Survival [End Times]

For several days, Yu Heng went out on a plastic boat. What he didn't get back was not much, but it was better than nothing.

On this day, when he put away the plastic boat and returned to Seat A, Yu Heng found that although it was evening, there was no smell of food here at all. Even the fourth floor was quiet. He followed the sound to the fifth floor and found a lot of people crowded on the fifth floor.

"What are you doing?" Yu Heng was stuck at the entrance of the stairs and couldn't get in. He shouted several times before someone made room for him.

"This is none of your business. I earn every grain of rice and every drop of water in this house. I can give it to whomever I want. Why should I give it to this murderer!" Li Li, who had lost her son, had already fallen into madness and held a kitchen knife. Wave at the door.

A man sat on the ground covering his hands, and the old woman next to him hugged him and cried. Yu Heng remembered that this was the woman's husband Wang Ziyong and her mother-in-law.

"Well, Ms. Li, this matter... is between you and your husband." Wu Chunyan stood up and said, "We don't care about it, but... the child in your house, even though it's cold, it's okay to leave it like this. You think so?"

Seeing Li Li stunned, Wu Chunyan continued: "In our hometown, we all value fallen leaves returning to their roots. After this person has passed away, we also value burial. You love your child so much, why are you willing to let him stay like this?"

Li Li was completely stunned and shed tears. Wu Chunyan quickly snatched the knife from her.

Granny Wang jumped up and was about to hit someone. Li Li was slapped, but she regained consciousness and slapped her back harder. His eyes were red and he stared: "I've tolerated you for a long time, get out of here!"

"What a sin!" Grandma Wang howled. "My daughter-in-law here beats me, my mother-in-law, and chops her own husband with a knife. How can there be such a cruel woman? God, please come and take her away! She won't survive!"

Wu Chunyan was also angry and signaled Liu Guohui to pull him away. When the others were pulled away, Wu Chunyan continued to comfort Li Li: "...Do you think I am right? Don't delay the child from having a good pregnancy."

Li Li figured it out and proposed to cremate the child.

Wu Chunyan pondered: "Our hotel only has alcohol... It would be great if there was gasoline."

Li Li shook her head, how much more suffering would alcohol make the child suffer?

"Do you...do anyone have gasoline? I can exchange instant noodles with you!" Li Li asked around. There are people who are interested in rice, but no one really has gasoline. They were all in a hurry to escape the flood, and they were barely able to bring food.

Yu Heng didn't expect that after so many days, the body of the child who died young was still in the room. Thinking that the little gasoline he had at home was not needed at the moment, it would be better to exchange it for some rice, so he said, "I have it over there, I'll give it to you."

"Okay! Thank you! Thank you!"

Wu Chunyan smiled and said to Yu Heng, "Don't rush to get it yet." She was afraid that if she gave the gasoline to Li Li first, she would do something stupid tonight. People are absolutely not allowed to burn in the room. Building B is empty and no one lives there. It’s okay to go there at noon tomorrow and it won’t cause other guests to panic.

Then he said to Li Li: "Let's wait until noon tomorrow. Ms. Li is not in good spirits right now. She should have a good rest tonight."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Li Li couldn't think too much now and couldn't understand Wu Chunyan's painstaking efforts. She nodded and closed the door and entered the house.

"Mr. Wu, please come down tomorrow and help me. Ms. Li is not suitable for this situation..." Wu Chunyan whispered to Yu Heng.

"Well, don't worry." He didn't shy away from this. The number of dead people he saw in the previous mission numbered in the thousands, if not tens of thousands. The third child was also cremated by him and the fourth child.

"What are you going to do with Wang Ziyong and the other three?" Yu Heng actually didn't have a good impression of this family. The hostess is too strong, the male owner is soft-hearted but has a hard heart. The old lady watched her grandson die... She hated her daughter-in-law so much that she hated her grandson too.

However, the hostess experienced the pain of losing her son, which made people sympathize. Yu Heng is more partial to her.

In his opinion, it was a sign of a man's ability to find a woman who would make him a soft meal, but it was shameful to be so cruel and cruel to a child.

"We can't let them starve to death, right?" Wu Chunyan was also very distressed.

After hearing this, Yu Heng knew her choice. "Wang Ziyong is not someone you really want to marry. Sister Wu, please be careful." After saying this, he went upstairs.

Wu Chunyan's eyes darkened, and Zhuang Xiaoyan called her from behind: "Sister Wu, it's time to eat!"

"Here we come." She turned around and saw Zhuang Xiaoyan holding a child. Isn't that Wang Ziyong's illegitimate son Wang Beibei?

"Why are you holding him?"

Zhuang Xiaoyan smiled and said: "Sister Wu, you don't know how well-behaved this child is! It's so sweet to call someone. Come on, call this person Beibei..."

Wang Beibei grinned and shouted loudly: "Hello sister! It's time for dinner! The rice cooked by dad is so delicious!" As he said this, he opened his hands for Wu Chunyan to hug her.

Wu Chunyan smiled and touched his head without hugging him, and asked Zhuang Xiaoyan: "Is Mr. Wang cooking?"

