Chapter 1385 Zombie Siege Part 21
The old woman covered her face and stammered, "But you took our things."
The old woman's eyes were somewhat blank.
Who would have thought that at her age, she would suffer such injustice?
Upon seeing his mother being beaten, Jiang Lin was enraged and exclaimed, "Are you even human? How could you hit an elderly person?"
After saying this, Jiang Lin turned to look at the people around him and said, "Don't you have any heart? Are you all cold-blooded?"
The people nearby, upon hearing Jiang Lin's words, said with some dissatisfaction, "I have nothing to do with you."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear.
Jiang Lin felt utterly hopeless; it seemed impossible to incite others to help.
After a few people fought, Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan walked away cursing for a while.
Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan lay sprawled on the ground like dead dogs.
As you can see, both Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan have loose hair around them.
It was obvious at a glance that both of them had pulled out quite a bit of hair from each other.
The exposed skin was visibly bluish-purple, and Jiang Lin had two dark circles under his eyes.
Ma Ruoyan's face was swollen high, and the collar of her clothes was torn and deformed.
Upon seeing this, someone couldn't help but remark, "How much of a bargain were they taken advantage of?"
"Sigh, I'm still at a disadvantage when it comes to fighting."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
Upon hearing these words, Ma Ruoyan wished she could faint immediately.
Jiang Lin felt pain all over his body and didn't want to move.
Unfortunately, Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan fell in places that belonged to other people.
So after the fight ended, the original owner of the spot, feeling unlucky, threw Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan down there.
No matter how much the old woman tried to dissuade her, it was to no avail.
Clearly, no one takes her seriously.
After Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan were thrown out of the car, the old woman had no choice but to follow them.
After seeing Ma Ruoyan and Jiang Lin's appearance, Jiang Qing supported Jiang Cong and stood silently to the side.
The old woman sighed and walked over to Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan, then quickly asked, "Dalinzi, Ruoyan, are you alright?"
Upon hearing his mother's words, Jiang Lin struggled to open his bruised eyes and looked at his mother, saying, "Something's wrong, it hurts so much."
The moment the old woman heard those words, tears streamed down her face. She then slapped her thighs with both hands and exclaimed, "Those are all heartless bastards!"
Immediately afterwards, the roar of a car engine rang out.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Lin immediately said, "We need to get back to the car!"
Otherwise, where would they find enough food and water to sustain them on their journey?
The old woman understood the meaning behind Jiang Lin's words.
But no matter what, she was only one person. How could she support Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan?
If Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan can't get up there, the old woman thinks she doesn't want to go up either.
She's already so old, and after her husband's death, she still wants to stay with her family.
Ma Ruoyan, who was on the verge of fainting, suddenly spoke up: "Let Jiang Qing come and help."
The old woman thought what he said made sense.
So the old woman turned her head and looked at the place where Jiang Qing had been standing. Apart from Jiang Cong lying on the ground, there was no sign of Jiang Qing anywhere.
Where is Jiang Qing?
Upon hearing the words, Ma Ruoyan opened her eyes. After seeing Jiang Cong lying on the ground, she got up and walked over with some difficulty.
Raising her hand to cover Jiang Cong's forehead, Ma Ruoyan said with a sob in her voice, "It's getting hotter and hotter."
Upon hearing Ma Ruoyan's words, Jiang Lin was extremely anxious, but he was in so much pain that he knew he couldn't do anything to help.
The pain they felt now was far greater than the pain they had felt when those people taught them a lesson earlier; it was much more painful now.
After thinking about those people from before, Jiang Lin naturally thought of Jiang Meng.
Jiang Lin quickly said to Ma Ruoyan and his mother, "Mom, Ruoyan, go find Jiang Meng quickly."
The old woman was still a little confused after hearing her son's words.
But Ma Ruoyan quickly realized what was happening. Just as she was about to turn around to look for Jiang Meng, she saw a motorhome whiz past her and then chased after the convoy.
As the sounds of gunfire reached her ears, Ma Ruoyan stared blankly at the RV in the distance, feeling a sense of unreality wash over her.
