Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

Chapter 37 Kindness is the most useless thing in the last days

Yang Qing was surprised to see the crowd in chaos. Did people from the seventh floor come down to help?

I saw Lin Xueting rushing down like crazy with a kitchen knife, slashing everyone she saw. Several people had been injured by her, and their bodies were covered in blood.

People behind pushed forward, some were pushed down, and several were trampled.

The person in front was washed into the water.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Biao quickly jumped on a rubber boat and tried to run away.

"Biaozi, wait for me!" Mrs. Xiong shouted from behind.

Zhang Biao opened the rubber boat and wanted to run away as if he hadn't heard anything.

Yang Qing took out a crossbow from his bag. It was not that easy to run away.

After one arrow passed, there was a "puff", and the rubber boat leaked air. After two more arrows, the rubber boat completely tilted, and Zhang Biao fell into the water with a "plop".

"Help, I can't swim!" Zhang Biao splashed in the water.

"Sister, sister, please save me!"

Mrs. Xiong looked at her brother with a complicated expression. He didn't care about his own life just now. Do you want to save him now?
  But her husband is dead, and if her brother dies too, she will have no relatives left.

Mrs. Xiong gritted her teeth, jumped into the water and swam towards Zhang Biao.

Yang Qing was surprised. She didn't expect such a fat Mrs. Xiong to be able to swim.

Even her younger brother had abandoned her, but she still couldn't bear to die without saving him. She didn't know whether she should be called stupid or because she had a weak conscience.

Yang Qing didn't kill her and just let nature take its course. They were lucky if they could be saved. If they couldn't save her, they wouldn't help.

Others made a noise, some jumped into the water, and some jumped on other rubber boats and ran away.

The corridor suddenly became quiet. Only Lin Xueting was still waving the kitchen knife, her eyes were dull, as if she was crazy.

Yang Qing frowned, is there something wrong with his brain?

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Lin asked.

Yang Qing shook her head. Could it be that she killed someone that night, and he didn't let her live on the seventh floor? The excitement was too great, right?
  "Then what should we do now?" Lu Lin looked at Lin Xueting. She seemed to no longer recognize people. Even they might have been chopped down in the past.

While hesitating, Leng Yi came down from upstairs. When he saw Yang Qing and the others, he made a silent gesture and walked behind Lin Xueting calmly. He slashed with his knife hand and Lin Xueting fell limply.

Yang Qing and Lu Lin quickly moved the assault boat over. Leng Yi was a little surprised to see that they came back with only two bundles of firewood.

Yang Qing touched his nose and said, "I didn't find anyone, so I brought back some firewood."

In order not to make Leng Yi suspicious, he added, "We don't have much gas. It will be gone after we use it. We can only burn firewood. How about we go outside together to look for where there is gas?"

Leng Yi nodded and lifted Lin Xueting up, "Tomorrow we will go to various gas stations to have a look."

Walking to the sixth floor, Leng Yi took Lin Xueting back to her home and put her on the bed.

"Is this okay?" Lu Lin was a little worried.

But if she is taken to the seventh floor, who will take care of her? How can they take care of a lunatic when they can't guarantee their own livelihood?
  The three of them fell silent, and Yang Qing said, "How about sending her to a rescue station? The government people won't let her starve to death."

"But the people there are so complicated and there is no one to take care of her. Then she..." Lu Lin did not continue. Even a normal person might be bullied, let alone someone who is not clear-headed.

"Leave something for her and check the situation tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we can only send it over." Leng Yi said.

In the last days, when you have too much time to take care of yourself, who has the energy to take care of a madman?
  "Then let's do this for now. I'll go upstairs to get her something." Yang Qing nodded.

Leng Yi opened the door and helped take the assault boat and two bundles of firewood to the top floor. Yang Qing went back to her room, took a bottle of mineral water and some bread and sent them to Lin Xueting's house. Then she closed the door and waited until she woke up to take a look at the situation.

The next day, Yang Qing went down to see Lin Xueting after breakfast, but found her door open and quickly walked in.

I saw Lin Xueting sitting in the living room, eating the bread she sent yesterday, and Teacher Zhang sat next to her.

Teacher Zhang stood up quickly when she saw Yang Qing coming over, "Miss Yang..."

"Teacher Zhang." Yang Qing nodded, "Why are you here?"

Teacher Zhang sighed, "I saw it when she went down with the kitchen knife yesterday. I wanted to stop her but didn't dare. Fortunately, he didn't hurt me. She still knows who is the good guy and who is the bad guy subconsciously."

"I knew it when you brought her up yesterday, so I just wanted to take a look today. She opened the door by herself when she knocked on the door just now. It seems to be much better than yesterday."

"He is also a poor child. He lives alone in this city and has no one to take care of him. He often said hello when we met before. He is a polite child. Who knew..."

Yang Qing didn't expect Teacher Zhang to be so kind, and he would still be so concerned about just going up and down the stairs.

"Teacher Zhang, we want to..."

"I think……"

They both spoke at the same time.

"Speak first." Yang Qing made a gesture of invitation.

"I want to take her to my house. My daughter-in-law died long ago. I only have my son and grandson at home. The grandson is still young and needs a mother. I can take care of her!"

"But, she is a little abnormal now." Yang Qing was surprised. She didn't expect that Teacher Zhang would still be willing to take care of Lin Xueting when she was like this.

And this is not ordinary times, it is the end of the world. One more person means one more mouth. Does their family have enough food to support another person?

"I know, but she is not serious, just a little bit disabled, which does not affect her life. If she is sent away, she may only die." Teacher Zhang sighed, "I can't guarantee that she can live one more day in this world. How long can I take care of her?"

Yang Qing was a little moved. Although compassion is not desirable in the end of the world, it is still valuable.

She has experienced the apocalypse herself and has become hard-hearted, but she still admires those who have the courage to sacrifice.

"Teacher Zhang, let me thank you on her behalf." Yang Qing nodded, "I think she was irritated that night. Maybe she can get better by taking some medicine. I'll get you some medicine."

Yang Qing pretended to go back to her room and searched around the space. There were no medicines for mental illnesses, but there were some antidepressants. Let's see if they help.

Then he packed a five-pound bag of rice, the dried noodles that Zhang Nian had sent before, two eggs, and two bottles of mineral water.

"Teacher Zhang, this is all I have. Take it and think of it as a little tribute from us to Lin Xueting."

"Also, I think this medicine may be of some use. Give it to her first and see. If she gets better, that would be the best. If not, you can teach her slowly."

"Thank you, I thank you on behalf of Xiao Lin!" Teacher Zhang took the things, simply packed some clothes at Lin Xueting's house, and took her back to his home.

Yang Qing went upstairs and talked to the others, but everyone fell silent.

In such troubled times, it is difficult for ordinary people to take over a mentally ill person.

I can only say that Teacher Zhang is too kind, but kindness is the most useless thing in the last days.

I don't know if this brought him blessing or disaster.

"Otherwise, if we find food in the future, we can help them a little bit, which can be considered a little kindness from us." Li Shengnan said.

Yang Qing nodded. There were a lot of things in her space, but she didn't dare to take them out for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble. If it was just a little bit, that would be fine.
