Chapter 778 The little warmth of a poor family

Chapter 778 The little warmth of a poor family

Lu Chen turned his gaze to the window sill, where there was a sunflower. Lu Lin put it there, saying it wanted to have a sense of life.

But now this precious flower of Zhu Lulin has withered, because the orchid is a bit delicate and needs to be watered appropriately every day to survive in this dry winter.

In the memory of the original owner, Lu Lin cherished this pearl flower because it was said to be a gift from her suitor in the seminary, and she watered the flower every day.

You don't need to think about it to know that Lu Lin may have liked that suitor back then, but she still rejected him and returned to this small city.

Now that the pearl flower has withered, it means that no one has watered it in the past few days, and there are no other people in the room.

Lu Chen frowned. Could it be that the original owner's sister also died?

In the unknown and mysterious world, he always likes to think the worst about things. It seems that this family's luck is not good.

He walked to the window sill and brushed the sunflower with his hand. The life essence overflowed slightly, making the bead flower glow with new life.

Then he tried to use Taoist deduction to restore what happened in this room. As a saint in the world of Zhetian, this was just a routine method.

But what made Lu Chen frown was that he found that it was impossible to trace the source. The power of the world was suppressing it, and this delicate and mysterious alien power could not be used.

As he expected, Lu Chen made a real assessment when he took action against Lanis.

Fifth-level explorers are just strong ordinary people in this world. Let alone melee explorers. If they are legal professions, those who could originally release the Sky-Sky Fire Dragon may now only be able to throw fireballs as big as a palm.

The sixth-level explorer can be considered to have a certain amount of extraordinary power, but it is still very limited. The power to destroy the world at every turn in places like the earth is no longer available. It is better to say that he has not become weaker, but the world It is more stable and less exaggerated in comparison.

Because Lu Chen's attributes have reached the seventh level, he can still fly to the sky and escape from the earth, but there are undoubtedly limitations. At least as Chu Zihang said before, he can't break this continent.

No, he couldn't even destroy a province with one move with all his strength.

Lu Chen shook his head, no, what was I thinking?

Is your desire for destruction too strong recently?

Lu Chen reflected that during the battle for the world, he had the urge to blow up the planet.

Click——

The sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole sounded, and the door behind him was pushed open. Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the family was not so unlucky.

After turning around, he saw an Oriental woman about 1.65 meters tall. She wore a white shirt with some dust stains on her upper body, a black pleated knee-length skirt on her lower body, and a cheap black skirt on her soft legs. There are several holes in the silk, as if they were scratched by stones after falling.

The half-long black hair is scattered casually, vertically on the vest. The woman looks to be in her twenties, her skin is a little dry and dull, but she can still see the shadow left by her youthful efforts, facial features, slightly thin cheeks, double eyelids, and eyelashes. very long.

You can imagine how beautiful the other person was as a girl ten years ago, but now she is becoming more and more haggard as she is tortured by life.

She had heavy bags under her eyes and her eyes were red. She had obviously been crying for a long time.

After Lu Lin opened the door, she saw the shadow standing in front of the window sill in the dim light.

A look suddenly appeared in her lost eyes. She would not admit his mistake. Even if the light was dim, she could still recognize that this was her brother through the faint shadow.

"Chenchen——"

Lu Lin pounced directly on her. Lu Chen originally wanted to get out of the way, but he sighed in his heart and made no move.

Lu Lin skillfully lit the kerosene lamp on the side of the wall, and touched Lu Chen's face with both hands as if she were a treasure, as if she wanted to check if there was anything missing.

At this moment, Lu Chen was wondering in his heart, is this my sister or my mother?

"Where have you been these past few days!"

Lu Lin almost collapsed and screamed. Seeing Lu Chen's silence, she took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and helped her brother tidy up his collar and hair, "As long as it's okay, it's okay."

Lu Chen could feel the other person's emotions. In Lu Lin's eyes, he was her brother at this time, even though he looked nothing like the original Lu Chen.

Is it sad?

Perhaps, mortals are fooled by the extraordinary power and cannot even distinguish between illusion and reality.

