"Xiao Wu... we can no longer accept food from you. You worked so hard and risked your life to spend several days outside collecting dozens of kilograms of food. You still have a large group of relatives at home who don't have enough to eat. ..." Sister-in-law Wang was holding the insect meat, sobbing and wiping her tears sadly. At the same time, there was a "gurgling" sound in her stomach. It was obvious that she was really hungry.
"It doesn't matter. This time I had a good harvest outside and got fifty or sixty kilograms of food. I made a lot of money. My family couldn't finish it for a week, not to mention I got a lot of high-end insects. Crystal, really, I didn’t lie to you, once I fuse those advanced insect crystals, I will soon have a breakthrough... "
As the Brute Warrior said, he took out some more wild fruits from his backpack and distributed them to the middle-aged and elderly people. These wild fruits were not as delicious as modern hybrid fruits, but native and unknown fruits with a unique taste. It was extremely bad, the juice was sour, and when you took a bite, it was like taking a sip of old vinegar, so sour that your teeth were soft.
However, it is a great joy to be able to eat such wild fruits during the famine period. Many people in this base cannot eat wild fruits, even wild vegetables.
"Xiao Wu..." Mrs. Wang, Uncle Liu and other middle-aged and elderly people were all in tears. Looking at the brute warrior in his early thirties, he burst into tears of gratitude and could hardly speak.
"You must not commit suicide again. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will do my best to help you!" The Brute Force warrior patted Uncle Liu's shoulder firmly and said sincerely.
"... By letting them live, do you have to be helping them?"
At this time, Li Jiayu also came up from behind. He stood behind the brute force warrior and said without emotion:
"They are old and homeless, and their children are all dead. What's the point of living alone in this world? Besides, they are also riddled with diseases. They have to endure rheumatism and bone pain every day, and they are in a painful depression all the time. . Even basic food is difficult to guarantee... Rather than living in such hardship, it is better to find a happy way to leave this world... isn't it?"
In Li Jiayu's subconscious mind, the elderly and children are the most vulnerable groups in the apocalypse. These people need others to take care of them even for basic survival, let alone self-improvement. Especially the elderly with weak physiques, who are not only unable to integrate The insect crystals became stronger, and there were also hidden diseases all over the body. It often drags everyone down...
It's not that Li Jiayu discriminates against the elderly, but that the elderly are really living a hard and difficult life in this apocalyptic world. Is living really good for them
Just like severe patients who are in unbearable pain, for them, "euthanasia" may be what they want most. Is it really effective to continue to endure the pain of the disease
"No... that's not the case! I can't just watch them die, no matter how old they are. No matter how burdensome they are... I have to take care of them for the rest of my life!"
The Brute Warrior shook his head firmly.
Li Jiayu remained silent.
The values of the two people are different, from a moral point of view. Of course, the brute force warrior was right, but Li Jiayu was so wrong that he even abandoned the old man, which was an unforgivable crime.
But from the perspective of the end of the world, Li Jiayu is right. The brute force warrior is stupidly wrong. Because survival resources are extremely limited, the brute force warrior should use the extra food to make his family live more stable, even if he really has to help other people. We should also help those teenagers, young people, and adults who are worthy of cultivation...
After a long while, Li Jiayu continued to ask:
"Why do we have to take care of them?"
"There is no reason... I just have a hard time with my conscience. Besides, do you need a reason to be a good person? I know this is stupid. But if I become smarter, I will become more and more indifferent and selfish, and then I will no longer be the same person. It's me..." Brute Force Warrior turned around and looked at Li Jiayu and said.
"You are very much like a friend of mine... She knows that it will add a heavy burden to herself. She also goes to help others without hesitation. Even if she is often scolded by me and becomes tearful and painful, and is on the verge of collapse, she does not repent and often risks her life to help others. When she went to catch fish in the Xijiang River, she almost got sucked into the water by water worms several times. Sometimes, she also liked to secretly hide half of the food allocated to her, and in the middle of the night, she would secretly give away those sweet potatoes and potatoes. The old man who is about to starve to death..."
The person Li Jiayu is talking about is naturally dyed red clouds.
It's strange that Li Jiayu would call Ran Hongxia "friend" instead of "enemy".
Li Jiayu has always scorned Ran Hongxia, and has never faced up to Ran Hongxia's seemingly ridiculous but actually admirable words and deeds...
However, Li Jiayu is now influenced by the goddess of light and went to the prosperous and peaceful Hong Kong, so Li Jiayu's character is no longer as stubborn as before...
On the contrary, Li Jiayu began to notice the bright spots in Ran Hongxia's personality. He found that Ran Hongxia was not as annoying as he thought, and the Virgin's mercy was not without merit...
