Lin Man didn't fly away directly. She didn't want people to see a dark figure sitting in the sky in broad daylight and then flying forward with the wind.
She walked a long way and found a place to enter the space. Looking at the food she had neatly packed on the open space, as well as the long knife and the beauty hammer, she sighed, sat down on the ground, grabbed a big apple from the hill of short, red apples nearby, and took a bite.
She was so thirsty, wow, it tasted delicious!
A pale figure walked out of the wooden house, holding a bowl of hot food. "Here, eat."
"Ah, Guanguan, you are so virtuous!" Lin Man quickly took a few more bites of the apple and threw the rest to the old hen that came to beg for food with a cluck: "Be good, after you finish eating, go back to hatching the eggs." Then he picked up the large bowl, which was a bowl of potato noodles.
The potato noodles are a little gray in color and relatively wide because they are cut into pieces. They are served with a few small green vegetables. There are chopped green onions floating in the soup, and a little bit of chili and vinegar. It tastes great.
Yes, the vinegar that the people of Dayan Mountain longed for with drooling eyes, they could only use pickled vegetables as a substitute, while Lin Man could eat real aged vinegar, which was all in stock, but there was not much left.
Guan Guan changed from a large human figure into a white ball again: "Don't forget that you still owe me ninety-five flowers. Also, don't hesitate to call me when you have such good things in the future!"
Guan Guan has now thought it through thoroughly. Although going out is not as comfortable as being in the space, it is also a good way to relax and relieve boredom, and it can also earn a lot of spiritual energy. It is better to go out more in the future.
"Uh-huh!"
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Man rested for a while and came out again. She had discovered before that this area was sparsely populated, so there were still some trees growing in some places. The vitality of the trees that could still survive at this time was extremely tenacious. There were only a few fruit trees in Lin Man's space, and if she came across a good tree, she still wanted to get a few.
Planting a tree is like hiring a small employee. Not only does everything the tree produces belong to her, but it also diligently produces a constant supply of spiritual energy for her, and she doesn't need to take care of it at all. She already has five such good employees, and a few more would be even better.
She wandered around the mountains and fields all day long, and then she found an old peach tree at the bottom of a crack in the mountain. It was the kind that grew twisted, but it had very strong vitality. She carefully transplanted it into the space, and then she found a very old, thin, and dying osmanthus tree, which she also took in. Finally, she found an old pine tree on the mountain wall.
She knew about these trees thanks to the gifts her father gave her mother. Lin Zhongrong also gave Chen Yu a lot of gifts, including a box of books. He was worried she'd get bored from being bedridden all year long, so he included all sorts of books, including books on flowers and trees. There were also a lot of TV series and movies, too. Chen Yu didn't watch much, but Lin Man would pick some up when he had time. He'd seen that Tang sword in a movie.
In short, those things greatly broadened Lin Man's horizons.
Lin Man was very happy to get three new employees, some of whom were old and some were ugly. Their age meant that if they could be kept alive, the spiritual energy they produced would be more and purer, as Guan Guan had said. Moreover, one of them could grow peaches, one could bloom osmanthus flowers, and the other might even produce pine nuts, all of which were delicious. How could she not be happy?
The three trees were obviously very happy to come to the space. After entering the pit, they did not show any signs of being wilted, and few leaves fell. They adapted very well.
Later, when flying over a vast and desolate area that was probably a Gobi Desert in the past but is now almost a desert, we found a fallen tree that looked like a mulberry tree. The main trunk was dead, but there were still two branches that were still tenaciously alive, with a few wilted leaves hanging on them.
Lin Man carefully broke off the two branches and inserted them into the soil in the space, worried that they would not survive and lose some spiritual energy.
Lin Man felt like he was collecting the spark of life on the barren land. At a certain moment, he felt that what he was doing was quite remarkable. Thinking about the fruits that the fruit trees would bear in the future, he became more motivated to look for them.
But she didn't know that after her father finished his work, he found out that his daughter had called him several times, so he quickly called back. It was Chen Yu who answered the phone. Lin Zhongrong was naturally very happy. This was the first time he had spoken to Chen Yu on the phone. Especially since Chen Yu asked him how he was doing recently and whether he had encountered any trouble.
Completely unaware that Chen Yu was asking these questions on behalf of his daughter, Lin Zhongrong was surprisingly excited and patiently replied that he was fine now, and that there were some minor problems at the base, but they would be resolved soon.
Hearing him say this, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This man was fine, and her daughter didn't have to run to the north. But the problem was that her daughter had already run there, and she hadn't come back until the next day.
