Chapter 79: Stay Alive

Qin Xingyue put her hands into her coat, with a smile in her eyes: "Don't be polite, there's no point in talking too much, I'm waiting to see how you perform in the future!"

Lin Yanyan raised her head and smiled confidently: "We won't let you down!"

Not only for the sake of repaying a favor, but also for their own sake, the two siblings must change and grow.

What happened today was so sudden that it gave her a great shock. Now, thanks to the help of a benefactor, the two siblings are alive.

But who can guarantee that something like this won't happen again?

In the community, the neighbors who were familiar in the past have long since changed, becoming strange and scary. Today they can do things like murder and robbery, so no one can guarantee what they will do next.

This heavy snow has been going on for a month. There have been power outages, internet outages, and water outages. We don’t know what the situation is outside, but everyone’s mentality has changed during this snowstorm, and we can no longer treat everyone the same way as before.

If they want to survive, they must change.

Qin Xingyue noticed the other person's change and smiled slightly. She said nothing more and turned to leave.

"etc!"

At this time, Lin Ye, who had not spoken much, called Qin Xingyue. Qin Xingyue turned around and looked at him, but saw that his eyes were on the big knife in her hand: "Do you have other weapons? If so, can you give me the knife in your hand?"

Hearing this, Lin Yanyan became anxious and tried to pull her brother. This was Sister Xingyue's weapon, and her brother's words were too offensive.

However, Lin Ye ignored Lin Yanyan, but took two steps forward and looked at Qin Xingyue: "I need to grow up, but before I become stronger, I need a weapon that can protect me and my sister, so if you have other weapons, can you give me the knife? I need it!"

Lin Ye's eyes were full of determination. He knew that his request was a bit too greedy, but he had no other choice.

Now, he and his sister are too weak to deal with it alone. Once they are targeted, they won't even have the ability to resist. What happened today is a painful lesson.

But it would be different if he had weapons, at least he wouldn't be so weak, and he had just used that big knife, it was very sharp and very suitable for him.

So, he looked at Qin Xingyue: "I have to live!"

Seeing that it was useless to stop her brother, Lin Yanyan could only look at Qin Xingyue, not knowing whether the other party would be angry because of this.

But Qin Xingyue was calmer than they had imagined. She was not angry and there was no smile on her face. For a moment, the two of them could not figure out what Qin Xingyue was thinking and they were both a little nervous.

Many thoughts flashed through Qin Xingyue's mind. She really wanted to say, what does what he said have to do with her? If they want to become stronger and survive, they should find a way themselves. If they need weapons, they should go find them themselves.

She had already helped them once, so there was no reason to help them again.

But she swallowed all these words in her heart. She stared at the young face in front of her for a long time, then laughed softly: "Okay!"

The brother and sister didn't seem to expect that she would actually agree, and agreed so readily. They were surprised, but also ecstatic.

The two were about to speak, but they saw Qin Xingyue throw the knife in front of them, then turned and left: "Live on, both of you!"

Maybe in the future, living will become more and more difficult, and they will have to face more and more cruelty, but as long as they are alive, there is hope!

Qin Xingyue left very quickly this time. The two siblings looked at her back for a long time in silence.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yanyanyan said, Lin Ye picked up the big knife on the ground, and the two of them walked slowly towards their home.

In the stairwell of their floor, they met Uncle Li again. Uncle Li was startled when he saw the knives in their hands. He shifted his gaze to their faces and asked, "Are you two okay?"

"It's okay!" Lin Yanyan smiled and shook her head.

Uncle Li felt a little strange, and after thinking for a while, he said, "In the future, if you have any difficulties, come to me, and I will definitely help you if I can!"

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the thing hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Lin Yanyan: "Hide it well, don't let anyone know!"

Lin Yanyan looked down and saw half a bag of rice and a few biscuits. Her eyes moved slightly.

Lin Ye, who was standing by, was a little angry and was about to refuse, but Lin Yanyan spoke before him: "Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Then he put the things in his arms, gave the two of them a few instructions, and turned to go upstairs.

"Sister, he didn't help me before, why should I accept his favor?"

As soon as the door was closed, Lin Ye asked with some dissatisfaction.

Lin Yanyan sighed: "I know you blame Uncle Li for not helping to save Mom before, and for not stopping those people's evil deeds, but——"

She paused and said, "He can't change anything by himself, and it will hurt himself, so I can understand Uncle Li!"

"Besides, in that situation, he was already doing him the greatest kindness by not joining the others!"

"Now, he gave us some of the food in his home. I guess he knew that our house was robbed and was afraid that we would have nothing to eat. That's why he did this. If we had really been robbed before, this little bit of food could have temporarily saved our lives!"

"So, we should not resent Uncle Li, but be grateful!"

Lin Ye was silent, and Lin Yanyan ignored him, instead searching for something useful at home...

…

Qin Xingyue jumped into the window of the corridor on the fourth floor with nimbleness. The corridor was extremely quiet, no one made any sound except her footsteps. She whistled as she walked home. She had gained a little today, and she was in a very good mood.

Qin Xingyue, who returned home, didn't know that while she was whistling on her way upstairs, several families were shivering at home, repeatedly checking whether the doors and windows of their homes were closed.

It was as if the next moment, Qin Xingyue would appear in their house with a knife and hack them to death.

Among them was a family that had robbed Sister Lin's family before. He saw Qin Xingyue being on good terms with the siblings on the balcony, and was afraid that the other party would come and cause trouble for them in order to avenge the siblings.

Only when her voice faded away did they breathe a sigh of relief.

At night, those who had gone to Nanfeng Square to investigate the situation and those who had gone out to ask for explanations came back, but their faces looked very ugly and it seemed that the situation was very bad.

Some people were even injured and no one knew what had happened.

Someone came out to inquire about the situation, and they told the truth. At the same time, they learned what happened in the community, and none of them were in the mood to stay outside any longer, so they hurried back to their homes and closed the doors.
