Chapter 93 Knowing the Truth
Qin Muxue seemed to have sensed the seriousness of the matter. Manman's expression was so serious that something serious must have happened.
"The shelter may be in a major crisis. They only have a hundred places for leaving. We should have been abandoned. Without a place, they won't take us away from here. We are the abandoned pawns." Manman deduced the truth of the matter from what the assistant had just said.
"One hundred places?" Qin Muxue did not doubt the authenticity of this matter, because she had heard the same words from Qian Xinran before, "Then it will definitely not be our turn." As far as she knew, there were more than a hundred staff members here, so how could it be the turn of them, the newcomers.
"Xiaoxue, something urgent must have happened here, otherwise why would everyone here choose to leave?"
Indeed, nothing happened so quickly in the previous life. At least the shelter existed before the extreme heat came.
But now the weather outside is even more severe than the extreme cold encountered in the previous life. No one knows how the situation will develop in the future. Moreover, there is a strange planet hanging in the sky outside. Even ordinary people can see that something is wrong. Unfortunately, the people in the shelter can't see the situation outside at all. They are still working diligently for food.
"A major disaster will definitely happen here in seven days. Since they won't take us away, we have to find a way ourselves." There is also a plane in Qin Muxue's space. There is absolutely no problem for them to leave here. What they lack now is a take-off route. Since they will also leave by plane, there must be a take-off route. When the time comes, they can just use the plane route here to leave here.
After all, a helicopter is only a short-distance means of transportation and cannot be driven to farther places. Besides, she has enough gasoline. If things really don't work, she can "borrow" gasoline from the shelter.
What needs to be found out now is what exactly the disaster was that they predicted in advance.
Manman was still worried, so Qin Muxue comforted her, "Don't worry, Manman."
"We have finally gathered together. We have experienced so many disasters and endured so much. If everyone died, I would be really sad. Xiaoxue, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of not being able to be with you all." If a person has someone he cares about in the world, he will become weak.
Qin Muxue patted Manman's shoulder and said, "I know what you mean. I feel the same way."
If everyone died, what would be the point of her living again? So she would definitely lead everyone to avoid this disaster.
"But, Manman, how did you know about this?" Did she go to find Lei Yangzhou again?
Manman blinked her eyes. "Actually, I saw some things in space yesterday..." Manman described the details of the reflection she saw on the lake. "Maybe it happened in a parallel time and space. Lei Yangzhou often dreams of these things. Some things are just incredible." She shook her head. She didn't figure out why she saw these things, but after explaining these things to Lei Yangzhou, she obviously felt much more refreshed.
"Can you see these things in your reflection in the space?" The things that Manman saw were indeed what happened in the previous life. She was right. For them, this was what happened in a parallel world.
"Well, but this ring can create space, so it's not surprising to see these things." After Xiaoxue told her what would happen in the future, she felt that the things she encountered later were no longer surprising.
For the first time, Qin Muxue began to think, is there an infinite number of parallel worlds like this? In some parts of her, she has not awakened, and in some parts of her, she has awakened. Each of them will have a different fate...
She couldn't pursue all this anymore. The most important thing now was the present. "Don't think about it now. It would be best if you could figure it out."
The two were attracted by the aroma. It turned out that the mutton spine hotpot made by Grandma Qu was ready. Because there were many children, Grandma Qu used a big pot and then divided it into several hotpots, one pot for the children and one pot for the adults.
Although Qian Xinran felt a little better, she still couldn't eat because she thought about her child. However, good news soon came: Shi Yan came back.
Qian Xinran didn't expect that he was so efficient. He found Qian Yan in just the time it took to cook. Suddenly, a little head popped out from Shi Yan's clothes. She hugged Qian Yan excitedly, "Yan Yan, my Yan Yan is back. Thank you, you saved my child!"
Qian Xinran was so excited that she was about to kowtow, but Shi Yan stopped her, "You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake."
Qian Yan's growth rate was faster than that of other children. In just half a year, he already looked like a two-year-old baby. Moreover, whenever he appeared, people surrounding him could feel a sense of warmth.
Qin Muxue looked at Qian Yan, "Yanyan, do you still remember me?" He chose his own name, but children's memory probably isn't that good.
Who knew that Qian Yan seemed to really know Qin Muxue and shouted at her, "Beautiful auntie, beautiful auntie!"
