Chapter 205: "Moving the Granary"

In the afternoon, all the coolies were forced to cut and process the wood, except for the three people in the kitchen.

Lin Zaishan, Marianne and Mathilde were responsible for the food of the whole staff, and thanks to the increasingly energetic logging activities in the past two days, the collection of firewood was effortless, so the time of the three of them was mainly spent collecting wild vegetables, flowers and wild fruits.

"Two aunts, can you tell me why I didn't even have a wild fruit for half a day?"

"Mr. Zarin, none of the plants on this island are fruit trees." Marianne replied respectfully.

Lin Zaishan had long noticed the scarcity of species on the island, but his subjective desire for the five-colored crystal fruit was too strong, after all, it was a panacea that could bring him back to life under the current circumstances.

"Maybe there will be one on the north side of the island." Mathilde pointed to the tall fence behind the house, "The door at the back is the only way to the north, and out of that door you climb a steep hill and you enter a canyon with many, many houses, and at the end of the canyon is a tourist harbour." There are a lot of plants in and along the canyon, and I'm sure you'll find a lot of resources there. But it's too dangerous to get there from this road, because it's already occupied by zombies along the way. ”

Marianne said, "Didn't you find a cave dug by rats in the cliff earlier?" Durt's people say the cave leads directly to the residential area to the north. ”

Lin Zaishan knew that there was no high-value information from the mouths of these two "aunts" for the time being, so he decided to investigate it himself. When he saw a plant with a special appearance and position, he put his hand on it and "inquired" carefully.

"Mathilde, give me the shovel." Lin Zaishan took the shovel and dug under a tall grass, and after a few shovels, he dug up the root system of the wrong knot, and continued to dig down along the root, and found something with a hard shell, which looked like a peanut, but was more than ten times larger than a peanut, and should be the seed of this tall grass.

Lin Zaishan was overjoyed, and after a few shovels, he found two other giant seeds.

"Forehead God!" Marianne and Mathilde were not calm, "This peanut-like thing must be edible, is it Mr. Zarin?" ”

Lin Zaishan had already explored the characteristics of the giant seeds clearly, and said, "Not only can they be eaten, but they also have extremely high nutritional value." If you eat 1 pill per meal for a few weeks, you will be stronger than Doult. ”

"Is this true?" The two women were surprised and delighted.

"However, this is a secret between the three of us, and none of you are allowed to tell outsiders for the time being." Lin Zaishan reminded: "Otherwise, the giant peanuts will be snatched away by the mob, they will become stronger, and we will be even more hopeless." ”

"Understood!" The two women nodded their heads in unison.

Lin Zaishan saw their greedy gaze staring at the giant peanut, so he handed them one each, "Don't miss the good things, eat them quickly while no one finds them now." ”

The three of them immediately smashed open the hard shell of the giant peanut and devoured the kernels inside. This kernel is quite crispy to bite, but the taste is quite bland, even a little bitter, and there is no peanut sweetness at all.

Mathilde looked at Lin Zaishan, who was eating with relish, and asked, "Mr. Zhalin, can I leave some for poor Sushan?" She had just been beaten, bruised and in need of nourishment. ”

"Then you have to give it to her when you're alone, and make sure you don't get noticed by others. In addition, to promote the healing of trauma, it is best to eat a little of that kind of flower and plant regularly. ”

"Understood, thank you, Mr. Zhalin, you are such a good person."

Lin Zaishan thought to himself: "During this time, I was threatened by Durt and other perverts every day 'peanut seedlings', and today I found a giant peanut, which can be regarded as a compensation for me." ”

He spent the whole afternoon digging and gathering all kinds of plants. Mathilde and Marianne looked at the strange ingredients that Lin Zaishan found in all sorts of unexpected places, and became more and more convinced that he was a wizard, a warlock, or a magician.

//////

That night, Lin Zaishan changed the habit of Mathilde and Marianne only making a big pot of rice, letting Durt and others eat first, and then giving the rest to the coolies, and cooking in two large pots at the same time, giving the cleaner and more delicious pot to Durt and others, and the dirtier and more unpalatable pot to the coolies. There are two main prerequisites for this arrangement: first, sufficient ingredients; Second, dexterous craftsmanship. Due to the arrival of Lin Zaishan, both of these were satisfied.

