Lamia asked, "Time machine?" ”

I said, "Yes, they are our children, from six years later, traveling through the time machine of ancient civilizations to the present day." ”

Carla stared at me, and even Martin gave me a caring look.

I wiped my sweat and smiled, "That's the way it is. ”

Why should I lie? Because I suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not quite right. Lamia was an easy-going woman, but I didn't even talk to her about adopting a child. What if she's not happy with Carla and Martin?

The excuse of the time machine is different, in this bizarre era, everything is possible, and the plan is perfect when Lamia, Kara, and Martin have matured and then tell the truth.

Lamia was stunned for a few seconds and said with a smile: "So that's the case!" No wonder they resemble me so much. She hugged Carla and Martin, kissed them on the cheek, and said, "I'll prepare food for you, Longie, and you can take them around." Then she walked briskly into the kitchen and instructed the butler and the cook.

The first step of the plan is passed, and the next thing is just a matter of....

Kara turned around and said angrily in a very low voice, "Father! Are you a fool? Why lie? You're scaring me to death. ”

I said, "What are you afraid of?" It's just a stopgap measure. ”

Carla said, "You didn't lie to your mother at all! She knows you're lying. ”

"Impossible! My lie was so gorgeous, she must have believed it. ”

Kara hugged her head and said, "This is too flashy!" What to do? What to do? She must suspect that we are your illegitimate children? What is the best of now? How can I please her? ”

When she said this, I also panicked, should I tell the truth after that? But after hearing the first lie, how could she believe the second lie?

As I paced back and forth on pins and needles, the kitchen door opened, and Lamia walked towards us with a pot, like a hot soup, black, sticky, and thick with round things in it, exuding a peculiar smell.

She said, "Longi, let's have some soup." ”

I asked, "What Dalang?" What medicine to take? ”

Lamia asked, "I didn't say that Da Lang took medicine or something?" ”

I took a step back and said, "Oh, so I misheard, what kind of soup is this?" ”

"Remember the heat-based fruit around the reactor? It's the kind of soup made of fruit. ”

The people of the village did feed on this fruit, and Lamia served three bowls and gave them to us. Carla and I turned pale, not knowing what to do.

I don't think Lamia would have tried to poison me, let alone a child, but since I suspect that she is lying, the soup tastes like hell.

I already have a deep affection for these two children, and I am naturally willing to help them overcome disasters and prevent difficulties, and use my own flesh and blood to try this strange fruit soup before them.

I made up my mind, only to see that Martin had already finished the soup.

Lamia laughed, "Martinis, how does it taste?" ”

Martin burped and whispered, "It tastes good, thank you." ”

But I noticed that Martin's expression was strange, he was expressionless, and now he looked like he was about to have diarrhea.

Lamia said, "Langi, Cassandra, drink it while it's hot." ”

Given Martin's unusual thinking and taste, and the strange smell that fills the air, I think the taste of this soup is debatable, especially since the soup is so weird, and it's time for Carla to experience the great and sacrificial love of being a father.

I laughed and said, "Yes, Kara, drink it quickly, don't get cold and it may not taste good, come, I'll feed you, drink mine too." ”

Carla looked at me in horror and disbelief.

It's useless to look at me, the male lion will push the cub down the hill and let it overcome it on its own, and I was about to put her through such a test.

She doesn't understand my good intentions now, and she'll understand when she grows up.

I was touched by my great fatherly love, and if I turned around at this time, she would surely remember my back for the rest of her life.

Carla said, "Father, I have respected the old and loved the young since I was a child, and I know the politeness of the elders and the young, shouldn't you taste this delicacy first?" ”

My heart sank, and I immediately replied: "Son, as a father, one of the proudest creeds is that in this era of food scarcity, what I must do is to ensure that my wife and children have no worries about food and clothing, as myself, even if you eat a bite, even if you are hungry, I must ensure that you can take in adequate nutrition, I think, when you are growing your body, you can drink these two bowls of soup." ”

As I spoke, I brought a bowl of soup to Kara, scooped a spoonful, and reached it to her lips.

Tears welled up in Kara's eyes, and she said, "Father, I'm really touched, really, no one has ever been so nice to us. No, I can't let you see me crying, I'll be embarrassed. My personality is just too strong! I'm sorry! Father! ”

With that, she ran upstairs crying, opened a guest room and hid in, making an exaggerated cry.

