"Oh my, the living room is so cold!" Song Tianyuan walked out of the warm bedroom, shivering with cold.

But although my body is cold, my heart is warm.

Their daughter was really capable. She actually used a trick to cut off the source of the problem, leaving the two people who came to cause trouble speechless.

Because half of the window was ruthlessly removed, the temperature in the living room dropped sharply to below zero, like an ice cellar.

Song Yue quickly got into the space, took out the windows, sofa, and radiator one by one, and put them back in their original places.

After doing all this, the temperature in the house finally began to slowly rise.

But then, bang bang bang.

The door knocked again.

Judging from the slow rhythm of the knocks on the door, it shouldn't be the Qiao siblings.

Song Yue signaled to the two of them that she would do it.

Standing behind the first door, she looked through the peephole.

"Who is it?" Lin Xiaojuan was extremely nervous, fearing that someone would come and cause trouble again.

"Grandma Wang next door," she said.

"Ah? Grandma Wang? What does she want us to do?" Lin Xiaojuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason.

"It's okay, Mom. You and Dad, just keep quiet. I'll go open the door."

Song Yue had not had much contact with Grandma Wang next door and was not very familiar with her, but she had heard her mother mention her several times before. Grandma Wang was an elderly person living alone. Her husband died early and her children did not visit her often.

Thinking that she was the only elderly person in the family, Song Yue felt that Grandma Wang might want to seek help from them.

So he stood between the first and second doors, deliberately closed the second door, and only pushed the first security door open a crack.

"Grandma Wang?" She smiled politely.

The old woman, half a head shorter than her, stood hunched over in the cold wind. Seeing the door slightly open, she hurriedly and tremblingly picked up the basket in her hand and handed it to the door: "Are you Song Yue? It's been a long time since we last met. You've grown so much. Here, this is a little gift from grandma. Take it."

Song Yue was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was here to deliver food to their home.

The basket contained three red apples and three boxes of wafer biscuits. Although there were not many things, it was filled with Grandma Wang's full care.

Song Yue's nose felt sore, and she quickly pushed the basket back: "Grandma, we don't need it, you can eat it yourself!"

"Don't be polite, kid. I saw those two people who were picking on you. You don't have anything at home, and you must be freezing right now. Take it, there's more at grandma's house."

"No, grandma, please keep it for yourself. We still have food to eat, really!" Song Yue refused repeatedly.

How could she take things from an elderly person living alone? It would be against her conscience.

After saying that, he turned around and quickly took five bags of hot milk and five freshly boiled eggs from the kitchen and stuffed them into Grandma Wang's basket: "Grandma, take them, they are all hot, eat them while they are hot!"

As he spoke, he sent Grandma Wang home.

Grandma Wang couldn't persuade her, so she had to put down the basket and give up.

When she arrived at Grandma Wang's house, Song Yue felt a cold wind blowing in her face. Only then did she realize that Grandma Wang's house was as cold as an ice cellar.

Since the house here faces north, it receives limited sunlight throughout the year. And now with this weather, the whole house cannot get any warmth at all.

It was even colder than the corridor outside with the windows sealed.

Song Yue felt a little uncomfortable. At first, she thought that the other party had something to do with her family, but her grandmother ignored the situation at her own home and insisted on giving them food.

She doesn't think she is a warm-hearted person, but if someone is kind to her, she will not turn a blind eye or be indifferent.

Realizing that Grandma Wang's house was unusually cold, Song Yue thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, I'll get you a hot water bottle to warm your hands."

"No, child..." Grandma Wang wanted to stop her, but her movements were not as fast as the young man's. She failed to stop him and saw Song Yue slip away.

Soon, Song Yue took out an old-fashioned hot water bottle filled with hot water and put it into Grandma Wang's hand.

Grandma Wang was flattered and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, this is a good thing, child, I can't have it."

"Grandma, I still have several at home." Song Yue said with a smile, "Also, my family boiled a lot of hot water a month ago, and now it's all filled in the thermos. We can't use it all. Just take it, don't refuse it anymore."

"This... I don't have the nerve to use it..." Grandma Wang's face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Just now she heard the child say that his family was short of money and they had sold a lot of valuable things. She thought that as an old person, she could not eat too much food, so she might as well give some to their family. But not only did they not want the food, they also gave it to her instead. This made her, who had lived for decades, feel so ashamed.

She didn't know the real situation of Song Yue's family, and she believed that the other family was not doing well, so she refused to accept him.

Song Yue had no choice but to pretend to be unhappy.

Only then did Grandma Wang accept it by rubbing her hands.

