Chapter 8: The Emergence of Abilities
Lin Ruan didn't say much politely to Aunt Zhou, if she was alone, she could make do with anything. But Lin Han and Xiuxiu are still young, and if they stay outside for one night at night, they will definitely get sick.
So the three sisters and brothers followed to Aunt Zhou's house.
Aunt Zhou's mother-in-law had already cooked the meal, and when she saw Lin Ruan coming to the door, she pulled Lin Ruan to sigh and sigh, and gave Wang's aunt and nephew another meal.
After dinner, Lin Ruan took Xiuxiu and slept in an idle utility room of the Zhou family.
Xiuxiu was young, and after lying down for a while, she fell asleep.
Lin Ruan thought that he would lose sleep, but his body was already exhausted, so he closed his eyes on the pillow.
When I woke up again, it was already dawning outside.
Hearing movement in the courtyard, Lin Ruan got dressed and got up.
"Ah Ruan, why don't you sleep more?" Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, looked concerned, "Is it uncomfortable to sleep on the bed?" ”
"Sister-in-law, the bed was very comfortable and I slept well. I'll make you breakfast together. ”
Qin thought that Lin Ruan probably thought that living in their house would cause them trouble, so he couldn't sleep well. didn't want Lin Ruan to feel uncomfortable, so she was not polite and nodded with a smile.
The two entered the stove room, Lin Ruan lit the fire, and the Qin family was in charge, and they cooperated quite tacitly.
After breakfast, Aunt Zhou and his wife took their son and daughter-in-law to the old mansion with Lin Ruan and Lin Han. Because Xiuxiu was too young, she was left in the Zhou family and taken care of by Mrs. Zhou.
When they arrived at the old mansion, Lin Saburo and a few other young people who had come to help yesterday were already waiting there, and they also brought tools to build the wall.
Because Lin Ruan and the others are in a hurry to live now, Uncle Zhou discussed with a few people that the original wall of the house would not be torn down, and a layer would be strengthened on the outside first.
The men built the wall on this side, and the women went down the hill to cut the grass and use it to make the roof.
Lin Ruan took the sickle and quickly harvested the thatch.
While she was mowing, suddenly a pheasant flew out of the grass, jumped over her head, and fled up the mountain.
In the last days, Lin Ruan, who was about to chase after him when he saw food running in front of him, subconsciously threw the thatch in his hand, grabbed the sickle and ran to the pheasant.
"Ah Ruan, come back quickly, that pheasant will fly, you can't catch up."
Aunt Zhou saw her plunging into the mountains, and couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
Lin Ruan chased the pheasant into the mountain, and sure enough, as Aunt Zhou said, this thing has wings, and although it doesn't fly high, it definitely can't catch up.
Seeing that the fat pheasant was about to slip out of sight, Lin Ruan stomped his feet.
Damn it!
If only the pheasant could stop moving, she would take the chicken back so that she could add a meal to the people who had come to help with the work.
He pursed his lips and turned around to leave, but suddenly found that the pheasant was really standing still.
Lin Ruan didn't have time to think too much, so he grabbed the sickle and threw it at the chicken.
When the pheasant saw the sickle coming at him, he clucked in a hurry, but he stood still.
With a "flutter", the pheasant's neck was cut in two by the sickle.
Looking at the pheasant struggling on the ground without his head, a trace of surprise flashed in Lin Ruan's eyes.
The chicken's behavior just now was too weird, obviously scared to death, but it was motionless, as if it was controlled by something.
Having crossed over from the end times, she is inexplicably familiar with this scene.
Why was she scratched to death by a zombie with a paw?
Because at that time, she and her combat team were trying their best to annihilate a zombie, and the zombie's ability was to control.
After the zombie was killed, she took a knife and split its head, trying to grab the crystal nucleus in its brain, but the zombie was not dead and gave her a claw.
Before she died, she grabbed the crystal nucleus of the zombie in her hand......
Could it be that she now has the ability of that zombie?
Lin Ruan swallowed his saliva fiercely, looked around in the mountains and forests, and found a caterpillar crawling leisurely on the ground, so he quickly squatted down, thinking in his mind like just now: stand upright and turn in circles.
Immediately, the caterpillar stood up in a strange posture and slowly circled in place.
The silent thought stopped, and the caterpillar immediately fell back to the ground.
Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind, since she could control their movements, could she control their growth?
Lin Ruan stared at the caterpillar and silently recited: Grow up.
The caterpillar did not change.
Isn't it possible?
Lin Ruan was unwilling, and tried to imagine in his mind that the caterpillar would suddenly double in size.
I saw that the poor caterpillar, at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly expanded, and grew into the length of two worms.
Lin Ruan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his cheeks were red with excitement as he clasped his hands on his chest.
It's effective for animals and insects, but what about for plants?
The mountains are full of plants, and it's so easy to experiment.
When she saw the rhododendron, which was originally only the size of a palm, grow to her knees in the blink of an eye, and bloom unseasonably all over the branches, Lin Ruan was so excited that she wanted to scream.
God loves her so much!
Sending her out of that damn end of the world to this plane, and giving her such a powerful golden finger, is this the rhythm that wants her to dominate this plane?
Aunt Zhou and the others cut the grass at the bottom of the mountain, and seeing that Lin Ruan had not come back yet, she greeted a few people with some anxiety, and then raised her feet and walked towards the mountain.
Before he had gone far, he saw Lin Ruan walking out of the mountain forest with a pheasant without a head.
"Ah, I really got you hooked! You're such a great girl that you can catch a pheasant. ”
Lin Ruanqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile: "You can add a dish at noon today." ”
Aunt Zhou was also very happy: "This chicken is quite fat, I will take it back and fix it in a while, so that you can taste the craftsmanship of your aunt." ”
"Then we'll be blessed."
The two walked down the mountain one after the other, and Lin Ruan secretly tested it on Aunt Zhou, and found that the ability had no effect on humans, only on animals and plants.
To control the animal's movements, you only need to recite the instructions in your mind, but if you want to change their state, you must first imagine the effect you need to achieve in your mind.
This is not a hassle for Lin Ruan.
The other sisters-in-law and aunts were very happy to see that Lin Ruan had caught the pheasant.
Every family is not well-off, and there are not many families willing to eat meat during the New Year's holidays.
Although Linjia Village is backed by Funiu Mountain, few people in the village know how to hunt, at most they set a trap in the mountain.
And because people often enter and exit Funiu Mountain, there are not many wild things in the mountain, and they all run into the bigger mountain behind Funiu Mountain. And the big mountain, known as Shenwu Mountain, is said to be rampant with wild beasts and poisonous insects, but few people dare to enter it.
So this pheasant is particularly precious in the eyes of everyone.
Lin Ruan was a little regretful, if he had found out that he had an ability earlier, he would have let this pheasant "grow" fatter and bigger, so that everyone could eat two more bites of meat.
But it doesn't matter, now that she has an ability, will she still lack meat to eat in the future?
After the house was finished, she freed her hands and went into the mountains again, and put on a bunch of wild things, and the family divided a few, which can be regarded as thanking everyone for sending charcoal in the snow.
