Chapter 005: Death Is Only a Matter of Time
After a small turmoil, Shen Lu's business gradually improved.
This time, there is no such vicious customer as Xue Cang.
After all, the supernatural are a minority, and most of the citizens are ordinary people, and they can't perceive the beauty of peppermint water.
Everyone is very satisfied with the taste of mint water, but there are always people who will sigh with pity on her face that it is not easy.
At first, Shen Lu didn't take it seriously, but later someone pointed to Fu Cheng and said, "At a glance, I know that your brother was injured on the front line, and the follow-up treatment cost is very high." ”
Her brother?
Shen Lu realized it later, so did the customers regard Fucheng as her brother?
It's not impossible, brothers and sisters are better than husband and wife.
Shen Lu naturally acquiesced in the relationship between the two, and said with a tenacious face: "No matter how much it costs, I will also cure my brother!" ”
Someone was moved by Shen Lu's determination not to abandon or give up on Fucheng, after all, in this indifferent society, there are not many people who can do this, even if they are close relatives, they will give up their family members who will bring trouble and burdens for one reason or another.
So the man said to buy another cup of mint water to support Shen Lu.
Shen Lu reluctantly refused.
She also wants to sell, but it's not cost-effective.
As the sun set in the west, Shen Lu's mint water was finally sold out, she put away the empty buckets and signboards, and pushed Fucheng back to the seventeenth block.
[Ding Dong, 10/10 mint water is detected, the task has been completed, and a lottery ticket will be awarded.] 】
Shen Lu pushed the cart hard while silently reciting the lottery.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the No. 118 blind box prize: a sweet egg waffle machine. 】
[Sweet egg waffle machine: Don't worry about burning food at all, 100% successful egg waffle machine, kitchen novice can also make perfect egg waffles! 】
Shen Lu: ...... It's okay, I can sell one more kind of dim sum tomorrow.
It's just that the raw materials for making egg waffles need her to pick up garbage to change, and it's weird to be tired when you think about it.
Shen Lu spent 100 star coins to rent a small house on the first floor in the seventeenth block, ten square meters, with some simple furniture, the biggest advantage is that it is very close to Pinjin Street, which is convenient for her to go out of the stall.
There was a strange smell of old accumulation in the house, which was very unpleasant, and Shen Lu opened the only window to try to disperse the smell as much as possible.
With all his strength, he dragged Fu Cheng to the small single bed, and he sat on the old sofa that was seriously dented, and rested for a while before relieving himself.
So tired, Shen Lu didn't care how uncomfortable the old sofa was, so he fell asleep.
The sun had completely set, and the room without lights was dark, except for a few faint patches of light shining in through the window.
Fu Cheng quietly opened his right eye, slowly rolled his eyes and looked around.
It turned out to be in a room, and he thought he would be thrown to the side of the road.
When he saw Shen Lu sleeping on the sofa, he felt complicated.
He knew that Shen Lu fed him mint water, and very robberly changed the gauze and saline in the folding medicine box, and then rescued him from the bite of the rats, and took him to the street to set up a stall, and the first customer he met was a ruthless mercenary, and he almost lost his life.
Or did he try to increase the risk of injury, and used his abilities to deter the mercenaries.
The second he used his ability, his body seemed to be torn apart by something, and the spiritual sea was even more riotous.
Using abilities is a big no-no for him right now, which is why he doesn't react when eaten by rats.
At most, the rat will eat his flesh and will not kill him, but once the ability is used, it will accelerate the flow of spiritual toxins, and he will die immediately.
But Fucheng still used it.
Regardless of whether the relationship between him and Shen Lu was just average, but when he was abandoned by everyone, only she didn't.
With this alone, Shen Lu was worth his risk.
Moreover, Shen Lu got mint water from nowhere, which had a miraculous effect on his injuries, and fortunately, she fed him another cup of mint water, which saved his spiritual sea that was about to explode, and barely picked up a life.
Fu Cheng's eyes were heavy, remembering the truth he had overheard before he was sent away by the Fu family.
He always knew that he was not his parents' biological son, and his biological parents died fifteen years ago.
The uncle's family not only took over his father's position as the head of the family, but also promised everyone that they would raise him as if he were their own son.
Uncle and aunt have really treated him well over the years, they have never been harsh on him, and they are even better to him than their younger brothers and sisters.
But it's all fake, everything is a show.
It turned out that the death of his biological parents was designed by his uncle, and his serious injury on the front line was also secretly operated by his uncle.
In order to really control the Fu family.
"Now that Fucheng is in ruins, no one will ever ask him to take my place."
"In the future, the position of the head of the Fu family will be Xiaoqi, husband, let's throw Fu Cheng away, I don't like him to stay at home, I feel that the air is not fresh."
"That's it, Dad, throw him out quickly, every time I see him, I can remember the words that my classmates always praised him in front of me, calling me and not calling my name, always calling Fucheng his brother, do I have no name? It's disgusting. ”
"Me too, they all call me his sister in Fucheng, it's really annoying!"
"Okay, okay, there won't be this situation in the future, it's a bit undignified to throw people out directly, in this way, I will send him to the Shen family, doesn't he still have a fiancée? Let his fiancée take care of it. ”
"Hmph, you don't know yet, do you? Shen Lu is a fake daughter, the real daughter of the Shen family has returned, no wonder I said that Shen Lu has such an arrogant temper, it turns out that he is a cheap breed of inferior people. ”
"But I also saw that she was not a good thing so I took the initiative to marry the Shen family, and it couldn't be better to throw Fucheng to her, with Shen Lu's temper, I must be impatient to take care of Fucheng, and Fucheng will be 'taken care of to death' by her in less than a month."
……
Thinking of this, Fu Cheng took a breath, and a strong hatred welled up in his heart.
He used to really regard his uncle and aunt as his biological parents, as well as his cousins and cousins, as long as it was their request, he would basically meet them, and he never doubted them at all.
even thought that when he entered the military department, he wanted to bring them supreme glory and let the Fu family reach a higher level in the imperial capital.
It turned out to be all wishful thinking on his part, a conspiracy and a deception.
If only he could have noticed it earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in the current situation, let alone revenge, it would be difficult to just survive.
Fu Cheng's eyelids sank.
He couldn't stay awake for long, and after a short moment of opening his eyes, he became sleepy and had to go into a semi-dormant state.
Shen Lu, who was pampered in the Shen family, was kicked out with him, and he was able to hold on to it on the first day, but what about the second day, the third day, and the fourth day?
Fu Cheng slowly closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
If...... If Shen Lu chose to abandon him because he couldn't afford him, it didn't matter, he wouldn't blame her.
It's just that deep down, Fu Cheng still hopes that Shen Lu won't do this, no one wants to be given up and abandoned.
Even if he knew that he was a waste now, it would only cause trouble for people.
And he was so badly injured that the military department had the most advanced medical technology and could not cure him, and it was only a matter of time before he died.
But wouldn't it be better to have someone by your side than to die alone?
