Lin Tantan was fooled, but of course she was happy to continue improving the sheep pen.
The wall was raised because they were worried that the mutant sheep would be too powerful and climb over the wall, so they also built a roof. There were windows for ventilation and observation around the walls, and a large skylight in the center of the top. In this way, a sheep pen of dozens of square meters appeared, which was neater, sturdier and more beautiful than most houses in the shantytown.
It didn't take more than an hour.
The engineers were very happy. The people working on the construction site, those who came to share the mutton, and those who just came to join in the fun were all stunned. The news that Lin Tantan had a third superpower was now completely confirmed.
Some people are jealous, some are envious, and naturally many people have re-examined her as a person.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that her earth-based ability was stronger than that of the average earth-based ability user.
It's not just that her wood-type abilities surpass those of other wood-type abilities, but her earth-type abilities are also the same. I heard her gold-type abilities are also top-notch...
So in addition to being jealous and amazed at Lin Tantan as an individual, some people were also jealous of Ye Xiao's team's good luck. How did they discover such a piece of gold!
The more I think about it, the more unfair it feels. I’m so angry!
Lin Tantan didn't care what these people thought or how complicated their looks were. After satisfying his craving, he looked at the sheep pen he had made with satisfaction. He then watched the mutant sheep being driven into the sheep pen one by one, and felt particularly satisfied.
Hey, the sense of accomplishment from building a house is greater than saving someone.
Bai Cheng looked at the sheep pen and looked at Lin Tantan with surprise, but he quickly recovered and gave Lin Tantan a thumbs up with a smile.
Lin Tan smiled a little shyly.
The engineers asked her if she could participate in the land filling activity. Lin Tantan said yes, and then she went back to work.
Raising the overall height of 40 acres of land by three to five meters is a huge project. Excavators are digging soil nearby or on the hillside not far away, and trucks are transporting soil and rocks over one by one. Despite the non-stop work, only about one-third of the work has been completed so far.
Lin Tantan did not directly add soil to the ground. Using supernatural powers to directly generate soil would consume a lot of energy, but only using supernatural powers to loosen and cut the original soil to achieve the effect of digging the soil would require much less energy.
So she started helping the excavator dig the soil.
There were only three excavators, and even with buckets modified with gold-type abilities, the excavation efficiency was limited. Lin Tantan loosened the soil and made it as easy to shovel as sand. The people hired to work on the construction site came to shovel and transport the soil manually, and then those who had eaten mutton also came to help.
The speed of filling the land has increased visibly, and the working atmosphere is particularly good.
Bai Cheng had mixed feelings. He had always been more concerned about interests, and everything he did was based on maximizing profits. However, Lin Tantan seemed to be a completely different person. She happily did this and that, and even did business at a loss. It seemed that she had gained nothing, but she could shock and move many people and make things more humane.
He smiled and asked the men to continue slaughtering the sheep, saying that to eat a piece of mutton, one had to work for an hour, and this deal was only valid this afternoon.
People who regretted not getting the mutton because they came late soon lined up again.
Of the dozen or so sheep that had just been driven back to the sheepfold, not a single one was left.
When Ye Xiao and the others came back in several large and small trucks carrying mutant sheep, they found that their own land was crowded with people. Everyone was working hard and sweating with high morale. In addition, the smell of mutton was wafting everywhere, and the fragrance could be smelled for ten miles.
What happened during the hours he was away?
After keeping a close eye on this place for several hours, he found that none of the people who ate mutton had any problems - oh, there were still some people who had stomachaches and diarrhea, but that was because they were too weak and had not eaten meat for a long time, and suddenly ate a lot of meat, which caused the problem. It had nothing to do with the mutton itself - so he looked at the newly arrived trucks of sheep with greedy eyes and discussed the matter of buying sheep with Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng did not agree, but just said that he would talk about it tomorrow. If those who ate the mutton were still fine tomorrow, people would truly believe that mutton was edible, and it would be easier for him to raise the price.
Finally, all these mutant sheep were put into the sheep pen.
In addition to the mutant sheep, there are some other animals, such as two mutant pigs and some chickens that have grown four or five times in size. It is speculated that these were originally chickens from a nearby farm. They mutated after the apocalypse and ran to the mountains to roam freely. Due to lack of food and inability to compete with other animals, they frequently go out of the mountains to find food.
Ye Xiao said that if he looked towards the mountainside tomorrow, he should be able to find a large flock of chickens.
Lin Tantan looked at the chickens that were tied up tightly but still lively, and said, "Can they be raised?" Only by raising them can there be a constant supply of chicken to eat. By the way, they can lay eggs, right?
