Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 532

Shen Yanming worked in the field for more than an hour. He was so tired that he threw away the sickle, walked to the edge of the field, and took out a plastic bottle from his black backpack.

I unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. Soon I felt all the fatigue in my body disappear.

That's right, this is the spiritual spring water he prepared for himself. I didn't drink it yesterday because I wanted to test my physical limits.

As a result, I didn't reach the limit, but I delayed the harvesting time. So I won't try to be brave today, I will use the plug-in when necessary.

He looked up and around, and saw that everyone was working hard with their heads down. He smiled with relief, then turned around and continued working.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Shen Yanming stopped harvesting the wheat in the field. He imitated what he had done yesterday and put the wheat ears in bundles into woven bags, and then cut off the remaining straw with a sickle.

He still didn't care about the damaged ears of wheat. He just wanted to be quick and finished processing all the harvest that day in no time.

Then he put the woven bags at the barbed wire gate and carried the two bags down the mountain again.

Chen Shunwei was a little surprised to see Shen Yanming stop cutting wheat so early. He said hello to his family, put down his sickle and went to help Shen Yanming carry the woven bags down the mountain.

Chen Yanming was busy walking forward, and when he felt the bag in his hand being pulled by someone, he wanted to take action as a conditioned reflex.

As soon as he raised his legs, he heard a familiar male voice, which made him put his legs back down.

However, the movement was too large and the speed of retracting the feet was too fast, causing Shen Yanming's subsequent walking movements to be a bit strange.

Because, it's pulled.

When Chen Shunwei saw Shen Yanming raising his legs high, he thought it was someone else's special way of exercising. Although he was a little puzzled, he was sensible enough not to ask.

Shen Yanming felt a little pain somewhere, so he didn't refuse Chen Shunwei's help. He threw a woven bag to him, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

However, Chen Shunwei overestimated his physical strength. He was out of breath before he had walked far with the woven bag.

While taking a break on the road, Chen Shunwei said, "This sack of wheat is really heavy. If I had known earlier, I would have brought a bicycle here. Although I can't ride it up or down, I can still use it as a tool to transport the sacks, which can save a lot of effort."

Chen Yanming hummed, "Indeed, this Green Lemon Mountain is not too big, but not too small either. I don't feel tired when I take a walk, but if I want to carry something with my hands, I really need some strength."

Although Chen Yanming agreed, Chen Shunwei still felt something was wrong. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I think you are implying something to me!"

Chen Yanming smiled, "You are right to think so! You are a security captain, but you can't even walk 300 meters to carry a sack. Your physical fitness is not good enough!"

Chen Shunwei was stunned for a moment, then he blushed and retorted: "Screw you, I can do it!"

Shen Yanming laughed and stopped talking about this topic.

After a short rest, he recovered. He patted the sack and said to Chen Shunwei, "Let's go. It's getting late. If it doesn't work, I'll do it myself and you can follow me or go back to harvest the wheat."

Chen Shunwei also knew that he was lagging behind, but he didn't want to give up. So he patted his chest and said, "Don't underestimate me, I have practiced before, I can do it!"

Shen Yanming thought it was funny and nodded perfunctorily: "Oh, you can! That's ok, brother, let's go?"

Chen Shunwei felt that he was holding back his anger, but he had no way to vent it. So he vented his frustration on the woven bag, holding on to it and lifted it over his head and onto his shoulders. Then he looked at Shen Yanming provocatively and strode forward.

Shen Yanming smiled, and while he felt that the other party was courageous, he also felt that the vindictive behavior was a bit childish. But no matter what, it was more pleasant than him apologizing or thanking her for getting along with her every time they met.

Shen Yanming carried the woven bag, walked easily to the foot of the mountain, and put it in the trunk.

But Chen Shunwei was originally walking in front, but before he was halfway through the journey, he fell behind Shen Yanming.

He insisted on going down the mountain because it was easier than going up. Otherwise, he would have thrown away his things and collapsed on the ground. But even then, his legs were shaking and he felt like he would fall at any time.

Shen Yanming didn't make it difficult for him. After putting the woven bag in the car, he hurried over to meet him.

The "burden" on Chen Shunwei's shoulders was lifted, and he sat down right there, refusing to move no matter what. It was only after Shen Yanming put the woven bag away and came back to pull him up that he stood up and was supported to walk slowly up the mountain.

On the way, Chen Shunwei felt very embarrassed. He asked Shen Yanming: "Why are you so strong? I'm afraid that without my help, you would be much faster, right?"

Shen Yanming was honest and nodded in acknowledgement: "Yes, with your help today, it took nearly twice as long."

"Yes..." Chen Shunwei instinctively wanted to say sorry, but the words were swallowed back as soon as they came out of his mouth. Because he thought that Shen Yanming didn't want to hear constant thanks and apologies.

So I suddenly thought, "You have to endure it for a long time. I have good intentions."

Chen Yanming smiled and said, "Yes, you mean well, I appreciate it, but I just can't bear it."

Chen Shunwei was relieved to see that he was not angry and was in the mood to joke with him.

After thinking about it, he asked the question in his mind: "Mr. Shen, how did you exercise to have such good physical strength?"

Shen Yanming didn't expect the other party to ask this. He didn't hide it and said, "It's just morning training with Captain Li every morning. You served in the guard team, so you should know it. If there is a trick, it's probably perseverance and persistence.

In today's world, it's hard to ensure that you won't be bullied if you don't have some fighting skills."

Chen Shunwei nodded and thought, "Maybe I gave up training a long time ago, so I only retain the moves of my fists and feet, but I have almost no strength and endurance."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Yanming reminded him: "Since you know those boxing techniques, practice them. Don't let them become fancy moves. They are just for show but cannot protect your family.

Chen Shunwei said in a muffled voice, "I understand."

Having said what he needed to say, Shen Yanming stopped talking about this topic. After all, talking too much would be annoying.

The two walked in silence for a while, and when they were almost at the back mountain, Chen Shunwei remembered the questions he had in his mind when he went to help.

"By the way, it's still early, why did you call it a day?"

"It's late, it's already past three o'clock. It will be dawn at four o'clock. Are you still planning to work in the fields under the scorching sun? Aren't you afraid that your impetigo will get worse?"
