She didn't want to meddle in other people's business before, but now she's here to save his grandfather's life with a purpose.

But looking at the changes in his facial expressions and the sudden burst of hatred in his eyes...

She suddenly felt a pang of pity and decided to save him.

Just like the selfless soldiers when the apocalypse first came.

Even at the cost of their own lives, they fought for a way to survive for ordinary people like them.

She too grew up in adversity, eventually reaching heights she never dared to imagine before.

What kind of achievements will this boy make in the future?

Just think of it as training a subordinate for myself first, and nurture him slowly like this.

Although I haven't decided what I want to do in the future.

However, cultivating talent first is also a good idea.

Looking at the disheveled appearance of the grandmother and grandson, Shen Mu Ning knew that their family must have been very well-off before.

This child is growing up in adversity; he's sure to have a bright future.

Thinking about it, she walked to the courtyard where Komo lived.

Even though it looks like the grandfather and grandson live in this courtyard.

But before Shen Mu Ning even stepped into the courtyard, she already knew how outrageous this place was.

Standing outside this courtyard, you can see everything inside.

The indigenous courtyard walls have collapsed, and the gate is also on the verge of collapse.

The situation in the courtyard was even more appalling.

The only room that the grandfather and grandson are currently living in is still intact.

At least one wall in each of the other rooms had collapsed, and the roof offered no shelter whatsoever.

Shen Mu Ning didn't knock on the door and walked straight into the courtyard.

He didn't knock until he reached the door of the room.

"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking interrupted Komo's thoughts.

He was startled by the sudden knocking on the door, which made him tremble.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, it suddenly bristled with sharp quills and glared fiercely at the door.

He only remembered that in the past two years, there were often soldiers with red lettering coming over.

They took away all their food and searched the place for any hidden money.

But every time they come, they leave cursing and swearing.

They've already taken all their family's assets, so how could they possibly have any money left?

So they haven't come for the past two years.

Why did it suddenly happen again today?

Shen Mu Ning, seeing the little brat suddenly become wary, still had considerable patience to communicate with him.

"Hey kid, what are you doing?" Shen Mu Ning walked straight in.

Como then realized that the person who came was not a Red Guard, but the person who had helped him that morning.

He breathed a sigh of relief and then relaxed his body.

"I didn't do anything. Did you need something from me?"

Although they knew this person was unlikely to harm them, they still wanted to find out why he had come.

Without saying a word, Shen Mu Ning handed him the medicine that had been packaged by the hospital.

Komo looked at the medicine in his hand, completely bewildered, and looked at Shen Muning with a puzzled expression.

"These are cold medicines, one packet is a dose."

Upon hearing this, Komo was initially overjoyed that there was medicine that could save his grandfather, but his guard slowly began to rise.

Grandpa once said that no one will suddenly be kind to someone unless there is something to gain from it.

"What do you want?" Although she had no choice in what he asked her to do.

If we want to save Grandpa now, we have no choice but to accept the medicine he gives us.

However, let's ask clearly first, so that we can die knowing why.

Shen Mu Ning inwardly praised him, "This kid is quite savvy."

What started as simply wanting him to keep watch over her has completely turned into wanting to train him to be her subordinate.

"I do have something for you to do, but it's definitely something you can do."

"Now, you should try to get your grandfather to take the medicine."

Shen Mu Ning didn't know how long the old man had been sick, but she decided to focus on saving him first.

Although I had just infused him with a small amount of wood-type energy to nourish his body.

But we still have to give him medicine, otherwise wouldn't there be a miracle of him recovering without medicine?

Komo understood that his grandfather had been suffering from a cold for a long time, and saving lives was the priority.

So he quickly crushed all the pills, dissolved them in a bowl of water, and slowly fed them to his grandfather.

After Kemo fed the medicine, he felt that his grandfather's complexion seemed to have improved.

He simply assumed he was too happy, which was why he felt the medicine was working so quickly.

He didn't know that what actually worked was Shen Mu Ning's wood-type ability.

Afterwards, Ke Mo and Shen Mu Ning left the room and had a long talk.

"Do you know there's a grand brick house and courtyard up ahead?"

Upon hearing the question, Komo knew which courtyard he was referring to.

Although there are many houses in this area, they are all brick and tile houses, except for the junkyard and another one.

Komo nodded. "I know that courtyard, but it seems to be haunted."

“When my grandfather and I first came here, we heard that the courtyard was haunted.”

"Anyone who goes there will get injured in an accident the next day."

"So after that, no one dared to go to that courtyard anymore, which is why it has been so well preserved."

Shen Mu Ning finally understood why such a nice courtyard hadn't been bought.

No one usually goes in to remove those bricks and tiles.

You know, bricks and tiles are so expensive these days, it would be strange if no one took advantage of a cheap one.

After hearing what Como said, it makes sense.

Everyone knows this place is haunted, so naturally no one wants to go in and risk their life.

Those people who collect antiques are really smart.

Just by leaving a message and injuring a few people, they can occupy this courtyard with its traps for free.
