Chapter 419: Wen Shan Village (3)
“Sheng Sheng, accompany them in the house first. I’ll go out and take a look.”
Chu Sihan suppressed his anger and spoke softly to Lu Sheng.
“Young Master, please don’t go!”
Seeing him get up, the initially expressionless old woman changed her expression drastically.
She stood up and stopped Chu Sihan. She said in a trembling voice, “There’s nothing left to eat now. Those people even dared to eat humans to live. If you go out like this, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come back anymore!”
The reason why she was unwilling to leave with her two grandchildren was that she was afraid that those people, no, those ‘monsters,’ would eat her grandchildren.
“Granny, don’t worry. My brother knows martial arts. Those people outside can’t do anything to him.”
Lu Sheng’s call of ‘my brother’ made Chu Sihan’s heart jump.
He looked at her with a burning gaze for a while. His thin lips curved upwards and he turned around to walk past the old woman.
“Will he really be alright?”
The old woman looked at Chu Sihan’s back and mumbled to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng nodded. “He’ll be fine. He’ll also bring you out of Wen Shan Village safely.”
“Out of Wen Shan Village?”
A hint of hope flashed across the old woman’s muddy eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
“We can’t get out!”
She sighed softly and walked back to her seat. She sat down and said in a sad voice, “There are monsters that eat humans outside the village and soldiers blocking the way. There’s only death if we walk out of Wen Shan Village.”
Compared to dying without a complete corpse, she would rather starve to death in this house with her two grandchildren.
“Granny, where are your son and daughter-in-law?”
“Them?”
At the mention of her son and daughter-in-law, a smile suddenly appeared on the old woman’s face.
“They’re working at a big restaurant in another town. They haven’t been back for two years.”
In the past, she would always blame them for not coming back. However, she was very glad that they did not come back now.
“Grandma, I miss Father and Mother!”
“I miss them too!”
The two children’s eyes were filled with tears, and Lu Sheng could not bear to see them.
She took a handkerchief and wanted to wipe their tears, but they avoided her.
Knowing that they were afraid of strangers, Lu Sheng was not angry.
She retracted her handkerchief and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.”
The two children did not reply, but their eyes remained fixed on her.
“Are you hungry?”
Lu Sheng smiled and asked softly again.
The old woman said weakly, “We’ve finished the last bowl of rice soup this morning and only drank water tonight. There’s nothing else.”
Lu Sheng thought for a while and looked at them. “Wait for me for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
She stood up and walked out of the house. Standing in a corner, she took out half a bag of rice from the Space Bracelet.
This was leftover food from her previous life. When placed in the Space Bracelet, there was no strange smell at all. It was still full of rice fragrance.
She thought for a while, took out some tree mushrooms, and placed them in the rice bag. She stood outside the house for a while before returning to her room slowly.
When the trio’s initially gloomy eyes saw the item in her hand, they immediately stared at it.
In front of starving people, food to them was like a drowning person meeting a floating log.
“Granny, where’s the kitchen?”
Lu Sheng asked the old woman softly.
“There!”
The old woman stood up and pointed to the side.
“Take a seat first. I’ll cook something for you.”
The three of them nodded obediently.
At first, they could still sit. When Lu Sheng was halfway done cooking, the three of them were really famished. In the end, they could no longer sit still and went to the kitchen to watch Lu Sheng cook.
