Chapter 140: Gratitude
"It's useless to speculate here now, Professor Sun, have you and Xiao Mo had dinner this morning? Why don't we eat something first, and then go and meet the animal trainer and Wang Zhiqiang. As he spoke, Du Jiujiu opened his backpack, took out dried meat and chocolate from it and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
They walked from the subway station in a hurry this morning, and they didn't eat anything, and it was only eight o'clock in the morning, Du Jiujiu thought that Professor Sun and Xiao Mo hadn't had breakfast either, so he planned to invite them to have breakfast together.
The others pulled out the food in their backpacks: jerky, biscuits, bread, chocolate, and some unfinished drinks they had found on the road.
Since they found a lot of food along the way, they didn't consume much of the dry food they originally brought, and soon the coffee table was full.
Xiao Mo's eyes were straight when she looked at the piles of food, her eyes never left the table full of food, the room was quiet, and Du Jiujiu could even hear her swallowing saliva.
Professor Sun's appearance is much better than Xiao Mo's, but there is also a longing in his eyes that cannot be concealed.
For so long after Xiao Mo's parents left, he and Xiao Mo stayed at home and never dared to go out, and there was not much food stored at home, and even if Xiao Mo was young, he was still a power powerhouse after all, and the demand for food was still very large.
Even though the grandfather and grandson had been trying to save food, and even Professor Sun himself only ate one meal a day, the food at home was quickly bottomed out. If it goes on like this, if Du Jiujiu and the others don't arrive in time, even if the beast tamers don't come to retaliate against them, they won't be able to hold on for long.
"Girl, these foods are so precious, if you are willing to help us like this, this kindness will definitely be firmly remembered by Xiao Mo and me!"
Professor Sun's eyes gradually moistened, he didn't want to accept these precious foods, after all, he himself was already old, and he also looked down on life and death after the accident happened to his son and daughter-in-law, but he still had Xiao Mo, the only relative, Xiao Mo was still so young, she shouldn't have died here like this.
"Professor Sun, you are a respectable person, I will naturally do my best to help you, these are just trivial things. When I go to avenge you, Brother Luo will take you and Xiaomo to the imperial capital together, and then your life will be guaranteed. โ
Du Jiujiu was a little embarrassed by him, these foods are very precious to Professor Sun and Xiao Mo, but it is still easy to hunt prey by himself, compared to his own efforts, Professor Sun's contribution in the field of scientific research in the future is the real valuable wealth.
"Jiu Jiu is right, besides, I am on a mission to pick up Professor Sun, and I should be responsible for your food and lodging safety." Seeing that Professor Sun was so polite, Luo Yucheng also stepped forward and persuaded him to speak.
"Good boy, although this is the case, but don't think that grandpa is old and doesn't know, it's the end of the world now, and even if you don't come, no one will force you. But you are still kind-hearted, and you are willing to take care of my bad old man and my little granddaughter, and share the kindness, I will remember it no matter what! โ
Although Professor Sun is old, his mind is not confused, he does not take Luo Yucheng's assistance to him for granted, and his eyes are full of gratitude to them.
"Professor Sun, let's not talk about this for now, you see that Xiaomo is also hungry, let's eat something together first." Seeing that Professor Sun was so sensible, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but increase his respect for him a little more, but now there was no spare time for them to push him like this.
It has been a long time since Luo Yucheng carried out this mission, and now that he has received Professor Sun, they naturally have no reason to delay any longer, but before leaving, they must go to the beast trainer, otherwise Xiao Mo and Professor Sun may have a knot that they will not be able to untie for the rest of their lives, so that there is probably very little time to travel today.
Professor Sun naturally knew the priority of the matter, so he didn't push it anymore, so he took Xiao Mo's hand and sat down in front of the coffee table with Du Jiujiu.
Xiao Mo is a very well-behaved child, although she has not eaten a full meal for a long time, but she is not willing to reach for food until her grandfather's permission.
"Thank you, brother and sister, I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Xiao Mo opened a pack of biscuits, and as soon as she put the biscuits in her mouth, Xiao Mo's tears flowed uncontrollably again.
Looking at the well-behaved Xiao Mo, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but think of herself when she had just lost her parents, and a sour feeling came to her heart again.
"Xiao Mo, if you really want to repay us, then you must first become strong yourself. You are so thin and weak now, you can't even protect yourself, how can you have the ability to help others? โ
When Du Jiujiu's words fell, he saw that the look in Xiao Mo's eyes gradually dimmed.
Seeing this, Du Jiujiu hurriedly rubbed her little head, pointed to the jerky on the coffee table and said to Xiao Mo with a smile: "You see, these mutant jerky contains energy, ordinary people eat it to strengthen their bodies, and eating more for those with abilities can help improve the level of ability!" โ
"Really, really? Can you become powerful if you eat this?? Xiao Mo raised her head and looked at Du Jiujiu in disbelief.
"That's right, your sister Jiujiu is right, she herself became so strong because she ate a lot of such jerky." An Cheng said, and winked at Du Jiujiu with a wicked smile.
Although these jerky do contain energy as Du Jiujiu said, although these energies can fill the abilities consumed in the body to a certain extent, they do not have much effect on the improvement of the ability level, especially when it comes to Du Jiujiu's current ability level, these jerky are just a drop in the bucket.
Just now Du Jiujiu said to Xiao Mo like this just to let her cheer up and eat more food, and this little trick is still very effective, as expected, Xiao Mo wiped her tears after listening to Du Jiujiu and An Cheng's words, and then grabbed the jerky and ate it in a big gulp, and soon her little belly was bulging.
"Xiaomo, eat slowly, don't choke." Wei Qingqing suddenly couldn't cry or laugh when she saw Xiao Mo's eating appearance, she casually took a cup from the cup holder on the coffee table, and filled the cup with water and handed it to Xiao Mo with her ability.
"ThisโThis is water!?"
Before Xiao Mo could take the cup, Professor Sun stood up in shock, took the water cup in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.
"Yes, of course it's water, and it's delicious!" Wei Qingqing stretched out his hand again with some pride, gathered a ball of clear water and handed it to Professor Sun.