"Yeah, he saw that I was busy, so he asked me to play with the children, and he helped."

"That's so embarrassing. Xiaoyan, Mr. Wang is a guest, so you can't do this anymore. If you are tired, just call me and I will help you."

Wu Chunyan's words moved Zhuang Xiaoyan greatly, and she said sheepishly: "Actually, I'm not tired at all..." Her eyes drifted to the child. Wu Chunyan knew that she wanted to play with the child. Yes, he is only twenty years old, his playful spirit is still there, and he is a lovable child.

She smiled considerately: "I understand, but guests are guests, so we can't do this next time, you know?"

"I understand, Sister Wu."

When Wu Chunyan arrived at the restaurant on the fourth floor, she saw Wang Ziyong setting up chopsticks. He smiled when he saw her and said shyly, "Sister Wu is here, we can eat now."

Chen Qiao, Liu Guohui and Old Lady Wang were already seated, waiting for Wang Ziyong to serve them rice. Wu Chunyan sat down and picked up a piece of boiled black fungus. The taste was indeed much better than what the four of them cooked, and even the rice was cooked well, chewy and not soft.

She listened to Wang Beibei's childish words at the table and Wang Ziyong's doting response... several thoughts crossed her mind.

In the short term, Li Li could not reconcile with Wang Ziyong. If she encountered such a thing, it would be a dream to reconcile! Therefore, the food and accommodation of Wang Ziyong and his son and Old Lady Wang had to be rearranged.

Accommodation was simple, and she had already opened a new room for them.

Food...I have been feeding them for the past few days, so it is not difficult to provide them for a few more days.

"Mr. Wang, what are your plans for the future?"

Wang Ziyong smiled bitterly, and before he could say anything, Old Lady Wang said, "Our Ziyong has been honest since he was young. If it were me, I would let Li Li divide the things into three parts, one for each of the three adults, and let the child live with us, and then we will be even with her in the future. I dare not want a daughter-in-law who beats her mother-in-law like this."

It sounded as if Li Li wanted to raise this child!

The old lady was unreasonable, but Wu Chunyan couldn't follow her. She shook her head: "I said this is your family affair, and our hotel will not interfere. As for asking us to get the spare key, I didn't agree before, and it is even more impossible to agree in the future. This is a matter of principle in our hotel management."

Old Lady Wang was very dissatisfied and said a few words of complaint. Wang Ziyong quickly stopped her and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, my mother is old and her words are a bit out of tune. Sister Wu is right, I will try my best to get Li Li's forgiveness, but before that, can I ask you for help first?"

What help, Wu Chunyan and the other four knew very well. The few of them exchanged glances, and Wu Chunyan said, "That's fine. Just come over when it's time for dinner, just like the other day."

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I'm quite skilled at cooking, let me cook all three meals a day from now on." Wang Ziyong's expression was very sincere, and Wu Chunyan couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so she nodded.

"Ms. Li Li has agreed to cremate the child tomorrow at noon... I think during this period, Mr. Wang, you should not provoke her, and we can talk about communication after tomorrow."

Wang Ziyong's smile froze for a moment, and he nodded after a long while.

Upstairs on the eleventh floor, Yu Heng's family was also having dinner, eating the noodles that Yu Heng picked up today. Wu Changxin added the instant noodle seasoning she had saved, and put in half a piece of dried seaweed, which smelled fragrant. A bag of noodles was cooked, and Yu Heng ate it with satisfaction.

"I'm going out for a walk tomorrow, too. Where did you put the boat?"

"It's downstairs, under the stairs on the third floor. If you want to go, either go before lunch tomorrow, or wait until I come back from helping Li Li." Wu Changxin's belly is so big, she can't be alone at home.

"Then I'll go out in the morning and I'll definitely be back before lunch."

"Brother Zhang, don't learn from my brother. He said he'd come back for lunch but didn't come back until dinner."

Zhang Tao stroked his stubble and smiled and replied, "I'll definitely keep my word."

At night, while Wu Changxin was asleep, Zhang Tao quietly talked to Yu Heng: "Heng Le, where does the midwife in your village live?"

Yu Heng was surprised: "Why are you asking this?" But he quickly came to his senses and sighed: "You don't have to go. I went there in the morning. The river on the other side of Wanghai River is very dangerous. If you're unlucky, you'll be swept away by the water. Later, I also thought about it. Lu Po's house is an old courtyard like ours. You can see from the outside that the water there must be deep. She must not live at home, and you won't be able to find her if you go there."

If Lu Po moved away to take shelter, where would she go to find her in the vast water?

Zhang Tao: "What should we do? Actually, Xiaoxin said she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach today, but it was fine in just five minutes. I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid you would worry. I think she should be giving birth soon. We are two grown men, how can we know how to deliver a baby." He looked worried.

"Mrs. Lu said before that Changxin's fetal position is quite correct, and there is a high possibility of natural birth." Yu Heng thought for a while: "I'll go downstairs to ask tomorrow, maybe there is someone here who can deliver a baby."

"For now, this is the only way."