It was really incredible. He could already speak some complete sentences. Qin Muxue couldn't help but touch his little face. Until she saw the bruises on his arms, it seemed that Qian Yan really did suffer a lot.
"Let Manman check his body first to see if there is anything wrong with him." Qin Muxue suggested.
"Then thank you for your help." Qian Xinran looked at Manman eagerly, and Manman stepped forward and held Qian Yan's arm.
Qin Muxue pulled Shi Yan aside and said, "Shi Yan, has anyone discovered this?"
"No." After he entered, he had killed the two guards and hid the bodies. However, he noticed that now these people's minds were elsewhere and they would not notice anything unusual in a short time.
"Are you hurt?" Qin Muxue pulled his arm and checked it.
Shi Yan smiled gently, "No, Xiaoxue, don't worry."
But Qin Muxue noticed that there was blood on the hilt of the sword on his back. If it was not his blood, it must be someone else's blood.
After further examination, Manman found that there was nothing wrong with Qian Yan, he was just a little anemic. "He needs to eat more nutritious foods, fruits, offal, beef and other blood-enriching foods," Manman suggested.
Since she got this ring, she has more and more medical knowledge in her mind, and with her own special abilities, if the problem is not serious, she can take medicine to solve it. If it is more serious, she can use mental power to heal it. This can reduce the side effects to a minimum, otherwise she will be drowsy and sleepy all day long.
"Xinran, the child is fine. You can rest assured now!" Grandma Qu hugged Qian Yan with a loving look, "Our little Yanyan has suffered so much."
"Well, thank you. I have no way to repay you. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best to help you. Yanyan's life was saved by you." She was so excited that tears flowed again.
"Yanyan, why don't you acknowledge this uncle as your godfather! When you grow up, be filial to your godfather and thank him for saving your life."
The more Qin Muxue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. "This is not possible. I am Yanyan's godmother, and Shi Yan is her godfather..."
Qian Xinran also obviously felt that something was wrong. "Look at my memory. I was just talking nonsense. Muxue, please don't mind it." She apologized awkwardly.
"It's nothing. In fact, Shi Yan is suitable to be his godfather. Shi Yan knows a lot of things, right? Shi Yan, are you willing to be Yanyan's godfather?" Qin Muxue asked with a smile.
Shi Yan was a little at a loss for a moment, "As long as you don't mind."
"It doesn't matter."
No matter what, he brought Qian Yan back safely. Now Qin Muxue's attention was attracted by the aroma of the mutton spine hotpot.
"Grandma Qu, can we have dinner now?"
"Okay, how about you try my cooking?"
Qu Yanbai brought over the washed cabbage and vermicelli, "This lamb rib hotpot should be eaten with cabbage and vermicelli."
"Yes, Xinran, do you have an appetite now?" Grandma Qu asked with a smile.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and hugged Qian Yan tightly in her arms, "Hmm, it smells so good. I feel a little hungry. I remember we often ate hot pot like this when we were young."
The pot for the children was not spicy, but the pot for the adults was a bit spicy. Qin Muxue couldn't wait to pick up a piece of lamb ribs. It was still a little hot. She took a bite of the mutton. The mutton had been stewed until soft and she bit it off in one go. It had no mutton smell, but was very delicious. It should be because of the secret sauce. The slightly spicy taste was just what Manman could accept. The soup tasted amazing when paired with white rice.
The children were enjoying the meal very much. Grandma Qu even stewed some mutton specially so that the children who couldn't eat strong flavors could also eat it. Qian Xinran was feeding Qian Yan mutton soup. If it weren't for the bruises on his body, the child would not look like he was abused at all.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. In order not to cause panic, Qin Muxue did not tell anyone about the shelter.
Instead, after Shi Yan cleaned up the dishes, he pulled Qin Muxue aside and said, "Xiaoxue, this place is not suitable for staying for long. We have to leave."
It seems that Shi Yan also discovered something wrong here, "I have the same idea."
But before leaving, she still had some things to do.
…
Lei Yangzhou came to Xia Bing's residence in a state of dismay and asked sternly, "Did you go to see Manman today?"
Xia Bing's smiling face collapsed in an instant, "I just told her that I wanted to get along well with her in the future. Did she complain to you and say something bad about me?" She spoke ill of Manman as usual, pretending to be an innocent white lotus.
