Chapter 71 - 71.At the farm...

Outside she could see two families arguing about something. Usually, she was not a curious person, but she saw other people coming out of their houses as well so she just joined in.

She Lilly was standing next to her feet but Kendra was afraid that Lilly might get hurt so she took her in hands and walked across the street.

She saw the kids she met before and called them to come. When they came she asked them about the situation. One of the boys started explaining.

As it seems they were two brothers and after their parents died they both decided to come and live in the city. But there was only one house. So the argument started.

Kendra looked at the crowd and those people and shook her head. Then she took out her space bunch of dried fruits she had and gave to children. Of course, the kids were quite happy but the boy took the fruits and shared it equally.

When Kendra saw his actions she taught about something. "What is your name?"

He looked at Kendra and smiled. "I'm Thalis and my age is thirteen. My parents told me if anyone asks me about my name I should tell everything, maybe I can get a job."

Kendra laughed about boys sincerity. " I probably have a hob for you. Just one more question. Do you live nearby? "

He excitedly nodded. " Yes. My family lives near the market square."

Kendra felt that he really was willing to work. She nodded. " I will give you something to do. Did you eat your lunch?"

" No. I actually planned to go home when I saw this..." he looked at the two brothers that already started using their fists.

But soon the guards arrived and took both families to the city office. She shrugged and nudged Thalis. "If you want coming inside and eat with us." But he shook his head.

" I'm sorry, can't do that. I really am grateful for your offer, but I promised my parents to eat with them. They will wait for me. " he apologized.

"Don't worry about it. Go home and eat. After that come here. I will need to check my other coworkers. You will come with me." She wants him to stay near. She felt slight energy emanating from him and she wanted to keep eye on him.

He left and Isaa looked at Kendra. " You felt the energy from him, right? Is he very powerful or not enough? He had kind of messy energies around him."

Kendra looked at her and poked her head. " I think he feels sick all the time. I don't think he knows about his powers. Yes, he has power but he is as it seems at least dual power wielder. Too bad no one was there to explain to him. So they are messy. That happens if you don't cultivate properly."

She went inside and closed the gates while explaining. "There are many kids that have powers but never had anyone explain them about it. As they never used it they probably would harm and cripple their sea of powers. After that, they would probably feel relief without realizing that they wasted their might."

Isaa sighed. She realized that such a thing would have happened to her as well if she never met Kendra. She was lucky, and as it seems that the boy was lucky as well.

Kendra went towards the oven opened it and the rich smell hit them. Suddenly their stomachs started grumbling almost at the same time so she started laughing. " This is piping hot. Be careful while eating."

She took four plates and put lasagne inside. The steam came out of it and with it, the even stronger amazing smell hit their senses.

Lilly was standing next to Kendra and had mouth wide agape. " How is it possible? You, you have such food with energy inside. I never saw such a thing before. "

Fluffy all proud puffed his chest. "My bosses are amazing. They feed me such stuff all the time. I'm never hungry."

Lilly sighed and then looked seriously at Kendra. " I am sure you are kind person, but don't let too many people know about this. Humans are like that. Let only the closest people know. If there are too many that knew about this, the greed would turn them into enemies. Please trust me. I saw so many of such situations so far. Look those two brothers now..."

Kendra patted her head and smiled." Thank you for your concern. It seems I became open bit I am truly not. I knew that that boy wouldn't stay as he was excited about being hired. I assumed already that he would not eat with us. Now let's eat before he comes back. We need to be on our way out of the city after this. I want to check my Farm."

As soon she stopped talking she saw them eating and saw quite differences between these two. Isaa and Fluffy ate like pigs and Lilly elegantly. We are talking about all those sauces, cheeses and vegetables. But not even one hair on Lilly became dirty.

Kendra sighed, the difference is really too big. Oh, whatever let's eat. She put food in her mouth and the taste was amplified with the energy it had. She realized breath as she realized that she stopped breathing for short while as she enjoyed the cacophony of tastes in her mouth.

The plates were clean soon after that and Kendra left the leftovers in her space. It was enough for one more meal for all four of them.

She already took care of the plates and they sat down to cultivate the power they gained through food. Lilly was amazed at how fast her sea if power was filled. Soon afterward she broke through the first line and then under Fluffy's care even second line of the basin boundary.

Kendra stopped her in worry that her sea of power might become unstable. They had time. No need to rush things. As they spoke slight knocking could be heard on the gate.

Kendra took Lilly in her basket and Isaa took Fluffy. They talked about it and choose to call him Fluffy as he liked the name.

They went out the gate and saw Thalis waiting for them shyly. Kendra gave him a reassuring smile and went first to Niram's house. But there was no one there.

She went then to Chile's house and saw that no one was there as well. She taught about it and realized that all those fruits must have ripened.

"Let's go to the farm. It seems they took all the children as they need every single hand. Let's help them as well. Thalis. From today you will get daily payment."

He happily nodded. Finally, he got a job. He was a sickly boy and not many wanted him as a worker. He planned to work hard for the money to show them that he is able to work. He needed this work. Any work.

