Chapter 51: I… I’m Tired
After it was over, Wan Feng didn’t forget to stomp Yuan Jin’s family jewels into ruin. Leaving that thing around would only harm people. Because she had promised not to kill before, Wan Feng used this method.
By the way, during the fight, she had also crippled an arm or a leg of each of the men and women lying on the ground.
Oh, and the men’s family jewels weren’t left intact either.
Looking at Yuan Jin, who was rolling on the ground in pain, Wan Feng’s eyes were as cold as snow, as if she were looking at a dead person.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Can’er, who was sitting in the living room, and walked toward her.
“Can… Can’er.” The two words “Can’er” seemed to burn her tongue, and she almost couldn’t say them.
Zhang Can’er poured her a cup of water and said softly, “You must be tired after fighting for so long. Have some water first.”
Wan Feng looked at the tea handed to her, took it with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp.
“Slow down, don’t choke.”
Seeing Wan Feng’s slightly anxious look, she couldn’t help but frown.
“I was just thirsty.”
“Mhm, but you still have to slow down. Let me see, are you hurt anywhere?” With that, Zhang Can’er reached out and checked Wan Feng from head to toe.
Wan Feng didn’t refuse, just looked at her with a gentle smile.
Zhang Can’er patted her lightly in annoyance. “You’re still in the mood to smile. What about those people outside?”
Hearing this, Wan Feng turned her head and glanced. Some of the people on the ground had either fainted from the pain or had already gotten up and run away.
There was not a trace of warmth in her eyes, as if the gentleness she had just shown Zhang Can’er was fake.
“Splash some cold water, and these people will get up,” Wan Feng’s voice was terrifyingly cold, making even Zhang Can’er shiver.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Feng turned her head and asked nervously.
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “Nothing. It’s just, why is it so cold around you? It’s sunny, and the temperature of your hand is normal. Strange.”
Wan Feng paused. She knew what was going on, but she didn’t know how to explain it. She could only remain silent.
“Bring a few buckets of water. It’s not right for these people to be lying at the door.”
Zhang Can’er didn’t mind what had just happened. She had only mentioned it and hadn’t taken it to heart at all.
Looking at the people lying at the door, she felt very disgusted. This was the big thing she wanted to solve now.
Wan Feng nodded, took the empty bucket, and went to the toilet. The smell inside was indescribable. She thought that she must do a big cleaning when she had time.
After splashing all those people awake, Wan Feng stood at the door and watched them run away like stray dogs.
Yuan Jin stood up, clutching his crotch in pain. After giving the two of them a fierce look, he limped away.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they went to borrow some cleaning tools from Uncle Zhou and cleaned the small house inside and out.
Especially the toilet. In the end, Zhang Can’er couldn’t stand it anymore and ran out.
Afterward, it was Wan Feng who cleaned it up. After all this, the two of them took another bath and cleaned themselves up.
By the time Wang Yang came to deliver food with a cart in the afternoon, neither of them had any appetite. And Wang Yang also helped them take away the garbage.
Zhang Can’er had thought he was being polite, but after understanding, she found out that this was also one of his jobs. So Wang Yang had to cook and deliver food, manage fertilizer and herbicides, and also collect garbage? He probably also had fields to plant. Could one person really handle all this?
“Big Brother Wang is so awesome!” Zhang Can’er couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.
Wang Yang glanced at her and said, “If you need fertilizer or agricultural chemicals, you should come and get them from me as soon as possible, because the warehouse is running low on stock. It might not be until mid-July that we can get a restock.”
Zhang Can’er nodded and smiled. “Okay, then we’ll go over early tomorrow.”
After Wang Yang left, the two of them started to eat. Even if they had no appetite, they had to eat all this food. Food was hard to come by and could not be wasted.
“In a few more days, after the seedlings have grown, we’ll have to transplant them. After the plowing machine has turned over the fields tomorrow, the seedlings should be about ready the day after tomorrow. But I plan to wait another two days. The vegetable seedlings still have to wait a bit. I plan to plant them all at once,” Zhang Can’er said as she looked at Wan Feng, wanting to hear what she had to say.
But Wan Feng just nodded and said, “It’s all up to you,” and then said no more.
“Don’t you have anything you want to ask?”
Wan Feng finished the last bite of her food, looked up, and asked with a puzzled expression, “Is there anything I need to ask?”
Zhang Can’er walked to her side and sat down, frowning. “We’re going to be living here for a long time. Why aren’t you paying any attention? At least learn how to farm, right?”
Wan Feng blinked her eyes, lowered her head in silence for a moment, and then asked, “You don’t think Starshine City can hold out, do you?”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Can’er didn’t quite follow her logic.
“Didn’t you notice anything when you came in? The sound of those Mutants outside the city walls every night is not small. You can’t not hear it. The soldiers have to fight every night and guard the city during the day. They’re already exhausted.
“I don’t know how many soldiers there are in the outer city’s military camp now, but the number is definitely not enough. As long as you observe carefully enough, you will find that the number of soldiers on those city walls is decreasing day by day. And the Federation has not sent reinforcements. Shen Fanmeng must have reported the situation. Then guess why there are no reinforcements.”
Wan Feng took a sip of water to wet her throat. Looking at Zhang Can’er’s tightly furrowed brow, she felt a little reluctant, but she still had to say these things.
“The Federation has no reinforcements coming. I guess either the Federation has given up on Starshine City or has given up on all the towns. This can also reduce the consumption of military strength and make the military strength more concentrated. Or the reinforcements have already been sent, but they encountered problems on the way, so the reinforcements did not come. Or there has been a split within the Federation, and the Federation’s Lord did not get a unanimous vote, so the reinforcements did not come.”
After Zhang Can’er finished speaking, she looked at Wan Feng, waiting for her reply.
Wan Feng nodded. “Your guess is about the same as mine. But there is another guess, which is that the Federation probably has no more troops to send for support. So, Starshine City can hold out for another two months at most, or about a month. I guess Shen Fanmeng will make a move soon.”
Zhang Can’er squinted her eyes and looked at Wan Feng. “So you’ve told me so much just because you don’t want to learn how to farm?”
Wan Feng was stunned for a moment, then her eyes darted away. She stood up and walked toward the room. “I… I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”
“It’s only six in the afternoon. What are you sleeping for? Come out with me,” Zhang Can’er said, pulling Wan Feng out the door.
Wan Feng was pulled and stumbled a bit. After steadying herself, she asked Zhang Can’er, “Where are we going? The door isn’t closed.”
“We’re going to the fields to take a look. I need to check the soil conditions of the vegetable and paddy fields to see if they need fertilizer. We’ll be back in a while. It doesn’t matter if the door is closed or not. Besides, there’s nothing to steal at home.”
When they reached the fields, Zhang Can’er pulled Wan Feng and taught her how to read the soil. This lesson lasted for an hour before they returned home.
Wan Feng had a bitter look on her face. After a simple clean-up, she went to bed.
