poop, and his face immediately turned green.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had forgotten that if chickens were allowed to wander around freely, they would relieve themselves wherever they happened to be. He had raised Duckie for so long and had never once found Duckie\u2019s droppings in any corner of the house. Although he did not know how it handled its own bodily needs, it had saved him a lot of trouble. He had thought that some of the chicks had become smarter and were not much different from Duckie, but he had not expected that they had only become a little smarter. Their old habits were still exactly the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jing Lin took a shovel, scooped out some plant ash, and cleaned up the droppings. He also cleaned the chickens in the storage room and poured everything into the manure pit to compost into fertilizer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that the chicks were fine, Jing Lin quickly caught them and locked them inside the storage room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast, Jing Lin carried a bag of bokchoy and took Le Le to Zhao Zhiwen\u2019s house. They needed to weed the fields that day, so lunch and dinner would be settled at Zhao Zhiwen\u2019s house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The weather was very cool that day. There was no sun, and a light breeze was blowing. The exposed arms even felt chilly. Most people in the village were used to getting up early, and when Jing Lin and the others went out, there were already many people heading out to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because it was a rice field, everyone wore water boots and went down into the fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this time, the rice ears had basically all grown out. Seeing that the rice was growing well and had not changed much compared to previous years, the villagers were all in a good mood. Life was harder than before, but as long as there was still food to harvest, it was the greatest guarantee for survival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The three of them had not been pulling weeds for long when they saw Ma Chunzhen running over. From several fields away, he shouted at Zhao Chenghuai, \u201cUncle Chenghuai, hurry and take a look at your lotus pond! It\u2019s all withered!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously, Jing Lin and the others had told Ma Renshan about the black lotus flowers, but because they had been busy these past few days, they had not had time to check. They had thought they would go after clearing the weeds in the fields, since it would not make much difference. But what did Ma Chunzhen mean by this? It was all withered?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Zhao Chenghuai and the other two hurriedly heading toward the lotus pond, many people who had been working in the fields followed them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a distance, the lotus pond that should have been a stretch of green had completely turned into withered yellow. The lotus leaves that had lost their moisture were dried up and stood crookedly on the surface of the water. Even many edible lotus pods had become shriveled. Moreover, the water itself was strange, dark, practically pitch-black. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Two or Three Events in the Last Days (TELD)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

The entire flower had already turned black, and the black color was spreading toward the stem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While looking at that lotus flower with surprise, the villagers also felt pity. In previous years, the lotus roots from Zhao Chenghuai\u2019s family\u2019s pond had made up a large portion of their winter income. Many villagers had been very envious. But now, watching all the lotus roots in this pond disappear like this, not only Zhao Chenghuai but even the villagers themselves felt heartache. They all spoke up to comfort Zhao Chenghuai.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Chenghuai looked solemn, though he was actually managing reasonably well. Ever since Jing Lin and the others had told him that the black lotus would cause the fish and shrimp to die and the lotus leaves to wither, he had already prepared himself mentally. Zhao Zhiwen had also privately comforted him all along. He had only been holding onto a bit of hope before, so now that hope was gone, and the worst outcome had appeared, there was not much sadness left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While everyone was gathered around discussing the lotus pond, a sudden loud splashing sound came from the water. Before anyone could react, a huge black wall of water suddenly rose from the pond and slammed toward them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amid the continuous screams, the people standing there were all pushed far away by that black wall. Many people were thrown into the air and fell down, and quite a few fell directly into the three-meter-deep ditch behind them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Chenghuai and Zhao Zhiwen both fell in. Fortunately, there was water inside, and it was not deep, reducing the impact. Other than being knocked a little dizzy and getting several scratches from the grass, the two of them were not seriously hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jing Lin, whose whole body had been soaked, grabbed the unusually thick weeds when he fell, so he remained hanging at the top instead of falling down. There were several villagers beside him who were in the same situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the brief panic, the people below jumped around trying to climb up, wiping water from their faces while asking the people above what had just happened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one answered them. Jing Lin and the others hanging beside him almost wished they were down in the ditch like the others, but at that moment, they did not dare move at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the lotus pond opposite them, a completely black monster was floating on the surface, revealing half of its body, more than half a meter tall, and staring at them. Something like swords growing from its back still glistened with water, and its two large black eyes showed no emotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cM-monster!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turned out that the blackness of the water they had seen earlier was not because the water itself had changed color. It was because the monster was underneath the water. Terrified, one person let out a panicked scream, released their grip, and fell backward\u2014fainting from sheer fright. They tumbled into the ditch and had to be hauled out by the others; otherwise, they would have drowned.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Two or Three Events in the Last Days (TELD) is translated by Betwixted Translations.

