"Ahhh..."
Xiao Xiwang was very happy to see Qin Su.
Qin Su walked over with a smile, picked up the little one, and held it in her arms. The little one, with its milky scent, was soft and cuddly, so cute.
"Is Little Hope thinking of Xie Erxun?"
The little boy nodded, pointing at Xie Erxun's photo, his eyes full of questions.
Qin Su immediately understood that he was asking Xie Erxun when he would return.
"I don't know when he'll be back; it'll probably take a while."
I wonder if Sher has found his teacher yet? This somewhat foolish kid is wandering alone in the apocalypse; I wonder if he's safe.
ah!
Xiao Xi lowered her eyes and hugged the photo to her chest, as if this would make her and Xie Erxun together.
Qin Su gently rubbed his little head and asked softly.
"Little Hope, next, I'm going to ask you some questions. Can you answer me by nodding or shaking your head?"
Little Hope nodded.
"You know about things outside of space, and you know how to deal with many things, right?"
Mmm...
Little Hope nodded earnestly.
"Do you know who was actually the one who trapped us before?"
Little Hope nodded, then shook her head.
Ahhhhhh...
He wanted to express himself, but unfortunately he couldn't speak properly and could only make "ah ah ah" sounds, which Qin Su couldn't understand at all.
"You mean you know what he looks like, but you've never seen him and can't recognize him, right?" Qin Su guessed.
Mmm...
Little Hope nodded again, then pointed her little hand to the warehouse.
Qin Su looked at the warehouse, where many magnets were placed outside.
"You mean, if there had been more magnets, that person could have been trapped?"
Mmm...
Little Hope smiled, her clear eyes looking at Qin Su with happiness and dependence.
Qin Su's heart softened terribly. She had thought that children were troublesome creatures, but Xiao Xiwang gave her the feeling of a little angel.
Little Hope is so well-behaved, so cute, and so smart.
She had initially thought the child was too young, so she would keep him in her space for a year before handing him over to the resort staff. But she never expected the child to grow so quickly; in just a few months, he had already developed such a powerful mind.
It seems that before returning to Wancheng, she needs to find an opportunity to bring Xiao Xiwang out of the space.
As they continued forward, Qin Su would occasionally enter the space to teach Xiao Xiwang some principles. Although the child was smart, he was still young and some things needed to be taught before he would understand.
With Huo Sijin covering for her, her fifth uncle, who was in the same car, never noticed anything.
"Su Su, the road ahead is impassable; we need to go and fix it first."
The car stopped, and my second uncle's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
Looking out the window, I could see that my third uncle had already led a group of people to handle the situation.
This place has probably experienced a minor earthquake; there are collapses all around, not very serious, but vehicles cannot pass through.
The group worked hard and got closer and closer to Wancheng. Everyone was eager to arrive and settle down as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake.
Qin Su's heart skipped a beat: "Was it an earthquake?"
Huo Sijin went out to check around, and when she came back, her expression was much more relaxed.
"Don't worry, it's just an aftershock and won't cause too much danger."
Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was no danger.
As the aftershocks subsided, everyone finally felt much more at ease.
"Hey, what's that over there?"
Someone pointed at the black dot in the distance, puzzled.
Qin Su took out her binoculars and saw a group of ragged people rushing toward them.
Are they here to rob us?
After the cannibals, I haven't encountered any robberies since. Are these people just here to get themselves killed?
Those people ran fast; in just a few minutes, they reached them.
Just when Qin Su thought these people were about to rob him, they knelt down instead.
"Please have pity on us, we really have no other choice. We have no food and we haven't had a drop of water for three days."
Qin Su: ……
People looked at these people and felt pity, but in the end times, who had extra food?
No one uttered a sound, and the old man who was leading the group looked even more desolate.
“I know, I know everyone is helpless. We old folks can just starve to death, but can you help those children? They are so young, they can’t die.”
Qin Su noticed that although these people were starving and skin and bones, the children were still being protected behind them.
"Eat them, and you will survive."
Qin Su said deliberately.
"How can this be? We're not animals, how can we eat children? Even if we die, we will not eat children."
The old man looked at Qin Su warily; the people behind him had clearly hidden the children even better.
In her previous life, Qin Su had witnessed countless instances of children being eaten; she never expected that in this second life, she would encounter people protecting their children.
“Girl, if you really want to eat human flesh, you can choose any of us except the children. Just please give the children some food.”
They had searched everywhere, but there was absolutely no food left. So, even if he felt Qin Su wasn't a good person, he accepted it for now.
"Huo Sijin, go and get them some food."
Huo Sijin returned to the car and gave some food to the old man.
"Thank you, thank you all."
The old man thanked him repeatedly with gratitude.
It was only half a bag of grain, yet it moved him so much. Qin Su felt a little down.
"If you can't survive, you can go to Wancheng for a visit."
The old man nodded: "Thank you, young lady."
Qin Su didn't know if they would go to Wancheng, or if they would arrive safely, but she was already being kind by letting them go. How they got to Wancheng was their business.
However, if these people come to Wancheng, she should revise the corresponding rules.
Having received the food, the old man and his men stood aside with it until Qin Su and the others left. Then they began to cook, discussing their trip to Wancheng as they cooked.
“I’ve heard of Wancheng. The people there have food and drink, and they haven’t faced any danger in the apocalypse.”
"I've also heard that they've opened the Qingshi Fishing Ground, where people from Wancheng can go fishing and exchange the fish for grain."
"No one in Wancheng starved to death; their lives were simply paradise..."
After distributing the cooked food, the old man finally addressed everyone.
"With this amount of food, we'll run out in two days at most. Without food, we'll still be waiting to die. Let's go to Wancheng and see if there's any chance left."
After finishing their meal, the old man had everyone pack up their supplies, and then they set off.
Qin Su kept looking back through the binoculars specially designed by Huo Sijin. When she saw the old man leading everyone on their way, a smile appeared on her lips.
