The first food stall in the wasteland

Chapter 5 Death is only a matter of time

After the minor disturbance passed, Shen Lu's business gradually improved.

This time, there were no more vicious customers like Xue Can.

After all, people with super powers are a minority, and most citizens are ordinary people who cannot detect the wonders of peppermint water.

Everyone is very satisfied with the taste of mint water, but there are always people who feel pity that it is not easy for her.

Shen Lu didn't take it seriously at first, but someone pointed to Fu Cheng and said, "Your brother was injured on the front line, and the follow-up treatment costs are very high."

Her brother?

Shen Lu realized later, so the customers thought Fucheng was 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 tough face: "No matter how much it costs, I will cure my brother!"

Some people touched Shen Lu's determination not to abandon Fucheng. After all, in this indifferent society, there are not many people who can do this. Even close relatives will give up for one reason or another. Burdened family.

So the man said to buy another glass of mint water to support Shen Lu.

Shen Lu reluctantly refused.

She also wants to sell it, but it's not worth it.

The sun was setting, and Shen Lu's mint water was finally sold out. She put away the empty buckets and signs, and pushed Fucheng back to the [-]th Street Block.

[Ding Dong, the sale of mint water 10/10 has been detected. The task has been completed and a lottery ticket will be awarded. 】

Shen Lu was struggling to push the cart while silently recited the lottery draw.

[Congratulations to the host for winning the blind box prize No. 118: a sweet egg waffle machine. 】

[Sweet Egg Waffle Maker: Don’t worry about burning the food at all, with the 100% successful egg waffle maker, even a beginner in the kitchen can make perfect egg waffles! 】

Shen Lu: ...It's okay, I can sell one more snack tomorrow.

She just needs to pick up trash to get the raw materials for making egg waffles, which makes her feel tired just thinking about it.

Shen Lu spent 100 stars to rent a small house on the first floor in Block [-], which was ten square meters and had some simple furniture. The biggest advantage was that it was very close to Jinjin Street, which made it convenient for her to run a stall.

There was a strange smell accumulated over time in the house, which was very unpleasant. Shen Lu opened the only window and tried to dissipate the smell as much as possible.

He dragged Fucheng to the small single bed with all his strength, while he sat on the severely dented old sofa and rested for a long time before he recovered.

So tired, Shen Lu didn't care how uncomfortable the old sofa was and just fell asleep.

The sun had completely set, and the room without the lights was dark, with only a few blurry lights coming in from the window.

Fucheng quietly opened his right eye, and slowly rolled his eyes to look around.

It turned out to be in a house, and he thought he would be thrown to the side of the road.

When he saw Shen Lu sleeping on the sofa, his mood became complicated.

He knew that it was Shen Lu who fed him mint water, and also changed the gauze and saline solution in the folding medical box like a gangster, and then rescued him from being bitten by mice and took him to set up a stall on the street. The first customer on board was a ruthless mercenary who almost lost his life.

It was he who risked aggravating the injury and used his abilities to deter the mercenaries.

The second he activated his ability, his body seemed to be torn apart by something, and his mental state was even more violent.

Using superpowers is taboo for him now, which is why he didn't react at all when being eaten by rats.

At most, the rats would eat his flesh, and would not kill him, but once the power was used, it would speed up the flow of mental toxins, and he would die immediately.

But Fucheng still used it.

No matter that his relationship with Shen Lu was just average before, when he was abandoned by everyone, she was the only one who didn't.

For this reason alone, Shen Lu was worth the risk.

Moreover, Shen Lu got the mint water from somewhere, which had a miraculous effect on his injuries. Fortunately, she fed him another glass of mint water, which managed to save his spirit from exploding and barely managed to survive.

Fucheng's eyes were heavy, remembering the truth he overheard before he was sent away by the Fu family.

He has always known that he is not his parents' biological son. His biological parents died unfortunately 15 years ago.

The brother-in-law's family not only took over his father's position as head of the family, but also promised everyone that he would be raised as his own son.

His uncle and aunt have been really good to him over the years, they have never been harsh on him, and they are even nicer to him than his younger brothers and sisters.

But it's all fake, everything is a show.

It turned out that the death of his biological parents was planned by his uncle, and his serious injury on the front line was also secretly manipulated by his uncle.

The purpose is to truly control the Fu family.

"Now that Fucheng is ruined, no one will ask him to take my place anymore."

"From now on, the position of the head of the Fu family belongs to Xiao Qi. Husband, let's throw Fucheng away. I don't like him staying at home. It feels like the air is no longer fresh."

"That's right, 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. They didn't even call me by my name. They always called Fucheng his brother. I am No name? That’s so disgusting.”

"Me too, they all call me his sister Fucheng, it's really annoying!"

"Okay, okay, there won't be such a situation in the future. It would be disrespectful to throw someone out directly. In this way, if I send him to the Shen family, doesn't he still have a fiancée? Let his fiancee take care of it. "

"Hmph, you don't know yet, right? Shen Lu is a fake daughter, and the real daughter of the Shen family has returned. No wonder I said Shen Lu has such an arrogant temper. He turns out to be a low-class bastard."

"However, I also saw that she was not a good person, so I took the initiative to marry the Shen family. It would be best to throw Fucheng to her. With Shen Lu's temper, he must be impatient to take care of Fucheng. Within a month, Fucheng will be gone." Can be 'care to death' by her."

……

Thinking of this, Fucheng 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. As long as it was their request, he would basically meet their requests and never doubted them in the slightest.

He even thought that after joining the military headquarters, he would bring them supreme glory and bring the Fu family to a higher level in the imperial capital.

It turned out that this was all his wishful thinking, a conspiracy and a scam.

If only he could have noticed it earlier, so that he wouldn't end up like this. Let alone revenge, it would be difficult to just survive.

Fu Cheng's eyelids became heavy.

He couldn't stay clear for a long time. He became sleepy the moment he opened his eyes and had to enter a semi-sleep state.

Shen Lu, who was pampered in the Shen family, was kicked out together with him. If he could survive the first day, what about the second, third, and fourth days?
Fu Cheng slowly closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

If...if Shen Lu chooses to abandon him because she can't afford him, it doesn't matter, he won't blame her.

But deep down in his heart, Fucheng still hoped that Shen Lu would not do this. No one wanted to be given up or abandoned by others.

Even if he knows that he is a waste now, it will only bring trouble to others.

Moreover, he was seriously injured, and the military has the most advanced medical technology, and there is no way to cure him. It is only a matter of time before he dies.

But is it better to have someone by your side than to die alone?
