After Long Yu left, Grandpa Quan looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, is the family heirloom still with you?"
Grandma Quan was taken aback when she heard her husband asking about the family
heirloom. Holding her husband's thin hand, she asked, "Are you really going to trade it for water?"
Seeing Grandpa Quan nod, her eyes reddened as she said, "That's your family heirloom from thousands of years ago. How can you trade it for water?"
Grandpa Quan gently patted her hand and sighed, "Wife, we have no more food or water, and we can't let Yuanwei keep going out every day without eating or drinking. We have lived long enough, so it's fine for us to die."
He paused for a second before asking hoarsely, "But what about Yuanwei? He hasn't even found a girlfriend yet. He is too young to die."
Seeing her hesitation, Grandpa Quan added, "Wife, it's only an object, and it can't even be eaten. But water and food can save our grandson's life. I'm willing to exchange it for his survival."
Grandma Quan sighed sadly and finally said, "Alright. I will bring the ring to the 20th floor later."
Grandpa Quan nodded, patted her hand once more, then looked out from the corridor window. He sighed again, murmuring, "When will these disasters end?"
No one knew when the disaster would end, so Grandma Quan didn't answer his question. Instead, she said, "Old man, let's go home." freёweɓnovel.com
When Long Yu passed the 19th floor again, he didn't see Grandpa and Grandma Quan, so he continued downstairs.
It took Long Yu over an hour to move all the water to the 20th floor. Thanks to his wind element ability, he could walk quickly and lighten the weight of the water containers. Otherwise, it would have taken him much longer.
After parking the truck in the parking lot behind the building and pumping out the gasoline, Long Yu locked the door and returned home. Upon arriving on the 20th floor, he found that Yao Ran was standing in front of her house.
Long Yu walked up to her, noticing a jade ring in her palm, and asked, "Ran Ran, did Grandma Quan give you that?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Yes. She said it's Grandpa Quan's family heirloom, and they want to exchange it for water and food. From Grandma Quan's condition, it looks like they haven't eaten or drunk anything for at least two days."
She sighed, looked at Long Yu, and asked, "A Yu, can you help me deliver some water and food to them?"
Long Yu nodded, "Alright."
Yao Ran took out 100 kilograms of cold-resistant potatoes, 5 kilograms of dried vegetables, 2 kilograms of pork jerky, and 200 liters of diluted lake water from her space and put them in the corridor.
