The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 67: Chapter 67 A Master at Work
 

No matter how scary Fu Yunhe’s gaze was, Ha Ha was completely unfazed, as if he couldn’t see it.

He followed Nian Shutong to do some work.

Nian Shutong took the new recruit, Ha Ha, to the wasteland across from them.

“Ha Ha, you need to turn over the soil like this,” Nian Shutong said, digging with the shovel. “You have to pick out all the weeds and stones.”

“Got it?”

“Got it! I used to do this often, my Commander loved to have me till the soil.” Ha Ha wagged his tail and took the shovel that Nian Shutong handed over, and got to work.

After watching for a while, Nian Shutong was very satisfied.

This Ha Ha really didn’t slack off at all when it came to work, and what was key—he was strong!

Compared to the two sickly individuals on the other bank, Nian Shutong was extremely pleased.

Ha Ha was a bit single-minded; when it was time for him to go, he heard the Commander’s voice. He was very familiar with the Commander’s spiritual power.

Because when his own spiritual power had collapsed, the Commander had personally helped him sort it out for over a month.

So when the Commander told him to stay and help Nian Shutong with the work, he didn’t hesitate to stay.

As for why he could sense the Commander’s spiritual power, Ha Ha didn’t know, but he felt that nothing was too much for such a powerful Commander.

All morning, Ha Ha turned over an acre of land.

At this rate, wouldn’t everything be done in a few days?

Nian Shutong’s attitude toward Ha Ha became much friendlier—after all, he was the only strong laborer they had.

Close to noon, she went deep into the forest.

To hunt meat!

Ha Ha was working hard, so she wouldn’t be stingy.

As for whatever motives he had for staying, she didn’t care and wasn’t worried. The little medicine beads weren’t for nothing.

When Nian Shutong returned, passing by Ha Ha who was still digging, she called out to him directly.

“Ha Ha! You can take a break; we’ll be eating soon.”

Ha Ha, who was deeply engrossed in his work, didn’t lift his head and replied with his back to Nian Shutong, “I have nutrient liquid.”

Hearing Ha Ha’s reply, Nian Shutong didn’t call out again.

As soon as the smell wafted out, she didn’t believe he would be able to resist.

Today, Nian Shutong was still making wild chicken stewed with potatoes, but this time it was three chickens and ten potatoes.

The process was the same, only the fire starter had been replaced by Rubble.

Rubble stood a meter away from the stove, using his extremely long arms and a stick to skillfully manage the fire.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, will Rubble continue to make fires in the future?”

“Based on my observations, given Xia He’s physical condition which makes him seem close to death at any time, you’ll probably be doing it quite a bit,” Nian Shutong said crisply, pouring oil and frying the chicken before adding water.

“Increase the heat, bring it to a boil.”

Rubble obediently added a few more sticks to the fire, thoughtfully observing the flames inside the pot.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, can Rubble modify this stove a bit?”

Nian Shutong, who had turned to chop the potatoes, stopped and looked at Rubble, “You can.”

It wouldn’t hurt to make it more convenient.

The kitchen fell silent, with only the crackling of burning wood and the gradually emerging fragrance lingering.

Nian Shutong had already put the potatoes and rice in; now all that was left was to wait.

As the steaming vapors rose gently, the aroma competed to drift outside.

Ha Ha, working in the field, was about to drink a bottle of nutrient liquid when his movements halted, and he sniffed the air vigorously.

He located the source; it was from Nian Shutong, who had just called him for a meal.

Ha Ha was torn for a moment, continue working or go eat?

But the Commander had said to work hard. Would going to eat be considered slacking off?

Meanwhile, Nian Shutong stood at the kitchen entrance, shouting across the stream, “Ha Ha, time to eat! Over here, you have to listen to me!”

Listen to me!

Right!

Ha Ha threw his shovel aside and, swinging his big tail, ran towards the kitchen.

“I’m the most obedient, coming to eat.”

“Good, go wash your hands.”

Once everyone had come out, Nian Shutong suddenly realized they needed a table.