Jing Lin quickly released his grip and pulled the two people beside him who had been frozen in fear. They leaned backward and fell, one pulling another. The three of them tumbled down in a chain, successfully dodging the water jet. Before falling, Jing Lin still saw that the monster had two very long whiskers beside its mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After hearing there was a monster above, everyone who had fallen into the ditch helped each other up and climbed out from the other side. Among those who had seen the monster at close range, only Jing Lin could still walk on his own. The others\u2019 bodies had gone weak, and they temporarily could not move. Even when people dragged them along and weeds brushed across their faces, they did not care. Leaving that place was all that mattered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only after they had moved far away did everyone dare to stop and catch their breath.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat exactly did you see?\u201d Gao Changhui asked. His family\u2019s field was next to Zhao Zhiwen\u2019s. After hearing Ma Chunzhen\u2019s shout, his family had also followed over to take a look. When they were pushed away, they only saw a black blur before falling into the ditch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The person who had fainted from fright had already been revived by pressing his philtrum. His body was still weak. \u201cI don\u2019t know. Its whole body was black. There was a row of things on its back, like spikes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen it sprayed water, I saw the teeth inside its mouth. My god, they were packed tightly together. If it bit someone, it would definitely split them in half.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the people who had been there, Jing Lin had been the calmest, so he had seen the clearest. \u201cIt had two long whiskers beside its mouth. It lived in the water. Although it was very large, it should be a mutated mullet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow could there be mullet in my lotus pond?\u201d Zhao Zhiwen said. His family\u2019s fish pond did have some, but in the lotus pond there had only been small fish and shrimp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMaybe it escaped from the fish pond above when the water was being drained.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ve seen something so terrifying. The ant from before was nothing compared to this.\u201d Big Mouth Zhang said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat did it use to push us?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cProbably its tail fin.\u201d Jing Lin said.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut fortunately, it was in the water. It did not chase after us. It looks like it cannot leave the water. If that is really the case, then it is still okay.\u201d Ma Chunzhen gave his guess.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt seems the water it sprayed was only meant to drive us away.\u201d Someone said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone else asked what they should do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat monster is so vicious. We were thrown away before we even got close. Unless we use artillery shells, there is probably no way to kill it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in Huaguo, where weapons were strictly controlled, artillery shells and things like that were impossible. In the end, everyone discussed it again and again but felt that there was no good solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, Ma Renshan said, \u201cSince that is the case, everyone should stay away from the lotus pond in the future.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Two or Three Events in the Last Days (TELD) is translated by Betwixted Translations.

If it had not been for wanting to see what was happening, nobody would have come to the lotus pond today. The pond was some distance away from the village fields, and aside from Zhao Zhiwen\u2019s family, few people usually came this way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afterward, when everyone returned to the fields to continue weeding, they were somewhat distracted. After all, a huge monster had appeared in the village\u2019s lotus pond, and nobody felt safe. Some people even blamed Zhao Chenghuai\u2019s family for no reason, saying that they should not have built a lotus pond and planted lotus roots. Of course, they did not dare say this to their faces and only muttered about it privately with their own families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After hearing the news, the Yan family also came over to ask what happened. Their fields had not yet been restored, and they only had a small patch in front of their house, so while the villagers were busy, their family had been quite idle. Before coming out, Yan Fei and Yan Lu had been teaching their parents fighting techniques one-on-one at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to Croakie, which Zhao Zhiwen had sent over the previous day, although Yan Fei\u2019s family had gone to bed slightly late the previous night, they had not been bitten by mosquitoes again. Combined with the cool weather, the whole family had rarely slept in. Everyone\u2019s spirits were excellent that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei stood on the shore and looked at Jing Lin standing in the field, his head covered in sweat. Seeing him raise his hand to wipe his sweat from time to time, Yan Fei suddenly felt a little heartache. He went home, changed into a pair of water boots, and silently entered the field to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei had not known that Jing Lin and the others were going down to the fields to work that day. Otherwise, he would have gotten up early to help. Not to mention that he wanted to become family with Jing Lin in the future, even just because Jing Lin had arranged an array for his family, and Zhao Zhiwen had sent Croakie over, he should have come to help. But nobody had told him, and he felt a little upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Yan Ruifeng saw this, he slapped his head as he remembered. He hurried back, changed into water boots, and came over to help as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even when Zhao Chenghuai repeatedly told Yan Fei to come out of the field, Yan Fei did not respond. Zhou Feifei, who was standing on the shore, smiled and said, \u201cJust let him work along. He can get familiar with it. When he has to work at home in the future, he\u2019ll already be experienced.