Lin Zhongrong also asked her about the situation at the base, whether everything was okay, and whether her illness had been cured. Knowing that everything was going well, Lin Zhongrong was relieved. He was most concerned about them over there.
"I'll come to your place after I'm done with this busy period." Lin Zhongrong said, "By the way, where's Xiaoman?"
After hearing this, Chen Yu knew that he had not seen his daughter. She didn't know whether to explain the situation. After hesitating for a moment, her worry still prevailed over everything. She said, "Didn't you see Xiaoman?"
"No, I haven't seen her for days..." Lin Zhongrong didn't finish his words when he suddenly understood something, "You mean, she came to see me?"
His voice suddenly rose eight degrees.
Chen Yu whispered, "I don't know either. She said before that she wanted to visit you, but I don't know if she actually went." She didn't dare to say it too firmly, in case her daughter came back soon, she could make up her mind.
"Then when did she disappear?"
"last night."
"Are there any fewer planes at the base?"
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment: "No."
"That's fine." Lin Zhongrong breathed a sigh of relief. "If she wants to come to my place, she must have tools, right?"
No, she had "flown" there on her own. Chen Yu didn't know whether to be proud of her daughter's uniqueness or worried about her.
"Maybe she went somewhere. Your mountain is quite big." But thinking about a little girl running around in the mountains was quite worrying. She hadn't returned all night, so Lin Zhongrong said, "Hurry and send someone to look for her."
Chen Yu said, "Send someone over there to look for her. This girl is brave and capable, so maybe she can get away without making a sound."
"Okay." After hanging up, Lin Zhongrong made another call to Dayanshan, asking them to pay attention to the search for the person. He also did not relax on his side and asked someone to check whether there was any plane coming from the south from yesterday to now.
If they could arrive in such a short time, they must have flown from the sky. The base has a radar system. However, who knew that their plane was so extraordinary and had not even come to the Reunion Base?
Lin Zhongrong didn't think of going over to ask Lin Cheng. Going to Lin Cheng would seem like passing by. Besides, even if Lin Man came, he would definitely come to see him as his father. What does it have to do with Lin Cheng?
So even when Lin Cheng came back to report the situation, he did not mention this matter.
It was Lin Cheng himself who discovered the problem.
"Sir, are you looking for Lin Man?"
"Lin what? You call me Lin so unfamiliarly. I might have thought you were here to collect debts!" Lin Zhongrong was getting a little anxious and angry now. Lin Cheng was honest and didn't say anything. If he called "Xiaoman", he would have been given a cold stare. The commander, who had found his wife and children, was becoming more and more emotional.
Lin Zhongrong walked back and forth twice: "This girl has been missing for almost a day and a night, and she is nowhere to be found. She said she would come to find me, but she didn't use any plane. We searched all over the mountain over there and couldn't find her."
Lin Cheng's expression changed: "Haven't you gone back yet?"
"Hmm...hmm?" Lin Zhongrong stared at him with sharp and deep eyes, and Lin Cheng looked back silently.
Lin Zhongrong slammed the table and said, "Lin Cheng, tell me the truth about what you know!"
…
More than half an hour ago, dusk fell and Lin Man was eager to go home. She thought that she would not be discovered even if she flew into the sky, so she asked Guan Guan to take her back.
When she returned, before it was completely dark, she discovered that Dayan Mountain was in chaos. It was not that someone was rebelling or being attacked, but that people were running around as if they were looking for someone.
Lin Man muttered, "Is he looking for her? She just disappeared for a day. She's been gone for dozens of days before."
She first avoided people and returned to the valley. Chen Yu saw her stroking her chest and breathing heavily: "You're back!"
Lin Man blinked: "What's wrong? I said I might be back overnight, or it might take a little longer."
"Your dad called and said he didn't see you. I told him out of worry." Chen Yu said briefly, "Go call him back quickly. He's called so many times all day."
Lin Man touched her nose. She came back quietly because she didn't want to cause any commotion or have to think about excuses. Lin Cheng would not ask her about the whole story, but her father might not. She didn't expect that it would become a big deal in the end.
Lin Zhongrong and Lin Cheng were in a standoff when they suddenly received a call from their daughter. His anger subsided: "Where have you been? Daddy is worried!"
Lin Cheng faintly heard Lin Man's voice and lowered his eyes slightly, feeling relieved.
Lin Zhongrong was ninety-nine percent concerned with his daughter, but he also spared a little attention on Lin Cheng. However, he couldn't tell anything from his face, and he snorted in his heart, thinking that there must be something wrong.
