Following Manager Qian's words, everyone at Lin Feng's table looked in the direction of the old woman. After she finished baking all the ingredients, she squatted next to the oven and sighed alone.
"It's okay not to talk about the old lady's affairs, so as not to spoil your drinking pleasure."
After listening to Manager Qian's words, the old woman raised her head and spoke slowly.
"It's okay, mother-in-law, just tell me, it's okay if we stay here anyway, maybe I can still be of some help."
Manager Qian picked up the meat skewers on the table, took a bite, and said with a smile.
The purpose of the Qingmen is to help each other, and it will be the same after the end of the world. But this is all for the disciples of the Qing sect, and there is still not that much love for outsiders. Manager Qian just asked casually and didn't really take it to heart. If not, there will be more and more poor people in the last days, and if they come to help those they meet, Qingmen will directly become a charity hall.
Lin Feng and others didn't pay attention to what Manager Qian said. Just looking at this old woman with a sad face at such an old age, I lamented that the world is not good now. It is not easy for someone of such age to set up a stall.
"It's my child. His hands are sick and his health is getting worse day by day. He may not be able to hold on for long."
The old woman stood up, added two pieces of charcoal to the oven, turned her head and said quietly.
It turned out that it was for the sake of the children. After hearing what the old woman said, everyone suddenly understood. Poor parents in the world, they are still thinking about their children at such an old age. It seems that no matter how old you are, you are still a child in the eyes of your parents.
When a child gets sick, the mother suffers the same pain, and the ones who are most worried and sad are the parents. Everyone wants their children to grow up healthy and strong, and there is no age limit on this point.
"My mother-in-law has no money to treat her child because of financial constraints?"
Manager Qian asked again curiously, but gave up the idea as soon as the words came out.
The price of meat in this apocalyptic world is so expensive. Looking at the ingredients in the freezer over there, the purchase alone costs more than a few hundred white crystals. How could he be someone who didn't have money to see a doctor? Manager Qian smiled mockingly at the thought of this.
As a large base, Tianlong Base is very strict in terms of system management. Any act of robbing or hurting people in the Tianlong base will be severely punished by the base. This strict management system is not much different from Lin Feng's previous life. Therefore, the security of Tianlong Base is very good, and this old woman has hundreds of white crystals of food, which is generally safe.
"It's not that I'm short of money, my son is very rich."
After listening to Manager Qian's words, the old man immediately retorted, as if he was afraid that others would say his son was unfilial.
"My son is very capable and filial to me. He won't let me set up a stall no matter what. I just came out to make some money when I had nothing to do."
The old woman paused and continued.
"Just a few days ago, my son was injured and he refused to let me go see him. He is not in the same base as me, and I can't make it over such a long distance at my age. Alas, I always have a son, and it's just a son like this. You tell me what to do."
The old woman wiped her tears with her hands as she spoke.
So it turned out that after listening to the old woman's words, Lin Feng and others understood. It turns out that the old woman and her son are not in the same base, so it’s no wonder.
Being able to own this stall and so many ingredients means that the old woman cannot be said to be poor. On the contrary, compared to most people, the old woman is considered very rich. Those who can open a shop in the apocalypse will not be just idlers, they must at least have an economic foundation.
Everyone understands the idea of elderly people, and it is normal for them to become inactive as they get older. Not to mention it is the end of the world, even in the original world there are many old people who are not short of money. Although their families have very wealthy living conditions, they still like to go out to pick up garbage. Sometimes it is not for the money, but because there is really nothing to do. In addition, the old man himself is diligent and frugal, so he often does things that his children cannot understand.
The old woman's son is in another base, so in the end of the world, the bases must not be close to each other. If the distance is too close, it will directly become a base in the early days of the end of the world, and it will not wait until now.
In the apocalypse, there are many people like the old woman in front of me. As early as the very beginning of the apocalypse, people were separated from their loved ones due to the outbreak of the zombie virus. Due to physical inconveniences, many elderly people chose to continue living in the original place even if they survived.
Later, through the contact of the Doomsday Table, many people became successful outside and came back to look for their relatives. If young people give up, they may go to other places to fight together. But the elderly have different ideas. In many cases, the elderly are still willing to live in the original place. And children cannot persuade the elderly, and often the situation of the old woman in front of them will occur.
After listening to the old man's words, everyone fell silent. Life in the apocalypse is like this, and it is very different from the world before it became the apocalypse. In many cases, it was a simple thing before the world became the end of the world, but it would become complicated after entering the end of the world.
Everyone could see that the old woman was very concerned about her son's injury. She never left her son's side when talking, which shows that she is worried about her son.
"Mother-in-law, what kind of injury did your son suffer? Can't it be cured even with money?"
After listening to the old woman's words, Manager Qian asked.
Seeing that this old woman can own hundreds of white crystals, her son must be richer. The people who can have this kind of money in the last days must not be ordinary people. Although the medical conditions in the apocalypse are not very good, basically all diseases can be cured. Just like Ling Tian, who could survive being completely penetrated by a bullet, what disease can't be cured with money
Nowadays, communications are very developed, and Manager Qian saw that the old woman in front of him also had an apocalypse watch on her hand. The cultural level of this world is very high, and there are very few people who are illiterate. Therefore, it is not surprising that the old woman can receive the message.
"I really forgot about this question. It seems that I have been poisoned by some kind of silver, and I need some kind of flower to cure it. Alas, I am getting older, so I have forgotten such an important thing."
The old woman thought for a long time before speaking.
"The poison of mithril needs Datura flowers to cure it, are you old lady?"
It seemed that the old woman was struggling to speak, so Manager Qian spoke directly for her.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
After being reminded by Manager Qian, the old woman finally remembered and nodded.
He was poisoned by mithril again and needed mandrake juice to cure him!
After listening to the old woman's words, Lin Feng and others looked at each other. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Ling Tian had just been cured of the mithril poison, and now he encountered another one.
