Chapter 58 This is a super old lady

"My walking stick..." The old lady looked down at the walking stick in her hand.

"There was a pretty good pillar in the old house where I lived when I was a child. Later, it was demolished. I couldn't bear to leave it, so I kept part of the pillar as a walking stick, and it can also be used as a reminder."

"You mean... I didn't die because of this walking stick?"

Chen Qingqing nodded: "Probably so."

The old house that the old lady mentioned was probably inhabited by many generations, just like Chen Qingqing's jade pendant. Hundreds of years of inheritance make them closely connected with the lifeblood of the inheritor.

After the outbreak of zombie viruses, the rampant insect plagues, and the mutation of animals, countless strange and bizarre things have happened, it has become increasingly difficult for humans to survive.

Some people are favored by destiny and have extraordinary abilities, allowing them to read people's hearts, turn transparent, etc.

Some people's collections of rare treasures struggle to grow flesh and blood to protect their heirs after sensing the hardships of their successors.

"This is so lucky!" Zhou Weiyue couldn't help but say.

She was very upset that her parents didn't leave her anything... Maybe she could also awaken this ability!

Chen Qingqing pursed her lips.

She was very grateful that the family could not live without this jade pendant.

But the old lady obviously didn't think so.

The old lady had been paralyzed for decades, and she had long accepted her fate.

The only thing she couldn't let go of was her husband who had served her for many years.

Just when she thought she could finally be free, Lao Ding passed away.

He died because of her.

No matter how powerful the ability that came to her that night was, it couldn't bring Old Ding back to life, so what use would it be to her? Moreover, in her opinion, it was her own luck that killed her husband.

"I... need to be quiet." The old lady stood up with the help of a cane, but the moment she realized that she was holding the cane, she suddenly let go as if she was burned.

Zhou Weiyue quickly stood up and supported her with her quick eyes and hands, so that she didn't fall.

"...No."

The old lady couldn't move without her cane, but she couldn't convince herself to take the cane when she saw Chen Qingqing picking it up and handing it to her.

"..."

Chen Qingqing probably understood her feelings now, and silently put down the cane and looked at Zhou Weiyue: "You help her up first."

Zhou Weiyue nodded, and carefully helped the old lady upstairs.

Lin Bo and Shang Li came back soon.

Shang Li looked around: "Where's the old lady?"

"She went upstairs."

Chen Qingqing briefly explained to the two that the old lady might have awakened her superpowers.

Shang Li was stunned: "She can awaken at such an old age!?"

Lin Bo laughed: "Xiao Huan can awaken superpowers at the age of six."

Shang Li waved his hands: "I'm not jealous! I think that although I don't have any superpowers now, I may not have them in the future."

"Since it's possible even at such an old age, I won't be in a hurry."

"What if I'm also a late bloomer?" Shang Li raised his eyebrows, and his confident expression instantly made the two laugh.

Shang Li listened attentively to the voice upstairs for a while: "Didn't the old lady cry when she said all this?"

Chen Qingqing shook her head.

She couldn't understand this more.

Not all sorrows can be expressed immediately.

She had also experienced the pain of losing a loved one in her previous life, and she had experienced it three times.

At first, she held her lost child and cried bitterly, and even thought about following the child.

Later, when she watched Lin Bo die, she couldn't cry anymore.

When collecting Lin Bo's body, she didn't shed a single tear, and buried Lin Bo with an expressionless face until she piled the last handful of soil on the grave.

Her friend witnessed the whole process, hugged her and said, "Cry, Qingqing, you will feel much better if you cry."

But she couldn't cry.

She thought she was really numb, and even in the following months, she completely adapted to the fact that Lin Bo was not around, and never thought about her husband once.

Until three months later, when she was on a mission outside under the scorching sun, she suddenly heard her husband's voice. She turned her head, but saw only empty air.

The next second, tears burst out.

Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, squeezing without leaving any space. Even a light breath was painful.

Only then did she realize that she had never forgotten it.

The human brain has a protection mechanism. When it realizes that you can't bear the pain, it will help you temporarily block the emotion.

Until one day, you think it is the most ordinary day, the shielding signal is interrupted, and the emotions pour out uncontrollably.

You finally understand that it's not that you're not sad. It's that you're

too sad.

Chen Qingqing was like this before, so she knows that the old lady is like this too.

Only three days later, the old lady killed Lao Ding with her own hands.

The old lady didn't cry or make a fuss, and she didn't look sad at all, but you don't know when she will suddenly collapse.

"I'll go and persuade her." Chen Qingqing stood up.

Shang Li hurriedly asked, "Should we recruit her into the team?"

If it was an ordinary old lady, Shang Li would never have such an idea.

But this is a super old lady!

The kind with super powers!

The benefits she brings to the team are definitely greater than the disadvantages!

"Let's talk about it later... If she is willing, I won't refuse."

Chen Qingqing said.

Ordinary old ladies need to be taken care of by others, but old ladies with super powers are very popular.

According to the plan, they will stay here for at least a month, so they need to build a good relationship with the old lady during at least this month.

Chen Qingqing went upstairs holding a cane.

The second floor had the same specifications as Chen Qingqing's house, with a corridor and two bedrooms.

Perhaps the two houses were originally built together.

But the difference was that the corridor on the second floor of Lao Ding's house was covered with banners and photos.

The largest banner read "Rescuing people at sea, Lei Feng is reborn!"

It seems that Lao Ding often helps others?

You can't tell from his usual stern face and ferocious appearance.

When he was a child, the children in the village were afraid of him and would hide from him.

Only Chen Qingqing would take the initiative to talk to him out of curiosity, but he often ignored people.

The remaining banners were similar, praising Lao Ding. Most of the photos were photos of Lao Ding and the rescued.

It seems that Lao Ding really did a lot of good things.

Although Old Ding in the photo still had a stern face, he looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly, Chen Qingqing saw a familiar face and was stunned.

This was...

herself.

Chen Qingqing's parents both had the habit of taking pictures. Chen Qingqing had many photos of herself every year from childhood to adulthood, so Chen Qingqing knew very well what she looked like when she was a child.

In the photo, her parents were holding her with smiles on their faces. And Old Ding stood in the middle, with his arms folded towards the camera, looking like he was keeping people away.

Looking at the date again...

it was when she was two years old.

Chen Qingqing immediately took two steps back and found the signature on the largest banner.

"...Chen Li, Jiang Wanyi."

It was her parents!
