Chapter 57 57 Meeting a Kind Old Lady on the Road
The next morning, the small team was awakened by the noise outside. From the sound, they were preparing to go out to look for supplies.
The small team did not plan to go out. They wanted to take a day off and familiarize themselves with the environment before taking any action.
So, I lazily stayed in bed without moving.
Little Lebao climbed out of the bed with a bunch of silly hair on his head, sticking out his little butt with a confused look on his face. His cheeks were flushed, which made the aunts bite him one by one.
"This is the first time for me to get up with our little Lebao. Oh, he's so adorable." He Lian pinched the little arms and legs that looked like lotus root nodes and couldn't let go.
Others also came over, pinching and poking, not even leaving out the little belly.
Little Lebao woke up from his sleepiness, but he was not in a bad mood and was just giggling.
Lan Shiruo was heartbroken. Her own son was being treated like a doll. "Just satisfy your desire to play with him. Don't bully our Lebao because he has a good temper."
"Stingy." The friends were all dissatisfied.
The general showed his claws and said, "What? Do you still want to bully my little master?"
Buddy
They don't argue with dogs.
Lan Shiruo shook her head and laughed, hugging the little guy. "You guys should get up soon, eat something, and look around. After all, we'll be staying here for a while, and we can't be in the dark."
Little Lebao is nestling in his mother's arms, with his little butt sticking up high. He is hungry after playing and wants to eat.
Lan Shiruo was afraid of patting her little bottom, and her diaper was about to burst, but the little thing could still hold it in. "Be good, mommy will change your diaper before you eat."
Little Lebao hummed twice, but didn't object.
The friends got up reluctantly, prepared some food that was not easy to smell, and waited until little Lebao had eaten and drunk enough and was dressed neatly before going out together.
Most of the people outside had already left. The rest were either tired from the day before and resting at home, or the elderly, weak, and sick. They were all bundled up tightly and huddled in their houses, not coming out. It was so cold and windy, and they didn't have good equipment, so they really didn't want to go out.
So, I didn't see many people along the way.
I have figured out the villa area. There are four rows of villas and three wide avenues. There are about fifty buildings in one row, and there are about two hundred buildings in four rows. There are no other branches. The straight avenue extends forward for two or three kilometers.
They are at the end of the third row from left to right, but not the very end. If divided by the average distance, they are within the end of the area, at the beginning of the end of the area.
However, they were staying at the very end of the villa. No one was staying in the villas behind them, not even in the four rows.
Due to human nature, the two middle rows are the most crowded. Each villa is very large. Some people have small families and will share houses with others until the entire villa is packed.
It’s okay to squeeze a little, the main thing is to make them feel safe.
Of course, a small team cannot understand this kind of mentality. The more people there are, the more gossip and thoughts there are, which makes it even less safe.
After walking down every street and getting a general understanding of the situation, I prepared to go home.
Just then, she met an old lady trembling out of the villa. Even with a thick cotton-padded jacket, she still couldn't keep out the cold, so she put on a quilt. When she saw Lan Shiruo, she quickly waved to her.
Lan Shiruo raised her eyebrows and walked over calmly. The other friends followed, and Jiang Xiang stayed by her side all the time, walking next to Lan Shiruo's legs.
The old lady was not afraid of the general at all. Instead, she touched its head with a loving look and smiled with her gap-toothed mouth, "That's a good boy." His hands were withered and his face was old, but his heart was very lively.
The generals and ministers were stunned by the touch, and looked at Lan Shiruo and asked, "Will you bite it?"
Lan Shiruo curled her lips slightly and shook her head.
Well, I have to listen to the old master and endure it.
The old lady didn't notice the flirting between the man and the mastiff, and went to see Xiao Lebao.
The little guy was tied to his mother's chest, wearing a space suit that covered him from head to toe. There was a transparent cover in the front, so he could see everything outside and was not blown by the cold wind. He was not covered with a black backpack. The little guy was very happy, fiddling with his little hands and feet, and grinning at everyone he saw.
The old lady was infected by his smile and also smiled without teeth. "The little guy is growing up really energetic. You have taken good care of him. Not bad."
Lan Shiruo had never met an elder who praised her so much before, and she didn't know how to respond. She could only say, "Thank you."
"What does the child eat now?"
"Breast milk."
"Breast milk is good, breast milk is good. The world is not doing well now, and these children are suffering. As a mother, you have to work harder and feed them for a longer time."
"I will."
"Good children, we are all good children. Come on, take it." The old lady fumbled out a one-liter box of pure milk from under the quilt. "Hurry up, don't let anyone see it."
Lan Shiruo was shocked. This thing was a good thing in the end times. How could she give it to her? "No need, Auntie. You can keep it for yourself. We have it."
The old lady's face darkened. "What you have is yours. Take it quickly. This is specially made for the baby. You can keep it and give it to him when he's old enough, or you can eat it yourself now. It will save nutrients so that your breast milk will be nutritious and the baby will be healthy. Be obedient and take it quickly. Once you take something out, you can't take it back, otherwise it won't keep. Put it away quickly and don't let anyone see it."
Lan Shiruo choked, not knowing how to react.
The friend behind me was also full of surprise. There was nothing he could do. Although not all the people he met in the past six months were bad people, he really hadn't met such a good person.
Seeing that Lan Shiruo was reluctant to take it, the old lady became anxious. If someone saw it, who knows how much trouble it would cause. So she simply stuffed it into her arms. "Hide it well, don't let anyone see it."
"Auntie, we really can't take this. Please keep it for yourself. We accept your kindness." Lan Shiruo pretended to hand it back.
The old lady was frightened. "What's the matter? Do you think I'm dirty? The milk is clean and untouched. Don't worry. Besides, I'm old and don't like to drink this. If you don't want it, just throw it away."
"I'm not disgusted. I don't want anything without merit. How can we take your things? Besides, you can give them to your family. We really can't take them."
"My son is the only one in my family. He's capable, but I've made him a burden, so he works himself to death all day. He brought this back specially for me. Don't tell me you shouldn't take it. I just want to do a good deed and pray for my son. I don't have many days left to live. It doesn't matter if these things are eaten or not. I'd be happy if I could give them to those who need them more. Please accept it, as it will be a token of my gratitude."
Lan Shiruo opened her mouth but didn't say no. "Lebao, thank you, grandma."
"Ahh," thank you grandma.
"Good boy, good boy, the baby is growing up so well, and you are all doing well too. Take good care of the children, they are our hope." The old lady was touched. She had witnessed with her own eyes a mother throwing her hungry child into a pile of corpses in order to save her own life. Such a good child, but he was gone just like that.
