Lin Dan didn't know why she could weave cloth. Not only could she weave, she could also dye, embroider and cut it. She guessed that before she lost her memory, she was probably an all-round person who knew a little bit about everything, especially in daily life.
She was afraid that Luo Yuyan's clothes wouldn't fit her well, so she waved her hand and said, "Go try them on and see if there's anything you want to change."
"Okay, thank you Sister Lin!" Luo Yuyan ran away happily. Luo Yuheng looked at her back, feeling a little funny and envious. He also wanted Lin Dan to make a set of clothes for him, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
As they were talking, Xiao Qiu came back carrying a big sack. He was covered in mud and looked very disheveled. She put the things down the hallway and shouted, "Lin Dan, I dug some kudzu root. Can you help me steam it and eat it later?"
"Okay, come in, I have something for you." Lin Dan leaned over the railing and looked down.
Xiao Qiu walked quickly into the hall, holding a pair of leather boots that were so worn out that they could hardly be worn. This was her last pair of shoes. She had wanted to cherish them, but after she fell on the mountain today, they were ultimately ruined. It would be great if there was 502 all-purpose glue. I could glue the soles of the shoes together and they would still be wearable. Unfortunately, 502 has been discontinued for a long time.
When all supplies are looted by the survivors and the new industrial system fails to be established, the world will gradually regress from the high-tech era to the agricultural era, or even primitive society. The technological foundation is still there, but the human resources are gone, and large-scale factories cannot be set up at all.
Seeing Xiao Qiu carry the leather shoes into the bathroom and rinse them repeatedly in the bucket, Lin Dan couldn't help but sigh. She originally thought that Xiao Qiu's soul had been wiped out by the doctor, and only a body was left. But after spending a long time together, she slowly realized that Xiao Qiu's mind was always there. When the doctor needed her, she would come online immediately. When the doctor didn't need her, she was still herself. She just couldn't disobey that man's orders, everything else was normal.
Realizing this, Lin Dan was once again shocked by the doctor's abilities. It is easy to get rid of a person, but it is extremely difficult to control her thoughts without erasing her personal will. To use an analogy, when you want to destroy a computer, the most direct way is naturally to smash it with a hammer. However, when you want to fully control its operation, what you have to do is to break through its protection program, enter its background, and obtain its management permissions.
Lin Dan knew the difficulty of this without even thinking about it. In any case, she was indeed relieved to know that Xiao Qiu was still a person with thoughts and feelings. She took out four paper boxes from the room and chuckled, "Xiao Qiu, Nie Ting, Luo Yuheng, Xiao Yan, come out and receive your gifts."
"Why are there more gifts?" Luo Yuyan was the first to rush out of the room. She was wearing the green butterfly dress and was as beautiful as a little princess.
Seeing her dress, Lu Yun almost forgot that it was the end of the world.
Luo Yuheng ran out of the kitchen and said with a grin, "Do I get a gift too? That's great!" He originally lived in another neighborhood, then moved next door in the name of taking care of his sister, and then he took over the magpie's nest and refused to leave. Lin Dan's small building is more than 400 square meters, so he doesn't need a room.
Nie Ting walked into the hall and looked up at Lin Dan with a focused gaze.
Lin Dan threw the box to him and said briskly, "Catch it."
Nie Ting hugged the box and opened it, only to find that there were four pairs of leather boots inside. The workmanship was very delicate and the materials were very exquisite. The uppers should be tanned from the skin of some mutant beast, which is both shiny and strong; the soles are made of a gelatinous extract of some mutant plant poured into a mold and cast, which should be more wear-resistant than rubber soles; a thick layer of cashmere is sewn on the inside of the boot shaft. Winter is approaching, and it will definitely be warm to wear it.
The shoe factory had stopped production long ago, and the stocks in major stores had been cleared out by the survivors. On the black market, a pair of new shoes was sold at a sky-high price of several hundred high-grade crystal cores, but there was no suitable size available. Walking around the base, I saw that people on the streets were all wearing tattered old shoes. Some even made their own straw sandals or went barefoot.
Nie Ting looked at these brand new shoes, his heart was filled with warmth and he was speechless for a moment.
Luo Yuheng opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't say "thank you" for a long time.
Xiao Qiu and Luo Yuyan were much better at expressing themselves than the two grown men. At this moment, they were holding up their new shoes, singing and dancing, and saying sweet words like "Sister Lin, I love you, Sister Lin, I want to marry you". Looking at the two of them eagerly putting on their new shoes and jumping around in the hall, Lin Dan leaned over the railing and laughed softly.
Lu Yun would never admit that he was jealous of Xiao Qiu and Luo Yuyan. She couldn't help but think: If the doctor could be a couple with Dr. Lin, then Dr. Lin would be my mentor's wife! The master’s wife will definitely take good care of her husband’s disciples, right? Then I will have new clothes and new shoes to wear in the future? Oh my god, thinking about that scene makes me feel like I’m going to faint from happiness!
She looked at the Doctor with such eagerness that she nearly burned two holes in his back. Xiao Junlin suddenly turned around and glanced at her, his expression somewhat cold. However, no one noticed that the tips of his fair ears were now slightly red.
