Chapter 3: Her weakness is that she can't lie
If there is any weakness in her as a time-traveler, it must be that she can't lie.
A few words to others is more difficult for her than to climb over the moat.
Not to mention that her mind was blank when she made up lies, and as soon as she thought of lying, she couldn't help but shudder, and her mind couldn't help but flash whips, darkness, and hunger.
In the last days, she was attached to a very informal orphanage, where every child who lied to the mother-in-law was punished very harshly.
But if she didn't lie, how would she explain it to Tsang? In the last days, because she didn't hide her own space, she was hunted down and killed several times, in ancient times, let alone space, even if she crossed this matter, she had to be regarded as an alien......
She didn't have the courage to face Zeng's gaze, so she forced herself to turn her head and not look at Zeng.
Zeng's said to himself, "Such a good sugar can be eaten by the Li Zheng family." Alas...... He can give you sugar, which is the old character and smooth. ”
She pulled Lin Huan'er to her side, "Come, Huan'er, grandma doesn't eat it, Huan'er eats it herself." After that, she was going to send the candy cube to Lin Huan'er's mouth.
Lin Huan'er: ......
Seeing the candy cube coming, he twisted his body and covered his mouth, "Huan'er has already eaten it, grandma eats." ”
One is that there are many of this milk candy in the space; The second is that although life in the last days is difficult, this kind of sugar cube is an industrial product made of saccharin, which is very cheap and can be eaten with your belly open. She knew that Zeng's was showing love for her, but she was happy to have avoided the lying link just now, and in the face of what came out of other people's mouths, she accidentally showed a look of disgust on her face.
Lin Huan'er likes to eat sugar, so she carries various flavors of sugar cubes with her, the sweetness has a soothing effect, which can make people's chaotic mood settle down, when she is depressed or irritable, she is used to holding a piece of sugar in her mouth, and slowly her mood will stabilize.
Seeing that Zeng was in a bad mood, she wanted to use her own methods on Zeng. She used to be a loner, and the only master rarely chatted with her except to teach her knowledge, she was like a wild child, growing up wantonly on her own, and figuring out how to get along with people.
"Grandma, you can eat, you'll be in a good mood after eating." Lin Huan'er covered her mouth and said.
Zeng saw obvious disgust on Lin Huan'er's face, and he was moved and amused, "Okay, then grandma will dip Huan'er's light and taste the sweet sugar cubes." ”
Zeng has never been a weak person, carefully holding the milk candy cube in his mouth, letting it slowly melt away, and Zeng's emotions slowly precipitated.
She looked around, and the four walls of the hut were earthen walls, which could keep out the wind and rain, but the roof was covered with wooden planks, and there was a hole in decay. She regained her energy, "Huan'er, help Grandma find out the oilcloth in the baggage, it's a rainy day in April, Grandma has to cover the roof first." ”
There was no ladder in the broken house, so Zeng moved the bamboo couch, stacked two wooden benches on the bamboo couch, and asked Lin Huan'er to help hold the rickety wooden stool and climb to the roof with an oilcloth.
As soon as he got on the roof and put his hand on the beam of the thatched house, Zeng's "ouch", his body shook, and he almost fell off the stool. Fortunately, Lin Huan'er quickly supported her, and Zeng pulled the weeds that grew on the beams of the house, and dragged the weeds down to stabilize his body.
"What's wrong, grandma?" Lin Huan'er asked hurriedly.
"I forgot that there were already people living here, and when I looked up and saw a person in the river, it scared me." Zeng patted his chest and said.
Lin Huan'er suddenly thought of what Patriarch Lin said, there were already two families living here who had fled the famine.
She asked with some curiosity, "Grandma, the people in the village say that these two families have killed people, are you afraid of them?" ”
Zeng shook his head, "Not to mention that it's all rumors, fleeing from the famine, where can they live in peace like they did in the village, if you really get to that environment, either you die or I die, how can you escape without a little blood." Don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the village, when the time comes, you will really see people and learn about the ceremony. ”
Lin Huan'er bent her eyes and smiled sweetly, "Okay." ”
She's also killed people. As Zeng said, in some environments, either you die or I die. In the last days, in order to survive, she did many things that made her uncomfortable.
She was really happy to hear Zeng say this.
