Chapter 36 Wang Qiushui’s confusion
It was the first time since the end of the world to eat such a sumptuous meal. In addition, today's harvest was quite fruitful, so the two of them ate very happily and finished the meal in a short time.
He smiled and said, "The plate with vegetables is as clean as new. There is no need to wash it. By the way, are you full? If not, I will cook two sweet potatoes as a midnight snack."
Wang Qiushui shook his head, "No need, I ate more than half of the food just now, how could I not be full? On the contrary, you didn't eat much, so just cook it if you want."
He quickly put away the bowl and said, "I'm full too, so I won't cook it to save myself the trouble."
Wang Qiushui suddenly said, "Why don't you let me wash it? You go take a bath and you can go to bed early later."
He was stunned for a moment, but said, "Forget it, let me do it, your hands are not suitable for touching water."
Wang Qiushui smiled and said, "I'm not a young lady. If I don't touch Yangchun water with my fingers, what does it matter if I wash the dishes?"
He shook his head, "Have you forgotten that I felt the same way as you during the battle? So I know your physical condition very well. I have been wielding the hammer of the earth for the past two days. Although it is not very heavy, you used to I have never done such rough work, so my hands have blisters already. If the blisters burst when I wash the dishes later, it will be very painful."
Wang Qiushui's face suddenly turned red, "You just said you were very clear about my physical condition. Did you peek or do anything during the transformation?"
He was stunned for a few seconds, and then said angrily, "Of course not. I'm not a pervert, how could I do these things? What's more, the transformation only lasted a few minutes, which is not enough time to kill zombies. There’s time for this.”
Wang Qiushui doubted, "Is it true? But when I transformed, I lost all consciousness. Even if you did it, I wouldn't know."
He turned around and walked out with the bowl, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. You can't let me kill zombies while holding a selfie stick."
Wang Qiushui thought for a moment, "That's not very realistic. Forget it, I'll just believe you for now."
With his back to Wang Qiushui, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He certainly didn't peek or make a move. However, Wang Qiushui was too big. Even if he didn't look at it intentionally, he couldn't completely ignore it. And when killing zombies, whenever he swings the earth hammer, he will inevitably touch it, but he really didn't pay attention to it at that time.
Moreover, even if he saw or touched him, it was an action performed by Wang Qiushui's body and had nothing to do with his true body. That being said, it probably doesn't count.
However, he would naturally not say it, otherwise he would definitely be treated as a pervert by Wang Qiushui. Even if Wang Qiushui could understand it, he would still be embarrassed.
After washing the dishes, he went in and wiped them for a while. There was too little water, so he had to save some.
When he came out, Wang Qiushui was already lying on the bed, and the candle on the table was still burning. He thought for a moment and did not blow out the candle. He would just have some luxury tonight. Then, he lay back on his mat and prepared to sleep.
At this time, Wang Qiushui suddenly said, "I never thought that the first candlelight dinner in my life would be like this."
He was stunned for a moment, "Actually, this is not considered a candlelight dinner. Maybe there will be another chance in the future, or maybe one day the country will develop a vaccine, and then all the zombies will be eliminated, and people's lives will return to the original track. "
Wang Qiushui added, "I once thought that a candlelight dinner was just like in a movie. The hero and heroine sat in a dark corner, the candlelight on the table flickered, and then the two of them chatted while eating Western food, and there were people beside them. There is melodious music, maybe a violin or a piano.”
He said no more.
Sure enough, Wang Qiushui continued, "Although it looks very romantic, I always feel that something is missing. Now I understand that their background is too dark, so dark that there is only a little light from a candle. But we are different. , Our candles are very bright, they can light up the whole room, and they also light up my heart."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wang Qiushui asked, "Do you think I am a very selfish person?"
He said directly, "No, I don't think so at all."
Wang Qiushui paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, when I first heard them calling for help, my first thought was not to save them, but to think, if I saved them, would we also share our food with them? , what if we don’t have enough to eat? I feel like I’m so selfish, so when they scolded me, I felt a little more relaxed.”
He nodded. It turned out that Wang Qiushui paused in front of the apartment because he was thinking about this issue.
Wang Qiushui added, "When I finished eating just now, I felt that I was finally full. So I thought of them again. They must be hungry now. Even if they don't get rescued, they will end up alive. Starved to death. Do you think we indirectly killed them if we refused to save them?"
He laughed out loud, "So that's why you did it."
Wang Qiushui sat up from the bed and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
He also sat up, "People are inherently selfish, so there is nothing wrong with your thoughts and actions. In normal times, of course you shouldn't ignore death. But don't forget, we are in the last days."
"What is the end of the world? The end of the world means that all resources are limited, food and drink, these things will be gone when they are used up, unless humans can settle down and restart production. This means that they will all be Our competitors, so there’s no need for us to save them.”
Wang Qiushui sighed.
He continued, "Besides, how did we get everything? From the first day we cooperated with the landlady, we worked hard every day. These things were all obtained with our lives, why should we share them with them? "
"Especially on the first day, you and I are ordinary people. We didn't kill the landlady with our wisdom and courage. What about them? They only knew how to wait for others to save them, but they never thought of saving themselves. , even if such people are rescued by us, they will not survive long in this end of the world."
"So, even if they starve to death in the end, it's something they asked for. It has nothing to do with us, and you don't need to feel guilty."
Wang Qiushui murmured, "Yes, they brought it upon themselves. We have no obligation to save them at all."