Putting a small hot water bottle in your arms will warm your chest and palms instantly.

Grandma Wang, who hadn't felt warmth for nine days, treasured the hot water bottle like a treasure: "Thank you, child. You see, I can't help your family at all. I'm so embarrassed..."

Song Yue smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, grandma. If you need any help in the future, just come to us."

After saying that, he closed the door for Grandma Wang and sighed.

This world is too cruel to ordinary people who are not prepared at all.

First it was my good friend Liang Han, and then it was Grandma Wang.

I really hope that the reborn people in the government can come up with a solution as soon as possible so that everyone doesn’t have to suffer.

During lunch, Lin Xiaojuan chatted idly: "What's going on with your friend Xiaohan? Why did he suddenly return to China?"

Song Yue picked up a piece of braised pork with preserved vegetables and ate it with the fragrant rice. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. I asked her yesterday, and she said something happened at home and she didn't have time to tell me."

"Oh, I see." Lin Xiaojuan didn't take it to heart and casually guessed, "Her family is in business, so I guess she might return to China to take over her father's business?"

"I'm not sure about that." Song Yue shrugged and didn't make any extra comments.

The topic at the table quickly shifted, and Lin Xiaojuan and Song Tianyuan began to express their thoughts on the current situation.

Song Yue didn't listen much, she was still thinking about Liang Han.

I don’t know if it’s because of her rebirth, but a lot of things have changed in this life, not only the entire country Z, but also the people and things around her.

For example, Liang Han. After the natural disaster in the previous life, the two had no intersection at all. On the one hand, it was because she was busy with her own affairs, and on the other hand, she had never seen the other party come to her community.

For example, Grandma Wang. In her memory, Grandma Wang never knocked on her door in her previous life, and she has never seen Grandma Wang leave the house since then.

I don’t know if it’s God’s will, but in this life, she seems to have more opportunities to help those who are good to her.

At night, the whole city falls into darkness.

Even if Song Yue had electricity available, he would not dare to use the light openly in front of the whole community.

So when it got dark, Song Tianyuan skillfully turned off all the lights, leaving only the refrigerator and radiator running.

Some residents have candles at home and will light one or two at night, but they will be blown out soon.

When the government did not intervene, they did not dare to waste supplies at will, so unless it was necessary, most people would use candles sparingly.

In this context, Song Yue's family did not dare to light candles all night. Basically, after 8 o'clock in the evening, Song Tianyuan would take the initiative to blow them out to avoid attracting the attention of other families.

It was not yet 8 o'clock. Song Yue thought that the hot water bottle he had replaced for Grandma Wang during the day must have been cold, so he filled it with a new one and knocked on Grandma Wang's door.

Boom boom boom.

"Grandma, I'm Song Yue. I'm here to change your hot water bottle." Song Yue shrank her neck and waited outside the door.

But there was no movement behind the door.

The old lady had poor hearing, so she knocked a few more times with more force: "Grandma! I'm Song Yue! Please open the door!"

Still silent.

Did he fall asleep?

Song Yue was suspicious. It was 7:45 now, and it was not impossible that some elderly people went to bed early.

Thinking it would be better not to disturb the old man’s sleep, I stopped knocking on the door and went back home.

Since she didn't change the hot water bottle, she kept it for herself.

The night without electricity and internet is extremely quiet, and the whole world seems to be paused.

Song Yue has become accustomed to this rhythm. There are many books she bought in the past on the bedside table. She can pick up any one of them, snuggle in the quilt, and use the light of the flashlight to pass the time.

As I watched, I gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep.

At around 4 o'clock in the morning, footsteps were heard upstairs.

Nowadays, people generally go to bed early and wake up early.

But she stayed up late reading a physical novel yesterday and didn't go to bed until after 10 o'clock in the evening, so she turned over, ignored the noise upstairs, and continued to sleep.

It was a little past 6 in the morning, and it was already getting light outside the window. The smell of breakfast wafted into the living room.

Song Yue slowly got up, washed up, and only sat down to eat after that.

"Did Grandma Wang accept the hot water bottle I brought for her yesterday?" Song Tianyuan asked while chewing a meat bun.

He and Lin Xiaojuan had heard from Song Yue about Grandma Wang sending food to their house yesterday. They were both indescribably touched, so they kept thinking about the hot water bottle.

Song Yue shook her head: "No, I knocked twice, but he probably fell asleep and didn't hear it."

"Okay, remember to knock on the door again after breakfast." Song Tianyuan reminded.

"I know, Dad."

After breakfast, Song Yue picked up two big, hot meat buns, brought a freshly filled hot water bottle, and continued to knock on the door.

