Chapter 188 The Good Mother Carefully Selected by the Stars
This is a woman who looks extremely haggard.
He was soaked all over, and even after hiding in the corridor for so long, water was still dripping down his body. His hair was disheveled, and he was pressed to the ground, but he still raised his head and stared at Tan Zhaozhao who came out of the room with scarlet eyes filled with madness and resentment.
The two people did not know each other.
Tan Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and looked at her, raised his hand to adjust the mask he had just put on his face, and then asked: "Do you still need cold medicine?"
Her voice was gentle, and she didn't look at all alert as she was nervously clutching the knife behind the door, fully on guard.
The woman on the ground looked at her hatefully, and laughed miserably, "Medicine? My child is dead. Do you know what he said to me when he died? He said, 'Mom, I really want to take medicine!' He used to be most afraid of bitterness and hated taking medicine, but when he died..."
Tan Zhaozhao clenched his still trembling hands behind his back and interrupted her calmly: "Since it is no longer necessary, then the purpose of your saying those things outside the door was to lure me out so that you could attack me, right?"
As she spoke, her eyes had already found a syringe that Su Mingyue had confiscated from the woman.
The needle tip was long and slender, and the syringe was filled with red liquid. Tan Zhaozhao could already guess what it was.
So, without waiting for the woman to speak, she asked again: "Why me? How did you choose me?"
She is very curious.
He also laughed at himself a bit, thinking that he was really unlucky. From the early days of the apocalypse when he met Song Qianyi, who was reborn with a golden finger, to being found as a neighbor by the special team, and now being chosen by a woman he had never met to become the first target of revenge against society.
If it wasn't the end of the world, Tan Zhaozhao would have held Xingxing and dragged Li Shan to all the major temples and Taoist temples nearby to pay their respects.
Before asking, Tan Zhaozhao had thought of many possibilities in his mind.
But reality always seems to choose the unexpected.
Because the woman cursed her with hatred: "My child died of illness, why is your child still alive and well?!"
It is no exaggeration to say that when the woman said this, the entire corridor fell silent.
After a long while, Li Shan asked in confusion: "...Ah? Zhao Zhao, when did you have a child? How come I didn't know?!"
Chen Yi and others: "..."
Your last question is the point, right?
The woman also understood. She froze for a moment, then she struggled to turn her head and look at Li Shan. Her bloodshot eyes seemed ready to bulge out at any moment. She shouted hoarsely, "Didn't you say she had a child? You told me! You said her child and my Bao'er have the same name!!"
It is for this reason that the woman poured all her resentment onto Tan Zhaozhao after her son fell ill and died.
She followed Li Shan and others, and after finding out Tan Zhaozhao's address, she hid in the building. After Li Shan and others left, she knocked on Tan Zhaozhao's door with the tube of blood drawn from her son.
Why did my star die of a serious illness, while another woman's star is still alive and well?
Why is it that as a mother, I failed to protect Baoer, while another woman is so lucky, not only having a healthy child, but also having friends and official support? !
Why?!
Since fate is so unfair, she will personally break the happiness and warmth that shouldn't exist in this doomsday!
She had been planning for so long...but now she was told that everything she had painstakingly planned was not true from the beginning?
The other party doesn't even have a child named Xingxing? !
The woman struggled very hard, but this time, all her madness and unwillingness were directed at Li Shan. She didn't believe that she had misheard or remembered it wrongly. When the supplies were distributed, this person had clearly said it so clearly! !
"Sister, next time don't let the child sneak out to play in the water again. The water is so deep now, it's very dangerous for him to be without an adult watching."
"Kid, what's your name? If I catch you playing in the water again, I'll tell the police and have them arrest you. Are you afraid?"
"Ah? Your name is Xiaoxing? What a coincidence, I also know a little fellow named Xingxing. Its mother loves it very much, just like your mother loves you the most. She protects it like the apple of her eye and won't let her say a harsh word to it."
"You want to be friends with it? Sure, it lives upstairs from me. Be good, and when the rain stops, I'll take you to play with that star when I have the chance, okay? But the prerequisite is that both you and its mother must agree~"
The woman stared at Li Shan, and in the face of her incredulous gaze, she repeated every word that Li Shan had said above, word by word, in a hoarse voice and with gritted teeth.
Li Shan's emotions changed from confusion to shock, and finally to a heart-pounding fear.
"Are you sick?!" she couldn't help but blurt out to the woman.
How could a normal person remember this kind of conversation? It would be fine if they remembered it so clearly, but after their own child died, they would be so crazy to take revenge on another completely innocent family? !
Li Shan couldn't understand this woman's train of thought at all.
She protected Tan Zhaozhao. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the angrier she became.
She laughed in anger, clenched her fists and nodded heavily, saying, "Yes! I said these words correctly! But did I say that star is a person?! It's just a cat, a cat, do you understand? Who said that a woman can't be a cat's mother? Your child is gone, and you want to destroy another family? How can you be so vicious? Your child is a treasure, and other people's children are just grass picked up from the mud? Don't be ridiculous! ”
She was so angry that she almost burst into curse.
If Su Mingyue and the others were not around, Li Shan would not only curse, but would also take action!
This was really the first time she met such an unreasonable person!
