Jiang Wu asked, "Is your brother better now?"
Li Qingxuan nodded.
Jiang Wu said calmly, "It's good that you're better. You should still pay attention to hygiene. You always end up looking like a monkey that's fallen into the mud."
Tang Jia, who was standing next to her, greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Chief."
Jiang Wu nodded and smiled, "Tang Jia, right? How's my base?"
Tang Jia quickly replied with a fawning smile, "This place is like paradise! It really is!"
Jiang Wu smiled, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards Base No. 2.
After Jiang Wu left, Tang Jia excitedly muttered to herself, "The leader actually remembered my name! That's awesome!"
As Li Qingxuan watched Jiang Wu's departing figure, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
......
Time passes.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu each led a large group of soldiers out for training.
Even Nangong Wenyao and Ning Chuxia followed, and almost all the vehicles drove off as well.
The entire Jiang Wu's power base.
Only a few dozen soldiers from the field operations battalion remained to guard Base No. 2 and the lakeside camp.
However, despite the lack of defenses, no one dared to attack the Flower Valley base anymore.
Most importantly, Jiang Wu, the strongest among them, is staying in the base!
No one dared to take the opportunity to provoke Jiang Wu's power.
Moreover, those forces led by the Wei family were convinced of this.
Jiang Wu sent out all the people he could to obtain food and supplies.
They were happy to see such a good show.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Wu, wearing a bathrobe, was in the living room playing with the little bird that had grown quite a bit.
This bird is entirely bright yellow, which it must have inherited from its father.
Jiang Wu then named it Xiao Huang.
The pangolin cub, with its iron-gray color, was called Little Gray.
This bird is very intelligent; even when it's only a few days old, it knows its name is Little Yellow.
Whenever Jiang Wu calls out to Xiao Huang, it runs from every corner to Jiang Wu's side and affectionately rubs its head against Jiang Wu's legs.
Its appearance directly became the best tool for Jiang Wu and the three women to relieve boredom.
The group would tease it whenever they had free time.
After playing with Little Yellow for a while, it actually fell asleep with its eyes half-closed.
Walking to the window and glancing outside, Jiang Wu knew that Bai Feiming and the others were probably taking the soldiers out to rest.
I was just about to go upstairs to sleep when I saw a suspicious figure outside.
With Jiang Wu's eyesight, he could see who the other person was in an instant.
Jiang Wu was a little puzzled. He opened the door, looked at Li Qingxuan standing not far away, and asked casually, "Li Qingxuan, what are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Li Qingxuan remained silent, standing there with his head down.
Jiang Wu knew he couldn't speak, so he said, "Come inside. If there's anything you need, write it down and tell me."
Jiang Wu is quite tolerant of people he has a good impression of.
After Li Qingxuan entered the room, Jiang Wu handed him a stack of A4 paper and a pen.
Instead of accepting it, Li Qingxuan suddenly said, "Thank you... thank you, leader."
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Wu was completely stunned.
He can actually talk.
And what's more, it's... a loli voice!!
Holy crap!
A man, paired with a loli voice?!
Jiang Wu just thought it was ridiculous.
Is this why he has refused to speak?
wrong!
Jiang Wu looked Li Qingxuan up and down, then suddenly asked in surprise, "You're a woman?!"
Li Qingxuan nodded gently, and mustered up her courage to say, "My name is Li Qingxuan, which is the character for 'king' with the character for 'rotation' added to it. You are my great benefactor."
Jiang Wu was stunned.
Her voice is amazing, it's that kind of soft, childlike voice, just like the Japanese anime I used to watch.
And it has a very distinctive character; you can tell it's a little girl just by listening to her voice.
Jiang Wu recalled the scene at Li Qingxuan's shack and suddenly understood something. He said calmly, "Could it be that you've been pretending to be mute and deliberately making yourself dirty all this time to prevent others from discovering your true gender?"
Li Qingxuan nodded, her eyes reddening, and said sadly, "My dad died protecting me. He was killed by men who wanted me. My mom said that girls like me are too vulnerable in the apocalypse, and told me not to talk and to hide myself as much as possible..."
Jiang Wu sat down on the sofa and listened quietly as she finished speaking.
To conceal her identity, Li Qingxuan messed up her hair, made herself look like a dog had chewed it, and covered herself in dirt and stench. She also had to pretend to be mute.
In this situation, he also has to take care of his nine-year-old brother...
To be honest, this little girl is really persistent.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Wu asked with some doubt, "You're not afraid of death, so why didn't you think of finding a powerful force to rely on and asking them to save your brother? You could have lived a much better life that way."
Li Qingxuan shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and looked up at Jiang Wu, saying earnestly, "I still don't know who killed my mother. Any of those leaders could be the murderer. I'd rather die than let them touch me."
“Leader, I know you are capable, and you are a newcomer to this faction. I beg you to help me find the murderer. My life is yours to do with as you please.”
After saying that, Li Qingxuan knelt down, tears streaming down her face, but her expression was very stubborn.
Jiang Wu frowned and said calmly, "There are too many people who have suffered injustice in this apocalypse. Why should I bother to avenge you? Besides, there are plenty of people in the base who are willing to risk their lives for me. I don't need your life."