Boom boom boom.

The room was still very quiet, without any sound of footsteps.

Song Yue listened at the door for a while, thought about it, and knocked several times in a row.

However, there was no response.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She hurried back to the house, put her things down, and said to her father, "Dad, Grandma Wang hasn't opened the door yet. Hurry up and get some tools to see if you can pry the door open and see what's going on."

Upon hearing the sound, Song Tianyuan immediately took his things and went out. Lin Xiaojuan was responsible for looking after the house and did not follow him out.

My father was skilled in craftsmanship, and the door of Grandma Wang's house was pried open soon.

Song Yue stepped in and looked around: "Grandma Wang, are you okay? I'm Song Yue, I'm here to bring you breakfast..."

The word "morning" got stuck in Song Yue's throat, and his blood suddenly froze and his whole body stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Song Tianyuan saw that something was wrong with her and followed her.

In the only bedroom, Grandma Wang was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, very quiet.

If the previous situation of no response when knocking on the door had not happened, anyone who came to see him would think that the old man was sleeping soundly.

But only Song Yue knew that this was not the case...

She tried to move her steps, hoping to get closer to Grandma Wang.

But Song Tianyuan gently stopped him: "Let me do it."

Song Tianyuan quickly walked to the bedside, reached out his hand, touched Grandma Wang's face, lowered his eyes, and whispered: "She's gone..."

How could this happen?!

Song Yue opened her eyes, unable to believe it.

She rushed over and touched Grandma Wang through the quilt.

The body under the quilt was cold and stiff...

There was absolutely no sign of life.

Why?! Song Yue didn't understand. Grandma Wang was fine yesterday, why?

And with the hot water bottle she gave me, I wouldn't have...

His heart was pounding in his chest, and Song Yue didn't understand what was wrong!

"Daughter, go back first..." Song Tianyuan sighed, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

The old man who was so kind as to send food to his family yesterday was gone in the blink of an eye.

Song Yue clenched her fists, her eyes wet with tears. She said nothing and suddenly turned around.

After a while, she brought back a bunch of dried flowers and gently placed them on Grandma Wang's pillow.

"Grandma, I hope you have a good dream."

After saying that, she wiped away her tears and went back to the house with her father.

When Lin Xiaojuan saw Song Yue going back to the house to get dried flowers, she noticed something was wrong. When the two came back, her guess was confirmed.

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

The family stared at the dark TV screen in a daze.

"Maybe the old man's body can't bear it. It's hard for young people to endure this weather, let alone the old man..." Song Tianyuan sighed.

"Actually, Grandma Wang is a very nice person..." Lin Xiaojuan lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. "When I ran into her in the neighborhood before, she would always tell me which market had the freshest vegetables and which store sold the best pork... It was only after I listened to her advice that I realized that Grandma Wang is really good at choosing things."

"When you were in junior high, Grandma Wang asked you which high school you were going to. She heard you had good grades and kept praising you. Later, you actually got into the experimental class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city for free. Grandma Wang was so happy that she sent our family a basket of fruit..."

Song Yue was stunned when she heard this: "Mom, you never told me this before!"

If she had known that Grandma Wang was kind to her family and had sent them fruits, she would never have returned to the house like this last night. She would not feel at ease until she heard a response no matter what.

There might have been a chance last night...!

She could have saved a kind-hearted old man...!

Instead of waiting until this morning for her to discover the problem.

Song Tianyuan also had some complaints, frowning: "Why didn't you tell us this yesterday? Now it's too late for us to do anything."

"This...how can you blame me for this? How would I know that something like this would happen..." Lin Xiaojuan looked aggrieved and muttered.

"Forget it, Mom, Dad and I don't blame you." Song Yue sighed.

She was also upset just now and subconsciously put the blame on her mother.

"It's my fault. I spoke impulsively just now." Song Yue paused and said, "This is my fault. I was too careless... Otherwise, Grandma Wang wouldn't..."

As family, Lin Xiaojuan quickly calmed down, sat down next to her, and comforted her, "Xiaoyue, don't be too sad. We've tried our best..."

Seeing this, Song Tianyuan also said: "Yes, your mother is right. No one could have predicted this. We have done our part, and the rest can only be left to fate."

This is the truth, but when death really happens before our eyes, no one can say with an open mind that they can accept it.

The three of them stopped talking, then stood up one by one in tacit understanding and went back to their respective work.

They can't keep thinking about this, otherwise it will be like a big stone weighing on their hearts forever.

Song Yue returned to her bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking quietly.

Yesterday I was secretly rejoicing that I could save the people around me in my new life, but who knew that God would slap me hard in the face this morning!

