MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 28
Rome wasn't built in a day, and the walls of the village couldn't be built in three or two days. Lin Ling couldn't help with building the walls, so he left it to Xia Mo.
Building the fence was very tiring. At the end of summer, the power was exhausted every day, and he was so tired that he was pale. But when he thought of the task that Lin Ling had given him, he gritted his teeth and continued to work. He could build a fence about 3 kilometers long in a day.
Estimated at this speed, it will take about a month to complete the construction of the village and the surrounding land.
"Don't be in such a hurry, just rest when you're tired, there's no need to hurry." The construction of the fence is not as urgent as digging the canal, and the workload is also greater. Lin Ling didn't want his only helper to be exhausted.
Xia Mo shook his head, he could level up by using more abilities and practicing more, so he insisted on working every day, and when he thought of building a safe fortress, he would be able to live safely for a long time, so he was full of energy.
Lin Ling didn't try to persuade him anymore, he just said that he should not overdraw his body.
In addition, in order to restore physical strength as soon as possible in the late summer and build the fence without worry, Lin Ling was a little more generous in the food. He picked a Chinese cabbage every other day, cut it into fine pieces, and then fried it with the previous one. The meat is mixed together and fried, the color is emerald green, white and tender, and the combination of meat and vegetables is simple and nutritious.
Then in the evening, there will be half an hour of cartoons to let the end of summer relax.
Xia Mo likes this way of relaxation very much. Every day after dark, after eating and washing up, he, Xiaolu and Brother Gou sit side by side on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Lin Ling to play cartoons.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a few harmonious and friendly people sitting on the sofa waiting to watch TV at the end of Xia. Lin Ling remembered that before the end of the world, basically every household would sit on the sofa and watch TV together after dinner. They may not speak to each other, or they may both be looking at their mobile phones, but the atmosphere is warm and harmonious.
After the apocalypse, everyone sat together with their own ghosts. It is rare to have such a warm and harmonious scene. Lin Ling is a little thankful that the kindness deep in his heart has not been completely wiped out, otherwise he would have missed this little warmth.
After the evening leisure and entertainment activities, everyone went to rest separately and continued to work the next day.
At the end of summer, the wall continued to be built, and Lin Ling watered and planted the fields. When he had free time, he rode a tricycle to the last village to carry wood.
Little Green walked together, sitting on the handle of the tricycle, the wind was blowing its two leaves, making it very excited: go faster, go faster!
"You can't go any faster, the wind will blow you away later." Lin Ling rode carefully around the stones and abandoned vehicles on the road, and rode a little faster when she reached the open space.
Little Green shook the leaves happily: It's so cool.
Lin Ling laughed, "It's quite cool at night."
Little Green shivered a bit, it was quite cool at night, it was so cold that its leaves were covered with frost.
Lin Ling looked at the ramp below, "Sit still."
Xiaolu looked at the ramp and stood up excitedly: Go!
All the way downhill, I walked very fast, and I arrived at the village I visited last time in less than two hours. Because it was still early, Lin Ling dug some grass roots that were not rotten. After digging half a load of grass roots, she went to the place where the TV was moved last time, and moved the remaining discs. This time I wanted to move it too, but the tricycle couldn't fit it.
After loading the disc onto the tricycle, Lin Ling went to the place where the wood was kept. The wood was all dried and placed in the house. Because it was not hit by wind and rain, it did not rot.
Lin Ling counted, and found that there were twenty-six pieces of wood in total, each of which was very even and even in thickness, which was very suitable for making doors.
At present, Lin Ling asked Xia Mo to temporarily surround the village and the area where the saplings were planted, and leave a gate on each side of the north and south sides. The wood was just enough to move back.
A piece of wood is five meters long and weighs more than 100 kilograms even if it is dried. Lin Ling does not have a big trailer, so he can only hang it in the air and tie it to the frame above the tricycle, and then carry it home.
