Storing tens of billions of goods: I have a city that never sleeps

Chapter 79 Kowtow to the Two Sisters

Surprised, Wu Yuan looked at Ruan Yu, who nodded to confirm her guess.

These two had been dead for several hours.

And looking at the peaceful face and correct posture, it should be suicide.

Ruan Yu's eyes fell on Xiaoxiao in Lao Li's arms. The little girl was timidly lying in her father's arms and secretly looking at her, with big eyes rolling around, as if she didn't know what happened.

Lao Li stared numbly at the person on the bed, and suddenly said: "I know they don't want to burden me anymore, and want to lighten my burden. I don't have the ability to feed them and clothe them warmly. I should have thought about it earlier. When he sent me out, he told me a lot of words, damn it, I didn't realize..."

He slapped himself hard, and suddenly burst into tears with a frightened smile.

Wu Yuan quickly took the child out of Lao Li's arms, and softly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Ruan Yu asked, "Why don't you go to the hope base, didn't you say that supplies will be distributed in the base?"

Lao Li smiled bitterly: "We just came out of the base. It was okay at first, and the daily supplies were barely enough to feed our family, but as the number of people in the base increased, the supplies we got became more and more. Not much. Later, my father and I had to go out to look for supplies, but we had no supernatural powers and no survival skills, so we could only follow other teams to pick up some items secretly.

But once my father and I fell behind, and encountered zombies on the way back, and my father died protecting me. "

As if thinking of something, Lao Li's eyes suddenly filled with hatred: "I managed to escape back to the base, but what I saw was the old mother whose leg was broken, smiling faintly, and being..."

Lao Li's words were stuck in his throat, but Ruan Yu and Wu Yuan both guessed something.

The middle-aged woman on the bed looked upright, with fair skin, and she looked only in her 30s.It is obvious what such a woman will suffer in the last days without the ability to protect herself.

"Do the people at the base not care?" Wu Yuan couldn't help asking.

Lao Li shook his head in pain: "There are so many people in the base, how can they take care of them, I have found the supervisor several times, and they have all been dismissed."

He wanted to find those people desperately, but his mother, wife and daughter still needed his care, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

But the consequence of his tolerance was that those people bullied them even more. After that, every time the supplies were distributed, those people would always come to grab them. Later, he really had no choice but to leave the base with his family.

But the life after leaving was not much better. Even if they lived in a beautiful big house, they still had to be hungry.

The mother has a crippled leg and still needs to take medicine. The wife has been stimulated and her body has been weak. The daughter is so young. Long-term malnutrition made her thinner and thinner, and her face turned yellow...

While Lao Li was selling stolen antiques on the street, he was waiting at the back door of those big courtyards to pick up the garbage brought out from inside. Occasionally he was lucky enough to find some food.

But those are not enough for the whole family to eat. Every time the mother and wife secretly save their rations for him and Xiaoxiao. Looking at the thinning mother, wife and daughter, Lao Li hated his own incompetence more than once. Give them a good life.

Today, he finally made a big business, and they won't have to go hungry for a long time. He desperately wants to share the joy with his family, but he doesn't think they won't give him this chance!
Low sobs echoed in the room, and Xiaoxiao also cried in Wu Yuan's arms. Even though the three or four-year-old child didn't understand the meaning of death, he vaguely guessed something, and his small body kept trembling.

Lao Li's eyes fell on Xiaoxiao gently, and suddenly he knelt down for Ruan Yu and Wu Yuan, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and kowtowed to them several times.

Wu Yuan was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

Ruan Yu frowned.

Lao Li raised his head and said with red eyes: "I am not very capable, but I can see that the two must be capable people. Except for those people in the big courtyard, I have never seen ordinary people wearing such clothes in the last days." Clean and fitting clothes."

After a pause, Lao Li choked up and said, "I don't have any skills, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of my daughter well, so I want you to take my daughter away, even if it's a slave or handmaid, as long as I can give her a bite to eat Satisfied. I know that my request is a bit embarrassing, but I really have no choice. I beg you, those antiques will be given to you by me, and I don’t want supplies. I just ask you to take my daughter away. .”

Lao Li's head hit the floor heavily again.

The dull sound seemed to hit the hearts of several people.

"Dad, Daddy..."

When Xiaoxiao heard that her father was about to give herself away, she cried again in fright, struggled to jump down from Wu Yuan's arms, ran to Lao Li, hugged his neck and kept crying.

Lao Li's heart was sour, he wiped away his tears, pulled his daughter to kneel beside him, kowtowed to Ruan and Yu.

"Smile, quickly kowtow to the two elder sisters and beg them to take you away. Dad can't take care of you anymore..."

Wu Yuan's lips moved, but she didn't say anything, she just looked at Ruan Yu, waiting for her decision.

Ruan Yu frowned slightly: "Get up first."

"If you two don't agree, we'll keep kneeling..."

"I said, get up first."

Ruan Yu's expression faded, Lao Li unconsciously didn't dare to look at her anymore, his face was a little flustered, for fear of angering Ruan Yu, he had to pull his daughter to stand up.

After a while, Ruan Yu said: "We still have something to do in the capital. We will come to you before we leave. If you still insist on your current thinking, then I will take you away."

It's about you.

Old Li Yixi did not expect that Ruan Yu would actually agree, and even brought him along, he immediately nodded repeatedly: "I can wait for the two ladies to finish their work, and we will always wait here."

Ruan Yu glanced at his thin body with a smile, and said again: "I have seen your box of antiques before, and they are all treasures. There are 78 pieces in total. According to the agreed price, I will exchange the materials for instant noodles for you, or What do you need to replace it with?"

"No, no, miss, if you are willing to take us in, we are very satisfied. How can we still ask for your things. Those antiques are just my meeting gifts for the miss. Now those things are worthless, so don't worry about them."

"Come on, we may have to stay in the capital for several days, don't you all starve to death when we come over."

Lao Li thought that he could persevere, but his daughter hadn't eaten good food for a long time, so she accepted it with a blushing face.

Ruan Yu left two boxes of instant noodles, a bucket of purified water, and ten eggs.

She didn't know how many days it would take to find Xia Qingbai, and she didn't know how long the deal with Lin Qi would take, so she kept more things so that the father and daughter would not starve to death.

Lao Li looked at the clean mineral water and egg instant noodles excitedly, and forgot to think about how Ruan Yu and Yu came to take out so many things empty-handed.

"By the way, Lao Li, do you know that there are families named Dai and Xia who are better off in Tianshui District?"

Ruan Yu thought that Lao Li should know more about life in this area than they do.

Lao Li thought for a while, "It seems that there is..."