This woman with tender eyes would not know that her brother died in that abandoned building three days ago.

Killed by Weird, there is no law to punish Weird, and Weird will not repent or serve a sentence.

Lu Chen was not her brother, but he could still feel Lu Lin's warm feelings. He slowly said, "I'm sorry, sister."

While Lu Chen was speaking, he glanced at Lu Lin with his martial arts eyes, trying to see if there was anything special about Lu Lin.

But the result is very normal. She is just an ordinary girl. She is a complete mortal in this world. Except for strength, agility, and physical attributes, she has reached more than 95 points, and her mental attributes are only over 40 points.

There is no special physique, no special talent.

Lu Chen originally thought that the original owner's ability to survive the catastrophe was due to the special nature of his family's bloodline, but it seems that may not be the case.

Maybe he was just a lucky guy who had a sudden burst of luck, or maybe he was a poor guy. He escaped the disaster ten years ago, but ended up dying in an abandoned building in the lower city.

"Chenchen...you...what's wrong with you?"

Lu Lin looked very surprised and touched Lu Chen's head, feeling both shocked and worried.

Since the catastrophe ten years ago, her brother, apart from being able to barely take care of himself, has been chattering all day long and cannot communicate normally at all.

In the dead of night, I would often sit up from the bed, cover my head and shout, "He's coming, He's coming, they're coming again!"

It is difficult for people who have not experienced it personally to imagine that kind of scene. Just imagine that at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, you are sleeping on the floor, and suddenly there is a person sitting up on the bed next to you, talking crazy words that you don't understand, with a painful and painful expression. He grabbed your hand ferociously and shouted, "Did you hear that?" "Say, you heard it too, right!" "No... I have to run quickly!" "No, no, run! ""leave me alone!"

That was a complete lunatic. Lu Lin had endured such torture for countless nights.

She didn't get enough sleep the next day, so she got up staring at the dark circles under her eyes, covering her brother who was sleeping peacefully with the quilt, and forcing herself to get energetic for the day's work.

She felt uneasy every time she left home. Every time she tried to communicate with her brother when he was quiet, she was told not to go out for a run, but she still had to leave because she couldn't afford the 2 shillings a week here because she didn't make money. The rent cannot be exchanged for the food the siblings need to survive.

Unexpectedly, three days ago, when she came home from get off work, she found that her brother was not in the room. She went out looking like crazy, but found nothing.

Today, when she went home tired and desperate, she found that her brother had come back on his own.

And actually, it seems like he can communicate normally!

"I'm fine. Maybe it's because the weather is too cold. My mind is clearer and those voices rarely sound anymore."

Lu Chen made up a random reason. He was here to perform a mission and break through the world, but he didn't have time to act like a madman.

"Really!? The cold wind can actually take away those sounds?"

Lu Lin was very surprised and unsure, so she stretched out a finger and asked, "What is this?"

Lu Chen's mouth twitched, "One."

"What about this?"

Lu Lin stretched out two fingers.

"two."

Lu Chenxin said that I was not an idiot, and raised his hand to close the window. The night wind was too cold for ordinary people.

"What about this?"

Lu Lin stretched out four fingers.

"three."

Lu Chen replied absentmindedly, thinking about how to ask "sister" for various information about the world.

He is not willing to search for souls. Although he is a space worker, he still has his own principles of doing things.

"Ah, it's over, it's over. It was normal for you to count when you were a child."

Lu Lin looked worried.

Lu Chen came back to his senses and realized that what the other person had just held out was four fingers. He suddenly felt a little irritated and panicked. He actually counted wrongly, "Correction, it's four. I didn't look carefully just now."

"Really? What about this?"

Lu Lin put her hands together again and stretched out eight fingers.

"Eight, it's okay, sister, I'm really normal now."

Lu Chen didn't want to play the counting game anymore and blocked Lu Lin's subsequent actions.

As for the name Lu Lin was called, he had seen it in the memory of the original owner before he went crazy. When he was a child, he called her sister.