"She doesn't need to say bad things about you. You really did some things wrong." Lei Yangzhou had a blank expression on his face, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
"Yangzhou, what are you talking about? I'm so weak that I can't do anything excessive. Besides, why would I hurt her? Are you so sure that she is an upright and kind person?"
"Just because I didn't say something doesn't mean I don't know it. Don't you know what you did? Did you instigate the matter about An Qi behind the scenes?" After calming down, he thought about many things. When he thought about it carefully, there were indeed some things he had not investigated, but the blame was directed at Xia Bing.
An Qi and Xia Bing have always had a good relationship and he often said good things about Xia Bing. How could he suddenly want to hurt Xia Bing? Moreover, An Qi had worked with him for a while and knew her more or less.
Xia Bing burst into tears, "Yangzhou, you are so scary, cough cough cough, don't scare me, I really didn't do that, why would I hurt her for no reason, An Qi and I have such a good relationship, if she didn't have other intentions..." She looked so weak, and coughed while explaining, "Yangzhou, do you really want me to die?"
Why did Ding Manman hold such a high position in Lei Yangzhou's heart? Even though she had used so many tricks, as long as Ding Manman said a word, Yangzhou would come to question her. She was really unwilling to accept this, but when she thought that she was about to leave here and Ding Manman would be left here to fend for herself, she tried to calm herself down. As long as she endured it for a while longer, she would never see that woman again.
"Okay, let's not pursue that matter for now. I have something else I want to ask you." Lei Yangzhou's face became increasingly gloomy.
Xia Bing had a bad feeling. Could it be that Lei Yangzhou discovered something? That was impossible. She had tested him many times, but he didn't see the face of the person who saved him at that time and always thought it was her.
"Yangzhou, what else do you want to ask?"
"Are you the one who saved me?" Looking directly into her eyes, he tried hard to find an answer.
The scenes before Manman's death kept playing in his mind. He could choose not to pursue the things Xia Bing did in the dream, after all, it was just a dream, but he had to get to the bottom of the matter of saving him.
"Of course it was me, Yangzhou. What are you doubting about? Wasn't I the only one by your side at that time?" Xia Bing still wanted to evade the question.
"Then let me ask you, do you remember when this happened?"
"It happened more than ten years ago. I don't remember it anymore. Besides, the situation was urgent at the time and I didn't pay attention to the time... Yangzhou, are you doubting me now?" Xia Bing bit her lip and tears flowed unconsciously. "I have suffered so much for you, and you actually doubt me?"
Lei Yangzhou had to doubt all this, because he knew that Manman no longer had any demands on him, so she would not lie to him. He had to find out who saved him at that time.
But Xia Bing refused to admit it. Now that she thought about it, Xia Bing was not a very good swimmer when she was a child, so how could she have saved him? It was only because she was by her side that she mistakenly thought she had saved her, so Xia Bing went with the flow and admitted it.
Xia Bing was panicking, but she was sure that since it happened more than ten years ago and there was no surveillance, he would not be able to find out that she was lying. Besides, there was chaos at that time. After Lei Yangzhou was rescued, the girl left immediately. He didn't even see what she looked like, so how could he remember her? She had to stay calm and not be scared by him.
"I have believed you many times, and, Xia Bing, I have always been good to you. When you lied to me as a child, I could regard it as the innocence of a child, but you are still lying to me now. Is it just to stay by my side?" Lei Yangzhou stretched out his hand and stared at her fair neck. For a moment, he actually had a desire to strangle her to death. Fortunately, he withdrew his hand in time.
For the first time, Xia Bing felt the horror of Lei Yangzhou. This man was always gentle, kind and considerate in front of her, but just now he almost strangled her to death. She retreated to the corner with lingering fear, "Yangzhou, do you really want to kill me? We had so many wonderful days together, and we almost got together before, but because of the swimming pool incident, you..."
"Xia Bing, the basis of all my kindness to you, my good feelings towards you, and my tolerance of you are all because I owe you. If your physical condition is not caused by me, then there will be no reason for me to be nice to you." Lei Yangzhou explained expressionlessly.
He pinched her chin and said, "If you won't tell me the truth, then I'll come and see for myself!"
