Lin Mo's consciousness gradually became clear from the chaos. Before he fully woke up, the instinct accumulated from his last escape, that lasted for more than a year, forced him to open his eyes. Even though his heart was beating fast, Lin Mo still reduced the sound of his breathing. Although Lin Mo was disappointed that he had not died from such a severe injury, what he had to do now was to try not to let the researchers catch him.

However, when Lin Mo's vision became clear, he found that something was wrong. If he guessed right, he should have a mosquito net around him, right? He clearly remembered that where he fell unconscious was a dank alley surrounded by zombies. Lin Mo turned his head to the other side to observe where he was now.

Incorrect! It was all wrong!

Before Lin Mo came up with a plan, he heard footsteps coming from a distance approaching closer. Lin Mo was anxious.

Squeak… The door opened, and two ten-year-old-looking children, who looked exactly the same, and were a pair of twins, walked in. Lin Mo had tensed up when he saw the children coming in, but when he saw something in one of the children's hands, his attention was diverted.

He smelled the scent of food.

"Fourth Brother, wake up!" The ten-year-old with the porcelain bowl said happily when he saw that his Fourth Brother was awake.

Lin Mo didn't respond to him but still kept his eyes fixed on the bowl in his hand. His nearly rusty brain began to work slowly. It seemed that he hadn't eaten normal food for more than three years, let alone a bowl of hot porridge.

In the Research Institute, the place where Lin Mo stayed most was the operating table. In order not to let him die, those people injected him with fluids to maintain his physiological function. Then, more than a year later, his food became more and more strange, and could no longer be called food.

"Mother and Elder brother went to the fields to weed. Sister-in-law is feeding our nephew and niece. Today, Sixth Brother and I will take care of Fourth Brother." Lin Xing went to bed with the bowl.

"Fifth Brother, Fourth Brother should be hungry." Lin Chen reminded the wordy Lin Xing.

"Ah? Oh, get Fourth Brother up first." Lin Xing put the bowl on the wooden table and asked Lin Chen to come and help.

Lin Chen skillfully took off his shoes and climbed into the bed. The two children, one by one, lifted Lin Mo on the bed and made him lean on the edge of the bed.

Lin Mo's conditioned reflex was to avoid their touch, but his body was unable to move.

Lin Mo looked at them expressionless and tensed his nerves. It was all so weird. Was this a vision created by a psychic? But Lin Mo quickly denied the conjecture thinking that even the most advanced psychic couldn't change his body. Obviously, this body was not his original one.

Before Lin Mo could figure anything out, he was attracted by the smell of food. The smell of meat and rice porridge made Lin Mo swallow his saliva. Lin Mo ate the porridge that the child fed him, and the warm porridge slowly warmed his body.

It was so warm, this wasn't a dream?

"Fourth Brother, why are you crying?" Lin Xing saw his fourth elder brother eating and weeping. He was a little flustered, his brother didn't have a fever still, right?

Lin Chen heard this and looked up, saw that his Fourth Brother had no expression, but his eyes were red, and a few tears had already trickled down to his neck. Lin Chen hurriedly took out a cloth from under the pillow to wipe his tears and touched his forehead.

"He's still burning. It's okay. Second Brother said it's normal for me to cry when I'm sick." Lin Chen explained.

"Second brother is a scholar. He must be right." Lin Xing also said, afraid Lin Mo didn't believe him and nodded heavily.

After listening to others, his twin brother would cry in front of others, then he would feel shy and embarrassed, and may ignore others for a long time. In their impression, although Fourth Brother was their brother, they had never seen him cry, even if he had to drink very bitter medicine every time he got sick.

But now, Fourth Brother was weeping while drinking porridge. When Fourth Brother was sick or well, he acted the same. If they let their mother and Eldest Brother know, they would be beaten, and Eldest Brother would be hurt.

"Fourth Brother, there is half a bowl of porridge left. Do you want to eat it?" Lin Xing said carefully.

"Mn." Lin Mo responded with a weak voice.

All the bowls in the countryside were big. Lin Mo felt full after drinking half the bowl. Maybe the original owner's food was small, but even if he was full, Lin Mo couldn't help but want to eat when he saw the food.

It was like walking in the desert for a few months, suddenly finding a water source, and, even if one had enough to drink, they would still want to pour water into their stomach.

Lin Mo was really hungry.

After eating the porridge, Lin Mo lay back in bed again and rested. Lin Xing and Lin Chen took the bowl and walked out of the room. Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lin Mo, lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and slowly emptied his mind.

To deny the conjecture of a 'trap from the psychic,' all Lin Mo could think of was to go through this possibility, which was not new to him.

In his college life, before the end of the world, he stayed in the dormitory to read novels in addition to taking his classes, and the first choice he picked was novels over classes. As far as he could remember from the content in his mind, his current situation should be that his soul had transferred into ancient times.

Lin Mo clenched his fist and felt the weakness of his whole body. He was grateful that he was not dead. Although he was frail as he seldom did heavy work, it was better than his original body full of holes and hidden diseases. At least he didn't need to worry about the day when the 'sleeping virus' in his body would explode without warning.

"How is Mo Ge'er?" Sister-in-law Lin, who was feeding her children, asked when she saw the twins coming out.

"I think he's almost ready. Fourth Brother just finished a bowl of porridge."

Lin Xing put the empty bowl aside and sat down to eat. From time to time, he helped to take care of his little nephew, who was a bit noisy sitting on the stool.

Sister-in-law Lin nodded and continued to feed the two children. When she was free, she also took a few mouthfuls of rice. When everyone finished eating, sister-in-law Lin quickly packed the dishes and took them into the kitchen.

"A-Xing, A-Chen, watch after Mo'ger and XiaoNan. I'll send rice to your parents." Sister-in-law Lin came out of the kitchen with a big bamboo basket in her hand, put on a straw hat, and walked out of the house quickly.

Lin Mo, who was lying on the bed, listened to the voice outside the room and stared at the net on the top of the bed without blinking. After a long time, Lin Mo heard the sound of the door being opened and turned his head slowly and stiffly. He saw two three-year-old children walking in, followed by the twins who had just him sent food.

"Uncle, hold~" The kid with long hair reached up and looked up at Lin Xing, blinking.

"Ah, mn, don't make trouble with your Fourth Uncle, alright?" Lin Xing picked up his little niece and put her on the bed.

"Xiaoya is a good girl, won't make trouble!"

Lin Xiaoya nodded, with a face taut and a milky voice, and then slowly climbed over the bed. In the middle, she also climbed over Lin Mo's body. Fortunately, the three-year-old child was not heavy. The other three-year-old also climbed into the bed with his own hands and feet. He put his hands on the edge of the bed and stared at Lin Mo with big eyes.

Lin Mo saw the big, tender face in his vision, his eyelashes quivered, and then he didn't move much, except for blinking every once in a while.

"Fourth Uncle…"

"…"

Two three-year-old children were lying peacefully on the bed. Lin Xing and Lin Chen had already gone out to feed pigs, chickens, and clean the house.

"Fourth Uncle, do you want to eat sugar?" Lin Xiaoya took a strange shaped brown sugar out of her pocket and moved to Lin Mo's pillow.

Hearing the word 'eat,' Lin Mo finally had a reaction. His eyes blinked. He turned to look at the child in the bed, and then at the sugar in her hand that didn't match his memories.

"… Eat."

Lin Xiaoya put the sugar in her hand into Fourth Uncle's mouth, watched his mouth as he chewed it without blinking. Smash, smash and then sucking it quietly. She turned her head and didn't look any longer. Her father would give her another sugar in a few days.

"Fourth Uncle, is it delicious?" Lin Xiaoya struggled for a few seconds and finally turned to look at Lin Mo.

"…Mh hmm."

Lin Mo chewed the poor sugar in his mouth. Although it was not as delicious as the sugar he used to eat, it was really delicious compared with the candy in his mind that he only had a vague impression of and was about to forget the taste.

It turned out that sweet things tasted like this.

Finally, Lin Xiaonan, who was on the edge of the bed, also climbed over. Lin Mo, lying on the bed, kept his eyes open, letting them play in the bed, and climb up and down on him. These two children were not life-threatening to him, and Lin Mo didn't care if they stayed next to him.

As time went by, the two young children, who were full of energy, fell asleep beside Lin Mo. Lin Mo looked at them and closed his eyes to rest. After a long time, it became dusk. Although Lin Mo closed his eyes, he could still feel the afterglow of the sun falling on him through the window, which was warm.

In the quiet courtyard, the door suddenly opened, and then the footsteps of several people made Lin Mo tense up.

"Father and mother, brother and sister-in-law, you are back." Lin Chen, who was washing vegetables, shook the water off his hands and quickly stepped over to help take the basket.

Mama Lin took the headscarf off her head, wiped the sweat on her face, and asked as she drank water. "Where is your Fifth Brother playing?"

"Fifth Elder Brother and Eldest Brother went to catch fish on the other side of the river. Eh? This is red fruit!"

Lin Chen opened the cloth covering the basket, saw half a basket of red fruit, and looked happily at Mama Lin.

"What did your elder brother pick for you? Why don't you wash it? What about Mo'ger, Xiaonan, and Xiaoya?" 1

"They are sleeping in the room."

Lin Chen happily carried the basket to the well in the courtyard, squatted down, and poured the fruit in the basket into the basin to wash.

Sister-in-law Lin cleaned up and came out of the house. She continued to clean the vegetables in the basin and fished them out. The vegetables would not be crisp and fresh after being soaked in the water for a long time.

"You two go inside and have a look. If Mo'ger wakes up, help him out to bask in the sun. It's not as bright as it is at noon."

Mama Lin took over the work from her daughter-in-law. She took off the old stem from the withered vegetables on the ground and put them in the water.

"I've got it, mother. Go and have a look with Cheng. You can wash the dishes and put them away. I'll fry the food." Sister-in-law Lin shook the water off her hand and stood up.

"Hey, mom, will you go to see if the fire in the stove is still on? I just washed the dishes and forgot the rice in the pot." Washing the fruit, Lin Chen suddenly thought of the rice in the kitchen pot and hurried to shout.

"When can you change your forgetfulness?" Looking at her little son, Mama Lin got up and walked quickly into the kitchen.

Lin Chen felt bad, mumbled, and cleaned the rest of the red fruit.

Chapter 2: Spiritual Space

In the yard, Lin Mo sat on a stool and ate one fruit at a time. The juice was sour and sweet, which made him a little happy.

Lin Chen sat next to Lin Mo, and the two children also sat in a circle around the basket with fruit. Mama Lin threw the cut wild herbs and vegetables into the henhouse and pigsty and started to clean up the contents with a bamboo broom.

The sound of chickens and pigs, the smell of rice floating out of the kitchen, the high and low conversation sounds of other people outside the house, all of these made Lin Mo feel like he was in a trance.

Lin Mo didn't expect that from his dark days of the Research Institute, his unrealistic fantasies were realized today.

"Mom, I caught two big fish and a lot of shrimp!" Lin Xing walked into the yard with two big fish in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other hand. Lin Xing's trouser legs were pulled to his knees, and some mud was still stuck on his calves, which was obviously not clean.

"Take it to the kitchen and give it to your Elder Brother. Aren't you wet?" The voice of Mama Lin came from the pigsty.

"No." Lin Xing looked down at his wet trouser legs and answered decisively. What was wet were his trouser legs, not his clothes. What he said should be right.

"Fifth Elder Brother, your trouser legs are obviously wet." Lin Chen retorted in a low voice.

"Leave it to me." Lin Xing stared at his brother, and then quickly brought the things in his hand to the kitchen.

When the sun set completely, it began to get dark. Sister-in-law Lin also brought out the dishes. Mr. Lin, who was making bamboo baskets, also finished his work. Sister-in-law Lin went back to the room and changed her clothes and came out to make the several children wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

"Mo'ger, is your head still dizzy?"