Lin Dan was still leaning on the railing, looking downstairs with a smile, "Is it appropriate?"
"It fits, it fits perfectly! It's so comfortable to wear!" Luo Yuyan jumped up and down while pulling up her skirt, as happy as a little sparrow. People in the end times have little clothes to wear and seem pitiful, but just a little bit of material satisfaction can make them feel a strong sense of happiness.
"It fits perfectly... Thank you, Lin Dan." Luo Yuheng wanted to say more than just this, but when he saw Nie Ting staring at him sinisterly, he had to stop.
"I'm going out to work." Nie Ting nodded slightly and left wearing his new shoes. His back looked very cold.
Lin Dan didn't care. He just held up his chin and looked at Xiao Qiu and Luo Yuyan who were still immersed in happiness with a smile on his face. The two ran around the house for a while, then ran out hand in hand, saying without looking back: "Sister Lin, let's go for a walk on the street and will be back soon!" Wouldn't it be boring to dress so beautifully if not let more people see them?
Lin Dan waved her hand, her voice full of smiles: "You must come back for dinner!"
"I know!" The two people's voices were a little vague, and it seemed that they had run far away.
Lu Yun worriedly asked, "Doctor Lin, they are dressed so beautifully, they won't be robbed, right?"
"It's okay, this is my private territory, no one will dare to touch my people." Lin Dan's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all, but there was an inexplicable domineering aura all over his body.
Lu Yun shut up immediately, but his admiration for Dr. Lin deepened. Treating patients, making medicine, weaving cloth, making shoes, tailoring clothes, participating in battles... Doctor Lin has so many skills, and they are all full points. It must be very happy to be her doctor, right? If the doctor continues to procrastinate, I might as well pursue Dr. Lin myself. Dr. Lin is so reliable and versatile, I want to marry him!
Just as she thought of this, Lu Yun saw the doctor slowly turn his head and look at her steadily. His eyes were like a scalpel, almost wanting to torture her to death.
"Bo, Doctor, are you leaving?" Lu Yun said in a trembling voice.
"Okay, I'll see you off then." Lin Dan didn't feel that the two of them were leaving in too much of a hurry. The doctor is a workaholic and a mysophobe, and he never stays outside for long. It was a miracle that he had managed to walk to the base with her.
Xiao Junlin stood there for a long time without moving, and every cell in his body emanated coldness. But no one could see any extra emotions on his cold face, and naturally no one could guess what he was thinking. Seeing that Lin Dan had reached the corner of the stairs and was looking up at him with a puzzled look, he finally took an elegant step and walked down slowly.
As he stepped out of the door, he said casually, "Lin Dan, come back to the institute with me."
Lin Dan was stunned for a while before he asked in confusion: "Why?"
"I need your care." Xiao Junlin looked at her with serious eyes.
"No, you don't need to. I have been away from you for a long time, but you are still alive and well. And I have my own home and friends outside. I prefer the outside world to that pale laboratory. Doctor, please don't force me." Lin Dan immediately put up a mental barrier to prevent the doctor from controlling his thoughts. She owed the doctor, but she would not repay him with her freedom.
This was the first time that Xiao Junlin was isolated by her mental power, and his face became extremely cold. His eyes flickered, as if he was struggling, but in the end he did nothing and turned away. In this world, he can easily wipe out anyone's soul, but he will never hurt Lin Dan. She is the most special and the most important...
His back looked very tall and his aura was very strong, but for some reason, Lin Dan could actually taste a hint of loneliness from him. She took two steps after him and said loudly, "Doctor, you are always welcome here."
Xiao Junlin walked straight ahead without stopping. Lin Dan stared at his back for a long time without moving.
After secretly watching the scene, Luo Yuheng jumped down from the wall and said thankfully, "Lin Dan didn't agree to the doctor." Nie Ting, who was squatting beside him weeding the vegetables and fruits, still didn't say a word, and didn't even have any extra expression, but his tense heartstrings quietly loosened. If Lin Dan really follows Dr. Xiao back, what should he do? This thought burned his heart like a burning coal...
After getting in the car, Xiao Junlin's straight back immediately collapsed. He held his forehead with one hand and tapped the cushion with the other, his tightly furrowed brows revealing his distress and confusion.
Lu Yun seemed to have realized something and comforted him, "Doctor, it's okay, let's keep trying and continue tomorrow!" Now, apart from pestering him, she didn't know what to do. The doctor's mysophobia is so severe that he cannot even lead a normal life. It will be difficult for him to find a wife in this life. Let me ask: Who is willing to help him disinfect this and that all day long? Who is willing to help him wash clothes dozens of times a day? Who is willing to accompany him wherever he goes and help him clean up? If there weren't robots in the institute that could share some of the cleaning and disinfection work, she and her colleagues would have been driven crazy by the doctor!
Thinking of this, Lu Yun sighed sadly, but then he heard the doctor slowly say, "Lin Dan is willing."
"Ah? Doctor, what are you talking about?" Lu Yun was stunned.
Xiao Junlin kept silent and looked out the window silently. Lin Dan is willing! She would do anything for him...