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Chenghuai had actually been worried that Zhou Feifei would be unhappy. After all, her family lived in the city and was wealthy. They probably had never done this kind of dirty and tiring work before. He had also heard Zhou Yu mention the matter between his son and Yan Lu, and he was hoping the two families could become in-laws. Seeing that Zhou Feifei did not show any displeasure, Zhao Chenghuai finally relaxed. So when Yan Ruifeng arrived, he no longer refused his help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Ruifeng smiled and said to Zhao Chenghuai, \u201cOur family is beginners when it comes to farming. If there is anything we do not understand in the future, we will have to ask you for advice. I have always been thick-skinned. If you need our help with anything in the future, you must let us help.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Chenghuai naturally agreed immediately. For a moment, he put aside the bad mood caused by the huge monster in the water and chatted with Yan Ruifeng while pulling weeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei had stayed not far from Jing Lin since entering the field. Yan Fei was actually not a person who talked much, but when he was with Jing Lin, he usually took the initiative to find topics to chat about, so in Jing Lin\u2019s eyes, Yan Fei was not a quiet person. This time, Yan Fei had been working beside him for a while without saying a word, and Jing Lin felt that something was wrong. After throwing the weeds in his hand onto the shore, he asked Yan Fei, \u201cWhy do I feel like you\u2019re unhappy today?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei looked up at him but did not speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He really was unhappy&#8230; Jing Lin thought. Then he understood and asked, \u201cAre you angry with me? Why?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei said, \u201cI thought that when you told my family about your ability to draw talismans and set up arrays, it meant you considered us your own people. But today I realized that to you, I am still an outsider.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jing Lin suddenly did not know how to answer. His own thoughts were actually quite contradictory. On one hand, he strangely trusted the Yan family\u2019s character. On the other hand, he subconsciously kept his distance from them. They seemed to be becoming more and more familiar, but in reality, there was still a sense of separation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing that Jing Lin had nothing to say, Yan Fei twisted the weeds in his hand into a ball and threw them away. Then he looked at Jing Lin and said, \u201cI hope the few of us can become really good friends. No matter what happens at home, you and Zhiwen can always come find me for help. Don\u2019t only treat me as an ordinary acquaintance, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yan Fei\u2019s attitude was too sincere. Jing Lin felt that even hesitating slightly would be disrespectful to his sincerity, so he nodded blankly. \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then Yan Fei smiled, reached out, and touched Jing Lin\u2019s fair and clean face. When Jing Lin widened his eyes in surprise, Yan Fei smiled and showed him the mud on his palm. \u201cYou accidentally got some on your face.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOh, thank you.\u201d Jing Lin thanked him. He truly thought there was mud on his face, so reflexively he raised his arm and wiped his face twice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s no more left.\u201d Yan Fei said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the two continued pulling weeds. Jing Lin remained quiet, and Yan Fei did not say anything else either. However, he was already humming a song happily in his heart. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89aa6d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1a89aa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44373b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44373b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Words from the Translation Crew<\/strong><\/h3><p>Miiya: Two of two for the week.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Pinned note: Chapters 38-47 (except 45) are almost 3times in length, I&#8217;ll probably split them into two parts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-563a1ca5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"563a1ca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-60e6f737 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"60e6f737\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71a7c28b\" data-id=\"71a7c28b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58978080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58978080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Translator: Miiya<\/em><br \/><em>Editor:\u00a0<\/em><em>MushroomKnight73<br \/><\/em><em>Proofreader:\u00a0<\/em><em>Yume<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50d02f6c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"50d02f6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e340787 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e340787\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71b50dfb\" data-id=\"71b50dfb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3078c43a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3078c43a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Avid BL reader, editor, and translator with 1 story completed (CLWP) and 1 story in progress (TELD).
