Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 75

Chapter 75

He Qing was awake.

But she was too seriously injured, and the times she was occasionally awake were very limited. This situation continued for another 3 days before she finally got better.

And it was thanks to Song Xun constantly giving her spiritual water for Song Ye to feed her. Having drunk this water herself and knowing its effects, although Song Ye knew it was unusual, she was smart enough not to ask.

She knew Song Xun’s concerns.

And she knew that these concerns were correct.

When He Qing woke up on the third night, her consciousness was clearly much better. She could even lift her hand with some strength, but that was it.

Her wrists were slender, her skin not pale, but a very healthy and wild wheat color. But at this moment, the frostbite and the several wounds that had not yet completely faded were particularly obvious.

Her hand had just been raised when it fell weakly and was caught by Song Ye, held tightly in her palm.

The warmth of her body was transmitted through the cold palm to her limbs. He Qing’s fingertips instinctively squeezed, but she had no strength, and the force of her grip was weaker than a kitten’s scratch.

She tilted her head slightly to look, her pupils gradually focusing. It was Song Ye.

The subconscious tension relaxed, and there was no trace of the fierce sharpness Song Xun had first seen. Now she was incredibly fragile.

“Song… my… my…”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already told the base. All traces of you here will be completely erased.”

Song Ye lowered her head, her voice extremely low. Afraid that He Qing would have trouble hearing, she deliberately slowed her speech. “I’ve also gotten your points card. From now on, you’ll use my name. They won’t find you.”

“Of course, even if they find you, it’s okay. I’m here.”

Even though Song Ye’s voice was very soft, and even if the other 4 strike team members in the room couldn’t hear, Song Xun, who was sitting by the stove boiling instant noodles, had a very strange feeling.

Both strange and with an undying gossip-loving heart.

Her senses were too keen, so she heard it quite clearly.

Alright, she was a little curious, but that was it.

After another two days, when He Qing’s body was clearly a little better, Song Xun and Song Ye discussed it and decided to go home.

As the two sisters were discussing this, He Qing was still asleep. The other 4 strike team members, who had heard, were all silent.

They had long known that Song Ye would retire after this mission, because she wanted to go back to Xifeng City to find her only sister.

But they didn’t understand. Now that Song Xun was already at the Jingbei City base, why did Song Ye still insist on retiring?

Although they were puzzled and uncomfortable, after so many years together, they undoubtedly knew Song Ye’s personality very well. So although they were reluctant, they didn’t ask any more questions.

This day would come sooner or later.

But speaking of this topic, Song Xun suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Song Ye, who was sitting by He Qing’s bed, and hesitated for a small moment.

Just a small moment. But she thought that hearing this, Song Ye should be very happy.

“Sis, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”

“What?” Song Ye didn’t turn her head.

“There are 6 rooms at home…”

“Okay.”

“There’s only one room that’s not occupied now. It was prepared for you.”

Song Xun could clearly feel Song Ye’s body stiffen at her words. Then she slowly turned to look at her, and her eyes were shining.

Song Xun: “…”

Song Xun’s eyelids twitched. She knew it.

Song Ye bit her tongue hard to suppress the smile in her eyes, gave her an appreciative look, and then tried very hard to put on a hesitant expression, turning and leaning closer to He Qing.

Although Song Xun couldn’t see it, she could vividly imagine Song Ye’s face, a mix of getting a bargain and pretending to be humble.

“I’m sorry, A’He. I didn’t expect this situation. It’s my fault. I should have asked earlier…”

She hesitated. “I know you’re used to being alone, but you’re not safe at the base, and your injuries haven’t healed yet. Why don’t you come back with me? I’m not at ease with you on your own.”

She then said with a feigned nonchalance, “And besides, we’re two female Alphas. It doesn’t matter, right?”

As she was speaking, she remembered something and looked back at Song Xun. “Is it a double bed?”

Song Xun: “…Yes.”

“That’s good.”

Song Ye muttered, “A’He, if you’re not used to sleeping in the same bed with me, I can sleep on the floor…”

What a way to say it. A preemptive strike, a feigned retreat, and shamelessness all in one.

You’ve said it all. What else can she say?

Song Xun covered her face and turned to the side. Ugh, I miss my wife too.

After Song Ye had said this, He Qing didn’t speak for a long time. It was a while before Song Xun heard her hoarse, low gasp.

“…Okay.”

Then she added, “No need for the floor. It’s fine.”

Song Xun secretly turned back and saw that Song Ye’s feet, under the bed, were unconsciously kicking up.

She deliberately interrupted. “Sis, there’s one more thing.”

This time, Song Ye turned back, her eyes clearly impatient. “What?”

“My wife, my two daughters, and I, I forgot to tell you before. They’re soft, well-behaved, and call me ‘Mommy’ every day.”

Song Xun had a cold, fierce, world-weary face, but when she put on this expression, a hint of innocence immediately appeared.

Song Ye: “Huh?!”

Her expression cracked a little. “When did you have a daughter? How did I not know? They can even talk? How old are they?”

“Over three.”

“Over three, but aren’t you only…”

Song Ye immediately realized and glared at her. “You caused trouble as soon as you differentiated? Who’s the mother?”

Song Xun didn’t like hearing that. “What do you mean, ’caused trouble’? Do you even know how to talk? I only have one wife. Who do you think the mother is?”

Song Ye was silent for a moment, then looked up suspiciously. “Did you bully Ji Tang?”