Durt and the others are used to it, and of course they will not object to this kind of treatment stratification, but they only suspect that Lin Zaishan is doing something in the meal, so let Lin himself taste it first, and then eat it afterwards, of course they will not find any problems. As far as the coolies are concerned, they have no choice but to passively accept them.

Under Lin Zaishan's careful cooking, the food that night can be described as "full of color, flavor and flavor", not only Durt and other thugs were full of praise, but even the coolies were also happy.

Durt, who was satisfied, called Lin Zaishan to the restaurant and asked with a deliberate face, "Tell me Asian monkeys, what the hell do you put in our food?" ”

Lin Zaishan replied unhurriedly: "There is your favorite fish and meat in it, and a little flowers, roots and monosodium glutamate are put as seasonings." ”

"What happens if you eat these flowers and roots?" Durt took out his dagger and gestured in front of Lin Zaishan. The thugs also stared at Lin Zaishan angrily.

"There will be no consequences for eating it for good people, but if it is eaten for bad people, the consequences will be serious." Lin Zaishan said seriously.

"Huh?" Durt grabbed Lin Zaishan by the collar, and the dagger was pressed against his throat, "Tell me quickly, what are the consequences?" ”

"The consequence is that your peanut seedlings will become self-inflated and even out of control."

"Hahaha!" Durt and the others laughed. "Asian monkey, you're funny." After Durt laughed enough, he touched his crotch and nodded: "It seems to have a real effect, my North American rooster is singing again." ”

The thugs chimed in: "It really works." ”

"Brothers, eat and drink, it's time for some entertainment." Durt shouted, "Go to the basement and find some pretty girls!" ”

The mob screamed with excitement.

Lin Zaishan said loudly: "Wait a minute! ”

"Asian monkey, do you want to join us in the party? I'm worried about whether your peanut seedlings have grown. Ha ha! ”

Lin Zaishan ignored the thugs' laughter, "I prepared a drink squeezed from the roots of the tree, and drinking it will make people flutter, and the effect is better than all synthetic drugs." ”

"What? Why don't you hurry up and get it! "Doult has never taken drugs since the end of the world, and he has had many drug addiction episodes, all of which are in pain. There are several thugs like him.

Lin Zaishan immediately brought over a bucket of homemade root juice, and Durt ordered him to taste it first to confirm that it was non-toxic, and then he took a cup, and after a few bites, he really felt like he was flying through the clouds, and it was wonderful.

"Boss, how do you feel?" Joey asked.

"It's a hundred times more refreshing than any powder I've ever tasted."

"Really?" The thugs rushed up and began to rush to drink the juice of the roots. Soon, everyone fell into an extreme state of hilarity, except for Joey.

Joey took out a pistol and said coldly at Lin Zaishan: "You damn Asian monkey, is there some conspiracy?" Do you want to seduce us before you raid us? ”

Lin Zaishan shrugged, "You open your eyes wide and look at how skinny I look now, like someone who can raid a strong man like you?" ”

Joey put away his pistol, "It's good that you're self-aware, don't get out of here!" ”

Lin Zaishan turned around and left, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, "This Joey has some brains, this time he was careless and missed the opportunity to settle the work of the thugs." But that's okay, I'll take the time to put some more strong medicine in my meal and scrap this Joey. ”

//////

That night, Lin Zaishan was arranged to sleep in the storage room next to the kitchen. He soaks in the air and listens intently to the movements of the mob, who have woken up from their hilarious state, most of them are asleep, except for a few who have been asked to watch the night.

Lin Zaishan knew that his current strength was not enough to deal with the thugs who patrolled the night, so he was honest and did not take any small actions, except for stealing and eating the giant peanuts he had secretly hidden.

//////

The next morning, Lin Zaishan got up early, picked up a shovel, axe and basket and prepared to go out. At the gate of the house, two strong men on duty with a height of two meters stopped him, "What are you going to do, Asian monkey?" ”

"Go gather the ingredients and prepare breakfast."