The wheels of the tricycle are not big enough, and the load-bearing capacity is also weak. Only three of them can be tied to it at a time. After being tied, the tires of the tricycle sank a lot, and they made creaking noises when they were pushed.
Xiaolu listened to the creaking movement, and the two leaves stood up in fright: Is it going to break?
"Don't be crowed." Lin Ling glanced at Xiaolu who was sitting on the wood with dissatisfaction, "We are leaving, go down and pull the cart."
Xiaolu doesn't want to go, she's so tired of pulling the cart.
Lin Ling curled her lips into a smile: "If you don't pull the cart, I won't turn on the TV tonight."
In the past two days, Xiaolu has been addicted to cartoons, so it is easy for Lin Ling to hold her back: I will go, I will go.
In fact, even if Xiaolu didn't help, Lin Ling would put on the TV for a while to reward Xia Mo, but Xiaolu's mind hadn't turned around at the moment, and she didn't bother to remind Xiaolu, and directly urged Xiaolu: "Hurry up and help!"
But Xiaolu didn't realize this at all. He jumped off the tricycle and pulled the vines forward. Don't look at Xiaolu as just a green vine, but when he really does the work, his strength is stronger than Lin Ling's. .
With Xiaolu's help, Lin Ling rolled up his sleeves and pushed behind the tricycle, cooperating with each other, and the wheels of the tricycle slowly turned, making a gurgling sound.
Lin Ling and Xiaolu struggled to push the tricycle, and it took about two hours to reach the asphalt road outside.
After reaching the asphalt road, the road surface was flat and wide, and it became easier for Lin Ling to push the cart. It is only occasionally that I need to stop to clean up the road when I pass by an obstacle. After removing the stones and abandoned vehicles on the road, I continue to move forward.
Because the two places are quite far apart, even if there is no delay on the road, it will take at least half a day to go back and forth.
And Lin Ling was unwilling to make the trip in vain, and wanted to dig up some living weed roots to plant back, so the delay was longer, and he didn't get home until dark.
At the moment Xia Mo was sitting at the door waiting for her, seeing her come back, the child breathed a sigh of relief, got up and greeted her, "You're back."
Lin Ling hummed and wiped the sweat from her brow, "Why do you sit at the door?"
Xia Mo lowered his eyes awkwardly, "I'm sitting here to rest."
It was too dark, Lin Ling didn't notice the worry hidden in Xia Mo's eyes, "Go in and rest."
Xia Mo hummed, he looked at the tricycle behind Lin Ling, and then at the open space outside, "No more wood?"
"Yes, I unloaded all the wood at the place where the gate is going to be installed." Lin Ling pushed the tricycle to the yard, "Is everything going well today?"
Xia Mo nodded and said it went well, "I built another 3,000-meter-long wall today."
Lin Ling glanced at Xia Mo's pale face, "No rest?"
Xia Mo lowered her eyes guiltily, and said softly, "Take a break."
Lin Ling is not stupid, and he still doesn't know that the child is lying, "Take it easy."
Xia Mo hummed, and followed Lin Ling's footsteps, "After I finished building the wall, I don't seem to be as tired as before, and I can work longer."
Lin Ling was slightly surprised: "Really? Is it an upgrade?"
Xia Mo nodded.
"Very good." Lin Ling originally had no hope of upgrading at the end of summer. In the end of the world, supernatural beings rely on the crystal cores of zombies to quickly upgrade, but now that the zombies are gone, it is impossible to use crystal cores to upgrade. Everyone He could only rely on accumulated training to upgrade, but he didn't expect Xia Mo's physical fitness and abilities to be upgraded in less than a month, which should be related to him pushing himself to the extreme every day.
Although this upgrade is negligible for the strong, it is a great improvement for the weak Xia Mo.
So Lin Lingduo praised Mo Xia a few words: "You can improve so quickly without a crystal nucleus. It seems that you are very talented. Keep working hard, and your earth ability will be used better."