After washing her hands with her granddaughter and grandson, Mama Lin asked Lin Mo, who was squatting aside to wash his hands.

Lin Mo was the only ger in the Lin family, but Lin Mo's body and bones were inferior from birth to now due to some accidents with his mother at birth, so he couldn't do any heavy work.

Fortunately, there were many people in the Lin family. Father Lin and Mother Lin were still powerful, and most of the heavy work in the family could be handed over to Lin Cheng, the eldest son of the Lin family.

"I'm okay." Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said this, maybe he hadn't spoken for a long time as his voice was a little hoarse.

Mama Lin reached for his forehead and said, "Your voice is still hoarse. I'll ask your Eldest Brother to go to the mountain to find some herbal medicine for you to drink."

"Grandma, Medicine… Bitter, Fourth Uncle… No drink." Lin Xiaoya, who was standing by holding Lin Mo's clothes, wrinkled her face and puckered her lips.

"You don't know." Mama Lin lightly tapped her granddaughter's forehead and said this with a smile.

Lin Xiaonan, who stood awkwardly, shaking off the water in his hand, heard this and his serious face wrinkled, and then he went to Lin Mo and pulled his clothes.

"Fourth Uncle, I still have sugar. Here you are."

Mama Lin listened to their conversation with a smile, stood up, and walked to the dinner table with her granddaughter in her arms.

Lin Mo stood up. Suddenly, it was dark in front of him. Lin Mo struggled to stand in place and blinked. After a long time, his vision became bright again. He shook his head and walked forward.

After a few steps, he stopped, reached out his hand, and waited for the child to hold his finger to move. He strolled. It seemed that he was accommodating Lin Xiaonan, who had short legs. In fact, Lin Mo had not yet recovered.

In ancient times, people didn't have a rich nightlife. They basically went to bed after supper, and Lin Mo went back to his room after taking a bath.

Lying on the bed, Lin Mo felt his bulging belly. It seemed that the original's stomach was really small. He was full before he ate much, but Lin Mo continued to eat even after he was full. He put down the dishes and chopsticks when he was completely full.

This abnormal behavior made Lin Mo get looked at frequently by his original family, but Lin Mo didn't cover up too much. Although he was happy with his rebirth, he didn't want to live under his original's design.

If he was suspected of being a monster… Lin Mo closed his eyes. He also knew that he had gone through all kinds of afterlife. He has no mind and energy to act and disguise himself to live.

It didn't matter whether it was life or death.

However, it seemed that they were just confused about his behavior. Lin Mo, who put down his guard with all his heart, slowly fell into sleepiness. The moment before he fell asleep, Lin Mo still thought about the future.

His family seemed to be very poor. He had to find a way to make money. He wanted to eat rice.

At night in the countryside, it was not quiet, after all, there were insects outside.

In the middle of the night, Lin Mo, lying in bed, opened his eyes without warning. His chest was heaving violently, and he felt like he was about to stop breathing. There was only despair and numbness in his open eyes. Obviously, he had not recovered from the nightmare. Lin Mo wanted to get up, but he felt overwhelmed.

There was only a heavy gasp in the quiet room, which hit his chest and made his heart pump with pain.

Lin Mo couldn't hear anything at this time. He couldn't hear his breathing. He couldn't hear any sound around him. He could only feel the "bang, bang, bang" movement of his heart.

Slowly, Lin Mo seemed to hear the sound of insects from far and near. He had caught a straw of life. He tried to suppress the roar in his head.

It took a long time for Lin Mo to wake up completely. He lay motionless on the bed, his eyes slightly gathering life to cover his tired and empty look.

Lin Mo, who was awakened by the nightmare, couldn't sleep again, so he lay on the bed with his eyes open and his head empty until he heard the crowing of chickens outside the room. Lin Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly. He closed his eyes, and the next second there was no figure in the bed.

When Lin Mo went into the spiritual space, he went to the spring, where there was a stream of water. He found that there were several more plots of land in the space. He was surprised for a few seconds before ignoring them.

After scooping a handful of spring water with both hands and drinking it, Lin Mo only felt refreshed, and the feeling of tiredness from not sleeping all night disappeared. Then Lin Mo left the space without staying too long.

In the spiritual space, there was only one spring that emitted water. It was blocked by white fog all around it. He couldn't see it clearly or go there. However, Lin Mo looked at the land, but he had no interest in it.

Before the end of the world, Lin Mo was a young master favored by a powerful family. He used to stretch out his clothes and open his mouth. He had never heard of anything like farming, let alone planting.

The medium spiritual space was originally an ancestral jade plate, which Lin Mo had worn since childhood. Before the end of the world, Lin Mo thought it was just a jade plate with only some simplicity. He didn't expect that after the end of the world came, it would become his life-saving thing, and also a life-killing harm.

When the end of the world came, Lin Mo's family were all in Y City, near the Imperial City. Lin Mo and his Second Brother were all in the south. One was studying at school, and the other was working in the branch office. After the end of the world came, Lin Mo's classmates gained abilities, only he didn't have one. Before the end of the world, his family was in a strong position, and the stars were in full swing.

But when the end of the world came, all kinds of moral constraints and legal systems were abandoned by people, and all the dark things were slowly moved to the stage. As a young master of the Lin family who had no power, the situation was naturally bad.

Later, by chance, Lin Mo found the space in his jade plate, but Lin Mo didn't treat it like he read in all the novels. With this space, he could get along well in the end.

However, Lin Mo's space had been discovered. Although there were many spatial powers, the difference in his space had been found by some people.

What happened later was the beginning of Lin Mo's nightmare. One year after the end of the world, his family died one after another. No matter if it was an accident or a conspiracy, they all died. Lin Mo was also arrested and sent to the Research Institute because of the singularity of his spiritual space, and then his nightmare lasted for two years.

At the beginning of the fourth year of the end of the world, the Research Institute was taken over by a zombie tide, and Lin Mo took advantage of the gap of the people to escape. Then Lin Mo began his escape for more than a year.

On the way to escape, Lin Mo learned that the zombie tide of the Research Institute was led by his elder brother, who had become the zombie emperor, so Lin Mo changed the direction of his escape and wanted to find his elder brother.

Lin Mo had only his eldest brother as family. Although he had become a zombie, and he didn't know if his brother still remembered him, Lin Mo still had his spiritual space.

During the two years of torture in the Research Institute, Lin Mo didn't learn anything. As long as his eldest brother drank the spiritual water, he would definitely recover. But before Lin Mo found his elder brother, he heard more news that made him despair. The zombie emperor was killed by five powerful ability users. The crystal nucleus of the zombie emperor was placed in the first base, and the dawn of the end of the world was coming.

Everyone was excited about the news. Only Lin Mo felt totally disillusioned at that moment, and the last straw was falling behind him.

Finally, Lin Mo died in the last zombie wave during the end of the world.

So the first thing Lin Mo hated was the ability user who killed his family and all the people in the Research Institute. The second thing he hated was his spiritual space. But the spiritual space was rooted to his soul from the very beginning and couldn't be eliminated. That was why the people in the Research Institute tortured him for two years and didn't get any spiritual space information.

Lying on the bed, Lin Mo put his right arm on his face to cover his eyes and the tears that were about to fall. Half of his face was still expressionless.

Just now, after a sip of spring water, the body's constitution changed to become more in line with Lin Mo's soul. He also learned the family's information from the memory of the original body.

The original body was also called Lin Mo, but this was not the place Lin Mo cared about most. The First Brother and Second Brother of the original body were very similar to Lin Mo's former eldest brother and second brother.

But his elder brother seemed to be a farmer, so he was a little tan while his second brother was pale. After all, he didn't need to be tanned all-day staying in the Academy.

He didn't know how long it was, but, from the yard, gradually, a low noise sounded.

The quiet village of Daling gradually woke up, and the sounds unique to rural areas bloomed.

Chapter 3: Fruit-Bearing Orchard

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Hearing the children frolic in the courtyard, Lin Mo also got up, walked out of the room after somebody's activity, and looked at them silently for a few minutes. Lin Mo also learned that the four children at home stood on the big stone board to brush their teeth.

The Lin family was not rich in Daling Village, but they could also eat a full meal. The Lin family had 15 mu of paddy fields and 20 mu of dry land. Apart from the annual taxes, the rest was enough for this family's one-year rations.

But in addition to basic satiety, they needed to supplement the nutrition for the children. Lin Mo, the only ger of the Lin family, had been weak since he was a child. Lin Xiu, the second son of the Lin family, also needed a lot of silver to get his reputation.

So even though Lin Cheng, the eldest brother of the Lin family, and Father Lin made a lot of money by going out to work short-term every year, they still couldn't make the Lin family richer. Even if there were some savings in the family, they still had to prevent the children from getting sick.

Daling Village was most famous for having all kinds of fruits. Surrounded by three mountains, Daling Village only had a road to the southeast to connect the neighboring villages and the county seat.

Although there were some fruit trees in these three mountains, they were not all over the mountain now. It was because ten years ago, the supply of fruit all over the country suddenly fell short of demand, and they were in short supply until they saw the remote county town.

Other people saw the business opportunities, and the farmers were not stupid, so they began to plant fruit trees on the hills that were divided into their own homes. In the first two years, all the families in Daling village made a lot of money, but then they couldn't sell them again after the initial success.

Now, apart from occasionally picking some for the family to eat, the rest was left to fall and rot, and nobody cared. The mountain orchard had become a place for children to play in Daling Village, and because of poor management, there were fewer fruit trees.

The grass in the field had been removed for more than half a month. Today, Father Lin and Big Brother Lin Cheng planned to go deeper into the mountain to hunt and find herbs.

As the ancients said, they should depend on the mountain to feed the mountain and the water to feed the water. 1

In addition to farming, the men in the village worked part-time to hunt in the three mountains around Daling Village. Even if they couldn't hunt big guys to increase their family's income, they could still hunt small ones to add meat and vegetables to the family table.

After breakfast, Father Lin and Eldest Brother Lin took their things and went out. Because the farm work was temporarily finished, Mama Lin and sister-in-law Lin stayed at home to embroider some things and planned to sell them in the town next time they went to the market.

"Mom, Little Brother, and I are going to pick some fruit at the foot of the mountain."

Mama Lin was surprised to hear Mo'ger's initiative to go out of the house, but she still didn't object. It was better to go out for a walk, so he didn't have to stay at home all day.

"Go ahead, don't run to the mountain, Little Xing. Look after your Fourth Brother. Don't get heatstroke at noon."

"I know, ma'am." Lin Xing put the basket beside the wall onto his back.

"Fourth Uncle, I will go too." As soon as Lin Xiaoya heard that Fourth Uncle was about to go out, her eyes brightened. She quickly stood up with both hands and walked to Lin Mo with short legs.

On the other side, Lin Xiaonan, who was playing with the chickens, suddenly felt that the chickens were not very entertaining any longer. He turned around to look at Lin Mo, and his eyes were full of expectation.

"No way." Lin Mo refused without expression.

Xiaoya felt scared when she saw Lin Mo's expressionless face, and she was at a loss as she held her clothes with her hands. Xiaoya thought that Fourth Uncle was angry. He looked fierce when he didn't laugh.

"…You will stay at home with your brother, and I will bring you delicious food." Lin Mo touched her head strangely.

After Lin Mo explained to the two children, he left with Lin Xing and Lin Chen with the basket on his back. Sister-in-law Lin looked at her two children's backs, shook her head and smiled helplessly, then continued her embroidery work.

Not long after he left home, Lin Mo saw a river. There were many people washing clothes by the river. Lin Mo looked at it casually, which made him wonder why there were many men washing clothes.

Not waiting for Lin Mo to search for the relevant memory in his brain, Lin Xing and Lin Chen greeted the villagers passing by and interrupted his thinking.