Ten years ago, "Lu Chen" was ten years old and had only attended elementary education college for one year. He went out with his parents because of travel. At that time, Lu Lin was 17 years old and was in the fourth grade of Jinkelan Public Theological Seminary. Because I was busy with schoolwork, I didn't go out with my family to escape the disaster.

Lu Chen looked at the happy and helpless Lu Lin in front of him and felt a little emotional. He really didn't know what kind of mentality the other party had come here all these years.

Preliminary judgment shows that this is the ultimate brother-supporting demon. Otherwise, how could he have the perseverance to bring up a lunatic brother? Have you taken care of him for so many years?

In the Sistine Empire, the marriageable age for women is generally 18-24 years old. According to this standard, Lu Lin is already an "old woman". After all, no man would be willing to marry a super troublesome woman as his wife.

"Are you hungry? Sister will make you something to eat."

After feeling happy, Lu Lin came to her senses and realized that her brother might not have eaten for a few days. After that, she quickly took action without waiting for Lu Chen's answer.

She took out a loaf of rye bread from the closet. After leaving it for a while, the bread became very hard, so she poured water into the pot and carefully took out two potatoes.

Lu Lin carefully used the light of the kerosene lamp to check whether the potatoes had sprouted, then skillfully used a knife to cut out the sprouted parts, cleaned the potatoes and put them in a pot to boil.

Lu Chen saw this in his eyes and said nothing. He checked with Eriyi in the team channel. According to Eriyi, she was sitting at the royal family's dining table, tasting new delicacies from another world. She also said that there were two dishes The food is very good, and she plans to learn how to cook it for herself.

The potatoes in this world are of course different from those on Earth. They are denser and more nutritious. They cannot sustain the consumption needs of people with high physical fitness in this world.

Lu Lin did not waste briquettes, and placed something like a steamer on the upper level of the pot. She broke the rye bread into three pieces and put them in it. The steam could heat and moisten the dry bread to give it a better texture. Get better.

In the small room, the dim flames on the briquettes emitted heat, and from time to time there was a crackling sound. The exhaust gas came out of the room through the pipe next to the stove, and the boiling water in the pot rolled and made a sound, in the quiet space. Echoes within.

During this period, Lu Lin continued to test her brother while looking at the pot, trying to see if he was really back to normal.

No matter what the reason was, she hoped that her brother would always be well. It was not because she was working too hard, but she just wanted her brother to live well.

In this small space, Lu Chen's heart surprisingly no longer had so many divergent thoughts and gradually calmed down.

Morning morning...

It’s a title I haven’t heard in a long time...

About ten minutes later, Lu Lin took off the steamer, took out two potatoes that had been boiled until soft, carefully took out some salt from the hanging closet on the side, peeled the potatoes and sprinkled a little on them. Some, sprinkle less together.

The missing piece belongs to you.

She took out the plate with cracked edges, took out the rye bread, and put two pieces of it on the same plate as the salty potato. She carefully took out a small jar, tapped it with a fork, and tasted it in her mouth to make sure there was no After the expiration date, spread the remaining butter on the two pieces of rye bread.

After doing all this, she placed the plate on the small table next to the bed. The small square table was hung on the wall with a triangular support and was less than half a meter long. This was a reasonable plan in a small space.

"Eat, but don't gorge yourself."

Lu Lin held her plate and sat on the other end of the bed. They had no stools, so this was all the "dining room" had.

Lu Chen picked up a loaf of rye bread and received an identification prompt from the origin space.

Unexpectedly, in this world, an ordinary loaf of bread is a good recovery item for low-level explorers.

Lu Chen took a bite, and the aroma of butter and the simple taste of softened rye spread in his mouth. He finished the whole loaf of bread in several big mouthfuls, while Lu Lin's reminders kept ringing in his ears.

Seeing that her brother was disobedient, Lu Lin hurriedly went to get a cup of boiling water that had just been boiled, and poured it continuously between the two cups, for fear that her not-so-smart brother would be choked.

Lu Chen took the water glass and did not drink it. Instead, he put the remaining piece of rye bread dipped in butter into Lu Lin's plate, "I'm full."

Seeing that Lu Lin was about to refuse, he picked up the potato again and said, "I prefer salty ones."
