The man’s eyes were slightly red, but he stubbornly did not shed tears. In addition, as a father, his sincere and pitiful words would make anyone who saw this scene have sympathy. When the man knelt in front of them and spoke, many people around them looked over.
Before Du Yue and the other two could speak, someone could not help but say, “Yeah, if you have the ability, help him. He’s really pitiful! I really don’t have any extra food. If I had any, I’d definitely give it to him. His child is only seven years old. He has not had enough to eat or wear since he was born. He’s too pitiful. The more I think about it, the more of a pity I think it is.”
As soon as this person finished speaking, the other onlookers could not help but echo, “That’s right! It’s fine if we adults are hungry, but the children are really too pitiful! If you have the ability, you should help! It’s really just a meal. It won’t affect you guys!”
Du Yue did not say a word. She only sized up the people in front of her with interest and swept her gaze across their faces. Her gaze carried a probing look that could not be ignored. Those who were looked at by her felt inexplicably guilty.
Du Yue raised her eyebrows and said mercilessly, “I didn’t expect to see so many saints after the apocalypse. Since you care so much about his child, why don’t I give you this opportunity to do good? There are so many of you. As long as each of you gives him a meal, his son can live for at least another month. What do you guys think?”
Du Yue’s words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Although the surrounding people had different expressions, no one spoke. She could not help but sneer. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Didn’t you all say that the child was extremely pitiful? But you won’t even pay for a meal? This is a life-saving matter! Could it be that… you only know how to use your mouth to say a few words since they come at no added cost? If this is considered heartache, then I’ll say a few words of heartache too.”
After saying this, Du Yue looked at the man kneeling on the ground and said indifferently, “Your child is really pitiful, but I really can’t do anything about it. Why don’t you think of another way?”
After Du Yue finished speaking, she was about to walk around the man and continue walking forward. The man kneeling on the ground finally came back to his senses. “Stop right there! How can you be so cruel? I just want a meal. Do you want to watch a sapling of our country die?”
“You’re not taking responsibility for your child, so others have the obligation to raise your child for you? As far as I know, there are many people who hire people to work on this grassland. Instead of wasting your time kneeling here, why don’t you hurry up and move a few more bricks so that your son can eat his fill?”
Du Yue said coldly and walked around the man. He Xing and Xia Ju also followed closely. The three of them immediately left without looking back. The man pounced forward and wanted to hug Du Yue’s leg, but he was kicked far away by Du Yue. “What? Seeing that guilt-tripping isn’t working, you’re going to start making a move?”
Du Yue looked coldly at the man in front of her. Her eyes were bone-piercing cold and indifferent. Being stared at by Du Yue, the man felt inexplicably guilty. The people who were originally crowding around and jeering had already taken a few steps back when Du Yue asked them to share their food.
Now that Du Yue’s gaze swept over them, the group of people immediately made way for Du Yue and the other two to pass. It was not until they had walked some distance away and could no longer see those people that Xia Ju frowned and said, “Fortunately, the three of us have no sense of guilt. Otherwise, we would’ve been tripped up by them.”
Du Yue smiled and looked at Xia Ju. “You’re sure good with words.”
Ever since the apocalypse, they had encountered people who used all kinds of excuses to trap them. As time passed, Du Yue was also very puzzled. What were these people thinking? Why would they think that they could get precious resources from others just from guilt-tripping?
At this time, who would care about reputation or morals? Du Yue’s few morals could only make her not fight for other people’s survival resources and not take the initiative to hurt anyone. As for taking out her own things and giving them to others for free, that was what Virgin Mary should do—not what they should do.
Moreover, she had known long ago that when the apocalypse arrived, she should kill Virgin Mary first..