I was blown away by her acting skills, and at this moment, I really suspected that she was my biological daughter.

As a result, Lamia forced me to drink two bowls, and to tell the truth, the soup had no taste at all, neither sweet nor salty, and I felt like I had poured two large bowls of white porridge into my stomach, and the further I went, the more difficult it was to swallow, although there was a shortage of sugar and salt in the village, but such cooking was indeed a waste of food.

She pulled me to the bedroom, closed the door, and asked, "Did you adopt them from the Black Coffin orphanage?" ”

I was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"They're both dressed in clothes with the word BCO embroidered on them, don't you even look at them? I had been planning to adopt a child for a long time, and I thought about it for a long, long time, but I didn't have the courage to go to the orphanage. ”

When my lies were exposed, I only felt shameless and said, "They are all good boys." ”

Lamia's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, her snow-white skin and beautiful eyes instantly bloomed, and she smiled: "I know, I liked them at first sight, they are your gift to me, I feel like you raised them with me." ”

She hugged me tightly, she was so emotional, so hot, that if it wasn't for the immediate need to eat, I would have brought her to justice on the spot.

Thankfully, dinner wasn't Lamia's own meal.

At dinner, Carla tried to show Lamia what she was good at, reciting the books she had read, she did like to read, but perhaps she was wrong, she said that she had read "The Wealth of Nations", "Capital", "Principles of Economics", "The Secret of the Struggle between the Workplace and the Inner Palace", etc., and it was staggering to say one thing at a time.

Lamia asked, "You've seen so much, but do you understand?" ”

Carla said, "Mother, I really can't understand all of this knowledge at the moment, but with time, I will be able to understand it." ”

Lamia smiled and said, "We have a lot of books here, and there will be more in the future, do you want to be a librarian here?" ”

Carla said proudly: "Although I love knowledge, I can aim high, and applying what I have learned is the ideal I pursue. No, Mother, I'm not going to be confined to working with books all day, I'm going to be the most profitable helper to my father and help him run his empire. ”

Lamia and I asked in unison, "What empire?" ”

Carla said: "Look, mother, father, look outside, now this world is the law of the jungle, fist is the last word, only the strong can dominate the world." My father has the strongest force in the world, and it is natural that he should become the master and become the emperor, so that he can have no regrets in his life. ”

I asked, "Have you ever read some violent comic books that are not right?" ”

Cara admits that Lady Anne often tells them a story about a savior legend of the end times.

After the meal, Lamia bathed them both, changed into their lovely pajamas, and read to them by the bedside until they fell asleep, I didn't know how easily she got into the role of mother.

We went back to the bedroom, I hugged Lamia, our hearts were full of stability and happiness, but we were so excited that we couldn't sleep, after some exercise, we were tired and snuggled up to each other, Lamia asked, "I see you coming with food." ”

I sighed, "The Black Coffin is also facing a shortage of food, how is the Rangers' harvest these days?" ”

"There wasn't much to gain, and the surroundings weren't peaceful," Lamia said. After Xiao Aru, the number of children in the village increased, plus the new villagers.... And they seem to be used to having enough food and clothing, and the food is consumed very quickly, so we have to let them limit their diet. ”

I began to get annoyed again, and said, "We searched for all the places that were not listed, and there was always something to be gained, like a cannery with food that would not perish, like those fruit orchards.... It must have been full of fruit. ”

Lamia kissed me and said, "Don't worry, those places are too dangerous for these rangers now, they lack the equipment of the black coffin, they can only explore the way, not for exploration." When the investigation is over, the two of us will go to find it ourselves. ”

It's not a long-term solution, if we want a stable source, we need livestock, or planting, we have plenty of water, we have plenty of sun, those moose maybe....

"Exposed fruits and vegetables are highly toxic, and like in rice paddies in the last century, we can build a planting shed out of ember crystals," Lamia said. ”

My heart was filled with hope and I said, "Yes! Planting sheds! We'll start working tomorrow right away! I can hire those cultivation experts for the Black Coffin, even if I need a Bloodline to cast spells. ”

"I've heard that there is a similar field in the black coffin, where some pumpkins and corn are produced, and once they are ripe, we just have to survive until this time next year..."

I nodded, "The important thing is that we have to get through until this time next year." ”

Lamia said, "Wait for tomorrow, wait for their news." If the Rangers have any results, the two of us will set off at once, and this time, we must not return empty-handed. ”