She forced a wry smile, lowered her eyes, and murmured, "Song Yue, don't think you're that powerful. In the face of natural disasters, you'll be even more insignificant than you think."

On August 10, the three of them spent the day feeling sad over the loss of Grandma Wang.

On August 11, Song Yue got up very early.

Seeing her put on thick clothes, Lin Xiaojuan was suspicious: "Are you going out?"

Song Yue: "Well, I'm worried about Liang Han, so I'm going to go check on him."

Grandma Wang’s death yesterday was a wake-up call for her.

On the one hand, it warned her of the ruthlessness of nature, and that anyone who was negligent might suffer from disaster; on the other hand, she realized one thing.

The reason why she didn't encounter Grandma Wang delivering food in her previous life was because her family was not harassed by the Qiao brothers and sisters at that time.

If she had not been pestered, she would not have mentioned selling the items at home, Grandma Wang would not have known about her family's situation, and she would not have gone out to deliver food afterwards.

Considering her memory, there was never any movement in Grandma Wang's house in her previous life.

This probably means that Grandma Wang also passed away at this time in her previous life.

It's just that she didn't pay attention and didn't know at that time.

In this life, she clearly had the opportunity to reverse the outcome, but she missed the chance due to her negligence.

For this reason, she tossed and turned all night, wondering in her mind whether Liang Han was in the same situation as Grandma Wang?

In early August of her previous life, she went out with the search team every day.

If Liang Han had also been robbed at the gate of her community at that time, it is very likely that Liang Han would have been in trouble at that time.

Yes, if that's the case, it all makes sense!

No wonder she never heard any news about Liang Han in her previous life.

Because Liang Han had died on August 8th in his previous life!

After thinking about it all night, Song Yue couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he got up in the morning.

No, the system gave her another chance, she couldn't just stand by and watch!

After saying hello to Lin Xiaojuan and Song Tianyuan, she rushed downstairs.

Put on the ice skates and walk all the way.

The cold wind was blowing, and she felt the blood trembling all over her body.

After returning to the apartment from Song Yue's house, Liang Han has been in a bad mood.

His family went bankrupt and he went from being a rich second-generation to a pauper. He had no special skills and relied entirely on his good friends for support.

She never dreamed that such a gap would happen to her.

To be honest, she really envied Song Yue's family conditions.

There is hot water, heating, and plenty of food.

And what about her?

I could only wrap myself in a thick coat and huddle in the quilt with my mother, living a hard life.

Liang's mother rubbed her hands constantly, breathing into them as they froze. "What do you think your friend Song Yue does? How come her family is so powerful?"

It is not easy to send a box of instant noodles, a box of water, or even a large lithium battery to her home.

Liang Han smiled bitterly. "It's just an ordinary family. Didn't I tell you before? Her mother worked in a factory, but later retired due to poor health. Her father used to run a repair shop, but I don't know what he's doing now."

"Oh, I see..." Liang's mother's tone was a little more judgmental. "Then your friend's family is not good, so how come he ends up playing with you?"

Liang Han glared at her: "Mom, what are you talking about? Song Yue is my friend!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I asked." Liang's mother said, "Look at how many things she gave you. It seems that she is not an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Liang Han laughed speechlessly: "If he is not an ordinary person, how can he be a superman? Okay, Mom, don't guess blindly. My family just has the habit of hoarding things. Plus, Song Yue has a blue card job and receives a lot of supplies, so this is redundant."

She didn't tell her mother that Song Yue's house had heating, so as to avoid her mother from thinking too much.

No one knows a mother better than her daughter. Liang's mother did not think about Song Yue's family anymore, but she turned around and mentioned Liang's father.

"If you ask me, it's all your dad's fault. He started a building materials business out of nowhere and even mortgaged our house. If your dad hadn't done this, how could our family be so short of these things?"

"Your mom may not be good at other things, but I'm an expert at hoarding things. Remember your Aunt Feifei? She went to Europe in the first half of the year and did that purchasing agent thing. I bought a lot of food back then, all local specialties. It filled up half the basement."

"What a pity we moved in such a hurry that we didn't bring any food with us. Otherwise, how could we rely on your friend for help? Sigh..."

Speaking of this, Liang's mother couldn't help but sigh.

Liang Han looked at his mother and smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

The cold bedroom fell silent.

Suddenly, she heard some noise coming from the door!

"Mom, there seems to be someone at the door!"

She jumped out of bed instantly, scaring Liang's mother.

She ran to the door and listened carefully.

Click, click, click...

I looked at the door handle again and saw that the door lock was moving!

