Chapter 266 He Can't Get Well

Lu Xin stood up and looked behind the door. There was a large black vat with half a vat of water.

He smiled with satisfaction and set up his portable small aluminum pot in this small house.

He went outside and saw a row of tattered wooden fences outside the house. They were no longer able to block or protect anything. It was better to recycle them. He removed a small bundle of sticks from it, stepped on them one by one, and then carried them back to the room.

He used his zippo lighter to light the firewood, and poured a large bottle of water into the small aluminum pot, which slowly burned.

After doing this, he took the simple filter from the car, poured the old lady's water into it, and used a bottle to collect it below.

Although he was a novice, Lu Xin certainly would not use the other person's water to cook directly.

What if it was poisoned?

Only water filtered by the filter produced by Qinggang can be drunk by oneself.

To be honest, no matter whether the water is clean or not, even if it is really poisoned, it will be purified by the filter he carries.

The special filter produced by Qinggang is not something that a small gathering point can imagine.

The technological level of both sides is not on the same level.

…

"Drums..."

The firewood burned quietly, and soon a puddle of water appeared on the water surface.

Lu Xin tore open the sealed plastic bag, threw a pancake in, looked at the old lady and the strange child, and threw another piece.

This compressed pancake is very filling, and one pancake can cook half a pot.

He took the chopsticks he brought with him and stirred it, and the pancake quickly turned into soft noodles.

Then Lu Xin took out a box of canned food and poured it all into the pot.

The aroma of the cooked instant noodles, plus the aroma of the heated beef canned food, is very rich and tempting.

…

The strange child has been curled up in bed, staring at the aluminum pot.

When Lu Xin stirred it with chopsticks and the aroma came out in a more intense way, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Suddenly, he jumped down from the bed again, bringing with him a heavy wind.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the pot, and then reached out to grab the pot.

But this time, he failed to reach into the pot. Lu Xin grabbed his wrist and held it still.

The strange child had a sinister look on his face and bared his teeth at Lu Xin.

Jagged teeth, shrunken pupils, curled and deformed palms, and black and sharp nails.

At such a close distance, his expression was scary and grotesque.

"Brother, he is so annoying, why don't we put him..."

The sister on the side, her eyes glowing in the dark, whispered.

But Lu Xin did not agree to his sister, nor did he let the child go. He just looked into his eyes and his face slowly sank.

Facing his gaze, the strange child suddenly felt a little scared, and the hideous expression on his face disappeared, as if he was a little scared.

Lu Xin then slowly spoke, saying, "Go get a bowl."

As he spoke, he released the child's wrist, and the child immediately stepped back in fear.

Only then could he discover that his legs and feet were also deformed, one long and the other short, not born that way, but the short part was bent into a weird shape, and his waist was also twisted unnaturally, just like those people outside, but more serious.

Under Lu Xin's gaze, the strange child retreated to the bedside, then fumbled around and took out a large bowl.

Lu Xin frowned and said, "Take two."

As he said this, he glanced at the old lady.

Under his gaze, the strange child seemed to take a little time to understand what he meant.

He reached out again and took out another bowl from the table.

Lu Xin waved his hand, asking him to pass the bowl over, and then began to use chopsticks to pick up noodles and beef in two bowls.

"Smells good, right?"

As he was serving the noodles, he looked at the strange kid who was drooling with greed, and smiled, saying:

"It's only delicious when cooked this way, but it's still a little hot now. If you eat it the same way as before, it won't work... Here, send this bowl to your grandma first, and eat together... You two can use bowls, I'll use this small pot directly..."

"Don't use your hands directly, you still need to use chopsticks to eat noodles, they are a pair..."

"..."

The strange kid actually felt a little embarrassed in Lu Xin's smile, and his face was no longer fierce and violent, but only confused.

After the noodles were divided, Lu Xin poured some soup for each of them and prepared to eat the rest himself.

Just at this moment, a voice that seemed a little difficult suddenly sounded: "You go..."

Lu Xin, who had just picked up the noodles to his mouth, was stunned for a moment and looked up.

The old lady at the head of the bed held the noodles in her hand, but her eyes looked at Lu Xin. The light was uneven, and her face was a little uncertain.

"Leave the noodles, you go."

As if thinking Lu Xin didn't hear clearly, she said it again.

"Why?"

