The woman was stunned. She probably didn't expect Mad Demon's men to tail them, nor did she expect Shao Qing to keep an eye on this group of people.
She stuttered for a long time before saying, "We're almost at my door. Do you want to come in and have a seat?"
Shao Qing wasn't prepared to go in, but seeing the woman's expectant eyes, she thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay."
The two followed the woman into her house. They weren't so poor that they had to live in tents. They could still afford to live in a bungalow, but it was a little cramped.
As soon as the woman returned home, the group of children surrounded her and shouted. The woman touched their heads one by one and said, "These children are all orphans. They have no one to rely on. It's quite pitiful. Now we rely on each other."
She asked the children to call Shao Qing Aunt one by one. The group of children was very obedient. Shao Qing touched the children's heads and felt very emotional. Looking at these children reminded her of when she was young.
Then the woman bought some fruits and distributed them to the children.
The fruits she bought were all artificially cultivated in the base. The leftover fruits either had scars or wilted. Anyway, they weren't easy to sell. The stall owner recognized her and sympathized with her, so he sold them to her at a cheap price.
At this age, the children lacked vitamins and the like. Eating fruits often was good for their health. Therefore, she often bought some fruits when she went home. Even if they were cheap, the children were very happy.
After the children received the fruits, they couldn't bear to eat them. They nibbled on them in small bites. After nibbling, they first licked their teeth and then licked the places where they had bitten. An apple could be eaten for a long time.
The leader of the children looked slightly older than the others. He was expressionless as he stuffed the last apple to the woman. Then he whispered, "I don't like to eat this. You eat it."
The woman didn't eat it. She just wiped it and stuffed it back to him. Her eyes were red. "Eat it. I've already eaten."
Shao Qing's heart ached when she saw this. It wasn't easy for her and her brother to take care of this group of children. They must have suffered a lot. Shao Qing flipped through her space and didn't find anything suitable. She only found some candy for the little buns. She took out some and distributed them to the children.
The children's eyes were filled with joy and longing, but none of them reached out to take it. They were all very well-behaved.
Shao Qing could only say, "Take it and eat. Don't stand on ceremony."
The children all looked at the woman. The woman had just been saved by Shao Qing more than once. She hadn't even repaid her life-saving grace. How could she have the nerve to take Shao Qing's things?
Not to mention candy, which was already considered a rare child snack.
She hurriedly refused, "We can't accept it. Benefactor, you should take it back and give it to the child."
Shao Qing said faintly, "I'm giving it to the children, not you. Why are you refusing? Come, take it. It's not much, just one piece per person."
The woman could only say, "Alright, take it. Why aren't you thanking Auntie?"
The children were all very excited. They were reluctant to eat the candy and held it carefully.
Shao Qing sat for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she said, "I still have something to do. I'll leave first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come to see you."
"Benefactor, you're not staying for dinner?" The woman bit her lower lip and said disappointedly, "My cooking skills are very good."
Shao Qing shook her head, "I still have something to do." Then, she left with Er Dai. When she left, the woman and the man took the children to send her off.
After Shao Qing left, the first thing she did was to dispose of the corpses. The corpses were too close to the woman's house. Today, outside the city, the woman had a conflict with Mad Demon's people. Shao Qing was worried that Mad Demon's people would find out about her.
So, she specially cleaned up the scene and destroyed the corpses. At least, she didn't want to implicate them.
After leaving, Shao Qing touched her chin and pondered. She had heard the Mad Demon's team leader say something. Originally, it was like this. Someone beside him suggested to fry the woman first and then kill her. However, he sneered and said, "She made me lose face. How can I let her die so easily? Aren't we lacking two test subjects? I'll just use her to make up the numbers. "
Could the test subjects here be related to the previous chemical weapons?
