MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 103
When the woman heard Lin Ling's voice, she picked up a handful of weeds and ran away.
Lin Ling looked dissatisfied at this piece of wild grass that was about to be bald. This time, she didn't let the woman run away, but directly chased after her.
"Don't run!"
The woman's feet were so frightened that she almost fell down. She stood up and continued to run, lest she would be caught.
But Lin Ling was followed by Brother Chou, who quickly stopped the woman.
"Where are you going?" Lin Ling looked dissatisfied at the woman who stole the weeds, and stepped closer to the woman.
The woman backed away in fright, but Xia Mo and Brother Chou stopped behind her, and she had no way to retreat.
"I'm afraid it's too late now?" Lin Ling looked at the woman with a cold face, "I remember I told you that I planted the plants here."
The woman nodded.
Lin Ling said in a cold voice: "I didn't hold you accountable for the few times you came here before, but you have plucked up this piece of land over and over again, which is too much."
Lin Ling thought about his piece of wild grass that was about to be bald, so he didn't get angry, "You can just squeeze a little bit, but what's the point of staring at a piece of land?"
The woman looked at the piece of grass that she had pulled out, and she was so guilty that she didn't dare to look up, and said sorry apologetically.
"What's the use of saying sorry." Lin Ling said in a deep voice, "leave me immediately, if I see you again, I will let the dog bite you."
Brother Chou whimpered, showing his sharp teeth.
"I..." The woman stared at Lin Ling who was dressed neatly, hesitated to speak, wanted to speak but dared not.
Lin Ling frowned: "What? Do you want to be bitten?"
The woman shook her head subconsciously.
Lin Ling said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to be bitten, leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
"I... I don't know where to go." The woman mustered up her courage, "Can I stay outside, I promise I won't disturb you."
"Stay outside?" Lin Ling sneered, "The land outside is mine, where do you want to stay?"
The woman didn't seem to expect this result, "It's all yours?"
"Yes, this area is mine for ten miles." Lin Ling looked at the woman with his hands in his hands, and thought of the caveman Duan Hu mentioned a few days ago, "Are you a caveman?"
The woman's eyes were full of horror, as if she didn't expect Lin Ling to guess her identity.
"Now that the apocalypse is over, you can go to the safe zone and let the safe zone arrange a new life for you." Lin Ling planned to report and leave.
The woman shook her head, "I don't want to go to the safe zone."
Lin Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, "There is food in the safe zone."
The woman seemed to be very resistant to going to the safe zone, and would rather starve to death than go. She looked at the darkening sky and begged: "Please don't send me to the safe zone, I will leave here tomorrow."
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, you think I will believe your words." Lin Ling pointed to the only way to leave this land, "Leave now."
The woman stammered and said yes, "I'm leaving now."
Lin Ling didn't speak, just looked at the woman quietly, intending to guard her until she left.
The woman looked worriedly at the direction of a barren mountain next to her, and hesitated to speak.
Lin Ling frowned: "What? You don't want to leave?"
"No." The woman lowered her head guiltily, "I have some things over there, just leave when I get them, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Ling followed the woman, in case she made any small moves.
When the woman turned over the hillside and walked towards a dilapidated stone wall, Lin Ling heard a little girl's surprised voice before they approached, "Mom, have you found something to eat? My stomach is rumbling called…"
The next moment, Lin Ling saw a child running out from behind the stone wall. After running two steps toward the woman, he saw Lin Ling. The child was startled by the sudden appearance of a stranger, and his face was full of panic, "Mom ..."
"Don't be afraid." The woman protected the little girl behind her.
The little girl leaned against the woman's arms, shouting tremblingly: "Mom..."
"It's okay." The woman rubbed her little daughter's head, "Come on, let's pack up our things and leave here in a while."
The little girl was a little dazed: "Are we not staying here?"
The woman comforted the little girl softly, "We are going to a new place."
"A new place?" The little girl didn't understand why they had just found a place full of trees, and why they had to leave again. "Mom, will we still be hungry after going to a new place?"
The little girl asked again: "Will there be trees in the new place? Will there be endless weeds?"
The woman dared not tell her daughter the truth, she just hugged her daughter, "We will find out."
The little girl seemed to understand what it meant, "Can't we stay here? It's very nice here, with lots and lots of trees."
The woman wiped her wet eyes, "No...we can't stay here..."
The little girl's voice was soft and waxy: "Why?"
…
Looking at the little girl and her mother, Xia Mo couldn't help thinking of him and her mother. They were stared at by everyone every day, and they were hungry every day. They were as pitiful as this mother and daughter.
At the end of Xia, he wanted to beg Lin Ling, but he opened his mouth and held back. His sister was very kind to him, and he couldn't be self-willed, and couldn't impose his own ideas on his sister, and couldn't cause trouble for her.
Lin Ling listened silently to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and pursed her lips as she watched the mother and daughter go behind the stone wall to pack their things. They didn't have many things and packed them up quickly.
The woman carried a big backpack and walked out leading the little girl. When she passed Lin Ling, she apologized again, "I'm sorry for pulling up so many weeds."
