The little girl clearly didn't want to be alone there; she gently held her brother's hand, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
"Xiaoqin, your brother will be back soon. Please wait for me at home, okay?"
Seeing the affection between the two, something in Lu Yuan's heart was suddenly touched.
However, he didn't say much, but waited for the other party nearby, because he would have to go with the other party to find Miao Chengyun later.
Liu Mingming skillfully prepared the rice porridge, then glanced at the time and felt he couldn't delay any longer, so he gently patted his sister's shoulder.
"Xiaoqin, once the rice has all split open, you can eat it. After that, you need to put out all the fires and then put away the firewood, understand?"
The girl nodded slightly, her large, bright eyes still showing some reluctance.
Lu Yuan couldn't resist taking out a few homemade milk candies from his pocket.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go and come back quickly. Here's some food for you. Your brother will be back soon after you finish eating these candies."
When Liu Mingming and her sister saw the candies in Lu Yuan's hand, their eyes widened. They hadn't eaten candy in ages, and seeing them again made them lick their lips. Although Liu Mingming was already fifteen or sixteen years old, she was still growing.
The younger sister couldn't resist reaching out to take it, but Liu Mingming quickly reached out and pressed her hand down.
Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback and glanced at the other person.
A smile beyond his years appeared on the boy's face: "Big brother, we've only just met, you don't need to give me so much. We just need this rice."
Lu Yuan had no choice but to awkwardly withdraw his hand. The other party was clearly a person of principle. If he were to give them more charity, it might hurt the little guy's self-esteem and cause him to misunderstand. However, Lu Yuan always felt that Liu Mingming was a qualified man, even though he was not yet an adult.
This also shows that Liu Mingming is extremely cautious. However, it's not good that he brought me to this place. What if he really is a bad person? What will happen to his sister?
However, Lu Yuan didn't give any further reminders. He walked outside and waited for a few minutes. Soon, Liu Mingming settled his sister down, then crawled out of the shack and patted his worn-out suit.
"Brother, let's go. I'll take you to find someone."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything and followed behind the other person.
After passing through this dilapidated slum, we arrived at an abandoned community. Almost 90% of the houses here had collapsed, but many people were still rebuilding them.
However, these houses are not very sturdy and are very likely to collapse, but people don't pay much attention to it. Having a place to live is better than freezing to death outside.
They finally arrived at an abandoned hospital. Liu Mingming looked inside and then turned to Lu Yuan and said...
"Brother, wait here for me. I'll go in and ask and then come out."
Lu Yuan didn't speak, but nodded slightly. Watching the other person leave, he couldn't help but glance around. After being ravaged in recent years, the outer skin of the hospital building had completely peeled off.
Several nearby houses have collapsed into rubble, and many people are trying to build houses nearby to remove the rubble.
The buying and selling of bricks has become a local specialty. Many people wait nearby, and once someone approaches, they will first ask if the person is there to buy bricks, and then tell them their prices.
However, if you try to steal them, the hundreds of people guarding these bricks nearby will definitely swarm you; they are very united.
Lu Yuan stood not far away, feeling a bit bored. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one to kill time, and a few brick sellers nearby cast longing glances at him.
Soon, several people came over to chat with him, wanting to ask if Lu Yuan wanted to buy bricks. Lu Yuan smiled helplessly to himself.
"Sorry, I don't need to buy bricks."
However, the group still refused to leave, their eyes fixed on the cigarettes in Lu Yuan's hand, as if they wanted to pick up a cigarette butt. Feeling a little uneasy under their gaze, Lu Yuan finally threw the pack of cigarettes from his pocket to them.
"Here, have a smoke. Stop staring at this cigarette butt."
Like a bunch of monkeys who had just gotten a bunch of bananas, the group immediately swarmed around each other. They quickly divided the cigarettes into several portions. The first person picked up a lighter, gently lit a cigarette, and then took a deep drag with all his lung capacity. The person next to him immediately yanked the cigarette butt out of his hand.
"You fucking made a third of it for me in one go, are you even letting us smoke anymore?"
The first person to smoke had a satisfied expression on his face. He slowly inhaled the cigarette and sent it into his lungs, enjoying the process with an expression of blissful bliss.
Soon, the people around him looked on with envy, but they were just people who came to this black market to buy things, so it was basically impossible for them to smoke cigarettes. However, after seeing Lu Yuan, they felt a little itchy.
Lu Yuanxian was bored, so he waited nearby for a while. Suddenly, a scolding voice came from the building in the distance.
Then a gray shadow rolled down from the stairwell, and a man holding a wooden stick pointed menacingly at the fallen person.