Ye Xiao said he could give it a try. He looked at her with a look of disapproval: "How did you get yourself into this state?" There was still a clump of dirt in her hair, and he reached out to remove it.
Lin Tan Tan chuckled and said, "It's just labor!" She knew that her image wasn't very good right now. Even though she was just using her superpowers, it was tiring after using them for a long time. She was sweating profusely. "I want to go back now. Do you want to leave?"
It will be enough to have a group of engineers at the construction site. Some people will be arranged to guard the mutant animals and keep watch at night. Xu Qin and Xu Li, the two people who have not left the base, will stay here for a while, and the others will go back to the villa first.
As soon as Lin Tantan went upstairs, she took off her clothes and took a shower. There was no shortage of water in the villa, so she didn't use her own water. The warm water from the shower head rushed directly down over her head, and she closed her eyes in comfort and enjoyment.
It would be nice to have a bathtub for a hot tub, or maybe a big tub.
Under the hot steam in the shower room, I felt a little drowsy. Well, I messed up. I used my earth-based abilities a little too much in the afternoon. Now I feel very tired, and my right hand is shaking.
She put on her clothes with some difficulty, yawned, and crawled into the quilt, but not long after, Ye Xiao knocked on the door: "Let's talk, it's time for dinner."
She still has to eat, she is very hungry now.
Lin Tantan got out of bed and opened the door, rubbing his eyes. "Is there any mutton?"
She was still wearing the same goose yellow teddy bear pajamas, her hair was not completely dry, her eyelids were drooping and she was so sleepy that she seemed unable to open her eyes. Her fair skin was still a little red from having just taken a bath, and she looked particularly childish.
Ye Xiao was unable to utter a word for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he calmed down and said, "Yes, it's the chef's cooking. Do you smell the fragrance?"
Lin Tantan sniffed and indeed smelled the aroma of roasted lamb, the kind sprinkled with cumin, so fragrant that it made his mouth water.
She cheered up: "Let's go eat!"
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Walk slowly." The stairs were not very wide. Ye Xiao walked beside Lin Tan, and their arms touched slightly.
When he turned his head, he could see a furry head, a delicate and tender face, a slender white neck, and a faint fragrance coming from his nose. It was the scent of the same brand of shower gel as his, which Bai Cheng released uniformly. But because it came from her body, it was contaminated with her body breath and mixed into a unique girlish fragrance.
Ye Xiao's eyes were somewhat deep, but when he saw her childish look with only mutton in her mind and eyes, he couldn't help but laugh.
Still a little girl.
The slightest ripple of thought that emerged in his heart seemed particularly inappropriate and somewhat despicable.
Ye Xiao sighed deeply in his heart.
The mutton was indeed made by a master chef, roasted until it was shiny and fragrant. The whole leg of lamb made people want to just hold it and chew on it.
There are also mutant chickens, which are also processed very well and made into delicious chicken soup.
Seeing her staring at the two dishes, the chef, who didn't usually come, said with a smile, "Miss Lin, try them and see if they suit your taste."
Lin Tan Tan glanced at him. This was the chef who cooked for them in Yang City. The chubby chef was now only half as thin as before, and there was more flattery in his smile, but it was not offensive.
He looked at Lin Tan Tan expectantly, hoping that Lin Tan Tan would be satisfied with his craftsmanship and keep him.
These people didn't seem to like having outsiders in their residence, so they didn't often call him over. But when they didn't call him, he could only make a living on his own. He was just an ordinary cook, so how much ability could he have? That's why he was so thin. If he could be hired by them for a long time, then his life would be settled.
He knew these soldiers weren't big on food, but if he could get Lin Tantan to ask him to stay, then he'd probably be able to. Even if he wasn't allowed to stay, as long as she was satisfied, it would be good to look for him more often in the future. There would probably be more and more mutated ingredients in the future, and the texture of mutated ingredients was different from the original meat, making it difficult for ordinary people to handle it. He still had hope.
He thought so and wanted to diligently cut the mutton for her, but it was not his turn. Ye Xiao picked up the knife and cut the meat for Lin Tan first. Two pieces of fragrant and crispy mutton fell into Lin Tan's plate. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Then he picked up the chopsticks to pick it up, but missed and one of the chopsticks fell down.
Lin Tantan was stunned, and Ye Xiao's face darkened. "What's wrong?" He put down the knife and went to hold her hand. Lin Tantan said quickly, "Oh, it's okay, it's just that my hand is a little weak."