After noticing Ma Ruoyan's condition, the old woman immediately exclaimed, "Ah! Ruoyan, you're bleeding from your nose!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ruoyan finally felt the dampness coming from her philtrum; she was bleeding.
After wiping her philtrum with her sleeve, Ma Ruoyan said, "Don't bother looking for her anymore, she's already gone."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin sighed and said, "What a tragedy."
When Jiang Meng passed by Jiang Lin and his group, she naturally saw them. However, seeing their miserable state, Jiang Meng felt a sense of satisfaction.
What could be better than seeing your enemy suffer?
Jiang Meng also saw Jiang Cong lying on the ground. As for the person who killed the original owner, Jiang Meng had no good feelings towards him.
Seeing the state of Jiang Lin's family, Jiang Meng knew that even if she didn't intervene, their situation would remain the same.
Upon hearing this, the old woman looked completely bewildered and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan exchanged a glance before carefully telling the old woman about Jiang Meng.
The old woman was somewhat stunned and said, "Jiang Meng is so amazing now?"
Jiang Meng's previously taciturn image came to mind.
After comparing Jiang Meng with Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan, the old woman thoughtfully asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin nodded with some complicated feelings and said, "Is there any need to lie at a time like this?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman thought of the day when Jiang Qing and Jiang Meng's affair was exposed.
Thinking about her own, the old man's, and the others' reactions, the old woman sighed before saying, "No wonder Jiang Meng treats you all this way."
Looking at Jiang Lin, whose face was bruised and swollen, and Ma Ruoyan, the old woman couldn't help but say, "If we had treated Jiang Meng better before, maybe we wouldn't be like this now."
At this point, the old woman felt that she also bore some responsibility.
If they had treated Jiang Meng better back then, maybe the old man wouldn't have died, and Jiang Lin, Ma Ruoyan, and I wouldn't have been beaten.
Maybe we can all sit in Jiang Meng's RV and have a great time together.
Now things are really messed up. Not only does Jiang Meng hate them, but Jiang Qing also doesn't know where she's gone. Not to mention, there's a grandson with a high fever.
Thinking about these situations, the old woman couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, as if she were sighing out all the anger she had accumulated in her life.
After Jiang Qing left, Jiang Lin and the others chose a truck and climbed onto it.
Jiang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief after sitting quietly to one side.
Compared to being with Jiang Lin and the others, Jiang Qing felt that things were much better now.
At least I don't have to share the food I find with them, and I can only eat a little bit myself.
Moreover, I don't have to take care of that stupid younger brother.
Thinking about this made Jiang Qing feel much more relaxed. Moreover, being around Jiang Lin and the others always reminded Jiang Qing of Jiang Meng and her own situation.
Since this incident was exposed, Jiang Qing clearly felt that Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan no longer loved her as much as before.
Separation...maybe it's a good thing, Jiang Qing thought.
As time passed, Jiang Meng, who had caught up with the convoy, did not see Jiang Lin's family, but instead saw Jiang Mu's family.
Jiang Meng felt displeased looking at the energetic and somewhat spirited Jiang Mu family.
And so began Jiang Meng and Xu Tong's first transaction.
Xu Tong watched Jiang Meng's retreating figure in the RV and thought to himself, "I will definitely handle this matter well!"
In a short while, Jiang Mu's family was brutally beaten.
When Xu Tong finished work, he noticed that someone was watching him.
Xu Tong turned his head and saw a man staring straight at him.
Xu Tong, who had been keeping an eye on Jiang Meng, naturally knew that the man looking at him now was Jiang Meng's former collaborator.
The moment Xu Tong turned his head, Xiu Ge met his gaze, just like when he had seen Xu Tong deal with Jiang Mu's family earlier.
Xiu Ge immediately understood what was going on; it seemed Jiang Meng had found a new thug...
Xu Tong nodded to Brother Xiu and then walked away.
Looking at Xu Tong's retreating figure, Xiu felt a pang of sadness, as if he had lost something.
