Chapter 41 The Yan Family Father and Son
Chapter 41 The Yan Family Father and Son
Following the address provided by Yan He, the two quickly arrived at a simple wooden house.
This is a place far from residential areas.
Although planet R15 is underdeveloped, it still has densely populated areas, which are designated as safe zones by the planetary management agency. These areas are far from the forests and are relatively safe.
Like many places, the forests here are home to various strange beasts, and ordinary people dare not venture into them easily.
But everything has two sides. Although forests are dangerous, they are also a source of livelihood for many people.
Many people here rely on hunting exotic beasts for a living. They usually form fixed teams, and after hunting the beasts, they either eat them themselves or sell them to buyers, which is their means of survival.
In addition, there are various edible plants in the forest, and if you are lucky, you can find rare purifying plants. So even though people know it is very dangerous, they still have to risk entering the forest for survival.
Although entering the forest is a last resort, people with better conditions would not choose to live on the outskirts of the safe zone, since if the monsters were to rampage, those on the outskirts would be the first to be affected.
The wooden house in front of Lin Shushu and the others, although still within the safe zone, was on the outskirts, closest to the forest. This showed just how dire Yan He's family's circumstances were.
The Yan family members inside the house heard the sound coming from the house when Lin Shushu and her flying car landed, including Yan Qing, who was lying weakly on the bed.
Looking at the extraordinary man and woman before me, are these the owners of the pill shop? They are indeed unusual; no wonder they can produce such miraculous pills.
The group looked at Lin Shushu and her companions' clean and tidy clothes, the material of which they had never seen before. They also looked at the cool flying car parked on the ground, which they had only seen on the StarNet.
For a moment, the Yan family felt somewhat inferior. Their clothes, while not tattered, were certainly not presentable; they were made of the cheapest materials, washed countless times and already faded. The house behind them was low and dilapidated, and they didn't even dare invite guests inside.
"You're Yan He?" Mo Ze looked at the youngest boy among them. Of the three, some were old and some were weak, and the only one who was relatively healthy was this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
Upon hearing the question, Yan He immediately snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.
He immediately stepped forward and respectfully said to Mo Ze, "Yes, I am Yan He."
Mo Ze sized him up. The boy looked thin, but he was quite bold. However, seeing the expressions of the two people beside him, Mo Ze understood that his act of daring to send a private message with requests was all for the sake of his family.
Nodding secretly, Mo Ze looked at the weak young man among the three. Clearly, this was the reason why the boy made his request.
The frail young man was as thin as a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. When he saw Mo Ze looking at him, he gave a faint smile, showing no obsequiousness despite the fact that the person before him might be his hope for survival.
The old man beside her had hope in his eyes, but his gaze was also very clear.
After observing the family, Mo Ze developed a good impression of them, and their trip was worthwhile.
Lin Shushu didn't say a word the whole time, but she saw the expressions on the faces of the three of them and nodded to herself inwardly.
She could tell that the pollution level in the young man's body was at least 85%, and without the elixir, he might not survive more than two years in this place.
Chao Moze nodded, and Moze understood.
"Won't you invite us in for a seat?"
The family of three then woke up and, looking guilty, invited the two inside.
Upon entering the lobby, a table stood in the center, furnished with four chairs. On the table were only a kettle and a few mismatched cups.
The old man, Yan Li, the boy's father, invited the two to sit down. "The house is simple; please don't mind."
Mo Ze remained noncommittal, but did as he was told and pulled Lin Shushu to sit down, showing no sign of dislike.
Seeing that the two men did not show any disgust, the father and his two sons were relieved.
The scene fell silent again.
Mo Ze didn't waste any words. "We've already seen your situation," he said, looking at the young man. "Your problem is just a matter of one pill."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing assumed that he was going to make some demands.
"This...shop owner, I'm very grateful for your help. If there are any conditions, I hope my family won't be involved."
Looking at the determined young man, Mo Ze knew he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain. "Then what can you offer in return?"
Yan Qing was speechless. Yes, what could she possibly offer? The two people opposite her clearly lacked nothing, while her own family was penniless. What could she possibly do for them?
“My brother is a level four warrior, and he can do a lot for you.” Yan He, who was standing to the side, was afraid that the two people in front of her would not save her brother, so she quickly spoke up to answer.
“Level four warriors may be rare here, but they’re not worth my attention.” Mo Ze glanced at Yan He.
Mo Ze's words made Yan Qing's face turn pale, but he did not show any inferiority because of it. "In any case, I should thank you, because my father recovered his health using your pills."
The greatest fortune is that her father has recovered his health, and even if she were to pass away, her younger brother would have someone by his side. As for herself, Yan Qing doesn't even dare to hope to survive.
Seeing that the father and son next to her were almost crying with anxiety, Lin Shushu glanced at Mo Zeheng.
"Alright, stop teasing them." She then turned to the father and his two sons. "We're here to resolve the issue, not to make things difficult for anyone. You don't need to worry about having to pay any unacceptable conditions."
Mo Ze stroked his chin. He had only asked a couple of probing questions because he thought this family had a good character, so why was Shu Shu looking at him like that?
Hearing Lin Shushu's words, the three men and their fathers' gloom vanished, and a hint of anticipation appeared in their eyes.
Suddenly, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Shushu's hand, which she gently placed on the table in front of the father and his two sons.
"This...this is the Purification Pill? They really gave it to us?" Yan He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Such a precious pill, given to them so easily?
Lin Shushu smiled and nodded.
Yan Qing looked at Mo Ze, and seeing that he didn't object, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. If one could live, who could calmly face death?
"Take these quickly, there are four inside, keep the rest for yourselves."
The father and his two sons were shocked. All four of them were given to them?
Yan Qing withdrew his hand from the jade bottle; he was a little hesitant to accept such a huge windfall.
Seeing his actions, Lin Shushu spoke up again, "Hurry up and accept it. This is your advance payment. Once you're better, I'll hire you to work for me."
Yan Qing carefully observed Lin Shushu and Mo Ze's expressions and seemed to realize that they were not bad people, so he finally accepted the jade bottle.