The little girl looked at Lin Ling blankly, and then looked back reluctantly at the small place where she had lived for several days. Are they going to move again? "Mother…"
The woman looked back at the woman: "What's the matter? Do you want your mother to hug you?"
The little girl shook her head and said sensiblely: "Mom is tired, I can walk by myself."
Looking at the sensible daughter, the melancholy in the woman's heart dissipated a lot, "Lizi is so good."
The little girl named Lizi trotted a few steps to keep up with the woman, "Mom, where are we going?"
The woman said softly, "How about going to a big city?"
Lizi tilted her head, her face full of doubts: "Mom, we only came from a big city."
The woman hummed: "Let's go and have a look."
The woman spoke very softly, and it can be seen that she is a good mother. Even in the last days, she did not lose some love to her children. Mother's love is really great.
Lin Ling felt very uncomfortable. Looking at the mother and daughter walking away slowly, she sighed and said loudly, "Wait a minute."
The woman turned her head, protected her daughter, and looked at Lin Ling nervously, "What else do you want to do?"
Lin Ling pursed her lips, "What kind of power are you?"
The woman shook her head, "I don't have supernatural powers."
Lin Ling asked hesitantly, "Then do you know how to work? Do you know how to farm?"
The woman nodded and said yes, "I used to help with logistics at the base, and turned over the land to grow vegetables."
Lin Ling nodded: "It's desolate outside here, and I need someone to help me plow the land and plant trees. Would you like to stay and help me with the work?"
It sounded very exciting, but the woman still hesitated and asked, "Is that all?"
Lin Ling said: "Of course not only, but also help me plant the land and crops."
The woman can't believe it's some drudgery: "Is there anything else?"
Lin Ling frowned, and asked back, "What can I, a woman, do to you?"
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Ling said again: "If you don't want to, forget it."
"willing."
"I am willing." The woman said quickly, "Thank you."
"Don't rush to say thank you." Lin Ling interrupted the other party with a very cold tone: "If you can't do your job well, I will drive you away again."
"I know, I will definitely work hard." The woman bowed to Lin Ling again, thanked her again, and said various words of assurance in a grateful and moral way.
The little girl also looked at Lin Ling gratefully, "Thank you big sister."
Lin Ling looked at Lizi, who was probably only five or six years old. She was small, dark and thin, and her clothes were ragged and dirty, but her hair was neatly combed, and there were two small braids tied with plastic. The cherry headdress looks pretty cute.
Lin Ling retracted his eyes, pointed at the collapsed and empty stone house, and said to Xia Mo: "Go and help repair the house wall."
At the end of Xia, he went to help repair the courtyard wall. Lin Ling turned to the woman and asked, "Which city did you come from?"
The woman thought for a while and replied, "W City."
Lin Ling calculated the distance in his head, "It's been more than a month?"
The woman nodded.
Lin Ling looked at the worn-out shoes on the woman's feet, "Why don't you want to go to the safe zone?"
The woman seems to have something hard to say, "I don't like it, I don't want to go."
"Okay." Lin Ling didn't ask, "What's your name?"
The woman replied: "Xu Yao."
"My daughter's name is Xu Li, and her nickname is Lizi."
When Lizi heard her mother introduce herself, she opened her hand, "Big sister, I am five years old."
Lin Ling smiled at the little girl, took out a few fried peanuts from the bag of her jacket and handed them to her, "Here you are."
Li Zi had never eaten peanuts, so she didn't know what it was, she turned her head to look at Xu Yao: "Mom?"
"This is a peanut, it's edible." Xu Yao said to Lizi.
Hearing that it was edible, Lizi's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the peanut: "Thank you, big sister."
"You're welcome." Looking at the other side, Xia Mo had erected the walls of the house, and made a fence. Although there was no door or roof, it already looked like a courtyard.
Lin Ling said to Xu Yao: "The house is built for you. After a few days, you can find the roof and the door, and then you can build it again. Now you can make do with it."
Along the way, Xu Yao has lived in all kinds of broken houses, and this kind of house is considered excellent, "Thank you, I will definitely repay you well."
Lin Ling didn't have such good intentions, she just wanted to plant this piece of land as soon as possible, "Just work hard."
Xu Yao repeatedly assured: "I will."
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Lin Ling didn't stay outside the fence any longer, "It's getting late, I'll come and see you tomorrow."
Xu Yao said hello.
Lin Ling took Xia Mo and Brother Chou back to the fence.
Xia Mo: "Sister, why did you suddenly think of keeping them?"
Lin Ling looked at Xia Mo with a half-smile: "Don't you want me to keep them?"
Xia Mo looked in disbelief: "Sister, how do you know? I didn't say anything."
Lin Ling wouldn't say that the child was too obvious, "What don't I know?"
"Sister, you are really amazing, you know everything." Xia Mo was very emotional, "It's as powerful as the blind eyes in TV dramas."
Xiaolu digs a hole for Xia Mo: Does he want to say you are blind? beat him!
Xia Mo hastily explained: "I don't."
Xiaolu made a grimace: No wonder!
The author has something to say: tell you a horror story,
Today is the last day of New Year's Day.