"It's the Lin family. I heard that you were ill again the other day. Are you better now?" Auntie Zhang, with a basket in her right hand, asked with a smile.

"Already." Lin Mo nodded coldly.

"That's good. Let me say, you little gers should come out more and walk around. If you stay at home all day, you will get sick."

Aunt Zhang was not surprised by Lin Mo's indifference. Lin Mo didn't often walk around the village. Other people didn't know Lin Mo very well. What she heard was that the Lin family had a delicate and frail little ger, who was a little introverted.

Little ger? What did she mean? Lin Mo had some doubts in his mind. Before that, he thought it was strange for Mama Lin to call him this. He didn't care much since he thought it was the original's nickname.

Although Lin Mo had some memories of his original body, if he didn't dig it deliberately, he only knew something about it, which was general and vague. Whether this dynasty was historical or not, he hasn't figured it out yet.

And Lin Mo couldn't just ask others like this. Wasn't that telling others what was wrong with him?

"Aunt Zhang, we will leave first. The sun is rising. We'll talk another day."

Lin Chen listened to Aunt Zhang say that they hadn't stopped by for such a long time, and quickly said that noon would arrive quickly if they talked more. Lin Chen felt the impatience of his Fourth Brother.

In fact, it was just a frown of doubt.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, the three brothers went on their way. Lin Chen glanced at his Fourth Brother walking beside him and felt relieved. He felt that his Fourth Brother had changed a lot recently, but it seemed that the change was not bad.

The three went to a path that divided the road. There were many shrubs on both sides of the road, and there were some fruit trees between the shrubs.

Lin Xing looked up at the fruit trees on the side of the road, and though he wanted to eat them, explained why not to, "The fruit on both sides of the road is not sweet. It's the most delicious, crispy, and juicy on the other side of the mountain."

"How far is it?" Lin Mo looked back and continued on his way.

Since there were more delicious ones, Lin Mo would not complain about eating those inferior ones. Although he really wanted to eat them, Lin Mo could afford to wait.

"Soon, that's the front one, and then there's a kind of wild purple fruit on it. It's sour, sweet, and delicious." Lin Xing reached out and pointed to the large fruit orchard in front of him. Some fruit trees still had flowers on their branches, while others were already full of fruits.

Lin Mo's body had been transformed by the spiritual water. Although it had not been completely transformed, his five senses were still several times more sensitive than ordinary people, and he could smell the clear and sweet scent of fruit there.

Lin Mo's nose sniffed gently. The air was fresh in the morning. The fresh smell of grass and the sweet smell of fruit made Lin Mo feel better, and his tense nerves were relieved.

Lin Mo's eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent. He quickened his steps and moved forward. The twins, who fell behind, looked at each other for a few seconds then quickly followed. They could tell that their Fourth Brother was very happy.

"Do you like fruit very much?"

"Almost. Eating more fruit is good for your health." Lin Mo was in a good mood, and his voice was not so cold.

After walking for a long time, Lin Mo reached forward and tiptoed to pick a red apple. After wiping it with his clothes, he began to nibble on it. Lin Mo looked around as he ate the apple. He found that there were many kinds of fruit here.

"Do we have the same kind of fruit as others?" Lin Mo asked as he walked along after eating an apple and a big pear.

"It's not exactly the same. We have more here, and there are still some wild fruits under the cliff inside." Lin Chen explained.

"Fifth Elder Brother, what are you doing?" Lin Chen, who followed Lin Mo, didn't see his twin brother keep up with him. Looking around, he found Lin Xing squatting under a tree.

"Here are some strange plants. Come and have a look. The fruits are colorful." Lin Xing turned to them and waved to them.

Lin Mo was puzzled, knowing that he had seen it in the past. Wasn't that a modern pepper? How could it be found here in ancient times? Was it a variation?

In addition, Lin Mo also found a pepper tree nearby. Looking aside, he found a tomato vine with small fruit clusters similar to grapes.

"Is this the only one? What about that? Has only one been planted?" Lin Mo asked, pointing to the big tomato vine.

"There are two more plants in front of us. As for the one with a string of green fruits, it suddenly grew out half a year ago, but only when the fruit is red can we eat it."

"You'll have a stomach ache if it's not cooked. Fifth Brother tried it." Lin Chen added.

Lin Xing: "…"

Of course, tomatoes can't be eaten green.

After that, Lin Mo followed them around the fruit orchard. The planting of fruit trees in the fruit orchard was quite neat. The land was divided into square areas. After browsing, Lin Mo found that there were some differences between the ancient fruit and the past. Some fruits were obviously modern or imported from abroad, but they could be planted on a large scale.

Lin Mo didn't know if other crops were so advanced, but he could be sure that this was not a historical period. Maybe it was a dynasty period.

After a round of eating, Lin Mo and his two younger brothers went to the bottom of the cliff to pick grapes, which were the purple sour, sweet wild fruit that Lin Xing mentioned before. Because the grapes here were wild and grew on the cliff wall, they had some big fruits. For a teenager like Lin Mo, it was just the right height.

After looking at it, Lin Xing could make sure how to make money. There were many fruits here. There were ready-made materials since they could make money on wine, not to mention other fruits.

Chapter 4: Eldest Brother's Accident

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Lin Mo used to be a young master of the Lin family in his previous world. The Lin family had access to a lot of information since it had lasted for more than ten generations. Although they began to decline in Lin Mo's generation, a thin camel was still bigger than a horse.

In the past, the Lin family was not the most powerful in Shangjing, but they were able to achieve mutual checks and balances. There were many industries the Lin family were involved in, but there was no doubt that they were the leaders in wine. They were the most famous for their winemaking ability. The Lin family had a vineyard where all kinds of grapes were planted. Lin Mo often played there with his Second Brother when he was a child.

However, his Elder Brother would pick grapes to eat, while Lin Mo was more interested in planting grapes and making wine. Lin Mo liked eating, so he was interested in cooking and the production process behind the food. So when he chose a major in University, he chose a major in food production regardless of the opposition of his family.

For this reason, Lin Mo also made a fire in the Shangjing circle.

After knowing that there was a large orchard his family-owned and that it was abandoned, Lin Mo thought of making money using the fruit. At present, he wanted to pound the fruit into wine first. After all, he was good at it.

He didn't know how to tell his family since it was impossible for Lin Mo to do it alone. He had to find a way to tell them when he went back. Lin Mo was thinking about this while picking grapes.

Lin Mo, immersed in the excitement of preparing to make money, had a trace of vitality and youth.

After picking a basketful of grapes, the three went back home. Before leaving, Lin Mo asked his two younger brothers to dig up the chilies and colored peppers they had found before, as well as several kinds of plants that could be used as seasonings when wandering in the fruit orchard. These plants would be grown in his own garden.

The tomato vine tree was too big to move back. Lin Mo could only cut off a few branches and throw them into his spiritual space. Although he knew that his tomato planting method was not correct, Lin Mo still wanted to try the effect of spiritual water on plants.

"Fourth Brother, let me carry it." Lin Xing was worried.

They still didn't know the condition of their Fourth Brother's body. What's more, he had a serious illness just a few days ago. Now he must be very weak after recovering. They kept looking at Fourth Brother's face.

"I'm okay. Only half a basket is not heavy. Let's go back quickly." Lin Mo shook his head and took the lead.

The three of them left in the morning, and what fruit they ate at noon was not filling, so Lin Mo was starving and suffering. Lin Mo tried to ignore the discomfort and continued on his way.

The original owner hadn't been hungry often. This feeling of hunger made his stomach ache, and Lin Mo felt a little lost. The body was weak, and Lin Mo still wanted to exercise, but he couldn't bear to walk for a few steps without breathing hard. This weak chicken would not live long at the end of the world.

Fortunately, Lin Mo drank spiritual water this morning. After a day, his physical fitness had improved a little.

"Fourth Brother, give Fifth Brother and me some of the things in your basket." After walking for half a mile, Lin Chen watched his Fourth Brother's steps slow down, and his face grew paler and paler. He was worried. His mother had said she wanted them to watch him before.

"Ah, can you still carry it?" Lin Mo stopped, wiped the sweat off his face, and gasped.

Lin Mo underestimated his level of weakness. His intake of spiritual water needed to be increased.

"I have room in my basket." Lin Xing turned around and asked Lin Chen to move the things in their Fourth Brother's basket to their baskets. Lin Mo saw that both of their baskets were full and pursed his lips.

Lin Xing saw that his Fourth Brother was unhappy and so he comforted him quickly. "Fourth Brother's strength is much smaller than that of a man. Don't be unhappy, Fourth Brother."

"Fourth Brother is the only ger in our family and is frail. Second Brother said that Fourth Brother is used to being spoiled." Lin Chen said with a smile, his ears were red, and he was a little embarrassed.

If it was not for Lin Mo's illness, he could go out for a walk, but Mama Lin wouldn't let him go out far. Lin Mo's heart trembled, and his eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes. Once, his Eldest Brother and Second Brother said the same thing, but after the end of the world, no one spoiled him.

But weren't they all men? Why was everything divided into brother and man? 1 Was it according to the strength of the body? It seemed that there were a lot of strange things in these ancient times, which must be made clear as soon as possible.

Lin Mo guessed part of it right. It was true that a man could be distinguished by his physical strength, but that was not the essence of the distinction.

The three came home with baskets on their backs before dark. Lin Mo asked them to put the baskets of grapes in place and go into the room to change their clothes. Lin Mo's back was wet. If he didn't change, he would catch a cold easily and wouldn't be able to get out of bed and walk. Lin Mo didn't want to lie in bed again.

Lin Xing and Lin Chen planted the plants in the garden and picked a handful of vegetables along the way. Lin Mo had just changed his clothes to go out, but he heard a noise coming in from outside, including the panicked voice from Mama Lin, who he was familiar with.

Lin Mo hurriedly opened the door and stepped out of the room. All the noises rushed into his ears and disturbed his brain.

"What's the matter? My God! Why is Cheng'er so badly hurt?" Mama Lin was shocked when she saw so many people coming into her house, but when she saw her eldest son coming back with his back covered in blood, her face turned white.

"Come on, move to the house first. Has someone gone to get the doctor?"

"The doctor was already asked to come. Go and get hot water ready." Father Lin gave orders and walked in quickly.

A strong man walked into the room with Lin Cheng, the eldest brother of the Lin family, on his back.

Lin Mo was standing at the door of the room, looking at all the things in front of him without any expression on his face. Mama Lin was at a loss. She talked intermittently and was obviously frightened by this situation.

The two little guys sat in the yard and cried loudly. There were many villagers standing in the yard, some of them obviously came to see the bustle, and many of them kept pouring in from outside. The crying of the children, the look of the family at a loss, the loud voices of the villagers, all of these poured into Lin Mo's brain.

Lin Mo was in a trance for a moment because of the bloody appearance of Lin Cheng, and his brain was screaming with pain. Lin Mo only felt that his head was about to explode. Lin Mo bit the tip of his tongue, swallowed the sweetness in his mouth and walked over with his stiff legs.

"Lin Xing, go to the doctor. Lin Chen, boil hot water. Mother, you and your sister-in-law make those people leave our house first. It's too noisy and messy." Lin Mo's quiet voice seemed to give them backbone. Lin Xing nodded as he wiped away his tears and ran out of the door quickly. Lin Chen walked into the kitchen with a pale face and red eyes.

"Brother Mo, your eldest brother, is going to be okay. isn't he?" Mama Lin's lips trembled, and her face was pale.

"It will be okay. Make the villagers go back first. Sister-in-law, go in and see if you can help."

They were obedient to their respective posts, Lin Mo also went to pick up the crying children and sat on a stool. Lin Mo consoled, "Don't cry, your father will be okay."

The two children sat on Lin Mo's lap, one on each knee, holding Lin Mo's clothes in their hands and crying, their faces turning red.