"We haven't had breakfast since we entered the last days." A strong man said, "Why don't you save trouble and sleep for a while." ”

"Really? Why didn't you tell me sooner. Lin Zaishan pretended to be happy.

Another strong man said, "Wait a minute." Our consistent principle is that we would rather burn our butts than let stupid pigs be lazy. You, Asian monkey, hurry out and gather food, the more the better! ”

"Well, as you wish." Lin Zaishan looked reluctant.

During this day, he took advantage of various gaps and excuses to collect and hide a large amount of food, which not only fed himself, but also gave a lot to Mathilde and Marianne. Both women thanked him and then took advantage of the opportunity to deliver food to their relatives and friends who were working as coolies.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zarin, everyone had a great time. It was almost the best day to eat since the end times. ”

"Don't thank me, we have a saying in Huaxia that helping others is the foundation of happiness. I am also very happy to be able to help my friends who are suffering. ”

In this way, Lin Zaishan spent another two days on the island with the experience of "helping others", and his physical condition was also recovering rapidly, and his body shape had improved significantly.

//////

He was the first to get up that morning. Walk alone to the beach, put your feet in the water, and use your plant abilities to investigate. A group of small piranhas that were swimming in the distance rushed towards them with great vigour.

Lin Zaishan hurriedly took a few steps back, and then used a basket to protect himself in front of him. The piranhas jumped out of the water, and he loaded them in baskets, filled them with sand, and soon died of exhaustion.

Lin Zaishan took away the sand, carried a dozen piranhas on his back to a large rock far from the house, picked up some dry branches, and made a fire to grill the fish.

"If I can eat a dozen more of these fish a day, I should be able to compete with Durt and the others in two or three days at most."

He was about to put the fish in his mouth when three coolies approached and spotted him.

"Asian monkey, what are you doing?" A coolie asked.

Another coolie exclaimed in surprise, "This guy is secretly grilling fish to eat!" Brothers, let's do it together, these fish are ours! ”

Although these three coolies were thinner than Durt, they were already very strong compared to Lin Zaishan, and they were even more powerful, so they didn't take Lin Zaishan in their eyes at all, and pushed and shoved him to the ground.

Lin Zaishan was helpless, gave up the grilled fish and turned around to leave, but was pulled by the strongest coolie, "Asian monkey, I ask you to roast 10 of these fish for us every day; Otherwise, we'll kill you! ”

"Dude, aren't you afraid I'll tell Durt?"

"Go ahead and see if Doult believes in his fellow Mi country, or if he believes in you, an Asian monkey."

Lin Zaishan sighed and turned to leave. He didn't want to be embarrassed by such a pitiful and hateful low-level person.

//////

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have tender grilled fish to eat, he can also dig up giant peanuts and tree roots.

Lin Zaishan first sucked the root juice, and then skillfully scavenged out 5 giant peanuts. As he hid behind a tree, he had just finished enjoying a giant peanut when several coolies approached him, this time Jimmy, Will, and Rob.

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Zaishan looked at a few people who were not kind and asked.

The three of them surrounded Lin Zaishan in the middle, and Rob, the strongest of them, grabbed Lin Zaishan by the collar and said, "Some people say that you are a magician, and some people say that you are a mobile granary." We now ask you, the magician, to conjure delicious food from the mobile granary to fill our rumbling bellies. ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. What are you going to exchange it for? ”

"Hmph, how about swapping your left eye?" Rob pressed Lin Zaishan's forehead with one hand, and made a gesture with the other to clasp his eyes.

"Dude, aren't you afraid I'll tell Durt?"

"Go ahead and see if Doult believes in his fellow Mi country, or if he believes in you, an Asian monkey."

"It seems that you are very confident in the close friendship between compatriots in the United States." Lin Zaishan scoffed.

"Don't talk so much nonsense!" Jimmy quickly retrieves the giant peanut from Lin Zaishan's basket, and Rob and Will leave Lin Zaishan and start grabbing peanuts with Jimmy.

"Just think I'm doing good." Lin Zaishan once again reluctantly gave up his food.

