Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Si Ruxu doesn’t love this world…

Finally, the two of them walked and strolled along with the two pancakes in their arms, and finally stopped in front of a house that looked spacious with a lot of sawdust outside the door.

Different from the metallic layout of the core area of ​​the psychics, Area A is of the old-fashioned style, consisting mostly of small houses or tents. Ordinary people are still a minority, and most of them live in single-family houses with large yards.

The spaciousness of this house was quite obvious. As soon as I approached, I could hear the barking of the puppy inside, one after another, as if it had suffered a great injustice.

Si Qi knocked on the door gently: "Is anyone there?"

The person inside the door did not respond, but a puppy's head appeared from the crack of the door. The moment the puppy saw her, it made an inexplicable sound from its throat and started howling.

The door was pushed open, and about four or five puppies surrounded her at the same time, nudging Siqi's hands with their heads, and some bit the corners of her clothes, as if seeking to be petted.

Si Qi curled his lips, touched them one by one, and asked with a smile while stroking them: "Did you miss me? You look like you are living well here."

An old woman walked out slowly from the door. Si Qi was wearing a mask, so she squinted her eyes and could hardly recognize her.

People who keep puppies are somewhat wary, especially in the end times. She walked over with her cane and hit Si Qi on the hand: "What are you doing? Are you another dog thief?"

A light red mark soon appeared on the back of Si Qi's hand where he was hit by the crutch. Si Ruxu gently covered it with his hand, and the cool feeling dissipated some of the pain.

Si Qi quickly took off the mask on his face, his eyebrows curved: "Grandma, I am Si Qi."

Although the old woman was old, her eyes were not cloudy. When she saw Si Qi, there were tears in her eyes. She pulled Si Qi's hand and patted it gently.

"Oh, you little kid, why are you still wearing a mask when you come back? I thought it was those damn dog thieves again."

"Dog thief? Grandma, did you say someone came to steal the dog?"

"It's those beasts who want to eat dog meat! Last month, Da Huang gave birth to five puppies, and three were stolen by dog ​​eaters! It's the dead of night, and everyone is fast asleep. Who would have noticed..."

Si Qi frowned slightly. Logically speaking, no one in Luo Fenghe's base would be unable to afford food, and there was the huge sum of money she had donated at that time.

That means they simply want to eat dog meat.

Sure enough, where there are people, there are animals.

Si Qi lowered his eyes to hide the cold light that flashed across his face, but a faint smile still appeared on the corner of his lips: "Grandma, I will talk to them nicely, you don't have to worry about dog thieves."

"And don't tell anyone else that I came back to see you. I have an important mission, okay?"

When the old man heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. The situation in the end times was complicated, and even ordinary people who were well protected knew how difficult it was. The worry only circled in his eyes twice, and then was suppressed.

She was afraid of becoming a burden.

The old man took them into the house. The house was very large and spacious. The incandescent lamps were a little shaky, and many boxes were carefully built and pieced together to form a home for small animals.

Simple, but not perfunctory.

A puppy's head quietly popped out from one of the big boxes, and then three other heads popped out, staring at her curiously.

Si Qi walked forward and saw a blanket in the box and four puppies huddled together on a chair. The puppies looked small and timid. When they saw her coming, they retracted their heads, leaving only a pair of eyes still looking curiously.

Si Qi squatted down and observed these little guys carefully.

She originally only wanted to take good care of the five dogs, but she didn't expect that in such a difficult environment in the end times, four puppies would be born.

The four puppies had shiny fur. They were only a month old, but they looked larger than the one-month-old puppies she had seen before the apocalypse. They must have been well-fed.

The old man came over and saw her staring at the puppies in a daze, her face wrinkled with smile, and her eyes had some loneliness and kindness that belonged to the older generation.

In her eyes, Si Qi and these little puppies were all children. There were rumors about some savior outside, but it was too heavy for a young man in his twenties to bear such a heavy burden in the end times.

"These are a few because a puppy was stolen before. They are timid and they hide in the shadows and dare not come out when there are strangers around."

"When the old dog gave birth to them, it was really hard... Each one was thin and weak. The old dog was old and had been wandering outside for two years with nothing to eat or milk, so I bought goat milk from outside to feed them."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, grandma." Si Qi curved his eyes.

The older generation doesn’t keep pets like the younger generation does. They don’t want to give them the best environment and buy them the most expensive toys. Just like they won’t spend a lot of money to build a doghouse for these puppies or customize special dog food for them.

Maybe it’s because it’s the end of the world, or maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to waste the points given by Si Qi.