"Fourth Uncle… Hiccup… Daddy… Blood…" Lin Xiaoya cried as she hiccuped.

"Dad is… is about to die…" Lin Xiaonan cried, his eyes full of fear.

"Waaa Daddy… Hiccup… Don't die…"

"Your dad won't die. Don't cry." Lin Mo bowed his head and comforted them with no expression. His pupils were dark and obscure.

It wasn't long before Lin Xing led the doctor inside. As soon as Mama Lin saw the doctor had arrived, she hurried him into the room. Everyone else went in, and Lin Mo and the two children were left in the yard.

The two children cried until they fell asleep. Lin Mo comforted them mechanically.

After the doctor came out, Father Lin also left to buy medicine. Lin Mo asked Lin Xing and Lin Chen to take the two children to sleep in the room and then went into the kitchen to cook. The Lin family was not in the mood to cook, but they couldn't be hungry at this time. Lin Mo could only do it himself. Fortunately, there was still fire from heating up the hot water.

After Lin Mo finished cooking, it was completely dark, and Father Lin, who went to get the medicine, came back.

Lin Mo entered the room and saw Lin Cheng lying on the bed with no blood on his face. His breath stopped for a moment, and his white lips were pursed.

"Eat first." Lin Mo said in a low voice.

"Cheng Yan, stay for dinner. Thanks for your help today."

"No trouble, I'll go back first." The young man, who was called Cheng Yan, shook his head and refused.

"It's so late. You have to cook your own food when you go back. It's already done here." Mama Lin said with a forced smile, though she was pale.

"Mother, make the others go back and change clothes. It's time you come over to eat dinner." He said this without expression. Lin Mo glanced at the man standing aside. The blood on his clothes was dry. Cheng Yan glanced at Lin Mo, nodded to them and left.

The other people left the room to eat. Sister-in-law Lin was really not in the mood to eat. She went to the kitchen to cook the medicine. Everyone except Lin Mo ate the food, feeling that it was tasteless.

According to Father Lin, he and Lin Cheng went hunting in the mountains. Unfortunately, they met a boar. Boars were a dangerous thing even in modern times, let alone in ancient times with backward weapons.

Even though Lin Cheng was one of the best hunters in the village, he was injured in the end, with a bloody hole in his stomach, and his head was swollen because he hit a tree. Lin Mo estimated that he had a blood clot in his head.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng was carried back in time after he met Cheng Yan, who often hunted in the mountains, and avoided excessive blood loss and death.

Chapter 5: Cooking

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo

"Sister-in-law, go eat dinner first. I'll watch over here."

"… That's troubling you. "Sister-in-law Lin wiped away her tears, stood up, and nodded, before walking out of the kitchen.

Lin Mo stood there for a long time, then went to sit on the stool and looked at the fire heating the medicine can.

In the evening, Lin Mo lay on the bed, listening to the whispers outside the room until only silence was left. Lin Mo thought a lot, but when he thought of another place, what he thought before was covered. He thought for a whole night until there was a distant crow outside the house, and then he heard the crow in his yard.

Lin Mo blinked, entered the spiritual space, and drank spiritual water. After a night's tiredness, Lin Mo soothed his tense nerves.

The tomato branches thrown in yesterday were still lying on the ground. Lin Mo squatted down and dug a few small pits to plant the vines. He held the spring water in his hand and watered them. Lin Mo squatted quietly and watched, and soon the branches sprouted at speed visible to the naked eye, and then they turned into green leaves.

Lin Mo, who had achieved his goal, no longer continued to observe. After leaving his spiritual space, he lay on the bed for a while and got up when he heard something moving outside.

Lin Mo opened the door and walked out of the room. He saw that it was only his sister-in-law. At this time, she was cooking medicine in the kitchen.

When sister-in-law Lin heard the noise, she saw that Lin Mo was the first to get up. She was surprised. "Mo'ger, you're up?"

"Mn, how's Brother?" Lin Mo scooped a bowl of water out of the barrel and went aside to brush his teeth.

"Your big brother woke up in the middle of the night last night. It doesn't look so serious." Sister-in-law Lin said happily. Sister-in-law Lin also stayed in the room yesterday to help. Naturally, she heard the doctor say how serious her husband's condition was. He had a bloody hole in his stomach, and his head had been hit.

In general, it was impossible to save the injured. Since the accident happened, sister-in-law Lin stayed by the bed of Lin Cheng last night. She didn't dare sleep. Fortunately, Lin Cheng only had a low fever and woke up once in the middle of the night.

After Lin Cheng woke up, sister-in-law Lin let out a breath of relief. Being able to wake up showed that he was out of danger. After that, as long as he took good care of his injuries, there would be no big problems.

Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more. After brushing his teeth quickly, he washed his face and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Do you want to make breakfast? I'll do it." Looking at Lin Mo's posture, sister-in-law Lin wiped her hands and stood up. Because of the particularity of his body, Lin Mo couldn't do much, so he hadn't done much cooking.

Although Lin Mo's health had improved a little in recent days, they all knew that the improvement wouldn't last long, so sister-in-law Lin didn't want Lin Mo to make breakfast.

"No, I can cook." Lin Mo shook his head and refused, then started to prepare the materials. Last night's dinner was made by him, so Lin Mo knew where things were.

Considering that there were two three-year-old children and a patient at home, Lin Mo was going to cook a pot of porridge. There was a bag of rice and a slab of bacon hanging beside it.

"A-Chen, come to help make a fire after brushing your teeth." Lin Mo heard footsteps and glanced to his side to see Lin Chen.

"Alright, Fourth Brother. Are you making breakfast?" Lin Chen doubted.

"Mn, why did you get up so early?" Lin Mo asked as he took out all the materials.

It was important to know that, in normal times, people would get up one hour after the rooster crowed. After all, a rural chicken crowed early, and sister-in-law Lin got up to cook medicine. Needless to say, Lin Chen, a ten-year-old child, usually would not get up at this time.

Lin Chen was a little embarrassed. "I couldn't sleep. I got up when I heard the voice of Fourth Brother and elder sister-in-law in the room."

Lin Mo nodded and stopped talking. He lowered his head and continued to process the materials. Lin Mo washed the rice and put it in the ceramic pot. He filled the pot with water and put in a drop of his spiritual spring water quietly. The speed was so fast that people wouldn't notice Lin Mo's action.

Lin Chen saw Fourth Brother had put the water on. After brushing his teeth and washing his face quickly, he went into the kitchen and started the fire.

Lin Mo quickly kneaded dough while the porridge was still cooking, covered the basin with the noodles in it, and went out of the kitchen to pick some vegetables. After going back, he saw that Lin Xing also woke up and gave him the items to wash. He went back to the kitchen to prepare the bacon, washing it, and cutting it into diced meat.

"A-Chen, lift the lid of the pot and stir the porridge. Don't let it stick to the pot." Lin Mo reminded his brother as he packed a bun with meat.

"Ah? Alright, Fourth Brother. "Lin Chen snapped out of his daze after watching his Fourth Brother's quick and skillful action and answered quickly. Lin Chen asked as he stirred the porridge in the pot, "Fourth… Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Chen looked at his Fourth Brother as he made a bun. Although these buns were much smaller than what he was used to eating, they were still made by Lin Mo's hand.

"Making food."

Lin Chen: "…"

Of course, Lin Chen knew that Fourth Brother was making food, but he wanted to ask what he was doing. But seeing Fourth Brother bowing his head and making breakfast without any expression, Lin Chen shut up.

Lin Chen felt that his Fourth Brother had changed a lot recently. Although he talked less, he didn't like to laugh, and he was expressionless all day.

"A-Chen, watch at the fire." Lin Mo ignored the doubts in Lin Chen's eyes and reminded him.

"Ah? Oh, I see." Lin Chen returned to his task and squatted down to put firewood in the stove. He soon threw his doubts behind his head.

Lin Mo was making a small steamed bun, so there were a lot of them, but it was just enough for a large family to eat. The stuffing in the bun was only diced bacon. After wrapping, it was put into a clean bamboo steamer. After putting it in the pot, Lin Xing washed the dishes.

"A-Xing, come here and light the fire. Remember to watch the fire."

Lin Mo saw that the white porridge was boiling and bubbling, and the rice grains were also a little soft after scooping it up. Because a few drops of spiritual water were added, the sweet smell of the rice porridge was completely volatilized, and the smell also made Lin Mo's stomach more uncomfortable.

"Stop putting in the firewood and change it into a small fire."

Lin Mo told Lin Chen to go out of the kitchen to deal with the dirty dishes. There were three people in the kitchen, so it was a little crowded. Lin Mo could only cut vegetables outside.

If the green vegetables were older, it was not too late to fry them. Lin Mo cleaned two pieces of yesterday's hot peppers, took out the washed cucumbers in the vegetable basket, patted them, and cut them into pieces. He sprinkled salt in the big basin and put them into the chopped hot peppers, stirred it, and covered it with another big basin.

Maybe the smell from the kitchen was too tempting, so other people who were asleep began to wake up. Mama Lin took her awakened granddaughter out of the room, and the smell was stronger when the door was opened.

Mama Lin thought that her eldest daughter-in-law was making breakfast. After waiting on her granddaughter to brush her teeth and wash her face, she went into her little son's room and brought her grandson out.

After everyone had washed and rinsed, the white porridge was ready. It wouldn't take long for the buns to be cooked over the fire. Lin Mo sauteed the vegetables and brought them out.

He said to sister-in-law Lin, "When Big brother wakes up, ask him to drink the porridge before he takes his medicine." Lin Mo scooped out a bowl of porridge and put it on the table to cool.

Sister-in-law Lin nodded and brought the white porridge into the room. Lin Mo left her a share of the white porridge and steamed bun, and sprinkled some onion on the white porridge.

"Mo'ger, did you make this?" At this time, Mama Lin also saw who made the meal, but she didn't believe it and asked.

"These are all made by Fourth Brother, who got up early in the morning." Lin Chen first took a small bun and mumbled as he ate it.

"But, how can Mo'ger do this…" Was he well enough to do this? Mama Lin wanted to stop him.

"Mn, eat yours. He is smart enough to do this. What's wrong?" Father Lin took a pair of chopsticks and knocked on Mama Lin's bowl. He was not happy.

"Delicious! Fourth Brother is the best!" Lin Xing chewed a bun and gave a thumbs up.

"Fourth Uncle! Uncle, bun! Xiaoya wants a bun." Lin Xiaoya grabbed the edge of the bowl and pushed it to Lin Mo, who was sitting aside.

"He made it. It's my fault. Mo'ger is the cleverest."

With his family's love for him, Lin Mo was relieved.

Maybe it was because Lin Cheng had woken up and passed the dangerous period. The atmosphere at home was no longer as gloomy as last night, and Lin Mo showed a rare faint smile.

The incident of Lin Cheng's injury in the mountain spread all over Daling Village in the early morning, and everyone talked about it. After all, many people saw Lin Cheng's back covered in blood yesterday.

When Mama Lin went out to wash clothes, other people who were washing clothes on the other side of the river asked her about Lin Cheng's current situation. Mama Lin only smiled at their concern, said a few words, and continued to chat about other things while washing clothes.

The Lin family was a migrant to Daling Village. Lin Mo's grandfather and his wife came to Daling Village to settle down. The former merchants and Daling Village had no strict restrictions on migrants, so they bought more than 30 mu of land immediately after settling down.

Fortunately, as a daughter-in-law, Mama Lin could only give birth to six children in succession over the years. Lin Cheng, the eldest son, married his wife and had a pair of twins.

Lin Xiu, the second son, passed the rural examination two months ago. He would go to the city for an examination next spring, which was one of the reasons why the Lin family was popular in Daling Village. Lin Lan, the third child, a daughter, married into a large family in the town the year before last. Their family and Father Lin had a great friendship in the business world. The two families were also determined to strengthen their ties with marriage. Fortunately, they both saw each other as equals. Lin Mo, the fourth son, had been weak since childhood. He was ill all year round, and half of their family's savings were spent on buying medicine for Lin Mo. Lin Xing, the fifth son, and Lin Chen, the sixth son, were twins.

