Chapter 105 Qian Zhaodi
"You are such a brave guy." Zhang Jin, a tall and thin man with single eyelids, couldn't help but mutter beside him.
Jiang Rong smiled.
"Do you need me to pay for what you want?"
"May I?"
"Okay, go on."
After Jiang Rong agreed, he handed the agreed reward to the people beside him. As for how to divide it, that was their business.
Since five bottles of milk, four cans and a bag of milk powder were missing at once, Jiang Rong felt a lot more relaxed after putting his backpack back on.
What was left in her backpack was food for her for the next three days.
Then, under the gaze of hundreds of people around, Jiang Rong followed Li Jianye and the other four to where they lived.
A milk tea shop.
It was a milk tea shop before the end of the world.
Compared to other stores around it, this store is much smaller and is divided into two spaces, front and back.
Jiang Rong observed calmly and came to the conclusion that, although small, the sparrow has all the organs.
"Jiang Li, you and Little Stutter will live in here for the next three days," Zhang Jin made the arrangements.
Jiang Rong nodded slightly.
"Brother Li stays outside at night. Xiaoxiao, Zhaodi and I all have our own places to stay." Zhang Jin added, then walked out.
Here, the partition in the middle of the house blocks out any prying eyes from outside.
Jiang Rong seemed calm, but in fact his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
She took a few glances at the furnishings in the room. There were milk tea making machines placed against three walls, with only an empty space in the middle.
The open space is paved with white tiles. It doesn't look dirty, so someone must clean it regularly.
It might be the professional habit of the doctor outside, or he might have mysophobia, Jiang Rong guessed.
Half of the open space was filled with four one-cubic-meter boxes, and no one knew what was inside.
Then there was Xiao'er's bed. Her bed was against the only empty wall in the room. It was a wooden single bed with a pink and blue bed sheet. At the head of the bed was a long blue and white pillow and a neatly folded floral sheet.
There is also a small mahogany cabinet next to the bed, which contains some personal belongings.
Looks simple yet neat.
"Jiang Li, do you want to squeeze in with me?" Xiao Er said slowly. The slower he spoke, the less likely he would stutter.
Jiang Rong shook his head, his expression softened: "No, thank you."
Then, she found an open space, put down her backpack, took out the black cloth from the backpack, spread it on the ground again, and then sat on it.
"I'll take a break." She said to Xiao Er, then leaned against the iron wall of the machine behind her and closed her eyes.
Because the room has two layers, with not only the original partition but also a door in the middle, once the small door is closed, the noisy sound outside becomes much smaller and the light suddenly becomes dim.
This environment is very suitable for sleeping.
Jiang Rong originally planned to take a nap, but he actually fell asleep with his eyes closed.
*
When I woke up, there was a lot of noise outside and I had no idea what was going on.
The room was dark.
Jiang Rong turned on the flashlight and stood up from the ground. The flashlight first shone on Xiao'er's bed. The patterned sheets were messy, but there was no one on the bed.
Then Jiang Rong opened the tightly closed door and walked out, but Li Jianye was not there either.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the light from flashlights of various sizes kept flashing and moving outside.
The room was bright at times and dark at times.
Jiang Rong pushed open the door and walked out.
At this time, the sky outside had already darkened, and the mall was also pitch black.
But the aisles on both sides were full of people, all gathered at the door of a snack shop not far from the milk tea shop.
"Zhao Di, what happened to your brother? What happened to your brother? Please think of a solution, please think of a solution!"
"Mom, I have no choice."
"Then ask your friends for help. Don't you have a lot of powerful friends? They must have a way. Go ahead, mom, please, mom, please, you can't just watch your brother become like that."
"My poor son, please don't turn into... that kind of monster."
"Yes, Zhaodi, please ask your friends for help. They are all very powerful and have special abilities. There must be someone who can find a way. Dad... Uncle, please, please."
Jiang Rong found a corner of the crowd and squeezed in. Now everyone's attention was on the family of four in the snack shop, and no one noticed her.
The snack shop was quite large and much more spacious than the milk tea shop where Xiao'er and his friends lived. A pile of tall snack racks were stacked in the corner. Several families lived in it, and each family's things occupied a corner.
Jiang Rong saw Zhang Jin and Qian Zhaodi in the daytime.
Outside the snack shop, Jiang Rong also saw Xiao Er, Chu Xiaoxiao and Li Jianye.
Several people did not go in, but their faces did not look good.
Qian Zhaodi was the girl who stood behind her during the day. She was tall but very thin, with dark skin, thick and pale lips, bangs that were slightly long covering her eyebrows, short hair that reached her ears, and she was taciturn.
Jiang Rong didn't hear her say a word during the day.
She lowered her head deeply at this moment, not daring to look at her mother and stepfather.
"Zhao Di, how can you be so cruel! Do you really want to watch your brother turn into a monster? Mom is begging you on her knees, please ask your friends for help. Your brother, your brother is still so young, he can't die, he can't die!"
"mom."
"I'm sorry, no one can help him." Qian Zhaodi lowered her head even deeper as her mother knelt down.
Qian's mother, Zhang Huifang, had no intention of really kneeling down to her daughter. Seeing that Qian Zhaodi was still unwilling to go find someone for help, her eyes were filled with sadness, worry, disappointment, and anger!
"Zhao Zhaodi, please don't curse my son!"
"Look at your lovely daughter. Her brother is dying, but she refuses to ask for help. What a heartless person! What's the point of you begging her? She just wants our son to die soon so she can be free and have one less burden."
Qian Zhaodi's stepfather Qian Runjun's eyes were red, and he angrily poked Qian Zhaodi's forehead with his hand, poking her hard twice while speaking.