Kendra saw his changing expressions and almost read his emotions. She was glad that this boy seems to be truthful and happy.

Later she will recommend him to the Lord for his school. Or should she keep him by her side and teach him herself? She was not sure about what she should do while she took long strides towards the farm.

Even if they became stronger it still took the time to get to the farm. She saw a bunch of people gathering all kind of fruits. After all, Kendra replanted hundreds of fruit trees and they all were filled with fruits.

Then she saw that even fruit bushes were filled and were glad. She came near the house and saw Dawn and Gillie. They sat there and chatted while looking and teasing Gillie's baby.

Dawn saw them and stood up with a smile and Gillie turned and saw them as well. It seems these two families was not very much affected by the things that happened lately.

"Kendra, Isaa where have you been so long. We were worried about you. " Said Dawn while quickly pulling Kendra to sit down in shadows.

"How were you all. I came today and heard that there was lockout the town. Have you all been well since I left?" she looked at the two women. Gillie looked at the shy boy walking behind them and greeted him.

"Thalis, its good you met Kendra. I am sure that she will find you a good job. Just work hard to repay that trust." she said while patting his head. She turned at Kendra with a smile. " He lives near my home. He was sickly since childhood as his patents told me. Now he wants to work but no one wants to work with a weak person. Could you please find him something?"

Kendra smiled. " Don't worry. Today he will go and help Niram and Chial. Everyone just needs to take often breaks and everything will be fine."

They smiled friendly at Thalis and he happily nodded. He will definitely help Kendra with everything he needs.

''About the city.'' sighed Dawn.'' We were lucky that we met you. Before the lockout, someone told us and Niram. Gillie and the kids choose to live on the farm. We helped them with taking enough food here and Chial left him the rest of the money. To be able to buy the vegetables as long is lock out. We had fortunately inside enough food for a whole year as you gave us enough. Finally, as soon the gate was open we run out to see if they were ok. Luckily they didn't have any trouble so far.''

She felt sorry that Niram and Gillie took most of the work over. But luckily Niram found enough workers that helped him with fruits that he constantly dried and stored. Chial took the children to help to gather the last fruits of this season.

''The apples and pears can be dried or kept fresh. We can store it in cold cellar. I think there is one under the store we will open. Right?'' she already assumed as she didn't see any storage behind it.

Dawn and Gillie nodded. ''The storage is actually huge. That is the reason we have no cellar. The store cellar is as big as the store and our place altogether. It's under our feet. Not only that. It has three levels. We already stored a huge amount of grains, fruits, and vegetables under it. We told Fintan about it but he denied it. He said he could use it only as of the last option. It seems he had enough for a while as well.''

''How much food do we have? Will it be enough to feed the lower city whole winter?''Kendra was slightly worried.

They looked at each other and smiled.''Don't worry. We have enough food to feed the whole city for at least a couple of years.''

''What? But I didn't leave enough money for that...'' she was worried but the two women had a sneaky smile on their face. Kendra was stunned...could it be...these two were as it seems better traders than their husbands.

''Well, actually we went from village to village and bargained as we bought a bunch of food. There is something else as well. Fintan brought us more silver. He knew we are doing that for you and he said it was something the Lord sent. So we accepted it. You were right. The fruits and vegetables this year were abundant so most of it we bought for a fraction of last years worth. We didn't buy much milk produce as Fintan asked us to give to him. We were worried that the milk products might get bad so we made that choice. Fintan, after all, has an amazing ice house. For him, having milk products is not hard. And we don't lose anything if we don't have any,'' explained Gillie with a smile.

Kendra nodded. She truly was happy finding such good people. Now she didn't have to worry about their future.

She went to the orchard behind the house and saw Chial, Niram, their children and a bunch of other people carefully gathering the fruits. She looked at fruits closely and saw that they were at least three times the size the normal fruits were. Then she remembered that she used some of the energy-water mixed with plain water and watered the fruits and potatoes. But she did it only once...

She saw Chial coming with a happy face at her and smiled as well. ''Chial.''

He bowed politely at Kendra and with that showed to the workers who she was. He winked at her as he spoke a bit louder.''Big boss, you are finally here. We are almost done. Is it possible to pay a bit more for those that worked harder and better.''

''Of course. Did you keep in mind the way I like people working?'' she asked while acting arrogantly.

He stifled his laughter while he was loud. ''Of course boss. I wouldn't dare to make people overwork themselves. They all had enough food to eat, water to drink and enough breaks as well.'' he bowed in front of her as if curring favor. Kendra had no idea why he made this play, but there must be a reason behind it. So she continued to play bossy. It was not hard for her to do that as she was boss in past life, but somehow most the people she met were quite friendly. It was kind of hard for her to be bossy to someone who didn't need that kind of arrangement.

But looking at his face, there must be trouble. Oh well. She had a long enough vacation. It seems people just can't let her live well as soon she is back. Let's see what will happen...
