Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"Since no one is unwilling, let's get moving!"

Mo Qingluan said, "Zhao Dayong, you take a team and start demolishing from the east. The rest of you come with me. First, search everything inside the house."

The crowd quickly dispersed, and a tulou (earthen building) collapsed with a crash as several people pulled it down with ropes. Some people pulled out wooden beams from the ruins.

"Come on, a few of you, lend a hand and carry this beam away."

Someone found some rusty farm tools inside the house: "We've got some stuff here, come help!"

Someone pried open a locked warehouse door and together dragged out a roll of barbed wire. But when Guo Yi saw it, he immediately shouted, "I want that thing. I'll talk to Lin Feng later."

Only then did they let go.

Lin Feng stood boredly next to Xiao Xuan, one hand circling Xiao Hei's head. To be honest, the guy's fur was quite smooth and felt great to the touch.

Little Xuan stared at Lin Feng with its big, silly eyes. It wanted to rub against its owner and play with him, but every time it made a move, Lin Feng would kick it away and not allow it to get close.

Sigh, my owner doesn't love me anymore. When I was little, they used to hold me every day, but now that they have a new pet, they've forgotten about the old one.

Ah!

This sheet of metal tastes really good...

The tattered clothes and quilts left behind by other convoys in the village were rolled into bundles, and the wooden planks and roof beams dismantled from various old cabinets were also piled up. In order to make it easier for these people to put their things on Xiao Xuan's back for storage, Lin Feng built a stone ramp that stretched from the ground all the way up to Xiao Xuan's back.

Soon, scattered metal objects were the first to be sent to the warehouse: iron pots, water pipes, screws, door handles, and abandoned car frames were all sent into the 5-meter-high warehouse and piled up in a corner.

The most surprising thing was that someone took down a few solar panels from the village. The young man carrying the panels was covered in sweat and carefully placed them in the corner of the warehouse.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng patted the other person on the shoulder: "That's good, I'll give you guys a reward later."

The young man quickly bowed to thank him, then turned and ran away.

Lin Feng found Sister Hong in the village. The group of girls were all carrying some old and worn-out metal objects, and they were all dirty.

"Sister Hong, what are you doing?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"Um, weren't you collecting metal? I thought the girls didn't have much to do right now, so I thought I'd help you with something..."

"Help me with something? Okay, I actually have something for you to do. Come with me!" Lin Feng pulled Sister Hong's hand and walked back.

Pulled along by Lin Feng, Lu Hongying seemed to have lost her usual aura, whether she was persuaded or not, it was hard to tell.

Lin Feng led them to Mo Qingluan: "Qingluan, I'm leaving them to you. Go to my place later and bring down a bag of rice. Have these girls help cook porridge. You can't work without giving them food, or they'll call me a skinflint."

Looking at the people Lin Feng brought, Mo Qingluan immediately understood that this woman called Sister Hong had probably already slept with him. This damned man, this stinky man, he even arranged for a woman to sit in my car, and there was porridge to drink, why didn't he give me any?

But the smile on her face remained unchanged: "Don't worry, Sister Hongying will definitely not treat them badly when she comes to my place."

Not only Mo Qingluan, but also Lu Hongying misunderstood Lin Feng's meaning. He simply felt that it wouldn't be right not to give those people something to eat since they were working for him. It just so happened that when they were mining on the cliff last time, Sister Hong and the others helped cook porridge and seemed to be quite good at it. He didn't like trouble, so he didn't want to bother two people at once.

Mo Qingluan and Lu Hongying both thought that Lin Feng was going to arrange for them to get into Yang Mi's car.

Actually, if Lu Hongying hadn't left and had stayed on Xiao Xuan's back, Lin Feng wouldn't have said anything.

He hasn't gone so far as to completely deny everything after the fact.

As Lu Hongying watched Lin Feng turn and leave, she thought to herself, "Oh no, I've incurred another favor. How am I going to repay it? Do I have to…?"

When Lin Feng returned to Xiao Xuan's side, the whole village was in a flurry of activity. The newcomers needed time to adjust, and those without food were begging for it everywhere. Fortunately, after nearly ten days of running around, there were fewer brainless people, which prevented a major disaster.

"Brother Wind..."

A crisp sound came from behind.

Zhuoma rode a chestnut horse through the crowd, reined in beside Lin Feng, and dismounted with great agility. She walked up to Lin Feng and took out a barley cake wrapped in oil paper from her satchel.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I brought you something delicious." She stuffed the pancake into Lin Feng's hand. "I've been hiding this for a long time, and I haven't been able to bear eating it. You should try it."

Lin Feng looked down at the barley cake in his hand, then at Zhuoma's bright, expectant eyes. He took a bite, and to be honest, it wasn't tasty—rough, dry, and slightly bitter. But Lin Feng chewed it a couple of times, swallowed it, smiled at her, and gave her a thumbs up.

"tasty!"

"Really?" Zhuoma's face lit up with joy.

"Really!" Lin Feng said, breaking off a large piece of the pancake and stuffing it back into her hand. "But good things should be shared, here, I'll share half with you."

Zhuoma took the half-eaten cake, which still bore Lin Feng's teeth marks. Her ears turned red instantly, and she shyly took a small bite: "Brother Feng, my sister agreed!"

Lin Feng was taken aback: "Huh? Agree to what?"

Zhuoma lowered her head and kicked a small pebble on the ground: "My older sister said you're very capable and agreed to let me be with you."

Lin Feng stuffed the last bite of barley cake into his mouth, chewed it, swallowed it, and asked, "What about you? What are your thoughts?"

Zhuoma looked at him without flinching, her eyes full of seriousness, a hint of expectation, and a touch of nervousness.

"I think the same as you, sister. I also think you're amazing. My father told me when I was little that I would meet my own Roja (sweetheart) when I grow up, and he would protect me forever!"

"Brother Feng, you'll protect me, right?"

Looking at the girl in front of him with clear eyes that were full of him, Lin Feng felt a pang of guilt.

His initial thought was to deceive her about the eagle, but he didn't expect this girl to be so naive? This is comparable to Chen Min's love-struck mind; could this girl be the same?

But she nodded solemnly, "I will!"

Zhuoma threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, "You're so good to me!!!"

"The convoy will depart in one hour. Everyone, get ready..." the loudspeaker in the convoy announced.

"I need to go back and help my sister pack her things..." After saying that, Zhuoma got back on her chestnut horse and rode away, looking back three times.

Meanwhile, Sister Hong started calling out to the workers.

"Hurry up, everyone, the porridge will be ready soon. Once you're done moving it, bring the bowls over..."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace, especially when they smelled the aroma of rice, which gave them even more energy to work.

Upon hearing this, the others in the convoy acted faster than they thought, crowding around: "Can I have a bowl? I want to join the miners' team too..."

"You can join the miners' team, but this bowl of porridge isn't for you. Without doing any work, how dare you ask me for food?"

"Want some? Next time you park, go work. Move aside, don't hold us up!" Zhao Dayong immediately came to Hongjie's rescue when he saw people crowding around.
