Lin Mo's consciousness gradually became clear from the chaos. Before he could fully wake up, the instinct accumulated over a year of fleeing in the apocalypse forced him to open his eyes suddenly.
Even though his heart was beating fast, Lin Mo still breathed lightly. Although Lin Mo was a little disappointed that he had not died after suffering such serious injuries, what he has to do now is to try not to let those people in the research institute catch him. .
However, when Lin Mo's vision became clear, he realized that something was wrong. If he guessed correctly, the thing above his head should be a mosquito net, right
He clearly remembered that the place where he lost consciousness was a damp alley surrounded by zombies. Lin Mo turned his head to the other side with difficulty, observing where he was now.
wrong! All wrong!
Before Lin Mo could figure out why, he heard footsteps coming from far to near outside the door, Lin Mo's heart tightened.
"Squeak..."
The door opened, and two ten-year-old children walked in. They had exactly the same appearance, and others could tell they were twins at a glance.
Lin Mo tensed up when he saw the children coming in, but when he saw what one of the children was holding in his hand, his attention was diverted.
He smelled it, the smell of food.
"Fourth brother, you're awake!" The ten-year-old child holding the porcelain bowl grinned happily when he saw that the fourth brother lying on the bed had woken up.
Lin Mo didn't answer him, still staring at the bowl in his hand, his almost rusty brain started to work slowly, it seemed that he hadn't eaten normal food for more than three years, let alone a bowl of warm Porridge.
In the research institute, the place where Lin Mo stayed the most was the operating table. In order not to let him die, those people injected him with fluids to maintain his physiological functions. After more than a year of fleeing, his food became more and more difficult. The weirder it is, those can't be called food anymore.
"Mother and eldest brother went to weed the field, and sister-in-law is feeding the nephew and niece. Today, the fourth brother will be taken care of by me and my younger brother." Lin Xing walked to the bed with a bowl.
"Fifth brother, fourth brother must be hungry." Lin Chen reminded Lin Xing who was chattering aside.
"Ah? Oh, help fourth brother up first." Lin Xing put the bowl in his hand on the wooden table and called Lin Chen to help.
Lin Chen skillfully took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, and the two children helped Lin Mo who was lying on the bed to lean against the bed.
Lin Mo reflexively wanted to avoid their touch, but he was helplessly unable to move.
Lin Mo looked at them blankly, his nerves tensed, all of this was too weird, could it be an illusion created by a psychic
But Lin Mo quickly denied the conjecture just now, even the most advanced psychic can't change his body, and it is obvious that his current body is obviously not his original one.
Before Lin Mo could figure it out, he was attracted by the smell of food again. The smell of meat and rice porridge made Lin Mo swallow his saliva.
Lin Mo ate the porridge fed to him by the child bite by bite. The warm meat porridge made his body warm up slowly.
So warm, this shouldn't be a dream, right
"Fourth brother, why are you crying?" Lin Xing was a little flustered when he saw his fourth brother was crying while eating. Could it be that he was still burning
Hearing this, Lin Chen looked up and saw that the fourth brother had no expression but his eyes were red, and a few tears had already flowed down his neck. Lin Chen hurriedly took out a piece of cloth from under the pillow to wipe away the tears for the fourth brother, and touched it. his forehead.
"It's still a little fever, it's okay, the second brother said that it's normal to cry when sick." Lin Chen explained.
"Second brother is a scholar, what he said must be right." Lin Xing also said, afraid that Lin Mo would not believe it and nodded heavily.
I heard from other friends that if my little brother sheds tears in front of others, he will definitely feel shy and embarrassed afterwards, and may ignore people for a long time.
In their impression, although the fourth brother is a brother, they have never seen him cry, even if he has to drink very bitter medicine every time he gets sick.
But now, the fourth brother is crying while drinking the porridge, and he will definitely do the same when the fourth brother recovers. If the mother and the elder brother know, they will definitely be beaten, and the elder brother will be very painful.
"Fourth brother, there is still half a bowl of porridge left, do you want to drink it?" Lin Xing asked cautiously.
"En." Lin Mo replied, his voice was a little weak.
The bowls in the countryside are all big. Lin Mo felt full after drinking half of the bowl. Maybe the original owner's food intake was small, but even if he was full, Lin Mo couldn't help but want to eat when he saw the food.
It's like walking in the desert for several months and suddenly finding a source of water. Even though I'm already full from drinking, I still want to fill my stomach with water.
Lin Mo was already frightened of hunger.
After finishing the porridge, Lin Mo lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. The two brothers Lin Xing and Lin Chen walked out of the room with empty bowls.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lin Mo, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and his thoughts slowly emptied.
Negating the conjecture of 'trap of the psychic', all Lin Mo can think of is the possibility of crossing, and he is no stranger to crossing this kind of situation.
In his university life before the apocalypse, he stayed in the dormitory to read novels except for class, and his first choice was time-travel novels. As far as what he can only remember in his mind now, his current situation should be that he has traveled to ancient times.
Lin Mo clenched his fists, feeling the weakness of his whole body, not only did he not feel lost, but he was also a little thankful.
Although this body is very weak, it can be seen that he has rarely done heavy work at first glance, but it is also stronger than his body full of holes and hidden diseases. At least there is no need to worry about the "sleeping virus" in the body one day without warning. break out.
"How is Mo Ge'er?"
Mrs. Lin, who was feeding her children, saw the two coming out and asked.
