Lin Yuelan sighed a few times before pushing the door open and entering the house.
The door had no lock because there was no reason for one.
Lin Yuelan entered the hut and sighed again.
The moment she entered, she saw a short wooden stool. A small square wooden board was put on top of a few stones to make a table. On the table were two cracked bowls and a pair of chopsticks.
Behind the table, there was a single bed about a meter wide. It was made of a few wooden boards of different lengths. The pillow was made of some dry grass and an old piece of cloth. In the corner, there was an old black quilt. It was now covered with dry grass to prevent water from soaking it.
On the right side of the bed, there was a small door. Beyond the small door was a simple and crude kitchen. Since the living space was so broken, the kitchen couldn't be any better.
Lin Yuelan went in and took a look. The kitchen was less than two square meters. The stove was built with a few stones, and there was a hole in the middle to place firewood.
On top of the stove was not a pot but a piece of a broken jar, the type that was used to store pickled vegetables. The cracked piece of the jar was the pot to cook.
Once Little Green entered the house, it jumped down from Lin Yuelan's wrist. Thus, a vine with two green leaves fluttered all over the room. He was also inspecting their new house.
Little Green jumped out of a small earthen jar in the corner and slithered up Lin Yuelan's leg like a snake. He crawled to his master's chest and pinned himself there. He sighed in a dejected manner, "Master, this place is poor, old, and dilapidated. How can we live here?"
There wasn't even a complete bowl with a cup to drink water from. It was really too dilapidated. Of course, thirst was not a problem for Little Green. If he wanted to drink water, he could just crawl into the ground, or he could order the other plants to bring him some water.
However, his master was a human. She had to follow normal human rules.
He was now a little regretful that he had transferred his master's soul into this person's body. It couldn't be helped. He had looked through several worlds, and this host's body was the most compatible with his master's soul.
Lin Yuelan and Little Green were telepathically connected. Lin Yuelan could tell what Little Green was thinking immediately.
Lin Yuelan touched Little Green's two leaves, lowered her head, and kissed his bud. The bud turned from tender green to tender red in an instant. Little Green was blushing in embarrassment.
Lin Yuelan said, "It's fine. Life will only get better for us! In the future, we'll build a big house and make it beautiful!"
The host was separated from her family when she was nine years old. Lin Laosan's family didn't care about her at all. It was the village chief and Li Dawei who came to help her from time to time.
After she returned two bowls of blood, Lin Yuelan weakened a lot. She was too weak to work the land she had gotten from Lin Laosan's family. Therefore, she did not have any source of livelihood. These old clothes, old clothes, old cotton sheets, rotten bowls, and pots were all given to her by the villagers before Lin Mingqing's accident. Some of them felt sorry for her.
However, after Lin Mingqing's incident, the villagers stopped sympathizing with her. They were worried that they'd be harmed if they helped her. So the things in the hut were from three years ago.
The village chief often came to give Lin Yuelan food after she was cut off from Lin Laosan's family. However, after his son's incident, the village chief only came once in a while with food to make sure that Lin Yuelan wouldn't die. He didn't want to see Lin Yuelan. Although the accident happened due to Lin Laosan's family, the source of the conflict was Lin Yuelan.
His youngest son had his title removed, and he was paralyzed for the rest of his life. His life was ruined. Therefore, the village chief stopped caring about Lin Yuelan. He did the bare minimum to ensure that Lin Yuelan wouldn't starve or be beaten by the villagers to death.
In spite of that, Lin Yuelan still felt sincere appreciation toward the village chief.
Although the hut was dilapidated and was exposed to the elements, although the objects were old and tattered, everything would improve now that Lin Xinlan was here. Furthermore, she had the space. She only needed to show herself during the day. At night, she could sleep in her space.
However, the hut still needed to be tidied up. She would throw away the trash in a few days.
What she needed was money to get better things.
Lin Yuelan looked at the room again. This bed was a resting place and needed to be fixed up the most.
Lin Yuelan cleaned up all the hay and then carried the bed boards out, intending to wash them. As for those worn-out quilts, she put them in the corner and planned to throw them away in a few days.
She took a large jar and headed towards the riverside to fetch water.
Once Lin Yuelan left the hut, the adults and children who had been hiding nearby immediately approached and looked into the hut. When they spotted nothing value, they spat and then left while cursing.
"Master, a few adults, and children came to our house just now. There were Liu Liujiao, Da Mao Er, Yingzi, Lin Sanniu, and Zhou Guixiang," Little Green said angrily in Lin Yuelan's mind. These people really loved to bully Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan said, "Don't worry about it. We'll teach them a lesson in the future."
After fetching water and washing the bed boards, Lin Yuelan planned to go up the mountain to find some food.
Granted she had the space, but Lin Yuelan still wanted to go up the mountain to see what things could be harvested. She also wanted to transplant some plants into the space.
After her rebirth, even though she maintained her space, most of the living organisms she had during the apocalypse had perished. The rice, the vegetables, the chickens and ducks, they were all gone. There were only a few fruitless fruit trees in front of the house that remained.
She had to regrow her stock.
"Little Green, let's go up the mountain and take a look!" Lin Yuelan said.
"Okay, Master!" Little Green was excited when he heard that. "Since we're going up the mountain, I'll ask my friends to keep an eye on any big prey. We should be able to snag one!"