Although Grandfather Lin had only one son, fortunately, he had six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren in the Lin family, all of whom were well behaved, which made them a prosperous family.

Chapter 6: Making Wine

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo

Lin Mo, with Mama Lin's consent, moved the pot out, poured in a little pickled plum, and then washed the pot several times before soaking it in water. Lin Mo put yesterday's grapes into a basin and washed them, then took out the water and drained the surface with a bamboo sieve.

"Fourth Brother, what are you going to do? Pickling grapes?" Lin Xing asked as he ate the pickled plums from the pot.

Lin Chen helped his nephew and niece as he handed them a grape for them to eat. He was also confused. Pickled grapes? There was so much juice in grapes, and it seemed that there would not be much flesh left after pickling them. Could they still be eaten?

"Making wine."

After all the preparations were finished, Lin Mo waited for the grapes to drain. Lin Mo looked down at his niece, who was licking the grape juice off her hand and took out the half-ripe peaches in the basket.

"Do we have sugar at home?" Lin Mo asked.

At present, the condition was too poor. Lin Mo was completely in a state of 'no martial arts can be exerted when he is free,' so he could only do some simple things.

"Yes, I'll get it." Lin Xing licked the juice off his finger and walked into the kitchen.

"A-Chen, go wash the pot and boil some water."

"Oh." Lin Chen scratched his head. He didn't know what to ask, so he stopped.

Lin Mo rinsed the peach's surface with saltwater, then cut them into small pieces and put them on a plate.

"Fourth Uncle, want to eat." Lin Xiaoya grabbed Lin Mo's pants with both hands and stood on tiptoe to look up at the fruit on the table. Lin Xiaonan, standing next to his sister, though he didn't say anything, looked up at Lin Mo expectantly, his big eyes blinking.

Lin Mo put a small piece of peach in each of their mouths and told them. "Sit on the stool and wait. I'll make delicious food for you."

"Oh," Lin Xiaoya's mouth was stuffed with a piece of peach. Her mouth was bulging, so she could only nod her head and reply vaguely.

Lin Mo looked at them sitting on the stools, carried the basin, and went into the kitchen. Lin Xiaoya chewed the pulp in her mouth with her mouth bulging. After eating, she hummed at the sweetness of the peach.

"Brother, I still want to eat." Lin Xiaoya sat on the bench with her hands on her knees and looked at her brother.

Sitting next to her, Lin Xiaonan thought and then shook his little head and said, "No, you can't. We have to wait for Fourth Uncle."

"… All right." Lin Xiaoya puckered her mouth, rested her chin on the back of her hand on her knee, her eyes fixed on the other side of the kitchen.

Once the water was boiling, Lin Mo put the peach pieces and white sugar in, and stirred until the peaches were soft, and then took them off of the fire. Lin Mo went out of the kitchen with the peach syrup. Lin Chen cleaned the pot, washed several bowls and wooden spoons, and quickly stepped back into the kitchen.

"They'll be served cold." Lin Mo set it aside.

The grapes in the pot had drained completely. Lin Mo cut them one by one and put them in the pot on the stove. Two layers of grapes and one layer of sugar were put in. After a little space was left, water was added until it hit the mouth of the pot, and then was covered with the lid.

Lin Mo moved the pot to the shade of the kitchen, went to the table and sat down to eat the rest of the grapes while the peach syrup cooled, the four children were eating around the table.

"Fourth Uncle, delicious." Lin Xiaonan looked up at Lin Mo, who was sitting, eating grapes. The milky voice sounded tender.

Lin Mo reached for his little head and touched it. He didn't talk. He had put a drop of spring water into the grape water, how was it not good?

"Fourth Uncle, can Xiaoya and brother eat this tomorrow?" Lin Xiaoya asked, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, licking the sugar water off of both.

"Yeah." The twin brother, who was eating with his head down, heard this and looked up at Fourth Brother with a happy face. Then he looked at his sister for a few seconds and continued to eat.

"After a while, I will go to catch fish on the other side of the river. After dinner, I will go to pick fruit on the other side of the fruit orchard." Lin Mo said.

"Do you want to pick grapes?" Asked Lin Xing.

"Not just grapes…" Lin Mo shook his head.

The fruit on the other side of the fruit orchard was almost ripe. If he didn't pick it, they would fall in a few days. Lin Mo thought that, in addition to making wine, other fruits could be made into other fruit products.

"Forget it. I'll ask our parents tomorrow."

In addition to fruits, he had to prepare containers that could store everything. Large ones would be used for brewing. If he sold them, he would have to use containers with a good appearance. He just didn't know if there were transparent containers in this era.

Lin Mo wanted to find a chance to talk to his parents at lunch.

"Save some for lunch." Lin Mo wanted to eat the third bowl, but he saw his two stupid brothers.

Now it was an hour before lunchtime. It was really a loss to have too much. Lin Xing put down his spoon.

After washing the bowl, Lin Xing and Lin Chen grabbed their bamboo baskets and fishing tools. Lin Mo took the rest of the peach syrup into his Elder Brother's room, and the two children followed him.

Lin Mo put the big bowl on the table and said, "A-Xing and I are going to catch fish on the other side of the river. We will make lunch when we come back."

"Ah, this is it?" Just finished cooking Lin Cheng's medicine, sister-in-law Lin stood up and nodded in response, looking at the thing in his hand with some doubts.

"Honey peach syrup, you can both eat it."

Lin Mo had nothing else to say and left. Before going out, he looked at his Elder Brother, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His heart was stagnant.

Now it was the season with the most fish and shrimps in the river, and there were several small rivers in the village. Children often went to the river to catch shrimps and fish for home. Some villagers who couldn't eat meat all year round sometimes went there.

Lin Mo followed his two younger brothers to the river near their home. It was a long time before lunch, and other people were still probably working in the fields, so they didn't meet anyone on the way.

When they got to the river, Lin Xing and Lin Chen took off their shoes and pulled up their trouser legs. They carefully placed their catching tools in the downstream direction of the river.

"Fourth Brother, just watch. Don't come down." Lin Xing was a little uneasy.

Lin Mo had been sick for half a month before because he went down the river to catch fish and got his clothes wet. They dare not let Lin Xing try again. Although his Fourth Brother seemed to be getting better recently, he had to take precautions.

Lin Mo waved, "Okay."

There was no obvious boundary between the river and the ground, but the shallow water was very clear, they could see the pebbles at the bottom. On both sides, there were adult height weeds and some wild vegetables recognized by Lin Mo.

Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xing and Lin Chen, who was bending down to catch fish. He took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and went to the river. He picked the herb he knew, placed a bundle on the ground, and then walked forward.

Cheng Yan, who came back from the town, was carrying something in both hands. When he passed by the river, he heard the sound of splashing water. He glanced at the two children of the Lin family and a boy by the river.

When Cheng Yan was about to look away, he saw the bent young man stand straight. When he saw his face, he remembered that the young man was Lin Mo.

Cheng Yan had lived in Daling Village for a year. He usually didn't have contact with the villagers. He was only familiar with the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Cheng, who went up the mountain to hunt.

Lin Mo was also famous in the village because he was weak and didn't need to work when he was young. He once envied him very much, but because he was weak and easily fell ill, he took medicine in small and large amounts and was often a topic of conversation.

The first time Cheng Yan and Lin Mo met was yesterday. Yesterday, the father and son of the Lin family were attacked by a wild boar on the mountain. Father Lin's body was only scratched because of his son's protection, but Lin Cheng's situation was more dangerous.

Fortunately, when Cheng Yan heard the noise, he got there in time and gave the boar a fatal arrow. Otherwise, he was afraid there would be two seriously injured people besides Lin Cheng.

After taking Lin Cheng back to the Lin family's house, Cheng Yan stayed in the Lin family's house till night. When he was ready to go back, he saw Lin Mo entering the house. Cheng Yan's first impression of Lin Mo was very deep because of his temperament and his eyes. Because he made money by hunting, Cheng Yan often went to the town to sell prey and buy food. He met all kinds of little brothers with different looked and personalities, but Lin Mo was the only one who impressed him.

Although Lin Mo's eyes were very calm, Cheng Yan could see a puzzled look at the bottom of his eyes. At the moment when he saw it, there seemed to be a voice in his heart: those kinds of eyes couldn't appear on a farmer, let alone a ger.

Cheng Yan had only one year's memory, and he didn't have any other memory. However, he knew that his previous identity was definitely not simple. Because of his body instinct and his martial arts, he believed in his intuition.

Cheng Yan took a quick look at the young man standing by the river. He was thin, and his skin looked very white. It might be because he didn't get much sun exposure, but he was paler from insufficient blood color.

Cheng Yan thought that the rumor was true, that Lin Mo was really sick all year round. When his eyes looked at Lin Mo's feet on the rocks by the river, his ears were hot, and his face showed some embarrassment, but it soon disappeared.

Lin Mo, who stood up and put the wild vegetables and herbs aside, seemed to see a familiar plant. He looked at it carefully and found that it was something he was familiar with.

Lin Mo's eyes were bright. This kind of plant only grew near the water, and unexpectedly, he found it here. The most valuable part of this plant was its tuber. It could make a wound heal quickly when the patient ate it and had certain medicinal properties. In the past, because of its small quantity, its price was very high.

Lin Mo's previous life's knowledge was also a result of his father's desire to get better, and he went to look for it. It happened that a person who wanted to cooperate with Lin family had goods in his hand. Lin Mo thought to understand it after his father recovered quickly.

Because Lin Cheng would need it, Lin Mo could bear the pain of stepping on the pebbles and walked quickly. When he heard the strange footsteps approaching, he didn't turn to look.

Lin Mo put his hands in the tall weeds in front of him, found a foothold, and stretched out his feet to walk there. The villagers, whether children or adults, knowing that the big stones half immersed in the water in the weeds, could not be stepped on, because it was easy to slip on them.

However, Lin Mo, as a fake villager, naturally didn't know, so Lin Mo's foot slipped after exerting effort, and his body fell forward when he didn't respond to the situation.

"Ah…" Lin Mo called out in fright and immediately shut up. There was nothing to support him except weeds, and his body was too weak, even if Lin Mo reacted in time, his sensitive body could not keep up.

Falling was inevitable. Lin Mo quickly closed his eyes to prevent the weeds from stabbing into his eyes.

Chapter 7: Conversation at the Table

The next second after Lin Mo gave up struggling, a gust of wind blew behind him, and he was pulled back into someone's arms.

Lin Mo had been very resistant to touching other people except for his family since he was a child, including friends who he played with, and after two years of inhuman torture in the Research Institute, Lin Mo had become mentally aversive towards the touch of strangers.

The Lin family was okay. After all, his eldest brother and second brother here were like the same as his brothers from his previous life, and Lin Mo could easily accept it. So when Lin Mo fell into a stranger's arms, and there was no psychological resistance, Lin Mo's face was surprised, and his brain froze.

The man's scent suddenly invaded his senses. Lin Mo, whose brain short-circuited, didn't think of the smell but felt very relieved. When Lin Mo reacted, the two people moved away from one another, because Lin Xing and Lin Chen, who heard Lin Mo's scream, had run over.

"Fourth Brother, are you okay?" Lin Chen ran over and scrunched his face tightly.

"Fourth Brother, why are you barefoot? The stone here is very slippery."

Lin Mo stepped back and said, "It's all right. I was just careless."

"Brother Cheng." Lin Xing and Lin Chen said hello to Cheng Yan.

The two brothers and Cheng Yan had seen each other several times from afar, but they knew Cheng Yan because their Eldest Brother knew him, not to mention that after yesterday, Cheng Yan had become the lifesaver of their family.