"Aha? Your friend? If I'm lucky... I really want to meet your friend. He must be a hopelessly stupid person like me, right? But stupid people usually have stupid luck... " The Brute Warrior scratched the back of his head and smiled happily.
"Yes, maybe one day, you will go to Yongcheng. That woman... is building her own army. That is an army..." Li Jiayu's tone became slightly heavier and she said seriously: "That is an army for The tiger and wolf warriors who fight for justice and peace. If you are destined to go to Yongcheng alive, remember to serve as a soldier under her command. She will definitely take good care of you. Remember, the name of that woman is Ran Hongxia."
"Ran Hongxia? Still a woman? But this name... really sounds nice."
"Yeah, it sounds good... She is... a stronger woman than me." Li Jiayu's voice had a hint of trance.
For some reason, after not seeing Ran Hongxia for nearly ten days, Li Jiayu missed her even more. He didn't know what happened to Ran Hongxia now. He only remembered that Ran Hongxia was struck by the claws of the dark evil dragon. There was no breath inside the pit. Although Li Jiayu firmly believed that Ran Hongxia could survive, Ran Hongxia must have been seriously injured, right
In the past, Li Jiayu would have been a little bit gloating when he heard that Ran Hongxia was injured, but recently... I don't know what went wrong. Li Jiayu felt very uncomfortable when she thought of Ran Hongxia being seriously injured...
Gee, am I being mean? Why do you care so much about that stinky woman...
"Xiao Wu, this girl is..." Mrs. Wang and a group of middle-aged and elderly people all looked at Li Jiayu in amazement.
"Oh, this is the reinforcement from Yongcheng... She is very powerful, much more powerful than the leaders in our base."
"Really... She is really a graceful flower girl. She is so beautiful and powerful. She is worthy of being the reinforcements from the provincial capital..." A group of middle-aged and elderly people looked at Li Jiayu and admired her.
But before they could even say a few words of praise, one of them, an old man in his 60s or 70s, suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. His whole body was bleeding and he was frothing at the mouth.
This incident immediately made the Brute Force warrior panic. He hurried over to help the old man up and checked the old man's breathing. He was surprised to find that the old man's breath was extremely weak and it seemed that he would die at any time.
"Hey... Isn't Lao Fang okay? Sure enough, I still can't hold on..." Sister-in-law Wang shook her head and said sadly: "Xiao Wu, you also know that Lao Fang's body and bones are already in bad condition, and the environment here is... It was harsh, hungry and cold, and he only survived today on one breath. But the snail and insect meat you brought back a few days ago caused great damage to his kidneys and lungs, so... "
"How could this happen! How could this happen!"
The brute warrior cried bitterly, with tears streaming down his face. He was horrified and found that everything he had done was in vain. The insect meat he desperately brought back was not a life-saving grass for the old man at all, but theirs. Reminder...
However, the resources outside are extremely limited. If you don’t eat insect meat, the old man will still starve to death!
It's the same as death, so why do brute warriors fight so hard to kill insects and cut their flesh apart
At this moment, a ray of white light shone on the old man who was foaming at the mouth. In an instant, the old man's pale and paper-like face returned to ruddy color, and the wrinkles were reduced a lot. The whole person seemed to be twenty or thirty years younger. Years old, even the gray hair has regained its black luster.
The old man exhaled a breath, opened his eyes again, and looked at his body with dullness and surprise.
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Jiayu, and they all knew that it was Li Jiayu who cured the old man.
Li Jiayu's face still had no expression at all. There were ripples in his eyes, and he said calmly:
"For the sake of both of us being from Tiannan Province... let me do you a favor."
With that said, Li Jiayu stretched out her hand, and Yan Wanru immediately understood and quickly took out a bottle from her bag.
Inside the bottle, there are many of the latest magic seeds from the Yangcheng Scientific Research Institute. The hard work of Yangcheng scientific researchers has been poured into them, and they are extremely precious.
Li Jiayu took out a yellow-orange rice seed from the bottle, then walked to an open space not far away under everyone's puzzled eyes, buried the rice seed in the soil, then folded his hands and bloomed. The dazzling brilliance almost made everyone unable to open their eyes!
It only takes a few breaths...
A seedling has already spread out on the ground. The seedling is growing very fast. It keeps expanding and extending. Green rice leaves appear and ear heads at an astonishing speed. It grows out in less than a minute. Large swaths of rice ears are fluttering in the wind, golden and brilliant, extremely beautiful!
Li Jiayu raised his hand, and these newly grown ears of rice fell to the ground... The next moment, hundreds of seedlings appeared on the ground... (To be continued) RQ
