He now has a plan in mind, and the next step is to put it into action. Lin Ye had intended to tell Lappland his thoughts, then let her take the lead and collaborate with him.

But with Lappland's questionable IQ, he felt that with such a difficult task entrusted to her, there was a high possibility of her failing disastrously.

For the moment, Lin Ye decides not to tell Lappland.

"Come! Come! Eat and eat."

Lin Ye is in a good mood because he has found a solution and pats Lappland's head.

Munch*

Lin Ye ignored the feeling of Lappland's teeth sinking into his flesh.

When the fire started, the three of them sat down around it. Lappland looked at the meat Lin Ye brought and was excited to eat it. Lin Ye could tell Irene was hungry. After all, she hadn't eaten all day and had completed all of the day's work under Lappland's supervision. She, on the other hand, didn't show it.

And all this was seen in Lin Ye's eyes. Lin Ye puts his portion of meat down. He stands up and pretends to have a stomach ache, clutching his stomach "I'm going to the restroom. You both can eat first."

Lappland isn't paying attention right now. Her mind is only on meat. She simply nodded. Immediately roasts the meat after Lin Ye left the yard. Lin Ye observes the situation from behind a tree not far away.

Because Lin Ye placed all of the meat by Lappland's side, and Irene was clearly not the type to take the initiative to take the meat. Even if she was hungry, she chose to remain on the sidelines.

This type of awkward personality is difficult to deal with, and Irene is the type of person who refuses to accept the kindness of others, so she can only look at Lappland.

Lapland, on the other hand, was still sitting there after Lin Ye had left. Looking at the flames' amber.

"Come one, Lappland," Lin Ye says quietly, "I know you can do it."

Lappland, on the other hand, couldn't hear Lin Ye's voice. She is happily eating the meat and appears to be in good spirits.

Lin Ye was apprehensive. He only then remembered that Lappland was also a problem child and that in certain situations, it was better to get two people with psychological issues together. Lappland would assist her, and maybe Irene could help her.

Lin Ye shakes his head.

Don't think too much.

Lin Ye is going to trust his own judgement now that he's decided to do this. When he was busy pondering the situation, he felt the tip of his nose become cold. So, he raises his head and discovers snow falling from the curtain-like sky.

He has no idea how long it took to hear Lappland's voice.

"You just gonna sit there doing nothing? Are you expecting me to feed you?" Lappland says abruptly.

Irene's body turns away from her. She seems to be a little afraid of Lapland.

"Tsk, look at your cowardly expression. I really want to kill you." Lappland glared, "In my family, a guy with a mental disability like you can't live past three years. Have you ever been taught how to survive?"

Irene shakes her head.

Lappland suddenly pulls out her sword. Lin Ye, who is watching by the side, is startled.

She wouldn't really want to chop Irene, right?

Lappland thrusts her sword in front of Irene.

Irene is taken aback and looks at her in disbelief. But Lappland curls her lips and says, mockingly, "Don't look at me like that."

Irene's panicked eyes are filled with suspicion.

"What did you expect me to do? I'll lend you my sword. Use it to cut the meat and then grill it. Are you capable of doing so? Exactly like I did."

Lappland points at her other sword, on it, there is a piece of meat.

Irene opens her mouth slightly.

She draws out Lappland's sword after a few seconds of hesitation, and then, as Lappland says, she cuts the raw meat. Then she skewers it with the blade and roasts it over the fire.

"Heh meat skewers are so nice, aren't they?

"..."

"Hey! Are you an idiot? The meat is about to burn, can't you see it? You're stupider than Texas. You can't do anything Texas can do."

Irene doesn't know who Texas is, under Lappland's guidance and swearing, she finally cooked the first piece of meat.

Then she eats it in front of Lappland's belittling gaze.

To be honest, it wasn't particularly tasty because it was a little burnt. Of course, it could also be because her tongue was missing, and she has a problem with her sense of taste. But when she felt the warmth in her mouth, she felt as if something had touched her heart. She didn't care that the meat had just been cooked and that the temperature was still high. She swallows it whole.

She looks up after eating to see if Lapland is still there.

Lin Ye, who witnesses all of this, finally smiles, as if he was an old father watching his children grow up for the better.

He's hungry and cold from squatting for too long in the fragrant ground, and his legs are numb, but he doesn't care.

He gives a grateful smile. He finally sees the possibility of '"saving" Irene. Showering her with comfort and care won't work as well as before. All she needs is for someone to stand up and tell her what she should do next and how she should live.

This is also a result of having been raised as a slave for so many years. Although it is unfortunate, it appears that this is the only way to assist her.

As a result, a voice that can tell her where to go and what to do next is the best thing for her. And Lappland is the voice, even if she isn't aware of it.

But it makes no difference. Everything will be fine as long as he can hold on and bring Irene to Rhodes Island.

Yes, everything will be fine as long as a solution is found.

Lin Ye, the bystander, observes both of them, one roasting meat jerky in the snow and the other standing irritated on the side. He instinctively pulls out his phone.

He snaps a photo of the scene. He lets out a sigh.

"I must be doing something right."
