Chapter XII
The man in black in the lead was silent, and although the men behind him were also silent, there was still a trace of unbearable expression on their faces.
Before the outbreak of the virus, they were all ordinary men who abided by the law since childhood, respected the old and loved the young, although the social order collapsed, but the long-standing humanity in their hearts has not been extinguished, and seeing a child gradually lose his life in front of him, he also felt sour and uncomfortable.
Other ordinary people also had indignant looks on their faces when they saw this scene, and they were dissatisfied with the men in black.
The man in black spoke, "Who wants me to give this kid medicine?" ”
He glanced around the people in the living room.
"Me!" A man gritted his teeth and raised his hand, looking at the man in black with anger in his eyes.
The man in black didn't give him a look, and said lightly, "Is there anyone else?" ”
Several people hesitated and raised their hands.
"Me."
"And me."
The others who did not raise their hands either pretended to be asleep or looked at the man in black with suspicion.
The man in black waited for a while, making sure that no one raised his hand anymore, and said, "If five people raise their hands, then I will give five times of medicine, but these five people have no dinner today." ”
When the woman holding the child heard the previous sentence, her eyes lit up, and she said to the child in her arms, "There is salvation, there is salvation of our treasure." But after hearing the latter sentence, her voice gradually became quieter and a little uneasy.
But the five people who raised their hands just now made a fuss.
"Why?"
"Why don't you give us dinner? Who do you think you are? ”
"If we want to give us medicine, we won't give us dinner! You still have no humanity. ”
"I'm not a philanthropist," the man in black said indifferently, "I'll give you food and shelter, and I'll do good deeds with my things, and besides, I've never restricted your range of activities, you can go outside and find food by yourself if you don't have food, and no one will stop you." ”
His voice was not loud, but it made several people quiet.
"We don't have any powers, don't we let us go out and die?"
"Those who can work harder, can't you help us if you are good?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Leng Fangqing suddenly thought that she had gone down the mountain to experience when she was still young, and she happened to encounter a year of famine, and the peasants had no harvest, she saw a beggar on the side of the road who was about to starve to death, she couldn't bear it, so she took some dry food from the burden prepared for her by the master and sent it out.
Unexpectedly, all the victims of the disaster pounced on her like beasts and snatched away her baggage.
Later, he suspected that she had hidden a lot of food, wanted to threaten her and persecute her, and even wanted to hurt people, but fortunately she had the ability to protect her body.
But what if it was an ordinary person who showed kindness at that time? Wouldn't they be devoured alive by these plagued people?
Then she understood that when she was not capable of saving everyone, she should not openly show kindness to one or two people, otherwise she would receive far less gratitude and kindness than envy and malice.
Just as Leng Fangqing's thoughts were drifting away, Qin Ting pulled the corner of Leng Fangqing's clothes, "Let's go." ”
Leng Fangqing's thoughts returned, nodded slightly and followed Qin Ting upstairs.
There was still an argument downstairs, but it was getting quieter.
It wasn't until she was out of everyone's sight that Qin Ting whispered, "Miss Leng, I thought you were going up to help just now." ”
Leng Fangqing sent a message to her, "I'm not stupid. ”
Although it was true that there were some elixirs in her storage ring that could save the child, wouldn't it tell everyone that she was a sweetheart?
Qin Ting pouted, "That's it, that woman directly asked Wang Luchuan for medicine in public, it's strange if she can give it to her, everyone is staring at it, there are two and three when you open an opening, and it's not just that child who is sick, and now medicine is a rare commodity." ”
She thought for a while and said in a low voice, "One of the people who raised his hand is the child's father, since Wang Luchuan rescued him, he hasn't gone out once, and he still sends him food and water on time, a big man...... I don't take care of the children, so Miss Leng, don't think we are cold-blooded, this world is like this, many places can't be indiscriminately kind, people's hearts are sinister, you have to think twice. ”
Her words also meant to remind Leng Fangqing kindly.
Leng Fangqing bowed slightly, "I know." ”
Qin Ting was used to her voice appearing directly in her mind, and she muttered, "Miss Leng, your voice transmission is quite suitable for speaking ill of others." ”