“Impossible. You’re joking. Don’t talk nonsense…”

“Don’t take advantage of Ji Tang’s love for you to bully her.”

Song Xun was speechless. Why did they always say that? She was clearly a good Alpha who loved her wife and daughters and had good morals.

The next day.

Song Xun went out of the base and found a deserted spot, then took out an RV. She turned on the air conditioning and the electric heater, and after warming up the car, she drove to the base hospital entrance.

Song Ye had already packed her luggage.

The cots, electric blankets, and everything else had been packed up. But the remaining charcoal, kettle, and the dozen or so tubs of instant noodles and biscuits in the black bag were all left for her four teammates, which moved them to tears.

In reality, it wasn’t that Song Ye was being deliberately generous. She had asked Song Xun, and Song Xun hadn’t cared.

After saying goodbye to her four reluctant teammates, she wrapped He Qing tightly in a blanket and held her in her arms, then put on her hat and scarf, making sure not a single bit of her was exposed to the cold. Li Qianjin came in to help her with her packed luggage.

The sound of a horn could be heard outside, three short blasts and one long, the secret signal they had arranged before.

Confirming it was Song Xun, Song Ye then carried her out.

Li Qianjin looked at her careful movements and was speechless. “Do you have to be like this?”

The corners of Song Ye’s lips curled up. “Of course, my treasure.”

A one-of-a-kind treasure.

Li Qianjin was clearly taken aback for a moment, then he let out a disdainful “tsk.” “You have the guts to say that when she’s awake?”

Song Ye didn’t say anything.

Since she didn’t say anything, Li Qianjin burst out laughing. The sound of his laughter didn’t stop until he reached the door and ran into Song Xun, who was getting out of the car.

“Shut up. You’re so noisy.”

Song Ye turned back, a bit annoyed.

Li Qianjin immediately laughed even louder. Song Ye got into the car and placed He Qing on the RV bed, then immediately opened the window and threw a black plastic bag of cigarettes at him.

Bang—

It hit Li Qianjin, who was talking to Song Xun, on the head. The hard texture made his head ache.

“Get lost, you.”

With a “thwack,” the car window closed.

Li Qianjin looked at the plastic bag at his feet, speechless. “Look at your sister. What kind of attitude is that? Really, your attitude is so much better. You…”

Song Xun heard the voice and looked back. She was met with her cold, fierce, world-weary face, and Li Qianjin subconsciously stopped talking.

As the RV drove away, he was still marveling at how these two were truly sisters…

He was about to turn and leave when he looked at the black bag at his feet, kicked it, and it was hard. He curiously picked it up and opened a small corner. His eyes immediately widened.

He tucked it into his coat and quickly disappeared.

On the RV, the warm air rushed over, quickly dispelling the extreme cold. Song Ye carefully unwrapped the blanket around He Qing.

It was too hot in the car, and she was afraid He Qing would get hot. After thinking about it, she took off her scarf and hat.

He Qing was not awake yet.

Song Ye settled her in and then sat on the edge of the bed, calling out to Song Xun, who was in the driver’s seat.

“Let’s talk when we get back.”

Song Xun didn’t turn around, just waved her hand to show she understood.

She knew what Song Ye wanted to ask. For example, why was she driving an RV?

For example, where had she gotten such a nearly new RV?

And for example, that strange water?

And the supplies in the black bag?

Song Ye held He Qing’s hand, but quickly let go. She turned to look out the window, at the passing ice and the extreme cold, at the collapsed ruins of the tall buildings, and at the world of ice with only a few floors exposed.

She could even see the passing survivors pointing at the RV, with curiosity, but also with resentment and malice.

“By the way, Little Xun, I haven’t asked you yet. You know A’He, right?”

The 4 strike team members only knew that He Qing’s surname was He. They had always called her Master He. They didn’t know her name, and Song Ye had never told them.

But in the base hospital’s information, where had the name “He Qing” come from?

People from the ancient martial arts world, unless they had no other choice, would generally not cooperate with the base. They rarely came to the base. Although it was possible, if they had really recognized He Qing’s identity, they wouldn’t have let her be hospitalized.

They would probably have killed her directly, taking advantage of her rare moment of weakness to get it over with.

So, ruling out the above, that meant there was someone here who knew He Qing but was not her enemy. And this person, ruling it out…

Song Ye felt it was undoubtedly Song Xun.

“Yes, we met once before.”

Song Xun directly admitted it. There was nothing to hide.

But just by meeting once, you knew her name?

Song Ye’s brow furrowed slightly. She wanted to ask for more details. After all, He Qing’s personality was not very easy to get along with. One was her sister, the other her lover.

And besides, if they really knew each other, why didn’t the two of them talk at the base hospital? It had made her wonder if she had guessed wrong.

But before she could speak, it was He Qing who spoke first. She was too quiet, and it was the same when she woke up.

She had clearly heard the two sisters’ conversation. Her hoarse voice was still a bit weak, but it couldn’t hide her confusion.

“We’ve met?”

Song Ye: “?”

Song Xun: “?!”

Her hand on the steering wheel couldn’t help but tremble, and the entire RV swerved. But fortunately, Song Xun reacted quickly and straightened the vehicle.

But she was speechless.

She had just been watching her sister being so attentive, and had thought that He Qing was not speaking because she was uncomfortable. Had she really forgotten her?
