Chapter 311: Returning Geese

He Yuan glared at her with some dissatisfaction, then covered Chi Zhishan's mouth and nose with his hands:

"Zhishan, this mist is poisonous. You should go back first. I will take care of this."

Chi Zhishan pursed her lips and said, "You talk as if you are immune to all poisons! You just went out to find supplies yesterday, don't come into contact with the fog again. Come in, I'll take care of this."

How could He Yuan let her be alone with these two people of unknown origin?

So he stood there as usual, and said to the woman outside the courtyard gate in a bad tone: "Go away, we can't help you."

But the woman ignored him and kept her eyes fixed on Chi Zhishan.

"Good girl, please have mercy on us. I can do anything, but the child is still young!"

As he spoke, he pushed the thin little boy forward.

Chi Zhishan took a look at the child. His clothes and pants were all short and small, and they didn't fit him well. He looked clean and pretty, but his clothes were dirty and torn.

So I couldn't help but feel compassion: "What's wrong with you?"

The woman repeated what she had just said to He Yuan.

However, the effects of these two times are obviously different.

Chi Zhishan pondered for a moment, looked at the thick fog around her, and quickly replied, "It's too foggy outside, you two should come in and talk first."

The woman's face lit up: "Thank you, beautiful lady! Thank you!"

She could see that this girl had the final say in this family. So she thanked him happily and immediately patted her son: "Thank your sister."

The little boy said in a mosquito-like voice: "Thank you, sister."

He Yuan's face was full of disapproval, and he whispered, "Zhishan, after all, they are two strangers. Isn't it too dangerous to let them into the house like this?"

Chi Zhishan said slowly, "Everyone has difficulties sometimes, so help them if you can. Do you really want to be like those cold-blooded neighbors and watch others die?"

She still can't get over the fact that her neighbors stood by and did nothing during the previous earthquake.

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I often hear faint crying sounds from under the ruins of the house.

Faced with a similar choice at this moment, she certainly would not ignore it.

He Yuan still disagreed: "But..."

Chi Zhishan knew what he was worried about and pointed at the two people outside:

"One is a helpless child, and the other is a 1.6-meter-tall woman. Look at how thin that woman is, and her clothes are blowing away. Even if an orphan and a widow like this are really bad guys, can they beat you?"

The reason why Chi Zhishan dared to let them in was that she had something to rely on.

He Yuan is a very good personal bodyguard. He was kept in the Chi family because of his superb skills. Even a group of high-level bodyguards could not beat him.

Since there is a super bodyguard in charge and the other party is just an orphan and a widow, why not do some good deeds?

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She has always believed that everything has its cause and effect, and she should accumulate more blessings for herself.

The woman was standing far away and couldn't hear what they were saying. As if she was afraid that Chi Zhishan would go back on her words, she shouted again:

"Beauty?"

At Chi Zhishan's insistence, He Yuan went to open the door for the mother and son.

The woman took the little boy and walked quickly into the yard, thanking him repeatedly.

Chi Zhishan led them into the house and asked them to sit on the sofa: "What's your name?"

The woman took off the gas masks on herself and her child: "My name is Nan Guiyan."

Then he pointed at the little boy and said, "This is my son, Xiaojun."

Only then did Chi Zhishan see the two people's faces clearly.

The Migrant Goose has a very pretty appearance, but there are many fine lines at the corners of its eyes and shallow grooves on its nasolabial folds, revealing a sharpness that comes from the hardships of life.

Xiaojun looks very honest, and exudes a maturity that does not match his age. You can tell at first glance that he is not the kind of kid who would do naughty things.

Chi Zhishan looked at them and nodded, "Hello. My last name is Chi, and this is my friend, whose last name is He."

Nan Guiyan nodded awkwardly: "Ms. Chi, Mr. He, hello."

He Yuan did not sit down. The first thing he did after returning to the house was to put away all the kitchen knives and other things that could hurt people.

Then he stood behind the sofa and listened to their conversation. Every muscle in his body was on alert, ready to strike at any time if the other party made any unusual movement.

Hearing the woman's greeting, he didn't say anything and just stood there indifferently.

Chi Zhishan continued to ask: "How have you survived these two years? From what I heard, life in the city is not easy, right?"

Nan Guiyan wiped away a tear and said, "Yes, every day is like living in hell. We are alive today, all thanks to the child's father."

Chi Zhishan hesitated to speak: "The child's father..."

Nan Guiyan smiled bitterly and said, "He's dead. He died two days ago. The child's grandmother is also gone. Now it's just the two of us who are left to depend on each other."

"After the heavy fog came, everything was in chaos. The child's father became moody. That day, he was attacked by four angry young men with machetes..."

When she said this, she seemed to be overwhelmed and started crying with her hands covering her face.

Chi Zhishan couldn't bear it, so she handed her a piece of paper. Seeing that she was crying so sadly, she didn't ask any more questions, but whispered softly:

"I can provide you with a temporary place to stay. I will give you one of the rooms on the lower floor. However, we have limited food, so I can only lend you food for one day. You will need to find food on your own to fill your stomach in the future."

Chi Zhishan was talking to the woman while handing the little boy a candy:

"Please think about it. If you think it's okay, I'll clear out a room for you on the lower level."

The little boy took the candy but didn't put it in his mouth immediately. Instead, he looked at the packaging and taste for a while and then put it directly into his pocket.

Nan Guiyan was delighted: "Oh! Don't worry about it. Thank you so much!"

She excitedly held Chi Zhishan's hand and said, "I am already very grateful that you can let us stay here. How can I have the nerve to rely on you for food and drink? Don't worry, I will try my best to find food myself!"

Chi Zhishan smiled and said, "You're welcome."

She was obviously very satisfied with the woman's attitude and continued, "Although I can't provide you with food directly, I can show you a way."

Nan Guiyan asked earnestly, "You tell me."

Chi Zhishan glanced out the window and said, "When you came here, you should have seen the ruins, right?"

Nanguiyan nodded: "I saw it. What a pity, they are all good houses."

Chi Zhishan continued, "There are a lot of hidden resources in the ruins. If you are willing to work hard, you can dig out a lot of food. We don't have much food in stock, so we are currently relying on digging food from the ruins to survive.
