Lu Xin stood up and went to the door to find a black VAT half-filled with clean water.
He showed a satisfied smile and set up his portable small aluminum pot in this small house.
When he walked outside, he saw a row of broken wooden fences outside the house. They were no longer used for blocking or protection. It was better to make use of them. He removed a small bundle of wooden sticks from the fence and broke them one by one. Then, he carried them back to the room.
He lit the firewood with his Zippo lighter and poured a large bottle of water into a small aluminum pot, burning it slowly.
After that, he removed the simple filter from the car, poured the old lady’s water into it, and used a bottle to collect it.
Even though he was a newbie, Lu Xin wouldn’t use the water from the other party to cook.
What if it was poisoned?
Only the water filtered by the filter produced in qingang could be drunk.
To be honest, whether the water was clean or not, even if it was poisoned, it would be purified by the filter he carried.
The special filter produced in qingang was not something that a small gathering point could imagine.
The technological level of both sides was not on the same level.
“Gututu …”
The firewood burned quietly, and soon three to five water lumps appeared on the water.
Lu Xin tore open the sealed plastic bag and threw a piece of bread in. He glanced at the old lady and the strange child before throwing another piece in.
This kind of compressed flatbread had a large amount. One piece of flatbread could be cooked into half a pot.
He stirred the dough with his chopsticks and the dough turned into soft noodles.
Lu Xin then took out another can and poured it all into the pot.
The aroma of the cooked instant noodles, coupled with the aroma of the canned beef, was very rich and tempting.
The strange child had been curled up on the bed, his eyes staring straight at the aluminum pot.
When Lu Xin stirred it with his chopsticks, the aroma spread out in an even more intense manner, and he could no longer hold it in.
Suddenly, she jumped off the bed again, bringing with her a gust of heavy wind.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the pot, and then he reached out to grab it.
However, this time, he failed to reach into the pot. Lu Xin grabbed his wrist and stopped him from moving.
The strange child bared his teeth at Lu Xin with a vicious expression.
Uneven teeth, contracted pupils, curled and deformed palms with black and sharp nails.
At such a close distance, his expression was scary and weird. “Brother, he’s so annoying. Why don’t we …”
His younger sister’s eyes glowed in the dark as she whispered.
However, Lu Xin didn’t agree to his sister’s request, nor did he let the child go. He looked into the child’s eyes, and his face slowly darkened.
Meeting his gaze, the strange child suddenly felt a little scared. The ferocious expression on his face disappeared, and he seemed to be a little scared. Lu Xin then slowly opened his mouth and said, “”Go get a bowl.”
As he spoke, he let go of the child’s wrist, and the child immediately stepped back in fear.
It was only then that one could see that his legs were also deformed. One side was long and the other side was short. It was not natural, but the short part was bent into a strange shape. His waist was also unnaturally twisted, just like the people outside, but more serious.
Under Lu Xin’s watchful gaze, the strange child retreated to the side of the bed and fumbled around for a large bowl.
“Two,” Lu Xin said with a frown.
As he said this, he glanced at the old lady.
Under his gaze, the strange child seemed to take some time to understand what he meant.
He reached out again and took out a bowl from the table.
Lu Xin waved his hand, gesturing for the bowls to be passed to him. He then began to scoop noodles and beef into the two bowls with his chopsticks.
“Isn’t it fragrant?”
As he was serving, he looked at the strange child who was drooling non-stop. A smile appeared on his face as he said,
it’s better to cook it this way, but it’s still. little hot now. You can’t eat it the same way you did just now … Here, take this bowl to your grandmother first. If you want to eat, then eat together … You two can use the bowls, I’ll use this small pot .
don’t use your hands directly. You still need to use chopsticks to eat noodles.
They are a pair .
Lu Xin’s smile actually made the strange child feel a little uneasy. The fierceness and ruthlessness on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion.
After the noodles were distributed, Lu Xin poured some soup for each of them and prepared to eat the rest.
It was also at this moment that a voice that seemed to be struggling to speak was heard.”You leave …”
Lu Xin, who had just finished eating the noodles, was stunned for a moment before he looked up.
The old lady at the head of the bed was holding a bowl of noodles in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on Lu Xin. The light was uneven, and her face was a little cloudy.
“Leave the noodles, you go.”
As if she thought Lu Xin didn’t hear her clearly, she repeated herself.
‘Why?”