The scene of being robbed by the two strong men flashed back to her mind, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze. She stumbled into the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife, and faced the door tremblingly.

“…Mom…come out quickly…someone is prying the door open…” she stammered.

Mother Liang had never seen such a scene before. She was immediately terrified and lost her mind. She ran out of the bedroom and rushed around the living room like a headless fly. "Knife... do you still have a knife? Hanhan, do you remember where you put the fruit knife?"

“…It should, should be on the bedside table in the bedroom…” Liang Han tried hard to recall.

Liang's mother rushed back to the bedroom, but the next second, she started yelling again: "There's nothing on the bedside table? Hanhan, think about it, didn't you peel an apple the day before yesterday?"

At this moment, Liang Han's mind was full of how to deal with the person outside the door, and she had no time to care about anything else. However, Liang's mother's anxious voice came from the bedroom from time to time. For a moment, her brain was like it was filled with glue, and she couldn't think at all!

"Mom, can you please stop making noise!" she couldn't help but yell.

My thoughts return to the front.

The lock on the door moved more and more violently, and she found that the sweat on her back was increasing.

Crunch——

Just as Liang's mother was still looking for the fruit knife, the door slowly opened.

His eyes were like those of jackals in the dark night, staring greedily at her and the things behind her.

Liang Han felt hot all over, as if there were flames running through his body.

"I'm warning you...! You're not allowed to come in!" She tried hard to control her voice, trying to sound authoritative.

However, in the eyes of the man at the door, she looked like a lamb caught in the tiger's mouth, powerless to resist.

"Hehe, do you think you can do anything to me?" The man in the down jacket smiled slyly. Not only was he not afraid, but he walked into the living room without a care in the world, snatched the kitchen knife from Liang Han's hand, opened the window, and threw it down the stairs with a bang!

"Give me all the food in your house and I will let you go." He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming.

Liang Han was so frightened that her thighs went limp, but her mind was still online. She forgot about the food in the living room, swallowed her saliva, and finally said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll give it all to you. You keep your word!"

The man chuckled and started moving things, muttering to himself as he did so: "It would be great if I could only meet obedient girls like you. A few days ago, I met a stupid guy who insisted on protecting her food. I had no choice but to kill his whole family."

Kill the whole family...

Liang Han trembled all over. He could say so lightly that he had killed someone. She'd better not mess with this guy.

Thinking of this, she stepped back obediently, trying to give him as much space as possible for the transportation.

The man was also happy and kept humming a song.

Liang Han thought that she and her mother could escape.

However, the next second, a figure rushed out from the bedroom!

"Mom, don't!"

She screamed in horror, but it was too late!

Liang's mother found a fruit knife from somewhere and stabbed the man in the back!

The man took a side step and dodged quickly.

Liang's mother's attack missed and she fell into the corner.

"I think I just said that if anyone doesn't cooperate, I'll just kill them."

This time, the gleam in the man's eyes was gone, replaced by an extremely cold murderous intent.

Liang Han was terrified and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Please, don't do it... My mother doesn't know anything, she didn't hear anything... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everything is yours, we don't want anything!"

The man looked down at her coldly, "It's a pity, it's too late."

As he said that, he took out a dagger from his pocket!

He strode to Liang's mother, raised his arm, and stabbed her with a knife!

"No!!!" Liang Han shouted at the top of his lungs!

"Ah——!" Liang's mother screamed at the same time, "My back...!"

The man laughed coldly and pulled out a dagger with a "whoosh".

Blood suddenly gushed out like a fountain, soaking Liang's mother's clothes.

"Mother!"

Liang Han knelt on her knees and struggled to crawl to her mother's side. At the same time, she glared with red eyes and screamed angrily: "My mother didn't hurt you, why are you doing this!!!"

"Haha, no one's hurt?" The man licked the hot blood on the dagger and said word by word, "If I hadn't reacted quickly just now, I would be the one lying on the ground now!"

His eyes were gloomy and chilling.

Liang Han's lips trembled, and he wanted to refute, but found that he didn't have the courage.

Suddenly, the man's eyes changed when he looked at her.

He slowly squatted down, grabbed her collar, half-closed his eyes, and said meaningfully: "However, if you want to live, you can answer a question for me. If you answer well, I will let your mother go. If you answer badly, the result... you know."

Liang Han bit his lower lip, feeling that this was not a good problem.

But she had no choice, for her mother, she had to face it.

"Okay, you go ahead." She said, biting her back teeth.

Man: "That day, the girl who hurt my brother in Nanshan Community, which building and number did she live in?"

Liang Han's head buzzed and he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.