Cheng Yan nodded at them, pausing for a few seconds to tell Lin Mo, "Mn, be careful not to play by the river."

After talking with them, Cheng Yan went back to take the things scattered on the ground and looked at them and left.

He was not playing! Lin Mo was a little depressed about what the man said.

"Fourth Brother, didn't we say don't get close to the river before?"

"I just wanted to pick some wild vegetables… By the way, take the herb with little white flowers on the top home." Lin Mo reached for the one in the grass by the river. Lin Mo specially told him not to damage the root tuber. Lin Xing had no choice but to walk down the river.

After getting the precious herbal medicine, Lin Mo put on his shoes and went back and forth to look for more of it by the river. Unfortunately, he didn't find another one. When they put the fish and shrimp in the bamboo basket to go back, Lin Mo gave up.

"Have you seen this herb anywhere?"

"No, this…" Wasn't it just a weed? Lin Xing saw Fourth Brother's expression and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Lin Mo didn't speak anymore. He tied the picked wild vegetables into a bundle and took them. Lin Xing carried the bamboo basket on his back, and Lin Chen held the tools. Seeing that there was nothing left, the three people went back.

It was time for people working in the farmland to go home. On the way home, many people said hello to them and asked about Lin Cheng. Lin Mo just stopped and stood in silence. Sometimes the topic fell on him, and Lin Mo just laughed in response and didn't talk.

When he arrived home, Lin Mo gave them the dishes to wash, and he went to deal with the fish and shrimp. As a person who loved eating, Lin Mo's cooking skills were very good.

Father Lin and Mama Lin, who went out early in the morning, also came back at this time. They were still carrying things. It seemed that they went to the town to buy things. The two children in the family came from the vegetable field, each carrying a small bamboo basket filled with withered yellow leaves.

Two sets of short legs drew close to Lin Mo, who was squatting in a corner to deal with the fish and shrimp. Her eyes brightening, Lin Xiaoya took her small bamboo basket and turned in his direction. 'Da, Da, Da' sounded as she ran to Lin Mo. Lin Xiaonan saw that his sister had stopped following him.

"Fourth Uncle, you're back!" Lin Xiaoya squatted beside him and said this with a milky voice.

"Mn." Lin Mo continued to process the shrimp without pausing.

"Fourth Uncle, do you want shrimp for lunch?" Lin Xiaonan also squatted on the other side of Lin Mo and asked.

"Mn."

"Fourth Uncle, do you want fish?" Lin Xiaoya looked at another fish in the basin and asked.

"…Mn." Lin Mo continued to deal with the shrimp without expression, but the movement in his hands was a little faster.

"Fourth Uncle, can we eat sweet fruit?" Asked Lin Xiaonan.

"…"

Lin Mo's hands stopped, he said they were going to eat fish and shrimp. Was there any fruit here? Did children's attentions span so much?

"Can we?!" Lin Xiaoya's mouth was wide open, and she looked like she was shocked.

"Fourth Uncle said… It's still edible." Lin Xiaonan's little face was wrinkled.

"… I'll do it for you in the evening."

"Fourth Uncle is the best~" Lin Xiaoya's eyes curved into crescent moons with joy.

"Mn, bestest!" Lin Xiaonan nodded solemnly and looked at Lin Mo with big eyes.

"What did you want to pick these leaves for?" Lin Mo glanced at the leaves in the small basket beside them and asked.

"For the chickens." Lin Xiaonan replied, still squatting aside.

"Then you can go and eat after you feed the chickens."

After the two children left, Lin Mo finally took a breath of relief, washed the shrimp, and put them aside. Lin Mo began to process the fish in another basin, quickly scraped off the scales, and removed the internal organs.

Thinking of two three-year-old children at home, Lin cut some fish slices into thin ones and gave them to Lin Chen to cook them in porridge in order to avoid fish bones.

Sister-in-law Lin cooked before the three of them came back. Lin Mo prepared all the materials. Lin Xing helped watch the fire, and they started cooking. Lin Mo's cooking speed was very fast, and he looked inexplicably handsome. Lin Chen, who was mixing the fish slices in the porridge, looked at him and thought this.

When cooking fish soup with green vegetables, Lin Mo took the time to take a look at how the fish porridge was looking, and then went back to his original position to take off the pot lid and put some ginger pieces in to remove the fishy smell.

Lin Chen picked up the wooden spoon and continued to stir the fish porridge, but he was puzzled. He thought he saw two drops of water fall from Fourth Brother's hand and into the porridge.

Lin Chen looked at Fourth Brother's dry right hand, and the doubt in his heart disappeared. Lin Chen thought that Lin Mo was too suspicious recently, which was what was really abnormal.

When the dishes were ready in the kitchen, Father Lin and Mama Lin put their things away and walked out of the room. Lin Xing took his nephew and niece to wash their hands while Lin Chen took the dishes and chopsticks to the table.

After Lin Mo brought all the dishes out, he first filled a bowl of fish porridge and had Lin Chen bring it to their Eldest Brother's room. Sister-in-law Lin also entered the room with the medicine.

As usual, he left a dish for sister-in-law Lin, and the other family members sat down to eat. The two children in the family were quite clever. They didn't need help to eat; just help putting the dishes in their bowl.

Farmers didn't pay so much attention to eating, and they could talk at the same time. Sometimes the family's decisions were also made at the dinner table.

Lin Mo sat quietly and ate, listening to their chat without making a sound. When the meal was half-eaten, it felt like the timing was right. Lin Mo arranged his thoughts and looked over at Father Lin.

"Dad, the fruit in the orchard is ripe. Shall we not pick it?"

"The orchard? You can't sell it even if you pick it." When Father Lin heard Mo'ger's question, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then answered.

"How about we sell it in other ways?"

"Fourth Brother, you mean… Wine?" Lin Chen asked. The wine made by Fourth Brother in the morning flashed in his mind.

"What wine?" Mama Lin stopped her chopsticks and looked at Mo'ger in doubt.

"Fourth Brother made fruit wine this morning." Said Lin Xing as he shoveled in rice.

"Fruit can make wine?" Mama Lin was completely shocked when she heard that, and the meat clenched in her chopsticks had fallen into her bowl.

Father Lin put his bowl on the table and looked at Mo'ger. He had some doubts in his eyes and thought about the feasibility of using this method to make money.

Although the Lin family had changed from being merchants to farmers when they arrived here, after all, Father Lin was still the only son of Grandfather Lin. Even if he had no business talent, he had been walking around with his father since he was a child, and he had also been influenced.

"Fruit can be made into wine and other things, but I think we can take advantage of the ripeness of the fruit and pick it for a quick brew. We can wait for the next time."

Lin Mo looked at Father Lin fixedly with no expression in his eyes. There was no impatience or excitement of a young person eager to exert his talents, he felt like this was a very common thing.

"How does Mo'ger know that fruit can make wine?" Father Lin asked after a long silence.

After Father Lin asked, all of a sudden, there was silence around him except for the two children who were having a meal and chattering. Lin Xing and Lin Chen felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. They immediately bowed their heads, picked up rice, and pretended they didn't know anything.

"In my dream. I used to dream every night when I was sick, but I forgot about it when I woke up in the morning. I didn't recall it again until I woke up a few days ago." Lin Mo's mood was completely calm, he said this deadpan.

"I thought that Mo'ger of our family would be blessed when he grew up." Father Lin's eyes were red.

Mama Lin had been very sorry for Lin Mo's weakness. If she had not had the accidents when she was pregnant with Mo'ger, Mo'ger would not have to take medicine and suffer from illness in his childhood.

"Mo'ger's cooking is also because of those dreams?" Asked Mama Lin.

"Mn."

"You can do it if you want. Anyway, those fruits are rotting in the fruit orchard if we don't pick them. I'll get you the tools you need after we eat." Father Lin tapped the vegetable basin to remind him.

"Okay." Lin Mo nodded and continued to eat, but he was relieved. He was afraid that they would try to get to the bottom of the story because of the new information. If they suspected him at that time, Lin Mo did not know whether to cheat them or not, but they believed him in the end.

In fact, the Lin family also noticed the recent great change in Lin Mo. Some doubts were made clear now. The ancient people were superstitious, and Lin Mo's change was considered 'mutual dependence of good and evil.'

If it was a disaster to get sick in childhood, then some 'miracles' from dreams were also blessings. So Lin Mo's recent great changes were because he remembered the things in his dreams. The Lin family found this the reason for all the changes in Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was really lucky to be reborn in this family. The family got along harmoniously, and there were no relatives who would challenge Lin Mo's words. Now all he had to do was give them ideas and try to make money.

Lin Mo remembered that his Second Brother needed to get a title. It was very expensive to study, and his two younger brothers were getting older, but they hadn't gone to the Academy. He didn't want them to be stuck at home.

Chapter 8: Going to Town

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo

After finishing their meal and cleaning up the dishes, the Lin family sat down, except for Lin Cheng, who slept after drinking the medicine. The two children were still eating fruit, their eyes watching the adults in turn.

"There are bamboo baskets for fruit, but there are no large ceramic pots at home. Carts can be borrowed from others."

Lin Mo thought about it and asked, "Is there a carpenter in the village? We can customize the barrel if we have one."

In fact, if he wanted to make good wine, it was better to use oak barrels as containers. Tannins and other ingredients in oak barrels could improve the quality of wine and help with aging. If he wanted to make the wine mature, the oak barrels were indispensable.

But if he wanted to make a wine tasting only of grapes, he would use containers such as ceramics and glass, but Lin Mo wanted to make a mature wine quickly.

Through the conversation just now, Lin Mo found that the people here hadn't tried to make wine with fruit. Even if they had, it hadn't appeared in the market. It should only be made by those rich people who were idle and bored.

Fruit wine was very easy to make. Once Lin Mo sold the first batch to make money, someone would definitely follow the trend to make money. Almost every family in Daling Village had fruit trees, and when they saw that the Lin family was making money with the fruit, they would certainly follow suit.

So as long as the flavor of the Lin family's fruit wine was different from that of the others, then the others would remember it, and they could promote it to make a brand.

Besides, Lin Mo wanted to make wine, not only because he was good at it, but also because the grapes were only grown on the cliff wall of their fruit orchard. It was estimated that Lin Mo was the only one in Daling Village who could do so.

Lin Xing, who sat listening to them, said, "Uncle Zhang is a carpenter in our village. We can go to him."

Lin Mo nodded and then began to talk with them about the arrangements after that. When everything was in order, they began to act.

Mama Lin and Lin Xing went to borrow two carts from people in the village. Actually, Lin Mo wanted to borrow a cow to pull the cart, so it would not be so hard, but, in ancient times, farmers seemed to think that cattle were more important than life. It was almost impossible to borrow cattle to pull a cart.

Father Lin went to carpenter Zhang to request two big barrels. Lin Mo also roughly told Father Lin about the specific structure of the barrels. Lin Mo planned to go to pick all the grapes tomorrow morning, and then, while he started to brew them, the others would continue to pick other fruits in the fruit orchard.

Although Lin Mo didn't want to rush like this, most of the fruits in the orchard were fully ripe. If he didn't pick them quickly, they would surely fall off in a few days.

In addition to making grape wine, Lin Mo intended to make other fruit wines or other fruit products, such as dried fruit, canned fruit, or other fruit sweets. After all, some fruits in the fruit orchard were not suitable for making wine, but Lin Mo felt that it was a pity for them to rot in the fruit orchard if he didn't pick them.

They ordered two big barrels, two medium ones, and twenty small ones for the time being. There were more than ten kinds of fruit in the orchard owned by the Lin family. If they were all turned into wine, it might not be enough. The good thing was that they would only use a part of it. Lin Mo wanted the big barrel by noon tomorrow since the others could be delayed a little later. After all, tomorrow, he needed to deal with the grapes he picked.

