A young man's head popped out of the tent. He had medium length hair, with only a tuft of red hair in the middle. He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked very sloppy.
As soon as he saw Yan Hanqing, the young man's expression changed slightly. Then, he calmed down and said, "Oh, I was wondering who it was. I didn't expect you to come back alive."
Yan Hanqing tried hard to suppress his anger. The place where ordinary people lived depended on their strength. In order to let his mother live comfortably, he didn't know how many fights he had to fight to win a big tent for two people.
The man in front of him was his defeated opponent. It was said that he was a relative of a psychic. He never expected that after he left for a few days, this man would dare to come and take over his place and throw his mother out.
As Yan Hanqing expected, the friend he asked to take care of his mother was hiding in the tent and looking at him with a pale face. "You … you're back?"
It was obvious that the two of them thought that Yan Hanqing would die outside, so they came together to take over Yan Hanqing's place.
After all, many search teams would also recruit some ordinary people as cannon fodder. The death rate of ordinary people as cannon fodder was very high, but they couldn't stand the high risk and also the high reward, so many ordinary people were willing to join.
The two of them thought that Yan Hanqing was in such a situation. They didn't expect that Yan Hanqing would come back safely.
"Get out!" Yan Hanqing's voice was low and hoarse. He gritted his teeth, and an endless storm was brewing in his eyes. The sloppy young man swallowed his saliva and straightened his neck, saying, "This is my territory! Who are you asking to get out? "
Before he finished speaking, Yan Hanqing grabbed his collar and threw him out. After Yan Hanqing threw the man out, the first thing he did was to look for medicine under the bed.
He hid the medicine that Shao Qing gave him under the bed, but his friend knew. Even if he knew that he couldn't survive, Yan Hanqing still had a glimmer of hope.
But when he lifted the sheet, Yan Hanqing saw that the bed was empty. He looked at his friend expressionlessly and asked, "Where's my medicine?"
"Who … who knows …" The man took two steps back and looked at the young man for help. At that time, he was greedy and exchanged the medicine for points with the young man. He used the points to exchange for food and clothes. How could he give the medicine to Yan Hanqing?
Yan Hanqing grabbed his collar, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He gritted his teeth and said, "I … I trusted you! I entrusted my mother to you, but I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful bastard! "
After that, Yan Hanqing threw him out, and the young man who was about to get up fell to the ground again.
Shao Qing carried Little Bun and walked in. She took a look at Yan Hanqing's mother and then shook her head. It was probably because she had been sick for a long time. When she was still in the military, she was often injured. Even after she retired, she could be considered half a doctor. Now, anyone with eyes could see that Yan Hanqing's mother was at most a breath away. It was a miracle that she could hold on until Yan Hanqing came back.
Yan Hanqing could see it too. He hugged his mother tightly and lowered his head. After a while, he said with a choked voice, "When I was young, my father passed away early. It was my mother who raised me. When I was admitted to the military school, she borrowed money from everywhere and sold her house and land to raise my living expenses and tuition. At that time, I swore that I would make my mother's life better … but I didn't do it …"
"When the apocalypse happened, I couldn't protect her. Although she wasn't eaten by zombies, she almost died in the mouth of mutant animals. Later, she was transferred to the base. I didn't have the ability to treat her. In the end, I didn't let her live a good life." Yan Hanqing's voice became more and more hysterical until the old woman gently grasped his hand, "Is Ah Qing back?"
"Mom, it's me, it's me." Yan Hanqing saw that the old woman had some consciousness, so he quickly grabbed her hand. He was afraid that he would frighten the old woman, so he lowered his voice and said, "Mom, are you okay?"
"That's good …" Yan Hanqing's mother kept smiling. She held Yan Hanqing's hand tightly and sighed. "I don't have any regrets in my life. The only regret is that I didn't get to see you get married and have children … Ah Qing, if you find a daughter who is willing to be with you in the future, you have to treat her better … Once a woman decides to marry a man, she's entrusting her life to him …"
"Mom, I know, I know." Yan Hanqing buried his head in the old woman's arms and his voice became more and more choked. The old woman touched his head and said regretfully, "I can't let it go … I can't let it go …"
"Auntie, don't worry. I will take care of him for you in the future." Shao Qing couldn't help but say. The old woman glanced at Shao Qing and smiled. There was no regret on her dirty old face. She gently pinched Shao Qing's little finger, as if she wanted to make a promise with her. But before their fingers were hooked, the old woman had already died.
Yan Hanqing's body trembled. He buried himself in the old woman's arms and didn't cry at all. But his back, which was always straight, trembled and showed some weakness.
Shao Qing didn't say anything. She didn't know how to comfort him. She just silently looked at the two people who were preparing to escape outside the door. Life, it should be paid with life, right?
