Chapter 127 -127: Old Master Lin Leaves

Lu Ruisheng took the melon seeds, sharing the same thoughts as his wife had just a moment ago, Yuan Jiang was a man with prospects, befriending him was a good choice.

At that moment, Lin Feifei was so angry she was gasping for breath, crying as she asked Yuan Jiang, “Why? Why don’t you like me? Did Lin Mengmeng speak badly about me…”

Lin Mengmeng interrupted her, “Right now, I just want to survive; I don’t have the energy for anything else. I’m not like you; about to starve yet still able to act. If it weren’t for Grandpa’s sake, I really would slap you. Just go away, we seriously have important things to handle.”

“Important things? You think I’m making unreasonable trouble?” Lin Feifei asked incredulously.

After that, she looked at Gu Pan and asked, “Do you all think I’m making unreasonable trouble too? But who knows my pain? I used to lack nothing, everyone liked me. But why did this damn apocalypse have to come and take everything away?”

Gu Pan pocketed the melon seed shells, “Who isn’t a victim of the apocalypse? It’s not just you.”

“No, it’s not the same, you all were commoners before, you don’t understand the life I had, I can’t accept this.” Lin Feifei’s heart was filled with resentment; she really couldn’t accept it. Previously, she had been a wealthy second-generation, envied by her classmates, admired by friends around her, always on top. But now she had become ordinary, scavenging for food with these commoners, even worse off than them, she couldn’t accept it, she really couldn’t.

Gu Pan then looked at Lu Ruisheng, “Commoners? We poor folks should just go on patrol, not fit to talk with the noble upper class.”

This involvement in the drama was unintended, what’s the use in arguing with someone foolish? This era without the internet was really too idle; otherwise, they wouldn’t enjoy watching Lin Feifei lose her temper.

Speaking of which, the couple held hands and went to check if there were any abnormalities around their neighbors’ house. Although they loved watching dramas, Lin Feifei’s scenario was truly clichéd, and they got bored after a while.

Yuan Jiang and Lin Mengmeng couldn’t stand it either, they pushed Lin Feifei away and went home, then locked the door; mainly because they had just learned how to use guns and wanted to practice more while it was fresh. They really couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Only Lin Feifei was left outside crying and yelling, leaving others at a loss for words.

As they walked, Gu Pan said to Lu Ruisheng, “I thought Lin Feifei would grow from her suffering, how come she’s still so foolish?”

Lu Ruisheng smirked, “Maybe it’s just in her nature.”

“These kinds of people are really something. In the apocalypse, normal people are struggling to survive, to find food and drink, yet she, about to starve to death, still puts on this act.”

“You said it, she’s truly a ‘warrior’.”

“Indeed, but her not growing up has a lot to do with her parents,”

“If she continues like this, she won’t live long.”

“Frightening indeed.”

After sharing their sentiments, they stopped discussing it. After all, they couldn’t fully understand the Lin family’s matters, and the apocalypse made many previously normal things now abnormal, so it was hard to comment too much.

Later in the night, everyone came back, and seeing that it was still early, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to find Shi Liang, had him find someone to check the jade to ensure it was all high quality, and they felt relieved.

Later, they also exchanged some gold with Shi Liang and discussed going to other cities.

Finally, Gu Pan asked Shi Liang what he thought about a base, “If there’s a base available later, would you like to go?”

Shi Liang hesitated, “I don’t know, we both don’t have technical skills. As second-hand dealers here, we can just about manage to get by; but if we go to a base, we might easily be eliminated.”

Gu Pan had indeed overlooked this aspect earlier. She thought the base was good, but it might not suit everyone.

She thought that in the future, it might be hard to find food outside, but in the base, there would be ways to cultivate, so she had more hope for the base.

She said to Shi Liang, “There’s no news of a base yet anyway. You two consider it, a base at least has laws and order, not much risk. Next time I come, I’ll bring some books for you two. You could learn masonry, carpentry, or planting something. If there really comes a day you need to go to a base, you could have a skill.”

Shi Liang gratefully looked at Gu Pan: “Sister, you really thought of everything, I really don’t know what to say to thank you.”

“Then don’t say it, it’s about to get light; let’s go back. You guys be careful.”

After bidding farewell, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng left the night market trading point.

At this time, they couldn’t go to any other trading points, so they just went home.

Two days later, Lu Ruisheng had finished writing a detailed military training and combat plan, which he delivered with Gu Pan to Fu Chenyuan.

Fu Chenyuan gave them two boxes of jade in return. As a businessman, he understood how to make choices based on interests and wouldn’t act like some impulsive men who only thought about fighting directly; that would be too reckless.

He also made it a point to connect with capable individuals instead of engaging in conflicts.

These were some of the ways Fu Chenyuan differed from other groups, and also his strengths.

Both parties had always communicated in a very positive manner, neither too close nor too distant, which suited their current relationship perfectly.

The next day, Old Master Lin arrived with Yuan Jiang and Lin Mengmeng to say goodbye.

Old Master Lin brought ten kilograms of fine rice, looking earnestly at Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng: “I know you two are kind-hearted and good people, so I have no choice but to shamelessly ask for this favor.”

He paused, then took out a painting to give to Gu Pan, saying, “This painting is my most beloved possession in life, a masterpiece by Tang Yin. Although it is the apocalypse now, I believe it still holds significant value. I want to use this painting to ask for your help.”

Although Gu Pan didn’t understand antiques or calligraphy paintings, she knew the high value of Tang Yin’s works. Such things were rare and also served as a testimony to the historical progression. After the apocalypse, these historic artifacts would become even scarcer, making them even more precious. Gu Pan wanted to do her best to help preserve some of these things for the nation.

So she said to Old Master Lin, “First tell us what it is, and if we can, we won’t refuse.”

Old Master Lin said, “We are leaving now. I’m leaving these ten kilograms of grains with you. If Lin Ran’s family really can’t survive, please help give it to them, but only when they absolutely cannot survive any longer.”

Gu Pan understood Old Master Lin’s meaning; it wasn’t difficult, and his humble approach along with the compensation made it acceptable.

But she had her concerns: “If something unexpected happens, we might have to leave at any time, and then I can only give them the food in advance.”

Old Master Lin expressed understanding, “That would be their fate; they have no choice, so I accept. I truly have no other option now. I am leaving with the two children, and it might still be possible to carve out a future for them. If we stay here, the Lin family would indeed be finished.”

Gu Pan could understand Old Master Lin’s situation, but some things she preferred not to comment on extensively. She said, “That’s fine then. I hope you can be safe and smooth in the new place.” After saying this, she then took the painting.

Old Master Lin gratefully said, “You two are good kids, well raised by your parents, unlike me…” he paused here, not wanting to continue on that topic, as it only aggravated him.

He then added, “If we ever have our own place, we will definitely not forget your kindness.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t say much, though their upbringing was actually not much related to their parents. But discussing that now would be unnecessary.

They simply offered some blessings and reassurance.

Yuan Jiang turned to them and said, “We will go to that Iron West Bridge you mentioned. I really appreciate you giving us this idea; I’ve been there twice before and am familiar with the situation there. I plan to settle there, thank you truly.”

Lu Ruisheng responded, “What we gave was just a direction, everything in the future will still depend on you. Take care.”

Yuan Jiang nodded, “You too, take care.”

Afterward, they bid each other farewell.
