The two were about to quarrel again.
"Baby." Wu's appearance interrupted a shouting match that was about to break out.
Wu walked up to Anxi and glanced at the wheat field, "Have you confiscated it yet?"
"Of course." An Qian looked at Wu with an incredulous expression, "How could such a large field be possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu snapped his fingers, and the wind gathered into a sharp blade and flew across the wheat field quickly, cutting the wheat and falling to the ground.
"ah?"
"Hey! I'll go!"
The villagers in the wheat field were startled, but the wind blade did not hurt them and cut every grain of wheat accurately.
"Good guy, it turns out that you are the reincarnation of an automatic harvester, allowing you to find your destined destination." Anxi sighed as she looked at the wheat field that was harvested in an instant.
The afternoon's work was successfully completed unexpectedly.
All the activities arranged for today are over, and then there is time for free activities, but there is not much freedom.
The water in the water tank needs to be replaced, hot water needs to be heated for bathing at night, and the corn stalks on the platform need to be collected to prevent them from getting wet due to rain.
Several people gathered in the yard to discuss it.
Originally, he wanted Wu to use his power to directly move all the corn stalks down, but he just used the wind to lift some of the corn stalks, and the shriveled corn leaves fell to pieces, flying everywhere, and even floated into the house.
As a result, collecting these dead leaves has become a problem again.
In the end, it was decided to let Wu and Xu Ming go to the well to fetch water, while Fang Qianyao and Lin Dawang heated hot water in the kitchen.
The remaining Anxi and Li Na chose to go to the platform to collect corn stalks, and they walked up the narrow stairs to the platform.
"First collect the corn stalks and put them at the top of the stairs, and then carry them down in batches." Anxi proposed her plan.
Li Na nodded, silently walked aside and began to carry the corn stalks.
There is no guardrail on the platform, it is just empty. It's a bit high to stand on it and look down. If you are unlucky, you will die or be disabled if you fall.
Anxi picked up a bundle of corn stalks, and just as she was about to stand up, a small section of corn stalks slipped out of her arms.
"Hey..." Looking at the corn stalks on the ground, Anxi sighed dejectedly, but she still had to bend down to pick them up.
But the moment she bent down.
"Crack..." The sound of sun-dried corn leaves being crushed sounded behind him.
An Qian subconsciously looked back. Li Na was standing behind her, her hands tightly behind her back, and her face was filled with suppressed panic.
"I...I want to come and pick it up for you." Before An Qian could ask, Li Na explained her purpose.
"Really?" Anxi stepped aside.
Li Na stepped forward and picked up the short corn stalks on the ground and placed them on the pile of corn stalks in Anxi's arms.
"Thank you." Anxi thanked her and walked towards the stairs holding the corn stalks.
After putting away the corn stalks, Anxi turned back to the platform and continued to collect the corn stalks on the ground.
There was nothing strange on her face, but her eyes quietly drifted towards Li Na.
Li Na is a little weird.
An Qian recalled the memories related to Li Na today. Li Na seemed to be quite wary of her from the beginning, always avoiding her.
She just said she was going to help pick up the corn stalks on the ground, but when Anxi turned around, she saw her hiding her hands behind her back.
Was it because Anxi suddenly turned around and scared her? Or does she have other intentions, such as... push her off the platform?
An Qian glanced at the bottom of the platform, restrained her emotions and thoughts, and continued working.
All the corn stalks were packed away. Anxi and Li Na moved the corn stalks down the stairs one by one and temporarily piled them in the warehouse.
"Is there anyone? Help me...can you get me some corn stalks?" Fang Qianyao's feeble shout suddenly came from the kitchen.
Anxi picked up a bundle of corn stalks and walked into the kitchen before she washed her hands and face.
Fang Qianyao was the only one in the kitchen, sitting in front of the stove, pouring water and boiling water, and she was very busy.
An Qian couldn't help but ask: "Where is Lin Dawang?"
