Apocalypse overlord Yun Yiyi had just perished together with a group of high-level zombies. The next moment she opened her eyes, she had become a six-year-old chubby girl. What now?
This wasn...
"Dad, try today's pig lungs and see if they are delicious." Yun Yiyi, who was standing next to her, put a large piece of chopped pig lungs on Yun the butcher's steamed bun.
Butcher Yun took a big bite of the steamed bun and pig lung.
He waited until he had finished eating before expressing his opinion.
"Yes, the pig lungs we cooked today were cooked to the perfect temperature. They tasted especially delicious."
"Dad, then you should eat more." Yun Yiyi said as she helped Yun the butcher pick up a few slices of pig lungs and put them on the steamed bun.
"I'll serve it myself. Yiyi, you've become so thin. You should eat more pig lungs to replenish your body." Yun the butcher said with concern.
"Dad, I'm so fat, and you still say I'm thin. Aren't you afraid that Brother Zirui will laugh at me?" Yun Yiyi said and rolled her eyes at Yun the Butcher.
"We are all family, who would laugh at you? Besides, how many pounds have you lost compared to before?" As Yun the butcher spoke, he felt something was wrong.
He seemed to have heard Yun Yiyi calling Zirui just now. He remembered that no one in the family had this name. He looked up quickly and saw that there was a handsome boy in the family.
"Wife, why do we have a new child? Which family is he from? I don't remember there being such a child in our village."
After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he thought about it seriously and realized that there really wasn't any.
"Boss, I forgot to tell you, this child is Xie Zirui, he is seven years old this year, just one year older than our Yiyi."
"Okay, Zirui, eat quickly. We can talk after dinner." When Yun the butcher saw that Xie Zirui didn't want to eat, he said directly.
Xie Zirui then picked up the steamed bun and chopsticks and continued to eat. Although the steamed buns were not as delicious as the ones he had eaten in the mansion before, and the dishes were simple farm dishes, Xie Zirui was very happy to eat them.
Since fleeing the famine, they haven't had such normal meals for a long time. Even if he and his wet nurse eat sparingly, they are still hungry most of the time.
Thinking of his nanny, Xie Zirui became sad again. He didn't expect that his nanny died here to save him.
"Brother Zirui, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let's go for a walk." Yun Yiyi saw that Xie Zirui was in a low mood and hurried to comfort him. She guessed that Xie Zirui must be thinking about his grandmother.
"Okay, I'll finish eating quickly, Yiyi, wait for me for a moment." Xie Zirui said and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Zhang winked at Yun the butcher, telling him to stop asking. Yun the butcher didn't ask any more questions.
Zhang and Yun the Butcher finished their meal quickly, and she dragged Yun the Butcher to the official road.
"The head of the family, Xie Zirui is the eldest, the third is the child Yiyi found while cutting firewood in the mountains. This child was terribly tragic. His grandmother died from injuries sustained while trying to protect him from human traffickers."
"Zi Rui's grandmother was buried with the help of the eldest and third sons. Oh, how could such a young child be so miserable!"
"When Zirui first came, he was completely black and it was impossible to tell what he looked like. I didn't expect it, so I just got a haircut and took a shower, and he became what he is now. If you ask me, he still looks better this way."
"Wife, does Zirui have no other relatives? I don't think he looks like a child raised in a poor family." Yun the Butcher asked in confusion.
"He said he had no other relatives at home. He and his grandmother came here to escape the famine. Once his grandmother died, he was all alone."
"Master, I like this child Zirui very much. What do you think about us adopting him?" Zhang said cautiously.
Butcher Yun didn't say anything. He thought for a while.
"Master, if we don't take care of such a young child, how will he survive without food and water? And as you can see, Zirui is too young. If he meets human traffickers, his life will be ruined."
Butcher Yun still didn't say anything.
"Boss, we have children of our own, you wouldn't want Zirui to have any accidents, right?"
"Wife, I didn't say I disagree with adopting Zirui."
"Really, boss? Then why didn't you say anything? I thought you didn't agree. You scared me." Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just thinking, you said Zirui's grandmother died from injuries sustained while trying to protect him from human traffickers, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhang replied quickly.
"Do you know where Zirui and his grandmother met the human traffickers?" Yun the Butcher asked hurriedly.
"Dad, I know. Brother Zirui's grandmother was in the square in front and saw a few men secretly planning to steal Zirui away. So, Brother Zirui and his grandmother took advantage of the men's downtime and escaped."
"Who would have thought that one of the men would catch up with us? It was at that time that Zirui's grandmother was seriously injured while trying to protect him."
"Later, Brother Zirui and his grandmother worked together to kill the man. The two of them fled to the mountains."
"When I found Brother Zirui, his grandmother had already died. Brother Zirui also fainted on the ground." Yun Yiyi said in a low voice.
"So, according to you, the human traffickers who want to capture Zirui are inside the square?"
"Yes, Dad."
"Wife, the human traffickers haven't seen Zirui's current appearance, right?" Yun the Butcher confirmed again.
"Dad, no. When Zirui first came, his whole body was pitch black and you couldn't see what he looked like at all." Yun Yiyi answered affirmatively.
"In that case, Zirui is safe. Yiyi, go and call Zirui over." Butcher Yun arranged for Yun Yiyi to run errands.
"I heard you, Dad. I'll go right away." Yun Yiyi made a face and ran away.
"Wife, let's do as you say and adopt Zirui. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to live alone."
"Boss, I knew you would agree." Zhang said happily.
"Wife, we have to find an identity for Zirui. We can't say he was picked up, otherwise those gossipy women in the village will start talking nonsense again."
"Master, you're right. Let me think about it. Well, if we have one, we can just say he's the child of my sister-in-law and my brother's family. How about that? If anyone asks, we can just say my sister-in-law took him to my mother's house during the Spring Festival and I met him a few times."
"As for how they met, just say that Yiyi sneaked into the square and found them. What do you think, boss?" Zhang asked hurriedly.
Butcher Yun looked at Zhang's excited expression and shook his head helplessly. Women's imaginations are really powerful. In just a moment, he had a complete life story.
"Wife, it's okay. I think if we mix the truth with the lies, it will be harder for others to tell the difference."
After listening to Yun the Butcher's words, Zhang also felt that they made sense.
"Then we'll tell the real story, saying that the eldest brother and his two companions found Zirui and his dead grandmother while collecting firewood in the woods behind."
