What responded to Jiujiu was a heart-wrenching cough.
"Mom!" The water cup was put down heavily. Jiujiu rushed to the bedside and patted her mother's bony back with her little hands.
"Jiujiu...don't lie!" Mother's voice suddenly became stern.
Jiujiu bit her lip: "Well... I met them on the road! A few brothers and sisters who were looking for a place to live..."
She glanced at the door secretly: "They don't look like bad people, and they gave me a bag of bread!..."
Lu Nange knocked on the door frame at the right time.
Several boys stood in the middle of the living room and did not come closer.
Lu Nange and the other two girls stopped at the bedroom door.
The woman on the bed suddenly pulled her daughter into her arms and picked up the kitchen knife beside the bed with her other hand.
"My daughter didn't know better...she took your things...I'm going to give them back to you." She emphasized every word: "Now, please leave my house!"
When her face was fully turned towards the light, scars crisscrossed her entire face.
Lu Nange and the other two looked normal, but their pupils shrank slightly for a moment.
Wen Qing dug his nails deep into his palms, using the pain to maintain his outward calm.
Lu Nange pretended to take out a box of cough medicine from his pocket, but actually took it out from the system space, bent down and placed it on the cracked ground.
"It's cough medicine." She took a step back. "Excuse me."
Lu Nange and his companions turned around and left, and Jiujiu's mother loosened her grip on the kitchen knife.
"Do you like them?" Jiujiu's mother's voice suddenly softened.
"I like my mother!" Jiujiu answered immediately, and added in a low voice: "But they gave me bread, and it was a bag!"
"Let them live in the two rooms inside." Jiujiu's mother said suddenly, looking at the cough medicine on the ground.
Jiujiu's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly rushed to the door with her short legs - that was a bag of bread! It was enough for her and her mother to eat for a long time!
"Sister!" Jiujiu grabbed the corner of Lu Nange's clothes: "Mom said you can live in the inner room!"
Several people exchanged looks.
It’s still unclear where the Su family comes from, but with such a big fuss, people outside are probably looking for them.
The other party knows their special abilities so well.
Apparently he had been watching them.
If Ruo was determined to capture Wen Qing, there should be people watching those exits.
It is indeed the safest for them to stay here for the time being!
Everyone nodded slightly at Lu Nange.
Lu Nange squatted down and looked at Jiujiu: "Thank you. We will leave as soon as possible."
Jiujiu raised her little face and snorted in a mature manner: "For the sake of that bag of bread! Go in and don't disturb my mother's rest!"
After saying that, he turned around and slammed the door shut, shaking off a few wisps of dust.
Feeling the hostess's alertness, the few people tiptoed into the inner room.
After locking the door, they quickly checked the empty room.
The windows were covered with black curtains, there were traces of mildew on the mottled walls, and there were cobwebs in the corners, but there was nothing else unusual.
Lu Nange took out a few folding chairs from the space, and everyone could finally take a break.
A first-level crystal core like this is almost useless in the hands of a few people.
Gu Qi and He Zhuo each held a crystal core, feeling the weak energy fluctuations in it - even if they absorbed dozens of them, they could only barely fill a small part of the gap in their supernatural powers.
In comparison, Wen Qing's healing ability can help them recover their abilities faster.
Now they need to be in top form.
After sitting down, Wen Qing began to treat everyone in turn.
By the time Wen Qing recovered his supernatural powers, most of the crystal cores he had accumulated had been consumed.