Fortunately, carpenter Zhang's family had an eldest son, who was also a carpenter. When the father and son started work together, there was enough time.

When Mama Lin and Lin Xing came back with the carts, Lin Mo followed them into the town to buy other materials needed to make fruit wine, and along the way, looked for other ways to make money. It would take a while to make money off of the wine. Winemaking was a long-term plan to make money. Lin Mo still needed a quick way to make money.

Lin Mo was good at cooking, but he couldn't be a cook in a restaurant. Besides, even if he was willing to go to someone else's restaurant, they may not be willing to accept him. After all, he was a country boy now.

Lin Mo followed Mama Lin, and they went to the village entrance. There was a donkey cart carrying people to the town. It was a sunny afternoon, and most people wanted to go to the town in the morning, so there were fewer people taking the donkey cart now.

Lin Mo straightened the straw hat on his head and followed Mama Lin. They got on the donkey cart with some older aunts. Lin Mo sat beside Mama Lin in silence, and Lin Xing was on his other side.

As soon as they got on, the ladies began to chat with Mama Lin. There were many things that peasant women could talk about together. They were just chatting about their family routine, the harvest of their land, and the marriage of their children.

"Mn, Auntie Lin, your ger is about fifteen years old. I haven't seen you find him a marriage partner yet. If he hasn't married by the time he turns sixteen, he will be assigned one by the government."

They chatted and talked about Lin Mo's marriage with him sitting beside them. When he heard them say that 'your boy needs to marry someone,' his brain suddenly went blank. 1

Get married? What strange place is this that he should marry a man?

Aunt Wu, who had a better relationship with Mama Lin, explained, "Auntie Lin, I'll tell you that most of the government's picks will be divorced or widowed. Most of the families have children. This is what one of my relatives in the government told me. Many people don't know about it."

"That's what happens?!" Mama Lin was unbelieving. After all, many people in Daling Village married early or had married within the time limit set by the government, so people in the village didn't know about this.

"While there is still more than a year to go, you should find a good family for your little ger. Your little ger is beautiful and delicate. He won't be spoiled by bad people." Said the aunt with the bamboo basket on her arm.

It was not wrong to say that Mo'ger was beautiful and delicate. The Lin family were all very good looking. Although they were not the kind of people who would find something amazing at a glance, they were patient.

Take Lin Xiu, the second son of the Lin family. If the scholars who took the imperial examination were not influenced by the unified distribution of the government in their marriage, Lin Xiu should have married as early as eighteen years old. Many girls in the village had been thinking about marrying into the Lin family before.

And when they saw Lin Mo, a little ger of the Lin family, who was not often seen in the village, with his white skin, slim body, and good-looking face, they thought it would be a pity for such a little ger to marry a widower.

They also heard that little ger Lin's body was weak from childhood. Wasn't it just that he had a delicate body? If he had to marry those divorced men and work for them, he wouldn't be able to last.

"We should have thought of it earlier…" Mama Lin nodded in response. But she was very worried. Mo'ger's body was not good. No one would like to marry a ger who couldn't work.

Before, Mama Lin didn't know the internal information about the unified distribution of the government. Before, she thought that if she couldn't find her son a husband, she would have to obey the unified distribution from the government. At least, the 'unified distribution of the government' was mandatory, and her son would have to marry whether he wanted to or not.

But now Mama Lin was not willing to let Mo'ger marry into those families and suffer. It seemed that she had to discuss this with her husband after getting back, or let her daughter in town pay attention to whether there was a suitable family for her brother.

Lin Mo's brain was a little confused now. What little 'ger' 2 needed to marry? What kind of man did he need to marry? What was this 'government unified distribution'? Were the ancient times so powerful? Why did he have to marry when he was a certain age? Did the government still want to find him a husband or wife?

Lin Mo thought to himself that he had to ask his mother when he went back. What he had no doubt about, was life itself.

When they got to the town, Mama Lin and others got off the cart and separated. Lin Mo didn't think about what happened just now. He followed Mama Lin and observed his surroundings. It was afternoon now, but there were still many people in the town. There were many vendors on both sides of the road, some of them were food stalls, some of them sold women's jewelry. The shops on both sides sold food, oil, salt, or some rouge powder.

In a word, all the things that needed to be bought could be found in the town. Lin Mo also noticed a strange place. Some men's faces were even powdered, and some of them looked very strange.

Lin Mo slumped and looked at those people, and he found that most of the people who wore the powder were thin and short. What's more, Lin Mo's three views broke when he saw several men with big bellies. No, Lin Mo was sure that they were not 'men.' They should be a kind of man that were called 'ger.'

"Mo'ger, do you want to buy…rouge powder? You are the only ger in the village who hasn't painted your face. Do you want to buy some?" Mama Lin, who paid attention to her ger, saw that he was staring at them, so she thought that he envied the other little gers.

"No… I should not use those…rouge powders with my body." Lin Mo refused, his face a little stiff.

Mama Lin thought about it and said, "Then we can buy some jewelry for you. Our little ger is so beautiful. You'll look better if you wear jewelry on your body."

Lin Xing, who was walking beside them, said, "Fourth Brother looks better than the others!"

In Lin Xing's eyes, his Fourth Brother was the best looking in the village. Other gers were not as white as his Fourth Brother. Even if they were as white, they were not as good-looking as his Fourth Brother.

What was the use of a good-looking man?! Ah, maybe he was not a man anymore… Lin Mo suddenly felt really tired. "Sigh, we're here to buy winemaking materials, not jewelry, and so on."

"Mn, next time I'll buy some for Mo'ger," said Mama Lin with a smile. She showed sadness in her eyes. If it wasn't for her eldest son's accident, she would have money to buy things for her ger.

Lin Mo, "…" What was going on in her brain?

Chapter 9: A Ger Needs to Marry

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Sulo

At dusk, there were still many people in the town, and those who wanted to go back to the village also started to rush back. Few people were reluctant to pay the fare since they could only carry a few things. Lin Mo bought all the things that needed to be prepared, and the three carried everything in the bamboo baskets as they waited at a designated place and waited for the donkey cart to go back to the village.

When they got back to Daling Village, the sun was half set and it was time to cook dinner. Lin Mo put down his things and went into the kitchen. He looked around and went out.

He took out the precious medicinal materials he had found in the morning, washed them and cut them into pieces. He then put them in the earthen pot, added rice and water to make porridge. In order to make the herbs fully effective, Lin Mo dripped a drop of his spiritual water into the pot.

Two of the most serious injuries that Lin Cheng had were his stomach injury and his head injury. The stomach injury would recover after time, but blood stasis in the brain was hard to fix. In recent days, Lin Cheng woke up once or twice thanks to the spiritual water.

It was the medicine that sped up the healing of the wounds on the stomach but the wounds on the head could only heal slowly. The spiritual water was too strong and even for Lin Mo, who had been drinking it for four years, his maximum limit was one mouthful. Those who were not that spiritual space host could barely deal with one or two drops.

Since they were precious medicinal materials, Lin Mo took part of them and left them in his spiritual space in case someone was injured in the future. Lin Mo divided the land in his space to leave a small part for planting.

Moreover, with the fast growing effect, the plants could also be used to make money by planting and selling the herbs in drugstores.

Sister-in-law Lin's cooking skills were very good, which was what Lin Mo thought when he ate the first dish in this world. Although it was not as amazing as Lin Mo's cooking, it was also appetizing.

Since every meal for Lin Cheng contained some spiritual water from Lin Mo, Lin Cheng woke up in the afternoon. Now, he would not sleep again until after supper, but because he was still weak, he could only lie in bed and be fed by sister-in-law Lin.

After dinner, Lin Mo stopped Mama Lin when she was about to go back to the house to rest.

"What's the matter, Mo'ger?" Mama Lin asked as she walked into his room and sat by his bed.

"Mother… Do I have to marry?" Lin Mo's head was slightly lowered, and she couldn't see his face.

Mama Lin was shocked. She remembered that because Mo'ger seldom went out because of his body, he didn't know much about his situation, and she didn't have time to talk about it with Mo'ger. Mama Lin touched Mo'ger's head and said softly, "Yes, don't you want to find a husband to take care of you?"

Lin Mo's body froze for a moment because of her contact, but he also relaxed quickly, which made her think that his discomfort was an illusion.

Find someone to take care of him? Perhaps this idea had existed before the end of his previous life, but Lin Mo didn't tell his family about his sexuality. He had considered the position of the Lin family in Shangjing and the future of his eldest brother in the army. Because of his personality, even if he liked a man, he could only fall in love with him secretly. He didn't dare tell him. Lin Mo's brain was in a bit of a trance. Now he had forgotten the face of the senior who he had fallen in love with secretly in high school.

If he didn't deliberately search for memory, Lin Mo didn't even know that he had loved someone secretly. The man had had a bad attitude towards him. Lin Mo couldn't imagine why he secretly loved that kind of person in high school.

In Lin Mo's opinion, that handsome man, in the eyes of schoolgirls, couldn't live for long in the end of the world. At most, they would live for a year. After all, people like him were taken into the Research Institute for slicing research a year later. If he did not have his spring water, he was afraid that people like him, who had no power to bind a chicken, would not live for such a long time.

What's more, after the end of the four years, Lin Mo's broken heart had become numb. Did he still have the ability to like someone with his heart? Even now, his kindness to the Lin family was based on his previous family. Otherwise, how could Lin Mo open his heart to strangers so quickly, even if he now had their son's body?

The betrayal and hurt from his previous life made Lin Mo understand that no one but his family would love him. Even if some were good people, Lin Mo did not want to be hurt because of a small probability.

"Then… What is the unified distribution from the government?" Lin Mo asked after a long silence.

Looking at her child's lowered head, Mama Lin did not know what he was thinking. She sighed and began to explain to Lin Mo.

When the former Emperor was still a child, because of the war between the state of Yu and other countries, the country's population suddenly shrank a lot. Although they won, the state of Yu also suffered a lot. Therefore, a new law was issued in court, that is, men, women and young ger and children must marry when they reached a certain age. Those who had not married by the time limit would be centralized and handed over to the local government for random distribution. After distribution, they would marry whether they wanted to or not.

At the beginning of promulgation, this Law attracted the opposition of a large number of people, but the opposition was invalid. In order to rapidly increase the population, in a short period of time, the state resolutely implemented this law. The people gave up after knowing the result of their opposition. Anyway, the age limit for marriage was almost the same as that of the previous marriage law, except for the fact that 'when the time limit has been reached, the marriage will be arranged by the government in a unified way.'

However, after two dynasties, the population of Yu gradually increased, and the 'time limit' law also changed a little.

One could marry when they were an adult, but the 'time limit for being single' was twenty for men and sixteen for women and young gers. However, some large families or relatives of the royal family could postpone marriage until the age of eighteen, as long as they had money or power. Since they didn't want their marriage to be arranged by the government for a person they didn't like, many families would find a good family for their children as long as they had grown up.

Until now, the unified distribution of the government was used for gangsters, widowers or divorced people with children. However, only a few people know about this inside information, at least the farmers or the people who had no money or power did not know. Therefore, no matter what, there was no one who did not stay unmarried for life. Even if they were divorced or their loved ones died, they had to find another partner within a few years.

Of course, these hard rules had little impact on the rich and powerful or the relatives of the emperor. After all, many men not only had a wife, but also concubines.

"In the past, Mother didn't know that the people in the 'government distribution' would be these people, so I didn't worry much. But now I know, Mother doesn't want my Mo'ger to get married to those families to suffer. Mo'ger has been held in our hands from childhood to adulthood. Even if you want to marry later, you need to marry into a good family."

Lin Mo lowered his head further and let Mama Lin hold his hand as she talked. Although there was no expression on his face and no emotion could be seen, Lin Mo's heart was turbulent at this time.

This sentence was very familiar to Lin Mo, which made him want to cry.