One of Lei Yangzhou's special abilities is to detect the memory of the human brain, but this would cause both him and the other party a splitting headache. However, for the truth of the matter, he no longer cared about that.
"No, no, Yangzhou, what do you want to do?" Xia Bing felt a sharp pain in her head, as if something had drilled into it.
Lei Yangzhou entered her memory, searching for long-forgotten memories, until he saw his childhood self standing next to the swimming pool.
He was a little afraid to go into the water, but Xia Bing's swimming ring was in the deep water. "Yangzhou, can you help me get the swimming ring back? I'm a little scared." She still looked weak and begged Yangzhou.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get it for you!" He slowly walked into the deep water. He was getting closer and closer to the swimming ring, but his feet slipped and his legs began to cramp. He was completely submerged in the water. "Help! Help me!"
This was Xia Bing's perspective. She watched Lei Yangzhou fall into the water from afar. She was so frightened that she couldn't even take a step. Suddenly, a little girl jumped down from next to her and swam towards Lei Yangzhou's position.
The little girl looked even thinner than Xia Bing, but she grabbed Lei Yangzhou forcefully. He only had the instinct to survive at the time, and he almost pulled the little girl down.
After dragging him up, the little girl breathlessly performed some first aid for him. Seeing Xia Bing standing there motionless, she shouted fiercely, "Where are your adults? Find them quickly!"
Xia Bing reacted instantly and went to find an adult. When she came back, the little girl was gone.
Xia Bing stood beside Lei Yangzhou, watching him dying, and suddenly jumped into the water, soaking herself, then squatted beside him until Lei Yangzhou woke up. Her pale lips trembled, "Yangzhou, you finally woke up, you scared me to death."
This is Xia Bing's memory of the swimming pool. The person who saved him was indeed not Xia Bing. Moreover, through Xia Bing's memory, he saw the appearance of the little girl, who was indeed somewhat similar to Manman.
For a moment, he felt mixed emotions. It seemed that Manman had not lied to him, and he was just deceiving himself. He had been deceived by Xia Bing for so many years, and in the end, it was someone else who told him the truth. He had a high IQ, but he really couldn't understand people's hearts.
Manman is right, it is really pathetic for him to live in a lie.
Invading other people's memories will also cause side effects for him. He will have a headache and feel very uncomfortable, but it cannot overcome the pain in his heart.
"Xia Bing, you have been deceiving me all the time." Not only that, from her memory, she discovered that she had lied to him for more than just that.
She said she went abroad for medical treatment, but in fact she had found another boyfriend. This was understandable, but she lied to him that she was receiving treatment abroad for health reasons. In fact, she was having a romantic time with her foreign lover. There are some messy memories...
Later, her father went bankrupt and was abandoned by his foreign lover, so she came back miserably. Seeing that Lei Yangzhou's IQ had returned to normal, she pretended to return to him.
Xia Bing has always said that she loves him, but Lei Yangzhou can't tell now. This woman should love him more. Everything she does to him is fake, even her love.
Xia Bing felt a severe pain in her head that lasted for a long time. "Yangzhou, you did something to me. It hurts. It really hurts."
"I really like you and want to stay by your side. Do you dislike my body being too weak?"
"I think your body should be in good condition. After all, you can accept sleeping with two men." After seeing those disgusting memories, Lei Yangzhou now looks at Xia Bing with only disgust.
People are selfish, and everyone knows this. She can be selfish, but she used this selfishness to harm Manman and him.
Now there was only regret in his heart. He wanted to rush to Manman and say to her, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. My choice was wrong from the beginning!" But things that were missed were missed after all, and he had no way to get her back.
She no longer has herself in her heart, and her love already belongs to another person.
"Yangzhou, no matter what you saw, it's not true!" Xia Bing tried to explain to him, "I didn't do anything wrong. Even if I pretended to be your savior, I never did anything to harm you from beginning to end..."
"What I hate most is others deceiving me. Is your weakness also an act?"
"Yangzhou..." Xia Bing cried. She didn't know how Lei Yangzhou saw everything in her memory. She admitted that she had been absurd for a while, but it was only because she was deceived by her lover at that time. She really liked Lei Yangzhou.
"It's best for you to stay here." He smiled and said the cruelest words. "You will live and die with this shelter!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving Xia Bing behind him, calling his name...
