Chapter 237 Thank you, let’s have dinner together

"Can."

The man looked outside the house and thought that his head was injured by the hail, so he nodded.

"But you can only live on the first floor and are not allowed to go upstairs," the man instructed.

"OK."

"Thank you very much."

Meng Ci wanted to give the can in his hand to the man, but the man waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want it.

"No, I have food, you can keep it for yourselves."

"That's a bedroom over there, but there's only one bed in it. You can stay there."

The man did not take the things. He just pointed out where the bed was and limped up to the second floor.

Since the other party didn't want the things, Meng Ci didn't force them on him, lest the other party think that they had too many things and have bad intentions.

Meng Ci and Shen Que took Eggplant and Xiongying into the bedroom the man pointed to.

The bedroom was cleaned very well, there was hardly any dust.

Shen Que gently locked the door, and Meng Ci took out a curtain from the space and covered the entire room tightly.

Since there was no electricity in the house, Meng Ci first took out a desk lamp, and then took out some quilts and other bedding.

Just when the two of them had finished tidying up the house, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Meng Ci and Shen Chen immediately became alert because the things in the room could not be quickly put back into space.

Shen Que quickly turned off the desk lamp, plunging the entire room into darkness. Meng Ci then carefully opened the door, leaving only a crack.

However, when he saw what was happening outside the door, he was shocked.

It turned out that the man was not standing at the door, but in the living room with a quilt in his arms.

"I only have a quilt and a mattress here, so I'll take down the quilt and give it to you."

"I just changed this quilt cover. You can use it if you don't mind."

When the man saw Meng Ci coming out, he said while holding the quilt in his arms.

Meng Ci walked forward quickly, took the quilt from the man's hand, and said sincerely: "Thank you!"

When he got closer, he noticed that the man had only wiped the blood off his face, but did not treat the wound on his head.

Thinking that everyone had given him their only quilt, Meng Ci pointed at the wound on his head and said, "Do you want to treat this wound?"

The man raised his hand and touched the wound on his forehead, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't worry about it."

Having said that, he turned around and was about to go upstairs.

"Wait a moment." Meng Ci called out to the man, then quickly returned to the room, took out half a bottle of alcohol, a pack of cotton swabs, and half a roll of gauze from the space, and walked out.

"This is what I bought at the hospital in the M City base. You can use it." Meng Ci handed the thing to the man.

The man waved his hands quickly, "No, no."

"My wound will heal soon."

The man knew how important medicine was in the end times, so he naturally couldn't accept it.

However, Meng Ci forcefully stuffed the plastic bag into the man's hand.

"You are given the things. It is up to you whether to use them or throw them away."

After saying that, Meng Ci returned to the bedroom.

The man was so moved when he saw the thing in his hand that he limped up to the second floor and bandaged the wound not very skillfully.

Meng Ci returned to the room and continued to clean the house with Shen Que. After resting for two hours, he was suddenly awakened by the cries of Eggplant and the Eagle.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Meng Ci heard a knock on the door and got up to open it.

The man was very aware of social distance and was waiting in the living room. His eyes lit up when he saw Meng Ci come out.

"I cooked some food. Do you and your companion want to come out to eat?" The man was still a little reserved when he spoke.

The man's idea was simple. Meng Ci gave him medicine, and he had nothing to repay him, so he could only cook some meals.

"Sure!" Meng Ci didn't refuse and called Shen Que to come over for dinner.

The meal was actually very simple, just a pot of white porridge, two pancakes with wild leeks, and two unknown wild vegetables.

The man touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, these are the only things I have at home."

You know, rice is a very precious thing. He usually couldn't bear to eat it. At most, he would get a handful of wild vegetables and mix it with a little flour to make rice, so that he could eat it for several meals.

Meng Ci smiled, showing his understanding, and consoled her: "It's okay, it looks delicious."

He picked up the bowl and took a sip. He found that the porridge tasted good, but the wild vegetables were too bitter. And because there was no oil or salt, it was really hard to swallow.

Meng Ci took a look at the man and saw that he was extremely thin, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

So, during the meal, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know there is a base ahead? Why don't you live there?"

After all, this place is too desolate and there is not much food. How can we survive just by eating wild vegetables?

The man nodded and replied calmly, "I know."

Then he told Meng Ci that he had exchanged things for the rice and noodles from the base.

As for why he didn't live in the base, the man didn't want to say at first, and Meng Ci didn't ask.

But after the meal, the man suddenly spoke.

"My name is Qiao Moyan, and I'm thirty-three years old."

Qiao Moyan previously lived in the M City base. He was a kind and hard-working person. Until a month ago, he saw a three-year-old boy sitting on the ground crying helplessly in the base. There were no adults around.

Although Qiao Moyan knew that people in the last days were treacherous and it was not a good idea to meddle in other people's affairs, he felt that the child was too pitiful, so he stepped forward, picked up the child, and asked him where he lived.

The boy slowly stopped crying in Qiao Moyan's arms, then pointed in a direction and said that his home was there.

Qiao Moyan was not on guard. After all, the child was only three years old and would definitely not lie, so he took the child to find his family.

However, on the way to find the child's parents, Qiao Moyan was caught by a group of people and then escorted into a tunnel.

Hearing the word "tunnel", Meng Ci and Shen Que looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

But the man was so immersed in sorrow that he didn't notice.

When they arrived at the tunnel, Qiao Moyan realized that the child's parents had been captured by this group of people and were threatening the child to do things for them.

"And, those animals cooked the child right in front of me."

At this point, Qiao Moyan grabbed the table and couldn't help but dry heave.

Meng Ci saw water on the table and poured some water for Qiao Moyan.

"Thanks!"

After Qiao Moyan recovered, he held the paint-chipped cup and thanked him.

"I really wanted to save the child, but I couldn't beat them!"

Not only was Qiao Moyan unable to fight back, he was instead pinned down and beaten by those people. Then, he was cruelly forced to watch the entire process of them eating the child.
