Dark Farm 4

The entrance to the bathroom was empty, with only Wan Qian standing there. 

In the second-to-last room, a shadow flickered by the window. Someone was standing there, silently observing Wan Qian's movements. 

According to the rules, the bathroom could be dangerous. No one was willing to be the first to take the risk; everyone was waiting for someone else to go in first. 

Seeing Wan Qian appear at the bathroom entrance, everyone secretly watched her, wanting to see if she could come out safely. 

Wan Qian glanced around and, seeing no one nearby, felt quite happy. 

Luckily, she had come early, before anyone else arrived, so she didn't have to wait in line to shower. If this were back at university, the bathroom would be packed at this hour. 

Wan Qian stepped into the bathroom. 

Although the entire building had been renovated, the bathroom was spotless. Each stall was enclosed with a door, and was fully equipped with a shower, body wash, and shampoo. 

Wan Qian walked into one of the stalls, closed the door behind her, and placed her white work uniform on the designated clothing rack. To prevent it from getting wet, she carefully wrapped it in a plastic bag. 

Then, she turned on the showerhead. Instantly, dark red liquid poured down. 

Fortunately, Wan Qian was standing outside the shower's reach; otherwise, she would have been drenched in it. The dark red liquid dripped onto the tiled floor, filling the air with a metallic, iron-like scent. 

Wan Qian's heart tightened at the sight. 

So poor. Her farm was truly too poor. 

It was one thing for the employee dormitory to be a renovated old building, but even the bathroom pipes were this rusted. Even after letting the water run for so long, the rust still hadn't been flushed out. 

She stood quietly for a moment, watching as the liquid gradually diluted into clean, transparent water. Only then was she satisfied enough to undress and start her shower. 

Wan Qian was in the habit of washing her hair before bathing. She let down her hair, dampened it, and squeezed some of the shampoo provided in the bathroom. 

Just as she was about to apply it to her hair, a faint fishy scent reached her nose. 

She brought the shampoo closer to her face and took a sniff. Confirmed. The smell was coming from the shampoo. 

Her face instantly froze in disbelief, she hurriedly placed her hands under the shower to rinse them off. It was just too disgusting. 

In the past, she had only seen online stories about perverts who would add certain things to hotel shampoo and body wash. She never expected to encounter something like this herself. 

She had to tell the butler about this and have him find out who was so wicked. 

Abandoning the shampoo and body wash, Wan Qian thoroughly rinsed herself under the shower and finished quickly. 

She wrapped her damp hair in a towel and changed into her white work uniform. 

Before leaving, she didn't forget to pick up the strands of hair she had shed and toss them into the trash can. 

After all, there was only one cleaner on the entire farm. As the farm owner, she should set an example and generate as little waste as possible to lighten the cleaner's workload. 

As soon as Wan Qian stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Wen Xirou and Xiao Lin standing in the hallway, holding clean clothes. 

"You guys are here to shower too?" Facing Wen Xirou, a young person with aspirations who had timely gotten back on the right path, Wan Qian still appreciated her. So she greeted them first. 

Wen Xirou was pleasantly surprised to see Wan Qian step out of the bathroom unharmed. 

The big shot truly lived up to their title, so calm and composed. Inwardly, she praised Wan Qian, then walked over. 

"The big shot, is there anything we should be cautious about in the bathroom?" 

Anything to watch out for? Wan Qian thought for a moment before replying, "Oh, the water pipes in the bathroom are a bit rusted. The water will be red at first, but it clears up after a while." 

She added, "Also, you'd better not use the body wash and shampoo inside. They're not clean." 

Wen Xirou and Xiao Lin immediately took note of her advice. After Wan Qian left, they entered the bathroom to shower. 

Having heard Wan Qian's warning, they were already mentally prepared when the water came out red, so they weren't startled. After waiting for a moment, the water cleared. 

As for the body wash and shampoo, they didn't notice anything strange, but since Wan Qian had said not to use them, they decided not to. 

Wen Xirou and Xiao Lin finished their showers without any surprises and tidied up the hair they had shed. 

As they stepped out of the bathroom, they were immediately surrounded by the people waiting outside. These people had been observing from their rooms. 

Seeing Wan Qian emerge from the bathroom unscathed, they were curious about what Wan Qian had told them. 

A tall, burly man blocked Wen Xirou's path, subtly carrying a hint of intimidation. 

"Is there anything else we need to watch out for when using the bathroom?" 

Xiao Lin was a bit displeased. "Why don't you try it yourself?" She was about to retort when Wen Xirou immediately pulled her back. 

Facing everyone, Wen Xirou honestly shared everything Wan Qian had told her. She even made sure to remind everyone that there was a "Farm Employee Handbook" in the locker and advised them to read it. 

After Wen Xirou and Xiao Lin left, the others exchanged looks. 

"Do we really believe them?" 

"Are they trying to deceive us?" 

A mature, composed middle-aged woman stepped forward. "They don't need to lie to us. The more investigators survive here, the better it is for everyone." 

Because, if a large number of people had died at the beginning due to the rules discovered through exploration, the space for trial and error would become smaller and smaller in the future. 

The middle-aged woman turned and entered the dormitory, also finding the employee uniform and manual in her locker. She took the uniform and headed into the bathroom. 

After weighing their options, the others gradually followed suit and entered the bathroom as well.