Lu Xin put down the pot and asked in confusion, “”l’ve already treated you to a bowl of noodles, and you’re telling me to leave?”
Facing Lu Xin’s accusations, the old lady didn’t feel guilty at all.
“You go.”
Her face was gloomy and her voice was a little strange.
“If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to.”
Lu Xin’s movements slowed for a moment before he picked up the pot again. “He should be leaving.”
After he finished speaking, he began to focus on his meal. He turned around and saw his sister hanging on a beam, looking bored. He gestured to her, and her lips twitched in dissatisfaction as she looked at the few noodles left in his pot. Lu Xin could only smile helplessly as he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to her.”Do you want to eat this?”
The younger sister’s face revealed a happy expression, and she took the candy arrogantly.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The old lady and the strange child watched as Lu Xin took out a piece of candy and extended it in the air with a smile. He then put the candy back into his pocket before picking up the small pot and eating his noodles.
This action, in the soft light and silent room, seemed unspeakably strange.
The old lady on the bed suddenly fell silent, and the strange child also trembled slightly.
“Hurry up and eat, or it’ll get cold.”
Lu Xin ate his noodles as he chatted with the old lady and the strange child in a friendly manner. “This gathering point of yours is the safest one recently. That’s why I’m here to stay overnight. However, I see that you have planted a lot of fields outside. The food you have harvested should be enough to eat, right? Why do you look like you can’t even eat? you two look like you’ve been hungry for days.”
if you really can’t live on, you can go to qingang. It’s been a few years since we’ve heard of people starving to death in qingang.
The old lady kept her eyes fixed on Lu Xin, trying to figure out something from his expression.
However, Lu Xin’s face was filled with friendliness, gentleness, and enthusiasm. She couldn’t find what she wanted to see.
“We’re the only ones who aren’t full, but they can …” She said slowly.
smell it. They’re stewing meat in the back. They’re all waiting to eat.
“I’m telling you to leave now, but you won’t.”
“Then what do you think they will do to you after they are full?”
“So that’s why you want me to leave?” Lu Xin asked.
The old lady looked at Lu Xin coldly and did not answer.
Lu Xin chuckled. there’s no point in leaving as soon as possible. They’ve already sealed off all the roads in front and behind. How are we supposed to get there? ‘
“You know about it?” the old lady’s eyes narrowed.
“Of course I know, I can tell.
but it’s fine, ” Lu Xin replied honestly. I’m just going on a business trip to visit my family. I also want to see the local conditions and customs. My family told me that people need to travel often. It’s good to travel and see different places.
The old lady could understand every word he said, but she just felt that something was wrong.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer. She tightly hugged the strange child who was holding the big bowl and even tried to snatch his bowl away.
She was a little worried about letting the child eat this person’s food …
However, the taste of the noodles and beef was simply too alluring. The child did not let go at all. In a hurry, he snatched it and bit her palm. Immediately, a row of teeth marks appeared on her palm. After a long while, a little black blood slowly seeped out.
Lu Xin had just finished his noodles and was sitting on a stool with a cigarette in his hand.
“Aunty, you seem to have some problems.”
He seemed to be trying to find a topic to talk about as he smoked and chatted.
The old lady hugged the child in her arms even tighter. She pursed her lips and refused to answer.
“So, it’s because there’s something wrong with him that those people didn’t eat him?”
Lu Xin looked at the strange child curiously. “Are you afraid that he’s poisoned?”
“Swish!”
Hearing Lu Xin’s words, the old lady shuddered as she looked at him with a cold gaze.
“I’m just joking.”
Lu Xin smiled at her apologetically. “It’s awkward that you didn’t say anything.”
“Who dares to eat my little grandson?”
The expression on the old lady’s face was already a little messed up. Her body trembled wildly and she suddenly said in a hoarse voice,
“I originally had four sons. Four, who would dare to bully our family?”
but all four of our sons are dead. How are we going to live? there’s not enough food, and people are coming to Rob us. How do you think we’re going to live? ‘ “Just wait .
She screamed shrilly and scolded, ” I’m just looking forward to my grandson’s recovery now …
when he recovers and grows up, he will be stronger than his father. Those people will be in big trouble …
Lu Xin could hear the strange madness in her voice.
He glanced at the strange child and shook his head. “He won’t recover.”
The old crown Prince suddenly looked at him, his eyes full of hatred, and his teeth grinding.
“Please believe me, I’m a professional,” Lu Xin said sincerely..
