacrificed all those years.
Thinking of tomorrow's meeting, Lin Zhongrong's long-quiet heart suddenly became a little flustered. What should he wear? He should not wear this dark combat uniform, but does he have other clothes? Is it time to cut his hair? Should he shave his beard?
He dug out a mirror for the first time and looked at himself. As a psychic, his physical condition was quite good, but the sun had tanned him all over over the years. Where was the charm of his youth? His brows furrowed.
Also, should he prepare a gift?
A bouquet for my wife? Well, flowers are nowhere to be found these days. Jewelry? Wouldn't that be too impractical?
What should I bring for my daughter, a girl I've never met? Pretty clothes? Snacks? What do girls like?
Lin Zhongrong has been busy these days. Although he received news about his wife and daughter yesterday, he has not had time to sit down and think carefully. Now that he has some free time, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he is overwhelmed with things, and the more he thinks about it, the more restless he becomes.
He called someone in and handed the list of necessary supplies listed by Lin Cheng to his subordinates to arrange. After walking around the room, he couldn't help but contact Lin Cheng. He didn't know what his daughter's personality was like or what her preferences were.
As for Lin Man, the mother and daughter had long passed the stage of panic and were leisurely making clothes in the space.
Chen Yu originally wanted to make a set for her daughter, but Lin Man refused. She had been hanging around Lin Cheng for so many days, and she was always wearing the same old clothes. It would feel weird to change into new clothes tomorrow in order to see her father. It would be better to keep it like this.
She sat aside and worked hard to sharpen the needle for her mother, grinding the iron barb into a needle, because she found that there was no proper needle around her. In the past, she could just use a broken-end needle or a wooden needle to sew those rough clothes, but this white linen could not be done in the same way, otherwise the stitches would be too obvious and look ugly.
She worked hard to grind an iron thorn into a fine needle bit by bit, and used her spiritual energy to drill a hole, which took a lot of effort. Then she removed the thread from the numbness and threaded it into the needle hole.
It took them nearly two hours to finish the clothes together. After some beauty treatments, they went to sleep in the space. No one in the valley would disturb them, and since Lin Cheng and the others were sleeping in the helicopter outside, they wouldn't notice that no one was in the room, so it didn't matter if they didn't go out.
Although Chen Yu could not absorb spiritual energy, she felt particularly energetic after sleeping in the space for a night. This was definitely not a psychological effect, but the space had such benefits. Lin Man thought it would be best to let his mother sleep in the space every day in the future.
Knowing that Lin Zhongrong would be coming in the afternoon, Chen Yu prepared himself and went to meet Lin Cheng.
After two cosmetic surgeries, Chen Yu looked several years younger. She came from a family of scholars, and whenever she wanted, her demeanor and manners could be very impressive. So when Lin Cheng saw him, he was surprised. He thought the Mrs. Lin he saw would be just like the other women here. Instead, he saw a middle-aged woman with obvious good manners and a decent appearance.
As expected of her, he thought, the commander's wife.
After talking for a few words, he slowly realized that something was wrong. Mrs. Lin seemed unable to get out of bed.
"Your legs..."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, I just can't get out of bed." She didn't seem at all upset about her paralysis. Lin Man, watching from the side, understood. She thought her mother would be embarrassed by her paralysis, but she didn't care. She cared about whether she looked decent and whether she was calm and composed.
Obviously, after having beauty treatments, my mother looks several years younger, wears new clothes, and has her hair neatly combed. She is now very calm.
Lin Cheng also admired her carefree demeanor. He hurriedly asked how long her leg had been like this and what the main symptoms were. He then said, "I will notify the commander immediately and ask him to bring the best psychic healer and medicine. He shouldn't have left yet."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Don't bother. Xiaoman can cure me."
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Man, who shrugged without denying, "I've already got the medicine, but if you have better medicine, that would be best."
Lin Cheng hurried to inform Lin Zhongrong. Fortunately, Lin Zhongrong had not set out yet. He was stunned when he heard the shocking news. He hurriedly brought the best medicine and several healing psychics, all of whom were the top ones in the base.
At around five in the afternoon, before it got dark, several more helicopters appeared over Dayan Mountain. They were a bit like fighter jets, more rugged and domineering, and there were three of them at once.
Everyone went out to watch. They already knew that it was Lin Man’s father who had arrived, so they were not too nervous or worried. Instead, they were very excited and happy.
Lin Man, Lin Cheng and others were waiting for them on the flat ground on the mountain. The first plane flew overhead, but before it landed, a black figure jumped down from it. The height of dozens of meters seemed non-existent to him. Amid the uproar of the people, he crashed to the ground with a bang, stirring up a lot of dust.
Lin Cheng called out "Sir", and the man raised his head, revealing a bronze face with strong and rough features, which was quite different from his appearance in the photo.
Lin Zhongrong in his twenties was naturally handsome and valiant, while Lin Zhongrong in his early forties had become rugged and murderous after more than a decade of trials and tribulations. A single glare from him was enough to make people's legs tremble and their hearts beat fast. His body also became stronger and broader, full of strength.
He restrained all his aura at this moment, and looked at the little girl beside Lin Cheng cautiously, but with an excitement that could not be concealed. He took a few steps towards her, looked at her carefully, and said after a while: "You and your grandfather are really similar, especially the eyebrows and eyes, but the nose and mouth are more like me."
Perhaps the power of blood is really strong. The first time he saw Lin Man, he was sure that this was his child. He felt extremely close and fond of her and wanted to give her the best things.
When he felt Lin Man was kind, Lin Man also felt that he was kind, and he was completely convinced that he was his biological father. But, did he look like him? Lin Man felt that he could not see it.
Lin Man blinked, looking up at her tall, unfamiliar father. He had a strong aura, the aura of a superpower. She was certain, at that moment, that this father of hers was truly a very powerful superpower, even more powerful than Lin Cheng. Furthermore, this father looked younger than she had imagined. His face was almost wrinkle-free, and his hair was completely black. Lin Man couldn't help but think that if she hadn't given her mother a facial, the difference between them standing next to each other would have been almost a decade.
Lin Man sighed in her heart and said, "I'll take you to meet my mother." She really couldn't bring herself to call him dad since they had just met.
Lin Zhongrong didn't care and kept saying "OK". He couldn't wait to see his wife whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years. He still clearly remembered her voice, appearance and smile. The closer he got to meeting her, the more nervous he became.
"Lin Cheng, take the supplies here. There are a few pink boxes. The things inside are for Xiaoman. Be sure not to bump into them." Then he said to the somewhat surprised Lin Man, "Dad brought you some gifts.
Lin Man said, "What about my mother?"
Lin Zhongrong laughed: "Of course your mother has it too."
Lin Man was satisfied and took Lin Zhongrong to the entrance of the valley.
"You go in by yourself. Everyone else has left. My mother is the only one inside." Lin Man said, "I'll wait here." Thinking that they might need space to talk alone, Lin Man considerately did not participate.
Lin Zhongrong was actually a little nervous. He tugged at his clothes, straightened his back and walked in.
Everyone else in the valley had left, leaving Chen Yu alone in front of their house, basking in the still-warm red sunlight. Houses were scattered across the valley, and the fields were lush green. The orange-red sunset made the place seem warm and tranquil, like a small paradise, or a simple and beautiful painting.
Chen Yu was sitting on a recliner with a thin blanket covering her legs. She didn't know what she was thinking about. When she heard footsteps, she turned around indifferently.
Lin Zhongrong's footsteps stopped involuntarily.
Lin Man stood at the entrance of the valley and heard her father, who had just appeared, call out in a hoarse and low voice: "Ayu."
