The aroma of rice filled the air, and the scene instantly fell silent.
There really is porridge...
Everyone stared intently at the pot of porridge in front of Li Zai. "There really is porridge."
Someone shouted, and the crowd surged forward. Their physical craving for food had overcome everything, including their fear of Li Zai...
Li Zai sneered and instantly slammed the lid on the pot. "One crystal core per bowl."
His aura was intimidating.
"If I find the crystal core, will you give me a bowl?" the old man asked nervously.
"Yes." Li Zai pointed to the dead zombies on the ground and said calmly, "As long as you dare to dig!"
The old man held his grandson's little hand and said firmly, "I'll dig."
As long as there is food, his beloved grandson can survive.
"That old man is truly heartless. He's dead, and he still can't let people live in peace."
"Exactly, how can there be such a person?"
As the crowd whispered among themselves, the old man's back bent lower and lower. He didn't want to, but the world didn't give people a way to live.
What can he do?
If there is any retribution, let it all fall on him alone.
As long as his beloved grandson can live...
Su Qian pulled a dagger from beside her feet and threw it at the old man, saying, "If your wound comes into contact with zombie blood, you will also become a zombie."
The old man, his back hunched, struggled to pick up the dagger and walked to the side of a zombie's head.
He sat on the ground and carefully cut it open...
“Miss…” Li Zai looked at Su Qian with a pang of pity, “How about… we give him a bowl of porridge?”
Su Qian stopped eating durian and looked at Li Zai, "You feel sorry for him?"
Li Zai nodded, "It's really not easy for an old man like him."
"Hmm." Su Qian nodded thoughtfully. As the saying goes, "An elder in the family is a treasure," and such an elder is indeed precious. "If he is willing, he can work in the village with ten crystal cores."
Li Zai looked up in surprise, "The young lady is the kindest."
Seeing Li Zai's reaction, Li Xi praised her, saying, "You're the best, Miss."
Jingjing: "..." No wonder the host kept the father and son here...
Hmph, isn't it just flattery?
Who can't do that?
The old man walked up to Li Zai with a crystal core the size of a mung bean, his hands trembling as he asked, "Is this it?"
His hands, like the bark of an old tree, were covered in blood.
Li Zai frowned slightly. "Move it away a bit."
If it falls into the porridge, the whole pot of porridge probably won't be edible.
"Yes, yes." The old man took two steps back, but did not retract his hand.
Seeing the old man's humble appearance, Su Qian felt a tightness in her chest. "This is it, give it to me." Turning to Li Zai, she instructed, "Give each of them a bowl of porridge."
Li Ziying quickly scooped two bowls of porridge for the grandmother and grandson.
The old man took the porridge and thanked him profusely once again.
Jingjing couldn't help but communicate with Su Qian through her consciousness, "Host, why don't you just give them the things directly?"
These people are just too pitiful.
Su Qian frowned. "Give it to them directly? Why should we?"
She doesn't owe them anything.
Everything she has now is what she deserves.
Why should someone who is wealthy give away money for no reason?
After a long silence, she finally said, "But that crystal core is useless..."
"I know, I just don't want anyone to be a freeloader."
Su Qian didn't use her consciousness to reply to Jingjing's last sentence, but everyone present heard it.
Li Zai turned to look at her in surprise, “Miss…” So the girl’s thoughts were so profound; he was indeed ignorant.
