Chapter 175 Return to the End of the World 3
It is a cloudless night with bright moonlight. The electrical circuits in the farmyard have long been damaged, but the clear moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the house.
Chen Qian picked up some dead branches from outside the yard and boiled two pots of hot water. She then found a half-person-high iron bucket from the storage room. After cleaning it, she carried most of the bucket of hot water and walked to the room on the first floor.
After scrubbing, the bucket of hot water had turned grass green. She pinched her skinny wrist in dissatisfaction. It was not much thicker than the firewood on the stove just now. She still needed to exercise more.
She stuffed the long sword wrapped in cotton cloth under her pillow. The bedding, which had not been slept in for a long time, inevitably had a moldy smell, but the temperature was dropping quickly at night. Chen Qian did not care too much about it. She fell asleep quickly while touching the long sword with one hand.
The soldiers on night duty in the yard gave her a great sense of security.
When I woke up, it was bright outside and everyone was already up and gathered in the yard.
When Chen Qian walked out of the room with a messy hairdo, everyone had already started eating. Lin Xing immediately waved to her to come over and eat.
Breakfast was a pot of stewed potatoes with wild vegetable and mushroom soup. Uncle Tang is indeed a great chef, and he made ordinary ingredients look interesting.
"I took a look around this morning. There is a small vegetable garden in the backyard of this house. Although no one has taken care of it for many years and the weeds are growing wildly in the vegetable garden, there are still some edible vegetables in the field. Should we harvest some later?" The researcher smacked his lips. This morning's ingredients were dug out from the field by him and Uncle Tom.
Newly ripe potatoes taste very soft and sticky. After being steamed, the skin falls off easily. At this time, take a bite and they melt in your mouth.
Shen Qing nodded: "I think it's okay, but there are a lot of weeds in the backyard, and there might be a mutant plant. Lin Xing, you lead the team to check the situation of the vegetable field first."
"Lin Xing?" He raised his voice, frowning and staring at the team member who was on friendly terms with the girl.
This greenhorn, didn't he notice that his "little brother" has no Adam's apple? Shen Qing snorted in his heart. Who taught this guy the reconnaissance class? He will take it again when he returns to the base.
Chen Qian was also a little helpless. Women's frames are naturally smaller than men's, and she had always had a baby face. Although it had been ground into the color of sorghum flour in the apocalypse, it still looked young. This made Lin Xing, who had always been the youngest in the team, very excited, as it was finally his turn to take care of others.
"Captain Shen, I understand." Lin Xing stuffed a mouthful of potato into his mouth, then patted Chen Qian's thin back: "Xiao Chen, you have to eat more. Look at how skinny you are. If you encounter mutated animals and plants, you won't be able to escape."
Chen Qian: …
ヽ('⌒′メ)ノ
I can bear it.
Lin Xing was still chattering: "You'd better eat more, otherwise you won't be able to do farm work when you return to the base. If someone bullies you, remember to tell me my name."
"Hey, why do I feel like you look like my younger brother the moment I see you? But if my younger brother were still alive, he would be the same age as you. So, do you want to call me brother..."
Chen Qian: I don’t want to listen, you are just a turtle chanting sutras.
Oh, there is no need to endure it anymore.
She raised her head with a fake smile: "I am already thirty-two years old this year. Brother Lin, how old are you this year?"
She emphasized the words "Lin" and "Brother".
Three, thirty-two?
Lin Xing looked at the tiny creature in front of him with suspicion. With her height and physique, she was not even as tall as his shoulders. Could it be that she had been living a life of hunger and poverty before the end of the world?
Chen Qian watched his expression change from shock to confusion to understanding, and finally to sympathy.
She twitched her lips, her intuition telling her that this person must have imagined some weird images in his mind.
Lin Qing looked pitiful: "Although you are older than me, who can tell from your skinny appearance? How about we just talk about our own things, and you recognize me as your big brother, and I will protect you in the future."
"Then we'll save up points together to apply for a wife, but we have to make it clear that the first child born from our wife must be my child..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Qian's thin figure. If he wasn't there, how long would it take for Chen Qian to accumulate enough points to apply to be his wife, as she couldn't even carry anything on her shoulders or hands?
I am really a good brother, but brothers are brothers, blood is blood, and the first child of his future wife must be mine.
Chen Qian: !!!
Breathe in, breathe out, don't argue with fools.
Shen Qing, who was secretly observing the situation, almost laughed out loud. He held back the laughter that was about to overflow and cleared his throat: "Lin Xing, don't joke with Miss Chen."
Lin Xing raised his head to look at his captain, then turned back to look at his friend with whom he had a particularly good impression.
Chen...Chen what?
...Miss what?
!!!
His new companion is a girl?!
Lin Xing's eyes suddenly widened, and his gaze swept from Chen Qian's messy short hair to her pair of gray sneakers. Finally, his puzzled gaze fixed on Chen Qian's chest, where the curves were almost invisible.
………
Silence is better than words at this time.
A cross appeared on Chen Qian's forehead. This was intolerable.
She sneered, walked forward and knocked the stupid boy to the ground. She was not a delicate queen!
Bang! Dust flew everywhere.
Lin Xing's still handsome face was firmly buried in the mud.
Everyone who was discussing the grain harvesting arrangements nearby looked over.
Mother Tang felt a little distressed as she pulled up the still confused Lin Xing, complaining in her tone, "Xiao Chen, you too, Xiao Lin is only a little older, why are you arguing with him?"
After listening to Captain Shen's words yesterday, she discussed it with her old man until midnight and thought it would be best to find a few husbands for Xiaoyun who knew her well. Then they could apply for a piece of land and the whole family would work together. Why would they have to worry about not having a good life?
Lin Xing was one of the candidates she had her eyes on. He was a handsome young man, and a soldier.
Unconsciously, she pulled Lin Xinghua into her own area.
However, Xiaoyun seemed to like Captain Shen more. Captain Shen was indeed born better and was a military officer after all. Apart from being older, he was a good match for her daughter. However, she didn't think Captain Shen had this intention.
While weighing her daughter's thoughts, Tang's mother hurriedly helped the person up.
Shen Qing scanned the curious eyes of the crowd, looked at Lin Xing who was confused about the situation, and said calmly: "Lin Xing, it was you who offended Chen Qian just now, why don't you apologize quickly."
How can you stare at a girl's breasts?
Lin Xing wiped the dirt off his face and rushed forward with shining eyes: "Chen Qian, how did you just flip me over? With your small body..."
His words gradually faded under Chen Qian's gaze.
There is murderous intent!
Chen Qian glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Tang's mother, then straightened her back calmly and said, "Who can survive to this day in the end times without two hands?"
Hmm, the line on my chest seems to be straighter.
This thought turned around in Lin Xing's mind for a few times. He winced with his face still aching slightly, and swallowed the words silently.