But thriftiness and perfunctoriness are two different things. She could see the wooden toys and cat climbing frames the old man made for the puppy, and the sawdust in the yard outside were traces of the old man's polishing.

She used to be afraid that people who received her donation points would pocket the money themselves.

Now that I think about it, it’s rare to find someone so serious and untainted by the end of the world.

Perhaps Si Qi was not familiar with the old woman, but she had seen Si Qi in photos thousands of times. She held Si Qi's hand tightly for a long time, then sighed deeply: "You have lost weight... You have lost weight."

Thousands of words were reduced to these two words. Si Qi could feel the weight of them. A relaxed smile flickered in her eyes: "It would be great if the apocalypse was over."

Si Ruxu was standing not far behind, her eyes closely following the lively person with a gentle smile in his eyes.

At this moment, Si Qiqi turned around and his gaze fell into Si Ruxu's gentle eyes. The amber pool of water was suddenly startled and a white wave appeared. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but was stopped by the owner of these eyes.

An absurd thought arose from the bottom of Si Qi's heart.

Si Ruxu may not love this world. She doesn't like the end of the world, but she doesn't look forward to the world after the end of the world. She doesn't like puppies and kittens, and she doesn't care about these ordinary people who are struggling to survive.

Just like she had known a long time ago, Si Ruxu didn't even care about her own life.

So what does she care about?

A huge rock hit Si Qi's calm heart, causing turbulent waves, and his originally bright eyes became dim.

She seemed to know the answer, in Si Ruxu's eyes, in the gaze directed at her that ignored all other colors.

But Si Ruxu was hiding something from her. Besides love, what else had she revealed to her?

Before the air froze again, she felt a strong pull from under her pants. She lowered her eyes and saw a gray puppy biting her trouser leg and pulling it down.

Seeing her looking at her, the puppy wagged its tail and howled. She squatted down, and it came over and rubbed her palm.

"The puppy likes you and wants to go home with you." The old man joked with a smile, gently stroking the puppy's head with his wrinkled hands.

Si Qi was stunned. It's not that she hadn't heard that some small animals would choose their own owners, but she had never thought that these small animals would choose her as their owner.

She was a little amused and her originally cold eyes softened again. She teased the puppy gently and looked at Si Ruxu behind her.

"When the apocalypse is over, we'll take it away, okay?"

"……good."

The puppy seemed to understand what they were saying, and in the end it just walked them to the door and stood there watching their backs gradually disappear.

There is a smell of earth in the wind, it must be raining again.

There was a place in Si Ruxu's heart that was swollen and sore.

She could sense that the light in Si Qi's eyes dimmed the moment he saw her. A seed of panic that had been planted at some unknown time grew bigger and bigger, so dense that it blocked out all the sunlight that was directed at her.

She and Si Qi were in a legitimate relationship, lovers in love, but there was a very thin membrane between them.

The only thing they can't do is open their hearts to each other.

"Should we go home now? Or go shopping again?" Si Ruxu held Si Qi's hand, feeling the warmth from his body, as if this could hide some of her panic.

Si Qi shook his head: "I want to go see the man who stole the dog."

The land here is all mud, and the smell and blood will remain underground and won't go away for a long time.

Where the puppy was killed and cooked, there would definitely be traces of blood. Moreover, this is an ordinary residential area, where no one would slaughter pigs or sheep, and no one would fight.

If the dog thief wanted to get rid of the puppy secretly, he wouldn't go to the trouble of going outside. Outside, there are patrols and lasers sweeping around the clock, so he can only do it at home.

Si Ruxu nodded. She was actually quite happy. This was the first time that Si Qi took the initiative to help some people and resolve disputes between them.

She wondered if this proved that she had regained some normal thinking.

Area A is not big, and there are not many ordinary people there. Si Qi followed the information given by the land and found an alley.

The alley was very dilapidated. Although it was noon, the scorching sun could not illuminate the inside. Under the broken tiles, a small grass grew out in a curved shape. It was the only green in the alley, but it looked listless at this moment.

The space was filled with stones, and any slight movement would cause a lot of noise. Si Qi simply isolated a small area and teleported himself and Si Ruxu into it.

The isolated space was hidden under other spaces. She saw a dilapidated, empty house in the alley.

She approached the house. The walls were broken and had some small holes. There was little light in the house, only the faint sound of breathing.

With a damp smell.

"Little one..."

"Grandma, I'm here."

There were old people and children again. A complicated look flashed in Si Qi's eyes. He tilted his ear to listen carefully to the voices inside.
