Shi Man raised her eyes and looked at him coldly: "So, you want to stay?"
The woman choked and said awkwardly, "No, it's just that the world is in chaos right now. You know this house is worth a lot of money. You only gave us half a month's worth of food and water. Isn't that a bit..."
Hearing this, Meng Xiaodao and the others laughed.
Qi Hao: "Auntie, do you know how many lives you can buy with water for half a month outside?"
"That's right!" Meng Xiaodao sneered. "If you ask me, my sister Manman is too soft-hearted. She should have waited a few more days until Li Ran killed you all."
"Why wait until now? We'll have to pay for half a month's worth of food. Sister, we don't absolutely need this house. We can just wait a few more months. When they starve to death, we'll come and collect their bodies."
As soon as these words were spoken, the couple's faces changed.
The man who had been hiding in the back without saying a word immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiao Man, don't argue with your aunt. It's just half a month's worth of food and water, and we're leaving now. But, is this food and water charged per person?"
Shi Man hummed, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
The only ones left were the brother and sister.
The elder sister Li Nannan is eight years old and the younger brother Li Beibei is six years old. The two children are quite straightforward.
"Sister Manman, we...we want to stay."
Li Nannan mustered up her courage and said, "My brother and I can wash dishes, cook, and clean. I can sew socks. I, I...we don't eat much, so we can work."
"Okay." Shi Man didn't say much. She had some impression of the brother and sister. They were quite sensible. It seemed that their father was a soldier, but he died while on a mission. The brother and sister lived with their mother.
As for their mother...she's quite unreasonable. She's often not at home and doesn't take care of her two children much.
But Shi Man was quite curious: "I remember you live in 1790, right? Li Ran and his friends must have broken into your house before. How did you two escape?"
You should know that Li Ran’s group’s base is at 1791, right opposite the two little ones’ homes.
The two little ones' answers impressed several adults.
It turned out that when Li Ran and his group broke in, the two little ones hid on the third floor.
The third floor was 90% flooded, and the group of people didn't even go to search. The brother and sister dived into the water, swam to the room, then stuck their heads out with their noses facing the ceiling, just enough to breathe above the water without being discovered.
Such cleverness! Meng Xiaodao wants to call them Brother Xiao and Sister Xiao!
The next thing was simple. Meng Xiaodao, Qi Hao and Zhou Feifei sent Wang Yue and the middle-aged couple away, and Li Nannan and Li Beibei, brother and sister, joined the Pure Land.
When Meng Xiaodao and the others handed the compressed biscuits to Wang Yue and the others, they were overjoyed. Wang Yue even felt a little regretful. With so many compressed biscuits, it was obvious that Shi Man and the others should not be short of food.
Is the choice of leaving really the right one?
But it was too late to regret now. Before being sent away, Wang Yue looked at Jinzhi. She really wanted to tell Shi Man and the others that Jinzhi was in cahoots with Li Ran's group of beasts, but when she thought of the fate of Li Ran's group, Wang Yue hesitated again.
She hated Jinzhi, but her conscience prevented her from having the courage to expose her and she was afraid to take the blame for a life.
"Where's mine? Why is there no drinking water for me?" Jinzhi couldn't sit still anymore. Everyone else had drinking water, but she didn't!
Her heart was pounding and her face was pale.
Qi Hao glanced at her and said calmly, "Sister Manman said, don't leave."
Jinzhi's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief instantly. She guessed Jinzhi's fate. A complicated look flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing more. She carried the child and some water and got on the speedboat.
After the speedboat sailed out of the right street, there was a sudden bang from the street behind.
Wang Yue shuddered, then subconsciously turned around and asked, "What's that sound?"
Meng Xiaodao glanced at her and said, "You don't want to know."
…
In 1784, Shi Man put away her pistol. Without even glancing at Jin Zhi's body, she raised an eyebrow at Dr. Liu and Chu Han: "Next, it's time to inspect our new territory." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