Ye Xiao didn't listen to her. He insisted on taking a closer look at her hand and even pulled up her sleeve to take a look, which made Lin Tan Tan a little embarrassed. Only after he was sure that there was no external injury did he feel relieved. He frowned and asked, "Is it that the injury from Zhou Li hasn't healed yet?"
"Well, that's part of the reason." She tried to pick up the chopsticks again. It was fine when there was nothing in her hands, but as soon as she grabbed something and used force, her hands began to shake. Shaking would have been fine, but she had no strength in her body, so she shook particularly miserably, especially when she wanted to pick up something, she shook as if she was terminally ill.
She put down her chopsticks awkwardly.
Ye Xiao's face was very dark: "Didn't you say it was okay?"
"I'm really okay, I'm just a little tired in the afternoon, a little weak..." Lin Tantan wanted to make amends for herself, but under Ye Xiao's gaze, she spoke softer and softer, and finally could not be heard.
Lin Tan Tan lowered his head, looking guilty after doing something wrong. Ye Xiao looked like a storm was about to break out. The chef next to him hesitated to speak. The others also noticed what was happening and gathered around: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Everyone can see that Lin Tantan trusts and is closest to Ye Xiao the most, and Ye Xiao protects her the most closely. No one can compare to him, not even Mei Baisheng, whose life was saved by Lin Tantan, nor the most attentive and considerate Bai Cheng. But what is going on now?
Ye Xiao seemed to be really angry.
Bai Cheng had been in the living room just now and vaguely heard a few words, but he didn't pay much attention until he realized something was wrong. Now, looking at the untouched mutton and the chopsticks thrown on the table, he roughly connected the dots and said, "Is the dish not to your taste? Let's ask Chef Chen to make it again. Let's talk about it. Let's eat something else first."
He pulled Lin Tantan up from the chair, and Jiang Xiaotian immediately said, "Yes, I have a lot of delicious food. Come over here, I'll share it with you."
Lin Tantan glanced secretly at Ye Xiao and saw that his face was still dark. He was startled and decisively climbed down the ladder to get food with Jiang Xiaotian.
Jiang Xiaotian rummaged under the coffee table like he was digging for treasure, and found a pack of biscuits: "Yes, this is good, milk biscuits, delicious and healthy, try it."
Lin Tantan took it, and the biscuit was quite heavy, and her hands began to shake uncontrollably again. Jiang Xiaotian and others were stunned. Her first subconscious reaction was to look at Ye Xiao again, and his face became even darker and more ugly.
"I'll go upstairs first." She decisively slipped away and ran upstairs in a few steps, like a little white rabbit with a big bad wolf chasing it, and almost tripped.
Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat when she was about to fall. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and didn't really fall. She disappeared on the second floor in the blink of an eye. He was both angry and amused.
Lin Tan Tan left, and everyone looked at Ye Xiao. Bai Cheng said with a smile, "You're scolding your daughter. Don't you know how scary it is to put on a stern face? When you were an instructor back then, I don't know how many new recruits you scared to tears. Now, you're scaring them away. What's going on?"
Ye Xiao pinched his forehead, feeling headache and helpless, but did not answer Bai Cheng's words: "Don't worry about us, you guys eat first." Then he took out several large and small bowls from the kitchen, picked up the chopsticks that Lin Tantan put down, put some of the dishes on the table into the bowl, shaved a full bowl of mutton, and got a bowl of rice, put them on a tray and brought it upstairs.
Several people watched his actions, and after he left, they looked at each other in confusion. Bai Cheng said, "Forget it, let them handle their own affairs."
Everyone started laughing, except Mei Baisheng and Xu Li, who were a little confused. What were they laughing at? The boss/captain was really angry. It seemed that the two of them really had a conflict. Was it really okay to just ignore it?
Xu Qin rolled her eyes at them and said, "Eat, you two little idiots."
…
Upstairs, Ye Xiao came to Lin Tantan's door with a tray of food. He calmed down and knocked on the door: "Tantan, I brought the food in."
There was no sound or response from inside. Ye Xiao sighed: "It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." No, he wasn't angry yet, and he wouldn't be angry with her. He was just a little angry. Who knew she would be so scared.
Now, could it be that she is angry with him?
Ye Xiao was a little unsure. He couldn't guess what a girl was thinking, not to mention that Lin Tantan's thoughts were even more difficult to infer using common sense.
There was no response from inside, and he felt uneasy. He tried to turn the doorknob, but it was not locked.
Ye Xiao pushed open the door but did not go in. There was a bathroom in the master bedroom, and the view of the door was mostly blocked by the bathroom. However, because Lin Tantan moved the bed very close to the balcony door, standing at the door he could still see most of the bed, as well as the girl who was sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed and her back to the door.