Lu Xin put down the pot and asked in confusion: "I've invited you to eat noodles, but you want me to leave?"

Facing Lu Xin's accusation, the old lady did not feel any guilt on her face.

"You go."

Her face was grim, and the light made it look uncertain, and her voice was a little weird:

"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."

"..."

Lu Xin's movements were slow for a moment, and then he picked up the pot again and said with a smile: "It's time to go."

After that, he began to eat seriously. When he turned around and saw his sister hanging on the beam next to him bored, he gestured to her. His sister looked at the few noodles left in his pot and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Lu Xin had to smile helplessly, then took out a piece of candy from his pocket, handed it to her in the air, and said with a smile: "How about you eat this?"

His sister showed a happy expression on her face and took the candy proudly.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The old lady and the strange child both watched Lu Xin take out a piece of candy, smiled and stretched it into the air, and said something happily, and then watched him put the candy back into his pocket, and then he picked up the small aluminum pot with satisfaction and started eating noodles.

This action seemed indescribably strange in this softly lit and silent room.

The old lady on the bed suddenly fell silent, and the strange child also trembled slightly.

…

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold."

While eating noodles, Lu Xin chatted with the old lady and the strange child in a friendly manner, saying: "Your gathering point is the safest one recently, so I came to stay here. However, I see that you have planted a lot of fields outside, and the harvested food should be enough to eat, right? Why do you seem to have no food to eat? You two look like you have been hungry for several days."

"If you really can't make it, you can go to Qinggang. We haven't heard of people starving to death in Qinggang for several years."

"..."

The old lady kept staring at Lu Xin, trying to see something from his face.

But Lu Xin's face was only friendly, gentle, and enthusiastic, and she couldn't find what she wanted to see.

So she slowly spoke, "It's just that we two can't eat enough, they can eat enough..."

"You smell, they are stewing meat in the back, waiting for food."

"Now I ask you to leave, but you don't."

"Then what do you think they will do to you after they are full?"

"..."

Lu Xin listened and realized something: "So you asked me to leave early?"

The old lady just looked at Lu Xin coldly without answering.

Lu Xin smiled and said: "It's useless to leave early. They have blocked the roads in front and behind. How can I leave?"

The old lady's pupils shrank slightly: "You know?"

"Of course I know, I see it."

Lu Xin said honestly: "But it doesn't matter. I was on a business trip and visiting relatives. By the way, I also want to see the local customs and customs around me. My family said that people need to travel frequently, go out and see different places, and they will feel good."

The old lady understood every word he said, but she just felt that something was wrong.

Not knowing how to answer for a moment, she hugged the strange child holding the big bowl tightly and tried to take his bowl away.

She was a little worried about letting the child eat this person's food...

But the taste of noodles and beef was so tempting that the child didn't let go at all. He was so anxious that he bit her palm. Suddenly, a row of teeth marks appeared on her palm. After a long time, a little black blood slowly seeped out.

...

Lu Xin had finished eating the noodles at this time, sat on a small stool, and took out a cigarette.

"Auntie, your child seems to have some problems."

He seemed to be making conversation, smoking and chatting.

The old lady hugged the child in her arms tighter, pursed her lips, and refused to answer.

"So, those people didn't eat him because he had problems?"

Lu Xin looked at the strange child curiously: "Are they afraid that he might be poisonous?"

"..."

"Swish!"

Hearing Lu Xin's words, the old lady shuddered and her eyes fell on his face with a bit of grimness.

"I was joking."

Lu Xin smiled at her with some apology, and said: "You have been silent all the time, it's awkward."

"Who dares to eat my little grandson?"

The expression on the old lady's face was a little confused. She trembled randomly, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice:

"I originally had four sons, four, who dares to bully our family?"

"But all four sons are dead. How can an orphan and a widow live? There is not enough food, and people come to rob. How do you think we can live?"

"Wait..."

She quarreled sharply and cursed: "I am now looking forward to my little grandson's recovery..."

"When he recovers and grows up, he will be stronger than his father, and those people will be in trouble..."

"..."

Lu Xin heard a strange madness in her voice.

He glanced at the strange kid, shook his head, and said, "He won't get better."

The old prince suddenly looked at him, his eyes full of hatred, his teeth grinding.

Lu Xin looked at him and said sincerely, "Please believe me, I'm a professional."
