MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 16

At noon, the hottest time of the day, waves of smoky heat came from time to time, one wave after another.

Lin Ling jumped out from behind the rocks, and stood in front of the little boy. Seeing the panic on his face that hadn't stopped in time, it was a little funny: "You've been with me, how can you still be scared by me?"

The little boy took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from Lin Ling, but he still didn't make a sound.

Lin Ling asked him forcefully: "Do you want to see where I live? Then go back and tell your people to come and rob me?"

The child shook his head.

"Do you think I'll believe you if you say no?" Lin Ling took two steps closer to the child, looked at the child and questioned him: "Tell me, what do you mean? I'll give you two Tudou, do you still want to go to my house to steal things? You can't be so unkind, or you will be beaten."

The child's mouth seemed to be locked with a combination lock, and he had to pick the lock if he wanted to speak.

"If you don't make it clear today, I'll beat you to death as a spy." Lin Ling pointed to the steep **** on the other side: "Do you know how many bones are down there? Zombies, people, all buried in the Next, if you don't say anything, I will send you to be with them."

The child glanced at the scorched bottom of the ravine, "You lied."

The child hasn't drunk water for the past few days, his lips are very dry, and his voice is very hoarse, like a blunt instrument sliding over a stone, which is a bit harsh.

Lin Ling didn't hear very clearly: "What did you say?"

The child turned up the volume: "You lied."

Lin Ling looked at the little boy in surprise, she was quite courageous, and dared to refute her: "How do you know if I've lied to you if you haven't tried it?"

The child didn't know why, but said very firmly: "You lied."

"I never lie." Lin Ling looked at the little boy with his hands in his hands, "Since you are not dumb, tell me why you follow me?"

The child lowered his head again.

"Do you want to eat my potatoes again?" Lin Ling took out the only remaining baked potato and handed it to the child, "I only have one left, take it and go back."

The child took the potatoes and didn't eat them. He glanced at Lin Ling quickly with gloomy eyes, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I can help you with the work."

"What?" Lin Ling wasn't sure if what she heard meant what she thought, "You want to help me with work?"

The child nodded hurriedly, "I will be very diligent."

The child lowered his head, Lin Ling could only see a broken hat kept shaking in front of his eyes, "Child, what are you kidding me about?"

Leaving aside the details of the child, Lin Ling wouldn't take her in even if she knew the bottom line. She can't support herself, so how can she have time to care about others? "Go back quickly, or your family will be worried."

The child whispered, "It's just me."

"Just...you alone can't do it." An extra mouth requires an extra pair of chopsticks. Now Lin Ling's conditions are enough to support her, and she also raises a person of unknown origin, and her head is not sick: "Why are you here?" how to go back."

The little boy raised his head unwillingly, and said to Lin Ling, "I am an earth-type supernatural being."

Lin Ling was slightly surprised, soil type?

The child said again: "I can help you plant the land."

Lin Ling curled her lips, did she want to negotiate with her?

"I'm very good at turning the soil." The child said and hooked his fingers, and a small earth wall was erected next to him. After the demonstration, he added: "I also eat very little."

Seeing the child begrudgingly trying to stay, Lin Ling was a little embarrassed for a while. She really needed an earth-type supernatural being, but this child didn't know the basics, so it was a big trouble. "No, I can dig the ground myself."

The child lowered his head in disappointment, but quickly raised his head again: "You are a wood-type supernatural power. If you want to farm, I can help you."

After the child finished speaking, he secretly looked at Lin Ling, and added: "Wood and soil are the best partners."

It is true that wood-type and earth-type partners can get twice the result with half the effort, but it depends on who you partner with. Lin Ling glanced at the child and caught the dark emotion hidden in the child's eyes. She didn't want to cause trouble.

"No need." Lin Ling lowered her voice and pointed in the direction of the city, "Hurry up and leave before it's dark."

The child didn't move, he escaped for so long, she was the only person he met who showed kindness to him, even though she was fierce, but he knew that she was not a bad person.

Seeing that the child was not moving, Lin Ling turned around and continued walking forward while pushing the tricycle.

But after walking two steps, someone hugged her legs. Lin Ling looked down at the person who was hugging her legs, she was so angry, she wasn't so clumsy!

"release."

The child didn't move.

Lin Ling held Xiaolu and said in a deep voice, "Don't force me to do it."

The child still doesn't give up.

Lin Ling ordered Xiaolu to do it: "Xiaolu."

Xiaolu jumped onto the child's hand and slapped his hand, but the child would rather endure the pain than let go after the red mark was drawn.

Lin Ling watched the child bear the pain in his face, and for some reason, he thought of his younger brother in the previous family. The younger brother was also a very stubborn person. He would rather be beaten than give in. He looked a bit like this child.

But in the last days, no one is a kind person, neither is she, nor is the child, everyone can do anything to survive.