"I just don't know who lives here." Zeng Shi was curious again.
didn't wait for her to be curious for a few minutes, and after a while, a rough voice suddenly sounded outside the thatched hut, "Eldest sister, didn't you scare you just now?" You okay? ”
Standing outside the door was a man of about fifty, burly and tall, with gray hair but not old, he had long hands and feet, and walked steadily, looking like a practitioner. Seeing that Zeng and Lin Huan'er came to answer the door, he wiped a handful of wet hair, hugged his fists, and greeted with a smile, "I'm Li Yuan next door, just call me Lao Li, I don't know the two?" ”
Zeng hurriedly replied, "My husband's surname is Lin, but the village calls me Mrs. Zeng, this is my granddaughter Lin Huan'er." Later, the two of us moved in, and I bothered Brother Li to take care of it. ”
"Moved here? Just the two of you? ”
Seeing that Zeng and Lin Huan'er didn't speak, they seemed to be a little embarrassed, Li Yuan was busy and remarked, "Okay, it's good, my family also has a half-grown son, who is about the same age as your granddaughter, and will come to my house more often in the future." ”
After speaking, Li Yuan looked up at the roof, "Are you guys mending the house?" How can you just cover it with an oilcloth, you wait, my family built a house last year and there are still some planks left, I will help you get them. ”
"Don't don't, how embarrassing is this......" Before Zeng finished speaking, Li Yuan strode away.
When he came back again, he not only brought planks and tiles, but also brought back two boys, the older one was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one was fourteen or fifteen years old, "This is Liu Gong and Liu Jian of the Liu family, I heard that a new neighbor came to help, and that family and their mother, the Bai family, went to the river to wash clothes, and when she came back, she brought her to meet you." ”
Seeing Lin Huan'er looking behind him, he said enthusiastically, "My kid is studying at home, and the little girl comes to my house to play." ”
Zeng saw that the two neighbors were so enthusiastic when they first met, so it was difficult to refuse, so they hurriedly invited people into the house. After helping Zeng's build the roof, the three of them dug out the stove hole, cleaned the chimney, and left in a hurry without even drinking saliva.
When she left, Lin Huan'er was sweeping the floor with a broom, and Li Yuan passed by her side, and there was another warm invitation, "The little girl often comes to my house." Lin Huan'er felt a lot of slander in her heart, how could this person be like an old witch in a candy house, inviting people to his house over and over again.
"Those people are good-hearted." Zeng Shi held on to the door frame and watched the three people go home, she looked at the sky, it was just past noon, she went back to the house and put the things in general place, scooped out a small bowl of brown rice, "Huan'er find a rag out, I'll go to the river to fetch water first, you wipe the bamboo couch and this table in a while, and I'll cook for you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the rough voice sounded outside the door again, "Sister Zeng, I sent you a bucket of water, there is a well in front of my house and Liu's house, and if you want to fetch water in the future, you will go over to fetch water yourself." ”
"Thank you so much." Zeng's was busy to welcome out. Lin Huan'er didn't move, her eyes were all attracted by the bowl of brown rice that Zeng scooped out.
It's so fragrant, you can smell the aroma of brown rice before you cook it. This has to be put in the previous life, at least 100 Singapore dollars a catty, right? Looking at the brown rice, she suddenly had an urge to throw away all the bad rice that had been ripening for two months in the space.
Ancient times are too good, anything is pure natural and pollution-free, so can the various food skills she learned be completely usable? She has a collection of many books in her space, most of which are recipes, including ancient recipes, pre-apocalyptic recipes, and some recipes for new species that appear in the apocalypse.
It's a pity that in the last life, she could find too few ingredients, and most of the recipes couldn't be tried, if she could make all these foods in ancient times, would she be able to open a small restaurant and make a fortune?
When Zeng came back, Lin Huan'er was still staring at the bowl of brown rice in a daze.
"Hungry?" Zeng smiled, "I'll cook." ”
"Grandma." Lin Huan'er suddenly raised her head, "Can I take a stroll around here?" Promise not to go far and come back soon. ”
Zeng thought she was bored at home, and instructed, "Don't go to the river to play, come back early when you've had enough." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Huan'er agreed and ran out of the door.
The hut they lived in had a river in front of it and a mountain behind it.
Lin Huan'er knew that he was small and weak now, so he didn't dare to go far, so he only walked around at the foot of the mountain.
It was only April, and she found clumps of wild onions and amaranth at the bottom of the mountain. She pulled some out of the way until her two little hands couldn't hold on to them, and then she walked back. Halfway through, her eyes suddenly lit up.
There was a large field of pale blue wildflowers on the roadside in front of us, and the breeze blew, and the delicate petals trembled slightly like butterfly wings.
Rich, rich! Lin Huan'er quickly stuffed the wild vegetables into the space and ran towards the wild flowers.