Even when she knew that the other woman's child had died of illness, she didn't feel that she was miserable and pitiful at all when she saw the woman's dishevelled appearance.
However, all the impulses that reached her throat and fists were suppressed by Tan Zhaozhao who pulled her sleeves.
Li Shan was so angry that her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart ached when she thought about how Tan Zhaozhao almost got into an accident because of her quick words outside.
I always felt that the existence of stars would bring danger to Tan Zhaozhao.
But now I realize that I was the first person to be in danger.
Li Shan was extremely angry, but when Tan Zhaozhao grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, she retracted all the spikes on her body, hid behind Tan Zhaozhao with red eyes, leaned her back against the cold and damp wall, and raised her hand to wipe her eyes fiercely.
"You must be very touched, right?"
Tan Zhaozhao half squatted down and said to the woman who raised her head stubbornly, "You lost your child and became the most pitiful mother. You went crazy for your child and took revenge on another family. In your eyes, this must be particularly worthy of forgiveness or even praise, right?"
"Even if your revenge fails, you are just a mother who is devastated by the loss of her child. What can you do wrong?"
Tan Zhaozhao continued slowly as the woman's eyes flickered, "Of course you are not wrong, because anyone who hears this news will only sigh at the strength of a mother and the greatness of a mother's love, and then push all the blame on the authorities who failed to rescue in time, and on this damn end of the world."
After saying this, the woman's expression kept changing, and Liu Yi, Su Mingyue and others also changed their expressions.
Because what Tan Zhaozhao said was so right.
Because before Tan Zhaozhao said this, although they had restrained the woman, after listening to her crying, they also felt pity for her.
She even automatically found the best excuse for her behavior in her heart as Tan Zhaozhao said.
They blamed themselves and their teammates for not rescuing the child in time and not noticing the child's condition and rescuing him immediately.
They blamed the sudden end of the world for breaking up all the harmonious and happy families.
Therefore, every word Tan Zhaozhao uttered was like a slap in the face, awakening them from their temporary guilt.
"You must be very touched, aren't you?"
Tan Zhaozhao didn't care about their emotions and psychological changes at the moment. She just stared at the woman's evasive eyes and gently exposed her: "So you won't blame yourself for being careless and not taking good care of the child, nor will you blame your husband and family for not paying attention to the child, and you won't blame you as a mother for not only failing to protect your own child, but also trying to hurt other children, right?"
"You're right." Tan Zhaozhao changed the subject and said to the woman, "If I opened the door for you, you would easily destroy a family, because to me, my children, my stars, are far more important than your children."
A light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she struggled to beg in a hoarse voice: "You are also a mother, you also..."
"I don't understand."
Tan Zhaozhao interrupted her plea indifferently.
In the woman's resentful gaze, Tan Zhaozhao said to her: "It is precisely because I am also a mother that I cannot understand and will never forgive your behavior."
After saying that, she stood up, and while Su Mingyue tried to dodge, she reached out and pulled out the syringe from her hand, and then, as they tried to stop her, she calmly injected it into the woman's shoulder.
Even though the woman cursed and struggled violently, and even though the syringe was bent in the process, Tan Zhaozhao showed no mercy.
Until the syringe is empty.
She threw away the syringe and said to the woman, "You keep saying that it's for the child, so keep your child's belongings and don't give them to others casually."
"We should all love our own stars in our own way, and no one should try to hinder anyone else."
Li Shan understood what Tan Zhaozhao said. While the woman was dodging in jealousy and fear, and while Su Mingyue and Chen Yi were trying to stop Tan Zhaozhao, Li Shan stepped on the woman's ankle with a cold face and broke it.
"...If you guys continue like this, how are we going to explain this to Captain Tang when he comes back?" Chen Yi was shocked by the tacit understanding between the two, but she was helpless. She felt that Tan Zhaozhao was the most difficult one among the seven.
The woman's unbearable cries of pain were drowned out by the heavy rain and thunder outside the window.
Tan Zhaozhao opened the door and held the kitten that ran towards him in his arms. His soft eyes and face showed a warm smile. He lowered his head and kissed the kitten's furry head. Hearing this, he only replied in a warm voice, "Just tell the truth. Whether your captain wants to kick me out of the team or not, I will gladly accept it."
Chen Yi and the other two: "..."
Very good, when the captain didn’t know about this, Tan Zhaozhao had already drawn a line by using “your captain”.
She has a very clear sense of boundaries!!
And her personality is too sharp and it is difficult for her to integrate into the group.
He seems so gentle and easy to get along with...
"Meow~" Xingxing raised his paws and hugged his mother's chin. With her eyes full of anticipation, he moved closer and rubbed his head against her affectionately.
Mom~
A mother who protects the stars.
"Meow~" Xingxing turned over in her mother's palm, with her four little pink paws facing the sky, revealing her soft and cuddly little belly to her mother.
The stars will love their mother.
I will love my mother very much.
The kitten feels happy.
So the kitten hugged its little tail and stuck to its mother's arms. After being rubbed, kissed and pinched by its mother, it even learned to use its paws to step on its mother's shoulders and neck happily and diligently.
The little tail is raised high, and every hair on the kitten's body is trying hard to make two cute and beautiful plum-shaped paw pads on the mother's warm skin, which will be used as the mark of a good mother carefully selected by Star!
