Qǐfēi, a pomegranate spirit, had wished to cultivate to immortality for thousands of years. However, just as she was about to reach the final step, she was struck by lightning, losing all her cul...
"But I haven't finished my work yet." Qifei said with a wronged expression. She didn't want to do it anymore, but she hadn't finished the work assigned to her, and she didn't want to delay everyone's work because of herself.
The village chief just said when he was assigning tasks that we should plant beans once all the land has been tilled. If everyone else has finished tilling but she hasn't, won't that definitely delay the bean planting time?
If this world allowed the use of demonic power, she could turn the land over in a heartbeat. This damned world rule is just too annoying.
Shura glanced at Qifei in surprise, not expecting her to feel a little ashamed on her first day of work.
"I'll do it for you, you sit down and rest." Shura stood up with a cold face, as if Qifei owed him a lot of money, but his words made Qifei burst into laughter through her tears.
She smiled sweetly at Shura, her eyes sparkling, "Thank you, Comrade Shura, you're so kind."
Shura turned and left, while Qifei watched his retreating figure with a smile and chatted with the system.
Oh, look at Shura, he truly is the man I've set my sights on.
[Uh, host, do you still need the medicine to treat your wounds?]
[Don't use it yet. We should make good use of this injury. I didn't expect that the Asuras of this world, who appear cold on the surface, are actually gentle.]
Qifei knew that the ointment in her storage bag would heal her wounds immediately once she used it.
That won't do. Since Shura thinks she's injured and can't work, she'll definitely make good use of this opportunity.
Otherwise, he definitely won't come to help once the wound heals.
All morning, Qifei watched with a smile as Xiuluo, after finishing his own work, helped her turn over the soil.
During this time, the squad leader saw that someone else was doing Qifei's work, and he didn't bother to find out who did it.
These things are all about mutual consent, but I was a little surprised that a village bully would be doing chores for someone.
You should know that Shura used to not even do his own work. It was only after the village chief went to Shura several times that he finally reluctantly agreed to come.
Even so, they only work sporadically, sometimes coming and sometimes not.
There was nothing he could do; after all, he didn't rely on work points for a living.
Today was quite unusual. The squad leader glanced at Qi Fei, whose pretty, fair face wore a sweet smile. It seemed that good-looking people were indeed well taken care of.
If Qifei really has the ability to make Shura work obediently, that would be great.
As soon as Qi Fei sat down, the young and strong men in the team worked quickly and diligently, afraid that they wouldn't perform well enough.
Unexpectedly, Qifei had such an unforeseen role. The squad leader walked slowly across the field with his hands behind his back, wondering whether he should make her a mascot.
The speed and quality of her work this morning would be disgusting even to a dog.
The midday sun became exceptionally scorching, and everyone took a break. After going back to eat, they returned in the afternoon to continue working.
Farm tools don't need to be returned immediately; they can be returned after work in the evening. Therefore, everyone should keep their farm tools safe.
Qifei walked beside Shura, carrying a hoe. Seeing that he was covered in sweat from working, she quickly took out a handkerchief and said, "Comrade Shura, wipe your sweat."
"No need." Shura glanced at the fragrant silk handkerchief and casually wiped his face with his sleeve.
Unfazed by the rejection, Qifei took out another water bottle and said, "Then have some water."
Seeing that Shura was about to refuse again, she looked at him pitifully and said, "You helped me with work all morning, and you won't even let me offer you some water? I really feel bad about it."
Sure enough, when Shura heard Qifei say that, he paused for a moment and silently took the water bottle from her.
Qi Fei smiled and mentally gave a thumbs-up. She knew that Shura was the type of person who would respond better to gentle persuasion than force.
This is true in almost every world, does it mean that Asura himself is like this? That's why he affects each soul fragment. Although their personalities are slightly different, their essence remains the same.
The water was well water that had been boiled, and Qifei added honey to it, giving it a slightly sweet taste that wasn't cloying.
Upon tasting the sweetness of the water, Shura was visibly taken aback, pursed his lips, and ultimately finished drinking it all.
Qifei took the kettle, shook it, and found that there wasn't a single drop left. "You could at least leave me a sip!"
Shura, who was walking in silence, stumbled. Qifei quickly asked, "Are you alright?"
How could nothing happen? What kind of young woman shares a pot of water with another man?
Shura glanced at Qifei and realized that she didn't mean anything by it. She seemed unaware that sharing a kettle between a man and a woman was something only a married couple could do.
I couldn't quite put my finger on how I felt. Was I relieved that she seemed to know little about everything, or was I more disappointed?
The Shura family and the educated youth settlement were in different directions, which disappointed Qi Fei a little. However, she quickly cheered up. It's okay, this is just the beginning, and judging from today's situation...
A sly smile appeared on Qi Fei's face; conquering Shura was definitely just around the corner.
When some of the educated youths returned early to cook lunch, Qifei realized that she had forgotten to borrow grain from the village again.
Since no food rations were being delivered to the educated youth settlement, Qifei felt embarrassed to freeload off them.
The other educated youths, who were starving yesterday, went out to borrow food early this morning and have already left the food at the educated youth settlement.
If you go to borrow food at this time, the people will probably have gone back to have lunch. Anyway, Qifei didn't care whether she ate this meal or not, so she went straight back to her room to rest.
[Hey, why is Shura so kind as to always carry bandages with him?] Qifei shut out the stares from outside the door, and a thought suddenly popped into her head as she looked at the bandages in her hand.
Could it be that this Asura knew he would be in their hands and had prepared for this beforehand?
Otherwise, who would work with bandages on?
Moreover, it's obvious that these bandages were specially obtained from the health station; I wonder how he got them.
However, this did not prevent Qifei from feeling a touch of sweetness in her heart.
"Comrade Qifei, would you like to come out and get something to eat? I can share some of my rations with you today."
It was the voice of the educated youth team leader. He saw that everyone was eating, but Qifei was nowhere to be seen. After asking around, he learned that Qifei had not yet handed over her food rations, so he knew that she must not have borrowed any from the village.
Whether she forgot or felt that if she borrowed the money she wouldn't be able to repay it, she couldn't be left to go hungry alone.
Qifei, who was chatting happily with the system, paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then opened the door.
The youth team leader paused, noticing the bandage on Qi Fei's hand. "You're injured? Should we go to the clinic?"
There is no health station in Xiahe Village; you have to go to a village a little further away.
"No need, it's just a minor injury, it won't bother me." Qi Fei smiled at the educated youth team leader. "Team leader, I won't eat lunch, I don't have much of an appetite. I'll borrow some grain this afternoon and then we can eat together in the evening."
