Lin City Base, a slum, in a low shed, a woman with messy hair and dirty body is squatting on the ground, carefully cleaning the body of a mutant mouse. The mutant rat is more than thirty centimeters long, and although there is a lot of flesh on its body, the woman is reluctant to peel even the skin, and even the internal organs are reluctant to throw away. Even the thin intestines are cut and cleaned carefully.

The clean water used in the base is all provided by water-type abilities, and the price is expensive. People in the slums cannot afford it, so they can only buy water that has been used by others and then precipitated. This water has disinfectant added to it, so it always smells like a disinfectant. However, people living in slums do not dare to dislike it at all. Even such water is not available every day.

In order to save, everyone will reuse the used water. At first, it will feel dirty, and you will feel unaccustomed to it, but as time goes by, you will gradually get used to it. These people work hard every day to get up early and get in the dark, but they earn very few credit points. If they want to survive, they can only save desperately!

There was half a basin of dirty water in the small basin. After washing the cleaned mutant rat and its internal organs, the woman directly picked up a thin iron rod to wear the mutant rat, and roasted the hair on the fire. Then put it in the pot and cook with the guts. Gradually, an unpleasant smell came from the pot.

If this kind of taste were replaced by the pre-apocalypse, I am afraid that no one would eat it except the homeless on the street. However, people in the slums have long been used to it. As soon as the smell wafts out, some people can't help wrinkling their noses and inhaling. Then, looking greedily at the small shed, he kept swallowing.

This is what happens in the slums almost every day. Here the small sheds are close together, and the aisle in the middle is pitifully narrow. The originally clean aisle had long since become greasy and black, and various odors filled the air. It gradually merged into an indescribable strange smell that could make a normal person faint! In such a messy place, people outside are not willing to come in at all, and the people who live here because they have been exposed to such a smell for a long time, after getting used to it, they don't feel much.

The woman seemed to hear the sound of drooling outside, and her eyes looked out vigilantly through the large and small gaps in the shed. While watching, she greedily sniffed the smell coming from the pot. Pick up the spoon next to it and stir it in the pot. Seeing that the meat had turned white, it was obviously healed, so he quickly turned off the fire.

She doesn't take the bowl either. I directly scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it in my mouth. I didn't even care about being hot, and swallowed it directly into my stomach. At this time, a weak and urgent voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Quick... give it to me!" Seeing the woman didn't listen. He exclaimed again, "I caught it! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

The woman pretended not to hear. Use chopsticks to pick up the meat in the pot and stuff it into your mouth. Seeing this scene, the man immediately became more anxious, and couldn't help scolding: "Dead... dead woman! I was injured trying to catch this mutant mouse, how can you eat alone!"

woman heard here. He looked back at him impatiently. It was a thin old man lying in the corner of the shed surrounded by a dirty quilt. The quilt was covered with all kinds of stains, and his hands and feet exposed outside the quilt were covered with scars. He saw the woman turned his head. There was some hope in the cloudy eyes, and he stretched his arms and asked, "Give me something to eat. I'm going to starve to death."

The woman looked at him hesitantly, not knowing what to do when the door was suddenly knocked open, and a figure rushed in. This man was originally born tall, but at this time, his back was slightly hunched, his skin was sallow, and there were hideous scars on his face. After he rushed in, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the meat in the pot, he rushed up and pushed the woman away, grabbed her chopsticks, took the meat and stuffed it into his mouth frantically, like a reincarnation of a starving ghost!

The woman wanted to rush over to grab it, but was kicked in the stomach by him. After staggering a few steps, she happened to be sitting on top of the old man on the ground, making him scream mournfully and scolding incessantly, "You idiot can't be. good to die".

The man ate the meat, gave him and the woman a disdainful look, and retorted: "I'm a rebel? If I hadn't gone out to work every day to keep the two of you alive, you would have starved to death outside! You two old people didn't watch the eldest sister and let her run away, how could I fall into this kind of field? Bah! Two old things!" After speaking, he continued to eat meat, and soon the meat in the pot was gone. Only a small pile of bones remained.

The woman was kicked so badly by him that she didn't recover for a while, and she didn't dare to fight him. She could only watch him eat all the meat and sit on the ground crying sadly. The old man lying on the ground was very angry, but he was not in good health. He was seriously injured in order to catch the mutant mouse. How can he get up and teach this "unfilial son" now? Listening to his son's words, he also regretted it in his heart. If it hadn't been for Li Qingyun to let her run away, how could their family be reduced to such a level?

As he regretted it, he remembered the pile of supplies that Li Qingyun had bought. With so many supplies, he was really blind at the time, and even took in those "poor relatives" despite his daughter's dissuasion! These white-eyed wolves ate their supplies, not to mention, they also took their supplies to give gifts and exchanged errands for themselves. After Li Qingyun left, he directly occupied their supplies and houses, and drove them out!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think that if Li Qingyun hadn't left them and ran after others, how dare those unscrupulous people drive them out? It's a pity that there is no news of Li Qingyun after he left, no matter how resentful he is in his heart, it won't help. After thinking about Li Qingyun, he thought about the unfilial son in front of him, and he couldn't help but start to regret it. Why didn't he see that this was a beast in human skin? If he had been nice to Li Qingyun back then, wouldn't the girl have left them alone?

The man didn't bother to care about what he was thinking. After he finished eating the meat, he drank the soup in the pot. Then he sighed comfortably, and pointed to the small pile of bones he spat out and said, "Why are you crying? It's not here. What else? You'll cook another pot of soup later, and make do with it." After speaking, he ignored the man and woman in the corner, wiped his mouth, and walked out.

After he left, the woman cried even more and kept saying, "Qingyun, where are you? Why are you so cruel, you don't even care about your parents. Come back soon, come back ."

It's a pity that the Hope Base and the Linshi Base are separated by mountains and rivers, and it is impossible for Li Qingyun to hear these words. (To be continued)

ps: Li Qingyun's wonderful family, do you still remember if you don't make it? I think I should explain it, so I wrote this chapter, which is considered malicious to the idea of ​​"prioritizing boys over girls".