[Our little prince is afraid of falling into the wrong hands and melting. Hahaha! Come on, Second Brother, grab him…]

[Second Brother, are you going to give me a hug?]

[If someone bullies you in school, tell me, Brother will help you beat him…]

[Brother, they all bullied me…]

Lying on the operating table all day long, there was only a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, everything else was replaced with numbness and emptiness, but it soon disappeared…

[Mommy's darling, smile again. Mommy will take a picture for you…]

[Mom… I can't smile again. Sorry…]

Lin Mo was in a trance. He seemed to hear his mother and brothers talking and laughing.

"… We are not in a hurry. We have more than a year to go. Mo'ger can look for your partner carefully. If you find someone you like, you can marry. But we need someone who will not hurt you. Mo'ger needs to be spoiled for a lifetime. Before marriage, the family spoiled you, after marriage, your husband will spoil you."

[Our little Mo'er is going to be spoiled all his life. He is so soft and cute! Forget it, even if you don't get married, mom and dad will keep you all our lives!]

Lin Mo felt that his heart was being strangled for a moment, and he could hardly breathe.

"… okay. I'll look." Lin Mo couldn't find the words. Lin Mo didn't hear what Mama Lin said after. He just gave a low answer when Mama Lin asked him. Even when Mama Lin left, he didn't realise it.

Mama Lin went back to the house, took off her shoes and lay on her bed. Father Lin turned over and lay on his back. "What did Mo'ger ask you?"

"Old man, it's time for us to find a good family for Mo'ger."

"Huh? I haven't heard you say that before. What happened?" Father Lin opened his eyes and looked at his wife lying beside him, wondering what happened.

Mama Lin sighed, and then told him the news that she heard today, as well as some unusual behaviors from Mo'ger just now.

"Ah…" When Father Lin heard this, he was a little angry, but he was more grateful that they knew it now. It was not too late… It was not too late.

"There is still more than a year to go. We should pay more attention. If we find a suitable family, let Mo'ger have a look. There will be a suitable one." Mama Lin said.

"Ah, let him have a look." Father Lin added.

"In fact, I would like to have Mo'ger marry close. It's better for us if they live in Daling Village. I'm afraid he will be bullied if he marries far away. No one can help him." Mama Lin was worried. Mo'ger was too soft and didn't speak very much. He wanted to carry everything on his own. Mama Lin was worried about what to do if Mo'ger was wronged at his husband's house.

Mama Lin felt that it was useless for her to worry, so she said her worries. It was better for two people to think about something than one.

Father Lin thought for a long time and said, "I think I know a man whose age is almost the same as Mo'ger's and whose conditions are basically in line with what you said."

"Who?"

Chapter 10: Grape Picking and Wine Making

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

It was very early in the morning during summer, and the people in the village were used to getting up after dawn. The barking of a dog made Lin Mo, who was lying in bed, come back to his senses. Slowly turning his head to look out the window, Lin Mo realized that it was already dawn. Lin Mo entered his space, he had slept with a stiff body for the night and drank spring water as usual.

The tomato branches planted in the space grew into a small tree because of watering from the spring every day. The small tomatoes on the twigs were also ripe. They hung on one by one, which made them look like a string of red grapes in the distance.

Lin Mo broke a cluster off and went to the small 'medicine field' while eating the tomatoes. He had planted the small part that was thrown into the space before. Because he wanted to make them grow faster and grow into a medicine field, Lin Mo had poured a lot of springwater on it.

After getting the seeds, he continued to plant them. After several times of tossing and turning, he made a small 'medicine field.' Since he didn't need to use it urgently, Lin Mo didn't water it with spring water, so he let them grow like this. Lin Mo stood aside and stared at them while eating tomatoes. After finishing the last one, he washed the mud off the bottom of his feet and left.

After washing and eating breakfast, everyone took their tools and left home to go to the fruit orchard. Since there was a wounded person and two three-year-old children in the family, Lin Chen stayed to watch over them.

Since it was a few days later, the fruit on the trees were almost ripe. A few days ago, some green fruits were on the surface. Lin Mo tiptoed to pick a peach, gently wiped off the fluff on the surface and bit into it. The ripe peach juice was very sweet. Lin Mo's mouth bent, and his mood was much better.

In order to make the grape wine, everyone took a short cut to the bottom of the cliff and began to pick grapes. The vines were thick and strong and they must have been several decades old. The grapevines nearly climbed the whole cliff wall. Lin Mo saw that they had picked five baskets and asked them to stop. As for the rest, he gave up. They couldn't pick the grapes at the top, and the ones that could be picked were almost picked.

These five baskets were enough for Lin Mo to brew two barrels of wine. They worked together to carry the baskets with the grapes and pushed them home after loading the cart. Lin Mo went back with Father Lin while the others picked other fruit in the fruit orchard. The cart was not big, and they could only put three baskets in at a time.

The path was not a plain concrete road or asphalt road, but a pothole filled muddy road. When it rained, the road was full of mud. Lin Mo had seen this kind of road before, when he fled to the countryside in his original world.

At that time, it was also raining heavily, and the road was full of yellow mud. Lin Mo walked a few steps and fell into the mud. His whole body was covered with mud and he was a mess.

The road in the village was flat so since the fruit orchard here was deserted, they didn't care much about the road. Lin Mo followed with the help of the cart. The road here was potholed. They could only slow down to prevent the cart from overturning.

Lin Mo looked down at the cart with a white face, thought about it, and asked, "Father, is there no donkey cart in the village?"

It was too tiring to push a rickshaw. Unfortunately, people here didn't use cattle to pull carts.

"There are donkey carts, but those who have them pick up goods or carry people to town. They want to make money with them. How can they lend them to us?" Seeing Mo'ger's face turning too white, Father Lin said quickly. "All right, just walk behind and follow."

Lin Mo couldn't breathe and didn't have much trouble agreeing. He knew the physical gap between them, so he gave up.

Lin Mo loosened his hand and walked slowly beside the cart. Because he suddenly straightened up, his head felt a little congested and painful. Lin Mo's vision in front of him suddenly turned black. It lasted for several seconds before he slowly recovered his vision. During this time, Lin Mo moved forward slowly, seemingly unaffected.

Finally, the pothole road ended. The clothes on Father Lin's back were soaked with a thin layer of sweat, since he was pushing the cart on the road. But his back was straight.

Where the road became even, Lin Mo took over the cart and began to help push it. When he met the passing villagers who said hello or asked what they had, it was Father Lin who responded. Lin Mo just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Cheng, why didn't you go in?" Father Lin, who was about to get home, was surprised to see Cheng Yan standing outside their door not far away.

"Uncle Lin, I just arrived."

Parking the cart at the door, and before Lin Mo moved, the basket on the cart was moved down. Lin Mo looked up and only saw a strong back. It was not long before Cheng Yan walked forward, and they collided.

Cheng Yan glanced at the young man standing beside the cart, who was gasping for breath, and saw his abnormal white face. Cheng Yan's brow slightly wrinkled but it was fleeting.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Can you help me bring in the barrels? I'm afraid that the barrel is too heavy for Mo'ger to move it. His eldest brother can't lift it now."

Cheng Yan shook his head and said, "No problem. I have nothing to do today."

"Dad, Fourth Brother, you're back!" Lin Chen walked out of the room, still holding Lin Xiaoya in his arms.

"Mn, look after Xiaoya and Xiaonan and watch your Fourth Brother, he's too tired. Dad needs to go back to the fruit orchard." Father Lin told him, and then he went out.

"Brother Cheng." Lin Chen said hello.

"Mn, what can I do for you?"

Because a man and a ger needed to avoid suspicion, Cheng Yan didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo rested for a while, washed a bunch of grapes for his nephew and niece, let them sit on a bench nearby, and then began to deal with the three baskets of grapes. Cheng Yan helped to draw water from the well. After filling the water bucket with water, Cheng Yan stood by to watch the young man squatting beside the water basin washing fruit.

Lin Mo cleaned a bunch of grapes and put them on the bamboo colander. He grabbed the edge with both hands and stood up. He had been squatting for a long time and his blood circulation was not smooth. When Lin Mo stood up, he felt that his line of sight was distorted and his body swayed uncontrollably.

"Are you okay?"

There was a low voice coming from his ear, and Lin Mo's ear quivered sensitively.

"It's nothing." Lin Mo murmured, shaking his head in a small way. When his sight in front of him returned to normal, he put some distance between him and the man.

Cheng Yan took back his hand and said with some uneasiness, "You don't look okay. Why don't you rest?"

Lin Mo was shocked and his eyes widened. He was a little surprised by this man's observation ability. It was reasonable to say that after drinking his spiritual water in the morning, other people could not see that he didn't sleep all night, because he had no black rings under his eyes.

Lin Mo often suffered from temporary blindness for a few seconds recently, which was caused by the lack of Qi and blood by not sleeping all night. Lin Mo thought that he could use the spring water to recuperate his body after a month, and his body's constitution should be able to reach what it was in his previous life, at least he would not have the temporary blindness after moving.

"No, it's just physical reasons." Lin Mo denied.

Lin Mo put the bamboo colander with grapes aside to let the water drain, and then went back to wash the grapes. Lin Chen squatted by another basin to help wash the grapes. When Lin Mo was ready to put them in the bamboo colander, Cheng Yan would pick them up and put them aside to dry.

Lin Mo stared for a few seconds, and waited for Cheng Yan to turn around before he lowered his head to wash the grapes.

The cleaning work was very fast. After an hour, all the grapes had been washed and put in the shade to dry. Lin Mo stood aside to stretch his hands and legs which were a little sore. Then he went into the kitchen.

Before long, Lin Mo came out with a bowl of herbal tea and put it on the stone table. He asked them to come over and drink tea to quench their thirst. Lin Mo made Lin Chen brew the tea before going to the fruit orchard. Now it was cool.

The leaves floating in the tea were mint leaves, which were usually grown near the pond, river bank, and other places. Lin Mo picked the mint leaves from the river before.

"Cool~!" Lin Xiaoya took a sip. She was stimulated by the unique cooling element of the mint, and her body trembled. Then she looked up at Lin Mo and gave a hum.

After taking a drink, Lin Xiaonan puckered his face tightly and spat out his tongue, trying to drive out the cold air in his mouth. Lin Mo touched Lin Xiaonan's head but didn't say anything. After drinking a bowl, Lin Mo finally got rid of his sleepiness.

God knows why he suddenly wanted to sleep. If it was a normal day, Lin Mo would go back to his room to make up for his sleep. After all, the sudden sleepiness was exactly what he expected every night but couldn't.

But there was still a lot of work to do. Lin Mo didn't have time to sleep at all.

It wasn't long before Father Lin delivered the customized cask. Cheng Yan got up and went out to help move the cask in. The shape of the cask used to make wine was the same as that of modern times. Other people who couldn't understand it would feel a little strange when they looked at it.

According to Lin Mo's requirements, Cheng Yan cleaned the wooden barrel several times, then wiped off the water with a clean cloth and put it aside to dry.

Lin Mo moved the drained grapes onto the stone table to put things in the wooden bucket in turn, two layers of grapes and a layer of sugar, while Lin Chen and Cheng Yan continued to wash and drain the two baskets of grapes that Father Lin just brought back.

After the two of them washed the grapes, Lin Mo almost finished the work, leaving a little space in the barrel, and Lin Mo tightened the lid tightly.

"Cheng… Brother, can you help me move this barrel into the house?" Lin Mo looked at Cheng Yan with an unnatural expression.

"Yes, lead the way." Cheng Yan nodded and picked up the barrel full of grapes.

Lin Mo nodded and took him to the granary where the grain was stored. Lin Mo had been paying attention to Cheng Yan. Unexpectedly, this man had such great strength. Also, his body shape was similar to that of his elder brother, who was a soldier in the past. He must have no less strength.