He looked like he was still not satisfied, and he raised his right hand violently and slapped down against the wind.
"You can curse and talk all you want, but why are you hitting Zhaodi!" Zhang Huifang was quick to block the slap for Qian Zhaodi, and Qian Runjun's slap did not end up landing on Qian Zhaodi's face.
"She is so hard-hearted, and you still protect her?!" Qian Runjun shouted.
"Jinbao and Zhaodi, both of them are my children. I will protect both of them. Please go away quickly." Zhang Huifang winked at Qian Runjun and went away.
"Zhao Di, Mom is begging you, Mom is really kneeling down to beg you, no matter if it helps or not, please help your brother, no, please help Mom ask, go and beg your friends, okay? Maybe, just in case, just in case someone has a way. Your brother is the lifeblood of Mom and your Uncle Qian, he really can't die, he can't turn into a monster, Mom is really, really going crazy!" Zhang Huifang was really afraid that something would happen to her son. The more she spoke, the more worried she became. At the end, she burst into tears and even knelt down to her daughter.
Jiang Rong took the time to look at Jin Bao who was not far away. He looked to be about ten years old, lying on a straw mat with his eyes closed. Signs of large-scale festering were already beginning to appear on his face and body.
Looking at his appearance, Jiang Rong thought of Jiang Suan, whose whereabouts were unknown, Qi Hao, and Cai'er's two younger sisters, Niuniu and Nannan.
This time, they might have also fallen into a coma, and it is unknown what their situation is now.
When Jiang Rong thought of this, his expression turned a little ugly.
Qian Zhaodi in the store lowered her head deeply. She knew in her heart that no one in the entire mall could save her younger brother. She was aware of everyone's special abilities, so no matter what her biological mother and stepfather said to her or scolded her, she did not move.
But just now, her mother helped her block the slap from her stepfather, and the words she said made her heart soften again.
She looked at her mother who was kneeling in front of her and begging with tears in her eyes, and her lips moved slightly: "Mom, you, don't kneel, I'll go ask."
Qian Zhaodi didn't go to help Zhang Huifang. She crawled up from Qian Jinbao's straw mat and stood up by herself. Her head was still lowered, but raised a little higher than before.
She looked at Zhang Jin who was standing beside her, and Zhang Jin quickly shook his head. He was an ordinary person, how could he help? He wanted to help, but he really didn't have the ability.
Qian Zhaodi herself had no hope, so she turned around and walked to Li Jianye and the other two who were standing outside.
Before she could speak, Li Jianye took the initiative to say, "Sorry, Zhaodi."
Xiao Er: "I'm sorry, Zhao Di, my special powers can't help Jin Bao."
Chu Xiaoxiao also shook her head. She was just an ordinary person. Although she wanted to help, she was unable to do so.
Qian Zhaodi nodded, said nothing, and quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
She didn't even glance at the people who were pointing fingers at her.
"Jiang Li, are you awake? Sorry, something happened at Zhaodi's house just now, and Brother Li and I were worried, so we ran out." Xiao'er was standing opposite and saw Jiang Rong, then trotted over.
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Rong immediately received many ambiguous looks.
Li Jianye and Chu Xiaoxiao followed over when they saw him. Zhang Jin in the store also ran over immediately when he saw the little stutterer.
Jiang Rong listened to her patiently and shook his head: "It's okay, but next time you have this kind of situation, you can wake me up."
Otherwise it's still quite dangerous.
Xiao Er: "Okay, okay, sorry."
The people who were outside the store gathering to watch the fun had not left. Some of them had children in a coma and were now watching outside, hoping that Qian Zhaodi could really find a solution.
In this way, if their children encounter this situation, they will be saved!
A few minutes later, Qian Zhaodi ran back from somewhere, still with her head down, and Jiang Rong still couldn't see her eyebrows.
"Zhao Di, what happened? Who did you ask? My brother? Or Qin Shuang, Luo Xing, Zhong Jian? Is there any solution?" Chu Xiaoxiao asked softly.
"I've asked everyone, but there's no solution." Qian Zhaodi shook her head.
Her eyes were always downcast, and she seldom met other people's gazes.
Qian Zhaodi was not discouraged because she already knew the result. She just waited until she went in and her mother knew the result and might collapse.
Qian Zhaodi's current family is a reconstituted family. She lost her father when she was young, and her mother remarried with her. Her original surname was Zhao, and her name was Zhao Xibao, and later she was called Qian Xibao. But because her mother was pregnant for many years after her second marriage, her stepfather took her to the public security bureau to change her name.
Qian Zhaodi.
A year later, the mother really became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
His name is Qian Jinbao.
After that, her treatment at home plummeted.
Fortunately, although her stepfather favors her younger brother and her mother also favors her younger brother, most of the time, her mother would not be too harsh on her, and would occasionally defend her when her stepfather wanted to take it out on her.
Life isn't too hard.
She doesn't like this younger brother.
Qian Jinbao was very cute when he was little. He would call her sister in a sweet voice. She also liked to hug him, coax him and take care of him.
But later on, I don’t know if everyone will become bad when they grow up.
He began to learn to read the expressions of his stepfather, to see if his stepfather was happy, and if his mother would support him. As time went by, he learned to take advantage of the power of his stepfather, to bully others, and to deliberately lie to cause her to be reprimanded and punished by her mother and stepfather.
Over time, Qian Zhaodi also learned to keep her distance from this younger brother.
If it weren't for her mother, she wouldn't ask anyone for help.
Qian Zhaodi lowered her head with a numb expression, thinking.
Afterwards, her eyes involuntarily fell on a pair of clean but somewhat bleached canvas shoes.