"It should be almost ready, the fourth brother was able to finish a bowl of porridge just now."
Lin Xing put the empty bowl aside, sat down to eat, and from time to time helped to take care of the fussy little nephew sitting on the stool.
Sister Lin nodded, and continued to feed the two children, taking a few mouthfuls of food when she had time. After everyone finished eating, Sister Lin quickly packed up the dishes and took them into the kitchen.
"Ah Xing, Ah Chen, look at Brother Mo and Xiao Nan, I'll go deliver food to my parents."
Mrs. Lin came out of the kitchen with a big bamboo basket in her hand, and after giving loud instructions, she put on a straw hat and quickly walked out of the house.
Lin Mo, who was lying on the bed, listened to the sounds outside the room, staring at the mosquito net on top of the bed without blinking.
After a long time, Lin Mo heard the sound of the door being opened, turned his head stiffly and slowly, and saw two three-year-old children wandering in, followed by the two food deliverers just now Child.
"Uncle Wu, hug~" The child with long hair stretched out his hand and looked up at Lin Xing, blinking.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble with your fourth uncle, do you know?" Lin Xing picked up his little niece and put her on the bed, and said with a serious face.
"Xiaoya, be good, don't make trouble~"
Lin Xiaoya nodded with a sullen face, and then slowly crawled into the bed, and crawled over Lin Mo's body in the middle. Fortunately, a three-year-old child is not heavy.
Another three-year-old boy climbed onto the bed on his own hands and feet, clasped his hands on the edge of the bed, and stared at Lin Mo with big eyes blinking.
Lin Mo saw a big immature face appearing in his line of sight, his eyelashes trembled, and then he didn't do anything except blink every once in a while.
"Uncle Four..."
"..."
There were only two three-year-old children and Lin Mo lying on the bed. Lin Xing and Lin Chen had already gone out to feed the pigs and chickens and clean the house.
"Fourth Uncle, do you want some candy?" Lin Xiaoya struggled to take out a strangely shaped brown candy from her pocket, and moved her body to Lin Mo's pillow.
Hearing the word 'eat', Lin Mo finally reacted, blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at the child on the bed, and then at the candy in her hand that was completely different from his impression.
"… eat."
Lin Xiaoya put the candy in her hand into Uncle Fourth's mouth, watched his mouth chewing without blinking, smashed it, sucked it softly, then turned her head away, Dad will give it to her again in a few days a candy.
"Fourth Uncle, is it delicious?"
Lin Xiaoya struggled for a few seconds, and finally turned her head to stare at Lin Mo.
"… Um."
Lin Mo chewed the low-quality candy in his mouth while his mind was wandering. Although it was not as good as the candy he ate before, it was indeed delicious compared to the candy that only had a vague impression in his mind and could hardly remember the taste.
It turns out that sweet things taste like this.
In the end, Lin Xiaonan, who was lying on the edge of the bed, also climbed into the bed. Lin Mo lay on the bed with his eyes open and motionless, letting them play around on the bed, climbing up and down on him.
These two children did not pose any threat to his life, and Lin Mo didn't care if they stayed beside him.
Time passed bit by bit, and the two children, who were full of energy just now, were already sleeping next to Lin Mo. Lin Mo turned his head to look at them and closed his eyes to rest.
After a long time, it should be dusk. Although Lin Mo closed his eyes, he could still feel the afterglow of the sun falling on him through the window, which was very warm.
The originally quiet courtyard suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, followed by the footsteps of several people, which made Lin Mo tense up.
"Father, brother and sister-in-law, you are back." Lin Chen, who was washing vegetables at the side, shook off the water on his hands, and quickly walked over to help take down the basket.
"Where is your fifth brother, where did you go to play again?"
Mother Lin took off the turban from her head, wiped the sweat off her face, and asked while drinking water.
"Fifth Brother and Dashan went to the river to catch fish, huh? This is a red fruit!"
Lin Chen lifted the cloth covering the basket, saw half of the basket full of red fruits, and looked at Mother Lin happily.
"Your elder brother picked it for you, go and wash it, where are Mo Geer and Xiaonan Xiaoya?"
"They're sleeping in their room."
Lin Chen happily carried the basket to the well in the yard, knelt down and poured the fruits in the basket into the basin and began to wash.
Mrs. Lin packed up and came out of the house, and continued to wash and remove the vegetables in the basin. The green vegetables lost their original crispness and freshness after being soaked in water for a long time.
"You two go to the house and have a look. If Brother Mo wakes up, help him out to bask in the sun. The sun is not as strong as it is at noon."
Mother Lin took over the work from the eldest daughter-in-law, and took off the old stalks of the green vegetables with wilted leaves on the ground and soaked them in water.
"Understood mother, Dacheng and I will go and have a look. You wash the vegetables and put them away, and I will fry them." Mrs. Lin shook the water from her hand, stood up and said.
"Hey, mother, go and see if the fire in the stove is still burning. I just washed the vegetables and forgot the rice in the pot." Lin Chen, who was halfway through the fruit washing, suddenly remembered the rice in the kitchen pot, and shouted hastily.
"When will your problem of forgetting things be corrected?" Mother Lin looked at her youngest son, feeling a little bit resentful that iron could not be made into steel, then got up and walked quickly into the kitchen.
Lin Chen pursed his mouth, and while muttering, he washed all the remaining red fruits.
