I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 326 Thinking

"Where is it, we are bothering you." Wei Chongming and Hubert quickly bowed to her to thank her.

Mrs. Caroline picked up the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall and checked the lock on the farmhouse door.Then, she pointed to a dark room behind the farmhouse, and asked Ling Yun and others to follow her.

"By the way, Ma'am, my companion was also injured. They are still waiting outside. I will go out and ask them to come in." Ling Yun said cautiously.

"Then I'll clean up the house for you first, and then I'll make some food for delivery." Mrs. Caroline didn't care, and left alone with a lamp.

The figure of the old woman quickly disappeared into the wind and snow. Watching the lights go away, Zhao Sicheng tiptoed to the door and put his ear against the wall to listen carefully.

Soon, his eyes lit up, with an excited smile on his face, he swallowed and said softly to Ling Yun and the others: "There are indeed live poultry in this room, they should be chickens and ducks!"

Hubert pulled the snow away with his feet, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief: under the snow was a pile of chicken feathers; while the iron bucket contained some chicken blood and internal organs.

These uninfected live poultry are simply rare materials in the forest. Thinking of the woman's kind deeds, everyone suddenly felt a little ashamed, and they shouldn't have misunderstood them so much in the first place.

At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and the wind and snow outside are getting bigger and bigger.Black clouds piled up in the sky, and snowflakes kept falling down.In just an hour, the entire forest was covered in snow.

However, under this seemingly pure and beautiful quiet appearance, the danger of death is hidden.

Worried that Shen Tinglan's condition would worsen, Ling Yun and others hurried back to call other companions and brought them into the warehouse.

There is a brazier in the center of the warehouse in the farmhouse, surrounded by sandbags as high as hills.Because of the repairs, although the environment here is simple, it is airtight and much warmer than the previous wooden house.

Ling Yun and others followed Mrs. Caroline to the farmhouse and brought two bundles of firewood, and threw the firewood into the brazier. The special aroma emitted after burning can drive away the blood tide.

The enthusiastic Mrs. Caroline brought a lot of food, she gave Shen Tinglan an apologetic look, and then told everyone, but because it was too late, she had no time to kill the chicken and stew the soup, so she had to prepare some dry food first. Everyone eats.Wait until tomorrow morning, and then cook a hearty and delicious meal for everyone.

"It's okay, we've already troubled you enough. It's enough to have enough to eat, and you don't have to slaughter the chickens you worked so hard to raise for me." Shen Tinglan thanked.

Mrs. Caroline said that she raised a lot of poultry. She and other villagers are old and only eat some vegetables and eggs on weekdays, so everyone is welcome.

Su Li asked the other party about the rookie team, and Mrs. Caroline said that there were five of them, four men and one woman.

When we arrived at the village around three o'clock this afternoon, the bodies of these people were covered with blood. One of the young men was carried by his companions, and his left forearm disappeared, as if he had been attacked by some kind of wild animal.

Speaking of this, she told everyone that the village has not been peaceful recently, and strange movements can always be heard outside the house in the middle of the night, and the chicken coop has been invaded many times.But fortunately, the farmhouse was reinforced by my younger brother in the early years, so there was no loss to the family.

Later, some villagers found traces of wild animals in the nearby woods. Everyone has lived in the forest for a long time, knowing that there will be dangers, so they dare not leave the village recently.

It is estimated that the rookie team should have encountered a wild beast attack during the day.

Before leaving, Mrs. Caroline warned everyone to lock the doors and windows.There are traps outside the warehouse, no matter what happens outside, don't leave the warehouse.

Watching Mrs. Caroline leave, Ling Yun locked the door, and at the same time moved sandbags to the door with Zhao Sicheng and others to prevent anything from breaking in.

Shen Tinglan ate some food and walked for a day with his feverish body. At this moment, he was so tired that he could no longer hold on. After taking the medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, several men finished the reinforcement work profusely with sweat.Everyone was sitting on the ground wiping sweat, and their stomachs were already rumbling.

Lin Qing and Su Li sat by the fire and turned over the charcoal with tongs. After roasting the potatoes, they cooked some porridge with the rice given by Mrs. Caroline.

The rice porridge was bubbling, and there were some mushroom crumbs in it, exuding a strong aroma.

The hungry Zhao Sicheng and the others hurried forward to take the bowl from Su Li and the others, and started to devour it.

Lin Qing looked at Ling Yun habitually, and wanted to approach Ling Yun to make friends with him, but Tang Yao took the first step.

Ling Yun was not in a hurry to eat, but walked to the window alone, intending to observe the situation outside.

The north wind whistling outside was like a knife, and the snow was flying all over the sky, and the whole world had turned into a piece of white.

Looking at the farmhouse with lights on in the darkness in the distance, Ling Yun thought to go to the newcomers tomorrow morning, ask about the Human Face Tree and what happened to them in the past two days, and see if he could get any new clues.

Compared with my own side, those newcomers are obviously much more unlucky.But Ling Yun didn't sympathize with them, just like what Ren Yao said, the current fate was completely caused by those people.

He rashly signed up to participate in the game when he did not have considerable strength. As a result, on the second day after entering the forest, five people died; and one of the remaining members was seriously injured.Given the current harsh environment, I'm afraid that young man won't last long.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that at this time, when he met a senior person, he was undoubtedly drowning and wanted to grab the last straw.That group of people will definitely beg desperately to take them here, and everyone will enter the forest together.

Now that the two teams have met, I am afraid that even if they refuse, it is almost impossible to get rid of these newcomers;

But going on the road with a few burdens will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble to the team, and others may not agree.

Ling Yun pinched the center of his brows, and sighed heavily.

"Brother Ling, thank you for your hard work, let's eat something first." Tang Yao walked over holding a baked potato, and her gentle voice interrupted Ling Yun's thinking.

The skin of the potato has been torn off by her, and some salt is sprinkled on the golden flesh. Although the method is very primitive, it is already a rare delicacy for Ling Yun who has been hungry all day.

Ling Yun raised his eyes, and the eyes that were originally covered with frost were gradually warmed by the fire.

Probably because of the heat, Tang Yao's nose and cheeks were flushed with heat, and even her slender and soft fingertips were pink, which looked very cute.

"Thank you... have you eaten yet?" Ling Yun asked.

"We've already eaten it, so hurry up while it's hot." Tang Yao blew on the hot air, handed a bowl of porridge to Ling Yun, and then sat beside him.

Ling Yun ate food quietly, staring out the window all the time.Seeming to see through his thoughts, Tang Yao suddenly said, "Brother Ling, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Tang Yao hugged her knees and looked out of the window, with Piao Xue in her eyes: "At that time, Zi Ting and Xiao Xue, I were very scared, and I felt that I was going to die. Although I took them to follow you and Big Brother Shen, But privately, I don’t trust you all the time. I’m afraid that you have a purpose and will push us out as a shield.”

Ling Yun took a sip of porridge from the bowl, and paused: "It's normal to have such concerns. You can't slack off at any time, and you can live better by staying vigilant towards strangers."

"But I'm very lucky. You are all trustworthy and good people. From meeting you and Brother Shen, then entering the base, getting to know Lin Yuanqi and everyone... I have been protected by you all this time. Luckily have survived until now.”

Tang Yao fiddled with her fingers, and her tone was a bit cramped: "The newcomers are really reckless. But among them, some may be impulsive, and some may be tricked into participating in the game. Everyone wants to live, and it's not their fault. If , I mean if, can you take them with you?"