At this moment, she was hugging her legs with her head down, and her whole back exuded a lonely and pitiful aura, with her shoulders shaking slightly. Ye Xiao's heart tightened, and he didn't care about being polite anymore, and walked in directly.
Did he cry? No way? He didn't say anything!
However, he had scared many people to tears in the past without saying anything.
Was his expression that scary just now?
Ye Xiao was feeling annoyed, regretful, anxious and distressed at the moment. However, when he walked closer and saw clearly what Lin Tantan was doing, he froze in place.
Lin Tantan was indeed sitting with his legs bent, but there was a mobile phone on his knees. His left arm, which had not yet recovered, was blocking the outside of the phone, carefully preventing it from falling. His half-crippled and trembling right hand stretched out its index finger, poking at the screen, placing all kinds of strange weapons such as bows, arrows and artillery shells to fight the monsters that kept running out on the winding road, and to protect the red carrot at the end.
It's just that because of her shaking hands, her operation was not very smooth, so she was completely focused with her brows furrowed and completely immersed in it.
Ye Xiao: “…”
Finally, she put down an electric fan, and the blades kept spinning out to kill the monsters. She seemed to be relieved, touched the biscuits beside her, grabbed a few and stuffed them into her mouth, shaking them as she stuffed them and letting them fall out.
It can be said to be extremely miserable.
It's so tragic and inspiring, it's a story of a person with a strong will despite being disabled.
Ye Xiao sneered.
The dangerous atmosphere finally brought Lin Tantan back to his senses from the tense and exciting world of the game. Turning around, he saw Ye Xiao standing upright beside the bed with a terrifying smile, and he almost choked to death on the biscuit in his mouth.
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Lin Tantan coughed and pulled out the earphones from his ears, looking horrified. "You, cough cough, how did you get in?"
Ye Xiao put the tray on the table at the side, then dragged the table over: "What do you think?"
He was so angry that he laughed.
He was worried about her injuries and asked her to go back to the villa to rest, but she refused and immersed herself in glorious labor for the whole afternoon, making her injuries even worse.
Now I play games.
It seemed that her fear of him was fake, and her guilty conscience was also fake. She didn't take it to heart at all, and turned around to play the game with such concentration and fascination.
Ye Xiao stretched out his hand.
Lin Tantan looked at the slender, broad hand, glanced at his expression, and picked up the phone that had fallen at his feet due to his violent coughing. However, he remembered something halfway through and pushed the phone over with his foot.
His right hand was hidden behind his back.
I wish this hand didn't exist at all.
Ye Xiao: “…”
Ye Xiao bent down to pick up his phone, but didn't put it in his pocket. He pulled the table to the bedside and laid out the food: "Let's eat."
Lin Tan Tan whispered, "Uh, thank you. I'll eat right away."
But her eyes were looking at Ye Xiao, waiting for him to leave, but Ye Xiao had no intention of leaving. He pulled the only chair in the room and sat down, as if he was going to watch her eat.
Oh, Ye Xiao has changed. Her idol is not like this anymore!
Lin Tan Tan groaned inwardly, but he also knew that he had completely annoyed him time and again, and there was no room for bargaining.
She moved closer to the bed, and Ye Xiao's eyes swept over her bare feet. Lin Tan subconsciously retracted her feet, as if she was worried that his gaze would cut her feet, and she felt particularly insecure.
She glanced at him again, then obediently stretched out her precious right hand from behind her back, picked up the chopsticks and started eating rice. She wanted to pick up a dish, but her fingers were not strong enough, so in order to avoid making a fool of herself again, she had to lower her head and keep eating rice.
The rice was a bit sticky, and the bowl would move with it when she was eating, so she would use her left arm to hold it in place. When the bowl moved too far and became inconvenient to eat from, she would use her left arm to poke it back to its original position.
Ye Xiao looked at her left arm hidden in her sleeve, and his heart suddenly ached.
He suddenly stood up and took the chopsticks from her hand. Lin Tantan looked up in surprise. He stared at her quietly and reached out to remove a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth.
Lin Tan's face flushed, and he quickly wiped his face and swallowed the food in his mouth: "That, that..."
She couldn't say anything for a moment, but Ye Xiao scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and put it to her mouth.
"Ah?" Lin Tantan exclaimed subconsciously in surprise. As soon as she opened her mouth, a mouthful of chicken soup was fed into it. She swallowed it subconsciously, and then saw Ye Xiao put down the spoon, but used chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of rice and feed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."
He, he wants to feed her? !
Lin Tantan finally reacted and his face turned red instantly.