So no matter how similar he was, Lin Ling couldn't accept it.

Lin Ling said with a sullen face, "Give it up!"

The child still didn't let go, and hugged Lin Ling tightly: "Sister, I can work."

Lin Ling was stunned by the name of the child's elder sister, and some long-term memories flashed in her mind. The little brother chased after herself and called her elder sister, with a soft and waxy voice, well-behaved and cute.

But she couldn't hear it anymore, Lin Ling closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said after a long time: "My place is also a den of cannibalism, and it will eat children if there is no meat. "

A hint of self-mockery flashed in the child's eyes, he also wanted to go to the cannibal's den, he had nowhere to go.

Lin Ling sighed, forget it, anyway, she really needs a soil system for plowing the ground, so she will take it back to work, if she can't do it well, she will be hanged up and beaten to death: "Get up, push something for me."

Hearing this, the child breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got up to help push the cart.

Xiaolu jumped onto Lin Ling's shoulder and hit her a few times in dissatisfaction: Why did you take him back again?

Lin Ling looked back at the child pushing the tricycle, and said to Xiaolu, "Let him help us with the work."

Xiaolu looked at the skinny child with disgust, he was not as strong as his younger brother Dahei, what kind of work could he do?

Lin Ling couldn't help laughing: "Dahei can't dig the ground."

Xiaolu worked hard to fight for his younger brother: Dahei can give it a try.

"Dahei knows that you are protecting it so much, he will definitely be moved to tears." Lin Ling tapped the little green leaves: "From now on, he will be handed over to you to take care of."

Xiaolu glanced at the child, then patted her chest with a leaf: Leave it to me!

Xiaolu turned around and jumped onto the bicycle rack, showing off her might to the child: From now on, you work honestly, if you are not honest, I will beat you! Kill you! Make you as fat as a little black!

Lin Ling twisted her feet when she heard that, Xiaolu, you are bullying again.

Xiaolu didn't care if the child could understand or not, so she put her hips on her waist and taught the child again: work when you go back, and beat you to death if you don't work! kill!

Xiaolu is a mutated plant, and can communicate with mutated beasts, as well as Lin Ling, a wood-type supernatural being, but other supernatural beings can't understand what it is saying.

But Xiaolu's performance was very obvious, and the child slowly figured out a little bit of meaning, but why should he listen to it?

Lin Ling looked at the one who said desperately and didn't want to hear anything, and clicked his tongue lightly. Did the domineering little green suffer from Waterloo?

After crossing the boundary and walking for another hour, Lin Ling finally returned to the village.

Immediately after returning to the village, Xiaolu ran to the pond to take a bath. Lin Ling carefully checked the notes on the doors and windows, and was not moved, so she entered the house with peace of mind.

Move things into the house one by one, and the children also run up and down to move things very diligently. After the move, the child obediently stood under the eaves, quietly serving as a pillar.

"Come in." Lin Ling went straight into the living room, and first greeted the little bear who had been separated for nine days: "Little bear, I'm back."

Lin Ling patted Little Bear's head lightly, "You've worked hard to look after the house these days."

Taking advantage of the interval between Lin Ling and Xiao Xiong's greetings, the child took a look at the room. It was clean and tidy, even the floor was wiped clean. He looked down at the broken shoes with open toes on his feet, and felt like he had entered a high-end world. The clown, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Lin Ling didn't notice the child's uneasiness, so she chose a seat to sit down, and then looked at the child: "You sit too."

The child chose a seat far away from Lin Ling and sat down.

Lin Ling noticed the child's embarrassment and anxiety, and smiled with her lips curled up: "Aren't you very bold? Why are you cowardly coming in?"

The child bowed his head silently.

Lin Ling pursed her lips: "What's your name?"

The child hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "At the end of summer."

"At the end of summer?" Lin Ling pinned the name, "Born at the end of summer?"

The child said nothing.

"Okay, late Xia." Lin Ling nodded indifferently, and his eyes slowly fell on the broken hat on the child's head, which was so black that it was already greasy. What are you doing with a hat? Isn't it too hot?"

Xia Mo did not take any action, unwilling to take it.

"Take it off." Lin Ling reached out to remove the broken hat on the child's head.

Xiao Xia Mo covered her head and backed away, staring at Lin Ling warily, as if she had touched his precious treasure.

Lin Ling raised her eyebrows and watched the child's movements, retracted her hands and sat back on the chair again, pressed the tip of her tongue against her front teeth, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Hats are important to you?"

Xia Mo nodded hesitantly.

"Okay." Lin Ling leaned back on the chair and snorted, "But I don't like dirty children."

Xia Mo froze in place, are you going to drive him away?

Lin Ling sighed, and pointed in the direction of the pond: "There is a piece of soap outside the window sill, you go to the pond and wash yourself clean, and you are not allowed to come back if you are not clean."