Fang Qianyao broke off the corn stalks hard and put them into the stove. "I said I had a stomachache and went back to the house."
"What? Stomach hurts?"
Anxi simply rolled her eyes.
But she didn't go to Lin Dawang. He was a shameless person, and he could find ways to be lazy no matter what tricks he used.
The simplest way is not to give him any fruits of labor.
Anxi counted the hot water that had been boiled and found that six hot water bottles had been filled.
They didn't go to the fields to cut wheat today, and they didn't need to take a shower. They just washed their hair and wiped their bodies with a towel. The six pots of water they saved were enough.
"Okay, stop burning." An Qian patted Fang Qianyao's shoulder, "Let's go wash our hair."
"Oh, okay." Fang Qianyao picked up a pot of hot water.
Anxi carried a basin and filled it with some cold water.
The two of them walked to the drainage outlet in the yard and poured hot water into the basin to mix with the cold water, creating warm water with just the right temperature.
Anxi squatted on the ground and pointed at the basin, "You come first, shall I come first?"
"You first." Fang Qianyao consciously picked up the water ladle and scooped out water.
Anxi squatted on the ground, lowered her head, and the warm water slowly flowed down, soaking her hair.
Then squeeze out a small bottle of shampoo and rub it into a lather on your head.
"Pour the water." An Qian closed her eyes and asked Fang Qianyao to pour the water.
The water flow fell again, quickly washing away the foam at one end.
After she finished washing, Fang Qianyao squatted on the ground.
Both of them washed quickly, and the current conditions did not allow them to take their time.
After they all finished washing, Xu Ming and Wu happened to come back from fetching water.
Anxi had a towel wrapped around her head and asked Xiang Wu, "Do you want to wash it? I'll help you."
"Help me?" Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he started to unbutton his shirt.
Anxi closed her eyes in pain and said: "Put it on, you are not a man."
It had to be said that she had become accustomed to dealing with Wu's unusual brain circuitry.
As night falls, when the last ray of the setting sun disappears in the sky, everyone has finished cleaning up and lies back on their beds.
Lin Dawang walked out of the house after hearing others returning to the house. When he went to the kitchen, he saw that all the hot water kettles were empty. An Qian had taken the only pot of hot water back into the house.
He angrily walked to the big room in the middle and banged the door.
After a while, An Qian slowly opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Dawang asked: "Where's the hot water? Have you all used it?"
"Yes." Anxi was spraying mosquito repellent toilet water in the corner of the house. It was the turn of summer and autumn, and there were still a lot of mosquitoes.
Lin Dawang's face turned dark, "Are you so selfish? Don't you know how to save some for me?"
Anxi didn't scold him, but smiled, "Oh, you haven't left the house. I thought you were asleep. The overnight water has bacteria, so I reluctantly used it all for everyone's benefit."
"You..." Lin Dawang gritted his teeth in anger.
Just when he was about to say a few more words, Anxi raised toilet water and sprayed it on his face. While spraying, he said, "You see there are mosquitoes on your face. Be careful. I will spray it for you."
"Ah!" The toilet water rushed directly into Lin Dawang's mouth and eyes. He howled in pain, cursed and rushed to the kitchen to wash his face.
After driving away Lin Dawang, Anqian slammed the door shut and put out the kerosene lamp.
Smelling the fresh scent of toilet water and enjoying the cool breeze at just the right temperature at night, Anxi lay back on the bed comfortably.
The village is very quiet at night because there is no entertainment and everyone goes to bed early, except for the insects that chirp from time to time.
The chirping of insects seemed to have no impact on Li Na and Fang Qianyao, and they fell asleep quickly after the kerosene lamp was extinguished.
Anxi covered her ears in a daze, feeling that the chirping of insects outside the house was disturbing.
But as I held my hands, the buzzing of insects disappeared at some point.
Anxi pulled off the pillow and wanted to turn over and think about sleep.
But when she turned over, she saw a scene that shocked her.
At her feet, at the end of the bed, half of a pale human face was revealed, staring at her.