"Yeah!" Mo Xia nodded heavily, "I'll turn over the ground even faster."
Looking at Xia Mo's actions, Lin Ling felt that he was like a child who had scored 100 points in the exam, and happily took the exam paper home to show to the parents, with a bit of joy and flattery in his tone, as well as a little pride.
After being praised by the parents, the joy in the child's heart doubles. In order to get more praise, he will work harder.
Lin Ling pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her hand to rub Xia Mo's head, but seeing the hat he wore every day, she finally landed her hand on his shoulder, patted him lightly, and said softly : "Keep going!"
Looking at Lin Ling's gentle smile, Xia Mo didn't avoid her approach, but greeted her happily.
While the two were talking, Brother Chou had already checked the contents of the tricycle, and even found the disc under the root of the grass.
Brother Chou barked at the disc: There are a lot of discs, do you want to watch these discs tonight?
Xiaolu has become addicted to watching TV recently: If you want to watch it, Brother Chou will use power to watch TV now.
Since there are leisure and entertainment activities in the evening, in order to be able to watch cartoons on time, Little Green doesn't reject Xia Mo and Brother Chou anymore. After all, without Brother Chou, it can't watch cartoons.
"Are you not tired? Are you not hungry?" Lin Ling was tired all day, and was already hungry. He took out potatoes from the cabinet and boiled them. Each of them held a potato to fill his stomach before talking.
After eating the potatoes, Brother Chou looked at Lin Ling and barked, meaning is it going to generate electricity now?
"Go." Lin Ling watched the ugly brother skillfully take out the power strip and plug, thinking that not only Xiaolu was addicted to watching, but also the mature ugly brother.
But Lin Ling is an open-minded parent, and she won't stop them from watching TV, after all, she wants to watch it too!
Lin Ling asked, "What are you watching tonight?"
Little Green rushed to say: It depends on the windmill.
Lin Ling glanced at the newly brought back disc. There were many movies and TV series in it: "What's there to watch? Let's look at other ones."
Xiaolu ran over to stop Lin Ling to get other discs: just look at the windmill.
Lin Ling pushed Xiaolu away: "Only you want to see it, we don't want to see it."
Xiaolu: We all have to watch it.
Lin Ling asked, "Really? Who are there?"
Xiaolu pointed to herself, then to Brother Chou and Xia Mo: We.
Lin Ling asked, "How many of you are there?"
Xiaolu couldn't count, so she pointed to Xia Mo and Brother Chou: We.
"Can't count? Illiterate little green." Lin Ling turned to Xia Mo and Brother Chou: "Do you want to continue watching cat and mouse?"
Xia Mo nodded, then shook her head quickly.
Shaking and nodding? Lin Ling frowned: "Do you want to watch it or not?"
Xia Mo actually wanted to watch cat and mouse, but was afraid of offending Lin Ling by telling the truth, "Anything is fine."
"Anything is fine?" Lin Ling raised her eyebrows, "That means I want to continue watching this cartoon."
"Okay, you guys keep watching, and we'll watch the other ones after we finish this one." Lin Ling glanced at the number of episodes printed on the disc, it was 150 episodes, and she watched five episodes a day for a month.
Lin Ling sighed silently, then hid the more than one hundred episodes of cartoon discs in the corner, and put the movie she wanted to watch in the most prominent position.
Lin Ling, who was secretly thinking carefully, hid the disc, sat on the sofa and watched cartoons with Xia Mo and the others, smiled, and felt much more relaxed.
The mood is better, the body is more relaxed, and the sleep is better. The next day, I wake up with a hundred times more energy, and I get up and continue to work.
In the next few days, Lin Ling and Xia Mo continued to divide their work.
It took Lin Ling eight days to finally move all the wood back. At the same time, because he brought back a lot of tree roots and grass roots every day, the desolate and scorched hills around the village also added a bit of life.
After another half a month, all the walls were built in late summer, and after the wooden doors were installed, the family ran out of food.