//////

He carefully gathered the rhizomes of some flowers and plants, and then hid behind another stone that he thought was very secret, and was about to chew on it, when three women, Susanne, Joanna, and Caroline, appeared. It seems that they are also here to fetch food from the "mobile granary".

"Ladies, what do you want from me?"

"Mr. Zarin, can you give us some food? We would be grateful. Caroline said politely.

"Unfortunately, the food I just collected was snatched by a few 'compatriots from the United States'."

"They say you're a mobile granary, don't you hide a little food in secret?" Joanna asked disappointedly.

"If you're using this as food, I'm hiding a little." Lin Zaishan lit up the rhizomes of the flowers and plants in his hands.

"Can we taste it?" Carolyn asked.

Before Lin Zaishan could answer, Su Shan snatched the rhizome from Lin Zaishan's hand, "Don't talk nonsense with this Asian monkey!" I need to recover as soon as possible and then settle accounts with Durt and the others! ”

Susan gave the captured rhizomes to Caroline and Joanna to eat.

"I'm also the one who was bullied by Durt. Are you just taking life-saving food from the same oppressed without mercy? Lin Zaishan asked.

"Please forgive us for our recklessness." Caroline blushed and apologized.

"This is the territory of the rice country, and all the food you collect from it belongs to our rice country, and of course we have the priority to use it. That's how we are, what can you do? Su Shan sneered.

Lin Zaishan once again reluctantly gave up food and left.

//////

For the whole day that followed, he was constantly harassed and bullied by the coolies. All the food he had worked so hard to gather was snatched by the coolies, and he was hungry. Almost all of the coolies who snatched food threatened him with physical and verbal violence, even those who were the most humbled in front of thugs like Durt.

Lin Zaishan couldn't bear to be bothered, so he did a little trick in dinner, and that night, more than 50 coolies, except Caroline, all vomited and diarrhea. Caroline was spared because of a bouquet of flowers and plants given to her by Lin Zaishan.

"What the hell, why are these stupid pigs all clamoring to go to the bathroom, do they have some delicious food hidden in the toilet?" A big man on night duty asked his companion puzzled.

"I think they eat poop and eat bad stomachs." The companion scoffed.

//////

The next morning, Lin Zaishan was finally able to hide behind the rocks and enjoy his grilled fish. As soon as he put the first grilled fish to his mouth and was about to eat it, Durt surrounded him with a large group of thugs.

"Damn Asian monkeys! Sure enough, they're stealing my food! Durt rushed up and kicked Lin Zaishan to the ground, grabbing the grilled fish and eating it while ordering his men to tie Lin Zaishan with a rope.

"Do you know how disappointed you are for me?" After Durt had eaten his fill, he took out his dagger and gestured in front of Lin Zaishan.

"I not only serve you to your full stomach every day, but also make you eat sweet and delicious." Lin Zaishan defended: "I don't know where to provoke you? ”

Durt pointed to the fish bones on the ground and said, "These fish are my food reserves, and I will never allow others to steal them without my consent." Got it? ”

"I caught these fish from the sea, they don't belong to you."

"They belong to the United States. You cunning Asian monkey not only steals and eats the fish of the rice country, but also secretly hides and trafficks other animals and plants. I want to punish you on behalf of my compatriots! ”

At this time, the voice of another thug came over the walkie-talkie on Durt's shoulder: "Boss, the stupid pigs refuse to work, saying that they ate bad stomachs last night. ”

"Brothers, take up your weapons and drive all these stupid pigs here!" Durt commanded.

//////

Ten minutes later, the coolies were driven to the cage by punches, kicks, and whips.

"You stupid pigs, why don't you join the labor. Labor is honorable, it can buy you food, and it can save your head and little brother. ”

"Mr. Durt, we had an unclean meal last night, and we had diarrhea all night, and we are all in a state of semi-collapse now."

"Nonsense, why are my brethren all right?"

A coolie who once snatched food from Lin Zaishan said: "It must be because this Asian monkey has done tricks, and everyone says that he is a terrible wizard or warlock." ”

"Kill this Asian monkey!" Many coolies who had suffered from vomiting and diarrhea last night began to crusade against Lin Zaishan.

"If I punish this Asian monkey, will you be able to go to work immediately?" Durt asked "friendly".