Jiang Meng thought to herself, "It has to be said that following the main group is really good."
But I really don't want to drive anymore.
It seems like I'll really need to hire a driver someday.
As for the choice of driver, Jiang Meng did not consider the Jiang Lin family or the Jiang Mu family at all. Jiang Meng wished that these two families would be as unlucky as possible.
Time passed by, day after day, and Jiang Meng was still following behind the main group.
Although the sounds of gunfire rang out from time to time, they represented a certain sense of security.
When Jiang Meng was driving the RV during the day, she could see through the rearview mirror that Jiang Lin's family was following far behind.
As for Jiang Cong, he was still half-dead.
As evening fell, Jiang Meng stopped the RV because the rest of the group needed to rest.
Even though the car had only stopped for a short while, there were loud banging sounds coming from outside the car door.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Meng turned her head and saw an old face through the glass of the car door.
According to the original owner's seniority, Jiang Meng should probably call her "Grandma".
After learning who the other person was, memories of that person flooded Jiang Meng's mind.
The other person's name is "Wu Yue", although the original owner and Wu Yue are related.
But we only see each other once or twice a year.
The original owner didn't even know how old Wu Yue was, and of course, Wu Yue didn't know how old the original owner was either.
So where is there any emotion to speak of?
No wonder Wu Yue didn't say a word when we were arguing about our relationship at Jiang Lin's house that day. Why is she looking for me now?
After Jiang Meng glanced at Wu Yue, Wu Yue, having received Jiang Meng's gaze, knew that Jiang Meng had seen her, so she waited patiently for Jiang Meng to open the door.
However, Wu Yue waited outside the car door for quite a while, but Jiang Menglai did not open the door.
Wu Yue had no choice but to say, "Jiang Meng, I'm your grandma, please open the door."
Upon hearing this, the people resting around the RV all turned to look at Wu Yue.
After all, Jiang Meng never turns off the car lights when she's resting, so many people are used to gathering around the RV when they're resting.
Even though it's just a glimmer of light, it still represents a sense of security.
When Wu Yue saw that Jiang Meng inside the RV was unresponsive, she became anxious.
My feet are really tired after walking around all day.
Although they were getting old, they couldn't keep up with Jiang Cong's illness, so Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan inevitably neglected Wu Yue when taking care of their son.
During the journey, every time her legs ached, Wu Yue secretly regretted getting off the bus.
Although I was mostly hungry on the bus, I wasn't too tired. When I was hungry, I would just take a nap and it would pass.
As a result, after following Jiang Lin and Ma Ruoyan away from the truck, Wu Yue realized how tiring walking was.
Although some food could be found by sifting through those abandoned cars, how could that food be enough for so many people?
So even the food was more than what you'd get on a truck.
But the level of exhaustion is completely different; with just a little food, walking a short distance completely consumes it all.
These are the reasons why Wu Yue is standing outside the RV door now.
Unwilling to give up, Wu Yue said wearily, "Jiang Meng, I'm your grandma. I even held you when you were little."
Even though it was only a few times, I still managed to hug him.
Jiang Meng, who was inside the RV, originally intended to ignore her, but Wu Yue's words made things quite noisy.
After walking to the car door, Jiang Meng did not open it. Instead, she spoke directly to Wu Yue through the door, saying, "You've got the wrong person. I have no feelings for you."
Upon seeing Jiang Meng appear, Wu Yue became quite excited and said, "How could you not have feelings? Our family's blood flows in your veins."
Jiang Meng looked at Wu Yue quietly, then said in a calm tone, "I don't have the habit of not hitting the elderly."
Perhaps due to the influence of the original owner, Jiang Meng couldn't help but get furious whenever she saw the original owner's family members.
Upon hearing Jiang Meng's blunt words, Wu Yue's eyes widened immediately, and she said, "I am your grandmother."
Jiang Meng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Wu Yue was so angry at Jiang Meng's words that she stomped her foot and said, "You are my granddaughter, shouldn't you take care of me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meng was speechless and said, "Are your sons all dead? How come it's my turn to take care of them?"