The coolies looked at each other, and said, "Unless you can let us follow you out of this cursed island." ”

"Okay, I'll grant your request." "If you want to leave this abominable island with you," said Durt, "you must work hard today to make sure that the raft is built as soon as possible." Otherwise, I wouldn't mind chopping you all into pate. ”

"We promise!" Many coolies cried. They didn't like Durt, but they hated the island even more, and would rather work as coolies than fight to get out of the cursed place first.

Durt walked up to Lin Zaishan, punched him in the lower abdomen, grabbed him by the collar, patted his cheek and said, "Asian monkey, although I like your cooking skills very much, but in order to take care of the fragile public opinion of the compatriots on the island, I have to wronged you." Let's enjoy the last cage life. Come on, hang this Asian monkey! ”

Lin Zaishan was hoisted into the air again, looking down at the ground.

"Durt, why don't you kill him?" A strong coolie who had snatched food from Lin Zaishan for fear that Lin Zaishan would tell him asked.

Many people heard the words and echoed them together.

Durt turned around and asked Lin Zaishan, "Asian monkey, can you tell me a reason not to kill you right now?" ”

Lin Zaishan sighed and said, "I have at least 4 reasons to save my life. ”

"Tell me, let's all hear it."

"The first reason is that I have the ability to get food from all kinds of places you can't even imagine, and keeping me alive means having an inexhaustible supply of food. As you say, I'm a mobile granary. ”

When the coolies heard this, they all suddenly woke up, and some of them secretly regretted it, and some thought, "If we kill the Asian monkey, how will we fill our stomachs in the future?" ”

Durt reprimanded: "Humph! If in the past, we were short of food, of course what you just said could be a reason; But now that we have the meat of the fish monsters, and the raft is about to be built, and we can all leave this damn island soon, your food power is worthless. ”

"Really? Well, remember, don't come to me if you're hungry in the future. Lin Zaishan said: "I'll talk about the second reason below, don't you want to cross the sea on a raft?" Then I weakly ask: How do you ensure safety? ”

"This ......," Duarte was speechless, and the rest of the people were also talking.

"Tell me how to cross the sea safely on a raft?" Durt threatened.

"Do you think I'm a stupid pig?" Lin Zaishan mocked: "You just put me in a cage, and now you want to pry the secret book of safe crossing the sea from my mouth." ”

"I think you're bragging!" Durt said, "Come on, what other reasons do you have to save your life?" ”

"Does that reason count?" Lin Zaishan asked, "I can predict the weather in the next few days." ”

"Do you have the ability to forecast the weather?" Durt asked, suspicious. There have been several examples of abilities on the island, where the former sheriff in power had the ability to teleport, and Doulter couldn't have killed him if he hadn't disguised himself as a pug in front of him. The weather information for the next few days will be important for Durt.

"Oh, not the weather forecasting ability. I'm just paying special attention to observation and inquiry. Lin Zaishan did not lie, he did "ask" the plants on the island to determine the direction of the weather in the next few days.

"So do you think tomorrow will be sunny or cloudy?" Durt asked.

The resourceful Joy added: "Boss, just guess the cloudy and sunny day, the probability is too high, I think it is better to ask him if there is rain and wind tomorrow, how much rain and how much wind." ”

"Good idea. Asian monkeys, answer the questions! ”

"Well, I'll give you a free piece of weather forecast: tomorrow from day to night, please turn cloudy, with light rain in the evening; Southwesterly wind, level 4-6. By the way, almost forgot: dressing index, sweater; Morning exercise index, good. Thank you for it! ”

Durt looked at everyone a few times and said sharply: "Asian monkey, I will spare your life for another day, and if there is no light rain until tomorrow evening, I will cut off your peanut seedlings and send your carcass to feed the fish." ”

"Huh? Haven't you always liked to feed zombies? ”

"I've changed my preference to piranhas." Durt raised his rifle and shouted, "You stupid pigs, don't hurry up and get to work!" ”

Looking at the back of Durt leaving, Lin Zaishan said in his heart: "Ha, why don't you patiently ask me the fourth reason?" You're guaranteed to be blown away. ”
